PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August Pc.
w. Twining, of Yardley, reports John
S. at home from the start in Greer'S, S. c.
o35 miles, last Wednesday, and although
not reported until yesterday he has rea-
son to believe that it made better time
than Eddie H., which bird holds first
honors for the journey and for fifteen
miles greater distance.
Mr.. Twining's residence and loft sat
Yardley, but his business is at his quar-
ries, some fifteen miles beyond. The
bird instead of stopping atits home went
on to the Quarries and into the chicken
coop, where it was captured and held
prisoner until yesterday, when Mr.. Twin
ing went to look at it, not expecting to
find it his own, and liberated it to fly
home, where he fonnd it upon his re-
turn. The bird was caught at about s
o'clock the afternoon following the start.
The distance to the quarries from the
place of liberating is about $50 miles.
The birds now out for this start are Wal
ter y. and Daisy S. Mr.. TWining has
had nine birds liberated in Greer's, and
has all but three at home. One, Torch
light, is still in Greer's.
The bird Dusky, owned by Fred Bow
ers, of Fall River, Mass, was liberated
at Albert Lea, Minn, yesteaday morning
at o'clock The distance, ar line, to its
home is about LIPS miles. The birds
last journey was from OWaSso, Mich,
when it covered the go miles, arriving
at home the third day The record to be
beaten is for distance by a pigeon, now
held by Alabama. belonging to Samuel
Hunt, of Fall River, for the journey
from Montgomery, Ala, 1850 miles.
Time out: y days.
Twenty-seven birds hatched this year,
and the property of Theodore p. Green,
of Woodbury., were sent to the 3l5 miles
station Yesterday, for liberating on the
first favorable morning. In this fly the
birds will have about l25 miles OF new
country to cover. In the previous Jour-
ney they had IS miles Only four young
sters have been lost to this loft this

\ year ago the roll Of the various

the alliance membership now numbers
about thirty-tive thousand. 1t is mat
ter of much doubt, however, if the alli-
ance leaders can rely upon the members
of the order to furnish anything like such
a number of votes in a political contest
The leaders and rank and file of the or.

do that party serious harm if they
should set up a political organization OF
their own. but it will be seen how i'm
practicable would be an effort to con-
troll the Democratic party in the State

EDITOR News BY invitation of the
Georgia Hedge Fence Co.. in company
with party Of gentlemen from Schiey
and sumter Counties, visited Bow
ling Green, Ky, on the 18th inst for the
purpose of examining the Hedge fences
in that locality We found there several
fences all set in 1884, being now between
and years sid.
The owners of these fences express
themselves as well pleased with them,
and one of them, r. f. Dulancy. q prom
inent citizen Of that city, is very enthu-
siastic in his praise OF the system. In
my opinion he has the poorest fences /
saw, on account of the manner in which
he has kept them trimmed. He trims
perpendicularly, making the fence too
narrow at the base. The proper shape
being that of a cone. There is no doubt
about this fence being a success if prop
erly set out and trimmed. | have been
told that there are fences in Ohio and
Tennessee much older and in perfect
condition. If this be true then there
can be no doubt about the permanancy Of
/ the fence. On the 2nd or Bird year after
setting the plants are flashed down
with wire an angle of As degrees, for the
the two-fold purpose of dwarfing the
plants and forcing out on top side mum
Der of sprouts or limbs thereby making
a dense hedge. Larger of these upright
limbs, will, of course, be nearest the
root of the mother plant and by reason
Of their size and position appropriate to
themselves each year more and more OF
the nutritiye drawn from the earth and
atmosphere and thereby may finally per
ish and destroy the original plant.
In this connection will suggest anoth
er query: Can any plant be dwarfed Sc
as that it viii remain about the same
size and shape and yet continue perpet
ually vigorous and thrifty?
These are only theories and hope is
nothing in them the perpetuity rnd fina
; suoce Of the hedge fence, for 1 believe
it to be a very valuable invention should
it prove to be all that is claimed for it.
