A gruesome find was made at
Pineville last week by c. T. Ber-
ry, who while digging up a large
stump on his premises unearthed
the remains of woman. From
the size of the bones and the state
of preservation it seems she must
have been there from three to five
years. A Bible was also found in
a fair state of preservation,

The complete success Of the flu

doubtful from Republican stand

defeat them they are seriously con-

TYPICAL oRAuGHT HORSE.

Have the head of fair size. Do not
buy horse with pony head. A VIDE
forehead is good indication in col /,
the poll being not so wide, as the ears
tend to droop, such horses often being
stubborn in disposition. The eye should
be prominent and the throatlatch clean,
with we'll muscled neck. Do not ask
for coach horse neck on draught
horse. The shoulders should be some
what sloping. Upright shoulders tend
to make the gait stilted. While good
width in front is necessary, the legs
should not be placed to the outside OF
the body. Such horses lack the straight
away gait and tend to roll. The knees
should be broad and the tendons at the
backs of the legs well defined. The
pasterns should be lengthy and set well
back; the foot, large, tough, with no side
bones. At the heart girth the horse
should be deep and full, with short
back and broad lom. The quarters
should be long and level, with heavily
muscled thighs. Especially important
are the hooks, which should be clean,
broad and free from fieshiness, close to-
gether. No good draught horse goes
wide at his hooks. A colt going wide
will tend to go wider with age; conse-
quently loses propelling power. The
limb from heel to fetlock should be per,
pendicular-no curby hooks. The skin
should be clean and the hair fine of the
model draught horse, who must moi
paddle, turn the toes either in or out,
and should show the sole of the foot at
each step.-A. Galbraith, before the
Horse Breeders Association.

DUCKS VERSUS HENS.

In salt meadows and creeks and by
the seashore, bays and inlets, lakes and
ponds, wherever they can pick up part
of their food-,and in some places they
will find most of it-ducks are more
profitable than hens under ordinary cir
cumstances. In the absence of these
natural facilities, ducks are not profit
able to the average poultry breeder. al
though there are well known cases
where they have been protitably raised
on large scale without such water
facilities, but to do so requires much
experience, energy and good markets.
When engagements are made to supply
good customers with first-rate early
ducklings almost double as much is re-
allied as when they are sent to casual
dealers in our large cities.
There is great difference between the
profit of the ducks and hens in autumn
and winter. The ducks eat enormously,
and lay few eggs at that season, while
the hens lay enough to pay for their
food in the least profitable times, and
commence to lay heavily long before the
ducks start. The latter do lay some
eggs in autumn when well fed, but not
enough for profit. There is notable
diversity in the habits of ducks. Some
become quite attached to home, and are
easily managed, while others ramble
away and are very troublesome; nor is
this especially the case with any partic-
ular breed. When breeder finds his
stock is reliable he should not change,
but he should raise his own breeding
birds.-Fanciers' Review.

COVER THEM OVER.

Deck them with garlands, those brothers Of ourA
Lying % silently by night and by day,
Sleeping the years Of their manhood away.
Give them the need they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forecast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.
Cover the hearts that have beaten % high
Beaten with hopes that were doomed but to die
Hearts that have burned In the heat Of the fray
Hearts that have yearned for the home far away.
Once they were glowing with friendship and love-
Now their great souls have gone soaring above.
Bravely their blood to the nation they gave;
Then in her bosom they found them grave.
Cover the thousands who sleep far away,
Sleep where their friends cannot find them todayi
They, who In mountain and hillside and dell,
Rest where they wearied and lie where they fell
Softly the grass blades creep round their repossi
sweetly above them the wild How'ret blows;
Zephyrs Of freedom Ay gently o'erhead.
Whispering prayers for the patriot dead.
When the long years have rolled slowly away,
Fen to the dawn Of earth's funeral day;
When at the angels loud trumpet and tread

FOWL NOTES.

Do not feed sloppy food to the little
chicks. Make the mashes dry and
crumbly.
Bright red combs and wattles are q
truthful indication of healthy and vigor-
Gus fowl.
A liberal use of insect powder in the
nests with the sitting hens is good in
vestment.
Fifty fowl in a flock are enough to
keep together if they are expected to be
profitable layers.
The sitting hen should be kept free
from lice, and immunity will be assured
for the chicks.
Nearly all fowl which feather and ma
ture early are good egg producers, good
sitters and mothers.
Young chickens need to be fed ire,
oueatly, as their crops are small ana
hold but little at one time.
To have a uniform hatch in point OF
time, use fresh eggs only; those under
| two weeks old are preferable.
Bran contains nitrogen aud phosphates
and is a good food for fowl If fed In con-
nection with other things.

The Tents Of
The Silent
SsHoo4soo4-soo4seo.-soo4-se>

The village Of Brokenstraw had two
cemeteries. One lay to the east Of the
settlement, on the road to Birchville.
It was surrounded by a neat, white
picket fence and boasted a large,
square gateway of quite imposing d.
mensions. 1t was laid out in severe
squares and stiff paths and rigid tri-
angles and, like many another country
graveyard, was devoid Of shade.
Every lot was we'll trimmed and care
fully weeded. Many possessed rustic
chairs and benches. Thrift and care
were apparent on every hand. Broken
straw was proud Of the East cemetery
and always pointed 1t out to strangers
with commendable vanity.
"Thar hain't nothin," said Deacon
Paget the oracle Of Brokenstraw-
'thar hain't nothin thet SO sets of a
town as q well kept graveyard. Thar
hain't nothin thet shows the enterprise
Nv the place SO well. Jest look at the
East cemetery an see what the towns
made Nv thet, an then compare 1t with
thet miserable, shiftless buryin ground
on the hill. Why, 'tain't nothin more
nor less than q parsture. It's q dis
grace to the hull community"
The burying ground on the hill was
west Of the village. A wooded height
rose abruptly from the town, and on
its summit was the neglected grave
yard. 1t was lovely spot. Grand old
pines and naples swayed above the
few lonely graves. The mountain lau-
rel and sweet brier perfumed the
woods In summer, and the scarlet tea
berries peeped through the moss in au-
tumn. A winding path, thickly over
hung with outstretching boughs, led
up the hill and around its brow, from
which an extensive view Of the valley
below was obtainable. 1t was a spot
for the poet and dreamer, not for the
typical village materialist.
"The buryin ground on the hilP' was
an eyesore to the hamlet Of Broken
straw. The inhabitants had long de-
sired to obtain possession Of 1t that
they might hew down the mighty
trees, clean out the dense forest under
brush, put up a smart picket fence and
fix things up generally, according to
the standard Of rural graveyard gar
dening.
But the place belonged to private
estate and there was an heir who
steadfastly refused to sell because, he
