Talented Carolinlan.

North Carolina has sent out quite
number of talented young men during
the past score oEesears. Among the
strongest Of ministers sent out is DIR. l..
G. Broughton. The Richmond Dispatch
recently printed the following COM
plimentary paragraphs about DR.. L. G.
Broughton
CDR. Broughton is weli-known in
Richmond and Manchester, and his
success in the ministry has been re-
markable. He was born in Wake
county, n. c.. in 1866, and so Is just In
his 31st year. He received his academ-
ic instruction at Wake Forest College,
and later on, determining to enter the
medical profession, attended the Ken
lucky School OF Medicine, at Louisville:
and was, in due time, graduated there
from. He practiced as a country doc
tor short while in Wilson county, and
achieved high honor In his profession.
After tour years of professional work,
and Immediately after a most serious
spell of typhoid-feyer, he gave up the
practice of medicine and decided to en-
ter the ministry. At that time, DR.. w.
L. Wright, now pastor OF Leigh Street
church, In Richmond, was his pastor.
CDR. Broughton's first work as a min
lister was in the town of Winston, n. c..
where during one year and a half, he
led struggling church into ever-enlarg-
ing prosperity and usefulness. In No
vember of 1898 he accepted charge OF
Calvary church, Roanoke, Va. He ha.
lately passed the fourth anniversary Of
his pastorate there. The Roanoke
Daily Times, in recent issue, says:
"There have been more people hap
tized during 1896 in Calvary churct
than in any Baptist church in Virginia
This church also stands fourth In con
tributions to foreign missions, and fifth
in contributions to all missionary
boards> Besides, Calvary has built one
of the best houses of worship in Virgin

abundant labors as pastor, is in grea
demand for evangelistlc services. II

Mann, generous, magnanimous." If
there is boy in school who has club

clothes, don't talk about rags in his

Farm Hints.

Much of the food given to animals Is
wasted in the careless manner III which
it is handled, hay being thrown into
loose racks or narrow troughs, or even
on the floor of the stalls In excess
of the actual requirements, portion
being trampled. A saving can also be
made in grinding the grain during the
winter when labor is not so high, and
1t will consequently be more digestlble'
A bicycle on the farm is all very
we'll, but first get good wheelbarrow.
Its one wheel will avail far more for
practical agriculture than the others
two wheels. Capable and experienced
men on the farm are not numerous
and it Is not advisable to allow a good
one to go if he can be kept without loss
during the winter.
It Is not proper to trim the hair that
grows in the ear of a horse. Nature
intended it to protect the orlfice from
dust, insects, etc., and sudden atmos-
pheric changes.
In oiling harness unbuckle every
strap and wash off the dirt. Let dry
five minutes, then oil with neatstoot
oil, giving an extra touch to the belly
bands, breeching, buckle-holes and the
laps which buckle into the rings.
Intensive farming may probably be
termed a new industry, from the TACT
that there are so few engaged in IT.
1t is an industry which commends it
self to every practical farmer, and there
is more money in it than in any system
of the old style.

Judga Slick Got Even.

Down in Fulton county there used
to be circuit Judge named Long and
Sheriff named Moon, says the Chicago
Evening Post. Long was years ago
gathered to his fathers. Mr.. Moon is
still an ornament to his State. In the
county seat lived one of those trouble
some characters that are always offend
ing against law. His name was Peter
son, and he would maintain a disorderly
house. He had money, never hired
lawyer, depended upon bribing jury
man and hanging the twelve and his
shrewdness usually saved him.
One time they had a new prosecut-
ing attorney, who got nervous when he
realized the strong man he must go
against, and he asked Judge Slick, the
leader of the local Bar and rather the
beststrial lawyer in his section OF the
State, to assist in the prosecution.
Judge Slick knew Peterson and all his
wiles. He hated man who tried his
own case. He resolved to outwit him,
so he secretly gave the young prose-
through the trial without appearing to
take part in 1t. The case seemed direct
enough, but Peterson sneeringly, half
boastingly let it go to the jury. The
prosecutor aston1shed him with clos
Ing argument. Court habitues said it
sounded like one of Judge Sticks pow
erful arrangements. Peterson was
troubled. When the peroratlon was
ended he was frightened. After the
jury was out he turned to Judge Slick.
.'Got me, amt they?" he asked.

The Benefcient Crow.

New York Sun.
If farmers would make study of
natural history and its bearing on their
property-the relation of hawks to
their hencoops, tor instance-there
would be better paying crops.
The "Year Book" of the department
of agriculture tells about crow black
birds and what they eat. About 2 300
of their stomachs have been examined,
and of these 2,258 contained food. The
birds we're killed in rs states. Forty
eigh. per cent of the food was animal,
4S per cent. vegetable and 4 per cent.
was mineral. The blackbird has va
r1ety of things it eats.
"Tne animal food" says the report,
CONSISTED of insects, spiders myriapods
(thousand legs), crawfish, earthworms,
sowbugs, hair snakes, snails, fishes, tree
toads, salmanders (newts), lizards,
snakes, birds eggs and MICE" To
these might have been added young
birds, fish cast up by the tide, min
nows caught while swimming in shall
low water and probably meat and car
rion of various kinds. Most of the an
imal food is OF course insects. These
constitute as per cent. OF the total
the other 2 per cent. being the larger
things, like mice. The animal food
is taken mostly in the summer. In
winter the food is mostly vegetable
matter. The insects the bird kills more
than make Up the damage he does, es
peclally IS his nest robbing appears
to be only an incidental habit not Of
ten INDUCED in. A large flock of the
birds would, of course, destroy lot Of
grain. Some $4,000 would eat about
5000 pounds day, but they would
consume as many insects, which woulc
more than destroy the amount the bird
does.
