A fat hen will not lay. But how
must we feed fat hens in order to re-
duce them in flesh? BY withdrawing
all grain food during the day and
giving a plentiful feed of oats only at
night. No doubt it is disagreeable
sight to have a hen eagerly running
up for their food in the morning, only
to be refused, but stern necessity
should know no pity for them, and
they should be made to remain hungry.
They will then scratch and hunt fol
something to eat, which is just what
you desire them to do, and thereby re-
lease some of the accumulated fat.
They may be given grass twice during
the day, however, but keep the grain
from them until night. 1t will be q
treat to them when they get the oats,
and they may then have all they can
eat, just before going to the roost
After they are brought to a proper
condition they will feel better, begin tc
lay, and be less liable to disease. Oats
make excellent food for laying hens

Remoylus the Cause.

Some member Of Mr.. W. d Mann's family
hus been sick for a greater part OF This year,
and one of his sons is now sick of typhoid
fever. He lives in the jail, and Is the kecpel
OF that institution. The Jail is of brick. The
first floor Is several feet above ground, and
the walls below the floor were built up with
out sufficient ventilation, and 1t was deter
mined few days ago to find the cause of
so much sickness. Openings in the wall
have been made and the air below the floor
Is said to be exceedingly foul. The shavinsS
which were left there when the house was
built thirty years ago were in n state OF de-
G rnpusit tinn, water had run under land damp
ened everything, and from which TACT result
ed the cause OF so much sickness; Nentlila-
ton holes has been opened, and the trash
from below TIE floor is being removed, and
1t Is hope Mr. Mann's family may be re-
stored to health. II there are other persons
with insufficient ventilation they may take
the hint, and examine their premises. All
persons building new houses should ouiid
them high from the ground. and should by al
means avoid building too near to the ground.
The rubbish and dec0inposed matter which
was under the jail made many wagon loads
nnd was exceedingly offtncive to the olfactory
nerves.

THE ELLEN m. DOUGHTY.
Captain Doughty Complets Arrange
nents for Bonding His Vessel,

Captain Doughty of the captured schooner
Ella NJ. Doughty arrived at Halifax yester-
day to complete arrangements for bonding
his vessel and getting her released. John
Lyle and H. Fl. Fuller, two prominent Hal
igonians, have become security to the
amount of $4,000 for any judgment that may
be rendered against the vessel.
A curious fact has come to light in this
connection. 1t is usual under such circum-
stances as those by which the Doughty is in
the admiralty court to bond the vessel for her
full value. The Doughty cost $4,000 two
years ago and with all her gear is worth
fully that now. Yet the government law
yers only asked bonds for $4,000, or one-third
her value. This is regarded at Halifax as a
mere nominal bond.
No date has been fixed for the trial of
either the Adams or Doughty cases. In fact
the pleadings have not yet been entered with
the registrar This extraordinary slowness
of procedure, together with the demand for
only nominal bond for the release of the
vessel, taken in connection with the new
instructions issued to collectors OF customs
and the statement of the deputy minister Qf
fisheries that it was never intended that SELF
ures should be made by collectors, points
pretty conclusively to the fact that the gov
ernment lawyers have very little faith ia the
Doughty case, and that it is in imminent
danger of collapse.
Captain Doughty expects to get possession
of his vessel today. He has telegraphed for
his crew to meet him at Canso, whence
he will proceed to st. AIMS and take his
vessel thence back to Portland.
