Road Making.
Chattanooga TIadesman. =.

The movement for good roads in
this country is an eminently practical
one. 1t deals with condition that is
as plainly visible as the face of the
earth. 1t appeals to the pride and
patriotism Of every American citizen.
II claims the support of all progressive
people. There is probably no social
or economic question that more
directly affects the we'll being of all
classes; for improved highways means
improved traffic, which benefits not
alone the farmer and other country
residents, but the merchant, the manu-
facturer, the artisan, the laborer, and
in short every class and condition OF
people.
History records that almost all
civilized nations have understood and
appreciated the commercial value OF
good means Of intercomunicatlon. Oh
the ancients the Carthagenians were
the first to build substantial highways
and it has been clearly shown that
much OF the power and greatness OF
Carthage was due to her good high
ways !; but the greatest road builders
of either ancient or modern times were
the Romans, whose system of highways,
ramlfying as they did every portion
Of the Roman empire, furnish US with
the most lasting proof of the strength
and power of that once great empire.
In more modern times the nations OIL
Europe have found it absolutely
necessary, in facilitating the move
ments of troops and supplies, to build
good stone highways in all parts Of
Europe France leads the old world
in this respect, and the magnificent
roads OF that country, originally
planned by the first Napoleon as the
most important aid to his military
movements, have in time of peace
proven to be an Invaluable factor in
the commercial prosperity of the
French people.

THE POULTRY YARD.
The. Care of Poultry in Winter.

The following taken from the veteri-
nary department Of Our animal Friends
gives much good advice to poultry
raisers that is well adapted to this
season of the year in the Southern
States.
At this season of the year, the nearer
one can provide his poultry with the
food to which they have been accus-
toned during the summer and the
early fall, the more certain will he be
to have healthy fowls throughout the
winter. On cold mornings warm
mess of ground oats and corn, with
proportion Of middlings and bran, is
the best food for layers. 1t should be
varied, rowen, and other vegetables.
The fowls relish food prepared in that
way, while they receive nourishment
much quicker and with less effort than
lfthey had eaten hard grain or uncooked
food.
To induce the fowls to scratch, the
midday lunch should be scattered
among chaff, leaves, or loose earth.
The vegetables, however, may be
placed within easy reach. Meat scraps
and crushed fresh benes are both more
nutritious and more palatable when
mixed with the morning meal than
when fed alone. For supper, whole
grain is best. 1t may be wheat and
corn, or wheat, corn, and barely.
Good oats make an excellent feed for
summer and winter.
Every spring and autumn the poul-
try houses should be thoroughly cleaned
with good limewash, to which should
be added a little carbolic acid. \
sponge dipped in kerosene should be
kept under the roosts, and the roosts
should be sprinkled over with air-slacked
lime and coal ashes. A good dust-box
should be provided for the birds. Regu-
larly every month, when they are quiet
upon their roosts in the evening, sprinkle
their feathers with fine, dry sulphur.
October and November are the
months in which distemper comes to
the chickens Matched in May and June.
The symptoms of roup are an Excess
sive redness of comb and face, and, in
serious cases, puffy condition under
the eyes together with frothiness of
the eyes. At the first signs of the
disease, put bromide of potash in the
drinking water at the rate of one grain
to each fowl. Do this for three sue
cessive days then omit it for three sue
cessive days, and repeat it again if
necessary. In aggravated cases where
froth appears in the eyes and where
the face is pulled, inject little kero-
sene Oil into the nostrils and gargle
the throat with kerosene. One appli-
cation generally corrects the evil,
when the weather is clear and dry.
The duration of the disease in its usual
form is about fourteen to seventy-two
hours.
The chilly atmosphere of a poultry
house may be quickly reduced by burn
ing common lamp in a room twelve
by twelve feet. There should, of
course, be good ventilation to the
poultry houses, but the birds should
never be allowed to remain in
draught nor in cold or damp air.

How to Fatten Poultry.

An experiment has lately been tried
of feeding geese with turnips, cut in
small pieces like dice, but less in size,
and put into a trough of water; with
this food alone the effect was, that six
geese, each when lean weighing only
Obs, actually gained 2Olbs. each in
about three weeks fattening. Malt is
an excellent food for geese and turkeys {;
grains are preferred for the sake of
economy, unless for immediate and
rapid tattening; the grains should be
boiled afresh. Other cheap articles
for fattening are oatmeal and treacle.
barleymeal and milk, boiled oats and
ground malt. Corn before given to
fowls should always be crushed and
soaked in water. The food will thus
60 further, and it will help digestion.
Hens fed thus have been known to Law
during the whole of the winter months.

Chicken Cholera is Indigestion.

Mrs. NJ. H. Rice writes as follows
in the Lasker Patron and Cleaner.
Cholera is indigestion. This was the
conclusion of a shrewd poultry woman
i'll Wyoming county, Pa.,) who was
giving me very interesting experience
which she had had. in her flock of Ply
mouth Rocks.
There was a flock of chickens and
mature hens, all very promising and
healthful, when all at once they began
to droop and die. Well-conditioned
hens were found dead on the nest; and
twenty chickens died with in a week.
When she commenced her treatment.
three hens were sick; and believing
that the symptoms of the fowls indi-
Gated indigestion, even though it was
called the cholera, she logically drew
her conclusions and treated her hen
patients accordingly.
She said Il had had indigestion and
sour stomache. for which l took baking
soda. | reasoned that what was good
for my indigestion and sour stom ach
was good for my chicks. So l made a
SIX quart pan of moistened bran, chops
from the bin of horse feed. or corn meal,
as | had it, in equal parts. Through
this, mingled thoroughly, three table
spoontulls of baking soda, and two of
common sulphur for their blood. This
l ted every morning.
Those too i'll to eat this mixture
were shut in coops by themselves, and
the fever created by the cholera made
them thirsty. Where there is running
water, like that running from our water
ing trough all the time, chickens will
drink nothing else; so after shutting
them up, gave them to drink a MKT
ure in proportion thusly TO every
pint of water, l dissolved one table
spoon of soda. Their fevered condi-
ton forced them to drink whether or
no; and after inaugurating this system
of treatment among my fowls. l never
lost another.

Notes About Poultry.

Wheat is one of the best egg pro-
ducing foods.
Charcoal is eagerly Iovoured by hens
about to lay.
1t is best to keep only one or two
varieties ofpoultry.
A sprinkling of fresh earth is one of
the best disintectants.
1t is economy to supply green food
to hens in confinement.
\ small patch of grain sown where
the fowls can get at it will promote
winter laying.
DO not be tempted by extra prices
to part with the early pullets which will
soon be laying.
Discovering our deficiencies in
poultry keeping in the first step to our
seeking to remedy them.
The insects that chickens gather
when allowed the run Of the farm are a
good substitute for meat.
Hens can not produce eggs unless
their food contains the elements Of
which the egg is composed.
Proper feeding and an abundant sup
ply Of china nest eggs will prevent egg
eating by hens in close confinement.
For the first few weeks the game
fowls are rather delicate. Afterwards
they become hardy and excellent table
fowls.
Fowls which feather and mature
early are generally considered good
egg producers, good sitters and good
mothers.
Chopped onions are excellent in your
food for breakfast for the hens. 1t
helps to keep them healthy, and hinders
lice.
Hens that are melting should be well
fed and given comfortable quarters, SO
that they may resume their laying and
continue through the winter.
Venetian Red, if mixed with drink
ing water just enough to color tho
water, will work wonders in the health
of flock of chickens. Demonstrate
its value by testing.
Early melting hens are usually the
best for winter laying. All such
should be marked for the breeding pen
next season, so that the flock NAV be
improving in this respect.
Grass clipped from the lawn mower
is fine food for fowls of any kind that
are kept in confinement, and if it is so
used, the lawn mower may be made to
pay for itself, and the lawn be source
of profit as we'll as pleasure.

Going Back to the Farms.
| Atlanta Constitution.

The movement from the country to
the city has been overdone. Millions
of people have drilted to the towns and
this is one reason why 50 many men
are out of employment. Labor has
glutted some markets and has left
others without an adequate supply.
The Maine Farmer states that hard
times and difficult in obtaining employ
ment have caused many people to re-
turn to the country and buy or rent
farms. They are acting very sensibly.
An industrious man on little farm Of
his own will at least make a living
He may not handle much cash, but
his labor will produce enough to
supply his reasonable wants. He Will
enjoy degree of comfort and indie
pendence unknown by poor man in
large city He will not always have
his landlord and the bailiffs bothering
him, and his labor will insure him a
happy home, humble it may be, but a
home in which peace ard plenty will
sit by the tireside.
The rush from the country to the
towns has lasted long enough. Now,
let us have 4 movement back to the
farms. Rural life is different from
what it was generation ago. The
farmers have better transportation
facilities and more markets. and many
of the ConvenlenCes of City life are
within their reach. In a short time
there will doubtless be free daily
mail delivery in our farming districts,
and telephones and electric railways
will give them still better facilities of
communication.
We know that the farmers suffer
during hard times, but their hardships
are slight in comparison with those of
the idle workingmen who tramp the
streets of the cities begging for any
job at any wages. Men with little
money can buy farms for song, and
If they have no money they can get
farm work, and in few years purchase
land on time and pay for it. For the
poor man or the absolutely moneyless
man the country is always the best
place, and especially during a long
spell Of dull times.

A WOman's Blood Upon His Head.
fAtlanta Constitution.


The newspapers are just now pub
fishing the obituary of man whose
name will be infamous in history.
Joseph Holt, Southern man by
birth, native of Kentucky, and after
ward honored by Mississippi, was the
secretary of war at the colse of Presi-
dent Buchanan's administration. He
elected to turn against his own kindred,
and during the war which followed ate
from the Aeshpots of the enemy. Sub
sequently he became judge advocate
general of the federal army, and like
all men who betray their own kith
and kin, sought to conciliate those
among whom he had cast his lot by
extreme bitterness.
When the assassination of President
Lincoln took place it was before this
rabid South-hater that Mrs. Surratt
was tried. Instead of dealing with
the crime as one of individuals against
the president, he lent his influence TO
the theory that it was a plot of the
expiring confed ,racy. His was a
court organized to convict. The poor
woman, who was the victim of a
worthless sons indiscretion in harbor
ing John Wilkes Booth, could look
for no mercy at the hands OF her
brutal Judge. She was convicted and
hanged, Notwithstanding the efforts OF
many to spare the country the taking
of a woman's life.
1t has been declared by Mrs. Surratt' S
friends that Judge Advocate Holt kept
President Johnson ignorant of many
facts which would have influenced
him in committing the woman's
sentence. Certain it is that he was
overzealous for her conviction, and that
he used all his power to thwart
executive clemency.
For twenty years past Holt has
lived as mummy in Washington-a
reminder of the fact that men can
sometimes lose humanity through over.
shadowing prejudice.
Human nature never changes. Il
man promises to do better than men
have done in the past, do not believe
him.

Mr.: Fred Miller, Of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was affected. He
tried many so-called kidney cures but with
out any good result. About year ago he
began use of Electric Bitters and found
relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure Of all kidney and liver
troubles and often given almost instant
relief. One trial will prove our statement.

WASTED TIME AND OPPOR-
TUNITIES.
Baltimore Sun

Time slips by US almost UNDECIDED,
never TO return. 1t can not be saved
like money, to be used after awhile,
or stored as IN a reservoir. Each
moment is given to us but once. We
must make use of it or it Will pass
away, never to return. 10 the wage
worker especially time is of very great
value. He can not afford to waste
any of it, This does not mean that
he should never be idle. On the
contrary, he will make great mistake
if by everlasting himself he crlpples
his powers of work. Time IS wasted
unless it is used SO as to keep sound
mind in a sound body. There must
be an adequate allowance of time tor
rest and time for recreation, or the
time for work can not be fully utilized.
The greatest waste OF time and oppor-
tunites, however, IS committed by
young men and young women. They
do not realize the value OF time until
wears have rolled away and they find
themselves bound down 10 hard labor
that they might have escaped If they
had taken time to improve their minds
or develop some kind of special skill
that would put their services IN demand.
Much of the distress Of the world falls
upon the workers of little skill, whose
places can be easily filled from great
throng of other incompetents, always
seeking 4 job. Very many of these
mot all, perhaps have wasted their
time and opportunities IN their youth.
They have sought recreation and
amusement when they should have
been studying; they have refused TO
work at any calling that required them
to soil their hands or their clothes :;
they have accepted easy situations and
have reached manhood ignorant, ~
and incapable of giving useful service
10 their employers. But they can not
recall one minute Of the wasted hours
and days of their youth. No repent
ance will bring back to them lDN;
opportunities They are doomed as
by a fate, for which they are themselves
in part responsible, to life Of Ill paid
toll or of shame This lesson can not
be too often held up before the young,
tor they are thoughtless and always
more or less Indifferent to the lessons
OF experience. Here and there, how
ever, one may be found who will
listen to the warning and guard against
the waste of time. in doing so he
need not saCrif-e. the rational enjoy
ments of life. There is abundant time
for play, as well as for study and work
and rest, if one will make a proper
division. And there will be no waste
of time if each hour is made to help
build up the physical, mental or moral
qualities, or to develop some special
skill that will be useful in the bread
winning contests of the future.
