Ministers Try different Devices.

To satisfy the Government at home,
as well as to take advantage of the
popular outburst in favor of the black
coat, and at the same time avoid the
ridicule certain to follow an appear

of our ministers resorted to humiliat-

shad-bellied black velvet embroidered
coat and smallclothes of the Munich

been worn by DR.. Franklin. Mr..
Buchanan wore black or blue coat,
white waistcoat, smallclothes, silk
stockings, a sword and chapeau bias.
Mr.. Dallas adopted the same costume

FED TO DEATH.

Too many poul.s are fed to death;
that is, they will be fed five or six
times a day around the house, which
is all right if you have the range.
but one should be very careful and
use good judgment and feed pure
food, and feed regularly at the same
hour each day. Turkeys that are
fed to death are starved one day and
gorged the next. One should be very
careful and never neglect feeding his
poults when they are depending on
regular hours for feeding. Poults
are very sensible and will watch for
You at the hour of feeding, and /.
you fail to appear they are disap-
pointed, and the neglect seriously at
fects them. Many times whole broods
have died on account of lack of food
at the proper time.-Wisconsin Ayr

The humorous editor of the Epson

following: His horse went dead and
his mule went lame, and he lost six
cows in a poker game; then a hurri-

blew the house where he lived away.
and the earthquake came when that
was gone and swallowed the land that
the house was on; then the tax col
lector came round and charged him

DUE TO A MUD HOLE.

Eight years ago a Missouri farm.
/, er tried to drive out from town one
day in rainy spring. 1t was a river
bottom road and the soil was deep.
Although he had light rig and q
strong horse he stuck, and that with
in sight of home. too.
It made him indignant, says Hamp-
tons. There and then he resolved
that it would never happen again. 1t
has not, and in carrying out his re
solve, D. Ward King has changed
the laws of six States.
To find a method to keep Missouri
country roads so that driver would
aot be in danger of miring in the
spring was a big task, but it was
accomplished by very simple de-
vice two split logs and a few scraps
of iron.
This farmer, who lives a mile and
half from Maitland, Mo-, is known
the United States over as the Good
Roads Man He is the father of
improved roads. He builds earth
roads, not railroads.
The middle west has always been
held back by poor country roads.
There are no turnpikes and but lit
tie gravel in the deep, black, rich
soil. AS a result, the roads become
almost impossible during the rainy
season. Railroads Jagged, for the
farmers could not get to town; towns
became sleepy, for there was no one
to buy. E4
Impressed by the fact that ground
at the end of the corn rows sheds
water much better after it has been
gone over. with the ridge drag, Mr..
King resolved to try q similar de-
vice on the country roads. He hit
upon simplicity itself-A+two iron shod
boards on edge held together with
iron stays.
The boards are placed edge down
and the platform is dragged over the
roads by a team. The first plank
smooths down the clods and the sec
ond one packs the ground. The
roads are dragged after a rain while
they are moist but not sticky. This
packs the ground, facilitates drying
and turns the water at the next rain.

FIGHT THE LICE.

Early spring is q good time to fight
lice and other insect pests. They
breed rapidly at that season, but q
little attention will insure compare

A REsULTFUL CAMPAIGN.

The New York Herald has distin7
guished itself by many achievements
of note, and one Of the best move
ments in which it has engaged is
the good roads campaign which it
il carrying on through the South.
The reports which come from the
crusaders indicate that preaching the
gospel of good roads is bringing
about most satisfactory results. The
South, which is showing so much en-
terprise in other directions, might be
expected to take hold in earnest
when once aroused to the necessity
and practical value Of improved high

NOTES.

The critical period in the young
! turkeys life is generally at an end
when six weeks Of age. Inbreeding,
lice, dampness and improper food are
the main causes for great mortality.
About the first half of June the
old toms in the turkey flock become
cross and must, not by any chance
be confined in a yard or building
with any of the poults. or they will
be likely to attack and kill them.
The trap nest is regular detec-
tive. 1t tells the facts of the case,
1t tames the hens. it gives accurate
reports, it arrests the robber hens,
it gives an honest count, and 1t ex-
poses the fraudulent hens.
What this country needs is more
poultry keepers. The call is not for
large establishments, but for good,
sized fiocks of pure bred fowls on
every farm. The general farmer is

out of poultry
