Feeding Corn to Fowls.

In feeding for winter laying, the first
rule is that fowls VIII not lay when fed
on corn alone. The next thing is to
know what, when, and how to feed
them. The ''feed no of whole corn and
nothing else'' does make weak fowls in
the spring. The fowls stop Just short of
producing eggs, while feeding 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 a
less quantity than when it is thrown
daily to them with no other feed.
There is a difference between feeding
fowls for laying and for fattenng. Yet
a certain amount of fat is a necess ty,
and they will regulate this matter them
selves if allowed the privilege.
Nature in tn 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 repetion on whole corn;
but one that is half starved or only sees
corn once or twice day, will do it as
often as the occasion offers Vegetable
food, animal diet, and milk when it can
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 as 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 both
animal and vegetable food, allowing
only scant ration of corn once dav.
My meaning is to feed sufficient other
diets, so that the fowl will not partake
too freely of the corn. feed corn once
a day, and that at night, in cold
weather, when they will consume more
than in warm weather. If fed other
grains, which also are necessary for
reproduction, or buckwheat, the con-
sumption of corn is much less; still they
require some corn.
The object in feeding laying hens is to
produce strength without making at the
same time an excess of fat There is
also difference in breeds A rule
which would apply to one class of fowls
would not do for another. To non-set-
tiers (which are the continuous layers)
there is little danger of an over feeding
OF corn, II other food is given in sutfi-,
cient quantity and regularity Fowls
should never be neglected when con-
fined; neither should they be stinted in
quantity of drink. To the Asiatics the
rule of only scant ration of corn once
day might be applied, while the OPP
posite rule would apply to the'smaller
breeds. The ''scant ration of corn once
a day is intended to apply to egg pro-
duction. In ''winter-feeding of fowls
the keeping of corn within their. reach
is advocated. Country Gentleman.

An ''Ornary" Cavalry Horse.

''Just see those boys whipping that
horse" said an old cavalryman the
other day; ''it shame to misuse an
animal so; but some horses are mighty
ornary, that's fact. Reminds me of
that Nick | rode when l was a recruit
Nick ioined the regiment before | did,
and alwa seemed to think that acci-
dent entitled him to be my master,
while ] wanted to be his master. We
never got through arguing about it.
sometimes he had the best of it; some
times | had. Honors were easy between
us. When Nick couldn't have his own
way he d end up on his hind legs and
pretend he was in circus. Twas a
whole circus for me, too
Zone morning our troop went for
ward to drive in the enemys pickets.
We VIII pped out our sabers, charged
down through the fog and mud, yelling
like a band of Apache scalp hunters,
and found nothing. We wheeled out
of the road into field, counte marched,
then hated for the other companies to
come up. We looked at ca h other and
began to laugh in sheepish kind of
way. when, without warning, we got
laundering volley right in our rear.
Nick was on his hind legs in m mute,
sailed up through three sets of fours,
and landed with his fore feet over
another horses neck. Such a scat
tering of horsemen you never saw.
The bullets kept zipp. NO around and
SO did the curses. At last Nick's feet
were disentangled from the other
horse's bride, and he stood painting on
four feet-but only for an instant
He'd clean routed one platoon, but his
ambition wasn't satisfied, and he took
a fresh start. Every man lodged and
drove in his spurs when he saw Nick
hoofs close to hishead, flying like the arms
of a windmill. / clutched his name, but
dared not pull on the bride lest the
brute should fall backward and drive
the pommel of the saddle through my
ribs. Knocking him on the head with
the saber hilt only seemed to inspire
him with new ideas. The whole squad
ron was in wild confusion. At that
moment Nick spied the Captain and
made for him with both feet and his
mouth wide open. The Captain swore,
ordered me off, half drew his revolver to
shoot the beast-then clapped spurs to
his charger and lit out The whole
company had been defeated, Captain
included, and Nick was happy. His
eyes shone with the light of conqueror
as another trooper seized his bride and
towed us back to our place.
The Captain ordered me into the
guard-house when we reached camp
and fattened me on hard tack and water
but it wasn't reasonable tossuppose

that, and the bullets flying around so

Three Remarkable Escapes.

On the journey between Ogden and
of an early settler in California. he
was lawyer and full of "reminiscences
Of the early administration Of law In the
State. 1t seems to have worked con-
sistently, so as to give the odd chance
to the criminal. Three escapes are
worth recording. The first happened
at Esmeralda, town near the border
of Nevada and California. A man was
being tried for murder. a very bad case.
Esmeralda being at the t me under
stood to be in California, the Judges.
Sherifls and jury were all from that
State. The case for the prosecution
was concluded, there was literally no
defense, and the fate of the prisone
seemed sealed. The Judge was about
to address the jury, when the official
surveyors, who had been working in
the neighborhood for some days, ar
rived in the court and announced that
Fsme aida was in Nevada. "Then.
gentleman, . said the Jud re, rising and
reaching out for his hat, 81 don't know
that I've any business here. II
reckon, Judge, that we've none either, .
said the jury, beginning to d;sperse. 81
guess I'm in the wrong box. too, said
the prisoner, and ont he went with the
crowd, and was not seen in the neigh
borhood any more.
In the second case the prisoner got
off by an oversight of the Judge. This
happened at Sacramento. The man
had been caught red-handed in the act
of murder, but in accordance with the
possibilities of American law had been
bailed out At the sitting of the court
the man surrendered, and the response
bility of his bondsman there ended.
This was preliminary inquiry, and
what the Judge had to decide was
whether the man should be held to an
swer the charge before a jury, a process
akin to our magisterial inquiry. After
hearing the evidence the Judge "held
the prisoner to answer" but omitted
the next formula of delivering him into
the custody of the Sheriff. 1t was ac-
cordinglv the business of only single
person to look after the prisoner. That
person was himself, and Judging he
would be better outside, he walked out
and has not since been captured.
The third case is less nearly connect
ed with legal formula. A Sheriff had
after hot chase caught e prisoner
charged with shooting fellow-practi-
toner at the bar Of hotel. AS there
was some talk of rescue, the Sheriff, a
determined fellow, spared no precau-
ton. He had the prisoner bound and
carried into substantial log hut. Arm
ing himself to the teeth he determined
to keep watch himself through the
night He barricaded the door, and for
greater safety slept across it, placing
his prisoner in the corner remotest from
the door. Il guess, he said, as he lay
down. ''if tn Y take the boy they Il have
to stride over my body" At daybreak
he was awakened by cold draught,
and looking round saw that he was the
sole occupant of the hut. The prison
er's friends had raised one corner of
the hut with screw-jack, the prisoner
had rolled himself out, and was already
well across the border. Cor. London
