taken by Michael Shane of the Eighty

"When McCloud came on duty at

however, he had beat retreat, but
not before the officer had seen him

midnight, and sent for a plain-clothes

operations of tobacco growing, says
the Orange Judd FARMER. 1t Is the
well-known policy Of most tobacco
growers to plant more seed and have
larger beds than necessary when the

plants. w. S. Belmer Of Connecticut.

In which he was sure to grow as many
and healthy plants as he wished. The
cost Of this bed, he claims, is about
one and one-half days extra labor. or
three dollars more than what his old
beds cost him. This seed bed, as
illustrated above. is Al feet wide. 81

The average man will do little bet

that he will have less difficulty in dis

could be found in popularity Of the
Hampshire hog. On account Of the
growthiness of this breed, their pro.

guinea hens that have been confined
for season or whose ancestors have
been treated as domestic fowls, the
birds will, In time, become almost as
tame as chickens.
When the hens are left out in the
open they make their nests In brush
heaps or out-of-the-way places, and
when their nest is once located they
rarely leave the vicinity, and 1t is,
therefore, easy to find the nests. II

Unless the guinea hen is confined
she will take her brood on jong jour

many are likely to die from this
cause.
One difficulty about raising guineas
is that the young birds are very easily
killed by mites and lice. They are
apparently more tender than the
chickens and many will quickly die
