To keep a hen in good condition for laying she should never have a full crop during the day. It is not wrong to give a light meal of mixed food warm in the morning in the trough, but such meal should only be one-fourth what the hens require. They should go away from the trough unsatisfied, and should then seek their food, deriving it grain by grain, engaging in healthy exercise in order to obtain it. In such circumstances the food will be passed into the gizzard and be better digested. Gradually the hen will accumulate sufficient food to provide for the night, going on the roost with a full crop, where she can leisurely for ward it from the crop to the gizzard. Feeding soft food leads to many errors on the part of the beginner, causing him to overfeed and pamper his hens. It is mnch better to feed hard grams only than to feed from a trough, unless the soft food is carefully measured. A quart of mixed ground grain moistened, and in a crumbly condition, should be sufficient for forty hens as a ••starter” for the morn ing; but two quarts of whole grain should then be scattered in litter for them to seek and secure for themselves.—Poultry Keeper. Where to Keep Comb Honey. Do not on any account store honey in a cellar. The dampness causes it to sweat, and then the cappings will break and you have a lot of ruined hpney. Our honey room is in the second story of our house, and will hold two tons. It is 6 by 10 feet, and 9 feet high, with two doors—one on each side—one opening from the hall, the other opening into a room over the porch. This room has one window. Here we put our honey first to let it harden, keeping this room light. After exposing it to the light for about two weeks we place it in the honey room. Never on any account place more than two boxes on top of one another, but place shelves above each other on the order of a library. If little red ants bother the honey, place the honey on a bench and put each leg or foot in a pan of water, and my word for it, if you keep water in the pans no ants will bother the honey. Our honey room is as dark as anything can be made to be, writes a beekeeper in an exchange. Preparing; Sheep Sklna. Make a paste with fresh lime in water, thicker than whitewash, and spread it over the flesh side of the skin, and then fold it together so as to leave the wool out In a day or two or more it will be ready to pull; try it by examining. Sometimes fresh wood ashes are added to the lime in making the paste, and some persons use wood ashes wholly. This is the old method. A Perfect Emulsion. The delicious flavor and creamy consistency of McBride’s Perfect Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda make it the most pleasant method for taking Cod Liver Oil, so well adapted for coughs and colds in both children and adults.

The Time to Sow Oats in the South—Seed and Fertiliser. Fall of the year is the time to sow oats, says Southern Cultivator. What if the crop be killed by severe freezing one year in three? A farmer can better afford to sow oats in September or Oc tober even if he does lose one crop in three by winter killing than to rely on January and February sowings, which are scarcely less liable to the same dis aster, and in addition are rained by drought at least two years in three. Even when spring oats ••hit” the yield is far inferior to a successful hit of fall oats on the same land. Moreover, if the fall sown crop be winter,killed it will often occur before the time for spring sowing has passed, or, at least, there will be ample time in which to plant the land in corn, cotton or other crop, while the drought blasted spring sown oat may not ••make an assignment” until it is too late for corn and cotton. Both experi ence and observation teach ns that the iright kind of oats, sown in the right way and in the early fall, yield far more in a term of years than spring sown. The very fact that the oat, under ordinary circumstances, is a perfectly hardy plant and yet an annual indicates the fall sea son as the proper seed time. Left to themselves they spring np naturally at the fall of the leaves. In oar impov erished soils it is a matter of consider able importance that any plant grown shall have a long season in which to forage the soil for its appropriate food. Oats sown in September or October en joy a period of from seven to eight months in which to extract from an un willing or impoveristarl soil the elements necessary to their d^ wopment and ma turity. Sown in February the foraging time is reduced to tlyee or four months. The authority quoted affirms that the right kind of seed means any one of the several subvarieties of the original Red Rust proof. For an anticipated yield of twenty-five to fifty bushels one and a half to two bushels per acre are sufficient, if the ground be properly prepared. Stable manure is good—nothing better; but the supply is generally too short. Oats require a large quantity of nitrogen. This can be most easily and economically supplied by cotton seed meal or crashed cotton seed. Phosphoric acid is generally required also and sometimes potash. If heavy manuring is intended then the fertilizer should be a complete one. If aiming for a yield of fifty to seventy-five bushels per acre (and we would not aim any lower) and the land is ordinary upland, we would suggest the following mixture for one acre: J Pounds. ▲old phosphate (14 per cento. 200 Cotton seed meal 800 Muriate of potash 100 Total 1400 be more convenient than be substituted for the 100 pounds of muriate. On lands in which the oats are liable to lodge, or fall down, the potash may be increased, the effect being to stiffen the straw. Baking Powder ABSOUJTELY PURE The Cotton Outlook. The Savannah correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says: All the Savannah warehouses are now fully stocked with cotton, and the amount on hand is steadily increas ing every day. Everybody here is hoping that there will be a falling off in receipts after the holidays. If so, it will be taken as an indication that the crop is what has been claimed — short of the phenomenal crop of last year. It will be remembered that the pro duction then reached the enormous 10181018,600,000 bales, or a million bales more than the preceding year. As a result of the crop being (so great ly in excess of the consumption, over five hundred thousand bales were car ried over to this season, and in con sidering the relat^ns of supply and demand, tnis muR^je added to the crop now being marketed. If the claims of the bulls that the crop this season is nearly one million bales be hind the last one proves to be any where near the truth, there must be a drop in the receipts soon. The spinners have refused to lay in heavy stocks, on the belief that the heavy receipts up to this time indi cate that the crop is fully as large as that of 1889-90, if not even larger. So far the drift of the evidence has been their way. It does not matter to them whether cotton is already selling be low the cost of .production or not. What they consider is the probability of its going still lower. They are sat isfied that it will, and so they hold oft a little longer. If January shows that the heavy receipts to date have been due to the fine weather the plan ters have had for picking, ginning and hauling to the markets, and that the crop is already largely marketed, the market will be invigorated at once, and prices will go up. If the reverse is true there will probably be at least a million bales carried over to add to the coming year’s supply. This makes the situa tion one of great seriousness. Wkh cotton, perhaps, selling at 6 or even 5 cents a pound this season, and a vast surplus on hand for the beginning of the next season, planters must be forced to curtail their production, if they are not sensible enough to do it of their own acco^. This is the fcel- j^gof faetqra swl throughout the country. It will be absolutely ruinous to make such crop as that of last year, or as that which it is feared this year’s may prove to be. There ;s hardly any question on the part of the factors as to the necessity of their taking some steps to protect both themselves and the planters. They will consequently refuse to advance as much money as in past yeara. If a man has been in the cus tom of raising 250 bales, for instance, and expresses his intention of raising as much again the coming season, it will be pointed out to him that it is to his personal business interest, as well as to the interest of his State, that he should raise less than that, or say about one hundred and seventy five bales, and the factor from whom he gets the money with which to carry on his operations will advance him enough to do that and no more. In this way, coupled with the financial lessons all have been taught this win ter, it is believed the crop can be kept down to proportions that will permit, even with a big stock on hand on next September 1st, of the renumera- tive prices. Popular intemperance up to the last decade of the last century was awful beyond anything we see in our own times, and even up to and be yond the literary prime of Walter Scott, the best and wisest element of English society looked at periodical intoxication as something of slight consequence, moie a subject for jest than tears or reproaches among friends. During the last fifty years there has been a great social reform on both sides of the water in this re spect, and the result is that while in temperance is still a very great evil it is a decreasing, not a growing nation al disease. The improvement in so cial manners and the elevation of the standard of private virtue shows its effect in the decrease of dissipation among intelligent men. Nlurder in Edgefield. On Christmas day Henry Scott shot and killed Malan Jones, about four miles from Batesburg. Malan Jones was a young man of about twenty-three years, and a work man on the place that Scott farms on. The cause of the affair was an old dis pute that had occurred bet ween Scott and Tom Jones, the brother of the man killed. On the day of the killing, and just about fifteen minutes before the act was committed, Scott was with a gentleman and was talking to him in regard to the trouble that existed be tween him and the Jones brothers. He (Scott) said that there had been some trouble between them that morning, and that now he had to go back home, and if they wanted to fight him he would have to protect himself. He then drove oft' in his cart, in company with Cole Maroaey, a young man who was with him. The rest of the affair in stated in different ways. It seems that the only eye-witnesses were the relations iiy . of Jones, who were in the house at the time of thf killing. They say that Scott came to the house and asked if Jones was in. They told him that he was not. Scott began to abuse the Jones boys to these women. Malan Jones who had not gone far from the house, fi^ariug the disturb ance, returned, and after a few words, Scott shot at him. The first shot not taking effect he shot again. This time the shot took eftect in the centra of the temple, and Jones fell to the ground. Scott then walked around to the feet of the fallen man, and shot him twice in the back. Scott aud Maroney jumped in the cant and made good their escape, anu up to the present writing they have not been captured by the large posse that is in pursuit. It was also stated by the friends of Jones that Maroney had interfered in behalf of Scott, and that he aided so * that Scott could shoot Jones; but this is emphatically denied by Maroney’s father, who says that the boy was only doing all that he could to pre vent the difficulty, and was acting as peacemaker. It is said that Scott was drinking that morning, and the gentleman that gave the information said MarahfoV ilrtai, fcaCfie wasut unk? ^ or much under the influence of whis key. When found by the first ones that arrived at the scene, Jones was lying in front of the house, and there were no weapons about him. The coroner’s jury rendered a ver dict in accordance with the above facts. Both parties have their friends, anda^., they are much exercised over the af- 4 . fair. A large posse is looking for ^ . . Scott. Both of the men had families. ► Every music teacher, student or music lover should have The Musi-,, cians’s Guide.

Sent by mail by addressing with stamp naming this paper, W. A. Noybs, 820 Powers’ Block, Rochester, N. Y, When the blood is impure, thick, and sluggish, or thin and impover ished, there can be no health. With these conditions, all the functions of the body are impaired, and the result is a variety of dangerous complica tions. The best remedy is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. A bald-headed woman is unusual before she is 40, hut gray hair is com mon with them earlier. Baldness and grayness may be prevented by using Hall’s Hair Renewer. Whooping cough, croup, sore throat, sudden coids, and the lung troubles peculiar to children, are easily con trolled by promptly administering Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. This remedy is safe to take, certain in Its action, and adapted to all constitutions. Cotton factors in Georgia and else where in the South have practically determined to reduce advances to planters in the coming spring, and in this way force down the production of cotton. They regard it as absolute ly ruiuous for the Souih to have an other such enormous crop as those of this and last year.
