If tho tailing much Iobs of butter fat. If tho system might nnswor very well, but tho supply being limited and such largo quantities needed, It will bo found cheaper and moro satisfactory to savo tho labor and expense of storing lco nnd provldo only Bufllclcnt to preservo tho cream and butter.

Ahcn that bloods under a hedgo, and roturns after 'm few weoks nbsenco from tho farm with a battalion of chicks following' her, will rear them stronger than such as nro batched In a coop. Tho perches ought to bo of n uniform height, eay 40 Inches; this will obvlnto fightings nt roosting hour for tho hlgh cr scats; will provent tho birds from hurting tholr breast bones In flying up nnd from injuring their foot whon dropping down. Tho floor of tho cot should bo covered with dried earth, or peat mould, or Band, renowed two or tltrco times a week. Tho scrapings kept In a sheltered spot, will form an Invaluable manure A straw floor Is objectionable; It provokes damn, of fenslvo odors, nnd docs not facilitate cleanliness. For hatching tho nest ought to roposo on humid earth, so as to insure uniformity of molsturo and coolness. In France, chickens aro not raised for tho market; eggs and young fatted fowls aro tho onds kopt In view. It Is best to havo a good native brocd, and maintain It puro by eschowlng crossings; Just as farmers celect roots and cereals to act as seed producers, chooso tho best looking cock and a mutton and wool, will como from thht fnr-oK land. Mr, Cobb states that up to ten years ago tho only means of getting rid of their Burplus slock was to boll tho carcasses down and ship tha tnllow. Tallow dropped In prlco until It did not pay to export it, and tho consequenco was that tho prlco ot sheep fell until they anticipated having to sell tho carcasses at from 12 to 18 cents each. About flvo years ago tho system of freezing the carcasses for ox port was introduced, and tho result has been a dccrcaBo of stock until now thoy recelvo from $2.50 to ?3 per head for tho carcassos. At tho nverago prlco they aro getting In London markets, thlB makes about 4 cents per pound not for tho mutton. Thoy get threo clips ot wool from a sheep boforo tho carcass Is shipped, although tho demand has Increased to such an extent that thoy aro now slaughtering yearlings' for shipment. COLONIAL HEROES.

Tho importation of a breed ing herd now may bo of conslderablo momont to the cattlo interests, ns they aro prized in their nativo land for their general purpose dairy and beef qual ities. They aro described as noted for their size, with rather coarse bone, long, deep body, broad hips, short legs and various shades of red and brown In color. Among French breeds they rank high, tho Norman farmers say tho first, as dairy animals.

One hundred and fifty years ago Gov. William Shirley, of Massa chusetts, was busily engaged In fitting out the famous expedition under Qen. William Peppcrrell which was destined to capture that stronghold "tho Gi braltar of America" Loulsburg, on tho east shore of Cape Breton. Thirty years later came the war of independence and the glories of Loulsburg were eclipsed and almost forgotton. By the treaty of atrecht In 1713 Cape Breton was ceded to France and Nova Scotia to Great Britain. France immediately began fortifying the cape in the most formid able manner. She built a walled town In the southeastern part, with gates and moat and drawbridge, as In feudal times. The ramparts were of massive stone, and from 30 to 36 feet high. At the entrance to the harbor was a little but that It must be taken by surprise. He called the general court, and as a preliminary required the astounded members to take an oath of secrecy be fore he would lay before them his Com munication. They yielded to the re quest, and then the Governor revealed to them his plan of taking Loulsburg. The secret was too great for one of the pious members to bear alone. In his family devotions he was heard to burst forth with a fervent prayer that the blessing of Heaven might attend the en terprise. Thus tho secret leaked out. The Legislature was at first stoutly op posed to the Governor's plan, but It was finally carried by a majority of one. Circulars were at once sent to the dif ferent colonies, and It was soon found that more volunteers would offer them selves than were needed. The chief difficulty was to find a man competent to command so large an army and con duct the Blege of so formidable a place as Loulsburg. The choice finally fell on Col. William Pepperrell, a wealthy mer chant, and withal very popular with all classes. Tho sarcastic Dr. Douglass, then living at Boston, said that "the ex pedition had a lawyer for a contriver, a merchant for a general, and farmers, fishermen and mechanics for BOldlers." When the expedition reached Capo Breton In April the ground was covered with Ice. Pepperrell disembarked his troops on tho evening of the 28th. Tho surprise of the French was unbounded. I took some time under the greatest difficulties to land the troops and the heavy guns. But Pepperrell was a man who never saw Impossibilities and did not understand the word discourage ment. Besides, he had under him men who had been accustomed to the sever est trials of frontier life until they had become men of sinews of iron. The siege lasted forty-seven days. On June 1 negotiations for peace were begun, sixteen days later Pepperrell entered Old Itcnd and Yotinc Hearts Voti Aometltnes sbc con'othed In elderly In dividual, but eldcm leliold nn old manor iromnii ns exempt from Inflrmillev -as In, youth.

Tn the precise meaning of the term, there Is no poultry farming In France. But there Is "poultry keeping." and very generally followed by peasants tind small farmers, says a writer In Colorndo Farmer. There are. how over, about half a dozen special breed ers and rearers ot domestic fowls es tablishments that might be described sb poultry studs. If poultry aro to bo kept on an extensive scale, three rules are to be observed: Scrupulous attention to cleanliness, feeding and ventilation. There Is nothing now In poultry breeding; tho Romans do voted special attention to the matter nnd the fowls of Gaul, tho duckB of Catharge. and tho geese ot Egypt were renowned. M. Lemolne. of Crosne, In the depart ment of tho Selno ot Olse, Is ono of the leading poultry breeders ot Franco. Ho has yards extending over 20 acres, de voted to tho breeding and 'rearing ot fowls of various races. Each "yard" is an orchard with wire fenced divis ions, provided with cots for roosting and egg-laying, with grass plots and woll-sanded walks. Tho dropplngB of tho birds form an excellent fertilizer for tho fruit trees. M. Leraolne's out put Is then poultry, eggs and fruit. Iinlf dozen hens with bright shining feathers nnd keep them apart for breeding. In ordinary clrcumBtnnces ono cock will suffice for 25 hens. It Is good to chnngo tho breeding cock every second year, as it is known that tho young from such birds possess pre cocity nnd facility of fattening. It is prudent not to havo too many chick ens together; overcrowding is Inimical for them ns for other animals. Fronch peasants give nothing to the chick pending tho 24 hours nfter they quit tho shell; this permits the yolk of tho egg In tho Intestinal cannl of tho chick to bo digested and cxpolled. Tho carllcBt food should bo a soft and lukewarm well-beaten pnsto of ogga and milk; but no over-feeding. Later add millet or canary seed and nllow tho hen to root about for her chicks through tho yards nnd pick up any green Btuff within their reach. As a rule, whether old or young birds, never allow them to be exposed to tho weather. Feed tho fowls regu larly with a pint of barley pr oats dal ly per dozen birds, plus tho refuso from kitchen and garden. In winter, be sides warm masked potatoes, add some tallow melters. greaves, or chopped liver. When near a knacker's yard, boiled horseflesh Is secured, but this Imparts a strong flavor to tho eggs. common, and tho butter mado com mands tho highest prlco In tho Paris market. As beef animals, thoy aro noted for early maturity nnd great weight, but havo moro bono and offal than tho English beef breeds. Tho chief claim mado for tho Normans is hardiness and freedom from tatnt of tho modern fad ot pampered cattle, tuberculosis.

In 1848 sho was em ployed by the Anti-Slavery society of Massachusetts to deliver lectures In various points of the eastern states and Canada. Sho was married to II. B.

FOR INVALID S JOHN CARLB & SONS, New York. BMn'sFGDsin Gum, Island scarcely a quarter of a mile across, on which the French erected a battery of thirty 28-pounders, which they called Island Battery. The light house stood In the northeast part and near It were the magazines. The town of Loulsburg was regularly laid out In squares, with broad streets. Around tho west entrance, where there was a drawbridge, the French erected a bat- Slieop in South Dakota. A writer at Plcrro gives rather a fa vorablo estimate ot tho sheep situation In South Dakota. Ho says that flvo years ago there wa3 a "sheep boom" that flooded that country and reduced tho price, and this "decline was moro marked when the free wool talk fright ened Bheep men." He says 50,000 is a modcrato cstlmato ot tho number ot sheep In that part of the statewm In crease of GO per cent In the last two years. Tho price fell from ?1 down to $1.50 two years ago, and is now about $2.50. The advance ia considered al most exclusively on mutton. Tho nv erago wool clip In that section Is about six pounds per fleece, and last year tho prlco was about 12 cents per pound. Sheep men generally estimate wool to pay tho expense ot keeping flocks and their profit on mutton and Increase of flock. Tho dry cllmato makes that 1 elate- especially .favorable to sheep. mL nlnwn t.ltAM itlltllrCf ll O f ll A 1UQ IICIIV liwwi lutuns wu. m n.v man of small meanB there Is no suror and safer investment than a flock of sheep in thnt part of tho northwest.

It has been claimed that tho hen lays tho largest number of eggs during her first year, and sho Is moro profitable then than at any other time. This view, according to tho Poultry Keeper, Is n mlstuken one. Tho first point to bo set tled is, which Is tho first year of u hen? It sho is hatched in the spring sho will not lay until fall and If Bho then lays a largo number of eggs by tho end of tho next year, sho has really been supported two years and laid dur ing one your only. In other words sho hns to bo raised from chlckenhood to maturity before Bho begins to lay at all. Her noxt or third year will be all the' moro profitable for the reason that the first cost of raising her will be propor tionately reduced each year. Ex. THE LOUISBURO MONUMENT, tery of thirteen 24-pounders, which com pletely protected the city gate. At the bottom ot the harbor stood the grand royal battery, frowning with Its twenty eight 42-poundeis and two 18-pounders. France had been twenty-five years at a cost of $G,000.000, In building this al most invulnerable position. It was still unfinished when war broke out in 1741 betweei France and England. Tho French at Loulsburg attacked Nova Scotia at once. Canso, wholly unpre nared for such a movement, surren dered at once without making any re sistance. Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts Immediately sent reinforcements to An napolis in time to save It from shar ing the same fate. Soon after the for mal declaration of war by England was received In the provinces nnd It pro duced the greatest excitement. The French on one hand and the Indians on the other caused a great deal of alarm, and called forth most vigorous efforts for self-protection. Loulspurg was so strongly fortified that Gov, Shirley, though his heart was set upon captur ing It. moved very cautiously, He de cided that no regular siege would avail, the town while the ships of his expedi tion sailed out of the harbor. "Never was a place more mauled with cannon and shells," wrote Pepperrell to Shir ley. "Neither have I read In history of any troops behaving with greater cour age. We gave them about 9,000 cannon balls and 600 bombs." When the news that Loulsburg was taken reached Boston at night an up roar of bells and cannon proclaimed it to the sleeping city. Before the sun rose the streets were lined with shout ing crowds. New York nnd Philadel phia hailed the news with Illumina tions, ringing of bells, and firing of cannon. When the Intelligence reached London the lords of regency ordered the guns In the tower to be fired. At night London and adjacent towns were ablaze with bonfires. Never did any great victory on the continent fill Eng land with more tumultuous Joy than this conquest of Loulsburg by the pro vincial troops. The monument unveiled Is a Tuscan column, about thirty feet high, sur mounted by a cannon ball and stand ing on a pedestal In the old King's bas tion, on which are Inscriptions which suitably commemorate an event so famous In colonial annals.
