ist to a group of listeners, was an
army of ants marching through a South
American jungle. l had been out all
day hunting butterflies with a native
guide, and, almost overcome by the in
tense heat, had stretched myself out
beneath a great mass of vines which
hung from a large tree, when l noticed
d column of ants moving along at my
feet.
There was nothing remarkable i'll
this, as it was an ant country, where
they literally overran everything; but
these ants, as though recognizing the
tropical heat, each bore a highly-col-
cred umbrella in such position that
il was more or less a shield and pro-
lection. The umbrella was a bit OF
leaf that had been carefully bitten out
in a semi-oval shape, and was an UNI

they never found anyone. Then ter

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 a great mistake to
make poultryhoHse after the pattern
of a 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 a window on
both the east and west sides, will be all
the sash surface necessary. In cold
northern climates | 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 a hundred times over.-W. P. Per-

-marvels of constructive ability"
Among the marine animals are many
that construct over and above them
selves coverings which might not inapt-
ly be termed umbrellas. This is par
ticularly noticeable in the sea anem-
ones. At times they are free and
unencumbered with foreign objects;
at others they are completely covered
with plates of sand, which they take

lection or covering.
When the anemones desire to assume
these countless umbrellas, they bend
over their tentacles and touch the
ground, many bits of shell and sand ad-
herring. These are lifted up and placed
upon the sides of the creature until It
finally appears to be covered with a
mosaic, which, whilea protection, serves
as a disguise, making the otherwise
conspicuous animal resemble the rocks

distributing them over its body in such
number that collectively they form an
umbrella-lille covering, would appear
mystery, which, however, is solved
upon an examination of the urchin.
The spines are not the only organs. but
from among them rise two suckers
with little disks attached to them, and
other organs that have long stalks upon
the end or top of which is perched l
little feeler with three biting teeth.
These feelers, stationed on the lower
part of the urchin, pick up particles OF
shell and sand, and pass them to others
higher up, and so, by continued pass
ing, the piece of shell travels up to the
dome of the animal, and there finds a
place among the spines. This is repeat.

esthetic.-C. E. Holder, in Chicago In

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-fourths 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 a 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, Kaf1ir corn,
and wheat, we not only have a good
ration for chicks, but an ideal food TO,
hroilers.-Southern Fancier.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE HENS IN WINTER.
Kind of Treatment Which Induces a Good
Egg Supply.

Kind of Treatment Which Induces a 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 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
it 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 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 suf1i-
GENTLY through the day and can be
warmed up while breakfast is being
cooked. If the quantity is not suffi-
Gent add wheat, bran and milk to make
up good feed. Give it warm-not hot
for breakfast and try to have it ready
as soon as they fly down from the
roosts. AT moon 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 YES
sells clean.
With eggs to sell in winter the hens
will be found proftable.-St. Louis Re-
public.

trunk and gave it sudden pull. The
cnragcd hippopotamus lifted its pom
derous head clear of the water and
snCrted and blew, but every time he
rose to take breath the elephant would
1eccmmence his antics. Around ard
around the beast would go, keeping
a sharp lookout for the little ears of
the hippopotamus, which he would
seize the moment they appeared. His
evident delight in teasing i his huge
neighbor was very comical, and there
could be no doubt that he thoroughly
enjoyed it.
Again, one day, the keeper placed
some food for the hippopotamus in a
corner of the inclosure and at once
the hippopotamus began to leave the
wafer to get it, but the elephant slowly
ambled to the same corner, and, arriv-
ing there first, he placed his four feet
over the favorite food in such a way
that the hippopotamus could not get
at it, gently swayed his trunk back and
forth, and acted altogether as though
he were there quite accidentally. until
the garden was thrown open to the
public and he went forward to receive
the daily contributions of bread, cake,
pie, etc, which were always offered him
by his host of admirers.

Making a Hole in Glass.

Everybody who has tried under
stands how difficult it is to bore hole
in strip or sheet of thin glass. The
following method is said to be success
full: Press a cake of wet clay upon
the glass and then make hole through
the clay of the desired size, laying
bare the glass at the bottom of the
hole. Then pour melted lead into the
hole, and it will drop through tie
glass, making round aperture. The
explanation is that the sudden applica-
ton of heat cracks the glass in circle
