Burlington, Feb. s.--The schedule Of
the university Of Vermont base bali

something heard during the talh
about the escape got on to clew.
What heard was this; Only one ar
tiele except food had been sent to the
prisoners. A pious Old lady living up
the river had sent them copy of Bun
yan's "Pilgrim's Progress" But the
book had been well shaken and care
exercised that nothing should be con.
cealed between the leaves. 1t was not
suspected that the book had contained
saws or files The only singular part
OF this matter was that the prisoners
had taken the Pilgrims Progress"
with them.
After the close Of the war learned
the secret. II seems that after the es-
cape one of the Yankees was concealed
for time on the plantation of Tom
Clark. Clark's daughter Helen fell in
love with the fellow and he with her.
Six months after the loss of our cause
this Yankee came down and married
Helen Clark. While here he told the
story Of how he and his comrades got
their tools. Clark, who was rank I'm
ion, took home the Pilgrims Prog
ress" on purpose to put saws into the
thick covers. He didn't dare send the
book direct to the prisoners. expecting
that such an act would implIcate him.
He brought 1t back to me and induced
an old lady to buy It and send II to the
prisoners. When she consented Clark.

KILLED NEW CHARTER.
st. Adams Citizens Reject It BY Large
Vote.

st. Adams, Feb. s.--The new city
charter proposition got the daylights
iambasted out Of it at the special
meeting held last evening, the vote
standing soe no to So yes. The idea
has not been popular with the masses
at any time, and good students of af-
fairs predicted the result accurately.
The meeting was called for eight o'clock
at city hall and long before that hour
knots of men began to arrive from all
sections Of the city and it was soon
apparent that the vote would be over
whelmingly against the scheme. Every
ward in the city was against the pro
position.

10000 PIGEONS ON
PENNSYLVANIA FARM
Output in Young $4,000
Pairs Each Year.

Philadelphia, Sept. 21-When inn
mense 1ocks of wild pigeons abound
ed in the American forests of a CEN
fury or two ago it was perhaps no
unusual thing to see 10000 of these
birds gathered together. But such q
sight is rare today Indeed there is
probably but one place in the entire
United States where so large a flock
of pigeons can be found, and that is
on pigeon farm near the little town
of North Wales in southeastern Penn
sylvania
The birds are housed in a series of
large, airy buildings and provided
with clean and comfortable nests, an
abundance of choice food and suffi-
Gent outdoor space wherein to exer-
else their wings. All day long the
gentle cooling of the thousands of
birds gives musical proof of their con-
tentment. In return for their board
and lodgings they are expected to
hatch out as many squads as possible
and rear them until they are fit for
the market. From this farm is OBJ
tanned the greater portion of the
squads that go to the markets of New
York, Philadelphia and the various
winter and summer resorts of the
east
Pigeon raising, says. E. C. Cum
mings, the man who founded and de-
veloped this farm, is more profitable
and less vexatious than poultry rails
ing, provided the man who under
takes it thoroughly understands the
habits and the needs of pigeons.

with pigeons seven years ago, start.

White county in both branches of the
state legislature, is one of the farmers
who has added rice to his food crops.
Senator Lumsden boasts that he is not
compelled to purchase in town any
single articles except sugar, rice, and
such other products as cannot be rails
ed in the valley.
The rice which is being raised here
is upland rice, and can be grown in
almost any part of Georgia, where the
lowland rice of the seaboard cannot be
grown. The leading counties in the
state in the production of rice are as
follows:
Bryan, Bullock, Burke, Chatham
bingham, Emanuel, Liberty, McIn-
tosh, Screven and Tattnall.
The upland rice is produced with
out flooding the fields While thirty
bushels to the acre is considered a
good average for lowland rice, though
some favored fields produce two OF
three times that much, the farmers in
Nacoochee Valley produce seventy
bushels to the acre. They claim it is
superior in flavor and quality.
Another industry in which Mr.
Lumsden is engaged is the raising OF
goats. Some of those on his place
now are the seventh generation OF
the flock with which he began.

farm about a mile north of North
Wales, in Montgomery county. Since
then he has enlarged his plant from
year to year, until at present six
commodious buildings are in use. The
largest and newest of these, erected
at a cost of $1,000, is $50 feet long,
sixteen feet wide and two stories high,
and in it 1000 birds are housed On
the farm of seventy-two acres all the
feed required for the birds is grown.
Speaking of the feeding of pigeons,
Mr.. Cummings says that if common
sense is used it snot nearly so i'm
portant what is fed as how and when.
The proportions on his farm in winter
are about as follows: Corn, 40 per
cent; wheat, Is per cent; Kaffir corn,
10 per cent; screenings, 10 per cent;
hemp, 5 per cent; rape and miIlet
seed, per cent. In summer less corn
is fed, but more peas and wheat, to-
gether with hulled oats. Green grow

pigeons, though they eat the blades
of grass growing in the aviaries.
AS to the chow and when" of feeding
Mr. Cummings says:
THE object of proper feeding is to
keep the old birds healthy, not too
fat and lazy, and to produce large fat
squads. We feed by hand three times
a day, except July and August, when
two feelings are made to suffice. Each
pen is visited three or four times at
each feeding or as many times as
the birds show disposition for more.
