FIG. l.

will permit the droppings rolling off.
Or the top ridge may be constructed
with sharp spikes projecting upwards,
and thus prevent the birds from roost-
ing upon it.
Inside the box, starting from the
front edge, where the bottom of the lid
rests. is placed board of the width Of
the inside of the box, slanting sufi-
GENTLY to carry its bottom ont two or
three inches from the front side of the
inner part of the hopper, and termin-
ating within about an inch of the bot
tom. When it is united in place, the
grain runs out beneath its lower edge
as rapidly as the pigeons eat the food.
The diagram Zig. 9)will perhaps make
this description clearer. A b is the
bottom of the hopper, D the top,
hinged at c. A D is the front, and G
the opening at which the pigeons feed.
E f is the slanting board inside the
hopper, the grain passing out under T
into the space between f and A. The
grain is poured into the hopper by lift
ing the lid, c D.
Eighteen inches is a very good height
for a hopper. If one is made for hun
dred birds it should be long enough to
have at least ten or twelve openings,
each one at least four inches distant
from any other. This would make the
dimensions say four or five feet long,
twelve inches wide and eighteen inches
high. Several smaller ones can be
used instead of one large one, and we
believe this is the better plan, for they
are more readily emptied out should
this be necessary.
Mice sometimes get into the grain
and give it flavor which is distaste-
full to the pigeons. To prevent this,
the hopper is sometimes placed on a
table in the middle of the loft, the
table itself being supported by a single
smooth metal leg which prevents the
mice from reaching the grain.
1t scarcely seems necessary to urge
the Importance of keeping the hopper
filed, but it is fact that many neg
lect this, because the supply given will
last some days. After little time one
can get acquainted with the time the
supply of grain will last and can then
fix certain definite days for the filing
of the hopper. By observing these set
times the supply will be constant and
the birds will not lack for food.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

WHEAT is cheap-better buy it in
stead of screenings.
BUCKwHEAT and millet are cheap, but
the chickens like them.
COOP care is better than trusting to
good luck with chickens.
ALLOW four square feet of floor room
for each fowl in your poultry house.
CLovERHEADs or cut clover for the
fowls should be placed where they will
not be fouled or wasted.
A PIECE Of burlap sacking tackled over
the roosts and kept soaked with kero-
sene will keep the lice away.
CABBAGE and turnips make a good
feed for the fowls during the winter
season. The fowls like a variety.
GIVE ducks plenty of litter-straw,
hay or leaves to ''roost" upon, and do
not compel them to set their bed under
the hens roosts.
DRY-PICKED poultry sells the best.
When picked let it lie till the animal
heat is all out then pack firmly in clean
barrels or boxes.
CLEAR out ali cockerels that are not
needed for breeding purposes; they are
better in the potpie than the hen yard
at this season of the year.
For winter eggs keep pullets or
young hens, give them a warm house,
exercise, plenty of green food, meat
and grit in addition to grain and pure
water.
WITH a daily demand for 45,OOO,00C
eggs in the United States, and an i'm
portation Of over $4,000 dozens from
Europe each week, it will certainly pay
to give the poultry a little extra care.

Plan of n Hopper Suitable for About
One Hundred Birds.
1t is very convenient way to feed
pigeons from a hopper. The birds,
especially if allowed to fly at large,
and thus obtain abundant exercise, do
well. Whether it is the best plan is
open to question, but it is plan gen
orally pursued by pigeon-keepers.
A hopper consists of narrow box,
say about a foot wide, with openings
in front for the pigeons to feed from.
These openings are usually about three
inches wide and five or six high, square
at the bottom and rounded at the top.
The following rough sketch Gig. y
will give an idea of the front of the
hopper:
The back of the hopper should be
considerably higher than the front, so
that the top, which is hinged as lid,

RedomesticatfOn of the Elephant.

The European elephant herd" is. gen orally spVaking, tho property of the large circus owners, and these prefer the Indian elephant, which they allcgc to be moro doc ilc and moro rCliablc for their purposes, than tho African species. The trainers say that tho latter havc bad memories, and that this makes them uncertain performers In the ring.
 It has been recently pointed out that this lack of memory, or perhaps of brain power, in the African, when compared with tho Indian species, may possibly be accounted for by the descent of the former from the mastudon, an earlier extinct type than tho mammoth. The teeth of the Al rican elephant correspond with those of the mastodun, while in the Indian ele- phant they arc analogous to those of the moro rccrnt mammoth.

One Chicago Millionaire.

To see him at the race track. for in- stance, leaning against the fence watch ing the animals come out for the pre- liminary canter, no one would suspect that he owned the favorite and a whole stable full of other cracker jacks, and that he had several thousand dollars at stake.
 If some nervous man who had just played $5 on the favorite should ask him what he thought of the chance of winning. he would merely chuckle and say. "Y' can't tell thing about it. "
 His clothes arc so plain, and he has such a farmerish way Cs whittling or else chewing at straws. that he is over looked in the ordinary assemblage or mistaken for some humble parsonage.
 In his business office he does not oc' cupy a separate apartment, the door of which Is guarded by private secretary.
