THE H. L 0. DEPARTMENT.

The members of the Howard literary club are cordially invited to contribute their best efforts to make this department full and entertaining. There is no disposition on the part of The .Sk.ntixkl management to be anything but generous in the matter of space. This statement is made now, 8,4 we understand aeveral of the uiemlers have expressed themselves as feeling rather backward to contribute matter to the department because of lack of space. We hope that all will feel welcome to the department. A 1 moat any subject that may interest the members of the club can be made, if properly handled, interesting and probably valuable to the casual reader of a newspaper. A LETTER FKOM HOWARD. The Präsident ftend Message of Greet, log od Knconris;mnt. Pkar II. L. C. Frik.hpm It is with much pleasure that I thus airain greet you as a band of brothers and sisters who have so nobly tood unmoved by all adverse winds. I.ater On" has told you the truth in regard to the organization of the Enquirer club at Cincinnati. I was notilied by the Knrpi iff r company lefore I w ent to Cincinnati that the II. L. C. would be "ignored entirely." This, of course, presented any of ns, who itood firm for tho club, having any voire or right to participate in their business meeting. No claim rr pretensions whatever were made to a reorganization of the H. I C, and not a word of such a claim can be found in the Enquirer report of their meetings made from day to day in the daily and transferred to the next issue of the weekly. Neither does the historian's report show any such claim, but Mthe organization of the Enquirer household club." a new one entirely. Any and all such claims now being made to the reorganization of tho 11. 1 C. are without the sliirhest foundation in truth, made to blind and deceive those who were not present and do not know the facts in the case. In all these dark and trying hours my fidelity to the club and its principles has not for a moment wavered. Thus united, our band Etill lives a free and independent organization with her high and noble objects, and not an adjunct to a newspaper enterprise. We have no paid contributors, no "favored few." Our labor is a labor of lovo a charity offerins for the f ood of humanity. Indeed, the Howard iterary club has a noble mission ; its objects are hitrh, its principles grand, and the field for its labor wide. To cultivate sociability is a most, fruitful way to rearh the heart of our fellow-man for good, and adds much to our own enjoyment. There are many home in our land where young persons reside who are more or less isolated from both church and social privileges, and many others who have the best of opportunities surround ing them, and yet there is in these homes a feeling of loneliness and a desire, not so much to enjoy the personal presence of associates a- to have an opportunity to do good; to reach out to fellow-men and help tliem, and also advance themselves in literary attainments, for mind improvement. To such I would a)', join our club; by so doing you will have a wide range opened up for you. You do not know your capacity or capabilities in any direction until you practically test them. Many a grand and beautiful thought comes to you, which if expressed, would aid and sncourage others to success, and stimulate yourself to greater exertion. There is work for us all ; and to each memler of nur band I would sav, let us be up and doing with renewed hopes and energies for the good work before us. Let us hear from each one, on the pa;;e, on various topics of general interest. To the readers of Tnu Sentinel, before whom we come, who are strangers to the II. L. C. and its workings, I would say: V.'e have iu our organization many noble writers, men and women of high moral worth, worthy of your confidence and 6teern, and sve desire earli reader to consider the objects and work of the club, and if you fec i an interest in them, and that you would like to join in the good work, we invite vou to "come and go with us and we will do thee good." We welcome all good, honest, moral persons to our ranks. In unity there is strength. In your writings if you cannot point to some brilliant success you have attained, yon can possibly ebow wherein you have made a laudable effort, and in failure, bo able to show others the reefs upon which you stranded. We often gain as much beneficial information from failures as from eucccM. Our annual reunions are a sourco of much pleasure and social enjoyment, at which many a member meets in person, and cements in bonds of lasting friendship, the admiration they have formed fur the writers on the page. At our fourth annual reunion, recently held at Indiana-miix, it was the pleasure of the club to place upon me the honor of the presidency. This favor was not solicited or desired, and under more favorable conditions I nbouM have declined, but at this time of the club's existence I feel it is no time for the members to shrink from duty, or seek the shades of comfort and retirement while there is so much to do; honor, truth and justice to maintain, and deception and falsehood to expose if need be. let our motto be, "Honor, Love and Charity," so appropriate and so well suited to the initials of our club. In accepting the office, I pledge myself to do all within ruy ability for the best interests and advancement of the club, ami I assure you, my friends, my efforts .hall be entirely free from personal considerations. In this work I earnestly desire the co-operation of each member; let us work together in unity, and shun all harsh word and criticism, so far as possible, for they are unpleasant, and not to be indulged in on the page, only as it may Income necesary to vindicate truth and oppose error. I shall be glad to receive letters of in?uiry, of encouragement or of counsel rom II. L. C. members at any time, and if they contain stamp, will give them the earliest attention my limited time will permit. With high hopes for the club's prosperity, and best wishes for the welfare of each member, I arn faithfully your obedient servant, "IIowarh." Th IL Im C. a Lively Corpse. Dear II. I C. Fbiexds Prompted by the great interest I feel for your every effort on behalf of the Howard club, I hasten to send greeting, and, was going to Hay, offer encouragement, but the latter ia not necessary, as all seem sufficiently earnest and enthusiastic to need no urging. It is well known that great works are performed, not by strength alone, but by perseverance. And it is fully proven by their untiring efforts and sacrifice on behalf of the Ii. I C that some of our worthy membf rs are abundantly endowed with that important fa-tor. Iead! Who said the Howard club was 4ul2 Willi fuch nealsri ts our lx.telr

Hoist the banner high bearing that noble motto, "Honor, Love and Charity," and let it ever wave, casting abroad the influence of the good and grand principles of the II. I C, "shedding a luster all abroad, and pointing the path to blips and heaven." I must sav that I am highly plea-ed with tho new officers, ami can sc no reason why tho future of the Howard literary club will not by a bright and frosprrotis one. "Solid, unconquerable aith is tho bans of all growth," and there can bo no doubt that they have that. Health permitting, shall write again noon.

FARM TALKS FOR OCTOBER.

THE POULTRY YARD, BY P. H. JACOBS. A 1'raetlrft.l and Interesting- Taper on an Important Blatter to Farmers Home (iond Iterlpea nnd av ltulet of Timely Tartu Notes. The Skxtinti, management lias promised ita HiihrtcrihcrM a ncrics of able and practical articles upon matters connected with tho farm and ngriculturo generally by eminent gentlemen thoroughly well qualified to furnish it. Wo have already published a contribution from the pen of Mr. Y.W Meneh, and in this is.suo will bo found the second articlo of the aeries from Mr. P. II. Jacobs of llammontou, N. J., entitled "Tho Poultry Yard." Hammontox, N. J., Oct. 10. Copyrighted. The ue of ground meat, dried ground fab and ground bone as poultry foods has given excellent results to those who cannot obtain meat in more convenient form, but audi foods are notaubstituten for meat. Tho hard dry bone, that has had every particle of golatin ami meat extracted, nurves only na grit, ns but littlo of it is appropriated for purposes of animal economy, but tho fresh bones from tjio butcher are excellent. During tho procens of preparing meat and bones, before griuding.it is necessary, at times, to up superheated steam, which entails a lops of much of tho nitrogenous matter. When the commercial products are used it should bo done sparingly, as overfeeding of the dried substance causes bowel disease. Otherwise the dried foods will bo found beneficial when meat and fr'8h bonos are Hcaroe, but they answer tho purpose best when mixed with tho regular ration of grain. Tho dilliculty w ith those who use the ground foods is that thev do not feed it judiciously. A Furfeit is allowed at one time and the food may then be withheld foratime. There should be regularity, and the food given mostly to laying hens and growing chicks. Hones make the tet-t grinding material that ean be supplied to fowls, as they are sharp and hard. It is detrimental to feed sweet rbitoes to laying hen, as they are rich in carbonaceous elements and deficient in other respects. Consequently, if sweet potatoes are fed to bens tho liens become very fat, and ccaso to lay. For young chicks, or for stock intended to be sent to market, there is no food known that will fatten them 60 quickly. It is too expensivo to use sweet potatoes for oultr3, but tho very small ones, which are unsalable, may le cooked for market poultry with advantage. All hens that begin to moult now will be overtaken by winter. It requires about three months for a hen to renew her feathers, and from tl is period on the hens will have a hard time. The best mode of getting rid of moulting now is to sell every hen that begins to moult. It is impossible for hens to pay iu winter unless they have finished the moulting process in time to begin laying lefore cold weather, and it is useless waste, of time ami food to attempt to assist them to moult by giving ptHM-ial foods, as such hens can not endure the cold. When making a cross it is much better to uso breeds for the purpose that they bear resemblance to a certain extent to each other. A cross of a dingle comb breed with a rose comb breed does not result as favorably as the crossing of two breeds that have single combs or two with rose conil. It is well known that the single comb brown leghorn will, it mated with a Partridge cochin, produce better olfpring than if mated with the Urahma. The cochin has a single comb and the Drabma a pea comb. The plumage of tho brown leghorn ami Partridge cochin is also somewhat similar, and in all kinds of crosses tho rule that breeds should lo mated that are similar in many respects holds good as giving the best results. Now that tho winter w ill imon Ikj hero the prices of eggs may be high because a r-earcity will exist. It is not natural for birds to lav in winter, but our domeKticated fowls have been made, by judicious selection, and adaptation to condition and cireumstunres, to lay in winter, but domestication will not influence the fowls except only under certain conditions. The tirst essential in the winter season is warmth. Warm quarters which protect from wind, nnd nutritious food, will enable our domestic bens to lay in the winter, but any departure from these conditions will result in failure. One of the most popular of condition powders on the market contains but little of value to the hens except shells, but it hau reccivM encouragement, especially for winter use. Tho real value of the powder was that it served to supply sharp grindir.g material to the, hens, thereby assisting to prepare tho food for the gizrard, and, of eourse, promoting digestion. The proprietor of the condition powder was a benefactor to tho hens, as he did for them that which their owners did not consider necessary provido crit. Tho bens will always give better results when supplied with sharp, eritty material, anl it U economical to supply it, as there will be less waste of food and a greater proportion of gain from its use than it no prindinz. material is provided. Causes are overlooked that never make themselves known. In winter one of the frincipal causes of a failure of eggs to latch is the freezing of the combs of the males. This is equivalent to a hand or foot of a human being being frosted. Tho bird is in great pain, the comb slowly sloughs off, and until it is perfectly hesled the bird is inactive. Another cause oithe failure of eggs to hatch is the overfeeding of hens when in close conlinment, especially if tho food is composed mostly of grain. This can be remedied by keeping the hens in exerciso and deminish the amount of food. 15ut for its dark legs the Langshan would reach a leading position as a market bird. It is large in size, abounds ia breast meat, its flesh is juicy and tender, and the skin is thin, while tue bones aro fine, llut those who are not prejudiced against breeds possessing dark legs give the Langshans the preference, as they aro superior table fowls and excellent layers. It may be more troublesome to kill and dress the poultry, but it pays to do so. The dressed birds brina a higher price in market, can be shipped more conveniently and at less expense, and sell more readily on arrival in market. Live birds seldom reach their destination without loss. As there is often a difference of 5 cents a pound between live and dressed poultry the value of a carcass may be increased from 30 to 40 cents, while the feathers are also an item of profit. If you keep ducks cook turnips for them and give but little grain. The duck is to the poultry what tho hog is to animals. It will eat almost anything, and will grow rapidly on coarse, bulky food. It is injurious to feed ducks on grain exclusively, ami as turnips (and a little bran) will serve thera admirably, they can be kept at a small cost. IJroilers are not iu demand as early in the fccasva iu Boston as in Sew York. The

Chicago market is also later than the New York market, but chicks weighing onlv three-quarters of a pound will soil readily in Chicago in .Ma v. They are sold alive, by the dozen, nnd if searco, an much as ?!) per dozen may be obtained, but the usual price ia which declines as the month closes. White eggs are preferred in New York nnd dark eggs in Poston. . In the South sore hea ls on chicks is annoying, and causes loss. It seldom occurs in the North. Th disease is parasitic and may bo cured by tbe daily application of a mixture of one part cedar oil, one part spirits turpentine and four parts lard. As it is very laborious to apply tho remedy frequently, if large numbers of chicks are hatched, it may be used twice a week, but tho more frequently tho better. All breeds may be allowed together without danger of contamination or injury, provided they are separated two or three weeks previous to using the eggs for hatching purposes, but it is better to havo all the large breeds in one (lock and tho small breeds in another, as the latte r aro more active and require a greater spaco over w hich to forage. The Pun tarn Inys a larger eg?, in proportion to sic nnd cost of food, than any other fowl, and, although s nail, gives a large profit in proportion to room required and caro bestowed. More chicks aro lost when four or fivo weeks old, in winter, than when they aro younger, as they Imtoiho too largo for tho hen to hover them properly. A hen should not havo more than eight chicks in colli weather. The lice do not cease work in winter. A warm poultry house is as favorable to them as to joif.try. Hens may be kept in larger tlocksin the winter than in summer, as crowding on the roost is not so injurious. A cross mule should never be kept. He will sometimes kill the chicks that como up to feed with the laying hens, nnd will not permit the cockerels to eat at the troughs. Young pullets should bo laying. If they are not fully matured before winter they will not lay until spring. Never fatten a turkey in a coop. It is a bird that loses tlesh if confined too long. The hen that keeps herself busy scratching in the mature heap will always prove to be a good layer. Industry and egg production are inseparable with hens. P. II. Jacobs. Smite nod It et I j) es.

Hubbard squashes are the hest winter keepers, and should be stored away before frost. The squash can be bad all winter if carefully stored. Try the Bordeaux mixture oroond erapevines now as an experiment, as tho snores of the black-rot are on the ground, liake up all leaves and decayed fruit. Piles of brush or stubble afford harboring places for the insects, and they can be better destroyed by burning such material early than to delay it until tbe ground is frozen. A Holstein heifer was exhibited at the Bangor ( Me.) fair that yielded about fifteen quarts of milk daily. Considering that she was only two years old the yield was extraordinary. An excellent mode of keeping pumpkins is to take them to the barn und cover them well with hay. It will not injure a pumpkin if it freezes, provided it is used before it thaws. Pigging post-holes, repairs and hauling gravel should be done before the ground freezes. It entails twice the labor to defer such work until later. Now is the time to make all repairs. The Dorset sheep are very proline. They were shown at several fall fairs last year, the ewes having lambs at their feet, and nearly all had twins. They also produce lambs in the spring. Twenty pounds of hay and twelve quarts of oats given daily is the eutiniafed quantity of food for a horse, but this roust be regulated by the size of the animal, the labor performed and the season of the year. It is reported that the Swedes have invented a centrifugal machine that churns butter directly from milk instead of separating the cream. If true, the invention will be a very Important one, as it will entirely revolutionize dairy methods. Bran and skimmed milk will make more growth on pigs now than anything else. Corn is required only when the pig is to be made very fat. A ration in which coru Is a portion of the fond will give better results than to depend entirely on it for fattening. Fertilizing material is now procured from iron. In the manufacture of Ilessemer steel a light basic slag, known as Thomas slap, is the result, which is reduced to an impalpable pow der and sold to farmers, as it contains a Jaree proportion of phojphorio acid. Those who ore familiar with the merits of the lag estimate ihxt it co&taios 21 er cent, of vlaat food.

CHILDREN'S HOUND TABLE.

THE SUICIDE OF A SPIDER MONKEY. Fanntleroy ml Milk SlinUe Strategie Movements Queer Tooth Trouble Kor the .Minister .Joseph's Crary Coat Curious Knotty I'roblenis. Whether animals ever really kill themselves intentionally has often been questioned; but well-authenticated cases of logs and cats compassing their own death havo been known, and here is a strictly true story of a monkey who apparently did tho same: It was a spider monkey, a pet, who wns ill, ami plainly could not live. To savo her suflorin, her loving; mistress decided to have her ßhot, and she was;intrusted to a kind-hearted man, who agreed to put a merciful end to her troubles. He took her to Iiis place out of town, and whilo ho made his preparations left her alone in a large, unfinished room. The room had been used for some sort of entertainment, and had, hanging from a beam, a ropo with a noose at the end, used to bold a lantern. There wag no way of getting up to tho beam except by climbing the upright side beams, and the monkey was weak from her illness; yet, when the man came back in about a halfhour, he found her hanging. No one bad been in. She had climbed to the beam, drawn up the rope and put her head through tbe noose, or else climled down the rope for tho purpose. It seemed impossible that it could bo accident, for if she got to the rope to amuse herself, she certainly could not have fallen, as she was never known to fall in her life. There is scarcely a doubt that it was a deliberate suicide. Tho man who found her. r.nd who had had great experience with the spider monkey, declared that she understood her condition, and preferred to end her career. Something For tlie Minister.

The conversation dealt with the ministerial needs and with plans for meetine tho same. The conversation was not lost upon the child. If there was to le any assistance rendered ho was to be a contributor. The next Sunj day afternoou, afu-r the services, the child lingered mysteriously about the church, and when the clergyman, a portly and dignified gentleman, emerged through the door on his way home the little philanthropist inarched up tohim, and, with the confidence inspired by the good work he was about to perform, reached forward, caught the minister's hand in his own and closed the fingers of the former over a penny.

Tassemen teries uro shown in handsomer deeipng than ever before, ami metal trimmings promise to he especially popular. (iowns are more draped than they have been of late, but only in lonjr, clinging efiects, without a sujrzestion of bunchincsR. For house gowns no reeds are used, although in motst cases a thin pad is necessary, hut for the ßtreet a twelve-inch reed, m.1 as many inches below the belt, and a small pad, are indiepi enable to hold the skirt from the heela and give a correct appearance. There has been a rumor that trains are to he airain worn on the street, bnl modistes lo it said to their credit ara discouraging a return to such folly. A pretty gown sent out by a leading houe last week, and one that might easily have met the approbation of the wearer's greatgrandaiother a hundred years ao, is of light-weight lady's cloth in greenish gray shade.

Tho m cond cut is of a jaunty "beret, or student's cap, and illustrates the effective manner in which the lovely feather trim mings of all colors may be used. The ha$ is made in tin's instance of tan cloth to match a costume. The deep turban brim, by w hi h it is lilted to the hea l, is cov cred with a band of dark brown leather triunuiri'r.

An elegant reception toilet may be made with a short rounded bodice and demi-train of brocade, which has blnclc and white designs on a striped ground in jialo turquoi.1 blue mid white. The train is rounded and short, being onlv twelve inches longer than the skirt, and has slender fevers of dark blue velvet at tho sides. Similar re vein aro on the fror.ts of the bodice.
