PULLET PULLING.

Some years ago, when Mark Twain
was invited to address the Poultry
Growers Society, he said that IN his
experience the easiest way to raise
chickens was by placing hot board
under the feet Of hen on a dark
night. She was then easily trans
lcrred to sack, and the industrious
poultry-raiser thus escaped the many
trials and dangers that beset chickens
m Their early life. A Clergyman In
New Jersey, who doubtless has heard
Of Mark Twain's advice, has found an
easier way than that tn raise poultry,
He arranged number of fishing lines.
with nice toothsome grubs on the
hooks, and cast them over into his
neighbor's yard. 1t seemed too good
chance to get something without
scratching for it to be lost, and imme.
diately the hens made a rush for it.
A fat Leghorn captured the prize and
went sailing over the fence at the
business end of the line. Then n
Plymouth Rock tried her luck. with
no better luck, so far as her own safe
ty was concerned. They got it in the
neck, SO to speak, every time. At last

the preachers unique fishing, reportcd
the matter to the owner of the hens.

ABOUT ADVERTISING.
Bucklin. in n. o. Picayune,

Bucklin in N. o. Picayune.
Variety is the spice of life and the
chief attraction in advertising.
While all advertising pays, it is bet
ter to do little well than great deal
poorly.
Circulars sent to those who have not
asked for them usually reach the
waste basket before they are read.
The money so wasted, il put into
newspaper space, would have been the
means OF reaching thousands of read
crs to the circulars dozens.
Up-to-date advertising is sure sign
of an up-to-date house. You never
saw strictly up-to-date advertise
ment emanate from a back k-number
concern, because good advertising and
poor business cannot go together any
better than poor advertising and good
business.
1t is foolish to lay down rules for
advertising. A good ad is one that
brings business. 1t may be one style
or another. We advertise for business
not to show how smart we are, or to
show how beautiful type can be gotten
together. An advertisement should
be judged solely on its business-bring.
ing qualities.

KEEP OUT OF DEBT:

| Home and Farm.
II were to write to paper with
the hopes of helping the poor, the first
thing would say would be, "Keep
out of debt" When you keep out of
debt you are defending yourself and
your country; when you 90 in debt
you are sulrendering yourself and
your country to the enemy. II the
statement of st. Louis paper is true,
the reason Texas is in better financial
condition than some other States Is
because the people of Texas have not
gone in debt to the same extent as
Others. But the people OF Texas
are by no means free from the curse
of debt.
Ii ten men buy 800 worth each of a
merchant on credit and one is dishon-
est and does not pay for his goods,
who loses the 500, the merchant or
the other men?
The merchant knows he will lose
some and charges more for his goods
on credit, and 50 the other men lose
the 500. So you see you who buy on
credit and pay your debts are sup
porting the rascals OF the country.
You are not likely to prosper i. you
buy goods on credit. Stop it now.
Do not buy dollars worth on credit
IN 1895. What you can't pay cash for
do without. 1t is better to live hard
year or two than to live hard all
your days, and that is what you will
do If you do not stop going in debt.
Buying property on credit or with
borrowed money is also very danger
Gus. A few have bought land on
credit and have paid for it, but most
of them lose it. The creditor usually
requires a part payment to begin
with, and he generally gets the land
back and makes the payment clear.
He then sells to some one else, and the
story is repeated. How long will it
take the people of the United States
to learn that interest-bearing debts
are perhaps the greatest curse in our
country?
The Bible says the borrower shall
be servant to the lender. Then the
only way to remain free is to keep out
of debt.
TO those already in debt I would say
do not go any further in debt. Study
your surroundings to see If there is
any way out and get ont as soon as
you can and then stay out. Teach
your children that debt is dangerous,
and be an example for them. A good
subject for debating societies Is, re-
solved, "That debts are a greater
curse than intemperance." Let the
people of America awake to the dan.
ger Of debt. Urge your friends to
keep out Of debt. Try to raise all you
need Of the following: Garden vege-
tables, orchard fruits, potatoes, sweet
and Irish, milk and butter, corn and
meat, oats, hay, etc.

TOMATO GRATED ON POTATO.

In England tomato plants have been
grated on potato plants, giving a crop
of tomatoes above grounds and pota-
toes below. Potatoes grated on to-
matoes have produced flowers, toma-
toes and few tubers. An expert
ment in this direction was made dur
ing the past season in Wisconsin.
Two tubers were planted in separate
pots in March, and when about four
to five inches high the plant was cut
of half an inch from the level OF the
soil and graft of tomato plant intro
duced on May Sth. The result was
that the potato, nourishcd by the
tomato plant above the ground, pro-
duced crop of potatoes in the pot,and
also the tomato plant above the
ground produced fairly good crop OF
tomatoes, nOuished by the potato
roots in the pot.

ANOTHER USE FOR ORANGES

There is a suggestion OF "grim
humor" or ''cruel satire" in the fol.
lowing paragraph from the Scientific
American:
A gentleman in Manchester claims
to have succeeded in applying orange
peel to very useful purpose. Orange
peel, dried in an oyen until all the
moisture has been expelled, becomes
readily inflammablc and serves admir-.
ably for lighting fires or for resusci.
tating them when they have nearly
gone out. Thoroughly dried orange
peel will keep for long time, and
might be collected when the fruit is
In season and stored for winter use.
Buyers of Florida orange groves should
remember the above.
