A Tremendous Eater.

johnson City, Tenn, has the cham
pion eater of the country. This is one
Clay Morris, whilom blacksmith, who
is said by competent witnesses to have
recently eaten at sitting four loaves OF
bread, three chickens. three pounds of
ham, FIVE good sized yam potatoes and
five cucumbers, with quart Of gravy
with the bread and pint and half of
beer with which to wash the whole
down. The occasion of this meal was a
wager between himself and his brother.
Job Morris. who himself ate two and a
half loaves, two chickens, three pounds
of ham and four potatoes, but retired
from the contest in seeing his relatives
appetite apparently undiminished.
The winner declared the meal nothing
unusual with him, and indeed seemed to
suffer no inconvenience from his gor-
mandizing, but enjoyed unbroken slum-
Der for nearly fifteen hours after. He
says his enormous appetite has been of
gradual growth and is rather proud of it.
though he is wholly untitled for any
work by it and spends the greater part
of his time lying down or sleeping.
At one time, however, Morris was con-
sidered good workman and the strong
est man in tho county. Strange to say
he is not fat in proportion to his height.
which is something over six feet, and
weighs only 100 pounds, but he claims
not to have known spell Of indigestion

is for the period extending from the fifth
to the tenth year. After that the figures

the period over thirty and under forty

The king of Dahomey, upon whom
the French are going to make war, is
differently described as fetish wor-
shipper or as Christian. In his fathers
time French Catholic missionaries went
to Dahomey and persuaded the king to
remove and destroy a number of his
fetishes. The missionaries, thinking
their labors ended, were about to de-
part Then the king was disappointed
and spoke to them: 81 have listened to
your speeches and demolished my fe-
fishes. You have offered me nothing in
return. Before you leave, now insist
chat you show me your own God to set
up his image in the place of my lost
fetishes." What should they do? They
saw the uselessness of trying to make
of the king true convert to their
faith in an invisible God, and their per-
sonal safety required that they should
satisfy his demand. So they sent him
statues of the twelve apostles, which
are now figuring among the other fe-
fishes Of the kings museum Of abnormi-
ties and indccencies making up his cir
Gle of divinities. OF such kind is the
Christianity of a king of Dahomey.-

TWENTY GOOD RULES.
How to Destroy Lice on Chicks and Rid
the Poultry House of Them.

the Poultry House of Them.
L When chicks droop and appear
sick without cause, especially in sum-
mer, look for lice mot the little red
mites but the large, gray body lice) on
the heads and necLs.
2. If you find them use few drops
Of grease of any kind. A teaspoonful
of oil of pennyroyal to cupful of lard
is excellent.
8. Look under the wings for the red
lice, but use only a few drops of the
lard.
4. Never grease the bodies of the
chicks unless lightly, as grease will
often kill them.
5. Never use kerosene on chicks, un-
less it be teaspoonful of kerosene to
a teacupful of lard, as it is irritating.
8. Crude petroleum is always excel
lent, and serves as liniment but mix
it with twice its quantity of lard.
Z. Keep the dust bath always ready.
Use dry dirt or sifted coal ashes. Add
carbonate of lime, Persian insect pow
der or oil Of pennyroyal to the dirt.
s. To rid the house of lice, sprinkle
coal-oil everywhere-f1oor,w walls, roosts,
yards, roof, inside and outside and re-
peat often.
9. Dust insect powder in the feathers,
and be sure it is fresh and good.
10. Put insect powder and tobacco
dust in the nests. Clean them out every
week.
IL. Even when no lice may be pres
ent, use the sprinkler of kerosene at
least once a week; and keep the roost
always saturated.
10. No matter how clean things may
appear, look for the large lice on the
heads, throats and vents
10. Lice abound both in winter and
summer, but more especially in sum
mer.
IA. One-half the chicks and young
turkeys die from lice. Chicks or tur-
keys with hens, or turkey hens, always
have lice (either the mites or large
ones).
10. Carbolate of lime is the cheapest
powder to use for busting over the floor
and walls.
16. Always aim to get the solutions or
powders into the cracks and crevices.
II. The easiest and best way to
whitewash is with force-pump. They
are now made to force water from a
bucket
is. When your chicks have bowel dis
ease, look for the big lice.
10. No mites need be present where
plenty of coal-oil and carbolic acid are
used.
20. Lice means work. Repeat these
precautions and remedies frequently

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EXCLUSIVE corn feeding often causes
leg weakness with young poultry.
OIL on machinery not only preserves
the parts and lessons the wear and loss
but it also permits of better and more
work done with reduced power.
FLOWERS can be grown on all kinds of
soil, and every farmhouse should be or
namented with flowers of some kind
of different varieties and including all
colors.
If eggs are TO be kept long time
after they are laid it is best to put them
in a cool place and as near the freezing
point as possible without freezing them.
This viii prevent any progress toward
incubation.
Do NOT depend on .the pasture pro-
viding a full supply of food for the
steers and young stock. All kinds of
stock should have a mess of oats at
night, while mich cows should be fed
both morning and night.
THE wrinkled peas should always be
selected in place of those that are
full and round, as they are sweeter and
more melting when cooked. Plant peas
at intervals Of two weeks in order L.
have them in succession.
IT will be loss Of seed to plant ten
der varieties too early. Such crops as
string beans, squash, cucum bers and
lima beans will not grow until the
ground mas become well warmed so as
TO insure quick termination.
