Ill many practical ways. The latest

rlous crops best suited to the lands of
the colonlsts aud the best methods of
preserving and applying the various
manures. The bulletin is published
In French and English on alternate
pages, and will be of great assistance
to the Waldenses, whose methods of
agriculture differ essentially from
those best suited to their new hold
lngs. We are glad to be able to state
IN this connection that the Waldenses.

THE POULTRY YARD
About Breeds.

fDr- q. NJ. Twitchell in Farm Journal !
Not only must one be more or less
OF an enthusiast, but the variety that
which his fancy dictates. One man
with love for Brahmas will realize
many times as much as his neighbor,
who attempts their culture because
| somebody else succeeds; or another
| full Of admiration for the Leghorns,
will score grand success after repeated
failures with the larger breeds. The
ideal Of excellence in the individual
| breeder has more TO do with success
than the breed; any variety may be
| transformed to meet the requirements
Of the breeders. 1t was this spirit of
| unrest, this desire to combine in a still
more marked degree the essentials of
all breeds, that first led to the crosses
resulting in the Plymouth Rocks. a
variety ranging second to none to-day
in this country. BY the application Of
the same principle, wedding out the
inferior ones, breeding only from the
best and feeding for specific results, 1
believe it possible for any farmer to
take what he now has, and very soon
reach an average of thirteen dozen
yearly, with small flocks.
To-day there is wanted a broad body.
deep and full in the breast, with legs
well apart, legs and neck short rather
than long, bird giving the greatest
weight with least waste. For such the
purchaser will pay fancy price. In
some sections there is demand for
selected colored eggs Of uniform size,
but | fancy the breeder of Spanish |
classes can realize as much if he as |
carefully selects and markets the white |
ones. The difference in quality is not
in color Of shell, but in the food supply
from which they were constructed.
Flavors come from the food in eggs, as
well az in milk. Let the breeding be
to Fix the tendencies of heredity. In
creased size, early maturity, desired
form and greatest production will in
this way be secured, with an upward
tendency all the while being main
For the average farmer or
mechanic wanting eggs and poultry,
and without time to study the problem
OF breeding and to cultivate and i'm
prove on the work of the specialists,
high grades will give better results
than pure bloods. 1t is easier to i'm
prove with grade hens of one variety,
using always pure bred male, than to
mold an even keel with pure FLOODED
stock.

Historic Doubts.
Wilmington Messenger. |

The greatest native Jurist of North
Carolina in the last sixty years was
probably the late Justice Pearson.
One of the most elegant writer's, and
ablest lawyers and most accomplished
gentlemen of our State was certainly
the late Judge Archibald D. Murphy.
Both of these able men knew the
late Peter S. Ney personally, and
both said he was Marshal Ney. We
refer to them to introduce the follow
ing which, we suppose, first appeared
IN North Carolina paper, but we
don't know the one. We find the
statement in the Atlanta Constitution
of Monday last:
"Ihe author of the recent book en-
titled HISTORIC Doubts as to the Exc
cution of Marshal Ney,' has submitted
his work to four judges of the SUPERIOR
court of North Carolina and to an
ex-judge who is now a member of Con-
gress. They have united in the follow
ing statement: I'VE have read your
book with a great deal of care, and our
verdlct as impartial judges is this:
I GU have proven beyond reasonable
doubt that Peter S. Ney was Marshal
Ney.'"
After we had read the book with
SO much pleasure and satisfaction our
mind was made up for all time un-
less Marshal Ney's son, Count Napo-
leon Ney, of France, should say that
his father was shot to death and has
been in his grave for we'll nigh eighty
years. We believe Mr.. VISIONS case
is proved by an array of evidence that
IS overwhelming. That letter he gives
at the close from a correspondent in
France clinches the nail.
We are glad to see it mentioned in
New York paper that the first edi-
ton OF this remarkable book is nearly
exhausted. 1t ought to have a big
sale for it is of extraordinary interest.

FOUNDERS OF OUR LAWS,

History has no record of a more
august assemblagc Of men than the
constitutional convention Of 1877.
1t was composed in large degree of
the men who had rendered important
service in the halls Of legislation or
upon the field Of battle. Franklin and
Hamilton, Morris and Sherman, Ran
dOlph and Madison, Pinckney and
Rutledge, were fit associates for Wash
lngton in the great work Of formula
ting the conSttution-thc great law
OF laws-tor free people.
lmperishable forever be the fame of
the men who, inspired by wisdom
more than human, laid broad and
deep the foundations of our free insti-
tutlons-a government by the people,
and having for its bedrock the intel
hgence, the virtue and the patriotism
OF the people. Listen to the preamble
OF It's matchless instrument:
1--WE, the people Of the United States,
III ORDER TO form more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tram

Philadelphia Farm Journal. |

Send the old hens to market now i
they have ceased to lay.
1t is unwise to hold chicks for better
| prices that are fit for broilers in June
Sell them and pocket the cash.
| Let the chicks run in the garden for
the first ten days of their lives, then
locate them where they can not find
the garden again.
If you have patch OF pumpkins or
squashes colonize few broods in it..
They will not harm the crop but will
find bugs and grateful shade.
June chicks are easy to raise, and
with the abundance of bugs and grass
will grow up quickly and make good
breeders. 1t is season especially
favorable for Matching the smaller
breeds.
The weather is warm enough now
and it is folly to load fowls down with
fat by feeding heating and fattening
foods. Let them have grass, vegetables,
bugs and worms and but little grain.
See that houses and coops are we'll
ventilated now. Many chicks die of
suffocation in hot weather. Throw the
doors and windows wide open. Protect
from night providers if necessary by
the use of wire netting.
Put dash ofred paint on the left
wing of your turkeys, let your neighbors
paint theirs on the right wing or on
the shoulder. Have an agreement in
the matter and then there will be
greater harmony in the fall.
1t does not take long to 90 over the
perches of the hen house with a white
wash brush dipped in kerosene oil and
saturate them thoroughly, and it pays
well for the cost of oil and labor in the
comfort it gives the occupants. The
red mites that congregate on the perches
during the day are nightly torment
to the flocks.

Five Cents a Day for Food.

BY giving a change Of food from
grain to something bulkya great saw
ing may be made. A pound of clover
and quart of bran should not cost
over two cents, yet it should be a
meal for 20 hens, and a good meal at
that, for it is a combination which is
conducive to egg production. The next
morning pound of cut meat and bone
should serve as a meal, and it need not
cost over a cent. At night two
pounds of wheat or corn, costing about
2 cents, should answer. A flock of 20
hens can he fed for cents day, and
if but three eggs per day are received
in winter they will pay for all the food
for the hens.

CHICAGO, ILL, June %. 80 A. M.-The
big whaleback excursion steamer Christie
pher Columbus, which left Milwaukee at s
O'Clock last evening with 600 people on
board, has not reached here, and great an
xiety is felt for the safety of those on board
The boat was due here at IL o'clock.
The excursion season proper opened
yesterday, and the great boat, which two
years ago carried thousands of people tc
the Worlds Fair from her downtown dock
left for Milwaukee with passenger-hst
of 600.
The dock was we'll peopled at the usual
hour for the boats arrival, but as the time
sped on the nervousness which permeated
the throng grew into fright, and the news
that the boat was long overdue was re-
peated throughout the city.
The crowd grew steadily and at o. clock
admission was refused to late arrivals.
The agents of the company laughed al
the alarm of those who besieged the Office
and said the Columbus would surely ar.
rive soon and delay was undoubtedly
caused by break in her machinery.
So the time wore on until o'clock when
a telephone message from the outer crib

that her machinery had been disabled
She will dock before "A. NJ.
Later.-The big steamer reached her
dock about 8 AS A. NJ.
The first passenger down the gangplank
gave the intelligence that terrible acct
dent had occurred.
a steam pipe connecting one boiler with
five smaller ones had burst and scalded
fifteen or twenty persons, three or four of
whom it is thought will die.
A panic ensued, the cry of fire" alarm
