ton port bill went into operatioi At
noon the harbor was closed against
nil vessels and business was so- pond
ed. In a 20 days’ notice the citizens
of Boston were deprived of their means
of gaining a living. Indignation ran
high throughout the colonies, contri
butions were raised In other cities for
their relief, and the people of Marble
head offered the Boston merchants Hit?
use of their wharves.

FARMER BADLY BEATEiN
BY HIS WIFE
On Friday last Paul Pound
sold to J. J. Rogers & Son s
bale of cctton that brough!
$13.00. When Mr. Pound lef 1
home that morning Mrs,
Pound asked him to briii£
along with him a little bunel1
of chickens—15 in number—
to sell for her. The chickens
| sold to J. H. McCarthy
brought $17-60 and that even
ing when Mr. Pound reached
home he had to fork over tc
his gocd wife—we hope he
did—four dollars more foi
the chickens he sold than the
amount he received for hi»
cotton.
Now, this little story brings
very forcibly before us the
value of the little things
which we are very much dis
posed to overlook and neglect.
For many years our people
looked with scorn on the
poultry business as too insig
nificant to receive any special
consideration as a part of the
farm’s revenue. Of late years
however, the industry has
grown to such proportions
that on many farms this reve-,
nue is the best part of the in-i
come ef the family. The
housewives devote special at
tention to poultry and the
home economic agents organ
ize egg circles and have
brought the farm wife in;
touch with the best markets
and enabled them to receive
top prices for their weekly
sales. The better breeds of
i chickens have been introduc
ed and the question of feed
ing for good results has been
studied and now the income
to the country from poultry
products is surprising. The
old hen has supplanted Jhe
mule as a source of revenue
in the great state of Missouri,
and if conditions in the cotton
markets continue she will
soon take the lead over “King
Cotton” all over the South.—

Very Old Cnrknote.
