For fattening chickens buttermilk
has a feeding value above 30 cents per
100 pounds. This Is considerably in
advance of its value for feeding hogs.
One of the best things to keep chicks
in good health is to have granulated
charcoal before them at all times II
is the best corrector Of the stomach
that can be given them.
There is nothing that the chickens
enjoy more when confined within their
quarters than bank of fallen leaves
in which to scratch and explore for in
sects that are alternating among them.
II is impossible to succeed in raising
turkeys unless yon have ample range
for them. wooded range Is most
suitable. and under these conditions
the birds get much of their food with
out expense TO their owner.
No other one thing will cause young
chicks TO make so fine development.

that manure may prove detriment
rather than benefit when its appli

or oat crop.
But to the man who makes practice
Of growing a cultivated crop each year
the disposal of the annual accumula
ton Of barnyard manure presents no
serious problem. He will apply the
manure to the land which Is to receive
the cultivated crop.
There are two good reasons for sug
costing that whenever possible barn
yard manure should reach the fields

of the year. First, there Is less waste

use even before the crop Is planted.
Fall blowing, especially when left
rough, also puts the soil in the best
possible condition for the absorption
and retention Of the winter and spring

NEGLECT OF HOME DUTIES.

Many of our business men are tempted
to neglect their home duties How
often ii is that the store and. the home
seem to clash but there should be no
clash or trouble. 1t is very often the
case that the father is the mere treasurer
OF the family, and merely to see that
they have dry goods and groceries. The
work of the family government he does
not touch. Once or twice in a year he
calls I'D the children on a SUNDAY after
noon, when he has a half hour that he
does not know what to do with. and in
that half hour he discipnes the children
and chdes them and CorreCtS their
faults and gives them good deal OF
good advice, and then he wonders all
the rest of the wear why his children do
not do better when they have such a won
derful advantage of that semi. annual
castlgation.
The family table. which ought to be
the place for pleasant discussion and
cheerlulness. often becomes the place of
perilous expedition. If there be any
blessing asked at all it is cut of at both
ends and with the hands on the carving
knife. He counts on his fingers. making
estimates in the interstices of the repaSt.
The work done, the hat goes on his
/ head and he starts down the street and
before the family have arisen from the
( table he has bound up another bundle of
! goods and says to the customer: ANY
/ thing more that | can do for you today,
I sirr' A man has more responsibility
/ than those which are discharged by put
! ting competent instructors over his chill
! dren and giving them a drawing master
! and music teacher. The physical
! culture of the child will not be attended
! to unless the father looks lit. He must
sometimes lose his dignity He must
| unlimber his Joints. He must some times
lead them out to their sports, and forget
the severe duties of life sometimes to fly
the kite, and to trundle the hoop, and
chase the ball, and jump the rope with
his children, ought never to have been
! tempted out of a crusty and unredeem-
able solitariness. If YOU want to keep
your children away from the places OF
sin. YOU can only do it by making your
home attractive. You may preach ser
mons to them and advocate reforms, and
denounce wckedneSs, and yet youl
children will be Captivated by the gilt
tering saloon of sin, unless YOU can make
your home a brighter place than any
other place on earth to them. Oh, gather
all charms into your house. II YOU car
afford it, bring pictures and books ane
cheerful entertainments 10 the HOUSEHOLD
But above all, teach those children, no
bv half an hour twice year on the Sab
bath day, but day after day, and ever,
day teach them that religion is a grea
gladness, that it throws chains OF golC
/ - in,
from the foot, no blitheness from tn
heart, no sparkle from the eye, no RIM
from the laughter, but that her way
are ways.of pleasantness, and all her path
: are peace"

May Fogle Assaulted.

May Fogle, of this city, aged about
IS years, was found in a semi-uncon-
scious condition in an alley way in the
rear of her home, last Monday morning,
May 10th, with cash on her right
shoulder and smaller cash under her
throat The girl was discovered by her
mother. She has ever since been in a
historical condition. The police officers
have made an investigation and are of
the opinion that the wounds were self
inflicted, although a careful investigation
has tailed to locate any knife or sharp
instrument with which the cutting could
have been done. The girl had gone
from her home into the alley way to
gather some flowers, and took with her a
fire shovel. This shovel was beside her
when she was found. The girl claimed
that she had been grabbed by negro
and slashed with knife.
