Chicken Cholera.

Here is remedy for chicken cholera.
sent to the editor of the Louisville
Home and Farm by Farmers
Daughter,' who vouches for its being
a dead shot sure cure. 1t has been
used by the writer's mother she says
for fifteen years, and has never failed
to cure or stop the disease: lone
spoonful of saltpetre, one spoonful of
alum, two spoonfuls Of coperas, two
spoonfuls Of sulphur; pulverize and
mix in corn meal dough- Saltpetre
and gunpOwder are said to be both
cure and preventive of chicken cholera,
while coperas and sulphur are also used
with good results, and all together the
above doubtless is good remedy,
better perhaps than if one or more Of
the articles be omitted. The writer
fails to state the number Of chickens
this is to be fed to, however, and the
information is incomplete as it is.

Mr., Henry's Lecture in Warren
ton.
The Warrenton Gazette says this of
the lecture Of Mr.. w. r. Henry de-
livered in that place Tuesday evening
of last week
Mr.. w. r. Henry's lecture here last
Tuesday night was gem, real poem.
1t was elegant and eloquent. 1t was
full of learning without pedanry, and
showed profound historical research.
Although his theme has been on every
ones tongue since the day Of Eve, by
all odds the q" first lady of the land,'
it,did not become hackneyed under his
skillful handling, but grew in interest,
link by link, as he told the beautiful,
the old, but ever wonderful story. One
of the best tests of an orators power
is his ability to hold his audiences at
tention, and this Mr.. Henry did with
out an apparent effort.

Farmers Receive the Benefit.

Farmers. and others, living near
the villages and towns are often heard
saving this: at is nothing to me
whether the town builds up or not, l
don't own a foot Of real estate there,
and never expect to do so.' Such
sometimes go even farther and de-
nounce their local paper for giving so
much of its space to whooping up"
the aforesaid village OR town.
If all such would give this matter
fair hearing and then pronounce upon
it perhaps their judgment might be re-
versed.
1t is an admitted fact that town
which has one hundred peoplc ii it at
tracts the notice of the outside world
far less than one which has thou sand;
the latter with its increased population
causes an enhanced valuation of all
lands situated near by; it has more
consumers to buy fruit, poultry, vege-
tables, butter, ETC., and thereby keeps
trade going on, where without such
consumers there would be no trade ex-
cept such as is made by the selling OF
annual crops. Land worth $40 an
acre near village of fifty inhabitants,
would be worth 800 if the number
was increased to thousand and if a
city were built the price of such land
situated near by would sell at higher
rates These being facts which admit
of no Just denial, our farmers should
encourage their local papers instead OF
denouncing them when they are work
ing for immigration. Give the editor

Miss Martha Hicks, who had been
an invalid for some time, died at the
boarding house of her sister Mrs. J. II.
T. Edwards, in this place, Monday af-
ternOOn last at a quarter past ) O'Clock,
aged 90 years. The deceased lady had
lived in Henderson for the past fifteen
wears and was we'll known to most Of
our citizens. She was consistent
member of the Methodist Protestant
church, and died in the faith of happy
immortality. Those who have been in
attendance at her bedside during her
lingering illness have been deeply i'm
pressed by her wonderful patience and
the sweet expressions of her willing
ness to cross the dark river and enter
the rest which awaits the faithful. The
burial was at Harris Chapel, few

services.

Outing Costumes for Ladies'.

French outing costumes have a skirt
perfectly plain. Some models, however,
with overdresses and draperies are also
popular. Many a short full coat has Il
double breasted vest, cut lower than last
year. Some new importatiCns have also
full cross skirts set on. The very long
coat is still seen. AS for the jackets, the
"Gargon de cafe and new varieties of
the Eton' jackets are the favOrites.
These are made particularly attractive
and stylish by revers and cape effects,
which are produced in many novelties.
These items of flashing are taken from
the McDo,reN Fashion Journals, which, as
usual, contain an endless variety OF
models. In the way of inducements, these
magazines offer patterns of the latest
styles which can be secured at very
moderate prices by means OF coupons.
They also offer 81 90 worth of patterns
as a premium for a yearly subscription
to either of these journals except g La
Mode, which only gives fifty cents worth
of patterns as aprenium. The subscrip-
ton price OF " La Mode de Paris" and
Paris Album Of Fashion, is only $3.50 a
year for each or 81 cents per copy. The
French Dressmaker" is $500 per annum or
80 cents per copy. ''La Mode,'' the best
family magazine in America, only costs
$50 for a years subscription or ID

More About the Death of Mr..

Week before last we published the
particulars Of the death tmurder) of
Mr.. William Prince, in Bolivia, South
America, as furnished us by his brother
Mr.. NJ. Il. Prince. Letters just re-
cicved by Mr.. Prince, from the vice
consul Of Spain, resident in Bolivia,
the acting United States minister of
foreign affairs, and from the State De-
partment at Washington, give fuller
details Of the tragedy and bring infor-
nation that the murderer has been ar
rested and is in Jail awaiting trial.
Mr.. Prince is assured that justice shall
be done and there appears to be no
doubt thai the murderer will be con-
victed and executed. The house of
the murdered man was plundered and
it is known that a large quantity of
GOLD was taken.

manufacturers, who renewed the adj
vertising contract of his house for an

concern since 1885, which speaks well
alike for the paper and their goods. If
there was no value in our columns as
an advertising medium, and no merit
in the articles advertised, these shrewd

public would have discovered the fact
ere this and ceased to spend their

MENDING BROKEN LIMBS.

A writer in Country Gentleman
says: 1t often happens that some
animal upon the farm has a leg
broken. Not always will it pay to
try to save the animal. In case of a
fat hog or one of the cattle it would
be better to kill the animal at once,
as the meat would be good for use if
killed as soon as the fracture is
made; but with small animals
plaster of Paris bandage applied to
the fracture will in few weeks time
make the limb as good as new. Sew
eral instances of this kind have hap
pened in my own experience, and the
plaster bandage has always resulted
in complete cure. Once a pet
lamb had its leg broken. Instead Of
killing it a quantity OF the plaster
was wet up with cold water, the leg
we'll creased to prevent the plaster
sticking to it when the time came to
remove the bandage, and thick
coating applied directly to the leg,
first Strengthening as we'll as posi-
BILE. Cloth bandages were then
wound around it and securely tied.
After the plaster had set, the lamb
was given its liberty. After few
days it began to use the limb a little,
and at the end of a month the
bandage was removed and the limb
found to be perfectly sound. A hen
was found with its leg broken in a
trap last spring. AS it was a choice
one it was treated as above, and al
though it was longer in healing, it
finally came ont all right and shows
no sign of its accident at the present
time. To apply the plaster, if
should be spread upon a strip Of
cloth after being wet, as otherwise it
could not be made to stay in place
while the bandage was being ap-
Dlied

THE ORCHARD.

Dr. T. H. Hoskins has this to say
about the arrangement and care of
his orchards: These orchards EN-
brace in their plan 1000 fruit trees,
the last of which will soon be plant
ed. Ia the rows of trees gooseberries
and currants are planted, and are
expected to yield good income
while the trees are coming to full
bearing-say eight to ten years
when they will be removed. The
trees are set fifteen feet apart in the
rows, and the rows thirty FIVE feet
asunder. In these spaces all sorts Of
hoed crops are and will be grown,
the ground being thoroughly man
ured with stable manure every other
year, and the hoed crop getting
1000 pounds of fertilizer per acre on
the alternate years. In about fifteen
years the alternate trees-a consid-
able proportion of which are plum
and cherry-will be taken out, leav-
ing the trees Of the permanent apple
and pear orchards standing thirty
by thirty FIVE feet. This is wide
enough for the early-bearing iron
clads, mostly of Russian origin or
descent, which are all of moderate
growth as compared with our
ordinary apple-trees, origina ting
from western Europe"

our control 1t is we'll for every
man to keep on the lookout, but
not always ready to find fault with
his unfortunate neighbor. In times
like these farmers are by far the best
off of any of the laboring classes.
They never cry for Bread they al
ways have enough to eat and fire to
keep them warm. Men that have
lost their jobs are already leaving
the cities and towns to find cheaper
rents and less expensive living in the
