Farm Gnt! Garden Notes.

>'-->~
Like Ill other farm animals, tho
chickens must be provided with
plenty Of pure, clean water.
4 hens time is not very valuable
and it is best TO let her spend q good
deal of it in hunting the grain from
the litter in the scratching pen.
Five blackface shearing rams be-
longing to one firm were sold at public
auction in Lanark, Scotland, the Sec
ond week in September, at the extra
ordinary price Of $685. apiece.
If the pallets have plenty of range
there is not much danger Of getting
them too fat. The danger OF over
feeding is more often liable to occur
where fowls ale closely yarded.'
Peach trees may be examined for
borers as late as the weather holds
good, and ifnot yet attended, to should
not be neglected longer. Do not per-
nit these grubs to winter in the trees.
On account Of their delicacy early
Matched turkeys are not desirable.
Those Matched in Juno can be made
fine birds for Thanksgiving and
Christmas. The unsettled condition
of the weather before this time causes
great loss among tho poults.
The fowl in the wild state was not q
very heavy egg producer. The large
egg production is characteristic
which has been developed by q more
generous diet than nature afforded tc
the wild race Of fowls; not tho amount
Of food, so much rs the quality, which
goes into the egg composition.
II the hens are left to shift for them
selves this winter do not grlmblc be

the season Of the year when eggs ar|
usually scarce and prices high. Talk

Farmer and Trainmen Attacked by Wolves
Wolves are making life unhappy for
Minnesota farmers
Henry Fellen was attacked by pack
near Deerwool, on the Northern Pa
ciic, recently and killed several before
he drove them off: When he ran to
the rescue the wolves attacked him.
Fellen climbed tree, and, seated
on q limb, began war on the beasts.
He shot several of them, who were I'M"
mediately torn to pieces by the others.
Fellen fired all the cartridges in his
rifle, and was kept prisoner in the
tree by the animals for an hour OF
moro, until neighbor, who had heard
the shooting and the howls Of tho
wolves, came to the rescue.
Later in the evening the crew OF a
Northern Pacific train discharging o
cargo at the Deerwood station, was at
tackled by wolves, supposed to be the
remainder of tho pack which had at
tackled Fellcn. The men had just time
to draw their revolvers and make for
the train. Shrill blasts ssfrom. the
whistle and the opening Of the escape
pipes for steam scared tho wolves
away.
Already considerable amount Of
stock owned by the settlers has been
killed by the animals, end people arr
afraid to 90 out Of their homes afte1
dark. The heavy snow and the i'll
tense cold are driving the wolves int
the settlements.

r,o,1,adcrs For Fruit Gathering.

SinD LauuCrs COA AA"A'
Considering how easily step ladders
ore made, and their small cost it is sur
r nrising that they arc not more used in
p.t fruit. The habit Of climb.
i I all through the tree, brulslnS and
i nj its branches, is the direct r,
csuso Of the numerous sap shoots tlat
s stsrt ont wherever branch on the
trunk is bruised. There was excuse
IN the olden time for training fruit
trees high, so that cattle and horses
when pasturing the orchard should
not reach up and gather most Of the
fruit prematurely. But most Of the
orchards lately are trained with heads
80 low that step ladder set under
them, and one somewhat higher sec
against the outside Of the tree, will
enable the orchardist to gather MS
fruit more easily and safely than ne
could going through the trees accord
ing to the old fashion.

had been plucked green in the wilder
ness Of Shumway street. The new gif5
was willing, but ignorant even Of the

lesson was in lighting the gas. The
kitchen treasure was told by her new
mistress that she was to turn the stop

sf the pipe She seemed to comprehend.
The next day the redheaded girl was
attracted by vile smell issuing FROM
the kitchen. On investigation the Pol
ish exile was found standing beside the
cold water faucet, patiently lighting
matches and holding them under the
stream Of water, which she had turned
ca, only to see them Immediately ex-
6nguished, leaving an odor Of charred
wood behind.

Lecture Recital in Guernsey's Hall
on Friday Evening.

Miss Jean Howison, of Perth, Scot
land. will give leCture-recital from
Ian Naclaren's proSe-ClassiC in Guern-
sey's hall on Friday, Dec 30 at u.
m. The following notice is from late
number of the Wilkes Barre Times:
Every seat in the Young Mems Chris
tian association lecture room was taken
last evening at the readings from Dr.
Watson's works by Miss Jean 1oWiSon,
and every one present went nome dclSht-
cd Mis- llowison'S Cnunciation is all
that could be desired and her Scotch dla-
lcct is simply refreshing. At times she
had many in her audience almost con-
yulsed with laughter; and then, ny intro
ducing a story in different vein, the mer-
,riment subsided and soon tears were seen
coursing down many cheeks. Particularly
was this the case when she related inc
tender and pathetic story of Annie Mitch
ELL who was i'll nigh unto death ana
whose sweet life was spared through the
effort Of the queens surgeon. Coming
as she does from Perth, Scotland, which
is but "A few miles distant from Drum
tochty, the home of Jamie Soutar Drum
sheugh Mrs. MaCFaSden and Dr.
Weelum MacLure, and being familiar
with those now wOrld-famCd and roman
tic localities, Miss HowisOn seems To pos
,oss the peculiar power of clothing her
readings in the picturesque aiWoSpl'''
of those places-a happy faculty f"w
other platform speakers possess. To re-
alize. while listening to her, that she Is
acquainted with the village, and the au-
thor who brought II into prominence,
lends an additional charm to her read
ings and especially SO to those who read
lily understand the Scotch broguc. From
the warm reception she was accorded last
evening the prediction is warranted that
Miss HowisOn will ALWAYS he Il welcome
visitor to this city.
