THE FARMERS FOWLS,
Information Variety of Very Inter-
esting Points.

Information on a Variety of Very Inter-
esting Points.
Farmers who have made success of
poultry are the ones we look to for in
formation. Advice without experience
amounts to just nothing. Every year
farmers are looking at poultry as one
of the farm products, and care for them
the same as they Go their stock, and it
has been proven by thousands to be a
paying investment
The fowls that will keep the egg
basket filed, summer and winter, are
the fowls for the farmer. To accom-
plish this requires management 1t
matters not SO much what breed you
select as it does in Matching the chick
ems at different times through the year
If you hatch your chickens all in the
spring they will all begin to lay at once
and all stop about the same time, and
you are liable to be 4 long time without
eggs 1 find the best way is to hatch
from about the first of March {halting
during July and August until the mid
die of October. In this way there are
hens laying all the time. The coops
are kept clean; plenty of clean gravel
given daily; different kinds of grain
fed; a warm breakfast every morning,
of boiled vegetables thickened with
meal, ground cob lime in some shape
kept by them all the time: milk, either
sweet or sour, given every day; one
steady hand to care for and feed. With
this treatment we never fail to keep
the egg basket filed the year round
We seldom have any sick or droopy
hens If hen acts sick l take her
out, cut her head off and bury her in
the manure heap. l never use any
commercial stimulant l have never
known by experience what the roup,
gapes. etc, We're although l raise sew
eral hundred chickens every year, for
home and market use. besides keep
ing my flock of thorough breds for the
trade. We never buy expensive bone
meal. oyster shells nor hang a cab
bage head up where hey will have to
jump to get it l lay them down and they
devour them all in a very short time.
What is needed most in the farmers
poultry yard, is to select breed best
adapted to his surroundings and stick
to it. and he must keep lice out of his
flock and away from their nest boxes
and roosting places Many farmer
has lost his whole flock of fowls from
this cause They become infested with
lice, become poor, cease laying. and
one after another droop and die, and
he wonders what is the matter. If
the farmer wants a healthy flock of
LAYING hens he must wage war
against lice, for they pave the way to
disease of all kinds among them. -Mrs.
John Gaillard, in Ohio Farmer.

become formidable. Owing to it's size
and conspicuous coloring the Larvae are
readily seen and can be destroyed on
the few vines usually found in the
farmers garden, if they become too
numerous. They have the habit of
dropping to the ground when ap-
preached, the same habit being men
toned by DR.. Lintner in regard to Ally
pia.
If the ground underneath the vines
is free from weeds and litter they can
thus be easily destroyed Eudryas
grata is-in common with the majority
of the insect world subject to para
site attack, noticeable among which is
n tachina fly in appearance about like
a housefy.
In this locality there is but one an
nual brood, the Larvae attaining their
growth about the middle of August.
They then descend to the ground and
either enter the earth to pupate, or, if
pieces of board, wood, sticks or trellis
are in the vicinity they often gnaw into
them cavity large enough to admit
half of the body, covering the outer
half with sawdust stuck together with
4 gummy secretion.
Packard mentions this wood boring
habit as occasional, but in my expert
ence it has been more common than
the usual (Packard) method of enter
ing the ground. Especially is this true
of confined larvae, which in nearly
every instance appeared restless and
uneasy until provided with pieces of
wood in which to transform. They
remain in their snug wood and saw
dust or earthen abodes until the fol-
lowing June, when the beautiful
moths emerge to lay eggs for another
generation. Farmer

Mckinley on McKinleyism.

The defenders of McKinleyism have
presumed largely on the ignorance or
gullibility of the average American in
trying to make it appear that protec-
ton means higher wages, more employ
ment and greater prosperity for the
people of this country. But it seems
to have been left for Mr.. Mckinley
himself to advance the amazing theory
that genuine protection must bring all
blessings and no burdens. Here is his
idea as unfolded to the Minneapolis
delegates when he took the platform as
permanent chairman -
"We propose to raise our money by
taxing the products of other nations
democratic party believes in direct tax
alton, that is, In taxing ourselves; but
we do not believe in that principle so
long as we can find anybody else to
tax"
Does the author of the existing Tariff
law believe there is a bright school boy
in the country who cannot be taught
in five minutes that tariff taxes must
necessarily always fall on the American
consumer and never ON the foreign
producer or manufacturer?
Will Mr.. Mckinley entertain the pub
lie with an exposition Cf his notion OF
how we can raise revenue by taxing
foreigners without taxing ourselves ?

The Cyclone Rayaged West.

Wild work of the powers of the air is
still characteristic of this restless
summer season, says the Philadelphia
Record. Cyclones at Lower Canada
have wrought fearful destruction with
in the last few days, and the futility OF
human devices to resist the assault of
the tornado fiend has again been DEM
onstrated. 1t is evident that these fu-
rious and destructive wind-storms con-
stitute portion of the permanent con-
ditions of existence with which the
people who live in the broad prairie
sections of the Northwest and in the
regions adjacent to the great lakes
have to reckon. They are called into
existence by climatic and meteorolog-
ical conditions over which no human
control can be exercised. 1t would be
easier to chain the lightning than to
harness the cyclone. 1t remains, there
fore, for the jewellers in the territory
now recognized as the habitat of the
tornado to protect themselves as best
they may from such incursions of the
elements. Houses and blocks of build
ings, it need scarcely be said, could be
constructed in such fashion as to be
almost proof. The general
adoption in the West of such style
of architecture would save much prop
erty and many valuable lives.

"Siek and Tired of Living"

A shocking suicide, says the Farm
vile Herald, was committed at Buck
ingham G. H. on last Thursday after
noon between the hours of l and 4
o'clock. Mr. David A. Parrack, the
unfortunate victim, was born April 30,
1920, and was consequently in his sew
enty-third year of age. For nearly fifty
years he had been the efficient deputy
county and circuit courts clerk, and it
is said his superior as such could not
be found in Virginia. He was never
married and lived a life fraught with
eccentricities. He was at his work as
usual Thursday morning, and went
home about - o'clock and wrote let
ter to Mr.. J. B. Gillian in which was
said amcng other things: 81 am sick and
tired of living. When this is received
by you l will have passed into another
world You will find enclosed will of
later date in which are some material
changes from my former will"
Mr.. Parrack was worth some ten or
twelve thousand dollars, and no reason
is given for his terrible act other than
is above assigned. He shot himself
through the head and died immediate

II WAS A TERRIBLE STORM.
DEVASTATION OF THE CYCLONE.

MORE THAN FIFTY PERSONS WE'RE
KILLED OUTRIGHT AND HUNDREDS
WE'RE INJURED-THE DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY WAS INCALCULABLE-THE
VILLAGE OF ANCHOR WAS WIPED
UTTERLY OUT OF EXISTENCE.
MINNEAPoLIS, June 17.-News of the
cyclone which devasted southern
Minnesota Wednesday evening is very
hard to get. Telegraph wires are down
for miles, and the railroads which pene-
trate the stricken section are practical
ly at a standstill. All the information
Obtainable comes from isolated survi-
vors of the storm, and the facts have to
be gathered from widely separated
points.
From all the reports at hand so far
the loss of life will probably reach fifty,
and the list of the injured will run in
to the hundreds. No estimate of the
property loss can be made, and all that
can be said of it is that it will undOubt-
eddy run into seven figures. The town
of Wells, in Faribault county, seems to
have suffered most severely from the
storm. 1t is reported that fifty persons
were killed in that village alone, but
these reports are probably exaegerat-
ed. The storm is described by an eye
witness as a cloud of midnight black
ness and was a boiling, seething mass,
going in an easterly direction.
1t was in Faribault county that the
loss of life principally occurred. The
afternoon had been sultry and dense,
overhanging clouds seemed almost to
touch the ground, while not a breath
OF air stirred. Later heavy down
pour of rain set in, and at about $50
o'clock, preceded by wind from the
northwest, a huge, funne[shaped cloud
was noticed by people living west of
Wells. 1t advanced rapidly with a
loud, roaring, grinding sound, and
first touched the earth near Jackson,
two miles west of Sherbune. The Sill
verhorn schoOlhouse, four miles north
of Sherburne, was torn to pieces by
the cyclone. Miss Maggie O'Hare, the
teacher, and all the pupils, sixteen in
number, were seriously, and some six
thought to be fatally injured. Wher-
ever a building was destroyed it was
totally and utterly demolished SO that
not vestige of it is left.
Trees and telegraph poles were brok-
en- off or twisted out of shape. Wires
| along the Northwestern road were all
down during the night. At one place
where the cyclone struck eight houses
in succession were destroyed and at
Anchor the place was SO completely
| washed off the face of the earth that
no trace of it or its occupants could be
| found though search was made. The
path of the storm was strewn with ma
chinery, clothing, pieces of furniture,
| wagon wheels, ears of corn, and every

forty miles in extent, and was followed
Immediately by heavy rains. Ten men

The Minneap0lis Platform.

The Republican platform is hardly
worth discussing. 1t was apparently
written with the idea that platforms
don't count for much in political bat
ties, and, considered as whole, it is
about as cheap and brazen piece of
hypocritical humbug as was ever pro-
mulgated by convention of any kind.
The only features in it that would call
for second reading are the Force Bill,
Mckinley Act and silver planks. The
two first named have been passed upon
by the people lin the election OF 1890
with most disastrous results to the
party that embodied them in its public
policy, and they are not likely to aid
it's cause in the coming Presidential
contest. The silver plank is a ridicu-
lous ''straddle" that has already started
the free silver men and the anti-silver
wing of the party to loggerheads over
its proper Interpretation. The Phila-
delphia Public Ledger, one of the
ablest and most influential Republican
journals in the country, characterizes
this plank as "a most unwise, timid
and evasive one" With respect to the
silver question the Ledger says that it
was ''most essential that the Republi-
can party should place itself squarely
upon record concerning it" whereas
what it has done is to chang out a two
sided shield-the one, facing East and
North, of gold the other, facing South
and West, of silver"
In short, the Minneapolis platform is
q platform of cowardice, double deal
ing, hypocrisy and false pretenses, and
affords a striking illustration of the de
cadence of the Republican party

Suiclde of Mr., Tom. Ellis.

Mr.. Tom. Ellis, who lived near the
mouth of Second Creek, in Greenbrier
county, on Greenbrier river, committed
suicide on Thursday, June 8, 1892,
about noon, by hanging. He and his
son had been working about the barn,
and the young man had gone to the
house by direction ofthis father to get
some nails to fix a piece of fencing near
by. Upon his return to the barn, after
an absence of but few minutes, he
found his father with a piece of rope
around his neck, the other end tied
fast to an old chisel driven in the side
of the building about feet from the
floor. The most of the weight of his
body was hanging upon the rope, his
knees almost touching the floor. The
young man instantly cut the rope and
released his father, but life was al
ready extinct.
Mr.. Ellis had for some time been at
flicted with mental trouble, and it is
now stated, had more than once threat
ened to take his own life. But his
family were disinclined to send him to
the Insane Hospital, and hoped, by
constant care and attention, that he
might be restored at home. He was
about 48 years of age, man OF excel
lent disposition, and was sincerely es-
teemed. His family have the deepest
sympathy of their friends in this af-
fliction.-Monroe Co. Nv. Va J Watch

Hon. j. Proctor Knott on the South.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 15.-Hon.
j. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, deliv-
cred the annual literary address at
Vanderbilt University last night before
a large audience. He spoke OF the
great natural wealth of the South and
the remarkable renewal of prosperity
in this section since the war. He pro-
tested against the phrase, 1.-The New
South" and argued that the results
achieved were only natural evolution.
He spoke of the dangers from aggrega-
ton of wealth and the evil indication
of the growth of natural socialism.
He declared strongly against land loan
and sub treasury schemes, He insist
ed on the autonomy of the State and
deprecated the growth Of cOntraliza-
ton in government. He argued that
taxes and bounties should be removed
from the necessaries of life, and that
all governmental expenditures should
be on an economical basis. His ad-
dress held the attention of the audience
for more than an hour.

A New Car Coupling.

Mr.. B. NJ. Moseley, resident railroad
engineer, exhibited at the RecieaO office
on Wednesday model of very inge-
NOUS and improved link coupling,
the invention of William B. Bruce, of
Staunton, Va, in which he has become
pecuniarily interested. This invention
of Mr.. Bruce was patented on the 22nd
car-coupler, as is shown by the model
and the specification of letters-paten
is one exceedingly cheap and durable
in construction, composed of a mini
mum number of parts, is automatic in
action, and can be uncoupled from the
top or side Of a car, thereby avoiding
all danger to the person operating it,
and when uncoupled it is always in
position to automatically receive and
couple the link. 1t possesses advan-
tages that we do not remember to have
seen in any other car-coupler. and we
hope that Mr.. Moseley may find his in
vestment in the new invention a pay
ing one.-Clifton Forge ReoieaO.
