Feeding Chickens.

| have been very successful in feeding
chicks this year, none of them being trou-
bled with Group or other diseases I am
satisfied that in feeding wheat screenings
as obtained from the mills, they should
always be soaked in water eight or ten
hours, or at least washed, before feeding,
to soften the white caps, swell the shrunk-
en- kernels and destroy the poisonous dust.
Corn meal should always be mixed with
boiling water for chickens. Onions, tops
as well rs bottoms, should be cut fine and
ted daily. They are very stimulating, and
superior to many medical preparations re-
commended for sick chickens. / believe a
daily feeding of onions tends greatly to
ward off disease.
The. truth is, too little attention is paid
to having dry and warm quarters for fowls
generally, though no animal pays better
tor good care than fowls. Without it,
even fair results cannot be expected

years ago he died from his neck down.

body, which it once governed, ceased to

died, and his mother soon married again
At tho age of three he was tossed several
times by an angry CIV. Shortly after

bow and retired. At five years old a
horse ran away with him, and made for q
stable, aci Oss the entrance of which was a
bar. The horse reached in under the bar,
and his mother seized him just in time to
save his lite. He grew up active and
strong, and was fond of sports. He be-

James, at the time of the accident that
left him with dead body and g living

He weighed two hundred pounds, and

broken; Inflammation set in, and all
thought his end was come. To the sur
prise ofall, in few days he began to
mend. He was shortly after removed to
his stepfather's house, where he still re-
sides.
Time hung heavily on his hands, and
he resolved to learn to write with his
mouth. He accomplished this, and, as he
says in a letter to Mr.. J. K. Nutting, he

shown him every kindness.
His worst enemies are the flies which
buzz about his face. He holds q leafy

Cutting vs.. Pasturing Glover.

In considering this question, the Mark
Lime Express takes the ground that land
from which second crop of clover has
been cut and carried away is in better
condition for the growth of wheat than
when the same clover is consumed upon
the same field on which it is grown. In
deed, we may go so far as to say that even
when such clover has been allowed to
stand for seed, it is not uncommon for
the same re.ult TO be Observable. Itthinks
that pasturing dwarfs the growth of the
clover plant, and it does not, therefore,
accumulate So much vegetable matter in
the roots, as when allowed to attain full
growth as before cutting. Besides, the
of the shade to the soil are lost
The manure left by stock in feeding off
the clover does not compensate for the
loss of these advantages. If this view is
correct, it follows that the best method of
using clover for enriching the soil would
be to let the entire growth remain on the
ground, neither pasturing nor moving it
