HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Milk in any form is good food for
hens.
New corn is apt to produce looseness
of bowels.
Corn is a poor food for young stock
of any kind.
Any sudden change of diet is sure TO
make trouble.
Cold, dark henhouses are inconsist-
ent with good laying.
Chopped clover sprinkled with bran
is excellent for fowls.
For colts, calves and pigs combine
ton of bran, oats and oil meal is always
excellent.
The Wensleydale, a long-wooled sheep
somewhat resembling the Lincoln, is
the latest English breed TO be intro
duced into the United States.
Straw may be fed even to mich cows
profitably when other feed is scarce by
cutting it into short lengths, wetting it
and mixing it with meal, bran or mid
dlings-N. Y. World.

lie was reading a newspaper in a
Broadway car. After awhile he folded
it up and said to the man on his left:
do you think that the principles of
grayitation will ever be overcome SO
as to enable any sort of a machine to
fy?"
"No, SIR" was the brusque answer.
"But why not?"
NO need of it."
do you understand the laws OF
grayity?"
Il do. sir. Plainest thing in the
world, sir. All street car nuisance has
to do is to go out on the platform and
step out into space. Gravity will land
him on the earth. Try it, sir--try it."
The inquiring man looked at him
with sorrow expressed on every line OF
his face and then turned away and took
a seat at the other end Of the car.--De-

Went Three Weeks without Food with
No Serious Result.
Mr.. Gely, a farm superintendent at
Dampierre, in the department of the
upper Soane, has a dog named Rigolet,
which, although past ten Years old.
and almost toothless, has never abated
the actibity of his warfare against all
the animals of the field, and especially
against foxes. A short time ago MIR.
Gely, with his dog, was passing the
mouth of fox hurrow. Rigolet made
hurrow, showing plainly that it was
inhabited Ut had so spacious an open
ing that the dog forced himsel into it
quite out of sight. Presently the mas
ter heard the tumult of combat with
in.
The dog was barking fiercely. Then
there came a sound of caving-in, and
the noise ceased. Either Rigolet had
been silenced by the fox or he had been
cngulfed by the collapse of a gallery in
which the fight was taking place. Mr..
Gely set about digging him out, but
found the ground SO stony that he was
obliged to give it up, and the old dog
was left to his fate. Gely went home,
and, after mourning the dog a few
days, thought of him no more.
Twenty-one days went by. 1t hap
pened that the miller of the neighbor-
hood, passing the fox burrow with a
friend, said: There's the place where
poor old Rigelot was buried alive"
Just then he heard feeble whining,
which seemed to come from under
ground. He called and listened, and
the whining was certainly dog with
in the fox burrow. The miller ran to
apprise Gely, who this time brought
picks and shovels and sufficient num-
Der of hands to open the burrow. After
five hours of active digging the old dog
was unearthed at considerable depth.
As soon as he was brought to the open
air Rigolet fell TO hte ground, appar-
emily dead. But his master succeeded
in reviving him with doses of beef tea
and milk, and the old dog was again
seemingly as GOOD as ever. 1t became
a question whether he had tasted in the
burrow for % days or whether he had
subsisted on the fox, which he certain
lv found ]. was assumed by his mas
ter that he was too nearly toothless to
have been able TO devour a fox; and
those who dug him out declare that
there was no sign that he had anything
to eat.-London Public Opinion.
