Every rooster not intended especially
for breeding should be killed or sold as

one good rooster should be kept on any
farm, and that one cooped and mated
with not to exceed ten hens, the eggs
from those hens to be kept expressly
for Matching. The other hens should
be kept especially for eggs for market

allowed among them. On the ordinary

English book collectors are in bad
humor owing to the failure of their
efforts to get the sale of the late Mr..
Augustin Days library transferred to
England. They pour ridicuIe upon the
way in which his books have been
catalogued and sold this week in New
York. Certainly some of the treasures
can be very ill-spared from English
libraries. Six volumes of 'Johnsoni-
ana" contain the MS. of Johnson's
scheme for his dictionary and the
original draft of his immortal letter
to Lord Chesterfield. An extra illus
trated copy of Canon Ainger's edition
of Charles Lambs Letters includes
fifty-eight of the original letters from
Lamb to Manning and Coleridge.
There are also fine Scott and Thack-

NEW ADJUSTMENTS.
Solving the Negro Problem in tue
SOUTH

South.
That there q a negro problem in
the Unite. States is l-eyoed dispute.
1t is also beyond dispute that il is
being worked out on a conservative
plan which is Sire Of success. Prof.
y. S. Shaler, in an article in Apple
tons Popular Science Monthly, says:
The overthrow of the carpet-bag gov
ernments, quietly, yet effectively ac-
complished, removed the only dan
ger of war between the blacks and
whites. We cannot well imagine an
other crisis so likely to bring about
a conflict of that kind. The blacks
We're driven from power Their des-
perate leaders would willingly have
led them to fight, but the allegiance
to the ancient masters was too strong,
their trust in the carpet-bagger, for
all his affectation of love, too slight
to set them on that way. The negro
fell back as near as might be to the
place he held at the close of the war.
His position thereafter was worse
than it was at that station in history,
for the confidence and affection which
the behavior of their servants during
the rebellion had inspired was replac-
ed in the mind of the dominant race
by an abiding sense of the iniquities
in which the ex-slaves had shared.
Thereafter and to this day the black
man is looked upon as political
enemy who has to be watched lest he
will again win a chance to control the
State. In the greater part of the
south this fear is passing away. In
several states new laws concerning
the franchise have made it practically
impossible for the negro vote to be
a source of danger for some time to
come-until, indeed, the negro is bet
ter educated and has property. There
is share of iniquity in these laws, as
there is apt to be in all actions relat-
ing to a situation that rests on an
Gent evils, but their effect is better
than that of terrorism and tissue bal
lots, which they replace. They will
afford time for the new adjustments
to be effected"
