& over for Poultry.

Clover is an excellent poultry food
not to be fed alone, but with grain. It
takes the place, TO a great degree, of
the green food which poultry get for
themselves when allowed to run on the
farm in summer. Pack a few barrels of
it away and see if it doesn't pay, in the
increased number OF eggs and bet
ter general health of your fowls. Green
second crop clover should be used--the
younger and tenderer the better. Pack
1t in a heavy. iron-bound barrel. such as
clover in, little by little, pressing it
tightly as possible with heavy piece
of wood-a piece of cordwood, for in
stance. Pound and jam it down until
every bit of space in the barrel is full,
then put on a cover, aud on toy of that
a heavy stone, and let your cheese"
stand for a month. The stone ought to
weigh two hundred pounds, and then
your clover will come ont 4 solid block,
that can be cut in slices. When you
want to feed it. take the barrel apart
and put your clover cake on box or in
some dry place Shave off thin slices
with a sharp knife, and feed to the hens
at noon instead of grain. Pack enough
of the clover to last until you can let
your hens out again in the spring. and
after feeding it see ii your receipts in
eggs don't fully pay for all your trouble.
The hens are as glad to get filling food
as horses are to have hay.-Farm, Field
and Stockuan.

PRAIRIE ROADS.
Suggestions for Making and for Keeping
Them Up.

Them Up.
J. NJ Hollingsworth. Ridge Farm,
Ill, writes Orange Judd Farmer: Keep
all stock off the roads. We farmers do
nate a portion of our farmS-on which
We pay taxes, toto the public for
highways-not for COW pastures and
hog lots, but for travel. 1t is the height
of absurdity to turn domestic animals
out upon the highway. One great rea-
son why this practice has become so
prevalent Is because only about half of
the strip of land set apart for the high
way purposes is used for roads. Let US
be more careful in this direction. En-
force the law on eight foot hedges, and
allow no hedge brush 10 remain at the
sides of the road. Keep the weeds also
moved down clean.
1t is time We abandoned the practice
of throwing Gp a high, narrow grade
with yawning chasm on each side to
collect water, and as the years go by
and better road is determined upon.
putting a foot OF gravel in a narrow
strip right in the middle of that In
winter you can hardly keep on top OF it,
and in summer you sincerely wish you
could get somewhere else without up
setting.
The gravel and the horses feet are
continually wearing each other out and
much of the time 10 no purpose. Farm
erS always will object to gravel roads IN
summer, and justly. too. A good, dry
dirt track is by far the best for man and
beast. saving much expense for shoeing
and blacksmithing, saving the horses,
and immensely saving the gravel during
a greater part of the year.
Suppose we have u fifty-foot roadway.
Allowing six feet on each side between
fence and gutter three feet would do
with wire or picket fencingl, and four
feet for gutter and slope. we have left
thirty feet OK clear roadway. Make
with an improved grading machine
slightly rounding grade, the middle
about one foot above the cutters. Give
full width. Tile each gutter three or
four feet below the surface: sewer pipe
is good for cuiverts if put down deep.
Now lay out two fifteen-foot tracks side
by side on the grade. and as fast as the
township can stand it. gravel one OF the
tracks. Put all the gravel to one side
of the middle of the grade. You now
have a highway with room for four wag-
ons abreast, and upon which travelling
at any time of year will be pleasure
With the right kind of men in charge
the cost of such roads Will not exceed
in the next twenty-five years the entire
cost of the misera BILE excuses on which
We now travel.

A Haunted House L.

This body of ours has been likened to
a tenement. 1t often has q haunted
apartment--the stomach. Scared by the
eldrich sprite, dyspepsia. digestion flies
and refuses to return. What can break
the spell, what can raise the ban laid up-
on the unhappy orgaDsf We answer un
hesitatingly, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and we are warranted in response by the
recorded testimony of myriads. covering
a period Of over third of century. A
course of the Bitters, begun in any stage
Of the affection, and persistently fol,
lowed, will terminate in cure positive, not
partial. The Bitters restores tone to the
epigastric nerve, renews and purifies the
juices exuding from the cellular tissue
that act upon the food digestively, expels
bile from the stomach and the blood. and
promotes a regular habit of body. Ma
laria, kidney complaint, nervousness,
rheumatism and neuralgia give way to
this medicine.

Mr.. Gannon'- Defense OF journalism.
The eloquent and convincing speech Of
NJ. V. Cannon, formerly an able attorney
Of the tri-cities, for the defense of Mr..
Rosewaier. Of the Omaha Bee, in the libel
suit of Vandervoot. appears in full in the
Bee OF Jan. 80. Among the many elo-
quent things uttered by Mr.. Cannon were
these.
As an exponent Of independent jour
nalism. my client, Edward Rosewater,
stands at this bar. He represents a
power that Ia not in the futaity of prince
to destroy. II is not In the yeuallty of
legislatures TO destroy. In the Ian
guage of Charles Philips, murder IL
and 1t will revive, bury It aud IL will
ascend and any attempt Mt its suppress
sion will only prove the truth Of its i'm
mortality" From small beginnings Ed
ward Rosewater has made the Omaha
Bee a power in the land. HIS shrewd
head, stout heart. and indomitable will
have done it. Wealth might threaten
him. slavelings might Islander him, lick,
spittles plot against him, brutes assault
him. but undismayed he has held out
against them all, until in that palace of
journalism on yonder hill he laughs al
those who envy his well>won success, and
is not afraid Of the frownings of incor-
porated capital.
