A Camp Of Grass Huts.

Osman Digna's camp at Handoub,
whence he recently retreated to Tokar,
was composed mainly of grass huts. It.
was about one and half miles long and
three quarters of mile broad, and must,
have been capable of containing from,
1000 to 10000 people. Most of the
huts were enclosed by grass fences in,
nQronps or from three to thirty huts.
sSssss sSA s ba a, 81 sleepess and
mo attempts Seem to have been made at
forti6catiOn. THE bush was cleared for
about aFnile around the camp, though
probably moro for the purposes of fuel
and fhatching than for any military
reason. = Osman's own home was a very
neat grass hut, and apparently he did not
care about being disturbed by unwelcon,s
visitors, as between his salon and his hut
there was a regular fence made of wire
ENHANCEMENT through which there was
only one entrance at thc side. The best
made hut belonged to a nephew of the
late Mahdi Mahomed Ahmen. 1t was
constructed almost entirely of wood, the
sides alone being of very neat grass mat

CARE OF CHICKS,

A little forethought saves much after
thought When little chicks come out
they do very well in May and the earlier
part of June, but as the hotter days of
July and August crowd on us, they need
attention. In day time they want shade
and grass, and at night plenty of fresh
air. They should be kept in clean houses,
dry and freshly whitcwashed. They
should not be let out in the morning
until the dew is off the grass, and the air
IN the'r houses at night should be arranged

SHEEP LOSING THEIR WOOL.

Oldest sheep are apt to lose wool from
their bellies if grain fed, especially in
feeding with corn. The cause is indiges-
ton from over feeding. This produces
fever, and the extreme heat under the
sheep when lying down destroys the fibre
OF the wool, and loosens it from the skin

sHARP-KNIrE THE SUCKERS.

Suckers from plum and apricot trees
are frequently produced by digging the
borders. Wherever the spade strikes
against root a wound is made, and then
suckers form, and the habit, once ac-
quired, it is very difficult to stop. The
best course, as the trees are too large to
remove, would be to clear away the soil
around the suckers, and trace them to
their source, and cut them clean away

MEAT AS A FERTILIZER

What are called animal manures are
lar more powerful than vegetable
manures on account of the large amount
OF nitrogen which they contain. The
