This is the kind of law we have advocated

Engineer of Maintenance of Way Johnson,
w. H Addicks, general counsel of the road
in Philadelphia, Directors James Sloan, Jr.,
and George De B. Keim, Senator ]. n. Cam

and G. NJ. Shriver. General Manager Camp
bell accompanied the party over part OF The
route. The work Of inspection extended as
far west as Chicago and st. Louis, including
the Fairmont Morgantown and Pittsburg
Branch. Especial attention was devoted to
the new Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge
at Harper's Ferry, which will be ready for
use within two months. The structure will
be used for railroad purposes alone, and not
for trains, wagons and pedestrians, as is the
existing bridge. After the new bridge is put
into service all railroad travel over the old
bridge will cease. That structure will be
kept open for the accommodation of the pub
lie. The members of the inspection party
were much gratied with the condition OF
the whole system They report the road-bed
in excellent condition and ready for large

A good story i. told on a well-known law
yer who had gambler for client, but was
anxious to make him appear as respectable
as possible in an interesting trial in the
courts SO he called on 4 fellow member of
the bar who knew the man, and asked him if
he could not oblige him by testifying to the
individuals reputation for veracity and fair
dealing. The lawyer with queer smile re-
pied that he could readily testify to his
reputation for yoracity and faro dealing
Perhaps that would pass muster in court. -
He was not called, however.

AGRICULTURAL. NOTES,

To GROW onions from seed successful
ly they must be sown very early. 9th
erwise they will not become large
enough to make a profitable crop.
The more thoughtful, studious and
busincss-likc the farmer is, the more he
will prosper in his vocation, and the
more honor will he be accorded by his
fellow men. Get your boys started right
in this matter.
If planting fruit trees this spring, do
not fail to include a few peaches. Cut
back to a single whip two and II half
feet high, and set thirteen to fourteen
feet apart. Give good cultivation and
liberal manuring.
Is order to have a COW do well
through the summer she must be in
bod condition when she comes to grass.
otherwise you will have TO feed and
pamper her, and this is something that
the dairyman rarely finds profit in doing.
IT is n great mistake to wage miscel-
lancous warfare upon birds. While
some of them do the farmer considcra-
BILE damage, he gains more than he loses
by them as a whole. The English spar
row is perhaps the worst of them an,
but poison should not be put about for
these because it will destroy many 9th

Kennedy for Lice on Fowls.

Fowls will not do well il they are
bothered by lice. These insects will
keep them thin and prevent them from
laying eggs. To prevent this trouble
give the fowls some quite dry ashes,
either of wood or coal, but sifted close
ly, SO as to be quite fine, The hens dust
themselves in the ashes, and a shallow
square box two feet each way is to be
provided for this purpose. This may
be kept in the house, or in a shed adj
joining, where the fowls may exercise.
This provision will prevent the lice,
and II this is too late, kerosene may be
rubbed literally on the roosts. This
will get on the birds as they squat down
on the roosts at night, and the smell
will drive the vermin away. The lice
hide in the joints and cracks of the
roosts, and the oil should be well
worked into these with a stiff paint
brush. The fowls must be freed from
these tormentors or they will not lay
eggs. and II they attempt 10 brood they
wiz leave their nests - r World, '
