what animals and insects should be killed,
with the reason, and also what should be
preserved in order to afford protection to
the farmer. The people are placed upon
honor with respect to these boards by
putting the following sentence at the
head of the boards: "This board is
placed under the protection Of the com.
mon sense and honesty of the public" !"
Some Of the instructions that follow
are these
Hedgehog lives upon mice, snails and
wire worms animals injurious to agricul-
ture. Do not kill a hedgehog
'Toad helps agriculture, destroys
twenty to thirty insects hourly, Don't
kill toads.
"Mole destroys wire worms, larvae, and
insects injurious to the farmer. No trace
Of vegetable is ever found in his stomach.
Does more good than harm. Don't kill
moles.
"Cockchafer and it's larv@ deadly
enemy to farmers; lay seventy to 100 eggs.
Kill the cockchafer.
"Birds-Each department Of France
loses yearly millions Of francs by the in
jury done by insects. Birds are the only
enemy capable Of battling with them Wig
orously; they are great helps to farmers
Children, don't take birds nests"
Among the animals that need killing
are mice and rats, and the reason why
they often increase with great rapidity
in spite Of the warfare constantly waged
upon them by cats and dogs, is stated to
be because the boys on the farm kill the
animals that would otherwise destroy
these pests il they had a chance, Every
dweller in the country should seek to
obtain information as to what forms Of
life are helpful and what injurious to the
farming interests, SO that the former may
be conserved and the latter destroyed

Wlntar Care.

winter more depends upon the care and
management given than any other thing.
Nothing can take the place Of good man
agement at any time, but during the
winter this is especially the case.
II is not only necessary to feed we'll
but to supply ration that best meets
the purpose for which it is given. Hens
that are to lay eggs regularly need rather
a different ration to what should be
given when the fowls are being fattened
Cor market. One Of the most important
items in the management Of poultry is
to supply comfortable shelter. No mat
ter how we'll fed hens will not lay with
anything like regularity unless in addi-
tion they are supplied with good quar-
ters, and the good feeding will in a great
measure be wasted as no income will be
secured. Another item is to feed and
water regularly. AS the fowls must de-
pend very largely upon the food supplied
to them, care should be taken to supply
at regular times if the most is to be
made out Of them.
The first feed should be given as soon
in the morning as the hens fly down
from the roosts If this can be warm,
soft feed, all the better, At noon small
grain can be fed. Whole wheat is one
of the best that can be given and espe-
cially to the laying hens. Sorghum seed,
oats, barley, buckwheat, or almost any
thing of this kind can be used for the
noon feed.
Especially when the weather is SO cold
or stormy that the fowls must be con-
fined the greater portion Of the time it
will nearly always be best to scatter the
grain fed at noon among litter Of some
kind. like straw or forest leaves. This
is to induce or make them scratch and
not only helps to keep them out Of mis-
chief, but secures better health. A good
laying hen is naturally an industrious
one and if she ia not busy hunting food
will be almost sure to be hunting mis-
chief.
The feed at night in nearly all cases
can be whole corn. This should be given
just before they go on the roosts and
they should have all that they will eat
up clean. 1t is one OF the very best
foods that can be given to maintain ami
NAL heat and this is an important item
during the winter. The nights are long
and stock fowls will get very hungry be-
fore morning and whole corn is good
feed on this account. Fresh water
should be supplied daily. They should
not be compelled to drink cold ice water
and good plan is to give good supply
twice day at least
The fowls should not be crowded.
They must have room il they keep
healthy, and good health is necessary to
good laying. Cabbage that failed to
head, the small turnips, potatoes, apples
and beet can be fed to take the place Of
green food. Tufts Of sorghum or sun
flower seed, or bunches OF wheat or oats
can be hung up just high enough to
compel the fowls to jump up in order to
secure the grain in them. This is an.
other good way Of affording an opportu-
nifty for exercise. Then the nests must
be warm and clean, supply good mate
rial for them, and gather the eggs as

TOM FORD PARDONED.

of New Orleans Recalled.

The story of One of the Noted Grimes
of New Orleans Recalled.
New Orleans, La, March 11.-Thomas X
Ford, who was sentenced 10 the peniten-
tiary for twenty. years on account of his
connection with the killing of Capt"
Murphy in this city about eleven years
ago, was pardoned to-day by Gov. Fos-
ter the board of pardons having recon-
mended it.
At the time of his conviction Ford was
recorder Of the Second Municipal district
court. There had long been trouble be
tween him and Murphy. This feeling was
the result of a jealousy about a woman,
and = recontre between the men was ex-
pected at any time.
On Dec 1, 1884, Murphy was shot down
and killed while In charge of a street
gang. and the killing was subsequently
proved to be a cold-blooded assassina-
ton, in which Ford and a number of his
fellows were engaged Murphy was not
given the smallest chance for his life
by those who shot him. The bullets were
fired while he was Juggling at the buttons
of his CVercoat so that he could get his
pistol free and use it.
Ford and four others were indicted for
murder. on the occasion of the first trial
of the accused crooked work was discov-
discharged and a mistrial entered by or
der of the judge.
When the accused were tried the second
time, Patrick Ford and John Murphy
We're convicted of murder in the first de-
gree, and Thomas j. Ford, W. E. Can
field and W. H. Buckley were convicted
of manslaughter, and on March 10, 1885,
were sentenced to the penitentiary for
twenty years each
OF the five men who were tried for the
murder Tom Ford is the only one alive
to-day. Despite all the pressure bought
to bear on the case John Murphy and
Patrick Ford were hanged in the yard of
the old parish prison on Orleans street.
Just prior to their execution both men
took dose of poison which had been
Struggled to them inside of the prison,
but this awaited them nothing, as they
were hanged in almost a dying condition.
Tom Ford made desperate effort to save
his brothers neck by confessing that he
alone killed Capt. Murphy. but this move
was totally without effect.
Buckley and Garfield were pardoned
and died a short time after they were
given this clemency Ford, the insti-
gator of the whole trouble, is the only man
alive to-day of the five men who were
directly connected with the affair

Orlando, Fla, March n.-Deputy Sheriff
Gordon on Saturday returned from Waldo,
having in charge a man who has been quite
conspicuous in Orlando for the past two
or three months. Here he passed as a
saint or something akin thereto. But it
seems his real purpose was the dissemina-
ton of vile pictures and books among boys
and young men. If all that is said of his
transactions is true, he has reached a low
depth of depravity, and was seeking to
educate young men down to his level. He
was brought before Justice Martin this
morning, waived examination, and was
held in $500 bail for trial in the criminal
court, which is now in session.

property for some time, but it had been
so scattered By the thief that it was only
