ApOplexy.

During the extremely warm
days it is not unusual to find a
aen dead uader the roost from
cause. 1t is seldom
that this happens to pullets or
? growing chicks, but mostly with
hens. 1t is caused by high feed
ing, and especially when grain is
! allowed I'm summer. 1t cannot
oeapp;vented after tho fowls are
~. except by shutting off the
food and allowing plenty of fresh
water, cool, shady location be-
ing also provided. 1t is some
times the case that the healthiest
Aens are the ones that die sud
denly, as apoplexy does its work
quickly and without warning.
~Over-feeding is mostly done with
soft food. 1t is placed in a
trough, and the fowls are allowed
rto Ehelp themselves, the conse-
sruences being that some get
rmore than their share while 9th
ers get much less, the fortunate
ones becoming fat and lazy, and
all of them reaching the same
condition later. Soft food should
mot be considered as a meal, but
only part thereof, hence the
fowls should never be given
more than one half the quality
J4hey would eat.-Poultry Keeper

A Years Feed.

Those who desire to know how
much food a flock of hens will
require in a year may be inte-
rested by the statement that the
poultry manager of the Canada
Experiment Farm kept an accu-
rate account of what he fed out
TO a flock of fifty hens, mixed and
thoroughbreds, in one year
1852 pounds of wheat, 244 pounds
gof oats, 2S1 pounds of barley, 440
pounds of ground grains in
mash, or 1867 pounds of grain at
4 cent pound. They also had
244 pounds of cut green bone, at
the same price. 364 pounds cook
ed refuse meat at 1zcts. a pound,
and 8 pounds and z ounces
blood meat at 4 cts. a pound.
They also were given vegetables

EXPRESS CHARGES
On POultry-Use Nothing but
Wood on Your Coop.

A coop made of wood stats, sol
id and firm, lined inside by tack
ing on canvas, containing FIVE
birds, weighing only forty-seven
pounds, and billed from the place
of shipment with S1.25 charges,
was received in Indianapolis, it's
destination. After it's arrival,
the agent at Indianapolis doubled
the rate and collected $3.50 ex-
press charges.
On inquiries at the office of the
express company, we were in
formed that the canvas in the
coop caused the doubling of the
rate and they gave us copy of
their instructions from the COM
pany, viz:
IF cloth covering is used, will
be double merchandise rate. Use
nothing but wood in your COOP
This is distinction without a
difference, but as long as cloth
gives them an excuse for doub-
ling the rate, although it does
nothing toward strengthening or
supporting the coop itself, still
they take advantage of it. Hence
it is we'll for those who ship
birds from one point to another
to make their coops wholly of
wood, and thus secure one or
merchandise rate, otherwise, the
chances are that the consignee
will be compelled to pay double
rate" We have looked into this
case carefully and therefore give
this advice intelligently, and find
that the companies instructions
to their employees are so gen.
1
eral that any cranky express
hand, who bills or receives the
goods, can charge double rates
if cloth is used in the construc-
ton of the coop, even to the lin
ing of the same to keep out
frosts or to prevent them from
putting their heads out, as in this
instance, the cloth only served
for such purpose, and there is no
show for correcting the same SO
long as the cloth is there to sus'
tain the charges.-Fanciers GA

RLlNED BY A ROOSTER.
How a Dog Became a Drunkard
by Force of Bad Example.

A peculiar instance of what
bad example will do is illustrated
in the cases of rooster and a
dog owned by keeper of SUI
burban road house. The man
had run a saloon in this city for
a number of years, but being
possessed of fondness for coun-
try life he recently decided to
CRAFTY his tastes, and he opened
a road-house not far from High
Bridge. He was fond of hens
and one of the first things he did
was to get a mum Der of them. In
the bevy was big rooster, and
it wasn't long before the former
saloon keeper noticed that the
rooster was frequently in the
bar-room. He soon discovered
that the attraction for the bird
was one of the regular custom
ers. Every time this customer
came in he would soak scraps of
bread in beer and throw them to
the rooster, which devoured them
with apparent relish. AS the
man made mum Der of trips to
the bar each day, it soon fell out
that the rooster was invariably
tipsy by evening. In this condi-
ton the rooster would perform
all kinds of antics, much to the
amusement of a crowd of loung-
ers.
But here is where the bad ex-
ample part of the story comes in.
The saloon keeper has a New
foundland dog of which he is es-
pecially fond. For six years the
dog had been around the city sa-
loon without showing the slight
est liking for intoxicants. AS
soon, however, as the dog saw
the means by which the rooster
became so hilarious he began to
devote attention to the drip pans
under the beer kegs, the dregs
in which he greedily drank. In
a short time the dog had the
"beer habit" too. This greatly |
annoyed the road-house keeper,
and in his wrath he decided to
kill the rooster, hoping that by |
doing away with the ''evil influ-
ence," as he put it, the dog would
reform. But it was of no use,
and now the dog has become an
inveterate topper, and may be
seen daily staggering about the
bar-room a sad example Of canine
depravity.-New York Sun.

all of whom belonged to the Griffin fac
tion, were killed in yesterdays fight Three

Philpot. He was taking Philpots bond,
when Aaron Morris and the Grifiins, who
seemingly had been following the Phil
pots, came up on horseback from a by
road.
Robert Philpot was signing the bond
when Morris, taking deliberate aim with a
Winchester, shot him in the back while
he was in a STOPPING posture. Peter Phil
pot, who stood on a wagon nearby, sent
a bullet into Morris head, tearing off The
top of it, but Morris did not fall from his
saddle until two other shots had passed
through his body
The firing then became general, and did
not cease until every man was dead or
wounded, except Peter Philpot. who was
not hurt. When ii was ended Aaron
Morris, William Griffin aud Green Griffin
were found to have been killed Ed
Fisher, Hugh Griffin and Robert Philpot
were fatally wounded, while Alex Fisher

Southampton, Juy lS-There was much
excitement in the Soleut over the Brit
annia-Shamrock race. From early morn
ing crowds watched the preparations on
board both yachts, while the whole fleet
from Southampton, .Cowes and other
points made for Ryde. The scene at Ryde
pier was most animated. Long before
the start crowds of fashionable visitors
had arrived.
The Prince Of Wales arrived at South
ampton at II o'clock wearing a yachting
suit, aud Immediately embarked on board
the admiralty yacht Fire Queen. Later
he boarded the Britannia
AS the starting gun doomed, the Brit
ANNA Immediately crossed the line, the
Shamrock following in way to give the
impression that she had no objection TO
giving the Britannia a slight lead The
latter, however, did not long maintain the
advantage.
1t was a dead beat to windward, and lit
tie distance was covered before the Sham
rock which started on the short leg to
port, overhaued her, and on the following
long leg to starboard the Shamrock forg-
ed ahead rapidly. 1t was at once noticed
that she was sailing nearly half a point
nearer the wind than the Britannia. The
Shamrock was carrying her mainsail, ilb-
headed. topsaii, jib and foresail. The
Britannia carried the same canvas, but In
addition her club topsail
Hogarth was at the helm OF the chal-
lenger. The boat held up admirably. and
there was not a drop of water on deck
She proved extremely quick in putting
about, taking only ten and one-half sec

yachts set their spinnakers for the run
back.
The only mishap OF the day was that
when the Shamrocks sail began to fill.
The top then caught in the cross trees.
The huge canvas Topped fiat and then
suddenly burst like a balloon, big rent
becoming visible in the upper part where
a long strip had been torn out leaving a
hole big enough for a man to crawl
through, The Shamrock's speed naturally
suffered somewhat from the accident
The course sailed was about forty
miles. Both yachts were admirably
handled, but the Shamrock had clear
advantage throughout She gained at
every tack to Windward. The corrected
times at the finish were: Shamrock,
