The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier, In that he
has lone all of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether the
hens from which he has been breeding
were producing sixty eggs a year or
200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out a foul flight
feather or two, or to create q better
comb, or eyes Of a better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else The result
is that when a farmer goes into the
market to buy thQroughbreds with his
money in his pocket ready and willing
to pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays
a premium for something that
has beer obtained at a sacrifice
Of the very qualities which he does
need. There are a few men, however,
raising thoroughbred stock that is
bred to lay" or to meet certain market
demands, and those are the men that
should be p~atronized.

body. 1t is claimed that chickens
should have as much care as a human
being to insure the best results, ana
modern methods certainly tend in that
direction. The chicken coop shown here
is a good example. 1t is simple, etti-
Gent and durable. AS shown here it Is
rectangular in form, being made OF
sheet metal. The top and sides are
cent to shape, with tianges at the bot
tom which connect with the flooring.
At each side are supports which hold
the coop slightly above the ground,
tending to keep the coop moisture
proof and preventing rain or other
water from entering. At each end are
perforated doors, which are very easi-
ly held in position. IT the bottom Of
each door is an extension, through
which passes q rod, the latter extend
ing through the top of the coop and
also into the ground, preventing the
coop from being displaced. In this way
the fowl are rendered safe against the
attacks Of animals.

SKIN ERUPTIONs IS YEARS.
Suffered Severely with Eczema AL
Over Body-A Thousand Thanks
to Cuticura Remedies.

60 SuLlCuTa IsSIlCulSS.
For over ~thirty-five years l was a
sever sufferer from eczema. The
eruption was not confined to any one
place. 1t was all over my body, limbs,
and even IN my head. 1 am sixty years
old and an old soldier, and have been
examined by the Government Board
ove fifteen times, and they said there
was no cure for me l have taken all
kinds of medicine and have spent large
sums Of money for doctors, without
avail. A short time ago I decided to
try the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using tive cakes Of Cuticura Soap, two
boxes Of Cuticura Ointment, and two
bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent, two
treatments in all, l am now well and
completely cured. A thousand thanks
to C%uticura. 1 cannot speak too high

Flogging is still allowed in English
prisons as a punishment for mutiny or
Violence, but recently published statis-
tics make it doubtful whether even in
these extreme cases corporal punish
ment serves the purpose for which it
is intended. 1t is shown that since the
number of prison offenses for which
flogging was allowed was reduced in
1898, the number of offenses against
prison discipline has decreased from
LAT to 131 per 1000 prisoners, while
there has been an increase in the num-
Der of those o~ffcnses for which the
"cat' is still the penalty.

Forcing Nature.

There are more than 10000 establish
ments in the country for raising early
vegetable plants under glass. Within
a radius Of fifteen miles OF boston
there are nearly 100000 square feet
of glass used in forcing vegetables.
Near Providence, r. l., are fully ten
acres of glass for the same purpose
The suburbs of New York, Chicago and
other big cities use nearly 5,ooo,ool
SQUARE feet of glass for strictly vege
table and early fruit culture, and the
glass alone used in thus forcing nature
Is worth millions.-Leslie's Weekly.

machinery is now being shipped into

This exposure means an appalling
financial loss to the farmers, since it re-

Says Cancer Is IncurabIe.

Sir Thomas Barlow, physician to the
British royal family, who sailed from
New York recently, after a weeks visit
in this country, during which he attended
the dedication Of the Harvard medical
buildings, said that the medical profession
was no nearer to the cause or the cure of
cancer than it was 100 years ago. "We
still are delving, and hoping" he said.
1--WE are making progress slowly, but we
are not yet in sight of the goal. Asser-
tons have been made that the germ has
been isolated. This statement is false.

Germ as the time for picking apples APP

can convert this defective fruit into

simple. But where neither method Of

is possible it is a question what is the
best thing to do. An effective method
of disposing of such apples and one
(which gives q certain return is to turn

clean them up. This not only disposeS

Crab grass is like the dog in the
manger, it kills out every other stem
of green grass Il then turns brown
itself. 1t makes a coarse and ugly
cover In the lawn and the individual
who attempts to eradicate it by dig
cling and cultivation may be entirely
without a lawn for two or three years.
If anything can get the best Of crab
grass in a fair contest, it IS white
clover. In a number of lawns in Wash
lngton and elsewhere white clover has
furnished the means for a final vic
tory over crab grass. The white clov-
err gradually invades the area Of crab
grass, replacing the latter with a close,
dark-green carpet.

A CARD.
Mr. Editor:
Tazewell, Va, July 81.

1dHCMtBs as Jul o.
Mr.. Editor:
On my return from attendance upon
the Farmers Institute at Roanoke,
which absence was prolonged by a
week or ten days visit 10 relatives and
friends in Staunton, and Augusta
county, was surprised TO learn that
at Democratic mass meeting held in
Tazewell during my absence, for the
purpose OF electing delegates to re-
present the party in the approaching
Congressional Convention at Bristol,
that my name had been brought for
ward as candidate for Congress.
Now, Mr. Editor, while thanking my
friends for their complimentary con-
sideration, and with the fullest appre-
citation Of their partiality for an old
and tried Democratic friend. may by
space say that, conseientiously, was
in no sense a party TO the presentation
OF my name, and can account in no
way tor the mistake made by my
friends who brought up the matter.
otherwise, than to conclude that in a
few discussions of the approaching
convention, and the importance Of a
wise choice for a candidate, and Of the
necessity for thorough and close or
ganization, i, in common with others
present, gave fully and warmly my
views, as to mistake heretofore made
and as TO the proper conduct of the
approaching canvass, taking the posi-
ton, that Il the right man be selected
to make the race, and an earnest, ag-
gressive, and determined convass be
waged, that 1 could see no good reason
why we cannot recover the Ninth dis
trict from Republican control. Neither
can see today why this should not
be accomplished.And to this end, l shal
bend with what little of energy, know
ledge and influence, l may be premit
ted to exert, for the nominee of the
Bristol convention, be he an honest
intelligent citizen OF the district, anC
sound in his Democracy in it's highes
sense. !
Out OF this discussion, the misappre
hension above alluded TO, any desire OF
my part, for the nomination, mus
have grown.
Again, thanking you for the courtes.
of space, 1 am, Respectfully,
A. j. TYNEs
