AMONG THE POULTRY.

THERE is no breed that lays eggs of
uniform color.
THE game fowl is the choicest of all
breeds for the table.
FROM now until spring give the first
meal as early as possible.
USING clean sand is good way of
keeping the quarters clean.
IT will cost an average of l cent q
week to keep chiok until it is 1O'weeks
old.
A SMALL hen will lay fully as large
eggs as large one and at the same
time will require less room.
WHEN eggs alone are wished there is
no necessity for keeping roosters; the
hens will lay fully as well without
them.
1T is often the case on the farm at this
time, when stock is being fattened for
market, that the hens will get too fat
to lay.
WHEN the poultry is TO he sent to
market dressed there is no advantage
in feeding for at least IL hours before
killing.
THE nearer eggs for Matching are
kept to temperature of 40 degrees the
better; extremes either way should be
avoided. as.h
SOMEONE says that coal tar placed in
the drinking water is sure. cure for
running nostrils, that so often afIlict
poultry at this season.
CHICKENS that have not grown to a
fair size by this time often get stunted
as soon as cold weather approaches;
snch need good attention.
To BE certain of n good supply OF
eggs in winter tho pullets should be at
least . or 10 months old and then be
we'll fed and comfortably sheltered.
THE next two months is the usual
time for marketing the turkeys. II
they are of the best quality always
dress them; If not send them alive.
IT is always considered by good
breeders that the last eggs OF hens
clutch are not nearly so fertile as the
| first, nor are the chickens so strong and
| healthy.
SoAIE fowls seem naturally disposed
| to contagious diseases, and while with
good care they may be kept up they
should never be used for breeding. st.

THROUGH LEADEN HAIL.
a Brave Engineer Who saved Load OF
Uuion Soldiers.

Brave Engineer Who saved n Load OF
Uuion Soldiers.
Many of the heroic deeds of the civil
war that have passed into history like
the stone covering the bones of thou
sands OF the union dead at Arlington,
are monuments to the unknown" 1t
was when Gen. j. L. Il. Stuart, COM
manding the cavalry of Gen. Lees
army, struck Tunstall station, on the
York river line, on June 13, 1862, that
an engineer, whose name has not been
preserved with the record of his daring
deed, proved himself to be of such stuff
as heroes are made.
Gen. Stuart conceived the idea of
fanliing the right wing of the federal
army. In carrying out this plan he
completely encircled the army of Gen.
Mcclellan. On the afternoon of June
IL he left camp, ostensibly to go to
Northern Virginia, but really on his
| flanlling movement. The next day he
descended upon Tunstalrs station and
cut the telegraph wire in order to in
terrupt federal communication. While
this was in progress small body OF
| federal cavalry appeared, but perceiv-
ing the approach of the main confedef-
ate force, retreated. The confederates
charged the station and captured COM
pauy OF infantry. They then felled
trees and placed them on the track with
other distractions.
This was scarcely done when train
came laundering down from the direc-
ton OF Richmond, loaded with union
troops. Then it was that the engineer
proved himself the possessor of cool
head and stout heart. Seeing the OBJ
structions on the track and large
force of confederate cavalry he sus-
pected danger, and, disregarding the
flying bullets that whistled about his
head, he put on a full head of steam.
The engine struck the distractions,
knocked them out of the way and
passed on without accident, thus saving
from capture and consignment to rebel
prisons trainload of union soldiers
The confederates threw hot fire into
the passing train, killing and wounding
q number of the troops.-Washington

Winter Quarters for Swine.

The farmer who looks after the COM
fort of his stock should now direct his
attention to the winter quarters for his
swine. AS rule, no class of live stock
have so little attention given to their
surroundings, and no other stock on
the farm shows a greater appreciation
of comfortable quarters. Any place or
anything is good enough for the hogs,
is the prevailing idea among farmers.
Hogs are invariably kept for the profit
there is in them. The money returns
are what a farmer sees when he buys
or breeds swine. This being true there
are two incentives for making the pig
pens and feed-lots ns convenient and
pleasant as possible. First for the
better returns for the amount of feed.
Second, for the comfort of the hogs and
the pleasure there is in knowing that
your stock is being treated hnmanely.
A little planning now and a few houra'
work may be of much value TO you
during the coming winter. National

Al
trees were planted too closely, being
only ten feet apart; while one rod
would have been better, that being
near enough for the fence, and the
large distance would insure greater
longevity and productiveness to the

purpose should be chosen from among
the most hardy no less than for the
value of its fruit, and those of medium

preferable from its dwarf habit, only
it is not hardy and is comparatively
short-lived. 1t is usually advisable not
to build over forty rods of this fence at
a stretch, and it may happen, where the
ground is uneven, that half that dis

fence of nearly eighty rods, being on
nearly level ground, was all put up in
one stretch of the wires, the shorten

woMAN's UNDERWEAR.
Garments That Are Both Dainty and
Comfortable.


just what sort of underwear to as
sumo is one question that troubles the
average woman very much. She doesn't
want to wear SO much that it will be
bulky, and she doesn't want to wear
too little for fear she will catch cold.
She tries first one and then another
shaped garment; and the wise woman
is she who, having at last hit upon that
which is most comfortable, makes 1t
most dainty and assumes 1t for good.
Very little linen is used nowadays for
ones lingerie, the preference being
given to cambria, victoria lawn, nain-
/ sock or percale. The last is noted with
tiny dots or wee flowers in pink, blue
or lavender upon the white ground.
Then when the garment is finished the
edges have a triple scallop, or a sharp
| point embroidered in cotton of the same
color as the figure. This material, with
its simple finish, is liked for saclz-shaped
chemises, for night-dresses and for
drawers; it is seldom, if ever, used for
! skirts. The fancy for silk night-dresses
| still exists, but as there always have
been women who would wear nothing
but the clear white lawn or nainsook,
and as these women are many, the
makers of underwear arc specially CO.
tering to them. Very much more fine
work, that is, handworls, can be put
upon nainsook gown than upon q silk
one, and the needle-woman can make
more fine tucks, fancy stitches, gather
ings hemstitching and drawing of
threads than ever would seem possible.
1t is for such work as this tn the
fine needles, the web-lihe threads and
all the dainty needle-basket adjuncts
are used. Embroidery cottons are used
to form the cipher or monogram that
marks who the owner of the garment
is, for nowadays my lady does not let
indelible ink touch her belongings, but
instead her favorite way of writing her
initials is wrought out in firm stitches
and small letters.-Mrs. Mallon, in

llNCOLN'S DEATH,
How the News Was Received by an Amori-
can Ship In Mid-Ocenn.

Early one morning the mate was
startled by the cry from aloft: BLACK
smoke ahead sir! A big steamer stand
ing to the southwark"
The captain was called, and in a
thrice bounced on deck, where applying
the glass to his eye, he took . long
look ut the stranger who had pushed so
suddenly out of the early mist hanging
low upon the horizon.
Whatever her character, we had but
little chance of escape if she had rihed
guns. Many a glance of apprehension
was directed toward the somber hull
and pair of sloping smokestaclss, with
the, twisting smoke trending far astern.
SHOW him our colors, sir! Bend on
the ensign; we may as well be hung for
a sheep as lamb. If that fellow is a
rebel, the sooner we know it the bet
excitedly to the mate.
1t was close upon six bells (seven
o'clocls) when the steamer revealed her
nationality.
We fairly yelled as the blood-red
cross of st. George danced mp aloft from
the steamers signal-halyards. She was
evidently troop-ship bound for the
Cape, trife out of her course; but we
did not stop to consider that.
She was too far distant to speak; but,
in obedience to gesture from the cap
tain, the mate emptied bag of gayly
colored signals on deck, and the boys
were called aft to man the halyards
and lend hand to bend on the magic
flags Upward fiuttered the parti-col-
ored bits of bunting, glasses were lev

Gen. Meredith. of tho Iron Brigade.

Lasting fame was acquired by the
Iron brigade" in the civil war, not
merely because of the fighting abilities
of the men, but also because of the
heroism of their comrades. All shared
the same hardships and the same dam
gers, and it was probably to this close
touch between the soldiers and the Off
GERS that much of the success of these
noted troops was due. OF the generals
who commanded the brigade none was
braver or more popular than Solomon
Meredith, who died October %, 1875
He was early in the field, and us colonel
of the 10th Indiana regiment received
his baptism of fire and blood at the bat
tie of Gainesville. There he lost half
his men and was himself wounded
When sufficiently recovered to perform
active service he was made brigadier-
general and assigned to the Iron brig
ade, consisting chiefly of Wisconsin and
Indiana troops. Under his leadership
this brigade forced a crossing of the
Rappahannock in April, 1868, for which
it received special thanks in general
orders, took prominent part in the
bloody conflict at Charlottesville, and
played the leading role in the first days
battle at Gettysburg. Here Gen. Mere
dith, who was, as usual, in the thicke st
of the fight, was badly wounded, and
it was not until the following Eovem-
Der that he was able to report for duty.
He was six feet six inches in height, of
commanding presence and an ideal
soldier. When his death was announced
there was genuine mourning a;.ong
the surviving veterans OF the old Iron
brigade. News
