II is estimated that ore bushel OF
corn. or its equivalent, will keep a hen
a year, but they no doubt require
more when in confinement. Much
depends upon the breed, climate,
health and productiveness OF the fowls.
We think five pecks better estimate
for a years feed. Cottonseed meal
should be fed only twice week, and
only ,easpoonful for each hen at a
time. Llnseed meal is better.

COOKED FOOD.

Cooked food of anv kind is much
easier to digest than il is in raw state,
and tits claimed by chemists that the
NITROUS value of some kinds of food is
increased by cooking it. 1t has been
experimental with swine and cattle
over and over again, and with excel
lent results, for any method of softning
gram, either by cooking 1t or by fer
mentation, turns t. { starch into sugar,
which is much easier digested.
It's very beneficial for fowls, even if
the food is simply steamed and fed to
them warm. Do not feed cooked food
entirely, for 1t is liable to cause diar-
rhea or something of that nature,
which may develop INTO something
worse.
The fowls are very fond of warm
morning feed, especially duriug E
cold weather II winter, aud if red pep
pei, chopped onions or "hot stuff" Of
any kind be mixed occasionly with
their food, it will greatly help to keep
them healthy and active, which Is har.
to accomplish in winter, and as a re-

Sickness Of Ducks.

As we have had several inquiries re-
garding loss of ducks we present the
letter of subscriber, who says: My
brother and have raised ducks this
year and just as they began to feather
they nearly all got sick, would roll
over and over. in a day or two be IN
able TO stand, and three or four of them
died. Then We began giving them
wood charcoal in their food after this
the sick ones got well and We had no
more sickness in those broods. The

but We gave them charcoal in time 10

was too rapid feathering; the same as

ILLEGAL FEES.
Testimony in the Case of DR.. Ames.

BOsT0N, June Is.
In the United States Circuit Court to-day
the case of DIR. Azel Ames, charged with ex-
torting money from pension applicants while
in the employ of the United States govern
ment, was continued. Alvin Drake, Jr., of
Melrose, testified that he paid William ].
Mansfield, who acted as Ames' agent $500
to secure pension for him. "Subs. Quently"
said witness, II met DR.. Ames who asked
me how much money had for him. told
him had paid 5000 to Mansfield and Dr.
Ames replied that 500 of that belonged to
him." Witness brought suit against Mans
field, to recover part of the money paid him
and received back from Mansfield in all
$l35.
Dennis Harrington of East Boston paid
Mansfield $500 for securing pension of $54l.
The latter demanded $50 more, other~i.e he
(Marsf-ld) would have to take that amount
out of his own pocket as he must give it to
DR.. Ames. They had a great many cases of
that kind and must keep Ames straight.
Michael II. Roman, Wakefield, testified !:
DIR. Ames examined him the last time he
was examined. Since he had received his
pension he had talk with Ames, the latter
asking what pension he received and witness
replied $5 per month. Ames declared he
ought to receive twice that and on Romans
inquiring, ''why didn't you give me more?"
expressed surprise that he himself had been
examining surgeon. Witness paid Mansfield
$75 for securing the pension.
L. p. Black, Stoneham, testified exam
ined by Ames and drew $l2S pension money
When this was drawn he paid Mansfield
$40O.

LONDON, June Is,

LONDON, June Is.
Mr.. Gladstone was in his usual place in
the House of Commons this afternoon, and
he was greeted with cheers when he rose to
make the announcement; that the Marquis OF
Salisbury had consented to form a new gov
ernment. MIR. Lsbouchere, radical, asked
MIR Gladstone if there WAS any truth in the
report that the Marquis Of Salisbury had only
consented to form conservative mir orily
when assured of assistance by the present
liberal government. Gladstone in reply as
sured Labouchere that he (Gladstone) was
ignorant OF the existence OF any arrangement
whereby the present government was bound
by any promise to assist the conservative
government.
The House then completed the remaining
stages Of the bill granting an annuity to Prin-
cess Beatrice on the occasion of her marriage,
and accepted amendments made by the Lords
to the redistribution of seats bill.
On motion of Mr.. Gladstone the House ad
journ.d until Friday.
The leaders of the conservative party in
cluding the members of last Disraeli cabinet.
Col. Frederick Stanley and Sir Harbridge
Clifford excepted, met at noon to-day in the
residence of the Marquis of Salisbury. The
names Of members OF the new cabinet will
be submitted to the Qieen upon the ARRIVAL
of her majesty at Windsor Castle.
Lord Churchill arrived ut the residence of
the Marquis of Salisbury just before meeting
of conservative leaders had dissolved. Tue
marquis explained to the meeting the results
of his interview with the Q Ieen and hoped
he would have the assistance of his colleagues
to form cabinet. Almost the unanimous
opinion expressed was in favor of acceptance
of office by conservatives.
The Ulst conservatives are signing a mt
mortal in favor of the adoption of Earl Spen-
GERS minimum of coercion bull The Marquis
OF Salisbury may propose the renewal of the
act on the understanding that it will be en-
forced only in emergencies.
1t is reported that Lord Randolph Churchill
insists upon thorough reorganization of the
conservative party. sending Sir Stafford
Northcote to the House of Lords. making
SIR Michael Hicks Beach leader in the House
Of Commons, and excluding the other men,
bers of the old cabinet.
Lord Salisbury had another conference
with Sir Stafford Northcote late to- night. II
is believed his efforts to form a ministry
has not been slccessful. Lord Randolph
Churchill's action and views on the coercion
question appear likely to upset the conserva-
tives.

BIG BEAR.
A Sketch of His Hi.tory-Who He is
and Where He Came From.

QUEBEC, June Is.
A Mrs. Dubois, living in St. Ssuveur, the
adjoining municipality to Quebec. claims to
be cousin of Big Bear, and says his proper
name is Edouard Lambert, and he is the son
of Louis Lambert, farmer, Marie Frechette
of ST. Nicholas county of Lewis, and is there
fore a cousin of the poet Laureate, L. H.
Frechette. She states that when Edouard
was 20 years of age he left St.. Nicholas for
the United States with two friends. Nothing
was heard of him by the family for 20 years,
when 4 letter WAS received stating that he had
been taken prisoner by the Cree Indians, and
that they guarded him SO closely that he was
unable to escape.
After this, by acts of bravery, he won the
admiration of the Indians, and was conse-
quently obliged to accept the daughter OF the
chief as his squaw. Upon the death of the
chief he was chosen to succeed him by the
tribe.
To substantiste the above, Mrs. Dubois
states that one of Edouard's brothers subse-
quently visited the northwest and recogn zed
Big Bear as his brother. The identification
was unmistakable from certain life marks,
which, despite the Indian paint were discern
able.

THE EMBDEN MURDERER.
Two Heavily Loaded Billies Found ia
His Cell.

NORRIDGEwocK, June 10.
Last Thursday evening, the jailer, Sheriff
Baker. entered the cells on the lower floor
Of the Jail at Norridgewock, to change some
OF the prisoners to the upper floor. While
there he made an examination of the cells
and found two billies, each heavily loaded
with lead, and two new files. The bilIies
were found beneath the mattress of the bed
of j. Frank Walker, the Embden murderer
He was sentenced last winter to State Prison
for life, but has been kept here on account
OF exceptions filed by his counsel. Mr.
Walker admitted placing the billies beneath
the mattress, and the general impression is
that he intended at a favorable opportunity
to use them upon Mr. Baker and attempt es-
cape. Mr.. Baker THINKS that these articles
have been furnished by friends who have
called to see the prisoner. No one is now
allowed to see him unless closely watched.
