All the victims were furnished by the West and Southwest, not a casexif mob violence having occurred east of Ohio. The doubtful honors are shared alxjut equally between the "Boundless West" and the "Sunny South," twenty-eight coses of lynching being aredited to the former and twenty-niiae to tile latter section.

The peddling nuisance has beeoiae almost uniixearable. Half a dozen or rnwre times each day is the housewife called to the- door and importuned to- purchase silver-plating fluid, or fire-proof powder, or some cure- all for every disease, while the farmer at his work is. haunted by tile lightning rod fiend who> will put up a rod at half price for the good the farmer's name will do him as a purcliaser, or an equally smooth-talking felliow wants to make him agent for somo> very quick- selling farm implement oa which the commissions are very laaige, and if a bargain is. tfoticluded and! an order given, mayhap tbe- farmer soon finds a noto- in the baak over his signature, equal to* the amoimt of the or<&r. And tlies* parasites continue to harass the whoJ> year round un'il every ime who does n«4 want t«» l>e duped or s.*indled feels lj&e loading his gun. Th«* only safe way is to put your foot down solidly, pay no money for peddled nostrums, giv» no ordesn to any man you do not Jfenow will do as agree<l, jutid put off* your premises all the 1 iNivhes who go utvand offering something ft»r nothing. A firm in Pennsylvania offer farm­ ers and gardenew* "the vitatiw com- ponnd" or seed aiittl plant" nx-gorator," purely chemievC and ]iatente<l.

Epus must be observed as M read. Do HOT breed your foirls in-and-in till you spoil the stock. PROVIDE a few heads of cabbage for your fowls in winter. SEVEIHI. small detached W'ifw are preferable to one large one. Now is the time that breeders go about to "see what they can. find." ABOVE all, see that the hen-houses are clean and always well ventilated. PROVIDE dust baths in the sun, where they will be dry, made of road dust mixed with a little carbolic powder. THERE is no way of securing perfect cleanliness so effectually as by remov­ ing the poultry buildings to a fresh spot of ground. NONE of the As'atic fowls mature early. Brahmas, especially, do not ar­ rive at full size till a year old. They increase in weight fcjy the acumulation of internal fat for several years after that. PERMIT US again to urge all breeders of poultry, who wish healthy fowls, to be liberal in supplying their fowls with charcoal. It is one of the best pre­ ventives of disease among fowls that can be named. To THROW meal dough, mashed pota­ toes or any moist feed upon the ground, or upon a board, where the feet of the fowls can trample it, is not economical. Enough is saved by the use of a feed trough to pay for it in a little while. THERE is no live stock on the farm that needs warmer quarters than hens. Have the hen-house so arranged that the hens may have a well-lighted room for protection during the very cold and stormy days. Keep the floor covered with fresh dirt. IN whitewashing the interior of a poultry-house do not leave a spot even as large as the head of a pin untouched anywhere. Splash the whitewash lib­ erally into every nook and corner, crack and crevice. If the hennery has a floor of cementr stone, brick or boards,, whitewash that also. FARMERS atud poulterers at the pres­ ent day have none of the old-time diffi­ culties to contend with that in former years were cur-rent in forwarding their surplus stock to a good market. Such are the railroad and express facilities nowadays that but little time is lost in transit even- to- a distant market, and the cost for transportation (in bulk) is but trifling on freight trains, in almost any direotion.. SEE that your poultry-houses have perfect ventilation, as it will soon be time to confine- your fowls from the frigidity of winter. No matter how» limited may be- the number of birds thus cOnfinedj. a poisonous gas will quickly form< andl if there be no chance for it to> escape freely, sickness or death soon ensures to the inmates that are compelled! ta> breathe the foul air. In cold weather, during the mid­ dle of each day, ,th» fowl-house should be thoroughly ventilated. THERE is on many farms a quantity of milk which, aftec i& is skimmed, is of no further use, and is often thrown away. Attempts are sometimes made to utilize it by feeding it to the cow; but the propriety of smch a course is questionable, even if "Mooly" can 4>e persuaded to "repeat herself" in that way. Sometimes* a> pig is bought te flio or»yr*lu« Iftgtjaal flvU(J ! hut the care of the shoat involves a good deal of unpleasant labor, and additional food must be provided! to keep him in growing condition; Meanwhile, ^the hens are sufferings for a taste of mat milk as drink or food;, when curded. FOWLS are as profitable as any other s tock the farmerr-oani keep, and more so, provided he pays to> them the same attention, and is as- mtach interested in them, as in his other stock. In a ma­ jority of cases fowls are merely kept on the farm because they cannot well be dispensed with*, andi not because the farmer wishea-to reap any profit there­ from. As a general thing you will find that poultry on fumua belong to no special breed.but that they are a mixed- up mess. Unless the farmer keeps birds that come of a good stock, and feeds them regularly, he cannot expect any profits.. Can Sleep Release tfie- Soul Lfte Death!'

Wttllam Penn** Father# A<Sniral Sir William Penn was,$n ti« later days of the Commonwealth, an able and gallant naval commander. When that government was transformed into a monarchy, he, along with others who had rendered equally honorable service under Parliament, thought that he could now best serve his country by serving his King. From all the records we have of him he seems to have been a frank, rugged man, little accustomed to the finer shades of life. He was no carpet-knight, such as were too common at Whitehall and St. James, but a brave and gallant sailor, whose very honesty and high merit won him a way into royal and ducal favor, wheu honesty and merit, as a rule, did not count for very much. With the Duke, of York, who commanded the navies of England as Lord High Admiral, he became an especial favorite, for the marine war at that time raging between England and the Dutch gave an ample opportunity for courageous and able captains, suen a® Sir William, to win their way into hi£h favor by valuable service. Nor dit? he neglect such opportunity, for so well did he perform tlur ifatiea imposed T*pon him that at last hm reached m posi­ tion only second in cotaflsand to th^ Duke himself. The culminating point of his service was in the1 gnat naval battle of June, 1665, iir whieh the En­ glish, after a long period of humiliation and defeat, won a decisive victory over their enemies--a victory largely due to Admiral Penn's ability. In the de­ lightfully humdrum pages of Mr. Sa mue Pepysr Diary we catch a glimpse oi the jubilation of the Penn household! ©o the occasion. "Then to my Lady Pen's*" he says, "where they are all jpyed̂ and not a little puffed up, at the good- sac- cesses of their father; and good! servie# indeed is said to have been done by him. Had a great bonfire at the gate: and I,, with my Lady Pen's people an«L others,, to Mrs. Turner's great roamianA then down into the street; I didigiin* the boys 4s. among them* andl mighty meiu-y 'r so home to bed, with my heart full of great rest and quiet, saying-that the considerations of the vietory is tde> great fbr me presently to oomprehehdi"' Loud! and long were the rejoicings in- England, and great the honors bestowed! upon the man to whom the glory was so> largely due. Thus we find'him at-the pinnacle- of his oareer, Vice-Admiral at England^ the favorite of a King and; a King's brother, the lauded of a nation.. But an end came to his glory, as it* comes- te the glory of all.. A terrible- enemy>.tfte gout, seized upon him, and held him for a year or two of lingering- Buffering1; until, as the inscription on his monument hath it, "with a gentle and., even .gaU», he arrived and anchored iint his best "port at Wamsted, ia ihe county pf Essecc;" and William, his-eldest son, fell heiir to his estates. William had! never: been a favorite with his father. From the time that, as a young mart^ he had been sent to Oxford, he was a thorn in the- ASdmiral's side. Sir William re­ garded tihe Quaker principles of his son with ail the detestation that a man of the w/wU feels for anv peculiarity OJT eccentricity, whether mundAne or other* wise. There was a constant aUQCflflMflU-. of disagreements between themy oedr minating at last when William, in spite- of the-earnest request of his father; re­ fused) to remove his hat* even in the ?reseoee of the King and the Duke of ; ork*. This refusal was too much;: tho- Admiral lost all control of. himself, and> in a sage ordered his son to quit the* house^- and never show Ms face beneath, the pavental roof again. Then a familyv "scenew'* My Lady Penn s and Mistress Peggy wept; and William, feeling alii the cfijgnity of a martyr upon. him*, marched out with the inevitable hati firmllf fixed upon his head. Towardi the olisee of the Admiral'sslife, howtwerj. when, the disease held him an its fiercest, grip;, he and his son were reconciled!. Both: had grown some years older, audi were; inclined to bear and forbean to*- wort! one anotlier. So it* was that alt lliis ,father's death William fell heir his states in spite of his Quaker-pro*- ciivsiiea.
