now TO KILL CHICKENS.

A novel method of killing chickens
is being introduced abroad. Instead
OF sticking, bleeding, cutting the head
of, etc., one takes the fowl in the left
hand by the legs, catching the points
OF the wings to prevent the fowl from
tapping. He lifts the fowl up, the
head hanging downward. With the
right hand he takes the head, catch
ing the neck between the first and
third fingers, the thumb being on the
tace. The fingers must not crush the
head, but must feel the bone at the
back of the head firmly. Death is
caused by lifting the left hand and
pulling down the right with a quick
jerk, thereby dislocatiug the neck at
the very point where it joins the
head.
Death is instantaneous if done prop.
erly, which can be told by feeling the
neck, which ought to be quite soft and
entirely detached from the head, so
that there is nothing but flesh and
skin between the thumb and finger.
By this method there is no flow of
blood, but the blood is allowed to run
into the head, which is carefully kept
hanging down until after the bird is
plucked. New York World.

CULTURE OF THE HYAc1NTH.

This variety of lily may be grown
either in soil or water. The former
method is for ordinary garden culture,
in which the bulbs are set out in a dry
part of the garden In rich soil, with
plenty of leaf mold in it, and four
inches below the surface. To avoid
danger from hard frosts the bed is
covered with leaves, held in place by
some fine brush or pine boughs. For
water culture, the dry bulbs are set on
the top of glass vase or bottle, made
for the purpose, with the bottom Just
touching the water, in late October
and on until December, SO that there
may be a succession of bloom through
the winter. After the bulbs have
bloomed they may be set out in the
garden to ripen for the next year e
growth. In the garden this pretty
plant blooms early in the spring. The
bulbs may be set out in the open
ground next month. New York

teen years old.
Everybody knows the strangely as
sociated couple, who always were ac-
compained in their walks by small
terrier, and who were presumed TO be
father and daughter. The girl has
lived with the blind man ever since
she was a child. She has developed
into one of the handsomest young
women in Chelsea. She is tall, ex-
cellently proportioned and has great,
sparkling black eyes. She is always
attired in the height of fashion. -

off the roots just beneath the surface
OF the soil. In some places large
areas are entirely destroyed, not a
green spear of grass being allowed to
grow. In other localities there are
large spots entirely killed and the re-
mainder more or less injured, making
the grass very thin where there is any.
These worms are the larve of the large
brown beetle called the June bug.
The skunks, where they have been
allowed to live, have dug in and eaten
these grubs in vast numbers, the
crows also assisting them greatly in
the good work. Last year the beetles
we're not so numerous as in former
years, owing no doubt to the depreda-
tions of these two agencies.
Skunks do no damage to field crops
to speak of, their only mischief con
sisting in depredations on chickens
and eggs during the night, and that
could all be avoided if the farmers
took proper care of their poultry.
There are other depredators that
would seize them if left exposed.
There is no excuse whatever for leav
ing chickens overnight where skunks
can have access to them. They can.
not open doors nor climb up after
eggs in the nest boxes. Instead of
killing skunks for these reasons,
farmer had better look after his poul.
try.
The skunk will not leave any scent
unless attacked; in fact, they are as
harmless as cats and much more so
than dogs. I have kSd them come
into the barn in daytime while I was
at work, passing by me so close that
their long shaggy fur almost brushed
my legs. l fed them every day with
bits of meal, when they would sit
down within two feet of me and eat it.
They would walk about among the
poultry, never offering to touch one
of them. They kept this up through
the spring until the ground was bare,
when they disappeared. They find
plenty of mice and grasshoppers in
the fields and pastures in some sea-
sons of the year, but the early spring
months while the snow covers the
ground seem to be the hardest time
for them. think the virtues of the
skunk have not been duly appreciated.

DANCERS OF rrru1roaNrs.

Medical science up to date offers no ex.
cuse whatever for The use OF alcoholic bev-
erages, and very little for alcoholic medi-
cines. 50 rapid has been fhe advance of
science since it undertook the serious con-
sidcratton Of the matter that within another
year or two we confidently expect TO find
the medical profession sohdly arrayed
against its use, except ne other dangerous
drugs are used in emergencies.
When that time comes we may expect
with equal confidence that it will become
deeply and earnestly interested in the dis
covery and use Of means by which those
who have been diseased by its use may be
restored to health. Ithas only been few
years since the chronic disorders following
the use OF alcoholic liquors have been classe1
rs diseases, and even yet there are great
many medical men who contend that they
are not, and therefore not durable by medi-
cal treatment
Now that IL is conceded that alcoholic
liquors are directly and indirectly the most
fruitful causes of insanity in its many FORMS
ranging from incurable melancholy TO brief
attacks OF frenzy, it ought to be apparent to
any reasoning person that the proper and
the only rational way in which TO check this
trlghtful disease is to remove the cause.
Not only does liquor render men insane
for the time being and dangerous while un-
der its influence, but in many instances the
condition becomes chronic, Us tho records
kept by asylums for the insane show.
This would be bad enough, but there is q
worse phase! The children of those who are
afflicted with this terrible nervous disorder
are apt to inherit defective nervous systems,
and are likely to follow in the footsteps Of
their parents or become the victims OF other
forms Of nervous disorders. any of which
may render them inyalids for life.-Banner

WHISKY AND vAaABoxpAaE.

There is one other cause of vagrancy more
potent than all have described, and its
name is-whisky. The love of liquor brings
more men and women into trampdom than
anything else and until this fact is more
conscientiously recognized there can be no
thorough treatment OF the tramp. There is
no need to enter into details on this subject.
all that can do is to report the fact. The
public needs to realize moro fully than it
now does the awful effects of strong drink on
vagabonds. A realization of this fact is
likely to be productive of some remedy for
the evils it represents. If the tramps of
America could be freed from the bondage
into which whisky has brought them. there
would not be very many yagrants in the
country. That the American tramp is the
result of the fluctuations of the elasor-market,
as some claim, do not believe. The Ameri-
can tramp does not want work, as n rule; but
l know that he does want to be free from
liquor. And if this can be accomplished. /
feel safe in saying that he will go TO work.
Under the influence of drink he becomes a
sort Of voluntary idler; but il he were tenn
perate, he could be made a valuable citizen.

Snhlect 70 Elecirlc shocks.

Mrs. Archibald Rankin, living in
Hickory Township, Penn, two miles
east of Sharon, was subjected to an
electrical shock last Friday that par
alyzed her left side, and she is in a
critical condition. Her case is phe-
nomensl, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. She seems to be n human
attraction for electricity, and in every
electrical storm she is more or less
shocked by lightning. About ten
years ago she suffered a shock from q
bolt of lightning that rendered her
powerless. Every year since then she
has suffered, and it is common oc.
currence for physicians to be dis.
patched from Sharon to revive her So
regular has this phenomenon become
that she has been provided with a
chair that rests on glass insulators,
commonly used on telegraph poles.
Mrs. Rankin considers herself free
from danger in the chair, where she
remains until the storm is over. When
she suffered the shock on Friday she
had abandoned the chair, not suspect
ing that she would be subjected to
another shock.

CARING roR RRoo,rE conN.

The broom corn crop is of vast i'm
portance, and it is quite proper to
give some consideration as to how the
crop may be best cared for.
Quality and condition control the
value OF broom corn as we'll as other
commodities, and best condition can
be especially obtained by following
certain rules and methods in caring
for the crop. Cutting should be done
before the corn is bleached out, as
color is essential, and when green the
brush possesses advantages both in
attractiveness and for working. When
cut corn should be, as soon as posi-
BILE, hauled under cover, and have the
seeds removed by running through the
scraper. This done, it should be
placed on shelves so arranged as to
admit of free circulation of air. In
about ten days, if the weather is dry
and all conditions are favorable. the
corn will be ready to bale. 1t should
be thoroughly examined, however, to
see that 1T is dry and cured.
After the broom corn is thoroughly
dry, the next step is to bale, and this
operation should receive great care
and attention, there are too many
shaky and lop-sided bales received an.
nually, and it bothers those who ham
die them to keep them from falling
apart 1t being Of great Importance
to keep the ends of the bales square
and smooth, the brush should be
handed to the packer in small lots,
the butts of which, having been
eyened by striking down upon a table
or other smooth surface, and the one
who places the brush in the box of
the press should take care to keep the
butts up close against the ends of the
box and the brush properly Tapped in
the interior. Use No. 9 fence wire.
five to the bale, and it is not bad
idea to have lighter wire to tie az
each corner, and press sufficiently to
have good, compact, tight bale which
will endure the long journey and the
handling, No matter how carefully
and successfully every step in the pro.
duction of the brush has been per
formed, the profit of the crop will de-
pend, other things equal, upon proper
baling. Great care and attention
should be given to have the seeds re.
moved; there is too much fraud prac-
tieed by baling up trash, seeds and
crooked corn in the bales with straight
brush. Bale the crooked by itself. -
