Ten Hen and Chicken Rules.

THE following ten rules, applicable to
setting hens and young chickens, are con-
tributed to the Cincinnati Times, by a
lady:
l. Never set a hen i'll close box; give
her plenty of room to turn about: she
will not do well if crampcd or crowded
2. Always set her on the ground, if pos
sible, The eggs will hatch best with the
nest directly on the ground
). Don't give a hen more than thirteen
eggs for setting. | know fifteen is the
rule, but experience has taught me to con
slider fifteen Just two too MANY
4. Be careful to mark the eggs, for other
hens are apt to lay in the nest with your
setter, and unless the eggs are properly
marked you might not be able to identify
the Re1c eggs. You understand that eggs
laid to a setting hen must be promptly re-
moved.
5. Make a record of the time when you
set your hen, in order that YOU may BE-
looking out for the Matching.
6. Some eggs will invariably hatch a
little sooner than others Remove the
young chicks at once, and keep them from
the hen until all are Matched. If you do
not, the hen will be likely to quit the nest
with the first corners, leaving the I'M
Matched chicks to chill and die
!. Don't pick at the bills of the little
chicks in an effort to remove what some
people call the pip" 1t is all right, and
will disappear as soon as naturc requires.
s. Never undertake to feed your setting
hens on the nest; it is poor way Let
them come off for their food. They will
not stay off too long. Nature knows
what she is about The eggs require about
the amount of airing they receive while
the hen is off for food.
9. See that the hens do not run about
too much while the chicks are vet Young
1t will cause them to droop, and will
sometimes give them disease called the
"spraddles'
10. Feed your young chicks on corn
meal mixed with pure water, and don't
mix it too wet. You want it so that it
will crumble

Interfering Horses.

A CORRESPONDENT of the american Agrj-
cultotrlst writing upon the subject of inter
fering horses, or the cutting of the tet-
lock and leg by the shoe of the other foot
says:
/ have seen but few out of several hun
dred interfering horses that struck the
opposite ankle with either the crust or
hoof. the shoe, or the heel-cork, and those
were all cured by rest, good keeping, and
handwriting of the legs, thus showing
that weakness and loose, stumbling gait
were the cause. When the crust OF the
hoof turns under on the inside and grows
out on the outside, the horse will inter
tere, When such shaped foot is seen
some chalk should be rubbed on the
hoof, and when the horse strikes and the
foot is examined it will be found that the
chalk has been rubbed off near the toe,
and if the clinches of the nails are loose
they will be found to have torn the skin
of the opposite ankle. In such case the
hoof should be pared away on the outside
as much as is safe, and the shoe set out on
the inside so that the bearing of the foot
will be equal on each side from the cen
ter as it rests upon the ground. The

THESE men are mostly Shy with their
letters and their tales of love. That was
a sacred ground, upon which no strange,
tude feet could pass. No gold-hunter
here, perhaps, but had his love-his one,
only love, without change or possibility
for changing the object OF his devotion
even if he had desired it. Men must love
as well as women. 1t is the most natural
and, consequently, the most proper thing
on earth. Imagine how intensified and
how tender a mans devotion would be
come under circumstances like these. Tie
one image in his heart, the one hope
her. So much time to think bending to
the work in the running waters under the
trees, on the narrow trail beneath the
shadows of the forest, by the camp and
cabin-tire, her face and hers only, with no
new face rising up, crossing her path
confronting him FOR days, for months, for
years-see how holy thing his love
would grow to be- This, you observe, is
new man, a new manner of lover. Love,
say, is as a requirement, a necessity. 1t
is as necessary for a complete man to love
as 1t is for him to breathe pure air. And
it is as natural.
These men, being so far removed from
any personal contact with the objects of
their affections, and only now and then at
long intervals receiving letters, all marked
and remarked across the backs from the
remalllngs from camp to camp, Of course,
knew no Interruptions in the current of
their devotion, and loved in singularly
earnest and sincere way. I doubt if there
be anything like it in history
When men 90 to war they have the
glory and excitement of battle to allure
them, then the eyes of many women are
upon them; they are not locked up like
these men of the sierras, with only their
work and the one thing to think of When
!hey go to sea, the sailors find new faces
10 every port; but these men, from the
tfme they crossed the Missouri or left the
Atlantic coast, have known no strange gods,
hardly heard a woman'S voice till they re-
turned
was in the confidence of one Young
fellow here, very young and very verdant
not of the grand type at all in fact, he
was OF Pacific growth as far as he had vet
developed, and not a representative man
al all. But he is the only one who took
me wholly into his confidence, and of
whom can truthfully speak by the card
as they say. He had three letters, stained.
and worn,. and torn. They looked as old
>as some the sacred relics you see under
1he glass cases in the British museum.
lhese letters were his treasures True, he
had bag or two of gold, a bowie knife,
pistol par OF blankets, and, what was
really marvel and a mark of eXtrava
gance, an extra red flannel shirt; but these
were trliles. These three letters were the
BOY s chlef pride. Every Sunday, up on
the hillside, where little sun broke
through the cedar tops and split itself in
shifting pools and pillows along the leaves,
we two would sit and read and re-read
these letters, and talk, and think, and plan,

The Habit of Reading.

81 HAyEno time to read" is the common
complaint, and especially of women, whose
occupations are such as to prevent con-
tinuous book perusal. They seem to think,
because they cannot devote as much at
tention to books as they are compelled to
devote to their avocations, that they can
not read anything But this is great
mistake 1t isn't the books we finish at a
sitting which always do us the most good
Those we devour in the odd moments,
half dozen pages at time, often give us
more satisfaction, and are more thorough
ly digested than those we make particu-
lar effort to read. The men who have
made their mark in the world have gene
rally been the men who have in boyhood
formed the habit of reading at every
available moment, whether for five min
utes or five hours.
1t is the habit of reading rather than
the time at our command that helps US on
the road to learning. Many of the most
cultivated persons, whose names have
been famous as students, have given only
two or three hours a day to their books.
If we make use OF spare minutes in the
midst Of our work, and read little, if but
a page or a paragraph, we shall find our
brains quickened and our toll lightened
by just SO much increased satisfaction as
the book gives US. Nothing helps along
the monotonous daily round so much as
fresh and striking thoughts, to be consid-
cred while our hands are busy. A new
idea from new volume is like oil which
reduces the friction of the machinery OF
life. What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as a
StimuluS to action and becomes one of
the most precious deposits in the treasury
of our recollection. All knowledge is
made up Of small parts, which would
seem insignificant in themselves, but
which, taken together, are valuable wea-
pons for the mind and substantial armor
for the soul. I" Read anything continu
ously," says DR.. Johnson, " and you will
be learned" The odd minutes which we
are inclined to waste, if carefully availed of
for instruction, will, in the long run, make
golden hours and golden days that We
shall ever be thankful for" Home and
Society,"" IN Scribner's for august

How the Persians Collect Debts.

THE Persian creditor having once de
termined to get his money calls for it
early in the morning and cannot be per
suaded to go away until he is paid. He
brings his carpet with him and sits down
in his debtors bedroom, eating, drinking,
sleeping, and smoking there till he is
bought off. Some years ago, not many,
Persian had or fancied that he had, a
claim on the English Foreign Office
So one day he travelled away from Te-
heran, and, after many strange adventures
arrived in London, taking his carpet with
him, and fully prepared to sit upon the
Foreign Office, which he supposed to be a
person, till he was satisfied Lord Pal
merston was Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs at the time, and took the thing
good-humoredly; but Mr.. Hammond, the
Under Secretary of State, who is a sharp
tempered gentleman, and was already hi oh
up III the office, was for calling police
man.
The practice Of sitting upon a man.
as 1t IS called, universally prevails in Per
STA, and 1t Is not easy to deal with it,
Still it may be dealt with, and Sir John
Mcneil, a shrewd old Scotch diDl0ma-
fist, who was once accredited to the Per
sian court, contrived to get rid Of a Per
sian who had tried to sit upon him bv a
rather clever device
At the New Year, which is kept as a
great festival in Persia, religious mendi
cants go about, not SO much asking for
aims as insisting upon fixed sum They
generally tax foreign ambassador rather
highly, and one Of them dervis, de
manded an eXtravagant sum from Sir
John Mcneil. The Scotch diplomatist
offered to compromise with him for any
reasonable amount, but his offer was re
fused, and as he would not give more the
dervis proceeded to sit upon him. He
established himself in Sir Johns garden,
just before his study windows, and every
now and then during the day, and when.
ever he woke up at night this dervis set
up a horrible hullabaloo and blew a
cracked trumpet as the judgment day had
come. Sir John, who did not like to have
his rest disturbed in this way, determined
| to put stop to the dervis' tricks, and
| eject him by force; but he was solemnly
warned by the Persian authorities that il
would be dangerous to lay hands upon
| the dervis. Get rid Of him if YOU can, .
| said they, laughing, as they are wont to do
| at a minister's perpleXity, "but do not
| touch him"
Very WE'LL" said Sir John, dryly; and
| he sent for bricklayer.
Build me a wall round that bowling
beggar in my garden said Sir John to
the bricklayer, land then roof it in ~
The dervis looked on composedIy while the
wall rose slowly round him, and made
more noise than ever: but when he per
ceived they really meant to shut him in a
tomb, alive, he jumped over the lowest
part Of the wall and rushed away like a
maniac. Sir John was probably the only
European that ever.got the better of a
dervis.-C0r. Neao York Herald.

Protecting Fruits, ETC., Against Birds.

A CORRESPONDENT of the London Field
gives method of protecting fruit trees
and seed plants against the depredations
of birds, which differs from the plan usu-
ally adopted in this country of using col
Ored Irvine, or thread so large as to be
readily seen:
And what, you will ask, is my talisman?
Simply ball Of gray or Witty brown
linen thread. take ball of this in my
hand, fasten the end of it to one of the
twigs of the gooseberry or currant bush,
and then cross the thread backwards from
twig to twig in perhaps dozen different
directions, fasten off, and the thing is
done; and it will last two years-the
thread on the trees mean. 1t is not ne,
cessary the thread should be white or
coarse; it ought rather to be fine and dark
"a thing to be felt not seen. | have
watched the birds after performing the
operation; they come boldly to settle on
the trees, and they strike against these to
them, invisible snaTes, which no doubt
they deem them to be; they fly off in a
terrible hurry, and settle on the walls and,
trees around about, longing and getting
hungry, till at last they disappear, and
yOu will see them no more.
As regards peas and other seeds, which

thread, sometimes two, along each drill
at about two inches from the ground, sup
porting it at that height by little forked
sticks. If you put it much higher than
this the birds do not seem to care for it, it
does not touch them that is the grand
secret, something they do not well see,
nor know what it means. ...a4 ..-
| have seen people put a thick white
string with feathers tied to it, and per
haps two feet from the ground. The birds

them; IN short, | know to my cost it some
times acts as lure, as a notice to the
birds that there is something to be had
