SOME little excitement was

SOME little excitement was
caused on Thursday morning last
near the upper Falls, by the raft of
the New York Lumber Company
running into and colliding with the
dredge-b boat, Herndon. The latter
was in the middle of tho stream,
and was held tight by ropes that
were stretched across the river on
both sides to keep her in position.
The raft came down so swiftly that
it was next to impossible to handle
it, or steer it clear Of the drcdge-
boat, there being but four men on
it at the time of the accident. The
raft, consisting of two hundred logs,
was broken into about forty or fifty
pieces, all of which were afterwards
caught and taken to the shore and
securely fastened. Capt. George
Lord, of the tug-boat, Lizzie Frank,
who happened to be on hand during
the accident, deserves special praise
for his cool manner of acting, there
by rendering aid when ii was most
ly needed. No lives were lost as
was at first reported.

ON the first page of our to-

Bill Of the Medical and Surgical
Association of the Parish Of Rap
pidss. Some of the physicians of
this Association say that the pub
lished list is merely the report of
the Committee appointed, and has
yet to be submitted, whilst the 9TH
ers contend that each and every
item or article thereon has been
singlv and separately voted on, en-
dorsed and unanimously adopted
by the Association. Evidently a
mistake, on the part of some one,
has been made, and rather than do
harm or injustice to any of the gen
tlemen concerned, CT to the Associ-
alton itself, we will await with pa
tience the action of the Associa-
ton, which body meets tomorrow.
Our structures or criticism on this
much mooted topic will then be

Feeding Corn 10 Fowls.

In feeding for winter laying, the first
rule is that fowls will not Law when fed
on corn alone. The next thing is to
know what, when, and how to feed
them The ''fced NC of whole corn and
nothing else" does make weak fowls in
the spring. The fowls stop Just short of
producing egg, while feed ng corn with
other food brings better results. AT the
same time fowls can not, or will not,
lay without the corn. AS stated before,
corn is the staple grain, and when kept
within their reach they will consume
less quantity than when it is thrown
daily to them with no other feed.
There is difference between feeding
fowls for laying and for fatten:ng. Yet
certain amount of fat is neccss.ty,
and they will regulate this matter them.
selves if allowed the privilege.
Nature in this case is the better
teacher. Where the first feed is given
with regularity in the morning, fowls
that are in health and well fed will not
fill the crops to repletion on whole corn;
but one that is half starved. or ONLY sees
corn once or twice a day, will do i, as
often As the occasion offers. Vegetable
be afforded, are appreciated and re-
quired by laying fowls. If these varied
diets are given, and corn is kept within
reach, they will take it a; nature or the
appetite prompts. If the corn is kept
from them, they are apt to overload
when it is given. For this reason poul-
try keepers should give in winter b tn
animal and vegetable food, allowing
only scant ration of corn once a day.
My meaning is to feed sufficient other |
diets, SO that the fowl will not partake
too freely OF the corn. feed corn once |
Il day, and that at night, in cold
weather, when they will consume more
han in warm weather. Ii fed other
grains, which also are necessary for
or buckwheat, the con-
of corn is much less; still they
require some corn.
The object in feeding LAYING hens isto
produce strength without making at the
same time an excess of fat ISOre -
also differences in breeds. A rule
which would apply to one class of fowls
would mot do for another. To non-set-
