carried on ia a very satisfactory manner.
The entire distance over which conversation
was held was "a miles. and it was very
distinct 1t is expected that the line will be
formally opened here this week. The ex-
change will probably be located on the third
floor of the Marr block, The evening Tele-
gram office will be connected with the new

was commanded by Captain John J..
Bro0me, the feet marine officer.
Upon the fall of New Orleans the
city was occupied pending the arrival OF
General Butler with the army, by a
small force of marines under Captain
Broome. This detachment was nu-
merically inadequate to restore order
out of the chaos which existed, but ef
fectively guarded the public buildings,
including the City Hall and the Custom
House, upon which the Union flag was
kept flying, despite the threats OF the
populace. Captain Broome was three
times brevetted for gallant and meri-
torious service, and was recommended
by a board of admirals for special pro-
motion. Notwithstanding the efforts
of Admirals Farragut and Porter,
Broome, however, never received from
Congress the promotion thus earned
Not all the landings of the marines
have been upon American soil. In the
attack upon the Corean forts, i'm June,
1871, the brigade from the American
fleet numbered 651 men, OF whom 1O5
were marines, under cOinmand of Cap
tain McClane Tilton. The Corean tiger
hunters defended their citadel with
desperate courage, but we're no match
for the energetic onslaught of the blue
jackets and the steady discipline of the
marines. Lieutenant Mckee and Lieu
tenant-Commander (now AdmiraD
Schley, were the first to leap upon the
parapet, the former to fall mortally
wounded. The marines displayed their
usual valor and the honor of hauling
down the Corean colors was assigned
to Captain Tilton.
The motto of the marine corps is
Semper Fidelis,' always faithful.
From the establishment of the corps
during the revolution up to the pres
ent time the marines have nobly lived
up to this motto. and have upon count
less occasions shed lustre upon the
glory OF the American arms. To-day
all the world knows of the brilliancy of
their exploits at Guantanamo. The
heroism they displayed there in the
face OF overwhelming odds is charac-
teristic of the marines.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

The Java fowls are the same size,
shape and about the general makeup
of the Rocks, but they mature earlier,
commence to lay earlier, and lay more
eggs.
Changing quarters during the laying
season will check egg -pTotuction.
There is nothing gained by it II the
fowls are always accommodated with
clean quarters.
Give your fowls lime. Bury few
large Jumps of lime in the moist earth
where the hens frequent. Allow the
lime to project little above the surface
to attract them. Lime in the shape of
old plaster is also excellent.
Do not forget that the Ratchet is the
best remedy for sick fowls, but do not
apply it in very mild cases. a little cold
in fowls may terminate in roup, but a
free use of coal oil applied to the nos
trils, mouth and throat will usually
keep it in check.
The male birds are half the flock.
Scarcely anyone now thinks of going
through the poultry season without
stocking up with thoroughbred roosters
of the variety they prefer, or the differ
ent varieties, if they prefer an assort-
ment. 1t is truly wonderful the
change that can be made on any flock
thus.-National Rural.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-11-20
Creamery Reports.

The creamery reports for September
show good healthy tone in the but
ter markets, that enabled them to pay
very good prices for milk for that
month. In Vermont the prices paid
a pound for the butter by the cream
cries very generally went from 10 to
20 cents, or in the vicinity Of sl.09 a
hundred pounds for milk. Occasion
ally one went little higher but gen.
orally the prices were fixed and firm.
This certainly has been satisfactory
to the patrons as at these prices but a
small margin was left to the farmers
who made their own butter. 1t is
probable the prices for October milk
will be still higher.
Prices for dairy products have been
very satisfactory the present season,
and the prospect is that those who
have winter diaries will do unusually
well. This should encourage farmers
to do the best possible for their cows,
as there will be IA reasonable certainty
of getting good results in return.
Cheese makers have done remark
ably well the past season and the
stock will soon be out of first hands.
Prices now are very high owing to the
comparatively small stock ON hand.
This will in a measure check importa
ton and leave more for the home
trade.
1t certainly seems that it would be
profitable to make more cheese in this
country. Prices are correSpoQdingly
higher than for butter, and if more
cheese was made it would tend to
make them more nearly equal. With
good cheese at fair price much more
would be consumed by the people,
and thus a profitable home market
maintained. These things are worth
considering by our farmers and manu-
facturerS.
Besides, when in the silo it is prop
erly protected, convenient and ready
for useswhen wanted, with no further
trouble, the crop being removed from
the field at time of harvest leaves it in
condition for work at once, which is
often quite a consideration.
There is less work in feeding ensi-
lagc than the cured corn; there is
very little waste, and in our own eX-
perience, all things considered, the
crop must have been worth nearly
twice as much as when fed whole in
the cured condition.
Should like to know how this cor
responds with the experience of others.

ITALIANIZING BEES.
Fall Is the Best Season for This Work
as Queens Can Then BE
Had Cheaply.

Autumn is the best time to Italianize
bees. Queens can be secured at half
price during the fall months, and by
thus changing queens we have the adj
vantage of the Italian stock the follow
ing spring. We can successfully intro
duce queens during the fall months as
long as the weather is warm enough to
handle bees. At the price queens can be
bought for now it almost pays to re-
queen every colony that has queens
over one year old, with young queens
of the present seasons raising.
Young queens introduced now will
produce good supply of late bees that
will withstand the winter and, as a
result, will come out strong in the
spring. Young queens will, rs a rule,
lay a good supply of eggs during the
fall months, when old queens will cease
laying entirely in midsummer unless
there is an unusual flow of honey late
in the season or they are supplied with
feed.
The usual course pursued in chang
ing queens, or introducing the same is,
first remove the old queen; and it is
preferable to place her in q cage and
preserve her until the new queen is
safely introduced and laying. If any
mishap occurs to the new queen the
old one can be returned In frame
hives it is an easy matter to find the
queen by simply lifting out the frames
and carefully looking them over; the
queen being much larger than the
worker bees, is readily detected. In
other hives that are not movable frame,
or in common box hives. it is not i'm
possible. but they may be Italianized
also.-Natlonal Rural
