sowing Orchards to Grass.

Some people believe that a grass pas
ture keeps in the moisture. Expert
ments made in Nebraska have proven
this to be a fallacy. The orchard was
divided into three parts. Two of them
were in grass, one moved and the other
pastured; and the third portion was cul-
tivated. 1t was proven by actual analy-
sis that for every 100 barrels of water
contained in the first 20 inches Of pas
ture, like amount of ground cultivated
during the entire season contained over
40 barrels. The pastured portion con-
tanned little more moisture than that
moved; but only 5 per cent. more. APP
pies from the cultivated land averaged
nearly IA per cent. larger in weight
than those from pastured land, and over
II per cent. larger than those from
moved land

Nesbitt Found Guilty of Murder
in the Second Degree.

The trial of Jefferson E. Nesbitt
for the murder of Alex Mccarthy on
the 22nd of January, 1895, was closed
on Friday last, the jury finding a YER
dict of guilty of murder in the second
degree Nesbitt admitted the killing
of McCarty, but claimed that he was
intoxicated at the time and did not
know what he was doing. He said
that he shot into the corn crib to drive
the McCartys away. He testified that
there had been no difficulty between
he and Nesbitt and that they were
friends. The cause of the shooting
arose out of an exchange of rails for
corn. Joseph E. Nesbit, who owns
farm about II miles from Clearspring,
Washington County, agreed to give
Alex. McCarty six barrels of corn for
one hundred rails When McCarty
and his brother brought the rails to
Nesbitt's place and sent to the house
for him to deliver the corn, the mother
of Nesbitt sent word back that he could
not get the corn as her son was asleep.
McCarty proceeded to take the corn,
and when Mrs Nesbitt saw what was
going on she awakened her son and
told him that the McCartys were steal
ing his corn. He then went out to the
corn crib with his gun and fired at
them, stri king Alex. about the shout
der and arms. He ran about forty feet,
reeled and fell dead, some of the shot
having penetrated the heart. VIM.
McCarIy looked around and seeing
Nesbitt with the gun in his hand said,
Jeff, you have killed Alex He replied,
Eyes, 1 killed -," and thenwent to
his house.

SOME TIMELY HINTS
Observe Them, If You Want Eggs Duru
the Winter Months.

Observe Them, If You Want Eggs During
the Winter Months.
1. Get the hens into healthy growing
condition, shrinking, if necessary. to
remove surplus fat, or adding to, if
poor. In the first instance, feed only
on cooked vegetables and oats or bran;
in the latter give more corn.
2. Make the ration one rich in egg
materials. Let a certain per cent. Of
animal food, meat scraps, meat, meal, or
food of this nature be given daily. one
pint to pailful of cooked food IS
enough.
8. Feed to promote health rather than
destroy, and temper the quantity. a
wooden pail full of cooked vegetables,
or cooked clover, with two quarts Of
mixed ground grain worked well into
tho mass, is breakfast enough lor 80
hens. Reduce rather than exceed this,
the sole object being to satisfy the
claims of hunger and promote activity.
Let the night ration be not more than
one quart of mixed grain (wholel to
II hens, be so scattered about the chatf,
leaves, straw or earth, that only kerr
mel will be found at time. This means
that the hens will scratch busily until
dark, and this it is which promotes
egg building. In the coolest weather,
fill the crops just at night with corn
for the same reason that you fill the
stove with coal-to keep warm.
4. Three or four times week feed
cooked or chopped clover with ground
grain in the morning mash.
Glover, animal meat, meal or scraps
wheat, vegetables and oats, if fed as
indicated to hens having comfortable
pens, will insure steady egg production

Massachusetts State Roads.
State roads in Massachusetts are be-
Ing built. under an appropriation Of
100000 per year, evenly divided among
the IA counties. The state pays cost OF
surveys and construction, the county
20 refund rs per cent. thereof in six
years. About rs pieces of road have
been built the past two years, each
piece being about 1 mile in length,
serving as an object lesson Of what good
work should be. The plan is to have
INES OF state road from Boston through
tho northern and central tiers of towns
along the coast and toward Rhode
Island In direct line. The new roads
are 10 feet wide, composed of 2h inches
o. broken rock, . inches of smaller size
and III inches Of rock dust, rolled by
steam. Some 10 or 10 years will be re-
Quired TO complete the system, but the
people are urgent for larger annual
appropriation.
