To Transfer Sitting Hens.


1t is often desirable to move hens from
their own chosen nests to place more
convenient for their owner. In such cas-
es, according 10 the Poultry World, this
should be done at night, and the new
nest should be well made and well filed
with eggs. 1t is also important that il
should Oe dark, and so arranged that a
cover may be placed over it to sLut off
the hens view of the surroundings I'M
til she has become fairly fixed in. her
new quarters and the old nest forgotten.
Such transfers are advisable, since il is
best TO have house devoted exclusively
to sitters, where they will no be annoyed
by the layers and where they can be
properly cared for. Besides, it is often
desirable to have chicks hatched at a sea-
son when your own hens are not broody.
If you are not so fortunate as TO have an
incubator, you must buy sitting hens of
your neighbors. BY observing the above
hints they can easily be moved and set
to work in your own fowl house.

A Penalty.


The Supreme Court Of the United
States has just officially promulgated its
decision in the case Of John O'Neil, Of
New York, who was condemned to i'm
prisonment for fifty-four years under the
accumulated penalties imposed by
court in Vermont Take it all in all,
this is one Of the most remarkable judg
ments ever pronounced by a judicial
tribunal Of this country. John 0'Neil,
it will be remembered, was q wholesale
and retail dealer in liquors at Whitehall,
New York. In the course of his busi-
ness he received many orders for liquors
from Rutland, Vt, TO be sent by express.
O'Neil delivered the packages in White
hall to the express company, with a bill
marked &C o. d., and the money was
paid to the messenger in Rutland.
In 1882 O'Neil, who had stepped over
the line into Vermont, was prosecuted in
court Of that State for violating IFS Ii
quor laws. He received 457 separate
sentences for as many violations of the
law, the accumulated penalties amount
ing to ffty-four years of imprisonment.
The proceedings were affirmed by the
Supreme Court of Vermont, and have
now been finally affirmed by the Su-
preme Court of the United States. In its
opinion the Federal Supreme Court held
that the liquors were sold by O'Neil at
Rutland, not at Whitehall, and that his
acts were completely within the jurisdic-
ton of Vermont The case was dis
missed by the court on the ground,
therefore, that it involved no Federal
question.

1t is a Soldiers Ticket.

In speaking of the Republican candi-
dates. Colonel W. r. Holloway, Governor
Morton's private secretary during the
war, said:
q do not believe that the people gem
orally know that the Republican ticket
is a soldiers ticket all the way through.
While Whitelaw Reid is known only as
a war correspondent, he was really in the
service. When the order was issued by
Halieck excluding the newspaper cores
pondents from The headquarters Of the
commanders Whitelaw Reid telegraphed
to Governor Morton for a commission.
AT my request Governor Morton sent
him commission, and he was attached
to the staff Of General Lew Wallace. As
a member Of the staff Of General Wallace
he witnessed both days battle at Shiloh,
and was the only correspondent who did.
His account OF that famous battle was
the only reliable one that was sent out.
Other correspondents sent meaere &C.
counts, but Mr.. Reid's was so much the
best that all the papers reprinted it. Mr..
Reid remained in the service all through
that memorable campaign.

Uncle Jerry Rusk Scores.

The Agricultural Department lately
sent out circular advising corn growers
10 pull the tassels off their corn, because
much of the strength of the plant went
into the tassel, and by removing this the
yield Of grain would be increased, says a
Missouri farmer in the st. Louis GioJe-
Democrat. I have tried it on about ten
acres, and though it is yet too early to
state the result with exactness, the indi-
cations are that 1 will have about twice
as much corn on that patch than on any
other similar acre of ground on my farm,
The ears are far more numerous, and als
ready considerably larger than those of
plants the tassels OF which have been al
lowed TO remain, and for one 1 think
Uncle Jerry Rusk has made known a

A Mad Dogs Bite.

9Th girl had been bitten by a mad
dog" said the business woman, "and had
neglected to have it cauterized, although
it was much inhamed and the marks of
the animals teeth showed plainly. Her
grandmother tried the old-fashioned
remedies; they put milk pOultices and
things on it, and the girl came to the Of
fee regularly and went on with her
work.
Z" One day, about two weeks after the
accident, she came to my desk. Her eyes
were glittering with fever, her face burn
ing, and her features seemed swollen.
She threw herself against me with a cry
Of despair.
I'm sick" she gasded. Unjust give
up. I'm burning up with fever and my
throat-I-I-can't swallow"
q looked at her and my heart stood
still. She read my thought. 4 know
she said, 4 know, but help me TO be
calm until I get home. I am holding
myself together by 4 supreme effort.
Helpme and don't be frightened. I've
felt this coming on for three days"
The hand she laid on my shoulder
trembled visibly; she spoke with an ef-
fort"

cab, wrapped her up, put her in, and fol-
lowed. 1t wasa long ride up town, and
she huddled together over in the corner
as if she could not endure to be touched.
/ tried 10 talk little and TO treat the
matter lightly, but 1 assure you that this
ride was the most terrible experience of
my life. Every moment expected that
she would fssten her teeth in me-"
"We reached her home, she was put
to bed, and a lot of doctors were sum
moned.
She had (and recovered from. not
hydrophobia, but severe case Of diph-
theria"
There was an audible silence and then
a general sigh Of relief-N \. World.

A Bit of Gold.


Frontier highwaymen would have had
a hard time wrestling with bit Of gold
which arrived here by Wells. Fargo &
Cos Express few days ago It came
from the celebrated Harqua Hala mine
and was consigned to J. Hubbard and J.
B. Bowers, the owners OF that property,
for coming at the United States Mint
When the employees at the Mint took a
look at it it was the biggest.lump of gold
they had the unhappiness to come in
contact with, seeing that it was in one
respect like many Others, being not their
own.
It was a somewhat cunieal shape and
seemed to have been emptied out of gi-
gantic Stag pot. 1t did not belle its looks
for that was the way it had been shaped
Il was the product OF forty-five days run
atthe Harqua Hala and the tremendous
bulk weighed S57l pounds avoirdupois
and was stated to be of the value of
$4,000.
AAtC VI ALN
owners of the nugget telegraphed from
point TO point as they progressed with it
from the mine, sixty miles southwest Of
Phoenix, and announced when it should
arrive at the next station. This was in
order to forstall any ambitious men with
guns, for though aspiring highwaymen
were thus kept exactly posted as TO
when the gold might be expected, it also
posted the people in each town.
The nugget was too big for any party
Of bandits to carry it off intact and Sc
crete and had they stopped the caravan
on the way to the railroad they would
have only had time to ehisel off thous-
and dollars or so till the pack Of blood
hounds which the prison officials keep
at Phoenix would have been on their
trail. Nobody rnolested it, therefore, and
ii reached here safely. The ponderous
yellow cone has attracted much atten-

Gapes in Chickens.


A World correspondent writes: i
have never met a poultry keeper yet who
was not interested in gapes aud couldn't
name a new remedy for them. There are
Of course several approved methods Of
combating this trouble That these still
continue to be recommended is pretty
good evidence that, in some cases at lesst,
they prove effective. As gapes will be to
the fore now and for some time to come
among the young chickens, / will men
ton few of these remedies.
zone authority says; If cases occur. at
once put fluid carbolate, camphor or lime
in the water. If there are many cases
place the chickens in a cold pit garden
frame) and fumigate with vapor Of car
bolie acid till they are nearly suficcaied
BIZ the fumes. Care must be taken 10 lib
crate the chicks at the right moment or
death Will ensue, but if this is well done
it is an effectual cure.
.Stoddard says that camphor has been
used with success given in the form ofla
pea, and that alum and sulphur in the
form of fine powder blown down
the throat viii destroy the worms. Lime
in the air viii also effect the purpose, and
may be applied by putting the chickens
into box covered with fine muslin and
sitting fine lime through this, but not so
fast as to smother the chickens
Another remedy is spirits of turpen-
tine, few drops at a time. BY some
persons a diet of crushed corn, soaked in
alum water or kerosene, is considered
good This last remedy does not appear
at all reasonable me. Gapes are caus-
Ell, as every poultry keeper is likely TO
learn some time in the course of his ex-
perience, by small red worms in the
windpipe, which obstruct the passage, so
that finally the chick chokes and dies.
To remove the cause is to remove the dis
ease, and the chicken, Il not too much
weakened, will recover.
"For few chickens, 1 think the festh-
er treatment ought undoubtedly TO be
called the best and snrest cure. This con-
sis,s in stripping the feather from quill
five or six inches long to within about an
inch Of the top, then double this portion
over. Wet this with turpentine little
diluted with water, or with mixture Of
twenty drops carbolic acid to one ounce
glycerine. Puch the feather down gent
ly through the valve OF the windpipe as
far as it will 60; then draw it up, at the
same time twisting it quickly around. If
you have performed the operation dex-
terously, the worms, or a part of them
viii come up with the feather. 1t may
be necessary ID repeat the process in
order to get the worms all out. OfcOurse
this remedy is somewhat severe on the
chicken, if not skiilfully and gently done,
and it cannot be applied to large lOeks
because it requires to much time. There
is, 1 believe, and absolute pre-
ventiye for this trouble, viz, keep the
chickens on dry ground and keep the
yard and houses clean. Wet and filth
are the greatest enemies of the poultry
yard"
