also for extra fine large chicks although
as far as the latter are concerned, L
have raised as fine large hens from
the late broods, and they were as early
and persistent layers, too, as ever came
from the early hatched. The Leghorns
and Spanish require warm weather, ana
will not bear neglect. On these two
breeds, care and feed tell marvelously'
Although they tell on any breed,
still the Brahmas, beyond the greater
amount of flesh, are more tardy in re-
turn. 1t is certain that the smaller hens
weld the largest amount OF eggs IN
wear, Just as the small cows give us the
greatest quantity of milk. 1t is a note
worthy fact that the large hens more
often drop small eggs, while the reverse
NAV be credited to the lesser birds. In
choosing eggs for setting, or rather IN
choosing hens to lay the eggs for hatch
ing, there should be some care taken.
For market chickens, select hens that
have size and plumpness, with small,
neat heads, we'll shaped and healthy.
The cock should be small-that is, not
diversified for his breed, with heavy
shanks, plump, straight breast, and
rather long neck. Many make mis-
take in choosing large, heavy cock;
in fact, an overgrown bird is not fit to
breed from at any time. His progeny
are apt to be misshapen or otherwise dis,
figured. The neat, snug, compact BIRD
is the one to choose for breeding pur-
poses, no matter whether we breed for
eggs or chickens. There is difference
in seasons in regard to the health OF
fowls as well as stock of every descrip'
ton. When the spring is cold, back
ward and inclement, the chicks will not
thrive; for prepare as we may, we can
not entirely shield them from the cold
blasts. Still the little things will brave
considerable cold if well fed. Laying
hens suffer about as much as any poul-
Try from the cold. They are extremely
sensitive in this respect. Their feed
must be regular and never neglected.

Brave Mary Harvey.

Mr.. Chase of Grindstone Island and
Millard Baxter of La Fargeville, at 3
D. M, were crossing from Clayton to
Grindstone Island. Chase was rowing.
Baxter wished to row, and in attempt
ing to change places the boat upset be-
tween Grindstone Island and Governors
Island. They remained in the water,
clinging to the boat and calling for aid.
It appeared that neither could swim.
Their cries were heard by Mary Harvey
of Syracuse, Gov. Alvord's cook. She
awakened Mr.. Alvord, who was asleep,
informing him of the accident. He
thought the men in jest, but on looking
through glass discovered the situation.
fastening to the boat-house he found
that the brave Mary had already launch
ed and showed off a boat and was away
to the rescue. Mary soon reached the
men, who were nigh exhausted, and
pulled one in. The other was also res
oued. Mary rowed them to Governors
Island, where they were warmed, fed
and clothed by Gov. Alvord. They
averred they could not have sustained
themselves minute longer. Brave
Mary is but twenty-seven years OF age.
By her promptness to the rescue she
prevented the addition of two more
names to the sad death list of this
morning.-C1ayto's IN. ~ Cor. Utica

Grandfather Lickshingle's Fish Story.

"That reminds me-" observed Grand
father Lickshingle, when the girl
brought him piece of broiled mackereI
at the breakfast table" that reminds
me of a fish that me and your grand
mother had. 1t was goldfish. reckon
it was the most remarkable fish that any
body ever heard tell of. We never
noticed any thing peculiar about it till
one bright, sunshiny day, when it jump,
ed up on the aige of its globe an begun
to sing for all the world like nightin
gale or oriole. We had canary
Rangin' close by, an you never see such
a astonished bird as it was. When ne
heard the fish a singin' he wilted right
down, and seemed to say:
"s Well, I'm blessed if that don't
beat mel After he had finished his
tune the goldfish yanked his head aroun'
under his fin an scratched hisself like q
bird would, an then the canary, that
hadn't got over his surprise, seemed to
say agin:
"Nex' thing you know, old feller,
you'll be layin' pigeon-egg."
"Well, that fish used to Jump up on
the aige of its globe an sing as reg lar
as the day 'ud come, sometimes as often
as dozen times day. When we wanted
it to sing for company, all we had to DO
was to set sheet of music where it could
see it, an out that fish 'ud come an
tackle it, whether it was Yankee Doodle
or an aria from an Italian opera.

church choir at a good fat salary, i" con-

An Alligator Story.

Mr.. w. w. Ocain, living in the neigh
borhood of Huntsville, six miles north
east of Lake City, Fla, has for years
been troubled by the depredations of a
large alligator. His track as ne made
his way through the fields has been Of
ten seen, and the frequent disappear
ance of hogs occasioned this gentleman
to make offers for his teeth. With the
hope of destroying this pest, he put out
bait and poison several weeks ago: Inc
halt was taken. but still the alligator
took in additional shotes. A large hook
was obtained and baited, but bait and
hook were taken, the latter by gnawing
the rope which held it. Things were
becoming desperate, and the recent dry
weather favored Mr.. Ocain. Last Satur-
day the alligator was traced to his hole,
and. finding it muddy, it was concluded
that he had just sought retreat. A negro
was sent in, but was Immediately seized
by the leg, and with difficulty was res
cued, badly bitten. However, the party
succeeded in killing the alligator, which
measured ten and half feet. He was
skinned and opened, and in him was
found the hook, large pig, and several
other things Having been fed SO well
it was thought good time to try alli-
gator steak, but this was prevented by
the suggestion that the meat might be
poisoned. A dog, however, was per-
mitted to eat his fill, and, strange to re-
late, in a short time was dead.-JGcE-

clear back yard of these animals in an
incredibly short time. When struck by

goodbye, but vaults over the garden

eggs hatch in warm weather than IN
cold, for in spite of every precaution
the outside ones will get chill. The
chicks should have a warm, sunny Gov
er, with gravel floor to run and scratch
on. The first thought of hen is to
scratch for her brood. For sitters pull
lets are to be preferred, as they are
more tractable and easier of manage
ment; besides they care better for the
chicks. There is little danger if kept
well housed, fed and cared for. Medi-
um-sized focks are more successful
than larger broods. There is more
profit in small focks well tended than
in larger ones half neglected. When
the hens are crowded, half the profits
are lost. For layers the chicks should
come off early that the pullets may get
done growing and into laying before
cold weather sets in; although for lay
ers we may wait until April or
even May, when the weather is more
congenial, and with the smaller breeds
later STILL Indeed, with the small
breeds, where fowls for eggs are the
only consideration, it is quite as well to
wait until July and feed well. AT this
season the little birds come out strong
and healthy, and require little attention
beyond feeding. If piled with hearty
food, they will eclipse the cold weather
chicks the following winter, as they are
perfectly hardy and robust. They have
about ten weeks at the finest season OF
the year, and the Leghorns at the ex-
piration of this period are fully feather
ed; but the feed must not be neglected:
For show birds we must set early, and

 Recent Feats in Railway Engli-
 neerS-
 There seems in these days to be no difficulties of nature which the iron rails cannot overcome When the Union Pacific Railroad crossed the summit of the South fass at an ele- vation of 500 feet, it was considered great engineering feat. Now this height is far exceeded by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad at Veta Pass, where it crosses Dump Mountain at an elevation of $500 feet: and the Denver and South Park Railroad, coming to Leadville, passes Kenosha Summit at height of over 10000 feet. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad are now surveying q route-to the San Juan region of Colorado, which will cross the range at an elevation of over 12,0G0 feet, and by grades which were formerly considered impossible. Engineers of the present day have abandoned the, old tactics. Instead of making very long detours to make easy grades over high passes, they ap- proach them more directly, and con quer the grade by using great loco motive power, and find this the cheap est in the end The Santa Fe Rail- road, however, by following the Ar kansas river on this line avoids any very heavy grades.-Corr- Chicago | Tribune.
