There is now a large number of poul
try breeders, who are supported entirely
by the receipts and profit derived from
the culture of poultry, and the money
made at this business is not trifliDg by
any means. The fowls do not need a
very great amount of attention, and for
this reason they can be raised in connec
tion with some other business, and as
noarly every farmer throughout the
country raises more or less poultry, the
percentage of exclusive poultry raisers is
necessarily very small when compared to
the number engaged to a greater or less
extent in poultry culture.

“° - i i He could eat,” says a neighbor,
“a half bushel of food and still be hun¬

did but little work, putting in the time
sitting about the ranch and cooking for
himself. He became a by-word for miles
around, and many neighbors came i see
the living skeleton get outside of any¬
thing within reach that was edible. On
the day of his death he volunteered to
take out a small flock of sheep and herd
them until sundown. His brother agreed,
and in the morning Frederich left the
house with some 300 sheep in charge,
and swinging on his arm was a gallon tin
bucket filled with the ordinary Mexican
frijoles, or beans. His brother visited
him about noon and found him all right,
sitting in the shade watching the flock
graze. Late in the evening Jacob be
came uneasy at Fredericks absence and
began a search for hiro. He found the
sheep scattered by twos and threes, and
further on, lying directly in the path,
was Fredericks dead body. He had evi¬
dently been walking and fallen dead as
he stepped, for his feet rested in the
tracks they had made. His lean face
was in a mass of half-digested beans,
partially glued together and thoroughly
soaked in a torrent of blood which had
welled from his throat.

the subject of the Ir.sh land bill says,
that the first effect of the measure would
be to bankrupt and destroy a majority of
the landlords in Ireland, and the next
effect will be to destroy the government
which had purchased office with conces¬
sions destructive to the conservative par
ty. After a hitter struggle of six months,
he saiil, the ministry had adopted Mr.
Parneil’s bill, and it was the plan of the
campaign that had forced them to pur¬
sue thetr present course. A special issue
of the Dublin Gazette announces that
the following counties have been fully %
