If lt ls wrong for a man to have a 'diseased cow In his bord, why should it not he considered just as much so to let a tree covered with insect posts, or affected with some had disease, stay In the orchard? Beware of Held mice and rabbits, ?especially if you have young trees. The best safeguard against damage from the sharp teeth of these pesto, is to wrap the tree trunks with strips .of wood veneer or with laths or building paper. Wood veneer may ( purchased of basket or package factories. Now that the leaves are off and we have time, we should not fuji to hunt out and destroy all Insect eggs and cocoons on bark or limbs. Also, all "mummied" fruits found on trees should be take?? off and burned they'll spread fungous troubles next .season If allowed to remain. Various paints and washes have been recommended to prevent attacks of mice and rabbits in orchards, says U recent government bulletin. The majority of these are without merit, and some of them aro liable to kill young trees. Some of the washes re quire renewal after every hard rain. In experiments with a wash of whale oil soap, crude carbolic acid and water, for apple trees, it was found that In about forty-eight hours the carbolic acid had so far evaporated that mice renewed their work upon The bark. (Hood and grease, said to give Immunity from rabbit attacks, would invite tho attacks of Held mice.

Richmond, Va., Jan. 23.-Proba bly the most unique and pitiful ease in the history of Virginia has devel oped in Carville, where Marius Lind say and his wife, both believing themselves to be negroes, have been sentenced to eight years each In the penitentiary, the court having ad judged the man to have enough white blood in his veins to be legally white. Marius Lindsay is the son of a white woman. He always accepted a story, however, that he had colored blood In his veins. Believing this he had associated with negroes from his infancy, lived with them and attend ed their churches and schools. Some few months aro Marius was married to Sophy Jones, a negress, and the widow of :i negro, and since lived with her. Indictments were brought against Lindsay on the ground that he ls a white man, who had married a ne gro woman, and against his wife, Sophy, for having married a white man, being herself a negress, the laws of Virginia prohibiting such In termarriage. The court, while dwell ing at length upon the tragedy that has made this man and woman crim inals, without any intention on their part of committing a criminal act, de clared the marriage null and void, an sentenced tho prisoners to the penitentiary for having contracted an lnter-raclal marriage. The court added, however, that while under the law he was forced to pronounce sentence, he would probably petition the Governor to pardon the prisoners without allow ing them to be taken to the peniten tiary, but upon condition that all marital relations between them should cease.

Corn should be fed at the evening feed as it ls very heating and slow tn digesting. Don't buy too large an incubator for the first attempt. One-hundred egg size ls large enough if the hatch happens to be a failure. Give the hens oats to help out the bill of fare. If the oats are in the sheaf, so much the better. Thrash ing out abundle of oats ls good ex ercise for the hens on a cold morn ing. Grit, must be hard and sharp to do the work of properly grinding up the food in the crop. Gravel, as a general thing, is not rough enough, and cracked oyster shell is too soft. The farm poultry Hock too often j is composed of chickens, ducks, geese ' and turkeys, all ll vin 0 together as one common family That ls a mis l'take. Fach kind diould have its own quarters. The best way to keep the premises clean of lice and mites ls to begin in January to wage war. Once a week pour kerosene over the roosts, Into the cracks of the nest boxes and along the dropping boards. Hy mak ing tills a weekly duty there will not be any trouble when hot weather ar rives. Nature has kindly provided such warm coats for ducks and turkeys that they can well stand the cold. A dry. open shed makes a very good roosting place for either; but the turkeys preter to roost on the limb of a tree, and the higher up the limb the better they are suited. Open up an account with the hens. Charge them with every item of ex pense, but do not fall to give them credit for every egg they lay and every carcass they give up for food. This naturally implies that you must keep an ogg record as well as a ledger account. You must know just what the hens are doing and what they cost you. An element that ls often lacking in poultry food ls protein, the most expensive part of the fe ' and the most needed. It make? blood, mus cle, hone, eggs and feathers, it may be supplied in feeding lean meat, green cut bone and scraps, wheat, oats, alfalfa and some clover. Dur ing summer, when fowls have their liberty, they are able to pick up a good deal of food containing this material, thereby balancing their own ration. AN OLD INDUSTRY REVIVED. Mrs. Vanderbilt Trialling People In Art of Hand Weaving. A dispatch from Asheville, N. C., says: Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt has revived the art of hand weaving In the mountains of North Carolina.and she and the owner of the princely H?tmore estate '?ear the homespun products of the cuutury-old looms, which they find fully equal In worth to Murray Bay cloth and Scotch and English Importations. Mrs. Vander* hilt has also Introduced the cloth to the notice of Washington and Now York fr?en?'- and under the foster ing care ol the "Wilmore Estate Industries," founded by her to train the children of estate tenants In woodworking, carving and textile manufacture, lt bids fair to he lu wide demand. Mrs. Vanderbilt employed no new fangled ways or teachers, and the whole thing consisted in starting some of the older women to doing that which they had been taught, and well taught, in their youth, and In bringing their wares before dis criminating people. Tho revival of an occupation which renders profita ble the labor of a class of otherwise non-producers, and at the same time gives the world something be .ter than it has bad, ls, of course, of great value to this section. The most seri ous problem is In teaching the younger women in the use of the loom:'. The looms are the same old ones, some a century old, used in the I early days, and the operatives almost j entirely the older women, who had spun and woven In their youth. The materials are native wool, cleaned, carded, spun and died by hand, and native dyestuffs, ol vegetable origin. Indigo being the only thing brought In from the outside. Not an lota of aniline or mineral is used, and the dye ls In the wool. The unaided In genuity of the operatives works out patterns and styles from domestic and foreign samples, which are copied and often excelled. The product con sists of a most pleasing variety of homespuns of blues, "rays, browns, blacks and mixtures, the equal of any homespun In the world, and though better than any factory goods the price ls much lower. Cheap cotton warp from the low country factories gave the ancient In dustry of hand weaving of wool In the mountains its setback, and would doubtless have caused lt to disappear totally had not Mrs. Vanderbilt tan ned lt to life. When Western Caro lina was a frontier country, a condi tion which persisted until recent, times, the clothing of the people was largely homespun, and the textiles made entirely of native wool bore the same stamp of worth that marked the goods made by the forbears of the pioneers In Scotland, Ireland and. England. Later the power spindles began to work in the Piedmont coun try and trading wagons brought the cheap cotton warp. Later came the railroads and store clothes, cotton jeans, etc., and hand weaving alt but perished, many of the old looms be ing sold to curio seekers. Now peo ple of Asheville are realizing, after Hoeing the samples shown at the In dustries show rooms, In Biltmore, that they have sought false gods. Woman loves a clear, rosy com plexion.

Norfolk, Va., Jan. 18.-Having ev idently carried out a prearranged plan to die together, Schuyler C. Carskadon and his wife were to-day found in their bedroom in South Nor folk. An examination showed that they had been dead for hours and that the deed was probably done some time during Sunday. Both Mr. and Mrs. Carskadon had been shot through the back of the head, the bullets crashing through their brains. A revolver was found on the floor at the side of the bed In which the couple lay. The theory of the police, and it is horne out by the physical facts, is that the couple ar reed to die together; that the hus band shot his wife by prearrange ment and then turned the pistol on himself. ? The man's head was hanging over the bed and the pistol used was on the lloor less than a foot away. Mr. Carskadon was foreman of the Wal wort h-N'e ville Manufacturing plant, and came here from South Bend, Ind., his former home. His wife is said to have come originally from New York City.

It ls stated that they were together only n few minutes when the shots were flied, and Mrs. McDonald, wife of tho dead man, rushing Into the study, found her husband dying. Immediately after the shooting young McDonald went to the jail and surrendered himself to the sheriff. Ho declines to make any statement, except that he killed his uncle, and that had ho not done so ho himself would have been killed. Few families are bettor known in this section than the McDonalds, and the tragedy has shocked the entire county. OASTOXIIA.

Garfield Presents Startling Informa' Hon-Si 10,(100,000 Worth Stolen. Washington, .lan. 18.-Informa tion of a startling character of al leged wi olesale and astounding frauds upon the public lands has come into the possession of Secretary of the Interior Garfield through spe cial agents in the field. The serions allegation ls made that approximate ly $110,000,000 worth of land in States principally west of the Missis, sippi has been fraudulently acquired within the past two years by corpo rations and individuals. With a view of recovering these lands. Secretary Garfield sent to-day j letters to Chairmen Hale and Taw ? ney of the Senate and House appro I prlations committees, respectively, asking for an additional appropria ! tlon of r>00,000, wheh, If granted, I with that already asked for, will give the department $1,000,000 for that purpose, lt ls stated that there ls reasonable prospect of recovering much of this alleged fraudulently ac quired land If the appropriation ls promptly made, lt also is pointed out that while $1,000,000 may seem large it ls not one-hundredth the value of the land. Mr. Garfield also enclosed a report ? of H. II. Schwart, chief of field ser vice, showing over 2,000 distinct cases of alleged frauds demanding further investigation. Among such cases awaiting investigation now pending are 1,060, divided among i Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. A Religious Author's Statement. For several ears I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddenly stricken with a se vere pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days unable to get up without assistance.
