MILL DAM REMOVAL VETO.

The SPEAKER laid before the House a
communication from the Secretary of STATE.
transmitting to the House a bill I III. r. 35l !
to provide for the removal of mill dams,
passed by the last General Assembly, 10
which the Governor Porter filed objections
in the Office of the Secretary of State within
five days next after the adjournment of saio
General Assembly.
The SPEAKER: Tue Constitution SAWS
when bill is returned from the Governor,
with his objections, TO the House in which
it originated, the House shall proceed to
consider the bill, and il a maj ority of the
House do say so, it shall become law.
Mr.. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: 1 want to

sented to the Governor to sign / wrote home

upon and the owner requested to take as many
dollars for it, be is forced into court with

The law does not give anybody this right,

RusSia'S New Sea Cannal.

When Peter the Great founded
ST. Petersburg, he said it was "a win
dow to look out upon Europe" The
site of that city is a marsh, and it is
seventeen miles distant from Cronstadt
which is the real harbor on the Baltic
sea. The channel connecting St.
Petersburg with this harbor and for
tress has been only nine feet deep.
Recently this has been changed into
canal, which was formally opened the
other dav. The depth of this new
waterway is now from Sixteen to twen-
ty feet, while it is from $50 to 24o feet
in width. As Cronstadt is supposed
to be lmpregnable as against all the
fleets of the world, the Russian Navy
has now secure retreat, and there Is
room enough to build ships of war
equal to those of the most favored ma
ton. All danger of war for the pres
emf with Great Britain is happily over,
but the Gar is getting ready for the
inevitable struggle in the not distant
future. Russia demands an outlet to
the trade of the world, and the longer
she is kept back the more overwhelm-
ing will be the torrent that will finally
burst over Europe.-Dem0,est Month

of Thomas Callyle is hung with green
creeping teathery plants, and on a

Comets Due this Year.

What are known as the periodical
comets are those which revisit our
skies at stated intervals. Encke's
comet, which was first seen in 1886,
passed its perihelion on the 9TH OF
March last. 1t returns regularly every
three and one third years. Ulber's
comet, which was first seen in~ISI5.
ought to put IN an appearance short
~, as its perlodicity Is about IS years.
Halleys comet, whose period is also
seventy-five years, has been traced
back as far as 1856, since which it has
made five recorded returns. 1t is not
due till 1911. Swift's comet, which has
a period OF five and a half years, ought
to show up toward the end ofthis year.
Tuttles comet, which has period of
thirteen and hall years. is due in
July of the present year. Then the
unexpected may happen IL the way of

A good deal of complaint has reach
us from different sources of late res ar
ding instances OF badly swelled feet
upon mature fowls. Formerly this af-
lection has been largely confined,
within our knowledge, to the heavy
breeds, sucn as Cochlns, Brahmas, etc.
But now we hear frequently of Its &C.
currence among the Leghorns and
smaller varieties.
Generally speaking, this disease has
been recognized as humble foot"
and is caused oftener than otherwise
through a bruise upon the sole of the
fowls foot. But latterly, this same
kind of swelling has occurred in NJ
merous instances both upon the bot
toms OF the feet and above the toes
rendering the bird quite lame.
We have never known but one way
to manage this complaint; and that is
as soon as the swelling ripens fairly

Late Chickens.

Late chicks may be made more pro-
fit BILE than early ones. Chickens
from eggs set in August and Septem-
Der, may be kept warm in a tight
glazed house, and fed so they will
grow continually through the winter,
and if they come later all the better, If
they are well kept and fed. The
earlier broods will be sala6le at good
prices. when the market Is bare of
chickens, and the latter ones will fur.
nish spring chickens, long before the
usual supply comes to hand. Spring
chickens hatched IN fall or even winter
are rare, but not entirely unknown to
few persons, who have made the
discovery, that, with good feed, warm
quarters and a warm mess at least
once day, warm drink and cleanli-
ness, there is no difficulty at all about
raising them. and at a good profit.

Poultry Keeping Among
AnCientS.

Never heard of any /! will be the
utterance of many fanciers as they
read the heading. However will ad-
duce few points from which the infer
ence may be drawn that poultry keep
ing was very much in practice, both In
the Old and New Testament time.
We find in that perhaps Oldest of Bibi-
cal records, the book of JOB (chap. VI.
O., mention made OF the absence OF
taste IN the white of an egg. shall
assume, then. that the yolk of an egg
had also at that time been subjected to
gustatory experiment, and that Its ut
ness as food for man was recogniz-
ed. Indeed, it might well have been

of nutrition blended in just proportion;

sustain the strength ofthe hearty or to
repair the frame debilitated by dis
ease or accident.
In the First book of kings (chap. iii.
22), where enumerating the daily re-
oulrements of King Solomon's court
and retinue, mention is made, among
other creatures, of grass fed and stall
oxen (early artificial scientific fatting),
also Of ''fatted fowl" clearly implying
a state of domesticity, and a prepare
ton fer table by recognized process
of fatting. What manner OF fowl this
was must leave to the individual i'm,

How much more closely poultry
keeping was connected with the daily
life OF citizens OF the New Testament
times IN inferable from the facts relat-
ed respecting Peters denial. am
inclined to think that it was not an I'M
common occurrence that the Growing
of cocks did pentrate these precincts,
otherwise sacred to order, silence, or

famlliarized with the sound that they

The food provided for the hens was
invariably good. clean and wholesome
as well as gwen In sufficient quantities.
htoter item was clean, fresh water at
least once day. Ia winter cold wa

Titles the fowls required is really sur
prising, but have found that whatever
is for their comfort is for my profit,
and the pals are filled as often as re-
qered.
OF grains, the hens seem to approve
most highly of corn; this feed on the
cob-to furnish employment-in the
kernel, cracked, crushed, ground in
meal and in cob meal. As staple of
diet it is too heavy and fattening. ex
cep, as cob meal. / have never used
any food which | liked better thar
corn in this form. But it can only be
obtained by taking the corn to the mill
in the ear and having it ground or at
least it is not for sale IN our market.
The poultry eat it eagerly; it seems to
stimulate egg production, and keeps
the fowls in good, healthy condition.
Next in value / would place that
too-little appreciated grain, buck
wheat. For chickens it is very valu-
able, beirg small enough for them to
peck it easily.
Oats furnish a good grain to scatter
for the hens to pick up; and while 1t is
not so we'll liked by the flock, 1t is free
from all objections on the score Of
health.
But the very cheapest food that will
keep a flock running is brewers grams.
For hens not laying, to satisfy the vo-
racity OF the young fowls, ducks, geese
and birds of that ilk, they are worth
far more than they cost. keep them
almost constantly where the fowls have
access to them, and find it pays. But
woe to the poultry keeper who strives
to fat for market, or raise eggs, on a
diet of grain and oyster shells His
returns will be as nothing; yea, even
as thin as the breasts of his spring
chickens will they remain.
As for millet and other fancy grains,
/ have no manner of doubt but that
the fowls would do well upon them.
So they would, doubtless, upon bird
