MAUKY'S POULTRY INDUSTRY.
It Am cunts to Many Thousands Of
Dollars Annually.

Farmers of Maury County little
realize the value of the poultry bust
ness done, and less still do they realize
to what magnitude this business might
be increased if special effort and system
could only be used. At present it is
carried on by the housewives yet with
the small attention they give it, more
revenue is derived EACH year than from
the wheat crop.
| AS an indication of the magnitude
of the business one dealer alone, VIM.
Barker, has shipped out of the
county to northern markets since April
7th, Is. $50 dozen eggs and IA, 600 pounds
of poultry. Over 10, 600 hens were busy
du ring the past ten days laying these
1870, $50 eggs and by their industry
something like 50, 225 was brought into
the county Add to this the 1, 400 de-
rived from the poultry shipped by this
one dealer during only ten days, and
we have total of 3d. 625. From this,
some little idea can be formed of the
poultry and eggs shipped by all the
dealers of the county during the year.
Then, many thousands of dollars worth
of poultry and eggs are consumed at
home during the year.
1t has been estimated that half
million dollars is about the amount
the business is worth during twelve
months, but this is doubtless far short
of the real value.
Mr.. Barker has shipped during these
ten days two solid cars of eggs and one
car of live poultry The eggs went
direct to New York, where they were
put in cold storage by the egg trust
and will be sold about Christmas time
to the people of the metropolis at 90
cents or more dozen.

Luther's Home Life.

The world would have lost great
deal if Luther had never married.
IT. would have lost one of the most
beautiful pictures of home life that
history has eyer painted. There
! was picty in that home. 1t was a
home of prayer and praise. The
Bible was more than an ornament on
the parlor tablet was the daily
bread, in spiritual sense, of Luther's
household. The singing Of hymns,
which played so prominent a part in
spreading the Reformation doctrines,
was a daily occupation. Luther
believed in making melody with
instrument, voice and heart, and had
a rather lively conviction that music
was the best lash with which to
drive the devil out of the home.
The picture beautifully represents
this feature Of his ho-nc life-a fea-
ture that should be more generally
prevalent than it is.
But one of the rare beauties in
Luthcr's character was absence of
gloomy, long-faccd picty. His spirit
was as joyous as his faith, and, in
spite of heavy responsibilities that
would have crushed most men, he
was brimful of humor, and could
rolick as freely and boisterously as
an overgrown boy. There was some
thing so natural and domestic about
this great man that his home life
became a model for all time. He
speaks playfully of his wife as, "My
lord Katie" or as "Cathcrinc, my
dear Rib"

A Bishops Story.

One of the Southern bishops en-
joys telling the following story on
his own daughter: Strongly imbued
with her fathers doctrine, she had
grown up strict Episcopalian and
had never attended a revival or
camp meeting in her life, although,
as her. younger brother remarked,
"Tbe woods were full of them"
When she was about 16 she went
to visit an old friend of her mother
in New York, and her hostess, after
much persuasion, prevailed on her
to go to hear Tom Harrison, the
famous boy evangelist.
"But, Mrs. Burnett" she had finally
objected, suppose he should speak
to me. I'd be so frightened l
shouldn't know what to say"
"Why, Virginia" her hostess had
replied, "thc church will be so
crowded that nothing is more un-
likely than he should single out
either one of u.s."
But the girls fears were realized.
AS the great preacher left the pull
pit and passed down the aisle, ex-
horting first this one, then that one,
he paused at the pew where the
bishops daughter was seated.
sMy dear child" he said earnestly,
"are you a Christian 2''
"N-no, sir" she replied, "I'm an
Episcopalian."
With a twinkle in his eye the
evangelist passed on without ano-
ther word.-Detroit Free Press.
