How about feeding whole corn to poultry: When corn only isfed to fowls it servos 1? fatten them, but dries up their egg product; as compared with wheat, barIcy, rice, ? ats, etc., it possesses very little of the requisite qualities that ^o to help the creating of egg substance ; therefore, for laying liens whole corn is avoided as a continuous food, but can be given in the proportion of one-fifth corn to other grains and feed allowed. Cooked meat once or twice a week is said to be good for laving hens. Can p> >< >r, stony pasture be renovated Plowing 1:11 the ground and enriching it while cultivating two or throe successive crops, and tlion seed it down thickly with grass seed, will greatly improve it. Or the laud can be top dressed with manure or guano ami tiieu seeded down. "Which corn brings the greatest price, white or yellow ? That depends upon circumstances, and varies in different seasons ; usually white <vrn commands the 1 ?est price, but at the present time in New York yellow corn sells soii;e five or six cents in advance of the white corn. How can you tell when alfalfa seed is ripe.' Alfalfa seed in proper condition presents a yellow, glossy appearance. "When not ripe the seeds are white. Which loses the most from shrinkage in drying, com or wheat It lias been contended that corn loses cue-fifth and wheat one-fourteenth by dryiug. How many pounds does a bushel of corn average ? In most States fifty-six pounds ; in New York fifty-eight pounds to the bushel. Story Night. " A Mother " sends the following ac count of the way in which the little ours of her own and si neighbor's family are amused and cultivated, which will be of interest to a Lirge number of our readers: It is quit" easy for grown people to amuse and entertain themselves smd each other during the long winter evenings, but a more difficult task for children. To be sure they have blind man's buff, msigic music, forfeits, parlor croquet, and similar games, but a friend and I have hit upon a plan which has proven verv felicitous in many ways, and ; which our children like very much in] deed. Every week we have one evening j that is called "Story Night." On this evening each person present tells a story, made up for the occasion, or gleaned from readings. The youngest member opens the entertainment, then ; the next older, and so on till J he fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, and visitors, if any are present, tell a story. Lately, since the children have been in school, flmr frnnnnnflv Crtlrtr?f fiv fluut* reading books and recite tlicin with appropriate emphasis and gesture, or write out a story and read it. Tlie evening spent in this way is quite the pleasantest one of the whole week, and looked forward to with antieipative preparation by every member of the two families, if any one chooses to sing a song, or play an instrumental piece on the piano or organ, that is gladly accepted in lieu of a story; but no one is exempt from contributing something to tiie common fund of entertainment. It is wonderful the improvement manifest in the ability of the younger ones, and the elder ones, too, in narrating events and handling character. We manage the affair in such a way that there is 110 feeling of embarrassment with even the youngest, and-as everybody must take a part, each is kindly and fox-bearing in criticism and ready to be amused and entertained by all the rest.?Tribe nr. Savins: Manure. Probably but few farmers exist who have not read articles in the papers advising them to keep their stable manure ^ under cover in a cellar under the stalls, or under a shed; but in both places dung is name to oeeome too <iry, ami tlie straw among it will not decompose as rapidly as it will when exposed to rains; or if it be all horse dung, it will "iirefaug," and will bo greatly injured. A cellar under the stable stalls, into which all the manure and urine of the stock is received, is a good thing, but it would be a great deal better if the manure could be thoroughly wet once a month from a pump adjoining or near the cellar. The same can be said of manure under a shed when pfied in deep; it must be kept moist or it had better be kept in the open barnyard. Indeed, we are ?f the opinion that when a barnyard is made concave, with no drain to it, manure can be kept in it from fall to spring without any loss. Some farmers think that much of the virtues ox manure in open yards pass down into the soil and are lost; but such is not the cose, as it will be found on removing it in the gpriug that the soil under it has become colored but two or three inches deep. Now we claim that if an abundance of litter be used upon the surface of the L - ? L * * " liMuur* i ) lviaiu moisture ami to prevent evaporation, s:li that a fiirmer makes can be as well preserved in his open barnyard as under cover; aiul we would prefer to have our manure spread over the yard occasionally, and covered with straw, than to have it thrown into heaps by the stable do >.? and through windows back of the stalls, and so remain ail winter, with much of its virtue washed away and lost. T?ie Centennial Hwijils. A bill in equity was tiled in the United States circuit court, at Philadelphia, by AY. H. Kmvle, in behalf of the (!: ntennial board of finance. The bill i ; directed to the interests of ell holders of Centennial block. It recites acts of Congress creatine: the board and deliuinj; its powers ; 6ct3 fort:i the amount of stock In:kl by Messrs. Patterson, Lewis Gill and the tl-.ifn XTt?4!,.T?nl liMlil- t\( f'um/lail (!./-> amount claimed to bo duo the United States by Assistant Trensiu-er Eyster, and specifies the conditions which :ire attached to tho government appropriation of $1,500,000. It further says that the total amount of subscriptions received by the board amounted to $2,100,000, and after the payment of debts, there remains for distribution about $2,000,030. There were no profits derived from the Exhibition, and the said balance is insufficient to pay the stockholders. The defendants claim* the balance should be distributed pro rata among the creditors of the board, and Assistant Treasurer Eyster claims for the government $1,500,000 out of the said balnnoe. The board say they have no interest in this balance, but, in order to be protected in the premises they pray the couit to order the claiming parties to interplead, ard to decide their rights by a decree as in chancery, t lie board offering to dispose of the fund in the meantime as the court may direct.

THE MISSOURI OUTLAWS. An Ineflvrttiiil Dnsli after the .Tauten Brothers? Systematic Operations. The ubiquitous James boys, whose exploits have given the Missouri border such an unenviable notoriety during the last two or three years, lmvc again turned up on their native heath in Clay county, Mo., and after a lively skirmish with the slier ill' and his posse have, as usual, disappeared. This was their first dress parade on their own stamping ground since the Northfield raid, which terminated so disastrously to the three desperadoes known as the Younger brothers, who were lately retired to the Minnesota penitentiary for life, and to two other robbers, Charley Pitts and Clel. Miller, who were picked off during the skirmish in front of the Northfield bank. The James and Yoftnger boys originated ami executed all the bold, open, daylight bank and day and night train robberies not only in Missouri, but in Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Iowa and Kansas. One of their former comrades paid the penalty of his crimes in Kentucky, being hunted down and shot as a fugitive after the bank raid in West Virginia; and another, who had been arrested and imprisoned at Lawrence, Kansas, for participation in the train robbery at Muusie, was also shot, after breaking from jail, while endeavoring to ll^e from the State. Now, add to this count Hobbs Kerry, who is still held a prisoner at Jefferson City, and we have the sum tota* of nine, who a year ago comprised the -.vincible banditti known as the James-Younger gang. Their exploits always partook of a semi-military character, were planned upon the same model, were all executed in the same way, and with a cool and desperate courage of which but few men are capable. They were no common robbers, but had an ambition to make themselves famous, and few such characters have appeared in modem history. Even John A. Murrell, celebrated as he was in his day, was no such character as 'these MissourLoutlaws. They had the genius to adapt themselves to the conditions of. their age. The money lor wineii tney ventured was not in the pockets of travelers, or t;< be made by capture and ransom of rich nobles, as in Italy, nor in the pockets of lords, squires and stage coach passengers, as in the days of Dick Turpin and Claude Duval. It was kept in the strong vaults of banks in populous towns, or earned in iron safes in railway trains, surrounded by scores of people. Banks were never molested at night? that was the business of burglars?but in broad day, during a panic induced by the sudden appearance of armed men among nn unarmed people, who were threatened with death if they crossed certain limits. And it was only when the country selcctcd for retreat made it necessary that railway trains were stopped at night. Then, again, they always had a .base (>f operations?in general, in Clay, Jackson, and St. Clair counties, Missouri?a refuge in the Indian Territory, and another in Texas. It has been ascertained that the latter was generally used after a robbery, the former before. That they had confederates in these places docs not admit 'of doubt. The booty resulting from their enterprises during the last two years is estimated at nearly $250,000, in some instances amounting to $-10,000 or $50,000 at a single robbery. A considerable portion of t hese ill-gotten gains is supposed to have been distributed among tlifir sympathizers and paid to friendly officials, who permitted them at intervals to roam through the country unmolested. It is true a price was placed upon their heads by various State officials, hut they eluded arrest and virtually delied the authorities in Missouri, thwarting every expedition sent against them by the most experienced detectives. J5ut with the capture of three of "the most noted members of tho gang, the killing of two, and the flight of the James brothers, it may be questioned whether such another gang of plunderers can ever again he organized or maintained in western Missouri. Tho mother of the James boys has sold her farm in Clay county and changed her abode for southern Texas. Ireland as a Nation. In the United States House of Representatives the Speaker said that he had information that there was a gentleman in Washington who was the bearer to the people of the United States of a communication from the Irish nation, congratulating the American people in this their centennial year. Mr. Holman (Dem.), of Indiana, thereupon rose and asked unanimous consent to offer a resolution, reciting that Mr. J. O'Connor Power, M. P., had been de puteil to present. to tne peopie 01 uie United States the congratulations of the Irish nation on the centenary of American independence, aud referring tlie subject of ] lis mission to the committee oil foreign all'airs, with instructions to report what action should bo taken in the premises. Mr. Town send (Rep.), of New York, suggested to Mr. Holman the use of the word " people " instead of " nation." Mr. Holman expressed his opinion that the term "nation "was not inappropriate, and lie hoped that the objection would not he pressed. Mr. Towusend?I do not object. I am in favor of the resolution, at any rate. Mr. Holman?There is a sense in which the tenn " nation " is properly applied to the Irish peopl Mr. Hoar (Hep.), of Massachusetts, ?What is the national authority of the Irish people ? Mr. Holman ? The communication comes from that part of the Irish people who now resiile wi tlgin tlie limits of Ireland. Their representative is deputed by them as a people to express their congratulations on the close of the first century of American independence. Mr. Hoar?In what mode is the deputation made or authenticated ? Mr. Holman?That is one of the subjects properly referred to the committees on foreign affairs. Mr. Hoar?The resolution makes the House allege as a fact that this gentleman who offers this resolution docs not, as I understand, know it. My question is : Who deputed this gentleman; what is the national authority ? Suppose the Irish nation should say next week : "We did not depute him," what evidence is there that they did ? Mr. Holman?The technical point is clear enough. Mr. H? iar?Say, said to be deputed. Mr. Hobnaii?But inasmuch as the term "nation " may be used synonymously with "people," I trust that the resolution will be adopted in its present form. The objection uot being pressed, the resolution was adopted. mmrta - What a War Would I5e. The Chicago Tribune discusses the unpleasant theme of a war for the settle inent of a Presidential election, and asks wlii'l sort ot war it woiuil no. mis is us answer to its own question: The people who engage in such n war must enroll themselves in two organizations of rifle clubs all over the country. Every ward in every city will have itsr opposing organizations. The men who, during the recent, campaign, carried banners antl torches, and hurrahed for Hayes and Tilden, would furnish the staple of these clubs. The farmers would enroll themselves in rival shotgun organizations, and these clubs, Indian fashion, would seek out each other, killing, burning, and plundering. It would of necessity be a war of massacre, extermination, rapine and conflagration. In the large cities these armed mobs would destroy property and lay them in ashes. Mills, granaries and warehouses, containing the very means of subsistence, would be burned. Railroads would be broken find telegraph linos severed. Banks would be robbed nnd private houses plundered. The government's funds would be stolen from revenue offices nnd custom houses. Police would be disbanded and criminals turned loose to prey upon society. All ever the United States one class of citizens would be arrayed against the other?fathers against sons, brothers against brothers, friends against friends, and members of church- ; es against cach other, as in the South j American republic. THE LAW OX THE PRESIDENCY. A Proposal to Submit Disputed Point* to the Supreme Court for" Advice?Favorable Iteeeptlon of the Proposition by Men of Hoth Parties. There is n growing opinion among men ' of both parties, says the "Washington 1 correspondent of the Tribune, that a way out of the difficult situation can still , be opened by a supreme court decision. The objectionable plan of having the court count the votes and investigate the legality of the returns lias been wholly abandoned, but it is believed that an opinion delivered by tho tribunal of last resort on the constitutional powers of the two houses of Congress over the electoral vote would be accepted as authoritative and final. Thus far the whole dispute can be narrowed down to the question of whether the House of Representatives lino tl>o vin-lif of its own motion, and without the concurrence of the Semite, to throw out the return of a State. This impurely a constitutional question, for if such a right exists'it is derived from the simple little phrase in the organic law which says " the- votes shall he counted," and like all questions arising out of different interpretations of that instrument, it ought to he referred to the supreme court. If the comir should hold that either house possesses the power of rejecting electoral votes for ; any cause, the whole controversy now distracting the country would be disposed of at once, and equally potent in effecting such a result would l>e an opinion that only the concurrent action of both houses can upset a return, or that no power resides in Congress except the ministerial one of making the count of the votes as certified to by State authority. Mr. Edmunds and , other eminent lawyers say that there is no way in which the matter could lie formally brought before the court, but it is answered by those who favor this mode of determining the vexed and i dangerous question, that ill a serious emergency, such as is likely to grow out of the prolongation of the existing dispute to a culmination, forms could be disregarded and the court could be requested by concurrent resolution to furnish Congress with its opinion on all the points involved. That the court would i comply with such a request, made under circumstances of such gravity, even although not obliged to do so by law, cannot be doubted. Many of the leading Republicans in both houses favor this plan, and belieVe it practicable and perfectly fair. No objection conl'd be urged against the i cmmimn /vilivfr fl? tllf> fivbitfir of tllf! dlS pute, bccausc one of its Bpocial provinces | is to interpret the Constitution. Nor could it be accused of being in any respect a political body, because the attitude of parties has changed materially since its junior member was appointed, and a majority of the judges came upon the bench when the issues of politics were far different from those which ; now agitate the public mind, i Democratic Congressmen, when asked what they think of this way "out of the woods," generally approve it, and j manifest a disposition to submit the claims of their party to any tribunal which shall not, from its constitution, have an evident leaning in favor of their opponents. It is evident that the occasion will not arise for bringing prominently forward tliis or any other socalled compromise measure until after the committees in the Southern States return. "When their reports are in, the Democrats will soon make up their ' miens whether the evidence collected produces any change in public opinion or in the position of Republicans in Congress. If it does not?if both parties maintain their present attitude? then the Democratic leaders will have to decide between three crises : to back ; down and abandon their intention of throwing out the votes of the disputed States; to accept some kiml of compro! mise, or to push forward to the end ! which some of them now threaten the country with?two Presidents. A Republican senator from New England said that the question could easily be brought before Ihe supreme court nftcr the fourth of March, and in a perfectly legal way. In ease Gov. Hayes should be inaugurated a writ of (/no warranto couhl be sued out against him on behalf of Mr. Tilden in the district court, and the case be carried at once to the supreme court for a final decision. This would ho like sending for a fire engine after the house is in flames. While the lawyers were preparing their briefs and delivering their arguments, the heated temper of the partisans of the rival Presidents would in all probability break out in hostile demonstrations which the dictum of the court would be powerless to stay. If any course of action can be agreed upon that will secure a harmonious count of the electoral vote and a general acquiescence in the result, whether arrived at by the acceptance or the rejection of the now disputed returns, sueh agreement should by all means be reached as soon as possible. A compromise after the sixteenth of February will be tenfold more difficult to bring about than one before that momentous day. Lost in (he Pineries. A Wisconsin paper gives us an account of two men being lost in the pineries of that State, and the experience of the men while lost. The two were Frenchmen, and started out to look up homesteads. They got lost in the dense forest and separated. When found they had been wanderincr for a full week. Ono of tlicm, Ducro by name, was sitting on a log. Ho had succeeded in taking off one of liis boots, and was trying to take off bis pants, as be said be couldn't walk fast enough with them on. They brought him out, and with the exception of his toes being slightly frozen, and the backs i of his hands, lie was to all appearances seemingly as well as ever physically, though sadly demoralized in his mind. Ducro had both feet badly frozen. He had on his calfskin boots, but no socks, and bis sufferings must have been terrible. They seem to believe they met lots of people, and saw lots of houses and camps, and that every one was mean to them, and would not let them come in anil warm. Butler said: "Why, I stayed all night at a camp, and there were forty-five men and fifteen women. The women all stood in the corners, and the men wouldn't let me sleep or warm myself, and in the morning I offered $1.50 for a piece of bread as large as my band, and they said they needed all their bread, and wouldn't give me any." Ducro imagined he was in a city, and could see the men (Milking and playing billiards, and one man was lying on a bod, and Dtiero 1 thought he tried to get in the bed, and every time ho did so the man kicked him out. ' The facts in the case are these: He wandered into a windfall, and the upturned roots he took for houses, and there are marks of his fists where he pounded upon their (as he supposed) doors. He walked back ami forth all night beside a large pine that had fallen and was upheld by its roots in such a way that it was about on a level with his head, and that was what he supposed was the bed and man in it, us there were, more than fifty prints of his hands in the snow on tup of the tree, made by him in endeavoring to get into bed (as he supposed). At I lie Polls. A correspondent of the London 7V>?r.-t, who was sufficiently interested in the details of the election to go to the polling . places in New York city and take notes during the day, recounts this incident: A voter insisted, in spite of all remonstrances, on challenging the other's vote, on the ground that lie had been betting about the result of the elections. lie had, however, a very easy remedy ; he had only lo perjure himsrtf, and swear on the Bible that he had not betted. All the same, he evidently did not like the process, and took the Bible with a some what anxious lace una unsteady nano, us if he were unpleasantly in the dark about its natural properties, and did not know whether it might not he so constructed as to explode when touched by his lying lips. The man was not only perjuring himself, but knew that everybody present knew he was perjuring himself. However, anything was better than losing his vote, and so lie took the oath in the prescribed form, and then, as he went, out, relieved his fedtongs by a volley of oaths of a less unfamiliar kind, mingled with threats of what he would do to his challenger if he ever caught him alone. THE ELECTORAL VOTE. T??c Text of Scnntor Wrlflrlit'a BUI in the United SiutoH (Senate. The bill introduced by Senator Wright, of Iowa, in the United States Senate, to establish a court for the trial of contested Presidentinl'elections, provides that the election of any one clected to the office of President or Vice-President of the ; United States may be contested by any ' eligible person who received votes for ! the office contested. Notice of intention j to contest must be filed with tho secrei tary of Shite at Washington within ten days after the declaration of the election, accompanied by a sworn statement of the causes of contest, whereupon the papers shall be delivered to the chief justice of the United States supreme court, whose duty it shall then be to appoint a day, not more than I ten days thereafter, for the person declared elected to appear and answer the claim of the contestant. The court for the trial of such coni tested elections shall consist of the said chief iustice and of six United States : circuit or district judges, to be selected i by him from the different political parties, and -who shall not be interI ested in the part icular contest, nor in any ! manner related to the persons involved. This court is to hold its meetings in Washington, a majority of its members ' constituting a quorum. If the office of i chief justice is vacant, or from any cause | lie is incapacitated to act, the senior i justice of the supreme court shall perI form the duties above specified. Before entering on the trial of the contest the 1 said chief justice and judges are to take a special oath that they will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties thus specially devolved upon them and that they will decide and determine any and all questions submitted to them according to law and the very right of the mat. ter and without regard to technical errors, defects, omissions or irregularities. The court is to have the same or like powers in the exercise of its jurisdiction end the enforcement of its orders and judgments as are now vested inthesu-j 1 preme court in regard to the latter's jur- 1 isdiction, etc. The bill provides that the proposed 1 , court in their adjudications and deter-! initiations Bliall at all times be governed : by the very right of the matter according | to the law and the testimony, and they ; I shall disregard all technical errors, omis- i sons or other matters on the part of | those engaged in certifying the elections 1 in the several States and of the electors, ! and in casting their votes, or in any man- ! ner connected with such elections, liav-! ing at all times, however, due regard to i the forms of law and the ascertainment. of the will and true vote of the people j at such elections. The person whom ! the majority of tho court shall thus find | to be President or Vice-President, as the case may be, shall be entitled to such office, and said court shall have full i power and authority to carry into effect' and enforce its judgment by any and all j needful process. In case it shall not appear that any person has been lawfully elected said court shall so declare and adjudge, and ! in all cases they shall certify the judg- , ment to the two houses of Congress. The bill next provides that any party to such contest feeling aggrieved by the J judgment may within six days after its | rendition appeal therefrom to the su- j preme court; but such appeal shall not, : however, operate to stay the execution of the judgment appealed from without special order therefor made by the court rendering such judgment. The record and case shall be immediately filed in the su-: preme court and take precedence of all other business. The supreme c?urt must then at once proceed to determine > the same upon the record and case so ; presented, and shall have full power to , carry its judgment into effect without a , remand. Hydrophobia's Horrors. Albert Ivlemp, of Jersey City, was bitten by a Spitz dog some days ago. Young ; Klemp frequently said that he was not tt-rtll Qniwloxr mnrniiirr . ?V11, ?.i.4 u,.v tj.u.uuj w..r enced a constantly increasing difficulty ! in breathing. When ho began to eat an<l drink lie swallowed laboredly. At midnight a spasm shook him violently. His month began to fill with saliva al- j most as white and thick as cotton. This he spat in every direction so strongly j that it reached the ceiling and the walls. In the endeavor to clear liis month of this choking saliva he uttered sounds that to his horror stricken relatives i seemed like the growl of a small dog, and then like the snap of a ferocious dog, and j jit four o'clock on Monday afternoon he died. "Young Klemp," said Dr. Gilmau, "died of hydrophobia. When I first saw him he breathed with great difficulty, cjected thick white saliva, resulting from the disturbing effect of the hydrophobic I poison upon the nervation of the mouth, called out, that the doors must be kept shut, and had spasms closely following , each other. Excepting when raked by a spasm, he was conscious. He had no fever. His pnbe was settled at 150, and lie perspired so as to moisten his cloth- j ing. As soon as we learned that he had . been bitten bv a dog, we decided to use woorara. We injected it beneath the j skin of the left arm. At once he said he felt better. We repeated the injection, ; and he said that he felt still more im- j proved. After the injection had been again repeated, the gathering of saliva in his mouth lessened, and the spasms ; were less strong and frequent. Had he been a lad of much vital force, and had | the woorara been injected in season, it is probable that he might have lived. But lie was of slight build?unusually slight for his age?and of little force. There- i fore the racking of the spasms soon exhausted what he had. Merchant's (Jargling Oil.

The Chicago Ledger is said to have spent $50,000 in advertising the past two years, ami, by the looks of the newspapers throughout the United States, we should say it would take as much to go round this year. And to cap the climax j the proprietors have announced their paper at $1.00 a year. How it is done is a mystery, unless they have more than "a barrel of money " to give. away. We believe, however, it is the theory of the publishers that all they ask of the reader is to pay for the white paper and postage; for their labor, when the paper reaches 100,000 or more circulation, their* advertising will pay the profit. While they are building up the paper they do not solicit advertising, and hence the readers get a great, paper for $1.00 that is worth $3.00. As the publishers have the money, no doubt they will succeed. Address The Lkpgek, Chicago, III., inclosing $1.00 for subscription and fifteen cents for postage.?Ch initio I'inu n.

Believing that war is but a natural outbreak of the pent-up forces of humanity, which must from time to time occur, lie proceeds to show that its horrors are in great measure due to the injuries inflicted on peaceful civilians by a wanton destruction of life and property. War, the writer maintains, if properly conducted, should in no way affect non-combatants, except in so far as they suffer by reason of bereavements ; and, moreover, much may be done to make it less disagreeable to actual combatants. With this view, he suggests that some neutral territory be set aside llV tlio "P.n rnr^ooii r\Au?orKi on/1 /I ovnfii/1 entirely to bloodshed. No fighting is, j under any pretense whatever, to take ! place out of this territory, which is to be j fitted up for war in the most elaborate j fashion. There is to be a training school | for nurses, a college for surgeons, and large hospitals. Prisoners of war will be confined in suitable buildings specially prepared for their accommodation. There are also to be vast cemeteries, and depots for artificial limbs, etc. These conv<m- i iences will be open to all nations wishing to fight at fixed and reasonable charges. Weapons of every description?and in fact all the appliances for war?may be bought or hired; but no crcdit is given, and the charges for battlefields are to be paid before the first gun is fired. All profits after payment of expenses will be devoted to the maintenance of the widows and orphans of tko fallen. Two thousand umbrellas and one thousand parasols were lost and found during tho Centennial Exposition. HONEY OF lOREHOMD AND TAB. FOR THE CURE OF Coughs, Golds, Influenza.
