A FUNNY SIGHT.

The Rockingham Index, edited bE
Mr.. a. s. Dockery, a son Of Col. o. ii.
DockeTy, referring to the fight between
his father and Judge Russell for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination,
says:
To non-partisan eye, like ours, it
looks like Dockery is going TO be the
winner.
This is the funniest thing of the
year When it is recalled that the
whole Dockery family, and there are
several of them, are moving heaven
and earth to have the old man nomi-
mated, we can imagine that young
Dockery can view the situation with
a ''non-paTtisan eye"

Rindernest in Africa.

London Live Stock Journal says:
According to Reuters telegram 1t has
been computed that 10000 head Of cat
tie died of rinderpest at Setlagoi, in
the southern part Of the Mafeking dis
trict, in South Africa, during Septem-
Der. The government are making
every effort to prevent the rinderpest
from crossing the Orange river, and
are sending $50 police to assist the
burghers in patrolling the river This
dire plague appeared on the east coast
Of Africa in the end of 1889 opposite
Alden, the infection having been, 1t Is
supposed, imported direct from the
Asiatic continent but short distance
off. In 1890 it had reached Uganda,
and by September, 1891, in the far heart
of Africa at Kavilli, says Captain Luz
gard, in his well-known work, THE
Rise of our East African Empire" 1t
had swept off every OK" He remarks
that had ordinary precautions been
taken at the first point of contact with
the infection-such precautions as "civ-
ilized veterinary science would have
prescribed" - the vast destruction Of
the sole wealth of millions of human
beings and the terrible starvation and
mortality among the pastoral tribes Of
the invaded districts Of Africa would
have been avoided. Having now reached
the district of Mafeking. just on the
boundary of the Transyaal Republic
and British Deehdanaland. itssoutnern
progress towards the Orange river is
much to be dreaded. We much lament
the gloomy forecast, and can only adj
wise our many friends among breeders
in Cape Colony to bestir themselves in
face of the coming enemy, and to deal
with him ruthlossly without counting
the cost. a, heavy present loss will
prove to be future gain.

o the question as to the value II
the various nutriments, Prof. Armsby
says that Their eQuivalency has been
assumed and made the basis Of the cal
culation of rations, simply because, in
the lack Of all evidence. this was the
only practicable method. 1t is quite
probable that this assumption does not
involve any very great error, except,
perhaps, in the case OF cellulose; but
the actual comparative value of these
substances can be determined only
when we know, first, how much latent
energy Is liberated during digestion.
The study of this subject can
hardly be said to have begun, and the
only object in mentioning it here is to
show how provisional are our present
methods Of estimating the value OF fod-
ders, and to guard the reader against
the error Of considering them final and
conclusive. They are OF great value,
and have rendered very important SER
vice. It Is certain that they are not
grossly erroneous. At the same time
no good and much harm may come
from an intelligent over-estimate Of
their accuracy and value" The powers
Of digestion and assimilation may be

Hen ROosts.

A writer in an exchange says: Seeing
a farmer near me building hen house,
took occasion to give him new idea.
He was putting in his roosts in the old
fashioned way, one being above the
other on an angle of about As degrees.
In this way the fowls are led to attempt
to get upon the highest roOst, and, as it
gets full, the weak ones are crowded
off and fall to the ground; they begin
again to climb up, only to repeat the
same performance, until 1t gets so dark
they stop climbing, resting content up
on the lower roost, or even upon the
ground under the roosts. In the morn
ing the fowls will not go down as they
went up, from one roost to another, but
fly from the roost to the ground, this
way, and by falling from the roost to
the ground at night, heavy fowls, espe-
cially when very fat or very full Of
eggs, are often crippled in the legs or
otherwise injured Many likely hens I
have seen completely spoiled in this
way. l told him should build all the
roosts all of the same height, and no
more than two and half feet from the
floor, putting about Is inches apart. Be-
fore l left I had the satisfaction Of see
ing him commence to undo the work
he had done and to build his roosts as
1 suggested, and Of hearing an old
farmer who was present declare his in
tention of taking out his roosts, which
were on the ladder style, and putting in
new ones, level and lower. think they
will save hens enough before snnalner
by so doing toauaore rIlan pay tOf inc
labor 1t will take.

Census of Farm Animals.

The department of agriculture has
issued a document showing the in
crease in the number Of farm animals
In the country and the value Of their
products; also, as nearly as may be
obtained, the number of such animals
in the world. eBtween 1892 and 1896
the number of horses in all countries
increased only 259, 453, being the pres
ent year 27,254,553. But in the
United States there has been a net
loss of over a million. OF mules and
asses there has been a decrease Of 49,
600 and an increase of 1922 The
worlds record Of increase in cattle was
1882, 17S, but they were all outside
this country, where there was a loss
Of 27S,OOO in mich COWS, and 3,870,0O0
In other cattle. In the United States
there was a decrease Of 3,250,000 in
swine, though an increase Of nearly
100000 in other countries. There
has been a decrease of 23,458,355 in
sheep the world over, of which nearly
two-fifths belong to the United States.

Hen and Horse Fight.

A Dexter gentleman claims to have
seen a battle between horse and a
hen recently, says an exchange. More
oddly matched contestants can scarcely
be thought of. Into neighbours or
ohard, where a horse, was feeding, an
old hen led hor flock Of chicks. Just
what began the fuss the gentleman did
not see, but probably the chicks made
themselves too familiar with the horses
feet. The horse began kicking at the
old hen with all its might, and with
the prospect that If he could only hit
her once poultry would take a sudden
rise in her vicinity. The pluck of the
zen was something wonderful. The
chicks scudded out Of the way, but the
mother Auffed out her feathers, ran her
neck out straight before her, and dart
ed for the horses heels whenever they
struck the ground. She pecked vicious
IL at them, but the odds were against
bsr, as the heels were pretty sure to be
nj sing by the time she got a blow
viii aimed. The horse labored under
tHe same difficulty. He would back for
CAV hen and take aim at her,and she
would change base before the cyclone
stuck. For much fuss and effort and
litf7e effect the battle furnished an
unique spectacle. Both sides quieted
down after a time, anG tne old hen
matched OF with her chicks, clucklng
yociferously, which was doubtless her
way Of impresslng them with the fact
that she was not afraid Of the big
gezb horse In Trotterdom."

bone and feathers at the same time. For
these reasons they require good sup
ply Of varied and nourishing diet.
In winter green food Of some nature
is necessary for egg production. Any
kind Of vegetables can be served for
the purpose, II the flock can have
access to a field Of growing rye or
crimson clover 1t will meet their re-
QuIrements. When fattening fowls for
market corn can be used In varied
forms. They relish cold mush. Mix
ing cornmeal with scalding water, or
boiling the whole grain until soft, are
all good. Celery tops are the best Vege-
table adjunct at this time.
It has been demonstrated that II one
flock, during the winter, be fed with
warm grains, and another with cold,
that the former will produce during
the season more than twice the num-
Der Of eggs as the other, and will be
even much finer in appearance. There
are two extremes. You cannot let
your poultry roost in trees in winter,
nor can you shut them UP in over
crowded houses, and then expect sue
cess. Success does not lie on either OF
these routes.
Do not lose time in grading up when
you can buy pure bred fowls as cheaply
as now. Neither is 1t we'll to keep the
hens longer than the second year. Save
enough young pullets that the mothers
may be finished up for market. The
hens kept for the producing Of future
stock should be Of the best. 1t Is un-
wise to use eggs for Matching unless
these eggs are from certain hens,
which are known to be not only pro-
life, but have shown themselves capa-
BILE Of producing hardy, strong and Wig
orous offspring. In short, breeders
should be tested, just as with any other
stock. So long as the poultryman uses
eggs from the general basket for incu-
baton, instead of from few OF his
best hens, kept apart from the others,
he will make no Roadway. The progeny
may be better or inferior. 1t will be a
matter of guess-work; but If care is
taken 1t will be but one or two genera
lions until marked difference for the
better will be noticed.
