Chicken Race War.

GA sectional issue has arisen in our
town." said the commuter. Before
it is settled am afraid the civil war
will be fought all over again. Any
how, our Southern friends are sure to
indulge in some fire-eating language.
"a resident of our village, who un-
dertook to raise chickens, received a
crate of fowls from South Carolina
farm. When the neighbors learned
where the chickens came from they
raised a row.
g If you must get chickens, they
said, get Northern chickens. They
don't crow nearly so much as Southern
chickens. There is something in the
climate down there that makes a
chicken crow four times as often as q
chicken brought up in any other part
of the country
tThat popularity of Southern chick
ems was news to the amateur poultry
man. He noticed, however, that his
chickens really did crow more persist
emily and more vigorously than any
other chickens he ever had known, and
when an experienced poulterer assured
him that they always would, because
Southern chickens always do, he sold
them and bought New Jersey chickens
instead. Now he is in hot water with
the Southern families in our town,

BILE will terminate. - New York

considered excellent for black or col.

Of water should make the required
strength, while sponge must be

changes of water will be necessary.
Not only silk but cotton can be treat.

Spirits of turpentine will remove
most spots from silk, although care
must be taken to see that the dye is

in the first instance on a spare piece
Of the fabric. Failing this, powdered
French chalk, mixed to mustard
consistency with lavender water
should be rubbed into the stain, left

fashioned remedy for stained silks.
