The back part of the pen was placed
directly over the pit Grown rabbits
could jump easily from the pit into the
front cage, and the little ones remained
in the cage until too large to get out
through the wires. Rabbits dig down
in the pit and construct their own
breeding places in burrows beneath the
pen. The pen proved to be warm in
winter, cool in summer and well adapt

removed from the pit through the trap

Measure of Value.

An old confederate army chaplain,
Rev. j. Fl. McNeilly, tells story which
he thinks may be especially appreci
ated in these times of financial strin-
gency. In January, 1864, he was in
camp at Dalton, Ga. He had just been
paid off in deprecated confederate cur
rency, and much of it was in one dollar
bills-red- backed pieces of paper six OF
eight inches long and about three
inches wide When soldier is paid,
he wants to buy something to eat; SO,
as had heard of man who was sell
ing ginger cakes in camp about a

Good Pasture for Hogs.

Galen Wilson, in the Practical Farm
sr, tells how to have pasture for hogs:
Divide your lot into two fields. Sow
pne to oats alone at the rate of three
bushels to the acre, as soon as the soil
will answer to work in the spring, and
about the 10th of May SOW the other to
sweet corn, two bushels to the acre.
About the last of June, change the AMI
mails from the oat field to this corn.
Then plow the oat field and SOW to
corn in the same way, and change the
hogs back when necessary. If the
number of hogs is rightly proportioned
to area and fertility of soil there will
be green feed until winter. For this
purpose sweet corn is worth about
fifty per cent. more than common fielG

TRUE HEROISM.


A Soldiers Estimate of Courage in Battle
"A Sergeant in Command.
1t was at soldiers meeting, and the
subject was what constituted brave
soldier. He recited case of what he
considered true heroism. He said his
regiment was encamped near the river
bank, and was called into action about
nine o'clock on the morning of April 6.
AS the regiment was marching along
the road to the front to take position
he could not shake off the idea that he
was going to be shot in the battle He
called to the side of him slim boy.
who at that time ranked as sergeant
by the name of Fred Marsh, whom he
had become very much attached to.
He related to him his belief that he
was going to be shot, and requested
him in that event to take command of
the company. That young boy, with
true modesty, cheered him up with his
words, but said this: Captain, can
not take command of the company.
The second lieutenant is here and the
first sergeant; both good soldiers. They
will be all right"
The regiment was formed in line of
battle, the regiments in our front were
driven back, and soon we were trying
to check the advance of the confed-
crates. We did so, but were finally
driven back, with terrible loss. AS the
regiment was falling back to reform
the cries of our wounded were terrible.

LIME FOR POULTRY.
n Given at All, 1t Must 10 Given In n
Diluted form.

VI StVon ab All, lU MUST 30 ttVen IN y
Diluted form.
The suggestion to give grain soaked
In lime water to poultry is well worthy
Of quasi condemnation. Animals can
not live on mineral food, and lime in
this-its natural condition-is acrid
and injurious There is no need for 1t,
either or for the trouble taken in pre-
pairing the grain. Some fresh bones
with the meat attached, as are thrown
aside by the butchers, especially the
softer and more cellular rib bones,
make the best form in which to give
the lime needed by hens. If it is too
much trouble to break these with
hammer on block in the poultry yard,
which has been my practice for years,
the bones may be burned in the kitchen
stove and the ashes given to the fowls
In the yard or in some place to which
they have free access. The waste bones
of the household may be thus turned
to use in the most profitable way, and
a flock of fifty hens will consume all
the waste of good-sized family. For
large hocks contract should be made
with the local butcher In this form
the lime is digestible and the phosphorio
acid in the bones will also be valuable.
1t is very certain that no indigestible
matter given to a hen can help her In
any way to make shells for her eggs,
all the material of which must neces-
sarily pass through the blood before 1t
can reach the ovary.
1t is common experience among
poultrymen that rape and hemp seed
are useful to the laying hens, and in
crease the number of eggs. Now both
these seeds are rich in lime, the ash of
the former having IA per cent. Of it and
that of the latter 90 per cent. And in
this regard it might be mentioned that
the seed of the esparcet, which is eaten
by fowls with great avidity, has more
than third of it's ash lime. Thus the
culture of this plant, one of the legumi-
nose, may be recommended as very
useful to poultr y-keepers. 1t is COM
mon crop on the small French farms,
under its common name sainfoin, and
the fowls eat the whole plant, which
like all its family (the clover) has a
great quantity of lime in 1t. Clover
itself is thus use full to fowls as a green
crop on this account. This is the only
way in which lime can be given to
fowls healthfully.- Gentle

Twenty three Of their bishops and priests
recently went together to Europe, and

what is Mormonism without this abom-

citated? The present population OF Utah
is $4,000; bat through the aid OF the
