An Excellent Treasury Showing.

There was net balance in thn treas
ury on the goth of $132, ,179, which is
pronounced a better showing than at
this time last year. During the day
there was paid tn $4,000, the bulk COM
ing from the penitentiary. Commits
sioner Nixon turned in S13,697 %, the
greater proportion coming from the
mines. There was paid out during the
day $3.50 on judicial salaries. The
excellent showing of the State fnan-
cially just at present is very largely
due to the insurance Department., which
last month turned over something like
S70,0 900.

killed in some districts, while hundreds
of acres of strawberry plants are dried
up and are complete loss. The esti-
mated damage to date is very great.

Damage by Wind Storm.

A severe wind storm passed over
Harpeth, Williamson county, last week.
Quite a number of houses were un-
rooted and one barn blown to pieces.
Many outhouses were completely de-
mollshed. Growing crops suffered i'm
mensely. Corn was blown to level
and will be materially injured, while
seed millet and broom corn were en-
tirely ruined. A great deal of timber
was blown down and orchards were al
most entirely ruined. The path of the
storm was about half a mile wide and
extended for distance of three miles.
The amount of damage done in the

Attempted Jail Delivery.

A wholesale Jail delivery was at
tempted at Clinton, Anderson county,
one night last week. Fourteen men
attacked Jailer Abner Hankins when
he went to give the prisoners their sup
per. He resisted the attack and fred
several times. One bullet struck James
Palmer, who was charged with larceny,
but he escaped. Charles Troute also
escaped. Both were subsequently,
captured. The jailer made a brave
fight against the prisoners, many of
whom were desperate men, and who
are held on serious charges. The Jail
is modern structure, and escape could
be effected in no way other than over
powering the jailer and using his keys.

The North British Liable.

The State insurance department
holds the North British and Mercantile
Insurance Company is liable on Traders
Insurance Company policies held in
Tennessee. When the North British
and Mercantile took over the business
of the Traders last April it was
stipulated in reinsurance contract that
the contract was to be void If the con-
sideration agreed on was not satisfied.
Later it developed that the Traders was
insolvent to the amount of about $751;
600, and the North British and Mercan-
tile company has notified its agents
that the contract to carry o1t the busi-
ness of the defunct company is can
celled. 1t is probable that the matter
will have to be taken to the courts for
adjustment. Most of the business of
the Traders was handled from Chatta-
nooga, although it did business all over
Tennessee.

The Independent Farmer.

Some of the Western farmers who
make a speciality of one crop, whether
it is grain, beef, cattle or hogs, or ex-
tensive orchards, are inclined to sheer
at the small farms and garden patches
of the Eastern States, and often the
Eastern farmer envies the man who
can sell thousands Of dollars worth at
one time, but it is the small farmer
with a few acres and diversified farm
ing who is really the Independent
farmer. He grows vegetables and
fruits for his own use, has milk and
butter in plenty, fattens his beef and
pork, and perhaps mutton, and album
dance Of poultry and eggs, and If every
railroad in the country is blockaded he
is in no danger of staryation.-Ameri-

Eggs for Matching.


Eggs for Matching should be gathered
almost every hour during the day. says
a poultry writer in the Homestead.
When the egg is laid it is in its high
est state of freshness. If left in the
nest and one hen after another permit
ted to sit upon it the heat will start In
cubation, and if it is exposed to lower
temperature afterward, the germ is
killed and the egg decays. This is one
cause of so many spoiled eggs that is
not generally known or needed by poul-
trymen. If the weather is cold they
should be gathered often to prevent
them chilling. Thee may not be so
much as to actually freeze an egg, but
it may be cold enough to chill it so 1t
will not hatch. An egg Is not frozen
so as to crack the shell until the Their
mometer reaches 10 to Is degrees,
which is a point lower than should be
reached in any poultry house. After the
eggs have been gathered they should
be kept at about a temperature of 80
degrees and never be subjected to any
lower temperature than about 40 for
safety.

have it's best variety. The English
choose the Aylesbury, the French the
Rouen, but on this continent, having
no special national bird, we choose
that which makes the most money.
And by the general verdict of those
who keep ducks for profit in large
quantities, the Pekin is the best Of all
breeds for money-making. Experience
has shown that this duck makes ten to
twelve pounds the pair at the same
age at which the Rouen duck weighs
eight pounds to the pair, which under
the best management is when ten to
twelve weeks old, and with precisely
the same consumption of food. This
duck is sufficiently strong skinned to
dress without tearing, and has no dark
pinfeathers to blemish it's appearance
at the market age as the Rouen has.
On every large duck farm where thou
sands are reared every year for mar
ket, the Pekin is universally the kind

Rearing Ducks for Market.

There are several kinds of ducks
reared for market, but it is the most
profitable one which should be chosen.
Fancy often stands i'll the way Of this
matter of profit. The poultry keeper
is too apt to look at his fowls through
the spectacles of fancy, and if his
birds please his fancy, he has plenty
OF excuses to make for defects. But
this is not business, and when it is the
money coming in which is left to tell
the story, the tale is quite different. AS
regards ducks, especially, there is a
great difference in the kind and breed.
Kind is distinguished from breed here
for the reason that there are many
kinds, good, bad, and Indifferent, and
shades between, OF every breed; and
sometimes it is true that breed gains
or suffers through the management.
But figures won't lie, unless they are
forced to by too much pressure. And
honest figures prove distinctly that
there are ducks which surpass others
in relation to breed. Fancy goes long
way, and so each country seems to

Early Plants for the Garden.

Those who have an incubator brooder
may have green house on small but
effective scale. Dig hole in the ground
large enough to admit the brooder in
some sunny sheltered spot, bank pit
on north side eighteen inches high and
have tight wood or canvas cover for
use at night and stormy weather. The
brooder is placed in this pit and the
opening to the sun is closed. Three
inches of good garden soil is placed in
the brooder. The seeds are planted
in this soil and the proper temperature
maintained by means Of the boiler
heated by lamp. A thermometer will
be used to test, the heat. One can raise
their early garden plants iny/ this way
with but little expense and less labor
than the old-fashioned method of
planting seeds in boxes placed in the
kitchen.

Watering stock.

If one figured up the time spent evi
cry year or every winter in driving
cattle quarter Of a mile to the brook
and back again, twice or even once a
day, and computed it a fair price for
labor, and then added to it the value of
the milk lost and the extra food con-
sumed to keep up the system to its
normal temperature, he would find
that from even few cows it would
not take long to reach the cost of a
good cistern, or some other method of
having the water right in the yard, or
even in the stalls so that the cattle
could drink without man or beast go
ing out of doors. !

that he would be unable to solve the mys-

considerable money in his efforts to solve
the mystery of perpetual motion.
