support them, and so save that item OF
expense? l say to farmers, give your
girls a chance, and they will beat the
boys all hollow" not only in the
thoroughness of their work. but in
their enthusiasm for results, and in the
results themselves.
But you ask: Shall l set my daugh
ter to planting potatoes or hoeing corn?
Or would it be better to start her in
business by breaking the two-year-old
colt, or the brindle steers, or feeding
and caring for the hogs? No. my dear
sir; while L have no doubt she would
be successful if she undertook to do any
of these things, and would surprise you
by the results obtained, still it is not
necessary for her to engage in any such
masculine labor.
Again you ask: What, then, would
you have her do? Let me whisper in
your ear, the one little word, poultry
Now don't shrug your shoulders and
eXclaim: ''Bosh!'' for if you knew
it there is more profit in the "hen
business" for the amount invested,
than in any other stock. And who is
more fitted to attend to such 'stocl<"
than the daughters of the family? Just
try 1T, if you have one or more daugh-
tiers that have nothing to do, and are
just eating their heads off; invest $3.50
in poultry, and house to put it in (the

SWEET CORN FODDER.
1t Has Been Fed with Excellent Results
Down IN Maine.

Down IN Maine.
Mr.. Walker Mckeen, secretary OF
Maine state board of agriculture, says:
Previous to having a silo we fed quite
large quantities OF sweet corn fodder
cured, with excellent results. I :,e best
way to manage this after it is cut is to
thoroughly, then dray to the barn and
pack, preferably in bay, in alternate
layers with oats, wheat or barley straw.
Make each layer not more than one foot
thick. The straw takes up the mois-
ture, prevents molding, and is made
better for feed by contact with the corn
fodder. We never packed corn with ears
on in this way, but see no reason why 1t
would not work equally well, the only
objection we can think of would be the
danger from mice. If well packed,
however, and fed from every day with
plenty of oats about the premises we
should not fear much damage from this
source. If you do not care to try this
plan stand as closely as you can i'll some
sheltered place, being sure to have il
placed in such manner that it will re.
main standing. When feeding if you
have large proportion of corn you viii
probably get better results by cutting
or shredding before feeding. If you
have but small proportion you will
have no trouble in feeding it by using
Il small amount each day along with
other folders. Animals will do well on
this fodder. One of the finest and larg-
est herds I know of kept for selling
milk in city is fed largely in winter
on this dried corn with ears on, their
owner using a large cutter, and two
horse power, cutting a weeks feed
ahead and allowing it to heat slightly.
For our own use, however, we should
prefer the silo, as there will be saving
of labor and succulent FOOD

Pests of the Poultry Yard.

This is the season for lice, and it is
only the well-kept coops and yards
that are free from the vermin. Lice
will drive the sitting hens off the nest,
will force others to lay on the ground
outside, will cause the chicks to droop
and die without apparent disease af-
fecting them, will invite disease by de-
b1litating the fowls, and will cause loss
where profit should be the result Do
not wait for lice to come, but keep the
pests away. Frequent whitewashing
of the coops, the rubbing of kerosene oil
on the roosts, the sprinkling of tobacco
refuse over the nests, and the liberal
use of Persian insect powder well dust
ed into every crack and crevice as well
as over the floor, the nests, and every
where else, viii be the only safeguard.

The chambers of many old-fashioned

letting windows into the roof. Double,

Let the Dear Girl Hunt Hens Rather

Much has been said and written on
excepting the boys on the farm" and
many pleas have been made urging
farmers to give their boys an interest
in some kind of stock or crop, and thus
make their labor of some pecuniary
value to themselves. Every boy likes
to have little money that he may call
his own, and that he can spend as he
likes. But how is it in regard to the
girls? Have you ever seen anything
written in regard to keeping the girls
on the farm?" Or are they of SO lit

to get them married off as quickly as

The Nuptia,s are Hastened.

One Of those rumances In real lie
about which we often hear and seldom
meet with, has come to u young lady III
Graenville, whose beauty and accom-
plishments are only equalled by Ter
modesty and genuine worth. Mr.. Ell
dred S. Addison, of Ninty-SiX, who IS
related TO quite number of people IN
Greenville, has been paying court to
the young lady aforesaid, who is Miss
Annie j. Roberts, daughter of the late
Col. Thos. B. Roberts, and VINO has a
hosS of friends and relatives in this
city. Mr.. Addison proved successful IN
his wooing, and the time fixed for the
marriage was Wednesday next, 4th 0i
March, to which the immediate family
and few intimate friends only were
invited. The expected groom made MS
usunal visit to our city prior to the time
set for the approaching nuptials, and
left iiere Oh Tuesday morning for his
home at Ninety-Six. He is one of the
most successful and prosperous farm
ers in that neighborhood, and noted as
cattle raiser. He had sold lot OF
cattle, and on reaching home was de-
livering them to the purchaser, when
stampede took place among them, and
in the confusion Mr.. Addison was run
over and knocked down, resulting in
dlslocation of his knee which was al
ready crippled. He was taken to the
house of a friend, where he was kindly
cared for, and information of the accl-
dent was sent to his friends in Green
vile, who hoped that the injuries were
not very serious, but letters the next
day gave the discouraging statement
that he was very severely wounded and
was suffering intensely. Miss Roberts
at once made preparations to be Win
her atfianced in his atfiiction, ana yes
terday morning in company with Ia
DIV friend she went to Ninety-Slx.-

nard for $34.OO. We called Mr.. XII
nard's attention to this matter du-
ring last summer al hoped that
ne would return the money but ne
has failed to do SO. We recon-
mend that suit be brought against
Mr.. Kinard for tie money and in
case ii can't be made out of him
that suit be brought against the
County Commissioners.
In our August Report we called
the attention of the Treasurer to
School Certificates amounting to
$4,000 which were fnrgeriea, the
present Treasurer never having
been served with such notice has
paid $3.50 TO the Farmers Bank
for thesc Certificates taking an in
demnity bond of the said Bank.
We recommended that suit be
brought at once against The Far
mers Bank for the recovery Of this
monoy.
Since our investigation COM
menced last July, we have found
errors, irregularities, and shortages
to the amount of $324S.95, some OF
this amount has already been re-
turned to the Treasurer and all OF
it will go back to our Treasurer if
our county gets its dues, and. there
is very little doubt but what the

ties. The tax execution business
is not included in this $324S.95. .

SATIRICAL SAM.
xANTIpPEs POINT OF VIEW
Wit and Slang and Smut.

The Rev. Sam Jones lectured in
the Lyceum Hall last Wednesday
evening and on Thursday morning
to packed house, including the
rogue's gallery. Edgefeld's four
hundred graced the occasion, and
the riff raft were also out i'll round
numbers.
We had heard that he renowned
wit appeared before his audiences
elegantly attired, but ne walked
out OIL The stage, quite an ugly
looking, seedy, little man. But
under the electric spell of his ge-
MUS, and scihtillating wit, we
thought him handsome, and his
dark eyes glowed like stars. God
gave hlm SO much talent, and
charm, 1 might say trick of man
ner. that be doesn't have to wear a
spike-tailed coat, nor a Prince Al
bert, nor white kid gloves. boutrn-
mere, or dude glass. H. just
"don't have TO-" | never before
heard i'll my long LIE, so much vii
and slang and smut condensei and
showsred upon the throng. We
were fairly "douched." Each wit
ty. slangy, smutty, delightful, and
droll speech brought forth u peal
of laughter.
He said the most wicked things
in the most innocent manner, and
you couldn't resent it, when be
called YOU the most blaskguard
names. We had an intellectual
lfaast adss6Aestaai Va had
our peculiar meannesses touched
on. Those who were in ''sassiety,"
and those who are making frantic
efforts to be, were burlesqued. And
the "holy sinner" dashlng up TO
the monthly mission in Victoria or
Landau sitting back in Redfern
creation, to drop in the two nickels
for the dear Lord, with which He
was TO buy the heather for His in
heritance, and the uttermost parts
of the earth fer His possession.
So many of US have cut the last
but 1n from the old frock before
bestowing the gift on our poor Sis
er, not thinking that the old gar
ment would confront US in the
"sweet."
And our prayers are not wired to
heavens pearly gates, because like
the old sister in the muskmelon
prayer, we stand too often Oh such
a soft and mushy foundation.
The curtain was yanked up on
the political aspirant, on the Get
rock family, the drunkard, the
pistol fend, the sickly dude, the
pert miss, those who put their
hands to the plow and turn back,
and the hangers on, all got slapped
in the face, but we pretended not
to see the application.
Sam Jones has got the 60 and
the grit and the swing of it. Some
of the refined upper strata said, Sam
Jones is very coarse and smutty,
but you could see that they enjoy
ed his talk immensely. The refn-
ed and upper strata dnvour smut
and slang with peculiar zest, es-
pecially if spiced with intellect.
Sam Jones scored one on his trip
here.
