Grateful Wrens.

An Illinois gentleman sends to the
Montreal Herald pretty bird story:
Close to my window, as write this, I
see a Wren's nest. Three years ago I
drove some nails in a sheltered cor
ner; pair of wrens built their nest
there. The old birds often come into
my office and sing. One of them has
repeatedly alighted on my desk as l
have been writing, saying plainly by
his actions, "You won't hurt me, We
are friends A few years since. in a
knot-hole in a dead tree, near path
from my office to my house, lived a
family of wrens, with whom I had
formed very intimate acquaintance.
One day, while was passing in a hur-
ry, heard the two old birds uttering
cries OF fear and anger, and as 1 got
past the tree one of them followed me,
and by it's peculiar motions and cries
induced me to turn back. I examined
the nest and found the young birds all
right, looked into the trees branches,
but saw no enemies there, and started
away. Both birds then followed me
with renewed cries, and when was a
few yards away, they flew in front of
me, futtered moment, and then DART
ed back to the tree. Then one of them
came back to me, futtering and crying,
then darted from me near to the
ground under the tree. I looked. and
there lay rattlesnake coiled ready to
strike. l secured stick and killed
him, the wrens looking on from the
tree; and the moment did So, they
changed their song to a lively, happy
one, seeming to say, THANK your ip
every note.

AIRQUAKE" IN ITALY,

Many Persons Made Homeless in the
Town of Rieti.
Inc earthquake that took place in
the Umbian town of Rieti on the We
limo, in Italy, the other day was ac-
companled by a phenomenon of which
the hrst meager account of the shock
gave no mention. According to cor
respondent of the Osservatore Romano
it was not an earthquake but an "air-
quake. The air shook or vibrated like
violently agitated liquid; great rents
were made in tall buildings and tow
ers, and no shifting of the street pave
ment was noticed. From the bishop
down to the beggar, all seemed fright
ened. 1t is said that many felt the air
vibrations and were thrown to the
ground, while others were almost suffo-
Gated. A dense black cloud hung over
the town while the phenomenon was
passing. The church steeples, the saw
ing bank, the theater and no fewer
than six palaces were more or less
wrecked, as well as eighty or one hun
dred dwellings. Five hundred tents
have been sent to the place by the
government. The people, in the mean
time, are living in hastily built huts
and in the half ruined postofice and
churches. Soldiers have been sent
from Rome to the scene of the disaster,
and they, with the students, are busy
policing the ruins and trying to save
some of the household goods King
Humbert has sent $4,000 francs from
his private purse to relieve the first
necessities of the people. At the time
of the catastrophe slight, earthquake,
like shudder, was felt in Rome. Even
there, too, people say they noticed .

drinking can, or fountain, should
pc SO constructed as to prevent the
chicks from getting their bodies wet,
says Mirror and Farmer. Many de-
signs nave been given, but one plan is
to take tomato can and set the
enc that has been opened on a hot
stove, until the solder around the top
(or rather the end on the stove), be-
comes melted, then, with poker. or
something else, knock off the remain
ing top before it cools. There will
then be a good, smooth edge. Now
make two holes, about one-half inch in
diameter, close to this top edge. Then
take a pressed tin pan with bottom
little larger over than the tomato
can. Fill the can full of water, and
put the pan over this; bottom up. Next,
with one hand on top and one hand on
the bottom, quickly turn the fountain
the other end up. This can be done
without splitting more than a teaspoon
full. The sides of the pan should be
one and one-half inches high and not
more than one-half an inch more
across the bottom than the tomato can.
The faring sides of the pan allow the
chickens and small ducks to get all
the water they should have. This would
also be a good arrangement for pig
cons. Pressed tins are better than SOL
dered ones, as they are not so liable
to rust, and cost only four or five
cents. To make the holes put stick
OF wood in the can, then punch a hole,
and ream it out with a file until large
enough. It is amusing to observe
small ducks try to get into this dish,
as they can get but one foot in at a
time.

How Food Influences Milk.

Prof. H. H. Wing, of Cornell u nj
versity, writing to the Rural New
Yorker, on this subject, says: There is
no doubt that the flavor of milk is
largely Influenced by the food that the
COW eats. Ensilage, corn meal, beets,
clover, turnips, onions, grass, all exert
an influence upon the flavor Of the
milk, varying in intensity under vari-
Gus conditions. The flavor of some
of these foods is always liked, while
a few, and among them ensilage, i'm
part havors that are sometimes OBJ
jected to and sometimes not. This OBJ
lection may or may not be due to an
unreasoning prejudice; it is an impor-
tant commercial factor. If man dis
likes a thing, he will not buy it even
though it's intrinsic value be unim-
paired. do not know that milk
strongly tainted with garlic is not just
as good for food as that most deli
cately favored with the finest grasses,
but it is unstable, and the same
holds with ensilage to those to whom
it is Objectionable. It is not probable
that the ensilage flavor is absorbed by
the milk after it is drawn, if the latter
is removed from the stable while still
warm; but it is possible that the odor
inhaled through the lungs of the ami
NAL may be diffused through the body,
and so reach the milk. If the ensilage
is of good quality, if the barn is kept
reasonably free of the odor, and if the
cows are fed Immediately after milk
ing, the amount of ensilage flavor inn
parted to the milk ought not to be OBJ
jectionable to the reasonable consumer.
That there are unreasonable consumers
is und doubted, but let us hope that they
will either discover reason or have
to pay a good round premium for their
milk.

While she is seven duchesses, behind
the Duchess of Marlborough, she is
said to be the greatest duchess in
England. Her popularity is something
tremendous. AS most will remember,
she was Miss Yorke, and her capture
of the wealthy, good-l looking duke was
one Of the greatest catches ever re-

How to Distinguish Old Hens.


From an article by Mr.. Edward
Brown, F. L. S., renowned author and
authority on poultry matters in Great
Britain, I condense the following:
Fowls should be killed off after they
have completed their second year.
Birds may be marked so as to be easily
distinguished by putting a ring on one
leg when they are pullets. The best
time is when pulets are from five to
SIX moH@hs old. A round india rubber
such as those used for umbrellas, or
a ring of copper or any soft flexible
be put on to fit fairly close, but not
t1gLt enough to injure the leg. An ex-
animation should be made of every
fowl fortnight after the ring has been
put on. In order to distinguish be-
tween the fowls one and two years old,
1T is good plan to put the rings on
The left legs only in one year, and the
rings on the right legs only next year,
and so on in the alternate years. If
the rings are put on the right legs in
1898, then all hens in the flock with
rings on the right legs will be ready
for killing in 1900. If the rings are put
on the left legs in the autumn of 1899,
then those hens will be ready for kill
ing in the autumn of 1901. 1t is desir-
able that written record should De
made of the facts, as the memory is apt
to be faulty. The advantage to the
poultry keeper from marking the fowls
far more than compensates for the
trouble which is involved-Report Of

Transporting sleep! And what a glo-

sometimes been thoroughly bewildered
after long and fatiguing journey; we
nave stopped at a friend house for the
night, and after hours Of complete I'M
consciousness we have opened our eyes,
the hlgh-risen sun full in our faces,
and before we could fully collect our
faculties, have said: Where am +;
whose house is this, and whose are

And I should not wonder if, after we
have served our generation, and by the

deep sleep, the restful sleep, we should
awaken in blissful bewilderment, and

What palace is this? Why, this looks
like heaven! 1t is; it is. Why, there

lined with foliage more beautiful than
anything I ever saw before, and see
those who are walking down those

heard of them, those two arm and arm
must be Moses and Joshua, him Of
Mount Sinai and him of the hating sun
over Gideon. And those two walking
arm in arm must be John and Paul,
the one so gentle and the other so

But I must not look any longer at

this building in which I have just
awakened. I look out of the window

Expanding Too Fast.

Farmers that are able to make a
good thing out OF few chickens should
be careful not to be carried away by
their success. It sometimes happens
that man that has been able to ac-
complish great things with dozen
fowls thinks he can do the same with

ingly. The result too frequently proves
MIN TO have been mistaken. Such a
man would do better to go slow. From
twelve fowls increase the number to
twenty-five and from twenty-fi TO
fifty This will enable him to watch
the progress of events and be sure that
he does not get beyond his depth. The
problems that surround the keeping of
small flock are entirely different from
those surrounding a large flock.
