Kimble, the well-known proprietor of the old Kimble hostelry near tho Wayne county fair grounds established by his father, came to Honesdale on a business errand. He walked from Hotel Wayne, corner of Main and Park streets, to the National Bank, and returned to the Allen House about noon. Soon afterward, while seated in the hotel, he complained of pains in his chest, and called the at tention of those conversing with him to the fact that his head was in a state of profuse perspiration. Although no ap prehension of .any serious trouble was entertained at the time by his friends, he evidently took a more grave view of his condition, and later in the day, after taking a prescription of phenacetin and morphine, which he had put up at a near-by drug store, telephoned his son in-law, Elijah Bunnell, to drive down for him. Ho complained of feeling un usually tired on reaching home, but ap' parently soon recovered his general strength and spirits, and attended to his customary household duties until Tues day last. That morning he arose as usual and went out with his son-in-law to attend to the cattle, seemingly in the best of health, for one of his years, and in the best of spirits. After dinner he went to his room, and shortly afterward his granddaughter, a little girl, happen ing to pass the open door, discovered him lying on the carpet at the foot of the bed. Her mention of the fact that "grandpa had gone to sleep on the floor," startled tho family, and quickly brought the members of the household to his side. He was lifted to the bed, and a physician summoned, but all ef' forts to resuscitate him proved unswail ing, his death evidently having been the result of heart affection. Martin K. Kimble was the youngest son of the Wayne county pioneer, Asa Kimble, and his wife, Abigail (Pellett) Kimble, and was born st the farm where he died, May 24th, 1835. He was brought up as a lumberman and farmer, suc ceeding to the homestead, and marrying Miss Mary Robinson. One daughter, now Mrs. Elijah Bunnell, was the result of the union. She, with her mother, hus band, and a son and daughter, survives him ; also two brothers, Isaac R. and William Kimble. The late Sheriff Warren P. Kimble was a nephew. Owning the long established licensed hostelry immediately adjoining the fair grounds, and always giving his personal attention to his business, Mr. Kimble naturally had a very wide circle of ac quaintances and friends among the ex hibitors at and patrons of the county fairs. Everybody seemingly knew and respected "Mart," and few announce' ments of this'nature would bring a sense of personal bereavement to so many readers. The history of tho Kimblo family covers many pages of Wayne county's story of early development. It has been recount ed over and over again as the worthy pioneers and their descendants havo crossed tho divido, and needs not be re poatednow. Suffice it to Bay that of all tho long succession of our citizens who havo worthily borne tho name, not ono baa loft a cleaner or more spotless rocord than Martin K. Kimblo, Tho funeral will be held from the real dence at 2 o'clock this, Friday, afternoon. Interment In Glen Dyberry cemetery. Hens ani egos. Wliat,WNcn and How to Feed Practical Hints from an Experienc ed Poultry Raiser. What Is the Best Feed? Ltiiird ARTICLE Fowls liko parched corn occasionally : it is good for them, too. Begin early o'n rough evenings to heat your corn. Let it get well parched ; then set aside till cool enough to feed. The best way to feed wlieat is in the straw. They will go at it when nothing else will tempt them from their laziness. The same can be said of millet. Sec that you have a sheltered, sunny place for the hens to scratch, and keep the litter deep in it not less than seven or eight inches. The scratching shed is the hopper to the egg farmer's pocket book. Krep some roosters with your hens ; one for each twenty hens; no more un less you intend to hatch the eggs. It is not true that hens will lay as well with out any male birds as with them. That kind of life produces sexual starvation, which is death to egg production. I have tried it, and know what I am talking about. But beware of toomany roosters. A change of males will usually awaken the laying instinct. Ground charcoal mixed in the morn ing mash occasionally is a good tonic for the digestion. Burn a small pit of hard wood in the calm weather of sum mer, and thus havo plenty of charcoal for winter; it will keep for years. Keep grit beforeyour hens winter and summer, particularly in the winter. The reason hens lose their appetites and get sick in winter is a lack of grit. Hens cannot handle whole grain in winter unless they are constantly supplied with grit. Oyster shells are not grit, they are animal ma terial, and soon soften under the hen's powerful digestion. It is a good thing to feed them but do not use them as grit. They are valuable for the lime and animal matter they contain. Do not buy old ones if you can get them fresh. Old mortar is good for hens in winter. If you cannot get any old mortar or plaster make some in the summer of sharp sand. Get a load of road dust each summer and put it in a dry place and use it all the next winter. Make boxes for the hens to duct in. Put them in a sunny place and watch the hens make the dust fly and drive off the lice. Throw dust on the droppings, and thus keep your house sanitary. Besides, it renders the droppings more valuable for fertilizing purposes. Here is the record for thirty-five hens duringthe month of March : Total num ber of eggs laid, (iOO. Sold at 23 cents per dozen, 21 dozen ; .it 20 cents, 29 dozen total sales $10.60. Cost of feed, $3.33. Net gain $7.33. I am not charg ing anything for labor or waste of the table. I have seen larger records than this in a good many poultry papers, but I fail to get them. It may be of inter est for the reader to know something about the breeds. They are as follows : Ten thorough-bred White Plymouth Rocks : ten thorouch-bred Brown Lei?. horns ; fifteen first cross, White Ply mouth Rocks and White Leghorns- total 35. Five of. the White Rocks are now sitting. Joseph Stevens OBITUARY.

Many persons who admire the Japa nese fern balls which do so well for some home gardeners and fall utterly for others know little of the character of the plant, thousands of which are Imported each season. The scientific name Is Davallla bulla- ta, but it Is a species of tho harefoot fern that is a native to Japan. It has a creeping root which runs along the surface of the ground, and from it small, fibrous roots are thrown out as feeders. These creeping root stocks, or rhi zomes, are gathered by tho Japanesa and closely fastened over frames filled with sphagnum moss, which retains moisture in abundance when the plants are growing. The Japanese lovo to grow these ferns in nil sorts of odd shapes, such ns houses, animals, wreaths, pagodas, boats and figures, but few except the balls are imported. The chief reason for failure to have tho ferns , green is that they are not given enough moisture and are kept in too hot rooms. It is well to immerse the baskets occasionally in a tub of tepid water and never let them dry out.
