Profitable Age of Hen
It has been claimed that the hen lays
the largest number of eggs during her
first year, and she is more profitable
then than at any other time. This view.
according to the Poultry Keeper, is a
mistaken one. The first point to be set
tied is, which is the first year Of q
hen? If she is Matched in the spring
she will not lay until fall and If she
then lays large number of eggs by
the end Of the next year, she has really
been supported two years and laid dur
ing one year only. In other words she
has to be raised from chickenhood to
maturity before she begins to lay at all.
Her next or third year will be all the
more profitable for the reason that the
first cost Of raising her will be proper
tionately reduced each year.-Ex.

the light of the sun, which they re-
ceive and reflect into space.
The aspect of Saturn and his rings
varies constantly for the terrestrial OBJ
server on account of the changes Of
perspective caused by the continual
displacement of the earth and Of Saturn
itself. Sometimes this curious system
only shows its edge to us, and then one
can only distinguish very thin line
passing in front of the planet and ex-
tending beyond on the east and the
west. Sometimes they appear to us
very open, and then we are better able
to study their disposition. We never
see them from the front, because we
are never in the prolongation of the
axis Of the planet. In that case they
would appear to us to be perfectly cir
cular, as they really are. The present
aspect is that which is represented in
the cut Figure 1, which has been ex-
pressly drawn by M. MoreauX, at the
observatory of Juvisy.
1t is interesting to note the exact
dimensions of this marvellous system,
besides which the earth is nothing but
poor little cottage. Here are few
exact figures:-
Kilometres.
Half diameter Of the earth. .... 6,371
Half diameter of Saturn. ... 59,256
Distance of Saturn from the in
ner ring ......... ............ 10000
Width of the inner ring. ..... $4,000
Width of the central ring. 27,7OO
Width of the outer ring. ..... $4,000
Total width Of the rings. $50. 64,70O
To this system, already so rich, must
be added cortege of eight satellites
gravitating round the planet, outside
the rings. You see, it is quite uni
verse!
1t had been thought that this sys-
tenn of rings was solid, but Laplace
demonstrated that if it were thus there
would be no condition Of stability, for
to maintain itself in space it would be
obliged to turn rapidly round the
planet, as the moon does round the
earth, and, in consequence of it's enor-
nous dimensions, if it turned all in one
piece the exterior zone would have had
to turn much more rapidly than the
interior one, which would have brought
about the dislocation of the system.
1t was also thought that they might
be liquid, which would give COM
parative independence to the differ
ent zones, and when the interior trans
parent ring was discovered astrono-
mers were at first inclined to look upon
it as of air. fluid formed of sort Of
atmosphere But the absence Of any
refraction on the one hand and me-
chanical considerations on the other
soon proved that the three rings could
only be formed of independent narti-
Giles. This theory is very old one,
having been propagated nearly two
centuries ago by Cassini, the first dl-
rector OF the Paris observatory under
Louis XIV. 1t was also mathematic-

tie change to note in the condition of crops,
but what change there is, is toward better

of timely rain caused positive injury or
retarded growth.
OF cotton. it is universally said that it
is very small but healthy, and where well

on squares freely, but is slow TO bloom in
the up country; poisoning is general in
the eastern portions of the state. The
crop is generally we'll worked and free

desired
Corn is doing we'll generally. Early
planting is being laid by in excellent con-
dition. In few localities it was too dry,
but this is exceptional. Later corn looks
fine. Some corn planted in stubble land
just coming up and some still being plant
ed. In the eastern counties the crop is
almost made.
There are reports from Pickens, Green
vile, Laurens, Union, York and Chester
field counties of serious injury to the cot
ton plant by lice. These insects have ap-
peared in localities where they We're never

have about disappeared from other por-
tions of the state. Worms are still injur-

ties.

ment to the Morning News correspond

Il heard Hon. Josiah Patterson's speecb
last night. and 1 was convinced by his
able arguments against free silver, that
sound money is the only correct solution
OF the financial problem. I have been a
strong advocate of the free, Independent
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ra-
to of 16 to for several
months, but am now advocat-
ing the sound money doctrine. No sensible
man can listen to the speeches OF Josiah
Patterson without believing that every
word is true. Hereafter l shall talk for
sound money and the gold standard. The
tide is returning in favor of sound money
throughout South Georgia and Florida.
and Mr.. PattersOn's speeches are doing

that he was the murderer of his grand

his grand mother suddenly became Of

and that she attacked him with a knife,
and that he killed her in self defense.
Mary Pierce. the 13-year-old daughter.
however. broke down and confessed that
the killing was unjustihable. Mary and
her mother were having a wordy quarrel
and George. she claims. interfered and
struck Mrs. Pierce several violent blows
with a stove poker. Not satisfied with this
he sprang at the old lady. caught her by
the throat and throttled her to death. Mary
did not interfere. Instead she assisted
Cheesbro in his attempt TO clear up evil
dences of the struggle. The floor was
mopped and the murdered woman's head
washed to clear off the marks. but the
deep finger marks on the throat and the
terrible cut across the chin could not be
obliterated, and the two young fiends
gave up the attempt after working twenty
minutes over the body.
1t was the intention to claim that the old
lady fell dead as If from heart disease.
but as the marks of violence were too
plain, the story of tramps in the neighbor-
hood was concocted. Cheesbro expresses
no regret for his deed. Mrs. Pierce was a
woman of violent temper and had been
known to punish her children and even her
husband numerically. Mr.. Pierce appears
to mourn but little and IL is the impress
sion that he is glad his wife is dead. The
young murderers have been bound over to
the circuit court for trial.

IOwA's REPUBLICANS.
Full Ticket Nominated at the state
Convention.

Convention.
Des Moines. Ia, July 10.-The well or
gained forces of Gen. Francis Marion
Drake of Centerville achieved signal
victory in the republican state convention
this afternoon, when he was nominated
for governor on the sixth ballot after one
of the most warmly contested ante-con-
vention campaigns ever witnessed in Iowa.
Gen. Drake had as his chief competitor
ex-United States Senator James F. Har-
Ian of Mount Pleasant, a man highly es-
teemed in Iowa and especially beloved by
republicans because of the conspicuous
part he took in the politics of the country
during the civil war period and beca Use
of his friendship for President Lincoln.
Gen. Drake, who is equally popular, was
backed by shrewdly organized following
of working politicians. The third strong
est candidate for governor on the oppos-
ing ballot was eX-State Senator Matt
Parrott of Waterloo, who was given the
second place on the ticket, defeating for
denomination Lieut. Gov. DUNCAN OF
Charlton.
There were seven other candidates for
governor: j. B. Harsh of Creston, E. s.
Ormsby of Emmettsburg. j. l.. Kamrar
of Webster City. W. NJ. Mcfarland Of
Estherville, the present secretary of state;
State Senator A. p. Conway of New
Sharon, F. c. Let's Of Marshalltown and
W. s. Russell of Perry. The strength of
each rapidly disappeared after the sfirst
ballot.
Supreme Court Judge Josiah Given of
Des Moines, State Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction Henry Sabin of Clinton
and Railroad Commissioner George w.
Perkins of Farragut were renominated
without difficulty.
There was no contest in the convention
over the platform, which ignores the pro-
hibition question among state issues as
being out of politics, and after denouncing
the national democratic administration for
it's incompetency practically reaffirms the
Minneapolis platform of 1892 on the leading
national issues.
No attempt was made to secure a declar-
alton for free silver.
resolution adopted by the caucus of
the Second district delegates favoring
law permitting the manufacture of liquors
in the state was presented to the commit
tee on resolutions, but was ignored.
Senator Allison was present and receiv-
ed an enthusiastic welcome, but did not
make a speech. The platform indorses him
for President.
