of an old snag in the middle of
the river, against which his boat
had been wrecked and sank. 1t
stood with its roots few feet
above the water and to these he
attached himself while every fresh
shock gradually settled the tree
deeper IN the mud at the bottom,
bringing him nearer to the water,
which seemed DESTROYS of swallow
ing HIM up. While hanging there
several boats passed by without
being able to deliver him until
skill was rowed short distance
above him and dropped close to
the snag from which he tumbled
INTO the boat as it passed by.
The scene which occurred for
several weeks during the repeated
shocks were horrible. The sui
phured gases discharged during
the shocks tainted the air with
their noxious effiuvia and so strong
ly lmpregnated the river $50 miles
below that it could hardly be used
for any purpose for number of
days.
New Madrid which stood on the
bluff bank fifteen or twenty fact
above the summer floods sunk so
low the next rise covered it to the
depth of five feet The bottoms
OF several lakes in the vicinity
were elevated so as to become dry
and have since been planted with
corn. The walls of several build
lngs at Cape Girardeau were
cracked in some instances from
the ground to the top and wide
assures left. The shocks were so
severe in the country that fowls
fell from the trees as if dead.
Crockery fell from the shelves and
was broken, and many families
left their ca oins from fear of be-
ing crushed beneath their ruins.
The great fire in Chicago occur
red on the 9th of October; the
next day Owe. 100000 had been
received in d onations from outside
parties. As showing the sublime
charity whio h animated the heart
of the world at that time, it may
be mentioned that it is estimated
that the amount received in cash
and supplies, and of which no rec
ord was made amounted to only a
'trlfie less than three million dol
lars. The state of Illinois gave
some three millions; of the enor-
nous amount received from other
sources it is Unnecessary to speak.
1t IS singular fact that this city
since that period has been charae-
terlzed by most astonishing in
difference in regard to the suffer
lngs of others. Whenever there
has been anything given in aid OF
suffering, it has been done grud g.
lngly and after leng delay. =

The Feeding of Young Chicks.

We cannot take up a poultry
paper but what we read more or
less of the care of chicks from the
shell, and all through their chick
enhood, and we find so many ways
of feeding that it might puzzle al
most any breeder of poultry, pro-
viding he has not very good idea,
of the most satisfactory manner of
caring for the young stock.
We can recommend the follow
ing--it is our method of feeding
them.
For the first twenty-four hours
no food, leaving hen and chicks on
nest as quiet as possible; second
and third days, bread crumbs and
chopped hard boiled eggs, shell
and all. From the fourth day to
the above mentioned food may be
added oatmeal crushed rice, mil
let and canary seed. The Gold
en- Millet'' is conceded to be the
best for feeding.
Raw onions, green oats, which
may be grown in boxes, also let
tuce cut up fine may be given oc-
casionally with great advantage
and as much variation made in the
diet as possible.
For drink, either milk or milk
and water, and this after the fourth
day.
Above,all, never leave the drink
ing troughs in the coops in such a
manner that the chicks can walk
in the liquid. Zinc troughs, with
a bar along the whole length of
them, will be found the most use
full. The bar helps to keep the
chicks out.
4 capital paste for chicks and
one that agrees with their delicate
digestive organs, is made by put
ting five parts oatmeal to one part
cooked rice, mixed with milk and
given while warm.
If there is any diarrhea, feed
boiled rice, slightly seasoned with
black pepper, and for drink give
them scalded milk.
Change of food is one of the
greatest secrets of rearing fine
birds, and we think green food is
indispensable.
And one may feed cooked meat
chopped fine, with very good re-
suits; but use it sparingly.
Feed IN the manner described
for three weeks. Then for soft feed
use cooked vegetables, mashed
mixed with corn meal and scalded
milk.
Sulphur or powdered charcoal
may be given once a week.
For dry feed we sift corn chsp,
using the crushed corn, also
cracked wheat.
1t has been our experience that
chicks fed in this manner can be
brought to weigh four pounds
when,four months old.-Colorado
Farmer.

Clean, fresh, dry dirt should be
plentifully used in the barn-yard
and stalls. It is not only an ex-
cellent disinfectant and absorbent
but the animals will use it to wal
low in and clean themselves. The
hog that has access to dry dirt
will be easier to keep, while lice
on the stock and in the stables
may be prevented by its use.
