What to Do With Fowl Droppings.

From the beginning Of December un-
til the end of February fowls are more
closely confined to the honses than at
any other season. The nights are long
and they are on the perch twelve to fif-
teen hours out of every twentv-four
Under such conditions the houses soon
become filthy unless cleaned regularly
We make it it a practice to clean ours
out twice each week When cleaned
out twice a week the task is an easy
one and quickly done because the guam
tity of droppings is small and they are
not stnck fast to the floor. A neighbor
beds his poultry house with cut straw
and cleans out once a week have
tried his plan aud found it very good
one. but | have not time to cut the
straw. so | simply raise the perches aud
scrrpe the floor lightly and quickly with
an implement shaped something like IA
hoe, only foot wide, fastened on the
end of an old rake handle After the
floor is scraped, bucket of dry coal
ashes or little air Stacked lime is scat
tered over it aud all strong odor dis
appears. Perches should always be so
arranged that they can be tilted up so
as to leave the floor clear of all obstruc-
tons, then the cleaning can he done in
D very short time
Whenever the droppings are gathered
they should be spread upon the land at
once. | have found this by far the best
plan Frost and rains will reduce them
to condition suitable for plant food.
Experience has taught me that il is un-
wise to keep them until spring before
apply them to the soil. They give far
better results when takeu direct from
the poultry house and spread where
wanted. | would not advise any one to
apply them to his garden in large guam
titles after the first Of February neither
should they be applied in large quanti-
titles Immediately about fruit trees. |
killed two 6ne, thrifty apple treos. and
almost ruined four more by dumping a
big wheelbarrowful close around each
during the winter. / also spoiled q
garden plat for an early crop by giving
it heavy dressing of fowl droppings in
March. The droppings are an excel
lent fertilizer when applied at the proper
season, but they are plant killer when
used at the wrong time. They give
excellent results when applied with
stable manure A very skillful farmer
of my acquaintance who keeps about $50
fowls in three houses, always applies the
droppings to the land in this way. The
manure is drawn direct from the stables
to the field during the winter months,
and the poultry houses are cleaned out
once a week and the droppings are
thrown in with the stable manure and
spread with them. The heavy crops Of
corn or grass grown on the land whore
they are applied plainly attest their
value Fred GrOndy in Agricultural
Epitomist.

The most of the wealthy farmers of
to-day began under very unfavorable
circumstances. They kept pegging
away and practicing economy to a rea-
sOnsble extent and now they have the
apples Of their eyes. No man will sue
coed at farming who does not really love
to work in the rich, black dirt, and who
thinks be ought to be in courtroom or
administering medicine to the sick. A
farmer must be farmer, soul and bod y;
be must have determination 10 his eye,
aud willingness in his hands.

The cause Of umbrellas wearing out
in little holes at the top is they are rot

The Union, belated as usual, has
come around to publishing a lot of
cackle which has been going the
rounds of the republican papers of
the state for the past six weeks about
Hon. Ben +. Gable repudiating the
silver standard of the democratic
party, and resigning from the demo-
cratic state central committee because
Mr.. Ladd made the representations
that he did as TO Mr.. Cables position
ut the time of the state central COM
mittee meeting last winter when Mr..
Cable was reelected to place on the
committee. The fact that Mr.. Gable
has taken part in the work of the
committee since the time that he was
alleged to have resigned. and that but
a short few weeks ago the republican
papers of the state, including the
Union, were having bad spells over
the conference at Springfield with the
democratic leaders. is the strongest
proof that he is not out of harmony
with the party leaders and principles.
Mr.. Cable is n democrat, and on what
ever platform the party stands in the
next national campaign he will be
found.

WESTERN men will soon be given an
opportunity TO enlist in the United
States navy. A recruiting officer is
to be sent next month to Chicago and

THE story comes from Fostoria,
Ohio, of the coming TO of veteran
named Matthias Steingruber after be-
ing practically asleep for 80 years,
the only semblance of life manifested
in that time being that ne ate and
drank as usual, but otherwise was
dead to all that was going on about
him. Thursday he was atruck by
piece of wood and knocked completely
senseless. When he came to he was
wide awake for the first time since
the Mexican war, was amazed at
what had transpired in the meantime,
and remarked: The world has gone
so far ahead since / lost track of
things that it is too late for me to
catch up" We do not wish any such
rude awakening in the McConochie

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: The
geographical distribution Of red-headed
girls is, fortunately, wide. They can be
found in every inhabited quarter of the
world. The so-called dark races are fire.
quently glqrified by glowing locks. The
Spaniaris are swarthy as a; race, but the.
purest blooded Castilians frequently show
traces OF their Visigothtc blood by blue
eyes and red hair. The Infanta Eu;alie.
who visited this country In 1893, is red
headed. Red-hafred Italians are fairly
numerous in Italy, though not in New.
York They are most numerous in the
northern provinces, where there is the
greatest infusion Of German blood. And
there is no girl in the world prettier than
redhaired Italian or Spaniard, except
It be q redhaired American. In Ireland
redheaded girl is made miserable by
being called q Dane This epithet is a
legacy OF thousand years or more, from
the time when the Danes actually did
override the coasts Of Britain. In SINH
lar manner the Norsemen who invaded
Sicily centuries ago and intermarried with
the tnha bitants left d -scsndants with
cleaning brain matches. The Turks are;
g nghtiiaired, blue-eyed race, and their
child rem are everywhere scattered about
Asia and Northern Africa. And where

In the Grunewald lobby last night and
spun weird yarn through the smoke.
Zone summer evening, years ago. he
said, "I CHANGED to be a passenger on the
through, train between Cincinnati and To-

sultry, and a little party of US, who had
sought refuge in the smoking compart-
ment, threw the rear door wide open. It
was before the days Of yestibules, and
the night wind came rushing In, so bur-
dened with the roar Of wheels that we
could scarcely, hear each other speak.
However, we sat there in our shirt sleeves

:yens, and were getting. along fairly Wen
when all OF a sudden a; big, handsome fell
low In the crowd turned pale as death,
and, leaping to his feet, shesgrabbed the
bellcord and gave 1t three Violent jerks.
The lightninglike fswiftn less of the act and
the horror and consterna ton written on
