A Word About Incubator.,

Do not be deceived with the idea
that incubators need no care. The
vest that can be made require atten-
ton; but as an incubator matches out
hundreds of chicks at once, the care
bestowed is not great, considering the
vast amount of work performed. as
compared with Matching by the aid of
hens An incubator can be made to
hatch at any time, but not so with The
hens We are aware that failures may
at times occur, but then the hens often
fail. They break their eggs, abandon
their nests, trample their chicks, and
do many other things which place
them at disadvantage also. The in
cubator is an inanimate machine, and
requires intelligence in its manage
ment and 4 the operator is unwilling
to devote portion of his time to sup
plying the brain work he cannot ex-
pect to meet with success. The hen is
governed by natural instinct, and yet
she needs watching to certain eX-
tent. 1t is only by intelligent labor
that results are to be expected. -

Changes wrought by Time.

No one who has studied the Ameri-
can systems of farming can doubt the
assertion that many changes are com
ing to the farmers of this country.
Some of the evolutions have been in
sight for number of years, and some
have come to light only in the past
year or two. The cheapening of val
ues is a. Z opener of the most poten-
tial interest, since the old lines are
being abandoned, some of them never
to be renewed, and other industries
that have been temporarily taken up
to bridge over the depression will re-
main. To illustrates: Dairying has su-
perseded the raising of steers Hogs
are more profitable than steers. Ten
years ago ninety-five per cent. of the
sheep were Merinos, which then
meant wool bearers. Mutton has
come to stay, with wool as an incl
dent. The wheat of the future will
be raised for feed in this country, or
not raised at ALL Rural World.

THE LAW MAKERS OF GERMANY.
Powers and Limitations of the Imperial
Legislature.


Legislature.
It must be remembered that the Ger
man system of government is federal,
j. e.. that the powers of government
are divided between two sets of gov
ernmental organs, viz, the imperial
government and the states. AS is.usual
in such a system, the powers of the
central government are enumerated
and the powers of the states are resid-
uary.
The imperial legislature can there
fore legislate only upon given subjects
enumerated in the constitution.
These subjects are, briefly, foreign
relations, foreign commerce. interstate
commerce, the monetary system, the
military system, the naval system, the
imperial revenue, citizenship, the i'm
perial territories, the civil law, and
criminal law-the same subjects that
are assigned by the constitution of the
United States to congressional legisla-
ton, with the very important addi-
tions of the topics of civil or private
law and criminal law. The power of
the congress of the United States in re-
gard to these topics is distinctly linn
tied, and the general power over them
is reserved to the states. In fact, the
chief work of the states in legislation
is the modification, supplementing and
adjustment of the common law in re-
gard to private rights and crime.
1t will thus be seen that the legisla-
tive powers of the German imperial
Legislature are vastly greater than
those of the congress of the United
States, while the Legislative powers of
the German states, as compared with
those of the states of this Union, are
reduced in the same proportion. The
German statesmen and jurist had the
constitution of the United States be-
fore them in the fashioning of their
own, and deliberately chose to depart
from it in this respect, and have one
civil or private law and one criminal
law for the whole empire. Evidently
to them the federalism of the future is
to be a federalism in administration
rather than in Legislation. -Chau-

,Irhe "old Time" Huskine Bee.

story is told of husking bee devil
try in the pioneer days of Dexter
Capt Small, one of the first corners,
after he had grown to the dignity of
having big barn, gave a husking, to
which a large and merry party gath
cred. While the supper was progress
ing, and the coast was clear, some of
the boys" drove one of the captains
steers into the barn floor, and attach
ing rope to him, lifted him up over
the high beams to the top of the hay
Inow. They were so spry about it that
the joke was not discovered. The steer
WAS missed, of course, and a search of
al the surrounding country was made
without success. The animal was given
UP for lost, when one day, a week after
1he husking, the captain was in his
barn and heard long moo up in the
Fidge pole. Looking up, there was the
missing steer gazing calmly down at
hing over the high beam. Such was the
js<ftthe daddies had in their young
days. Modern huskings are more pro-

CORN CUTTER

Ohio Farmer. Then the blade is
ground to an edge from one side only.
The result of this is an edge serrated
and toothed like saw; but the cut
ting edge of each tooth is smooth like
that of knife, and the blade can be
sharpened on a grindstone like any
knife. The advantage of this knife is
that it sticks wherever it touches, and
it cuts too. 1t requires only half as
much effort to cut hill of corn with
this cutter as with the smooth cutters.

RESULT OF THE DIsPENSARY LAW.


Constable and Citizen Killed in a Battle at
Blackville, S. G.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 30.-At 2:30 p.
m. a bloody tragedy was enacted at
Blackville whereby Solomon Brown
and John Gribben, dispensary con-
stable, were killed. The double killing
was the result of an old feud between
Gribben and the influential Brown. Mr..
Gribben went to the depot and opened a
ease of dry goods consigned to Solomon
Brown, ostensibly for the purpose of
Selling contraband whisky. Simon
Brown, the father of Solomon, met
Gribben On the street later and re-
preached him for opening his package,
accusing him of persecution. The quar-
rel waxed warm and Brown was joined
by his sons, Solomon, Isadore and Her
man. Gribben offered to fight any one
Of them, and Isadore. % years old,
Accepted the Challenge.
Gribben struck at him, but the blow
was parted and Brown knocked Crib
ben down. At this juncture pistols
were drawn and six or seven shots were
fired in quick succession. Gribben was
shot through the left shoulder and near
the heart. He staggered into store,
firing at the same time, at the Browns.
A bullet struck Solomon Brown, who
fell half way to the ground. Gribben
continued his firing and one bullet
penetrated Solomon Browns head, kill
ing him instantly. Another bullet
penetrated his heart. When Gribben's
pistol was emptied he walked through
the store to the lack yard, where he
fell and died in 10 minutes.

temporarily put aside the business of

few troublesome foreign questions de-
manding his presence here for while
at least. He will shortly, however, take

A Unique Prescription For the Live.

A young clerk whose sedentary life
and lack Of exercise have left him with
sluggish liver and all the evil conse-
quences thereof visited a well known
physician recently and was advised to
regulate his diet to the utmost plain
ness and to take horseback exercise daily.
The young man frankly told the doctor
that he could not afford to keep or to
hire o horse. The doctor asked him
where he was employed and was told
that he was clerk in certain corpora
ton which is housed in an enormous
building on Broadway, and that his
office was on the tenth floor
Quoth the doctor: That's just the
thing. You don't need to hire horse.
Walk briskly down the 10 flights of
stairs three times day, and it will do
your liver just as much good as if you
were jolted on horseback during an
hours ride
The gentleman's friends will proba-
bly, appreciate after they have read this
why he persists in walking down stairs
at good gait instead of taking the ele-
vator. The doctor added that no excer-
else was more gently stimulating than
walking down stairs and nothing more
severe than walking up stairs.
