Proper Way to Sit.

Ladies Home Journal.
Therefore, sit as far back as posi-
BILE in the chair SO that the lower end
OF the spine shall be braced against
the back of the seat. If this back is
straight the shoulders will also rest
against II; if not, they will have no
point of support, and 1t will be found
that they do not need it. This posi-
tion makes no strain upon the liga.
ments of the spine. 1t allows q pro-
per position of the shoulders, conse-
qnently of the chest, consequently OF
the lungs, stomach and every other
organ of the body.
Their work is carried on naturally
and comfortably, as Is also the circu-
lation of the blood; which in q wrong
sitting position Is seriously interfer-
ed with. With the feet resting
squarely upon the floor, the hands
resting easily upon the lap, perfect
equilibrium, and consequently per
feet rest of the body, is secured.
There is no strain upon any part of
the body; no muscle or organ Is re
quired to do more than it's legitimate
amount of work. The arms should
never be folded; for this position not
only causes strain upon the spine,
and all the other evils already refer
red to, but, in addition, places the
weight of the arms upon the stomach
and the diaphragm, thereby increas-
ing the labor of digestion and respi.
ration. Placing the hands behind the
back, or folding the arms behind the
back, IL possible, is good attitude to
take occasionally, giving, as 1t does
the fullest expension to the whole
upper part of the body.

CHAPTER II.

Under the hot skies of that memorable
month of June, 1776, New York was one
of the most stirring places on the West
ern continent. The erection Of an in
dependent empire on this side of the
Atlantic ocean was the all-absorbing
topic of thought and speech. War and
bloodshed were OH the wing. Men were
working day and night OH the fnrtifica-
tiOnS. For many weeks New York had
been in a state of agoniZed alarm.
Families were making their escape as
best they could, taking little. or much
with them as the circumstances per-
mitted. The rich knew not where to 60
for safety, and the poor, thrown upon
the charity of interior towns. suffered
from complication of ills. Hundreds
of men were suddenly deprived of the
means of supporting their families. In
habitants as well as soldiers were SUBJ
jected to strict military discipline.
Washington had reached New York
on the 18th of the previous April, and
was in almost hourly consultation with
the principal men of the New York
congress, several OF whom were ap-
pointed to military Office. Troops were
marching into the city from all points
of the compass in variegated costumes
that must have seemed grotesque in
deed to the English soldiery. The old
red coats worn in the French wars had
been brought from the garrets and
brushed up for use by the Connecticut
men. Thus every now and then was
seen dingy regimental of scarlet with
triangular and much furnished laced
hat among the tOw-frocked volunteers.
Some of the Marylanders wore green
| hunting shirts, with leggins to match.
Troops from Delaware came in dark
| blue coats with red facings. Some of the
Jersey rifiemen were in short red coats

CHAPTER l.
"ISn't that boat. that Speck upon
the river near the other shoreT
The questioner, pale, blue-eyad
young man of perhaps twenty-five, bore
the marks of rough experiences. One
eye was closed, and one side of his face
swollen and discolored. His clothing
was in disorder, and his left arm badly
sprained. He was reclining on the damp
earth at the mouth of shallow cave Oh
the shore of the Hudson, near what is
now the western terminus of Christie
pher street. 1t was in the for enoon Of
a sultry day in the month of June, 1776.
In striking contrast TO the limp figure
of the bruised and battered Harry Ship
ton was the self-poised, faultlesSly at
tired, gentlemanly looking man of some
thirty or more years, who stood before
him. He was in citizens dress, but OF
unmstakable military bearing, tall.

and features of unusual manly beauty.
He looked towards the objected indi-

Soldier Elisha Balls Will.

Daily Kennebec Journal.
An odd will was flied at the probate
Office in Auburn on Tuesday. 1t was
that of Elisha Ball, Of Minot. and was
dated in 1867, but the matter of the will
had outllved all the witnesses to it. and
had to be proved from the handwriting
of the man who drew it. 1t was the
first case on record of the kind.
The maker. Elisha Ball. was. an old citi-
zen of Minot, and served in the late war.
On one occasion he was severely
wounded in battle, and when the men
were gathering up the wounded they
came along to him, examined him, and
were going to pass him by. Take me
along" he said. You can't live" was
the reply. 81 can and WILL" he said,
and SO earnest was he that the men
picked him up. That was twenty-eight
years ago, and Elisha lived not only to
to make his will, but to survive all the
witnesses of it and that document, too,
quarter of century. Not a change
had been in the paper from the day it
was DIR avn.

Helpful Hints.

Dry fresh wood ashes sifted over cab
bages, radishes, potato vines, etc.. will
drive off feas, beetles, slugs, etc.
Be sure to set the young plants in
fresh, loose soil, and do not forget to
firm the earth close about the plants.
Whenever this is practicable do your
transplanting after sunset and just be-
fore a rain. Remember that short,
stocky plants make the most vigorous
growth.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.
It's Relations to Agriculture and to tho
Agriculturist Considered.

Agriculturist Considered.
Director A. G.. Gilbert, of the Ottawa
(Ont.) station, in paper considering
poultry in it's relations to agriculture,
said that its Importance is learned only
through figures. Take the list of eggs
and poultry exported from Canada IN
the year ending June 30, 1889, we find
the amount 81, ,274, ,211, less only in value,
In the whole list, than lumber, cattle,
fish, barley, coal and cheese, but greater
than other articles exported. It may be
considered singular, but it is true, that
the value of the eggs and poultry ex-
ported in that same year, 1889, exceeded
that of any single branch of manufac-
tured articles, and was more than half
the amount of the total value of all
manufactured articles exported. In the
following year ending June 80, 1890, we
find the value OF the eggs and poultry
exported to the United States stands
third on the list, representing 81 ,842, 424,
as compared with 81 1897 1896 for horses
and 81 ,5s2, ,562 for barley, and in all fair
ness it must be remembered that tho
eggs and poultry figures represent an
undeveloped industry. Immense guam
titles of eggs and poultry are consumed
by cities. Take, for instance, Philadel-
phia, with million people daily con-
Stunning 525, ,52S eggs. In one year the
population consumed $1,000 barrels and
81, 800 boxes of poultry, and the hens
that were spared the hatchet had to lay
1884, 900 dozens of eggs. In treating
the subject of poultry in its relation to
the agriculturist, he says: It occupies
the position of an undeveloped mine Of
wealth. For the capital invested there
is nothing about the farm that, with a
proper management, will return 30 great
profit. 1t is the only department OF
the farm that will utilize what might
be waste and give in return for it: 1.
The egg, representing cash at all times.
Q. The young, which are revenue pro-
ducers in three to five months. 8. The
valuable manure. 4. The body of the
hen, which will bring a fair price after
laying large number Of eggs. 80.
1t seems to make no difference with
poultry whether they are housed be-
meath the slate roof of pretentious
building or in deserted pigpan SO
long as they arc kept dry, fairly warm
and we'll attended. The farmer in
quires, What percentage of profit may l
expect? In answer quote from Stod-
dard, author of twenty-five works on
poultry. He says: "One dollar per hen
profit where large focks are kept is a
very good profit; that is about 100 per
cent. on the investment. In smaller
fiocks two and even three dollars per
hen is realized. But such prices are the
exception and not the rule
You tell farmer that there is money
in poultry and he replies, "There may
be, but it takes lot of knowledge and
work to get it out of them" 1t takes
intelligence and trouble to look after
any department on the farm. TIE man
who invents business that will make
money for him while he sits down and
looks at it will be the richest man the
world has ever produced
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1892-09-23


For the northern and central states
the agricultural editor of the New York
World says that Kentucky bluegrass,
orchard grass and redtop are three ex-
cellent varieties. Orchard grass, as its
name indicates, is well adapted to deep
ly shaded lands, and when closely fed
yields a large amount of tender and sue
culent heritage. From its habit of grow
ing in stools it should be sown thickly
or mixed with some other variety. Ken
lucky bluegrass, for warm and dry cal
careous soils, cannot be excelled by any
other pasture grass. It fourishes and
maintains it's freshness until late in the
season, and when not too closely pastur-
ed will be eagerly sought by cattle after
light SHOWS have fallen upon it. Red
top is peculiarly well adapted to rather
low and moist situations, and under
favorable circumstances yields largely a
fine grass well relished by cattle. A
mixture of the three will often be bet
ter than single sowings. Of the numer-
GUS varieties of grasses to be found in
this country comparatively few Of the
number are in general cultivation.
Among the ones best known and highly
esteemed are those above mentioned.
Timothy, the leading hay grass, to-
gether with some other varieties and
the clovers, make good additions to
pasture grass mixtures. In the south
Bermuda grass, once deprecated by many
planters on account of its great staying
qualities, Is becoming more and more
highly esteemed as a pasture and hay
grass. AS protection to the levees
along the banks of the Mississippi 1t has
long been invaluable. No grass is
known that equals it in producing sod
that will resist the action Of running
| water and dashing waves.
