A Blightcd Hone.

DR.. Franklin was the greatest philoso-
pher America has produced and one Of
the wisest men in practical matters, yet
he made as bad a break as man could
well make in disposing of his property by
will Among other things he left fund
Of $1,000 for young mechanics of the
city of Boston. 1t should be managed
in way directed by the doctor himself,
and after its accum1lations had reached
a sufficient sum it was to be available
for the benefit OF young apprentices who
had faithfully served their time, But
when the money reached by increase
such sum that itwould do what Frank
lin calculated on, behold, the apprentice
system was done away with almost alto
gether Men worked in factories in
stead of serving apprenticsships, and ma
chinery did what the human hand had
done in the days Of Benjamin Franklin.
The original 5000 has increased to
1858, 741.12. Not knowing what to do
with it the authorities Of Boston sought
to make use Of it to improve Franklin
park. The descendants of Franklin have,
however, enjoined them from this, and
claim the money for themselves on the
ground that it has not been used accord
ing to intent Of the will Now the law
yers will get most of it, and it will not
do anybody any good. The moral is
that which Benjamin Franklin himself
enforced so often: When you want q
thing done, do it yourself,

BOW tn Get e., In Winter.

Any theory that fails to result in eggs
in the winter is failure, however nice
ly advanced. Any theory that suggests
impracticable things for the locality for
which it is written is also useless. For
instance, The advice to feed oyster shells
to chickens in Dakota and wheat to them
in the New England states is not practi-
cal Reverse the conditions or reverse
the feed, and the task becomes an easy
one. Oyster shells are plenty in New
England and wheat in Dakota. The ad,
vice so often given to- give "green food"
is very good, and yet many people viii
have but little to give during the win
ter
Fresh meat is recommended. Few
will have it to spare, and yet nearly
every one has milk. 1t is good either
sweet or sour, and will largely replace
fresh meat. We know of nothing better
or more accessible to the majority Of
farmers than milk. Itshould be warmed
so that it is pretty hot. Once or twice a
week put in a teaspoonful of cayenne
pepper. This fed in the morning with
some scaldcd chopped feed will put hens
in good condition for business, They
must have little pure water once day,
box of ashes in one corner of the hen
house, and some old plaster or lime NOR
tar, a pile of coarse sand, gravel or broken
crockery. Glass Is recommended by
some. We have not tried it.
The hen house must be warm enough,
so there will be no frozen combs or wat
ties. 1t should have large south win
dow, and the hens should not be let out
when the weather is cold enough to
freeze their combs. A few hours in the
middle of the day gives them needed
exercise. Get them in early in the after
noon, and give them all the whole grain
they will eat-wheat, oats, corn, bar
ley or buckwheat-no sloppy feed for
supper. Change the feed occasionally.

HORNLEss CATTLE.
Would 1t Re Possible to Breed Families
OF Them?

Would It He Possible to Breed Families
OF Them?
Of late there has been less said on the
subject of dehorning cattle than was
written and said year OF two ago. So
far as we understand the sentiment Of
the cattle handling community it has
resolved itself to remove the horns on
bulls, vicious cows and steers that are to
be fatted for the shambles. Good, well
behaved cows will not as g rule be dis
mantled of their horn appendages 1t is
certain that the shorthorn breeders and
the Jersey breeders will never consent to
r removal of the horns. On the con-
trary they will devote much time, skill
and expense in fling, scraping, coloring
and polishing the headgear Of their pet
animals.
The average cattle handlers, though,
would prefer cattle without horns,
though many of them doubt the proprie-
~ Of dehorning. Mr.. Morse, of the
Windsor farm, has given the subject Of
norns or no horns much study, and has
some confidence that he can produce a
family of Holsteins that viii be born
without horns. He argues that a curb
back is apt to be transmitted by horse,
and why not a hornless head in cattle?
Defects are reproduced, whether natural
or artificial, with considerable certain
ty, and the transmission becomes more
certain with each generation until the
popularity is fixed There is some
logic in the gentleman's reasoning, and
we shall not be surprised to see hornless
heads, made hornless by breeding,
among the Windsor Holsteins.
1t is altogether probable that breed
of cattle could be produced in time with
only one horn or without tails. Patience
and perseverance in one direction would
accomplish almost any marvel of that
kind. These results are scarcely more
remarkable than the popularity of the
Poland China hogs, for instance, which
have become fxed-the tip forward of
the top of the fine ear, the heavy hams
and the color, which differs from all
other breeds, or the dished face of the
small Yorl1shires; or to go back to cattle,
the short and comparatively small norns
of the Jerseys, shorthorns, Guernseys
and Observation-Disclosures. 1t is worth
while to try to build families of hornless
cattle in all the good breeds.-Field and
Farm.

Rnrinr breeding Chickens.

New breeds will be purchased by many
this fall, and late in the autumn is a
good time to buy them. IF the matter
is put off until spring the prices will be
higher, and the yards will not be so full,
so that you cannot have your pick. The
first buyers as rule get the best speci-
mems. for they have a pick from large
iocks. Cockerel5 for crossing are cheap.
In buying, however, one should not go
in for the new breeds, but stick to the
old reliable kinds. Many of the widely
advertised new breeds are only novelties,
and they last generally for only season
or two. An old breed is guarantee
that it possesses many good qualities. If
pure breeds are not used it is better to
use a cross than to let them breed pro-
miscuously without regard to system

How an Ingenious Farmer Gets Plenty %
Water, Ducks and Fish.
will endeavor to tell my readers as
briefly as possible how l have plenty Of
stock water convenient to my lots, plenty
of fish for my table and plenty of fine
Pekin ducks for the table, and also for
their fine feathers Some five or six
years ago, not having water convenient,
l built tank, say thirty steps from my
lots and little above them, by building
a large dam across ravine, and just
here l will say to prevent leaking plow
a land the width of the base of the dam
across the ravine or wherever the dana
is to be made, then build on top Of
plowed land.
My tank is in black land with yellow
clay subsoil and will hold water from
January till the late fau rains, In it we
put a few small perch and yellow and
specllled or blue catfish; they multiplied
very rapidly and we now have all the
fish we want for table use both of perch
and catfish, the former | think the finest
ever saw. For while after the tank
was built was fearful of it being ruined
by crawfsh, they being very numerous
in it. noticed, however, that the ducks
feasted upon them So went to work
to raise more ducks; procured trio of
Pekins, and at this time have forty-one
of them and no crawfish to be seen.
The ducks are very superior fowl, be-
ing entirely free from disease, and I'M
surpassed for the table, besides nearly
equaling the goose for feathers, of very
fine quality. So you see have plenty
of water for stock, fish for the table, and
the white beauties for the table and also
for their feathers, besides the pleasure
afforded my wife by showing them to
her friends Now perhaps some one
will want to know how to raise them.
Our best success has been in the follow
ing way:
We hatch them under chicken hen.
Then put in a pen made by placing three
or four planks a foot wide edgewise on a
dry spot of ground, with cover at one
side to house them in bad weather
Keep them in pen until they are at least
month old, with all the feed they want,
and just enough water to drink, as they
are injured by having water to dabble
in when young. They will then do well
in the yard with just enough water to
drink, but much better if they have a
pond or plenty of water. Ours spend
nearly all their time on the water, COM
ing out to eat two or three times day.

Points of Interest.

The change from old to new corn in
feeding, especially with hogs, should be
made gradually, mixing old and new to-
gether at first.
One of the best places for garden is
the site of an old poultry yard. Good
farmers sometimes build temporary in
closures for fattening hogs upon bare
spots in their fields, By the time the
hogs are ready to slaughter the bare
spot will have been transformed into an
oasis of fertility.
Bran mashes at night. with green food
during the day. are good for constipa-
ton in horses
The census returns show that the cat
tie ranches are becoming smaller in size;
so are the herds that range over them.
There are as many cattle as ever, but
they are in smaller buncEes and the
number of different owners is greater.
The tendency of the time is for the small
ranch or farm to encroach on the cattle
range and absorb it.
Potatoes, when crushed and mixed
with meal, have valuable fattening prop
srties for both cattle and hogs.
Cook potatoes for the pigs, hut crush
them and give them raw to the cattle.
When a fowl has scsly leg dip the leg
into kerosene and il will get well
The Mckinley law doubles the duty
on corsets. If, however, they expect
this will stay the tide of corset wearers
or loosen the strings that bind woman to
her corset, reformers are indulging in a
vain hope.

SIXTY YEARS In JAIL.
A Vermont Liquor Sellers
Punishment.
He Is Convicted OF 724 Out
OF 5000 Indict-
menES.

HANOVER, n. H., Jan. ia man
of so was sentenced to sixty-three years
imprisonment for liquor selling, being
convicted on 723 out of 1000 indict-
ments, That sounds like a law Of some
other country than this. but it is what
has happened to G. F. Kibling, a citizen
of Norwich, VT, little hamlet just
across the river from this old college
town, the seat of Dartmouth college.
Every college graduate for the last
twenty years at least knows ''Kib. "
For decade or SO he has defed the
law and the prophets, as eXemplifed by
the august faculty Of the college, and
has supplied the ardent more Or less
surreptitiously to all the students who
chose to call on him.
lis quality has been terrible, its cost
far from moderate, yet it was liquor and
that was enough.
Time and time again has the faculty
mailed" him. Countless times has the
victim appeared in court and penitent-
ly taken an oath not to sell again. He
has even signed documents promising to
keep the students dry" which would
be posted upon the college bulletin
board for the deIectatiOn and guidance
of the boys, who on that promise were
allowed to get their meals at the hotel,
for killing was enterprising and ran
the Opera House billiard hall, boarding
house and blind bar room, all under
the same roof, to say nothing of
skating rink and other adjuncts too
numerous to be catalogued.
All this was in Hanover itself. But
not tong ago there were signs of trou-
bic. He saw a bigger storm than usual
brewing in the faculty headquarters,
stirred up mainly by Professor Emtr
son, the instructor in chemistry. He
therefore moved back across the river
into Vermont, and there set up his
goods. calling his place the Pine Tree
Inn, OF some such name.
The State of Vermont, IS is well
known, has vigorous prOhibitOrY law
on its statute books, and though it is
not always we'll enforced yet it can be.
as Mr.. Kibling found out to his grief.
The learned professors went to work
collecting evidence and to such good
effect that they procured the modest
number Of 1000 indictments against
the astonished Kibling for the illegal
sale of liquor, His son, true to his
early training. promptly turned states
evidence against him. and was brought
into court. In vain did he try his old
dodge of swearing that he would tempt
the thirsty no more; useless his peni-
tence though accompanied by tears-a
method that had always been potent
before. a 'cOmpromise" was arrang-
ed, whereby KILLING was tried on only
723 indictments, and all of these he
was found guilty and sentenced to SO
years in jail, or to pay fine of s9O00
The luckless boniface chose the former
alternative and has begun his terrible
term of imprisonment.

ABOUT CRANK y.
Unless a Man is n Crank EEe Is
ofEfttEe Use.
For THE DIsPATCH:l

For TIE DIsPATCH:l
Much ingenuity has been wasted in
deyiSing derivations for the term
crank, as used al the present day.
when its real derivation lies close at
hand, and should be obvious to any one
who understands the american, not
English, language. Every one knows
that cranky means queer, whimsical,
not;onal, Eighty, eccentric, or any other
Of dozen words used to express an
unliHeness to the usual and ordinary
ways and customs Of things or people.
Cranky" then, must mean like a
crank or 'partaking Of the nature ola
crank, and so by simple process, the
substantive is formed from the adjective
instead Of the adjective from the sub
Stamtive.
A crank, then, in the ordinary ac-
ceptation of the term, is one who acts,
or thinks, or talks in a manner at vari
ance with the common course Of human
action or thought or conversation. 1t
matters little nowadays whether the
plane in which he moves is above or
below the plane in which the mass of
humanity are moving; whether his
thoughts soar to the cloud or grOvel in
the mire; whether he talks above the
heads of his hearers or suggests to them
lower depths than they had ever con-
ceived, it is all the same; as soon as he
gets out Of their range Of mental and
intellectual vision he is dubbed a crank
and they who bestow the epithet com
fort themselves hugely with it, as if it
conclusively established their own SUI
periOrity and the consequent inferiority
of every one who disagreed with them.
1t must be remarked too, that it is
not customary to call convention or
congress to determine upon whether
this or that person is crank or not
There is nothing corresponding to au
inquisiti0n of lunacyi in the case CG d
suspected crank. but every one at )nce
resolves himself into a court oi last
ressrt. from which no appeal can pos
sibly be taken, and renders judgment
against the accused with as much GER
