Rather than be subjected to the re-

throw aside all kenny and matted

THE POULTRY YARD.

Fresh eggs sell readily throughout
the year.
SELL spring chickens as soon as they
arc large enough.
YouS6 goslings and ducks require
about the same management.
EGas for market should never be
washed when il can be avoided.
PIcK the geese regularly The feath-
ers are the principal source of profit
YoUNG turkeys must be fed sparing-
ly at first, and care must be taken that
the feed is fresh.
lr is not profitable plan to allow a
hen to stroll around six or seven weeks
with four or five chickens.
GuINEAs are noisy, but their noise
often helps to frighten away many OF
the enemies of the poultry yard.
Ducks can be picked much oftener
than geese because their feathers ripen
faster, but they are not quite 30 valu-
able.
The Size OF the hen aud the season
should largely determine the number
of eggs that should be put under each
hen when setting them.
AS THE weather gets warmer more
care is necessary to supply good venti-
lation. Lattice or screen doors or win
dows can often be used 10 II good ad-

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

GEORGE A. SMITH, speaking at re-
cent New York institute, said the cow
should not be salted periodically-once
or twice a week-but be given free ac-
cess to it at all times.
SoUAsHEs are good feed for milch
cows. They produce rich milk and are
found from experience preferable to
pumpkins. They are first-rate food
also for fattening hogs.
A FEW crab-apples of the best sort
should have place in every orchard, or
they may be planted about the home
grounds, as they are quite ornamental
for good portion of the year.
Hoes are cleaner than cows when
they have chance to be clean. The
rcputation the hog has obtained is not
& erved. Even his appetite is no
worse than that of fowls and his habits
quite as exemplary. Give the hog n
chance.
AS A covering for hot-beds, i'm place
of glass, muslin may be used, provided
it is made waterproof. To do this dip
the muslin in linseed oil before stretch
ing it ON the frame, and then give it n

II has been discovered that potatoes
can be prevented from sprouting by
immersing them for ten hours in n solu-
tion Of one part sulphuric acid in fifty
parts water, in wooden tank, without
injury TO the potatoes. A trial of the
process with few potatoes win not
cost over five cents.
SOME men set tree as they would II
fence post, but such will never make
good fruit-growers. The hole for the
tree should be made wide and deep, and
the bottom filed with good, rich earth.
Then set the tree firmly and put good

material about the tree and the stake.

An Effort 10 Balance Accounts.

The Warren bank cases from Null
yane were set for trial last Saturday.
The defendant, W. R. Warren, and a
number of witnesses had arrived in
town and it only lacked a few minutes
of the time for court to be called when
the anticipated hearing was brought to
a sudden termination. Warren was
attacked on the street by John Timm,
who fired one shot at him which took
effect in the back. Before Timm could
lire another shot Warren had him coy-
cred with his revolver and compelled
him to point his weapon to the ground,
until pasSers-by came to the rescue.
W. 5. Nelson and R. L. Davidson re-
lieved the unpleasant situation and
Timm was escorted to jail, while War
rem was taken to as urgeon's Office.
The wound was examined and IL was
found that the ball had not penetrated
but about half inch, or at least no
trace could be found deeper. The ball
seems to have struck him while in a
s'de-wise position and came near miss
ing him. Warren left for Emporia on
the evening train.
Timm was released from jail in Jan.
uary where he had been placed last
July on peace warrant, sworn out by
Warren, having made threats on his
life. At the time of the bank failure
he had something over $1,000 deposited
there which he had saved up from his
monthly wages and deposited there
only about two hours before the
bank failed. He has a running
sore on his leg and is unable to work.
Brooding over his misfortunes made
him revengeful, hence, no doubt, the
attempted murder.
