While a score of excursionists were seated
( N the porch of Nick Schenville's fishing sta
ton at Chef Menteur, twenty miles from
New Orleans, La, Rudolph Bienvenue, a
half idiotie deaf mute, whose drunken actions
had led to his election from Schenvilles

party at a distance of fifty feet. None OF the
shots took effect and Bienvenue moved away
across the bridge spanning Chef Menteur.
Reloading his gun, he walked back to the
party and again fired upon it. Tony Schen-
vile returned the fire, but failed to hit the
mute. Bienvenue fired a fourth time, wound
ing Tony Schenville. The seventeen-year-
old brother of the wounded man caught up
a weapon and fired twice at the mute. The
second load took effect and killed him in
stantly. The body fell from the bridge into
the Chef.

Reports received from all the fruit growing
sections indicate that the crop prospects in
New England were exceedingly bright up to

well In Maine, New Hampshire and YER

FARMERS Side.
Where We are, h0w We got here,
and the way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
o. s. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent tho
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans end prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas TO succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARxER'E
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
Scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other ~callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest
gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wsge-workers in general. In . clear, forcibl'
style, with abundant citations of facts and hg-
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of " The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entstion of the aims and views of the Farmer
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts 70
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which The
farmer ought to have at hand.
The farmers SIDE has just been issued,
and makes a handsome and substantial book
OF 28O pages: We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
ishers' price. The book may be obtained st

Give the hens a place for themselves,

One advantage with the incubator is
that you can begin Matching at any

One advantage in feeding poultry a
variety is that they will keep a better
appetite.
If the incubator is placed in a cellar,
thorough ventilation becomes an i'm.

For eggs alone, good early pullets
and thrifty two year-old hens will give
the best results.
Fowls should never be confined in
such close quarters that they cannot
take good exercise.
Do not go to an extreme in ventila-
ton; it is quite an item in the winter
to keep the fowls warm.
Generally with poultry, as with
other products, the best time to sell is
when they are fully ready.
The quality of the food should be

especially to the weather.
Use all reasonable care to keep the
poultry quarters clean; this is as i'm
pOrtant in winter as in summer.
Clean, pleasant quarters and suitable
food have much to do in determining
the flavor and quality of the fowls.
