The following lines, entitled, "Bid-
den" which recently appeared in The
Congregationalist, are among the
finest ever written in honor Of the
Lords day:
The seventh day is Gods reception day.
Six days in every week he comes to us
To buoy our strength with His for daily
tasks,
To bring us comfort or to give us joy,
But on the seventh He throws wide His
doors
And bids us enter. All heavens courts
are filled
With bloom and beauty and the sound of
song
The white-robed multitude and men of
earth,
Arrayed in battered arnor, there may
meet
For one brief moment while the battle
1u11s,
And they who fight and they who fought
and won
Before the throne may ming1e. Shall we
shun
So great an honor? Shall we turn away
From so august an audience chamber?
Nay,
But let us cast earths rags aside and don
Heavens fair court robe; our King receives
today!

The Profitable Egg Hen.

This is the time of the year when
poultry literature abounds in copious
recipes to make the old hen lay when
eggs are % cents and upward per dozen.
From the food recommended and the
manner Of preparation, one does not

feathered or human bipeds.
Alfred Shirer says that when poultry

that a person can take any two-legged

FatteninE Poultry.

A noted poultry writer says that no
operation connected with the poultry
yard requires greater attention and ex-
perience than fattening fowls in coops
Oatmeal and barleymeal alternately
mixed with milk, and occasionally with
a little dripping, is a good food. The
feeding troughs which must be kept
constantly secured. should be placed be
fore the birds at regular intervals. and
when they have eaten sufficient it is bet
ter to remove them. placing a little
gravel within reach of the coop to assist
digestion. Oats and rice are far inferior
to oatmeal in their hesh-forming proper
ties. Keeping the birds without food for
some hours after they are put up fire.
quently induces them to take il more
readily afterward, but sufficient atten-
tion is rarely bestowed on the various
details Of preparation and supplying the
food; hence, the complaints of the fowls
deteriorating in the fattening pen are
far from uncommon. Access to water
should be allowed at all times.
Fattening must be completed in ten
days. for after that period they begin to
lose weight. The best ages for e BILE
birds is when they are from four TO six
months old.
The coop should be three feet high.
two feet wide and four feet long This
will admit from six TO eight birds. ac-

coop should be in a well-ventiated out
house, and if kept dark between the
times Of feeding, all the better.

Storing seed Potatoes.

Concerning the winter storage Of
potatoes, Mr. T. Greiner writes in Farm
and Fireside as follows:
Any person who has a dark, FROST
proof cellar can easily and successfully
store the few potatoes which his family
may want until new potatoes are ready,
and possibly a little surplus for sale.
The problem becomes more serious when
the potatoes TO be kept are intended for
seed, and ii is very serious one for the
large planter. Seed. potatoes may be ex-
posed to the light, while potatoes for the
table should not; but they require a low
temperature and moderate moisture (of
the surrounding atmosphere to keep
them from emitting sprouts prerna turely,
and also from whiting. Cold storage
seems to solve the problem to perfection.
The potatoes of the 1892 crop which I
saw at the Canada vegetable exhibit at
the worlds fair in June, had been thus
kept in cold storage. and were plump
and apparently in sound and excellent
condition for planting or table. Mr..
Woolverton of Grimsby, Ontario, the
secretary of the Ontario fruit growers
association, told me that these potatoes
had been kept continuously In a temper
allure of a few degrees above freezing.

cellars under dwelling houses. when the
time of planting approaches, usually
warm up too much for the good Of seed
potatoes. In some localities people have
a chance TO hire cold-stOrage room,
proprietors of cold-storage plants usually
charging 10 cents per bushel for keep
ing onions sets. potatoes. etc. Such OPP
portunities are too good to be neglected.
II this storage will insure you perfect
condition of your seed-potatOes, or Of
onion sets. etc. at planting time. the
10 cents bushel is but a trifie compared
with the advantages and results that
may be derived from the transaction.

In the MiIking stnhlc.

A paragraph is going the rounds of
the papers to the effect that farmer
discharged a hired man who would talk
all the time he was milking, and the
result was that at the end Of the week
the increase of milk was equal in value
to the mans wages. This may be true
or it may be little overdrawn. but
John Gould says that the success of a
dairy depends upon the fixing Of a set
Of milking rules and making them the
governing force Of the stable. The rules,
to some extent, are applicable to the
summer as well as the winter In the
first place the stable should be kept
clean at all seasons. When the cows
are brought to the yard, let them stand
five minutes before the stables are open
for them. and this, in the summer. will
make a vast difference with the cleanli-
ness of the stable. BE regular in the
hours of milking. Keep the hangers
clean at all times. and once a day, best
at night, feed the cows a little mess
of some kind to hire" them 10 be in
calling distance when wanted 10 milk,
and which will prove far less expensive,
and twice as profitable as a dog. Cows
should be tied every time i'm the same
place, and soon they viii look upon ii
as their own home, and be quiet when
standing there. Feed the mess before
milking so not TO keep the cows in
waiting expectancy for their feed. and
as fast as MIXED let them go out into
the yard. Let the mixer milk the same
cows every time unless some COW shows
an unwillingness to let a person milk
her when a change can be made, and
with profit, as some COWS never take
kindly 10 some mixers, and when MIXED
by another show their pleasure about
it in many ways.

DANVILLE, ILL.,, Dec. s.-Harvey Pate
and Frank Stires were hanged today
for the murder of Henry Helmick, a
wealthy farmer of Pilot township, on
the night Of Aug. % last. The young
men, who are but twenty-one and twen-
ty years of age respectively. passed a
quiet night after bidding farewell to
their relatives and were composed when
the sheriff came in at IL 80 today to
read the death warrant At 1850 the
procession was formed in the corridor,
the ministers leading. followed by the
two boys in the custody of deputies.
Both stood upon the scaffold calmly
waiting the fatal moment and unsup-
ported. Two long prayers followed, but
there was no nervousness on the part of
the boys Pate said he was sorry for
the deed and he wanted to warn all
boys against bad company and bad
books Stires merely said:
That's right; nope to meet you in
heaven"
Pate remarked: ''This is the happiest
day of my life" to which Stires re-
sponded, you betr'
At / o'clock and two minutes, while
Thee" Sheriff Newton raised a heavy
hand-ax. cut the rope and the drops fell
with a crash. The fall was five feet
and the neclks of both men were broken.
Pate's shoulder and body shook con-
vulsively a few seconds, while the legs
slowly swung about. Stires hardly
moved after the drop. Doctors noted
the pulses and inside of eight minutes
pronounced both dead.
A great crowd Of people were about
the jail. and there was much curiosity to
see the bodies, but the sheriff put them
into collins and in covered wagons and
had them conveyed away. The manner
in which these two boys, one twenty-one
and the other nineteen years of age. met
death is only explained by the religious
excitement which held them up. They
went onto the scaffold humming reli-
gious hymns and to the prayers of the
ministers responded, "Amenp" BLESS the
I.ordr' etc
The crime for which Pate and Stires
were executed today was committed Aug.
%, 1893. Four young men. Harvey Pate,
Elias McJunken. eighteen, and Charles
Smoot, seventeen, were great readers of
flash literature. and Pate had served two
years among the cowboys of Texas. The
four conceived the idea of holding up
Henry Helmick. the wealthy farmer. The
boys walked twelve miles frol[ the city
and met Helmick and his wife. who were
in a buggy. Helmick struck his horses
when a demand for money was made and
Pate shot him dead. Young Stires con-
fessed to completely in the deed, and upon
arraignment all four pleaded guilty. Pate
and Stires We're sentenced to hang and
McJunken and Smoot to the penitentiary
for life The crime committed on
Friday On the Sunday following SmoOt
confessed and on Monday the indignant
neghbors of the murdered man made an
unorganized attempt to take the prisoners
from Jail They were dispersed. but after
ward organized 400 strong to take revenge
should the sentence be less than hanging,
! They were satisfied with the result of the
trial Today's execution is the first in the
history of this county.

Root. I'm Drain TILES.

Some striking instances are given in
the New England Farmer of the chok-

the roots of trees. In these cases the
roots entered at the joints between the

ii is regarded as important to make the
