Mr.. Legetmeir, the well known Eng
ish authority, says concerning the keep
ing Of fowls in small runs by suburban
residents: '-These attempts are usually
successful IN the first instance, the fowls
when bought being young, healthy and
vigorous, but if kept on the same ground
for any length Of time it becomes taint-
ed, and the laying falls off very con
siderably. By adopting more rational
system, even in an area Of somewhat
limited size, few fowls can be kept for
egg production with success. This is to
be accomplished by securing d success
sion Of new pullets; by careful feeding,
with the elimination of all fat house
scraps; the abundance of green food, with
a constant renewal Of fresh earth and of
means to be adopted whereby the fowls
should not pick their food from the
tainted ground. The rearing Of chickens
in confined runs IS undesirable, and tho
employment Of a chanicleer to disturb
the neighbors during the early morning
is mere useless addition and not az
tended with an increased production Of
eggs"

The evils Of meat diet are being ap-
preciated BY many high hvers in cities,
and these are being counteracted partly
by the wealthy in adding more fruits
and vegetables to their tables during
the winter. The rheapness Of meat and
peculiar craving which the system
seems to have for meat have gradually
made it common for city people to live
almost entirely OF meat III the winter
months. Meat is eaten three times a
day in quantities, and the excessive use
Of such a diet is that rheumatic and

Dead is Lcsbia's sparrow!

As did Lcsbia herself
Know her good old mother;
Grateful to the doting maid,
From whose reach it seldom strayed,
1t was wont to serenade
Lesbia, and none other.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-07-30

DEMOCRATIC extremists in Con-
gress are exhibiting startling and
radical changes of opinion upon the
doctrine of States rights. Until
that political heresy received its
quietus at Appomatox, the slightest
attempt by the General Government
to interfere with private affairs,
plunged the leaders OF that party
into spasms of indignation.
From Jefferson to Jeff Davis they
fairly howled with rage at every
Federal attempt to regulate local
affairs, no matter how just the regu-
lations were. The States must
regulate their own affairs, they in
sisted; the counties control theirs
and the townships and towns be
masters in their separate fields. But
all this las now been completely
changed by apparent agreement
among the leaders of the dominant
faction.

BERGMAN'S DASTARDLY
CRIME,

The murderous attack of the An
archist Bergman upon Mr.. H. c.
Prick at Pittsburg on Saturday last,
although not proposed or directly
inspired by the leaders of the law
lessness at Homestead, is neverthe-
less the natural and inevitable out
come of the spirit of violence and
lawlessness prevalent there.
Some of the strikers at Homestead
profess to regard the crime with
horror, as we'll they may; for while
they may be absolved from the sus-
picion of having instigated it, they
are not free from responsibility for
the conditions which produced it.
Lawlessness is the prolific parent OF
lawlessness. and no man can measure
the consequence which will flow from
such contempt and defiance of law
as Homestead has witnessed for the
past four weeks. Violence, intimida.
ton and murder have been its
weapons in maintaining a foolish
cause, and it is not to be wondered
that such a fermentation of lawless-
ness would lead to that most detest-
able of all crimes-private assassina.
ton.
If there be any manliness, any
good American pride left in the men
at Homestead, they ought to bow
their heads in shame over the latest
fruit of their miserable conduct.
They may call Bergman a vile alien
they may even denounce him for
having injured their cause in public
estimation, but there is now only
one way in which they can prove
their sincerity, and that is to abandon
cause which has done nothing but
breed wickedness and folly. They
are now, as they have been lever
since the 5th of July, when they
refused the Sheriff of Allegheny
admission to the Homestead works,
IN the position OF public enemies.
They are practically Anarchists in
their resistance TO society and the
law, and as such they have forfeited
all tolerance and respect. They
have as much right to sympathy in
their course of lawlessness as a gang
of pirates on the high seas or band
of hlghwaymen on the plains.
There will. of course, be no diff
Guilty in Furnishing Bergman to the
full extent of the law, and the punish
ment should come promptly. The
blood Of every honest and intelligent
American boils with Indignation over
the condition of affairs which these
men have produced, eliminating as
it has in the abominable wickedness
OF those mad dogs of modern society
the Anarchists. The day for
compromise or concession has gone
past in dealing with the law breakers
at Homestead. The have made
themselves virtually outlaws, and
there should henceforth be more
vigorous determination than ever to
assert and enforce the majesty OF the
law until every vestige of their law

crvshed out
