When Birds Are Frightened.

AS the balloon neared Petersfield we
entered a dense bank of clouds and ran
in them for some three miles, emerging
over the chalk downs and skimming.
about SO feet over Il windmill. Passing
over a large rabbit warren. it was anus
ing to witness the alarm of the Dummies
as they dived into their burrows. which
from above presented the appearance
of. hundreds of circular black spots.
Balloons have a very terrifying effect on
all birds.
AS, one passes over Il farmyard there
is always a regular stampede of the
fowls under cover. while ducks dash into
the ponds and dive frantically to avoid
the supposed danger The effect of the
diving is most absurd. as seen from
above, for often. owing to the transpa-
rency of the water. the violent efforts
of the ducks to hide themselves are
plainly visible Wild birds, especially
game, are also much perturbed at the
sight of the balloon, pheasants growing
loudly and running off, while cartridges
which have been flushed drop like stones
into neighboring hedge row. Sheen
also seem much alarmed, but cattle and
horses appear to take no interest in the

A Woman,s Queer Experience.

Mrs. james Boardman of Port Huron
has had IL strange experience. In 1890
she had some trouble with her husband
and they separated. In March, 1892,
Mr.. Boardman died in Detroit, but his
family was not notified and never heard
of it until a short time ago. In the
meantime Mrs. Boardman had fallen heir
to some money in England, and in order
to receipt for it as required she secured
a divorce in the st. Clair county courts
about two years ago OH the ground of
desertion. Her husband had been a
member of the X. 0. Il. NJ, and Mrs:
Boardman kept up the assessments until
about year ago. When she heard of
her husbands death, which occurred
while he was in good standing in the
Maccabees, she presented a claim for his
insurance money. This was not allowed,
however, on the ground that she was
not his widow, having been divorced
from him. She then applied to the cir
cult court to have the divorce set aside
on the grounds that her husband was
dead when it was granted. Her applica-
ton was granted, and she has now re-
ceiyed the insurance money!

Buttermilk and Poultry.

Buttermilk, skim-milk and curds given
to poultry at this season will prove as
profitable as when these substances are
fed to pigs. When milk is skinned the
cream is removed only. and as cream is

and as it is Of but little value so far

Red Pepper for Poultry.

Red pepper should never be given in
large quantities. The practice of put
ing red pepper in all the soft food should
be discarded. The best effect from it's
use is when it is given once or twice
a week, and half Il grain for each fowl
is sufficient. If given constantly the
is only temporary stimulant and serves
best when the birds are not in full health.
Sulphur should also be given cautiously.
The best regular tonic is the Douglas
mixture in the drinking water. 1t is
cheap, costing about s cents a gallon.
and is composed of one pound of copper
as, two gallons soft water and an ounce
of sulphuric acid, teaspoonful being
added to each quart Of drinking water.
