began a lockout, which by to- morrow

The lockout was commenced in pursu-

adopted at q largely attended meeting
last evening. The cause given, it is al

Relics Of @ Past Age.

Captain A. 0. Paine, of Cocoa, Fla,
has shells and pottery taken from the
mound on the east bank of Indian River
at the foot of Merritt Island. These
shells and fragments were taken from the
mound about thirty feet below the sur
face, the action of the water having
washed away a large portion OF the
mound and leaving the strata exposed to
view. From that portion of the mound
used as a burial ground only conch
shells were taken from among the skele-
tons. and the curious feature of the case
is that in every conch shell a hole Is
broken in the same relative position. 1t
is supposed that the conehes were buried
with the dead to be used as food in the
happy hunting grounds, anu to faclll-
tate the eating process each shell was
broken so that the fish could be eaten
without trouble.

A Great Guesser.

Frank Gibbons, who died recently at
Hibernia, N. Y, was the greatest guesser
of the age. His Faculty was first de
veloped in a homely way, and did not at
tract a great deal of attention. 1t be-
came a recognized characteristic when
the boy would stand at the end of a row
of potatoes and guess with singularly
close approaches to accuracy how many
of the vegetables would be found in each
hill. He could guess the number of
eggs in a basket, the quantity of milk in
Q pail, the number of sticks of wood in a
load, how many bushels of corn would be
husked from a patch, and in a hundred
instances he guessed within one or two
how many grains of corn there were on
an ear.

INCREASING THE MANURE HEAP.

While it is not economy to increase the
quantity of manure at the expense of
quality, at the same time it is quite i'm.
portaut to see that nothing that will
make a good fertilizer is allowed to waste.
If the plan of cleaning out the stables
and sheds is followed and the manure is
piled up either under shelter or without,
it will be found advantageous to save all
the more easily soluble portions as it is
this that is the more liable to be lost.
Is supplying plenty of bedding in the
stables Or sheds all the liquid portions
may be absorbed and held, and then if
care is taken in the piIing the losses by
teaching may be greatly lessened. Agood
layer of straw, leaves Or other litter
should be put on the ground first, this
will hold a. good per cent. of the soluble
portions, and then if there is a consider
able Quantity piled up a layer of straw
orlitter can after be put in to good adj
vantage.
This is especially the case when there
is a considerable quantity of straw,
more than can be used for feeding to good
advantage. 1t is less work to haul direct
from the stables to the fields, but this
cannot always be done to the best advan-
tage, and to avoid allowing too large a
quantity to accumulate in the stables il
will be necessary to pile outside.
A shed will protect considerably and
especially will avoid teaching.
When this cannot be done, piling IN a
circular heap putting a good layer of
straw underneath and covering with a
layer of straw or litter will protect CON
siderably.
Te throw manure out of the stable
without cover, or piling so as to shed
water, is to lose considerable part of the
most valuable properties, and as the ex-
pense of handling and applying is the
same it should be the aim to W. all the
soluble portions as fully as possible.
MANURE should be considered a product
of the farm and should be handled SO as
TO realize the best possible results, avoid,
ing waste and securing as far as possible
all the benefits in order to increase thf
profits. Farm, Field and Stockman.

MONEY FROM SHEEP IN WINTER.

To be successful in raising early lambs
several things are essential: .
First, warm, dry barns, we'll VENT.
lated. Barns SO warm that water will
never freeze in them are not So difficult
to secure even with old open buildings,
Get some poles or old boards and nail
them on the inside, filling between with
straw Or poor hay To be sure this will
not make q fancy barn, but it will Sc
cure warmth and cost but a triie.
SECOND, good feeding, with a variety
of food at different times. To make
enough milk to keep the lambs growing,
the ewes must have some succulent food
like beets, silage " apples, as we'll as a
liberal grain ration. The regularity of
feeding is also important, for, if the
sheep do not receive their food at the
time they should, they will be uneasy,
walking around, bleating, and in every
way indicating that they are impatient
for. it.
Third, their food must be kept clean,
and no dirty troughs or drinking tubs
can be allowed, for they arc very par
ticular about having their food clean.
Lastly, one of the most important cen
ditions is good care. The man who goes
rushing about the pens with a great deal
of noise, will not make a good shepherd.
Sheep are very timid, and they will be
nervous and frightened all the time.
When you see a man sitting down in a
pen with the lambs climbing upon him,
or nibbling his coat, and the sheep eating
or lying with half shut eyes, chewing
their ends, you may be pretty sure that
you have the right man to take care OF
sheep,-NeW England Homestead.

THE FARM AMI Il ID
CUTTING FODDER BY HAND

III the farmer continues TO chop up
cornstalks and other coarse feed by hand,
he need not wonder if his sons take a dis
like to farming, and quit it at the earliest
chance they find for some pleasanter EN-.
p~loyment. Many a young mar leaves
The farm because he has a liking for ma.
chinery, and desires to engage in work
where he will direct the forces of steam
or horse power, rather than do everything
with his own muscles. Such a young
man is just now especially needed on the
farm. In a few years we believe that a
majority of farmers will find it profitable
to keep a steam engine to saw wood, cut
fodder and furnish power for many oper.
ations now performed by hand. More

If farmers and others who have the
care of animals could so far identify them
selves with the creatures under thelI
charge as to feel that they belong to the
same great animal kingdom, and that
they have much in common with them so
far as the functions of life are concerned,
ii would save much suffering and loss.
lin breathing, for example, pure air is as
necessary to the horse as to its owner,
and the effect of deteriorating the air By
breathing it is the same in both cases.
Proper ventilation in the sleeping apart
ment is as necessary to the health OF one
las Of the other. In an equal manner
both require food to keep the body warm,
and more of it, and of a more nutritious
character in cold than in warm weather.

A Hangman's Double Life.

Writing about the prospective retire.
ment of Joe Atkinson-on account of
the electrical execution law.-the New
York correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press says:
It is doubtful if any nan ever was more
successful in leading a double life, so to
speak, than this man Atkinson. His
name is not Atkinson at all, and he
never goes by that name except in con-
n~ection with hanging. Il is only his
nom de gallows, as it were. At his home
in Brooklyn and among his acquaint-
ances he bears a totally different name.
He is quite a home, body too, in his way,
and his acquaintance are not q few. But
neither in his home nor among his &C
quaintances is there any suspicion that he
is also the Joe Atkinson SO often men
toned in the newspapers. He has a
trade, that of a carpenter, and ne follows
it regularly, under his real name, and
could make a fair living at it without any
of the hanging business. How ne has
contrived to keep the identity OF Joe At
kinson, the hangman, and the identity
of his real self, the working carpenter,
separated SO many years, is a marvel.
Thousands of guesses as to who Atkinson
really is have been made, but no one has
yet bit the mark. 1t was in 1858, thirty
six years ago, that his first regular job as
a hangman was done, and he has since
had over forty jobs of the same kind at
the Tomhs, vel it does not appear that in
his goings to them, or his presence at
them, he has ever been connected by any
body's eye or in anybody's mind with the
honest carpenter of another name. 81
have kept this thing pretty quiet Sc far
he says, ssand 7 am going to as long as
live Chiefly for the sake Of his family,
who "haven't anything to do with hang
ing, and should not be made unhappy
| about it. Quite right, 6Mr. Atkinson il
does you credit to spare your family.
