Glass on the south, east and west of
the poultryhouse is of course necessary
to the health and COMFORT of the fowls.
One can err, however, on the side of
too much glass. 1t is great mistake to
make poultryhonse after the pattern
of greenhouse. 1t won't do at all, for
the change between day and night tenn
perature is far too much. The fowls
will become sick and unproductive. A
window for every six or eight running
feet on the south side with window on
both the east and west sides, will be all
the sash surface necessary. In cold
northern climates l would advise the
use of shutters or double windows or
both. These will keep out any amount
of cold and wind and pay for them
selves n hundred times over.-W. P. Per-
kins, in National Stockman.

Rice Is Good for Fowls.

Rice is said by those who have tried
it, to be the very best of food for fowls,
and that it possesses more fattening
qualities Than corn. In the Carolinas
and the rice growing regions of the
south, rice meal or broken rice can be
purchased from one-fourth to one
half cent per pound, and is largely used
as feed in those sections. Poultry
men within easy reach of the southern
or gulf seaboard can thus get cheap
poultry food at small cost for freight.
Rice will never produce diarrhoea in
fowls or animals like some grains, but
will check it when produced by other
causes. With broken rice, Kaftir corn,
and wheat, we not only have good
ration for chicks, but an ideal food fo'
broilers.-Southern Fancier.

FARM AND GARDEN.
The HENS IN WINTER.
Kind of Treatment which Induces n Good
Egg Supply.

Kind of Treatment which Induces n Good
Egg Supply.
In order TO have good supply of eggs
during the winter it is essential to have
either early-hatched pullets that have
been kept growing and are reasonably
well matured or two-year-old hens that
moulted early, and are in a good thrifty,
condition when winter begins.
Then warm, dry quarters must be
provided. No matter how well fed the
fowls may be, they will not lay well un7
less they are kept comfortable. The
quarters should be roomy, so that when
closely confined, as will be necessary on
cold, stormy days, they will have plenty
of room to exercise.
The roosts should be on a level, not
over three feet from the ground, and
arranged so that they can be taken
down to clean when necessary. When
1t can be done the nests should be in a
separate place, rather darker than the
rest of the house, so that the laying
hens will not be disturbed by the others.
There should be room to feed Them
away from under the roosts. Brood
boards should be provided on which the
soft food can be placed. Have the
quarters dry.
The hens must be regularly and we'll
fed if they are kept in a good laying
condition. Gather up the scraps from
the table, the pairing and the leavings
of the vegetables from the kitchen, put
them into pot that should be kept in
the stove. Usually it will cook sufli-
ciently through the day and can be
warmed up while breakfast is being
cooked. If the quantity is not suffi-
cient add wheat, bran and milk to make
np good feed. Give it warm-not hot
for breakfast, and try to have it ready
as soon as they fly down from the
roosts. Atnoon give whole wheat, oats,
sorghum seed or something of this
kind, changing often enough to make a
good variety.
At night give a good feed of whole
corn just before they go to roost. Wa
ter regularly and keep the drinking ves-
sells clean.
With eggs to sell in winter the hens
will be found profitable.-St. Louis Re
public.

Lieut.. Walter Dehon and myself were

Webster. When we arrived at the scene
of the battle we rode up to the Henry
house. which the rebels were using as
a hospital. There confederate officer,
dressed in the stolen uniform of one of
our officers, stood on the porch and
asked what we wanted. We told him
we had come for the body of Col. Web
ster, as we wanted to bury him. He
then showed us where he had been
buried already. Lieut.. Dehon and my
self then dug up the body with our
hands and then wrapped it in sheet.

n Brave Soldier.

Col. S. Williams commanded the Nine
teenth Indiana. He entered the regi-
ment as a captain and won his promo
ton by a brilliant display of fighting
qualities. Up to the Wilderness battle,
May s, 1864, he had escaped injury.
The night before that battle he said to
a brother officer: "If you write to my
wife within two or three days 1 wish
you would tell her what kind of man
have been in this regiment, as we'll as
what kind of a soldier. Ifyou can think
of some good things to say about me
I wish you would say them, with as
much comfort to her as possible"
"What is the matter, colonel?" asked
his companion. Nothing, nothing at
all; only do as 1 ask you to. know
you will comply with my request" He
was never braver in battle than he was
on that 5th day of May. He was leading
his regiment, not following it, when a
bullet struck him in the head, and there
sank to earth as brave man as ever
fought in an Indiana or any other regi-
ment.-J. A. Watrous, in Chicago Times

To Cure Feather Pulling.

Feather pulling is vice that comes
from confinement and idleness; there is
no remedy, but it may be prevented IN
n measure by so feeding the fowls that
they will be compelled to scratch. 1t
is contagious, to degree if one or two
fowls become addicted they are apt to
teach the others. For this reason, pre-
ventive measures in the way of giving
the fowls something to do should be
adopted, but if any of the hens acquire
the habit, the quicker they are killed
and marketed the better, or soon the
whole flock will be at it, and this means
ruination to all.-Rural World.

WOMAN NEARLY KILLED
A SEGUIN MAN ASSAULTS HUSBAND
AND WIFE.
Result of Non-Interference of Police In
Removing Nuisance from Good
Neighborhood.

Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock q murderous assault was
made upon VIM. Rahmsdorf and
wife, at their cleaning and dyeing
establishment on the corner OF
Houston and Jefferson streets by
A.C. Williams a former deputy
constable and hotel keeper of
Seguin.
The trouble arose over colored
employment office conducted by q
woman named Tiny Williams
who has been complained of un-
successfully to the police a hun
dred times as keeping q disrepu-
table house in the rear of the dye
ing works.
YesterdayNA. 9. Williams visited
the employment office and after
consulting with the Williams
woman came out. Mr.. Rahmsdort
says he passed his place and
cursed him and his wife and in
vited him outside. Rahmsdorf,
after reaching the sidewalk was
suddenly struck by q paving block
in the hands of Williams which
inflicted an ugly scalp wound and
rendered him unconscious for a
few minutes. In the meantime
Mrs. Rahmsdorf rushed out to res
cue her husband and received the
same treatment, including a blow
on the face, it is said, from q pair
of brass knucks, which broke her
nose and terribly disfgured her
face.
Williams was soon after placed
under arrest by Deputy Constable
Chas. Van Ripper and brought be.
fore Justice f. Griff Jones, who
placed his bond at $500 each on
two charges of assault to kill
Rshmsdorf and his wife.
The injured man ard wife were
at once taken to their home at sos
Mason street, where DR.. III. ID. Bar.
nitz examined and dressed their
wounds. This morning the condi.
ton OF Mrs. Rahmsdorf grew
worse and DR.. Barnitz pronounced
her condition critical, as it appears
that her skull is fractured from the
long deep cash over the left ear,
and Mr.. Rahmsdorf was advised
to have the bond of Williams in.
Creased, pending the result Of his
wife's injuries.
