PonltrY Runs.

Farmers are not, as are city people,
restricted for range for their poultry,
Therefore the birds should always
ave large ranges. The range should
be large enough so that the grass will
not be eaten off. It might be thought
that this word Of advice is not needed,
yet we know that 1t is. We have our
selves seen farms where the poultry
run was so limited that the earth was
bare of verdure all the time. Beyond
the run in mind was grass field that
should have been made to contribute to
the sustenance of the poultry. There
is another point about having a grass
run for the poultry so large that the
grass cannot be eaten off. That is,
that grass is a cheaper food for poul-
try, as a part ration, than almost any
other. The grass not only is a cheap
food, but healthful food, and one that
seems to stimulate egg production. The
blades of grass attract insects, such as
grasshoppers, and thus contribute to
the supply of fiesh-food, so much liked
by poultry. Wire for fencing costs lit
tie; therefore there is no reason why
a large poultry run should not be an
accessory to every farm

LINES ON LINCOLN.

Look on this cast and know the hand
That bore a nation in its hold.
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large OF
mold.
The man who sped the woodman's
team,
And deepest sunk the plowman's
share,
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF fate before him unaware.
This was the hand that knew to swing
The ax-since thus would Freedom
train
Her son-and made the forest ring,
And drove the wedge and toiled
amain.
Firm hand, that loftier office took,
A conscious leaders, will obeyed,
And when men sought his word and
look,
With steadfast might the gathering
swayed.
Mo courtier's toying with the sword,
Nor minstreps laid across the lutte;
"A chiefs, uplifted to the Lord
When all the kings Of earth were
mute.
Il
What better than this voiceless cast
To tell Of such one as he,
Since through it's living semblance
passed
The thought that babe race be free.

Judge and member of the Provincial
assembly. Hannah's uncle, Captain
John, Bower, was rich. He remembered
Hannah Salter Lincoln in his will, CIV
ing her $3.50. Her husband was so
greatly esteemed that in title-deeds he
was styled gentleman" He was
thrifty, and purchased several hun
bred acres of land. He wanted more,
and visited the valley of the Schuylkill,
in Pennsylvania to see for himself
whether or not the lands there were as
fertile and beautiful as reported. He
was so we'll pleased that he resolved
to become a citizen of Pennsylvania,
and remove to Amity township.
It seems conclusive that John did not
go with his father, but remained in
Freehold. and married there. 1t was
on the Schuylkill that the Lincolns,
Hanks and Boone families became as
ISOLATED. When Mordecai Lincoln died
he left George Boone, father of the
more celebrated Daniel Boone, to look
after his will. The lands were equally
divided between the sons. Mordecai,
Jr. Thomas, John and Abraham. John
and Thomas Lincoln later went to
Virginia. The Boones moved to
Wilkesborough, N. c., The Hanks fam
lily also moved farther west. This was
about 174S. France had just driven
England out of Canada and the Ameri-
can colonies were beginning to feel un-
rest.
Daniel Boone explored Kentucky, and
thither followed the Lincolns and
Hankses. Abraham, son of Mordecai
Lincoln, married Mary Shipley before
pushing into the wilderness Of the ter
ritory. They had three children, Nor
decai, Thomas and Josiah. Thomas
Lincoln grew up and married Nancy
Hanks. They settled in a log cabin at
Elizabethtown. Here Sarah Lincoln
was born to them. Later they moved
to Rock Spring, where on February
IL, 1909, he who was destined to be-
come one of the grandest men of his
tory was born-Abraham Lincoln.

Roxbury, bingham, Hull and other

Horsemen generally have recognized
something in the oat grain for horse
feeding, taking it beyond the ranks Of
other feeding materials-a stimulus,
perhaps, or ii may be something which
gives a different or better nerve ac-
ton, says Southern Cultivator. In
1S45, Norton claimed to have separated
an albuminoid from the oat grain,
which he called avenine. Samson of
France announced in 1888 that he had
discovered an alkaloid in the oat that
had a. stimulating effect on the motor
nerve of the horse. Whether the chem
ist will ever find distinct stimulating
principle in the oat grain remains for
the future, but certain it is there seems
to be something Of this kind present.
This has found expression in the
phrase, 1.-THE oat grain turning over
in the horses stomach tickles his ribs"
With many horses the driver can tell
when the feed has been changed from
any other grain to oats or the reverse,
by the spirit or mettle of the animal.
Samson found that crushing or grinding
the oats considerably weakened the
nervous influence of this grain, and
Storer concludes that air probably
works to the destruction of avenine.
This points in favor of feeding oats
whole.

sands of Puritans were ready to leave

England LOT ever.
Many of the people of Norfolk and
Lincoln counties had sailed for Massa-
chusetts; others were ready to join
them. The ships, Rose and the John,
and Dorothy, were at yarmouth, pre-
pairing to sail. Francis Lawes resolV-
ed to become an emigrant, and it seems
probable that Samuel Lincoln was
ready to join his brother, who had set
tied in bingham, near Boston. We see
them travelling across the meadows and
lowlands. with others, to Yarmouth
town. Together the ships sail across
the Atlantic, to drop their anchors In
| Salem Harbor.
1t is probable that Samuel Lincoln,
for lack of wool, did not do much weav-
! ing in the town of Ipswich, where his
master settled.
The only sheep in Massachusetts,
were few which were pastured on the
| islands in Boston harbor where the
wolves could not get at them.
When the apprentice became OF age
he joined his brother Thomas in Hing
ham. He had learned trade; 1t is
not certain that he followed it, but
probably he became farmer. A maid
en- named Martha became his wife; her
parental name is not known. Their chill
dren were Samuel, Daniel, Mordecai,
Mary, Martha, Sarah and Rebecca.
Startling news came that the Indians
were numbering the settlers Of Swan
zey. 1t was the beginning of the war
with the Pequos, under their chief,
Philip, Samuel, the oldest son, seized
his fathers gun and powder horn and
became a soldier. A year passed, in
| which more than six hundred of the
settlers were killed; but the chief was
! dead, and his head was hanging on
gibbet in Plymouth. The captured In
dams were sold as slaves to the Span
| iards.
Mordecai Lincoln, the while, was
blowing the bellows and making the
anvil ring in a blacksmith's shop
When he became Of age he set up his
own forge in Hull. Perhaps Sarah
Jones may have influenced him in set
Ting there, for she soon became his
wife.
The year 1886 was a memorable one
to the blacksmith, for a son was born
to him-Mordecai, Junior Just before
his birth the frigate Rose sailed into
Boston harbor bringing Sir Edmund
Andres, who had been appointed gov
ernor of Massachusetts, Plymouth
Rhode Island and Connecticut. He
had brought over two companies Of
troops to aid him in upsetting the
government of the people. 1t seems
that Mordecai Lincoln could look from
his shop door and see the frigate run
ming out its guns and firing a salute
and the cannon of the castle replying
James II. had determined to overthrow
the Puritan commonwealth. The peo-
pie were no longer to assemble in
town meeting or make their own laws
We may be sure that the farmers who
came to have their horses shod or their
! ploughshares sharpened, or fishermen
who wanted work done, expressed their
minds freely upon public affairs, and
that the blacksmith had something to
say while making the anvil ring by
his sturdy blows. Three years passed,

lower prices have prevailed. The I'M
usually large production of milk, ana
therefore of butter and cheese, was
caused by the favorable weather con-
ditions throughout the summer ana
early fall. The year has been without
precedent for good pasturage through
out the hot season, and in consequence
there was little decrease in the make
of butter until the latter part OF Octo-
Der. While in former years there was
a large falling off in the make after
June, enormous quantities OF June Dut-
ter were placed in cold storage In an
ticipation of the higher prices tnat
come with a lessening in the make,
and as the supply Of fresh stock kept
up through the summer holders Oh
storage stock grew anxious, but the
fall developed a good demand for it,
and the year 1896 closed with cold
storage goods we'll cleaned up. Much
of this overproduction of butter found
a ready sale in foreign markets. Hand
lers of butter are constantly on the
lookout for markets in which to ad-
ter. The causes of increased produc-
and the export trade was factor to-
ward that end in the last year. ms
trade is growing, as is shown by the
fact that in 1895 the United States ex-
ported 1851 500 pounds, and in 1896
sent abroad 26,32O,OOO pounds of but
ter. The causes of increased produc-
ton of butter apply also to the large
make of cheese in 1896. But in add1-
ton to this the passage Of the filled
cheese" law was of incalculable value
to this industry, and also of great ben
eft to the entire dairy interests of the
country. While the data at hand show
a marked improvement in the con-
sumption of cheese at home, there has
been but little more exported in 1896
than in 1895. Through and local re-
ceipts of butter, cheese, eggs and poul-
try by months for the year 1896;

the to of a hill that overlooks
the town and changed the name
to Lincoln. In the course of years it
became the name of family, possibly
there were several families bearing the
name in Norfolk and Lincoln coun-
ties.
We know that one such family had
its home in bingham, and that Sam
uel Lincoln was an infant on that when
the Pilgrims, in December, 1920, es-
tablished government of the people in
America. We also know that there
was an older brother, Thomas; but it Is
not certain that we shall ever learn
much about their parents. 1t seems
probable that they were obliged to
work hard to obtain living for them
selves and children. We may conclude
that their home was a cottage, thatch-
ed with straw. We may think of the
brothers as playing in the streets, or
going in to the green fields and gather
ing daisies, listening to the larks and
nightingales. They could look across
the meadows and see the tall spire Of
Norwich Cathedral, and in the hush
and stiffness hear the great bell send
ing forth. its music.
Quite likely they heard their parents
say that King James had died, and that
his son, Charles l., was king. Then the
talk was about troublesome times. The
king maintained that he was ordained
by God to rule the Nation and that it
was the duty Of the people to obey.
The bishop preached that the king
could do no wrong. Charles wanted
money and levied taxes without con-
sulting parliament. The Puritans who
would not pay, together with those who
would not accept the ritual prepared
by the bishop, were arrested so many
times that the Jail and the Guildhall in
Norwich were filled. When the Off
GERS undertook to collect the tax in
Lincoln the people pelted them with
stones. The Puritans all over England
were resisting the demands of the
king. Possibly it was the desire of
Charles to get rid Of them that led him
to grant a charter for a government of
their own in America. The persecution
Of the bishop and the arbitrary acts of
the king made life so bitter that thou

Kicking Mules.-As a rule, small
mules from broncho mares are very apt
to kick at any chance, while mules
from work mares and those with draft
blood seldom kick or balk. Very few
mules ever kick in the harness. The
Journal of Agriculture says: "a mule
seldom gets hurt on wire fence. While
they are very quick to see weak place
in a fence and will get out where a
horse would not try, they are. careful
not to get cut. The usual way to
break mule is to throw a rope over
his head and tie to something solid
until he gives up, and when a good
strong harness is put on him and he
is hitched by the side of strong, we'll

Soil Fertility.-Few soils are so lack
ing in fertility that they would not
grow crops could the mineral plant food
which they contain be unlocked and
brought into fit condition for use. This
important operation, as we'll as nitrifi-
cation-or the conversion of nitrogen
compounds into the form of nitrates-
can proceed only in the presence of
moisture. Crops plowed under for
green manuring, and barn manures, can
be made available only when there is
