A Remarkable Dream.

the writer the following experience.
When young man he wss examining,
with intense interest, the evidences OF
the inspiration Of the Bible. This led
him to a careful reading Of infidei obieo-
tons. some Of which greatly troubled
him; and retiring one night. after wake.

stored all the Bibles accessible to him,
And suddenly came a mighty wave,
which, with the boom It swept across
that deck, bore from it every sacred vol

the disaster awakened him in a perspira-
ton from his agonixing agitation owe,
the loss forever Of the living oracles, to
see the very Bible he had read a few
hours before lying upon the table near,
rejecting brightly the light Of the un-
clouded moon. His grateful surprise
brought to his relief a food OF tears.
While having no superstitious regard for
dreams. he said, From that experience

The Late Mrs. Hull.

Rachel Rocker Hull, who died q,
the residence OF her daughter, Mrs
John Baxter, on the morning Of the
18th inst, will live in the memory Of
tho old settlers Of Idaho, and of the
later settlers of Camas -Prairie, as q
woman OF rare character, and en-.
deared by whole life OF noble acts Of
charity and kindness to the sick
aud needy. She crossed the plains
with her husband in 1852. The hard
ships Of the trip and 3S years OF
pioneer life which blunt the instincts
and kill the religious sentiments Of
many served but to strengthen and
develop them in her. Ten years we're

her with rare Christian devotion.

4. The hen is conference.-the ia,
she eats almost everything, insects, flesh,
grain, and fruit are taken with avidity,
all attempts, therefore, to contine fowls
to single article of diet will fail, give
them a good supply OF grain, boiled po-
tatoes, sour milk and the refuse from
the table, egg shells and oyster shells
crushed, or if you cannot get these, pound
up the bones that always collect about
the yard 1t is wonderful with what
avidity fowls, especially when confined
will eat broken bones.
5. Plenty of clear water is always
necessary, stagnant or filthy water will
not do. 1t alone is sufficient to cause
disease.
6. Exercise is quite an important part
of the plan. Turn them out an hour be-
fore sunset, to pick up insects, gravel
and other substances, and it will quicken
their circulation and add much to their
powers of resisting disease, follow these
rules and your balance sheet will show
large profit.

By the above table it will be seen that
the two pens containing twenty-four
hens that were fed the egg flood, produced
81 eggs the week previous to FEEDING it
and 1913 eggs the two weeks in which it
was fed or 61h eggs per week, while the
two pens it was not fed to laid 70 eggs
the week previous and 1874 or 81 per
week. In the first comparison gain of
One-half egg and in the latter loss Of
eight eggs.
By taking the two weeks in which the
food was fed, we see no gain in the first
two pens and a trife loss in the other
pens; and to look at the flock the best
Judge could tell no difference either in
theecomb or plumage. At the retail price
at least seventy i've cents to one dollars
worth of egg food was used in the ex-
pertinent and we fail to see any return Of
money expended. SO we have had a
practical demonstration of the value or
no.value ola pref aration made to sell
and does sell. We have sent a sample of
the food to be analysed and will give that

How to Keep Fowls Shut Up.
Ormond. Fla.

As confinement is an unnatural cOndi-
ton for fowls, it is often all unhealthy
one: If large numbers are kept together
they are very apt to get disease; hence
great attention should be paid to cleanli-
ness when fowls are shut up. Lime for
the hens to eat, lime scattered over the
floor andilime used as whitewash should
never be neglected. The following rules
are very good:
1. Do not keep more than ten hens
confined in one small yard, they will be
more profitable than fifty. If you wish
a large number have several yards.
2. Do not confne them in a damp or
shaded place, but in a dry one, where
they can have both shade and sunshine.
8. AS they can not remove the filth
that accumulates it should be removed
for them. There is no permanent success
in keeping poultry in confinement with
out the utmost neatness. Their drop
pings should be daily removed from the
roosting place, and the house should be

w alter for Chicks.

Not long since breeder made known
that he raised chicks without allowing
them water at all, and the theory was at
once accepted by those who give greater
Importance to the opinions OF some one
who divulges a theory than what their
own considerations should teach We
became foolish for once and tried it.
Common sense should have taught that
water is absolutely essential in order to
soften the food, to make blood and to
assist in performing digestion and fur
nishing addition oxygen to that de-
rived from the air. The eagerness with
which the little things seized the oppor-
tunity when water was presented to
them dispelled all intentions of trying
the emo water" theory again. In fact,
young chicks drink large quantities of
water, and should have plenty of it, clean
and pure, and if there is any foundation
for depriving them of what nature de-
mands, it arises from giving them water
under circumstances that cause them to
get wet, or the water dirty, but if given
in drinking fountains, which prevent the
chicks getting into it, let them have all
they wish.-Orange County Farmer.

Don't Choke the Ducks.

A young duck will sometimes choke il
it has no water to drink when eating.
The water mist be deep enough to allow
the young duckling to get it's head and
bill down into the vessel, as with each
mouthful it cleans it's bill. This is the
reason ducklings appear to throw water
all over the floor. They are simply clean
ing their bills, which prevents clogging
of the nostrils and permits them to
breathe. They should have no water to
swim in, but water is necessity with
them when feeding, as they wash down
greater portion of the food eaten, some
OF them apparently not swallowing the
food at all.

A Double Dinner in Russia,

The Russian eats on an average once
every two hours. The climate and GUS
tom require such frequent meals, the di-
gestion of which is aided by frequent
draughts Of vodki and tea Vodki is the
Russian whisky, made from potatoes and
rye. 1t is fiery and colorless, and is gen.
orally favored with some extract like
vanilla or orange. 1t is drank from
small cups that hold perhaps half gill.
Vodki and tea are the inseparable ac-
compartments of friendly as well as of
business intercourse in the country of
the car. Drunken men are rare.
Russia and Sweden are the only coun-
tries in which the double dinner is the
rule. When you go to the house of a
Russian, be he a friend or stranger,
you are at once invited to side table,
where sailed meats, picked eel, sailed
cucumbers, and many other spicy and
appetizing viands are urged upon you
with an impressiveness that knows no
refusal This repast is washed down
with frequent cups of vodki. That over,
and when the visitor feels as if he had
eaten enough for twenty-four hours, the
host says, "And now to dinner" At the
dinner table the meal is served in courses,
with wines grown in the Crimea and in
Bessarabia, where excellent clarets and
Burgundies are made and sold for from a
shilling to half a crown the bottle
