ly abandoned, and Mr. Lincoln was
brought forward in their stead. The
local pressure was so great that he
carried the nomination over Mr.. Sew
ard, and was elected president in No
vember, 1850.
The result Of the election was ire
mendous. Nearly all the southern
states seeded from the Union before
the new president was inaugurated
Then came the attack on Fort Sum-
ter and the terrible Civil war, which
for four long years devastated the
southern states of the Union. LincOln's
tact and service during these four
years are too well known to be re-
counted.
At the expiration of his term Of
office he was reelected to the presi-
denCy, and lived to see the ultimate
success Of the federal arms, and the
surrender Of Richmond and the army
of General Robert E. Lee. While on
visit to the Ford theater, Washing
ton, April Il, 1865, Abraham Lincoln
was shot through the head by an actor

REMODELING POULTRY HOUSE
Many stuffy, Old Structures Can Be
Rebuilt With Little Trouble
Cost Is Small.

Many farms have old style, closed
up poultry houses with poor light and
ventilation; also old sheds and other
buildings of little use for other pur-
poses that can be remodeled or built
over with little difficulty into salts
factory poultry houses, according to
the United States department Of ag-
riculture.
A building of that kind usually can
be made over for less than one-half
the cost of constructing new one,
and If the work is well done should
give just as good results. Further
more the work performed in remodel
ing the building serves as a good
poultry club demonstration in poultry
house construction.

Clean, dry litter, clean water pans
and mash hoppers are essential to the
health of good layers.
All air that is admitted for ventila-
ton should be so handled that it will
not blow on the fowls, especially when
they are on the roOst at night.
One of the best ways to furnish
green food is to hang a cabbage head
just high enough so that the fowls
will have to jump for it.
A warm, comfortable henhouse will
do much to secure good egg yield,
for fowls that are not comfortable
cannot lay well.
There is not much danger that
healthy, vigorous fowls will become

Lincoln Eccentric About Beard.

In the matter of boards, as in every
thing else, Abraham Lincoln retained
an open mind. He was not above
liking change for his own sake, monot-
ony wearying him.
In 1858 Lincoln wore a beard.
In 1857 and 1853 he was beardless.
During the debate with Douglas he
was growing a beard.
The day after his first nomination
the beard was gone.
Portraits of 1861, 1863, and 1864
show the full beard, but before 1864
was ended the Lincoln face was
smooth again. The last portrait,
made on April o, 1865, shows the fair
beginning of a beard.

Lincoln and Economy.

AS an advocate of thrift, Abraham
Lincoln was far less prolific than an
other great American, Benjamin
Franklin. Lincoln published no poor
Richards Almanac" If he had, doubt
less his injunctions to thrift would
have been fully as trenchant and point
ed as were those of Franklin. For
Lincoln was forced to thrift and con-
sequently realized the value Of 1t.
Summarized, his advice on this sub
ject was: Teach economy; that is
one of the first and highest virtues.
II begins with saving money"
