COMFORTABLY.

One Thomas COR Tam Young long
held the office of headsman. He was
to be seen every day taking his soil
tary walk in the public green, escort
ed by one or two ugly bulldogs. The
gallows tree at the cross was strange
erection, fixed with many ropes up
right to the steeple. Afterward, when
death was inflicted in front of the jail
at the foot of the green, large box
or chest was formed as the gallows.
1t was erected in wright's yard then
in Buchanan street. 1t was frequent
ly visited during its erection by NOR
bidly curious people. 1t could be
separated, and each board was num-
bered, and so could be easily put
together. There were four or five who
were at the time of its construction
under sentence of death. Tamas,
having been taken to see the machine
and to give his opinion as to its ac-
commodation, naively replied that
four could be comfortably hanged on
the beam, but not more" That mum
Der did in 1919 eXpiate their crimes on
this ill fated machine.

C4NDI .E1TING CIT.

A cat in a family of Hudson river
town is very fond of candy, and this
is what his mistress saw him doing
one day recently: One of the sons of
the household sat by the window read
ing. He bad spread out on the sill Il
row of candies, and every few moments
he would reach out for one of these
and carry it to his mouth without
looking up from his book. BY and by
his mother noticed what the cat was
doing. He would steal up on what
might be called his tiptoes to the win
dow, and, Watching Edgar all the
time, would reach out paw cautious
ly and snatch IA chocolate. This he
did until he had taken half the row of
candies. Then Edgar discovered
what he was doing and promptly sup
pressed him. This same cat likes to
be petted like child. He will doZe
peacefully Oh the bed, his head ON the
pillow and one paw tucked under it.
Another paw he will thrust out for his
mistress to hold, and thus he will
sleep by the hour. So, if there is Il
loud noise in the night to awaken
him, he will run to her bed to be tax
Ell in and lie by her side, with his lit
tie claw in her hand to soothe him
while he falls off to slumber again

THE ORIGIN OF PRINTING.

1t is, and most probably will con-
tinue, Il question whether printing
was invented in Holland or Germany,
as those who first discovered and prac
ticed the art carried on their labors SO
secretly, that after lapse of Il few
years it was very easy for more than
one person to claim the merit of the
invention. And it remains doubtful
to this day whether we owe this in
estimable benefit to a citizen of Har-
lem, named C6star, or to Il gentleman
of MentZ, named Guttenburg. Several
works had already been printed in
Germany, when William CaXton, Il
merchant of London, was sent by
King Edward to transact some bust
ness in the Netherlands, and during
his stay on the Continent he visited
Cologne. where he cOntrived to ac
quire knowledge of the art, and, on
his return to England set up Il press
at Westminster Abbey The first
book printed in England was Urea
tse Oh the Game of Chess, and a very
wonderful performance it was thought
at the time, although it would not
bear any comparison with the print
ing of the present day. CaXton de-
voted the remainder of his life to the
improvement of the art he had learned
and printed a great many religious
works, besides some histories, and
the poems of the poet Chaucer,
who was the earliest of English
poets of any note. and lived in the
time of Henry the Fourth

When we allude to early pullets we
mean those for next year. If pullets are
to be hatehed there is no time to lose.
1t requims three weeks for the eggs to
hatch. The advantages Of Matching them
early Is that it gives them more time for
growth, and they escape lice and many
other drawbacks that appear In the later

the early chicks be given good care; but
as the young cockerels can be sent to

all the labor bestowed Comfortable

To Destroy Wild Onions.

For destroying this pest to the dairy
the Georgia commissioner of agriculture
recommends the planting of some crop
of superior growth. such as cowpeas or
crimson clover, which has tendency to
supersede the onion growth, and to cut
this crop before the buttons on top of
the onions have time to form. By this
plan a twofold purpose is accomplished.
The onions are prevented from forming
additional roots, and the buttons" can
not mature to be scattered for another
crop. If cultivated crop Is planted, this
will also tend to destroy the onions, the
roots being plowed up during the course
of cultivation, but the process of eradi-
cation is necessarily a slow one. When
the onions have taken possession of the
land it may be some time before their de-
struction is entirely accomplished.

Beef and Poultry.

The high prices for beef should encour-
age farmers to raise more fowls. 1t re-
ouires two or three years to produce a
steer for market, but only few months
need elapse before a large number of
chicks can be marketed. A farmer has
always home market for his poultry on
his own table, and he can avoid high
prices for beef by substituting poultry In
the place of the more expensive meat. In
this section of the United States there
are large cities, as well as small towns,
that will take all poultry offered, but the
consumption of poultry on the farms
should also reduce the supply and in
crease the profit of those that are shipped

Poultry Raising in the South.

One of the most inviting fields for the
poultry grower al the present time is the
south, writes j. H. Davis in American
Agriculturalist Cheap feed is great
advantage in the raising of any kind of
stock East Tennessee is peculiarly an
agricultural and stockraising section.
The valleys there are unexcelled for fer
tility and no section grows better small
grain, raises better live stock, more poul-
try, or is better adapted to small fruits.
Heretofore Georgia has been cotton
growing state, but since cotton has
dropped so low in price farmers have
turned their attention to grains, fruits
and live stock. The year 1894 was marked
by the largest acreage of corn ever grown
In the state, and 1895 bids fair to go be-
yond last years corn harvest. Many
more hogs and cattle are being raised
than usual, while the dairy business,
small fruit growing and the poultry in
dustry are booming"
