WARNING POULTRY HOUSES.

If your poultry house is damp and
cold hang up stable lantern az night,
suspended with wire and do not have the
flame too high. 1t will not only warm
the house some, but dries the air therein.
Do not be afraid of any carbonic acid
gas, or have any teTrors about the en-
trance Of fresh air, for even one lantern
may not be sufficient to warm the house
on a cold night, as more so-called fresh
air THAT is cold air will get in than you
can keep out, even if you try Another
point-when you build poultry house
have your windows large. Do not be
afraid of plenty Of glass. The sunlight
on the floor and walls dries the house,
makes the fowls cheerful and happy, and
renders the interior Of the house as
bright as outside. True, glass radiatcs
heat at night, but it also permits the
wood to absorb heat during the day.
The heat of the night can be retained
with hanging lamp, but the glass
should let in the heat during the day

l have seen numerous sp eclmens OF our
saurian no longer than an ordinary lead

Matching. have also seen a few living
specimens about sixteen feet in length.
In the autumn Of 1875 l obtained for
the late bingham Lawrence, Member Of

isiana to the Centennial Exhibition, the
dried skin Of an alligator which, after at
least fifteen inches had been cut from
the snout and skull, AMI ten inches from
the end OF the tail, still measured seven
teen feet ten inches in length. Allowing
more than six inches for sbriukage ia
drying, this monster OF his kind, alive,
must have measured more than twenty
feet. lie was killed in the lower part
of Bayou Lafourche.
Probably the largest alligator ever
seen in Louisiana was killed in a small
lake on the plantation of II. J. Fetus in
Concordia Parish. According to the
statement Of Mr.. Feltus, now Of Baton
Rouge, this specimen measured twenty
two feet in length. The great reptile
bad long been famous for miles around,
having destroyed numbers Of hogs and
hounds owned in the neighborhool of
his retreat. He had become 50 wary,
from the number Of Intellectual shots
fred at him, as to be almost uuapproach-
able. Finally he fell victim to long
shot fired from a Mississippi rifle in the
hands of Mr.. Feltus, who had perseverel
in hunting him, having been the greatest
loser by his depredation'. Tde huge
carcass of this reptile was towel to the
bank by boat. Itreluired the strength
of a pair of mules and a stout rope to
haul it ashore, where the measurements
was made with the result noted above

Catching Tcrrapin.

In the sh0al waters along the coast
south of Cape lIenl0pcn tcrrapin are
caught in various ways. Drcdges
dragged along i'm the wake Of sail
ing vessel pick them up. Nets
stretched across some narrow arm or
river or bay entangle the feet OF any
stay tcrrapin in their mcshes; but it
REQUIRES the constant attendance OF
the fisherman to save the catch from
drowning. In the winter, in the
deeper water, the terrapin rise from
their muddy quarters on mild, sunny
DAYS and crawl along the bottom.
They are then taken by tongs, their
whereabouts being often betrayed by
bubbles. Turtles will rise at any
noise, and usually the fisherman only
claps his hands, though each hunter
has bis own way of attracting the ter
rapin. One hunter whom saw, ut
tered a queer, cultural noise that
seemed to rise from his boots. What
ever the noise, all the turtles within
Observation-Disclosures terrapin or snapper
will put their heads above water.
Both are welcome and are quickly
sold to markctmen. The snapper
slowly appears and disappears, leav-
ing scarcely a ripple; and the hunter
cautiously approaching usually takes
him by the tail. The tcrrapin, on
the contrary, is quick, and will de-
scend in an Oblique direction, so that
a hand-net is needed unless he hap
pens to come up near by. If he is
near enough the man jumps for him.
The time for hunting is the still
hour at either sunrise or sunset.-St.
Nicholas.

One Of the Quaintcst and most
thrilling escapes from grizzly was
made by Jack Beam, Of Montana.
With three other cowboys, he was out
on the range rounding up some cattle,
when, from some unknown cause,
they became frightened and dashed
away in a perfect panic. In vain the
cowboys tried to check and turn the
cattle from their mad career. For
miles they tore along until they
reached the brink Of a small preci-
pice, from which they dropped, kill
ing scores and hundreds. This
checked the stampede, and the cow
boys began gathering up the herd.
While thus engaged, Jack became
separated from his companions. A
bunch" of cattle wandered into a
deep rayine, and finding that they re-
fused to move at the sound Of his
voice, Jack left his bronchO and
rushed at the cattle, whip in hand.
Just as he got them started he heard
a fierce grOwl, and, on looking lack
saw a huge grizzly emerge from the
bushes and start toward him. He
was we'll aware Of the terrible nature
Of the animal, and as the bear was
fast closing the distance between
them, he fled as fast as his legs could
carry him. Presently he reached a
small knoll, and just below was a
steer, leisurely grazing. In an instant
Jack leapcd down on the steers back,
and in another instant the animal
made mad dash down the rayine to
get rid Of the unweicCmc rider. Jack
clung on with all his might until his
strength gave out and he was tumbled
off, while the steer continued On I'M
til it rejoincd the herd, but the
grizzly was completely distanced.
When Jack was found he was bruised
and insensiblc. but soon recovered,
and the next day the big grizzly was
rounded up and killed.

Some usss OF PaIsr.

A writer in a late number of the Papo,
Mill SAYS some of the uses to which paper
can be put were summed up by a bright
woman the other day
She says that paper, being nearly air
tight, will exclude cold and should BE-
used more than it now IS. Builders place
paper between the boards and clasp
boards of house and we would 90 well
to follow their example in smaller mat
tiers. Farmers have found that the extra
warmth secured by lacking several thick.
nesses of newspapers around the inside
of henhouses, etc, has saved extra food.
A layer of paper under a carpet is pre-
ierable to straw, which is sometimes
used, and If the paper made for this pur
pose cannot be obtained, several layers
Of newspapers will do nearly as well.
Papers spread between bed coverings will
take the place of extra blankets. 4
folded paper is an excellent lung pro-
tector-one over the chest aud another
around the shoulders, under the outside
garment, would Often ward of cold
and perhaps pneumonia. Dissolved in
flour paste newspapers make q useful
filing for cracks in floors and elsewhere.
Scraps OF paper, wet aud scattered over
the floor, when sweeping, WI save the
dust in the room as well as brighten the
carpet. Bits of paper with scapsud5 are
efIeclual in cleaning bottles and arc easily
removed with water. Greasy dishes and
kettles, if first rubbed with paper, wash
much easier; the paper absorbs the grease
and is all the better for kindllng the fire.
\ grease spot can often be taken out Of
a carpet or garment by placing two OF
three layers OF paper ever it and then
putting warm iron on the paper The
heat softens the grease and the paper
absorbs it, and by changing paper and
iron occasionally all the grease will dis
appear. Soft news paper or tissue paper
is preferable 10 cloth for cleaning lamp
chimneys, windows, mirrows, etc, as it
leaves no lint; also for knives, spoons
and tinware after securing; AMI stove

Scraps of writing paper, or that used
on one side only, may be utilized in sew
eral ways; bowls and glasses without
covers may be used for jelly by cutting

evenly upon the jelly; then another
cover of softer paper large enough can

Heated Air.

Heated air prefers the top Of the
room, and thus leads TO the c0nsump-
ton Of a large amount Of fuel In order
TO get small amount Of heat upon
the floor, where it is most needed.
An invention is so designed and ar
ranged that about fifty per cent. OF
the heat is reflected upon the floor,
but the heat in the products of COM
bustion is utilized in warming the air
in the room, which it puts in circula-
ton. So economical is this stove that
about thirty-hye per cent. Of the en-
tire heat units contained in the gas
are made available, as against ten per
cent. from coal CRATE fires. In all
bedrooms, and fOrheating in moder-
ately cold weather, stoves of this
character, from a sanitary point Of
view, would be worth their weight in
gold; for, in one minute after light
ing the gas jets, the reflected heat
may be felt upon the floor.

INCUBATION FOR hog CHOLERA.

According TO a statement furnished by
DR.. D. E. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau
OF Animal Industry, there has been dur
ing the last summer an outbreak of swine
disease in La Sale County, Ill.,, and the
farmers applied to Secretary Rusk for
relief. At their urgent request Dr.
Schroeder, OF the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, was delegated to make investi-
cations and to give such advice and as
sistance as was needed.
As further stated By DR.. Salmon under
a later date, ffty-fye hogs hal been pur-
chased and divided into three lots. OF
these, eighteen had been inoculatel by
Dir. Schroeder according TO the method
used by the Bureau OF Animal Industry,
and eighteen others by another person
according to another method, and nine
teen were not inoculated. being kept by
themselves, and were held to determine
whether the animals had been exposed to
disease previous to inoculation, and
whether the inoculated animals resisted
disease better than those which had not
been inoculated. According to this last
report the hogs not inoculated were all
well, none of those inoculated by the
Bureau hal died, while four of those in.
oculated by the other method were
dead.
TIE subject is chiefly interesting from
the fact that a committee of the farmers
agreed to pay one-halt of the expense of
the experiment, thus showing their IN
tercst in it and their desire for further
light on the question whether any sys-
TEN Of incubation is a preventive for hog
cholera. DR.. Salmon did not oppose in
oculation, but he pointed out dangers
connected with it which farmers should
understand before they adopted it. In
the meantime the report of the commit
tee Of farmers experimenting the exper-
iment made at Ottawa will be looked for

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Have the sheep barn light aud we'll
ventilated.
Breed from pure, good poultry stock
get rid Of your culs.
Are you doing anything to have better
roads in your neighborhoodl
Poultry neels shade as we'll as sun
shine; plant at least one tree in your
yard.
With sheep and clover the poorest soil
can be made rich. Both return to the
land more than they take from it.
Plant plenty of sunaowers; the seed is
not only relishel by the birds, but is
productive Of health, aud the plant fur
nishes shade.
The dairyman who does not make his
COWS pfoatably productive when their
care and keep are the most expensive
will not make the dairy pay.
You cannot change your system Of
farming at bound-you must do it
step by step. If your system is wrong
take the first right step now.
During the cold snaps watch your
watering vessels. The water should be
turned out each night and replaced the
next morning with slightly warmed
water.
Regularity in feeding, watering and
milking are important items in securing
good results from COWS, and comfortable
shelter, with bedding enough to keep
the animals clean.
Corn husks do not make a feather
bed, but il clean and dry, and stripped
up fine, they are much better than straw,
and will last many years if taken out each
summer, shaken up and we'll aire in

Figuratiyely speaking, the bed OF
the Atlantic Ocean has at last been
laid bare. English, American, Ger

the ooze that lies at the bottom Of
the great watery waste. According
to these maps and diagrams the At

like that of Tcneriffe, or huge mount

surface. Between Ireland and New
foundland there exists a remarkable
submarine plain, always referred to
