He was truly in love with, and welded to
the work of his profession, and of his judi
cial office. His pride. his ambition and his
enjoyment, in large measure, centered in
these.
In his early practice, his love for the law
was manifesto in his studious and careful
examination and preparation of all
cases entrusted to his care. His
zeal for his clients, his continuous
persistent efforts to maintain and secure
what he believed to be their legal and
equitable rights, was always manifested in
his conduct Of jury trials, and in hearings
before the law courts. But his zeal never
allowed him to depart from the rules of
courteous practice, or to seek advantage in
any way, but by fair, open, honorable com
bat.
In his professional intercourse and
business relations, he was the soul of hon
or. Judge Libbey's practice brought him
face to face with the veteran lawyers OF

Eggs in Winter.

1t is very desirable to have hens lay
well in cold weather, when eggs brings a
good price. To succeed in this is within
the reach of all who keep fowls. 1t can
not be accomplished without effort, how
ever, which must be kept up as long as
cold weather continues.
Much, of course, depends upon the
breed of fowls. am inclined to think,
says Ella lockwood in the Agriculturist,
that flock of mixed hens will produce
more eggs than any one kind. Not only
does my own experience teach this, but
observation among other poultry keepers
as well While some breeds may well be
called general purpose fowls, the Leghorns
are probably unexcelled for eggs 1t is
useless to look for large quantities of eggs
from the heavier breeds. Where one
wants both eggs and market fowls, it is
well to keep more than one breed. An
entire flock of uniform color is more pleas
ing to the eye, but mixture is more salts
factory as an all-around flock.
Last winter had flock of thirty five
hens, ranging from pullets to hens -four
years old. They were mixed lot; some
Plymouth Rocks, some grade Langshans,
a few Light Brahmas, and goodly pro-
portion of Brown Leghorns and their
grades. They had been laying well all
summer, with scarcely any decrease in egg
production at melting time, as the pullets
were then beginning to lay. At the be-
ginning of cold weather their house was
lined with building paper, and six or eight
inches of sand thrown on the earth floor.
As long as the ground was bare they were
allowed the run of the yard, but were kept
shut in on cold and stormy days. The
feed was warm mash in the morning,
with a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper in it.
This mash is very easily made. At break
fast time every morning the teakettle is
filed with water and put over to heat.
By the time breakfast was over the water
was hot 1t was put into large pail and
stirred with mixture of bran and mid
dlings, as thick as could be. On the floor
we had quantity of cut straw and chat,
and into this were thrown four quarts Of
mixed corn, oats and wheat at about four
o clock in the afternoon, so that the hens
could scratch it out before dark. Fresh
water, with the chill of, was before them
every day. All the meat scraps from the
table and the ohal of butchering days,
bones with some meat on, all went to fur
nish animal food in absence of insects.
On no day through the entire winter did
they lay less than half dozen eggs and
through January and February the aver
age ran from ten to twenty eggs every day,
with occasionally as many as twenty four
When the snow lay deep on the ground
for weeks at time, and the thermometer
lowering around zero, they were kept in
their house all the time. The house is
sixteen by twenty-four feet, and besides
the hens there were two cocks and ten
hen turkeys kept in it. With eggs from
eighteen to twenty -four cents dozen it is
worth while to ssfuss' with hens.

Farm Notes.


The extremely low prices at which some
tobacco growers have sold their undesirable
crops Of tobacco suggests query why they
do not keep it off the market and use this
tobacco as fertilizer to grow better sam
Piles in the future. The price they sell at
is less than the tobacco is worth as a ma
nure 1t is rich in potash and is easily
decomposed. Market gardeners often use
refuse tobacco as fertilizer, and they find
better results from it than from many ma
nures that cost more money One of the
advantages of tobacco as fertilizer is in
repelling attacks of insects 1t is espec-
tally valuable in growing cucumbers and
melons.
Hay journal devoted to the hay in
dustry in all its branches, says:-The hay
crop is equal invalue to the cotton and wheat
crops combined. The crop of 1880 was 81, :
925, 900 tons, and last year it amounted
to IS, 766, 900 tons, valued at $3.50, 8S2,
S72o which is only $40, 900, 600 behind
the corn crop. When hay is made into
blocks for street paving, for which it is
very good, it will catch up with corn and
make nice roadway for Chicago thorough
fares.
The value of clover as manure may be
shown by the fact that an acre of white
clover contains 1872 pounds of heterogeneous
matter, and red clover 529 pounds, but
white clover contains more mineral matter
than the red. Compared with this the
average quality of barnyard manure con-
tains about so pounds of heterogeneous mat
ter per ton.
The Minorcas and Black Spanish lay
larger eggs than do any other breed of
fowls, but the Brahmas, Cochins and Ply
mouth Rocks are the best winter layers.
In England and Scotland the farmers
raise large sheep, whole hocks averaging
over 300 pounds each, alive, and when a
wether is killed for family use, that which
is not desired Immediately is corned the
same as beef Small breeds are not raised
in Great Britain, and the farmers pay no
attention to wool compared with mutton.
Reputation is capital. The farmer who
makes it point to send only frst-class ar
ticIes to market will always command a
price higher than the quotations.
Our domesticated animals seem to be all
fond of wheat, though they are not used
to it. 1t is relished best in the form of
coarse meal, and it is then in condition
to be attacked by the digestive processes,
whether thoroughly masticated or not,
and it gives the best results. When too
fine it is pasty, and not so readily eaten.
Enough of the old prejudice remains to
prevent the full appreciation of pure-bred
animals. 1t seems easier to 90 on breed
ing to the cheap sire, and to buy one of
the cheaper kinds, the way times are, and
thus cheap stock is raised to sell cheap;
but the pure-bred colts and cattle eat nc
more and sell for double the price
A poultry writer says that the dust bath
is not merely matter of fanciful benefit
to the fowls. 1t is the same to them as a
water bath to the human biped, and more,
for it not only helps to free their plumage
from dirt, but dislodges insect enemies
from their skins. Their appreciation Of
its value is sufficiently attested by the use
they make of it when they have the

lows;-I want to say to farmers, plant less
corn and more root crops for winter food

white Jerusalem artichoke four years.
They excel other root crops by their not
being injured by freezing and thawing in
the ground during winter. They need not
be gathered and stored away as other roots,
thus saving great amount oflabor. They
Withstand either dry or wet weather better
than other crops and can be planted either
in spring or fall. The way we feed them
to hogs is just to turn them in when the
tubers are matured and let them root the
tubers from the ground. Cows, calves,
and colts winter nicely on them. For
these we pillow out and pit for winter feed
ing. After the first planting there are
always enough tubers left in the ground to
produce the next crop.

A SPELLING LESSON.

From the Youths Companion.
There lived man in Mexico.
Who all his life did battle
To rightly spell such easy words
As Nahuatlacatl.
He wrote the names of all the towns,
II took of ink bottle,
But could not spell Tenoehtitian,
Nor plain Tiacatecotl.
He went to spelling school each day,
And though man Of mettle,
He could not conquer Topilizin
Nor Huitzilopochetl.
He dweIt some time in Yucatan,
And there, at Tzompautilli,
He learned to spell one little word.
Twas Zluhonolpilli.
The joy ofspelling just one word
Did all his mind unsettle;
But, spelling still, he ehoked at last
On Popocatepetl.
