Lincoln as a LAWYER,

A leader of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia a story
of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
when Lincoln was practising law"
he said, "he had case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, retired paper manufactur.
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
Mr.. Dash, Lincoln said to this
witness, handing him the disputed
will, please hold that paper up to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on it.
" The water mark of my own firm.
Blank &c Co. the witness answered.
When did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?
In 1S41.'
And what's the date of the docu-
ment in your hands,?

the jury our case is closed"

CROWS AND CATS,
What They Are Doing to Destroy
lneect-Eatng Birds.

The two minor problems of the farm
to which we call attention are crows
and cats, in their relation to bird life,
and indirectly to the multiplication of
injurious insects, says the Farm Jour-
nal. A friend up state sends us the
following:
People who do not know that young
crows are almost exclusively fed on
the young of other birds, or on the
farmers chicks, don't know the
crows life history-that every grown
crow costs from three to six dozen
young birds to feed him while in the
nest, for the old crow cannot catch
insects, being too clumsy; nor has he
the capacity of the hawk to catch
mice.
The crow may be benefit in the
tropics, whore birds multiply too fast,
and is not restrained by serpents and
crows, and in other ways, they would
devour all crops. But in the temper

numbers and drives them from their
hunting grounds.
And when the poor, prosecuted
birds come to nest near the dwellings,
in country or town, they are met and
devoured by the modern cats; they
have no place to rear their young, or
even to stay in safety We must have
cats, perhaps, as a defense against
rats; but there used to be cats that
would catch rats and not birds. And
there can be again, just as we have
cats that will leave young chickens
alone.
Those who really desire to prevent
the destruction OF all the small birds,
except the sparrows, need to do more
than scold at tho women for wearing
parts of birds on their hats; which
make a big show, as is the purpose,
but which amount TO nothing COM
pared to the destruction by the crows
and. cats. And are they not mostly
tropical birds? Who ever recognized
any of our birds on a woman's hat?
They are not gay enough for the
ladies'.

boys who make the best men. Almost
any boy can be taught to make close
acquaintances with young animals on
the farm, and such instructions are
very valuable to him.
A great deal depends on the par.
ents, says the Farm, Field and Fire.
side. If the "old man" yells around
the barnyard and keeps a club or two
handy to whack the animals with
when they get in his way, the boy is
very apt to initiate his fathers ex-
ample. Such men generally complain
that farming doesn't pay. The re-
suit is that the boy goes off to town
to hunt up something that will pay.

In poultry raising il pays To start

very bad start, says the Farmers

upon himself the carrying on OF Il war;

not been. He found it easy to keep
the lice and diseases away. But in

The purchased birds introduced both

an absolutely clean start. The entire
establishment should be perfectly free
from diseases and from any insects
that infest poultry. We believe that
If there are no insects there will be
little or no disease. Without doubt
insects often help the spread of dis.
eases. 1t is best to use the greatest
precautions in commencing, and to-
start clean If possible. Every bird
should be thoroughly washed with
soap suds. The showmen wash their
birds so thoroughly that if an insect

hold their birds over pan of water

part OF the coat of feathers. When the
birds are dropped they are as clean as

The condition they should be in when
they are put into the new poultry
house and new yard that are the be-
ginning of a new poultry establish

that are annually such a drain on our
for it must be recognized
that lice and mites cost great deal
OF money by reducing the vitality of

A4A E. Mound Street. Coirm5ms. Ohio.
LAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It
is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna a trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to
many people.
