EXTRAORDINARY SIGHT.
A Leopard Rides Girafre In the wilds o

Leopard Rides Giraffe in the wilds of
Africa.
On one occasion two sportsmen In
Africa Witnessed strange sight. They
were on horseback and had ridden a
few miles up certain stream searching
for game of any kind. They had arrived
nt thick belt of forest, consisting of
acacia and evergreen trees, when they
we're startled by the sound of breaking
branches and the unmistakabie rushing
of some heavy animal through the
thicket.
Both mon looked to their rifles and
then drew rein to watch the issue. A
few seconds only had elapsed when two
full grown giraffes were Seen to break
from the thicket and strike out at full
gallop for the plain beyond.
But the two hunters were quite un-
prepared for the extraordinary sight
that met their gaze as the wild crea-
lures few past them. A large leopard
had bounded on the back OF one of them,
while still in the forest, and was now
seated firmly on its shoulders, tearing
at the poor animals neck with the
savage ferocity of its kind.
! The other giraffe, mad with terror,
soon left its companion far behind, the
poor creatures life-blood flowing from
/ its neck and streaming over its sides.
The sportsman's dogs now joined in the
chase, following close upon the heels Of
the enfeebled animal, already tottering
to its fall. Soon they overlook it and be-
gan barking at it's heels, but the giraffe
did not give in without one struggle.
Lifting one of its hoofs it dashed 1t
backward, with unerring aim, striking
down the foremost dog and throwing it
several yards to the rear, where it lay
struggling in the agonies of death. But
this effort was the last. Jerking its long
neck violently outward the giraffe rolled
over on one side and fell heavily to the
earth, severely crushing the leopard in
its fall. Both animals were killed by
the two sportsmen.
The leopard, though fierce, is rather q
cowardly animal, and it is not usual for
1t to attack game so large as the giraffe,
especially where antelopes abound. -

exactly in its center and put the grad
uated bolt through it. Next lay the
short lever with the plate containing
the largest hole and continue to adjust
the other levers until the lever with
the plate containing the smallest hole
is on the top. Then put on the nut, but
do not secure it SO firmly as to interfere
with the free working OF each separate
lever. The rod attached at Z to the
long lever must reach to the scale beam
or steel-yard hook After making the
platform, spike blocks on its lower side
with bearing plates to lie upon the bear
ings which turn up on the levers. The
scale beam you could also make If you are
mechanic enough, but the steel-yards,
which will weigh four 10 five hundred
weight can usually be bought to better
advantage. Secure this in the beam
box in permanent manner and hook on
weight, enough to the end of the scale
beam to balance the platform and levers,
and you are ready tor business. If the
measurements have all been correctly
made every pound on the scale beam
will count for ten pounds, and an OBJ
ject will weigh the same on all parts of
the platform. But the maker will have
hair" Corrections are easily made,
however, and no farmer should think
of doing without good scale, even If
he has TO make it.-C. T. Sweet, in
Farm and Home.

FRESH POULTRY CHIPS.

RoUP is generally caused by damp
ness or draft of air blowing in on the
fowls. Keep them from both this win
ter
Do CHICKENS pay? Yes, as all know
who have given them fair trial; but
like any other business, they pay only
in proportion to the attention given
them.
Fowls must have stimulating food in
cold weather II they are expected to lay
well. Cabbage, onions and clover hay,
If the clover is cut fine and steamed,
will, il fed to hens, add to the number
of eggs laid.
HERE is what we have found to be- a
good breakfast for forty fowls: Boil a
heaping peck of potatoes, mash them,
add one-quarter each of shorts and bran,
tablespoonful each of salt and pepper;
add hot water enough TO mix into u stiff
dough.
POULTRY droppings make the best
manure for the garden. If you have not
already built tight bin for their pres
ervation you should do so at once. Their
droppings when properly saved will be
worth at least one-third as much as it
costs to keep them.
FEED literally this winter. Liberal
feeding secures liberal profits. Scantily
fed poultry pay scanty profits, If any.
Neglect to furnish enough means the
loss Of what you do give them. Either
feed your fowls we'll or give them to
some one that will do SO. Give them
proper care or kill them at once. The
sooner the better.
EVERY poultry house should have q
feed box. 1t saves food, and it is a
very poor plan to throw the food, and
especially soft food, on the floor in the
dirt or even in the shallow dishes used
by many. The latter are liable 60 be
upset and their contents trampied under
foot and wasted. Besides it does not
exhibit the true spirit of the fancier.
ALTHoUeH many persons think that
corn is oar best food for poultry, they
are far from being correct, unless the
object is to fatten for the market, then
it Is our best FOOD. But IL our aim is to
secure eggs then q breakfast Of bran
and meal cooked and seasoned to taste;
at noon seatter oas5 and wheat in the
litter upou the floor, and at night give
In winter full feed OF corn. An ex-
elusive corn diet causes the hens to lay
on too much fat, and as consequence
they cease 10 lay. y.--Fanciers' Journal

TEE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES, OF New York,
says AN extraordinary advance in the
use of cocoa seems to have taken place of
late years in England. In the House of
Commons this last session the Right Hon.
CD. Goschen, the Chancellor OF the Ex-
chequer, called attention TO itas a cause for
much of the falling off of the use OF coffee,
He attributed it in u measure to the posi-
ton preparation of cocoa known as
Grateful and Comforting had taken. In
accord with this suggestion it may be in
teresting to follow the course cocoa has
taken in England since 1882, when the duty
which had been standing at Cd. per h., with
an importation of under half million
pounds, was reduced to I'd. per lb., and not
long after we find the homeopathic doc
trne of medicine introduced into the king
dom, and that the use of cocoa was specially
advocated by physicians adopting that mode
of practice. Soon after we find the first
homeopathic chemists established in En-
gland (the firm OF james Epps IL Coz pro-
duced special preparation, which only
needed boiling water or milk to be Mt once
ready for the table, and the superior char
acter of this production has, no doubt, done
much, as the Chancellor of the EXcheouer
said, to bring about (baclSed as i, was by a
| further reduction of the duty to Id. per lb.)
