JlM'S LETTER.

Center, March /, 1885.
This writer having travelled over
good portion Of Southeast Attala
during the past week, is proud TO
note the industry and vim with
which the farmers are beginning
their operations for this year.
Large crops Of oats are being sown
Extra attention is being given to
stock of all kinds, especially
hogs, and on all sides we hear the
farmers say that this year they are
determined to raise all their sup
plies at home. In a great meas
ure this was done last year, and
nearly every one has his supplies
on hand this year. This is the
true way to combat hard times.

many intelligent voters among
them who will hold themselves
aloof from any convention or prl-

of any party obligation in the
choice of county and beat officers.

A Crime to Call n Baby Francis.

In ENGLAND it is not Il crime to desire to
call baby Francis. But in England
many hold that Setty runs 30 license. In
certain well ordered tracts of Germany it
is penal to call IA baby by that inilamma-
tory style. Tho prohibiting law was
passed in tho year IL, which sounds as if
time at least were ON its side. But it ap-
pears that really the law was passed in
Paris in revolutionary times to prevent
people naming their infants Robcspierre
which was justly regarded as menace
to social order. These parts of Germany
groanod at the time under the heel of
France and have not yet plucked up cour-
age to repeal tho enactment. It only al
lows names that are in the calendar OF in
ancient history A resident Englishman
has lately been fined marks for wanting
to name his infant Francis. He played Sir
Francis Drake as ancient history, but the
court of appeals could not conscientiously
go further than Franciskus, and the gen
tleman has been fined for not registering
the name until his appeal was decided. IL
was hard, but worse remains behind. The
fathers own name is Francis, and If he is
not very careful he will find himself IN
the dock for being in possession of contra
band.-Pall Mall Gazette.

ENGRAVED LETTERING.
The Processes Necessary to Performing the
Work on Copper or Steel.

The Processes Necessary to Performing the
Work on Copper or Steel
Lettering may DO described under three
hoads-largo lettering, such as bond titles;
small lettering, like that done on coupons,
cards and tickets and script or writing.
Some engravers can do good work in all
of these branches of lettering, but in large
establishments each man is kept employed
at that style in which he excels.
In bonds and stock certificates the titles
and script arc usually done on the plato
from which they are to be printed, bu
there is lot of small work, common to
jobs of that kind, which is done on what
arc called dies, or "bedpieces, and
transferred from the rolls to the plates
In large lettering u drawing of the out
line of the letters is made on paper to get
the shapes, curves and spacing correct A
tracing of this outline is then made on
gelatin, and after filling this with vermil
ion thin coating of wax is laid on the
plato and transfer of the gelatin tracing
fully marked through the wax on to the
plate The wax is taken off, and the art
ist is ready to begin his cutting.
Lettering on banknotes, if there Is to be
more than one note on plaue, is engraved
on dies, - or 'bedpicces, " and transferred
to the plate. This insures the exact dupli
cation of the material of each of the notes
and also makes it possible to reproduce
and retouch the work at any time.-Fron

Gems Found In Plants.

The assistant director of Kew gardens,
lecturing at the London institute on some
curiosities of tropical plant life, said that
among these were the pearls found coca
sionally in the cocoanut palm of the
Philippine islands, pearls which, like
those of the ocean, are composed OF carbo-
nate of lime. The bamboo, too, yields an
other precious product in the shape of true
opals, which are found in its joints in
each case this IMMORAL matter is of course
obtained from the soil. The natives of
the Celebes use these vegetable opals as

OVERRIDING POULTRY BUSINESS.

When I began years ago to pay a
great deal of attention to my poultry.
and when my neighIbors, seeing
that was making the poultry
pay very nicely, began to fol-
low in my footsteps, there were
some who began to predict that the
poultry business would be overdone.
They pointed out the fact that the
farm papers were paying more atten-
ton to this branch Of business than
ever before, and they were free in
their prophecies that it would not be
long before eggs could not be sold at
price that would pay for taking
them to market.
Since that time the poultry interests
have como to be one of the most i'm
portant in the country and bring In
more money than all the gold and sill
yer mines put together, and still eggs
are kept at price that makes them
bring 100 per cent. more than it costs
to produce them.
There are few farmers who realize
how much money comes from the
poultry and eggs that are produced
on the farm. If they will study the
matter up they will find that the hens
in the barnyard pay more for the
food they use than almost anything
else, in fact, except the indispensable
horse, whose value is hard to COM
pute, SO much depends on him.
The farmer can keep a hen a year
for less than so cents. This has been
proven time and again, and it is a
poor sort of a hen that will not pro-
duce ten dozen eggs a year, and the
average price is above 10 cents. AL
lowing that the cost of keep is 80
cents and eggs are but 10 cents a
dozen. average the year through, and
it will be seen that the farmer gets
81 for an expenditure of so cents.
If he keeps his poultry as he SHOULD,
the average price will be nearer 20
cents a dozen than 10 cents, for he will
get eggs in winter, when prices are
always high.
With all this increase in the pro-
ducts of the poultry-yards of the
country, there has never been a year
when we did not import eggs, and this
importation has not fallen off, except
as the tariff affected it, and a tariff
of cents dozen did not cut off I'M
portations entirely.
The United States is rapidly be-
coming a nation of poultry and egg
eaters, because the wholesomenesS of
poultry, and the relative cheapness
of eggs as compared with meats, is
becoming better understood all the
time and the result is that the de-
mand for poultry grows faster than
the supply is increased and the aver
age rises slowly year by year. No one
need hesitate about going into the
business of raising poultry from any
fear that there will be an over sup
ply. A low price always meets an
Increased demand, and this fosters
an appetite for eggs and poultry
which is satisfied when prices go up
again, and the business keeps on
growing 1t will keep on Indefinitely,
for poultry can be kept and will be
kept with profit when the country is
much more thickly populated than it
now iS.-Farm News.

FOR JOHNNY'S MOTHER.
A Few Suggestions That it Would
BE Well to Observe.


If you would retain Johnny's re-
spect, don't allow him to get the idea
that he must show more politeness to
a stranger than he does to you. Good
manners is not something that is put
on and off like a Sunday garment.
Johnny must make them a part of
himself, or they do him little good and
you little credit.
great deal has been said recently
about deceiving children, but not too
much, for many parents-good people.
too-think nothing of telling their lit
tie ones little white lies Don't do
it as you value your child's future
Don't be afraid to let Johnny have
all the fresh air he can possibly get.
Johnnys little sister. too, needs
plenty of outdoor exercise, and cannot
grow up into the healthy woman you
want her to be unless she gets it.
Remember that Johnny's sleeping
room-indeed, every sleeping room in
the house-needs an abundance Of
fresh air. Arrangements should be
made to allow little outside air into
the rooms at all times.
s Provide a separate bed for Johnny;
don't allow him to sleep with other
children, or with older persons.
Johnny's mind is very susceptible to
impressions. A wise mother can mold
it, or, at least, direct it in the right
way. You can interest him in the
good, the beautiful and the true, if
you will only take the pains and use
your womanly tact.
Don't in your efforts to make a nice
boy Of Johnny, make him a prig.
Teach him to be kind and gentle,
without being effeminate, to be cour-
ageous for the right, without being
''preachy," and in all things to be
noble and Observation-Disclosures ind.

BETTER BUY BONES THAN GRAIN.

Instead of buying bran, shorts or other
grain food, the farmer who keeps a large
number of fowls should seek to buy the
bones Qresh bonesl, from butchers, and
should have a bone-cutter to reduce these
to a suitable condition for feeding Meat
or bone, at three cents per pound, is far
cheaper than any kind of grain. The
bones supply the albumen, lime and grit
and also lessen the liability of making the
hens too fat. The droppings will be twice
as valuable as before. If fresh bones
cannot be obtained, then desiccated fish,
which is cooked and the oil pressed out of
it, or ground meat and bone, or steamed
meat may be used. These articles seldom
cost more than two cents per pound. A
pound of meat and bone, or fish, may be
allowed to sixteen hens once "a day, or
one ounce to each hen.
Grain is cheaper, apparently, but lean
meat contains three times as much flesh
forming matter as grain, and many times
more lime, as well as a fair proportion of
carbonaceouS matter, and lean meat
should always be used. Meat being three
times more valuable than wheat for pro-
duclng eggs, II is much cheaper; and, in
fact, as meat makes the hens lay, while
wheat cannot be relied upon, it is really
the cheapest of all foods. The food must
conform TO the demands of the hen for
egg material. If hen was allowed a
whole bushel of grain a day, she could
not eat enough OF 1t to provide the lime
for the shells, or the nitrogen for the
white of the egg, and She would soon be
too tat to lay at all.
A fair comparison between grain and
meat will show that meat is really cheap
er than grain, because il increases egg
production. 1t also contains less waste.
a hen kept on grain appropriates a large
share of it TO the storage of fat, which is
not desirable, while lean meat is almost
entirely heterogeneous. When farmers feed
more meat and less grain, they will have
larger profits from poultry. The intro
duction of the greell-bone cutter also les
sens the cost, as cheap bones and meat
can be cut fine and fed without the neces-
Sity of cooking the meat. The farmer
should not consider any kind of food ex-
pensive if it makes the hens lay The
most expensive food is that which pro-
duces no eggs.
1t is not to be inferred, however that
one must begin to cook and prepare
feasts for large numbers. If farmers can
be convinced that by feeding the hens on
foods that will give all the advantages of
table scraps, without SO many of the at
tendant disadvantages, they can be en-
same plane with dairying. Less capital is
required, and a smaller area of land is
necessary for poultry than for cattle
while the profits are all the year round
in the daily receipts of eggs. But to make
such business pay, the farmer must
abandon the belief that a hen can subsst
and give a profit on corn. He must also
accept the fact that poultry-raising is NOT
a work for women There is too much
work (hard work., cleaning the houses
and grounds, feeding, watering, repairing
dressing and shipping to market, for q
woman to do, unaided.-Farm and Fire
