Fowl. Require kxercisn.

Fowls that are expected to lay in
winter require exercise. Feeding
should not be too often. When mlllet
seed is scattered In litter. OF over a
wide surface. the hens will be kept
busy seeking them. In the spring the
hens will begin laying as soon as the
weather becomes mild. This shows that
warmth controls egg production to n
certain extent. 1t is in the spring that
the hens can seek variety of food, as
worms, seeds and grass can then be OBJ
tanned. The breed Of fowls is not so
important as management In winter,
for the tendency of birds is not to lay
during the cold weather, but in spring
and summer.

Tor Clean Milk.

Poor butter is very often the result Of
impurities that get into the milk at
milking time. Cloth strainers will
help matters materially. but first of all
thoroughly rub the cows udder with
piece of burlap before milking. The

ers can be made by the tlnsmith after

Tho Care of Palms.


About all our palms require Is that
all dust be kept Off the foliage. This
Is Of the utmost Importance, as palms
positively refuse to do well otherwise.
See that they have moisture supplied
to the roots as needed, which In spring
and summer should be about every
day. In fall and winter they require
only moderate watering. They can
be grown from seed. but it is slow
work, and 1t is better to get those
already started. The scale insect Is
their worst enemy. A wash of dilute
alcohol will kill it, but must be washed
Off we'll afterward. A wash of weak
lye soap is the best preventive, but,
like the alcohol. must be rinsed of well
at once. Go all over the plant and
leave no spot untouched with the soap.
Palms should have soil composed
Of good garden soil, leaf mold, rotted
cow manure and sand, one-half Of
garden soil, and tbo other half equal
parts. of the rest. The roots grow
downward. consequently they require
deep pot. Put in pots just large
enough to supply their wants, make
the soil light and lirm. arrange for
good drainage. and place the crown
so it will be just above the soil.-Mrs.

The Ambitious Hatpin.

A plain hatpin is uncommon nova
days, although the jeweled ones cost
pretty penny. Those formed with

clash with any of the hat trimmings,
or a crystal ball, covered with trellis.

Many a pretty hatpin may be made
out of those old earrings which most
people are burdened with and regard
only as a super1uity; small canoes
set in gold, onyx, or comedians only
require strong pin attached to them
to turn them into useful as well as or
namental hatpins. A set Of silver or
antique buttons is another gift which
is fashionable this year, the more
unique and old the specimen the better.

A Hundred Years Hence.

The twentieth century is not closing
without issues to be settled, says John
Bates Clark, in the Atlantic. You know
what foreign relations now mean; not
n struggle to keep from fighting, but
an effort to adjust trade connections
and other vast and involved interests.
The very intimacy in which nations
live. while 1t guarantees peace, makes
work for the international courts. In
individual morality we are not yet at
the portal of the millennium; for pros
perity has brought its sore temptations.
Here, indeed, our gains seem to be in
some danger, and in this direction the
strongest effort is needed in order to
save them. A certain manly quality
in our people gives assurance that
We have the personal material out
of which a millennium may grow.
Fraternity abounds where once it was
rare. We can all look with liberation
ON our new billionaires. knowing, as
we do, how little the excess of their
fortunes really does for them. In the
retrospect it seems to ME as If the
ship that carries our fortunes had once
been half disabled by storms, but had
outrldden them, and were well ON its
way to port. More wealth, strength
and virtue are yet to be attained, and
in the struggle against evils we shall
gain moral stamina. There are con-
tests enough still in progress to give
virllity to the popular character. You
have work before you, children of the
twenty-first century; but my hope is
that the area of greatest danger has
been passed, and that your tasks will
be lighter than ours have been, and
your strength greater.

In Turkey, Cyprus, Syria and Crimea
all sorts of knick-knacks. such as pock-

 Joy Trial.

Gadsden, December S.-(Special) )-The verdict in the impeachment proceed ings of Judge J. H. Lovejoy, probate judge of Etowah county, was not a sur prise to the citizens of this county-it was what was expected.

Miss Clifton and friend were playfully scufhing when she was jerked towards her companion, who had a hat pin sticking in her cloak. The pin stuck Miss Clifton in the eye. Upon examina- tion it was found that sight was destroy ed and she will lose her eye.
 Mrs. James M Hooper died at her home near Slackland several days ago, from dropsy Mrs Hooper was 40 years old and had been i'll some time.
