Raising Chickens.

A lady with whom we are proud to
have an intimate acquaintance is one of
the best and most successful chicken
raisers we ever knew, says the Des
MONIES Register. And we frequently
get valuable items from her. At this
season Of the year lice are great pest,
and do more than anything else to de-
feat success in this business. If a set
ting hen is infested with lice, she Is so
annoyed that she has neither peace Or
patience. She rears about on her nest
until she breaks some of her egs, by
which the balance are smeared over,
stopping the pores of the egg
she'll, thereby killing the incipi-
ent chicken, and preventing it hatch
ing. But it is understood that greasing
a hen on her breast and under her
wings with lard will kill or drive away
the lice. But this must not be done
with setting hen, as the grease will
get on the eggs, fill the pores and pre-
Persian Insect powder or flour of sui
phur should be used to dust the hens.
After the chickens are hatched, wet a
sponge with coal oil and give the hens
light sponging with it, not too
heavily. Or at this period the back of
the heads of the chicks and the breast
and under the wings of the hen can be
rubbed with lard.
Young chickens should be kept dry
as possible from rains and dews until
they are feathered. But refrain as much
as possible from close confinement. In
dolence and idleness is destructive to
all animal life, whether it be man, ami
NAL or fowl. They must have exercise
or work. Hence it is important that
chickens, or hens, should be fed so that
it will be some work to procure their
food. 1t is a good thing for one
chicken to catch lump of food and
run with 1t, pursued by others.
When hens and roosters are cooped,
either in winter or summer, it is good
to give them some of their corn on the
cob, so it will be exercise to pick it off.
Or if shelled grain be fed, let it be in
the straw and litter in the house or
coop, so they will have to scratch for 1T.
The roosters as we'll as the hens must
have exercise or the eggs viii not be fer
tile enough to hatch.
Cleanliness is absolutely necessary
for fowls. Pure water should be kept
in their reach. Carbolated powder
should be frequently spriukled on coop
floors. Chicken houses must be kept
clean,

the hairy torpedoes from eSatng him In
the rear. When he got near the end
OF his chain the bear laid down on his
back and brought his four feet close
together, making a huge, black, woolly
bunch, which the goats all chared at
once. The three goats arrived at their
destination about the same time, but
they we're met in a different manner
this time. The claws OF the bear flew
outward, striking two OF his enemies,
ripping one of them wide open, while
the other received a terrible clawing
about the neck. The disembowelled
billy struggled to his feet and made one
last effort for revenge. He sprang at
the bear and struck him squarely in the
face. but it was his last effort. Another
rip from the black paws and he was
defunct billy. BY this time the bear
had been so thoroughly drubbed and
banged that he was in sorry condition,
but his enemies were no better off. The
living goats were both badly cut up, but
their tempers were still peppery, and
they determined to fight it out If it took
all summer. They now changed their
tactics, one taking one side of the bear
and the other the opposite.
For few minutes IL was hard to tell
which was the bear and which was the
goats, as the Kaleidoscope twirl OF
horns, hair and wool were intermingled
in one miscellaneous bunch. When
business adjourned for a recess only one
goat toed the scratch. The other one
was lying across the body of the bear
dead as the reputation of a politician,
while the bear himself seemed to have
lost all interest in the affair and only
wanted to be let alone to commune with
nature. Both animals were nearly
gone, but few minutes rest
brought them around sufficient to
finish the game, and as both were
determined to conquer it was soon
brought to a conclusion. With u last
effort the bear struggled to his feet and
rose half upon his launches, after
throwing aside the dead goat, and
waited. He didn't have TO wait long,
the last of the billies was ready. The
goat paved the ground, gave faint
whistle of rage and sprang at the faint
ing enemy, striking him in the pit OF
the stomach and knocking him over on
his back, where he lay without move
ment. 1t was now apparent the bear was
done for, and the partisans of the goat
side of the fight gave cheer of victory
aud two OF them climbed the fence to
sponge down their champion, but when
they pulled them apart they found that
both were dead, the bear having had
the life knocked out of him in the last
charge, while the goats neck was
broken by the bears paw just as they
came together. The result of the fight
was three dead goats and one dead bear.
All bets were declared off, but as every
body had enjoyed the novel affair hugely
no dissatisfaction was expressed.

HUNG IN AGONY IN The AIR.
A Street Oar Driver Suspended by a
Live EleCtriC-Light Wire.


George Miller,aged twenty-five years,
driver of car No. I70of the Grand street
line, had an experience with an electric
light wire in Chrystic street yesterday
morning that he will not soon forget,
as it is miracle that he is alive to-day.
Miller, who lives at No. 436 East Thir-
teenth street, was driving westward
through Chrystie street at about 10
o'clock, a Second avenue car just pre-
ceding him.
At No. 246 Chrystie street covered
electric-light wire dangled in a loop so
low across the street that it grazed the
top of the Second avenue box-car. When
Miller came to the spot, seeing how
near the horses the wire hung, he stop
ped the car and, taking his car-hook,
caught the wire in the loop
and pulled, intending to tear
it down, but the next instant
he was hurled from the car. Whether
in his efforts to pull the wire down he
had scraped the insulation from the
wire, or whether it came In contact
with another wire is not exactly known,
but a current of electricity that left the
iron hook was so strong that the poor
fellow, with both hands on the hook,
struggled and writhed in agony. His
face showed plainly that he suffered
ipiy. cuo oii SliOio Oli Aho PtNip w ASo
go proved futile.
There he hung as if his hands were
glued to the iron, kicking and gesticu-
lating wildly, while the muscles on his
face, neck and hands stuck out like
whip cords. Just then one man, of the
whole crowd of people that had been at
tracted to the spot by Mil
ler's gyrations, came to his res
cue. He was Mr.. Langdon, of No. 54
Kent avenue, Brooklyn. Selling Miller
around the body with one hand and the
hook with the other he tore him away
by main force, but in so doing he him
self also received terrific shock.
Once free from the grasp of the current
and an ambulance was summoned.
The surgeon soon had Miller sufi-
ciently restored to enable him to pro-
coed to the depot in the car with an
other driver, and from there he was
sent home to receive further medical
attention. Both of his hands across the
fingers are badly burned, and every
muscle in his body from his head down
was as sore as if he had gone through a
threshing machine, and although his
injuries are only temporary it will be
some days before he entirely recovers.
Shortly after the incident a telegraph
lineman came along and removed the
danger.

CIRCUS ANIMALS AT WAR.
A Desperate Fight Between an Ele-
phant and Rhinoceros on a Steamer.

A Desperate Fight Between an Ele-
phant and Rhinoceros on a Steamer.
~ have seen a. great deal of the
world, and have braved many a storm
at sea, and never felt the least tremor,"
said an old sailor to u New York World
reporter, the other day, "but am will
ing to confess was frightened on one
occasion, and braver men than l trem-
bled in their boots. 1t was about
fifteen years ago, and / was a sailor
on one OF the steamers which

AS we neared little port on the Ohio
river near West Virginia, / was on the
upper deck, when, looking below, saw
the sailors and the keepers of the ami
mails running helter-skelter, and heard
an unusual commotion. / quickly hur-
ried below, and found men, women and
children running wildly to and fro,
frantically shouting to the other steam
ers, while at the same time there arose
series of shrieks, screeches, yells and
howls, as If the inmates Of pandemonium
were let loose.
1.-The people who had collected on the
shore 10 see the fleet as 1t approached,
were unable to make out the strauge
behavior of those on board the steamer,
cut, surmising that everything was not
right among the animals in the menag-
erie, they very quickly concluded that
the open leyee was no place for them
should any of the furious monsters
make their way TO the land, and
quickly dispersed in great consterna-
tion. Just about this time, signals of
distress were hoisted, which were
quickly responded TO by two steamer as
short distance away. They both ranged
Omaha daily bee., 1889-06-24

alongside OF our steamer, when they
were informed that an awful battle was
raging between the huge double-horned
rhinoceros aud the monster war ele-
phant, Old Emperor. AS soon as the
ladies aud children could be trans
ferred to the new steamers the entire
crews Of all three steamers we're or
dered below to endeavor to separate the
combatants.
"As the portion of the main deck just
off the boilers was reached, q horribly
sickening sight met their view.
Wounded, bleeding and horribly lacer-
ated men we're lying where they had
been stricken by the terrible brutes
dead, wounded and dying horses and
ponies strewed the deck in every direc-
ton; cages destroyed and literally
smashed into fragments were scattered
among the dead, wounded and dying,
and the terrible din, shrieks, grunts
and groans plainly told them that the
battle was fiercely raging. 1t seemed
as IL every cage on the boat would
be totally destroyed, and all efforts to
separate the savage denizens of the
forest proved unavailing. At this
juncture loud crash was heard and the
two cages containing the monster sea
lions and the Labrador seals were
driven overheard. Mr.. Robinson
seemed to be very cool and collected for
a man who was witnessing the destruc-
tion of his property at wholesale rate,
mourning the loss the thousands of dol-
lars at every new onset. When
he saw his sea lions and
seals dashed overheard, however,
he decided that patience was no longer
a virtue and ordered the ,combatants
fred upon. A heavy volley was dis

the monsters, now thoroughly aroused,
than to make them fight all the more
furiously. The situation was getting
every moment more dangerous for all
on board, and the proprietors had al
most despaired of ever separating them
when it occurred to some one on board
to open the steam pipes and deluge
them with steam.
1.-THE engineer was instructed to turn
on the steam, and as 1T suddenly es-
capped from the boiler with terrific
roar, the elephant was heard to give n
shrill, trumpeting screech, such as they
always utter in crying for mercy when
conquered in their own wilds. Whether
the animal had received its death blow
from the rhinoceros or was frightened
into submission by the steam could not
be ascertained until it had cleared
away, which it did in u few moments,
disclosing to the astonished gaze of the
showmen acurious and gratifying sight.
There lay the elephant on the deck, cow
ering and trembling, uttering moans of
pain and fright, while q little beyond
was the rhinocerous, snugly ensc onced
in his cage, quaking and sbivering
with fear where he had retreated the
instant the steam was opened on him.
The attendants sprang quickly for
ward, and closed and bolted the door of
his cage, thus securing themselves
from further molestation from him.
The horses, ponies and smaller animals
that had been killed in the battle were
cast overheard, the deck was washed
and quiet once more restored, after one
of the hardest battles ever witnessed
between animals on the water"
