One Of the Cheapest and Most Reliable
Foods for Chicks and Hens:
During the past season We have made
several experiments iii feeding, With
The view Of striving st the combination
of several kinds of food. that will give
the best results at the least cost, and
for both adults and chicks the follow
lowing is excellent: Sixpart of ground
corn and oats, one part each of bran,
tniddlings and ground meat, and to
6very twenty-five pounds Of the mix
ture add half d pound of salt. one
pound ground bone, and two pounds
charcoal. The corn and oats are usual
" ground together. There is nothing
expensive about 1t except the ground
meat, but as only one pound Is used to
every eight pounds of the other ma
terials, it is not costly. Now for an
explanation of the food. But little
corn is used, as fat is not desirable in
growing chicks and laying hens. The
bran is used to somewhat tighten the
mass and preventing the middlings
from rendering 1T too adhesive. Inc
oats, middlings and meat are nitroge-
nous, the salt is necessary and oft
neglected ingredient, and the charcoal
is corrective. The bones are added to
supply any denciency of lime or phos.
phoric acid. We found that chicks fed
with this food scalded, grew very
rapidly, some of them weighing two
pounds at ten weeks old, while fol
young ducks it is superior to any thing
ever before used by us. Of course, in
feeding such concentrated food we al
so gave green stuff, or bulky material,
as we'll as providing plenty of water
With this food oyster shells are un
necessary, provided plenty of gravel OF
small. sharp stones are used. But
above all, it is one of the cheapest
foods that can be used.-Fdrm, Field

feel strange and SO paid no further at
tention to him. Suddenly, without
even bark of warning, this great dog
sprang and bit his mistress right
through the upper lip and then or her
cheek before her husband could reach
the stout collar which still enclrcled
the dogs neck The Russian succeed
ed in half momen. III dragging the
dog off from his mistress. and then he
had terrific fight with the inf:fiated
animal. If he had Not been very
muscular he would not have succeeded
in subduing him. He succeeded finally
in dragging him into bathroom and
locking him up, but not until his right
arm was bitten and torn from shoulder
to wrist.
The scene that followed !. dramatic
enough for the most sensational Of
plays. The moment the door was lock-
cd the Russian returned. He glanced
quickly at the fireplace, where he saw
the poker wa. imbedded in the Goals
and was, fortunately, nearly at a W hite
heat He drew it at once from iti bed
and said to his wife. 'sthe dog is mad.
This is our only chance to escape a
horrible death. These wounds must
be cauterized at once" The brave
American wife never finched. With
the courage of her soldier father
she submitted to have the flaming
iron burn most cruelty the flesh of
her fair face. A moments delay
upon her part or cowardice would have
! made the operation upon her hus-
bands arm useless. The moment after
cauterizing her wounds the Russian
turned to his own arm and thoroughly
burned every break made in his flesh
by the dog. After this had been done
as completely as possible they sent fot
the surgeon or the Russian legation.
He was one of the finest surgeons In
E"rrope. He came and examined them.
| He brought his irons to perform the
operation of cauterising, but he said
after he came that he had nothing to
dc, The young Russian diplomatic had
| performed the work as well as if he
had been skillful surgeon. The
surgeon also added that there was no
danger.
Thedog was undoubtedly mad. 1t tore
every thing to pieces In the room where
it was confined and died in horrible
agony. General Beale saws that neither
his daughter nor her husband have felt
the slightest symptoms of trouble re-
sulting from this accident. He says
his daughter determined from the
first that she would not allow her mind
to dwell upon it. She remembered
how her father had courageously fought
off hydrophobia, and she was fully re-
solved that no mental disturbance OF
worry upon her part should throw
open the gate to the approach of this
terrible disease. General Beale did not
mean to say that there was no such
thing as real hydrophobia upon the
part of human beings, but he sincerely
believes that in the majority of cases
it results largely from fri ht and mental
depression Branch Cor. N. y.

FORT KEoGH, NJ. r., Aug. 13.-The new
town of Luskin, Northern Wyoming, near
the Montana border, was visited by ter.
rife storm Of rain and hail, which virtually
swept it out of existence. Tue town con.
tanned several hundred houses and was
built of tents and temporary boards. The
storm literally swept the earth clear of in.
cnmbrancp. Tents, boards and canvas
were wrenched from their mornings and
whirled to the four winds of heaven.
Yards of canvas were scattered everywhere
along the neigibOring foot hills and even
far up among the mountains. There were
no casualties owing to the lightness of the
material composing the town.
