HAD A FAMOUS NAMESAKE.
Patrick Henry. Of Old Forge, Clogs tht
Wheels of Justice.

1t is not often that there Is a jury
trial before an alderman, and the one
before Alderman Wright yesterday
was an amusing novelty. 1t was in the
case Of Attorney A. A. Vosburg against
Constable Patrick Henry, of Old Forge,
who is no relative Of the famous Revo-
lutionary patriot, but takes great pride
in the name nevertheless.
On March 80. 1895, the constable's
property was sold at sheriff's sale on
executions held by John Atherton, Will
lard Atherton and Albert Rumble, of
Taylor. 1t was purchased by Attorney
Vos'burg for the creditors, but Henry
refused to vacate.
The suit was Brought to compel him
to vacate. Eugene Davis, George c..
Wilson, G. l.. Preston, s. w. Roberts.
Charles ]. Virgins and John j. Mar
shall were the jury. They gave a ver-
diet against the man of patriotic no.
menclature, and if he does not vacate
now he will be evicted.

ODD THIEVES THESE,
Two Houses Entered in Broad.Daylight
but Nothing Is Stolen,

Chief Simpson yesterday received two
different reports of operations of sneak
thieves in the central city.
c. p. Matthews, of 523 North Wash
ington avenue, reported that during the
absence of his family on Thursday his
house was ransacked but nothing was
missing. John T. Howe, of 1O11 Null
berry street, reported a like case and
remarkable to say nothing was taken
by the intruders. The furniture in many
rooms of both houses were turned
topsy turvey, but nothing was damaged
or stolen. The police are at loss to
explain why the maranders did not
take anything away with them.

Attorney S. B. Price, acting for D. c.
Gibbs, of Benton township, filed a suit
for damages in the sum of $500 yester-
day in court against Dewilton Sweet.
The claim against Mr.. Sweet is based
upon what is alleged to be his action in
going out in boat upon the water of
Baszett pond in said township, and with
rod and line devoting his time and tal-
ent to Turing the finny tribe to his mess
basket.
His first offense Is dated as May /,
1890, keeling it up right along until June

DEPARTURE OF THE TROOPS.
Thirteenth Regiment Starts for the Camp
Ground at Mt. Grctna.

The Inevitable 1.-THE Girl Left Be-
hind Me-" played by the drum corps,
which headed the regiment as 1t
marched down Lackawanna avenue
last night told the whole story of the
departure.
Fully nine-tenths OF the large throng
which assembled to see the soldiers off
was Of the female persuasion. A man
not in uniform was nonentity In the
eyes OF that throng, and well the soldier
boys deserved the attentions that were
bestowed upon them and the plaudits
that greeted them for they certainly
looked stunning"
They left the armory at $50 and
marched direct to the cars, which were
backed in at the Delaware and Hudson
station. The boys. however, were in no
hurry to get aboard. They had last in
functions to receive about writing every
day. and their had adieux to make, and
consequently they found the interim
only too short between their arrival at
the cars and the departure of the trian
When the signal, ''all aboard" was
given and the train started out,
hearty cheer was given by the as
semblage which was returned by the
soldiers. Then followed waving of
hands and kerchiefs until the last car
was lost in the darkness and the 500
soldier lads departed from our midst
for seven days.
BY the appearance of the cars, the
preparations that were going on and
the spirits Of those aboard It would be
quite safe to Judge that there would
be some sleep lost during the night
In fact 1t looked as II not one was CIV
ing the matter Of sleep any considera-
tion whatever.

Poultry Farming.

A sandy loan with good natural
drainage is best. Without any at
tempt at systematic farming, all the
food necessary for any number of fowls
can be raised without any additional
outlay for labor. When it is intended
to raise chickens for market, it is best
to colonize the fowls at different places
as far apart as possible, fifty Or sixty
hens with their complement of cocks,
are as many as should be kept at one
point. Such a colony should turn out
from 500 to 700 broilers in May, be-
sides a large number of later chicks
and eggs for market. Any number of
colonies which the premises will ad-
NIT may be established. but each
should be u separately and should
have abundant range. For feed, corn,
sweet potatoes, sorghum, small grain
of different kinds and a barley or oat
patch for green picking in winter,
should be raised. Flowing. more or

The City Chicken.

Not a few people in cities want to
raise chickens in order to have fresh
eggs at home. Where they have a lit
tie grass they may succeed in raising
a clutch or two, but if they have only
a small back yard and no grass we
don't think it often pays them, and
believe it would pay better to buy a
dozen or two good young hens of some
good laying breed every two or three
years. and not attempt the raising.
The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1895-10-18

The selection of the breed is now
an important question for the beginner
to decide. who buys eggs from the fan
cy varieties, and sets them under com
mon hens, to get a few thoroughbred
breeders for the next season. All
breeds have their admirers and also
have certain valuable points. 1t is
for the beginner to decide what kind
he wishes, whether for eggs alone, or
large size principally, or a little of
both. We have plenty of breeds
among domestic poultry, that will fill
either requirement, and the beginner
should first fully decide what he wants,
and then make his selection in ac-
cordance with that decision.-Ex.

Baton Rouge, La.

COMMENCING in January, and lay
inguntil August. We knew two Pekln
ducks to lay 444 eggs in one year.
The feed was exceptional to produce
such a result.
NOT one mar or woman in fifty in
the South gives his poultry enough
clean fresh water, or enough feed; see
that you are not n of them if you
expect best results.
PEKIN duck eggs are about as good
for the table as hens eggs and better
for cakes or bread. Are not strong
odored like the puddle ducks egg.
About 6 weigh a pound. They will
lay 100 eggs per duck per annum if
well fed.
1000 Black Minorca or Brown Leg
horn hens will lay 10000 dozen eggs
per annum. If Minorcas they "a be
contracted at 20 to 25 cents per dozen,
if Leghorns Is to 20 cents. We will
take the average figure 90 cents, which
will figure up s ,4O0. The hens will
eat l bushel grain each at so cts. $500,
leaving a balance of $1900profit for your
labor. It will take about 100 bales of
cotton to bring 50, 400. How many
free niggers will it take to produce
100 bales and what will be the net
profit? Echo answers, Nothing"
WOULD you start a dairy with ten
dollar Mississippi or Louisiana COWS,
or would you procure forty dollar
blooded COWS, each giving as much
milk as four scrubs? This is a very
foolish question for any IN to ask, is
it not? Yet perchance the reader who
says the writer is a goose, is keeping
dunghiil hens that lay him one-fourth
as many eggs as some fine breed of
chicks would; yet he e no necessity

After one lot becomes too old to be of
profit as layers, eat or sell them, and
buy another lot of young hens. These
hens will have paid them well, saved
many adollar and given them the pleas
ure of eating nice large fresh eggs at
home instead of having to use the little
stale things they usually get in the
Southern markets. If they want to
raise for the meat they would get, it
would pay them much better to raise
Pekin ducks Or Belgian hares, eth
er of which will do better on small
space than chickens.

If you want a dog to protect your
poultry from rats, minks, skunks,

supply them with animal food, whole
some exercise and health, and will
keep them from roaming to an unsafe
distance from headquarters. If al or
chard be added it will be beneficial
both for food and shade. Plums,
peaches, mulberries and figs are best.
Sunfiowers should not be neglected
but abundantly planted, and may be
grown right among the fowls, or cul-
tivated same as ORR The care of the
breeding stock is easy enough. and
consists in good trees to roost in, plen-
ty of clean water. wholesome food and
shade, range, ETC., at will. To raise
a large number of chicks, however,
requires close attention and some pre-
vious preparation. Arrangements
should be made by which the broods
may be confined in a pen twenty to
forty feet square, each hen being con-
fined to a roomy coop, which should
be often moved, and the pen itself
should be raked every day or two for
the large breeds, broad planks set on
edge and held in place by stakes is
sufficient. or wire netting is better.
For Leghorns or any of the smaller
breeds, the height of two such planks
will be required. If the pen is kept
on the same ground during the season,
it should be frequently spaded up and
disinfected with a solution of sulphuric
acid in water, (acid n pound. water
twenty gallons.) After the hens are
turned out, a roomy mess coop should
be provided, wherein the chicks can
be fed free from the interference of
the grown fowls. The size of the
feeding coop should be apportioned
to the number of chicks to be accom-
modated, and should be made with
horizontal openings on all sides so
that the chicks a enter readily and
without crowding or trampling those
that are small and weak. This feed
ing should be removed to a fresh spot
at least twice a week.
When you find some of the young
chicks dropping or sick, separate them
from the well ones, and mOvet the brood
to a fresh place, and put a little cop
peras in the drinking water. Nine
times in ten this will stop the trouble.
Wood or coal ashes, lime, or what is
better than either, road dust sprinkled
in coops, runs, etc. are first class san
itary precautions. Properly managed,
there is no good reason why chickens
by the thousand cannot be marketed
from such an establishment. provided
that the fallacy is not entertained that
a thousand fowls require only a little
more labor and attention than a hun
dred.
The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1895-10-18

If you have fine chickens don't neg
lect them, but give them all they will
eat several times a day; make them all
the finer, it will pay to do so, as many
of your pullets will begin to lay a few
eggs at five and six months old. We
have every advantage i've the North
and West in poultry culture, and no
investment on the farm will pay a
larger profit. Only feed a little more
and give just a little more attention,
then note results.
