Deadly Pure water.

AS visitors to 1Wildbad- Gastein. may
remember, there is a spring at that wa
tering place which enjoys the unenvi-
able title of s'The Poisoned Fountain"
Though the fluid it supplies is clear and
sparkling, and science can detect in it
neither microbes nor deleterious miner
ais, the effects produced on rash or ig-
norant drinkers are highly unpleasant.
A few drafts produce decided symp-
toms of gastric catarrh, and further in
diligence may lead to serious ill
ness, and even to death. Prof. Koeppe
has now; vouchsafed the explana ton,
that the water is dangerous simply be-
cause it is too pure. Unless previously
saturated to a certain point with min.
eral, or organic matter, water attracts
to itself the salts contained in the cells
iof the mucous membrane, and this lat
ter suffers deterioration, resulting in
infammatory mischief. This is why it
is unsafe to drink the rills that trickle
from a snowfeld or q glacier london

Breeding from One Strain.

It is well known that the best mode
Of preserving the beauty of plumage,
and retaining the points of excellence,
is by inbreeding. But this can be done
in a way so as not to be too severe. The
aim should be to breed from one family.
If new blood is to be introduced let it
be done by selecting hen rom some
other yard, and mate her with the best
cock you have, keeping the young cock
erels OF the union only, and disposing of
the pullets from the same, but do not
make any change of blood in thepu!lets
of the strain kept. BY this mode the
blood of the cocks is partially changed
every season; thus permitting Of sys-
tenn of in-breeding that may be con-
tinued for several years. = American

CHICKEN LANGUAGE.
The Cries of the Feathered Folk Are
Said to De Conprehensiblet to
Human BeinEs. #s5

Chickens speak in language that
human ears learn readily to compre-
kend. For the most part it is instinc-
tive. A fuzzy fodder six hours out
Ct the shell has five distinct calls. The
first and loudest of them is the lost
note, uttered when it loses sight of
it's mother or finds itself out in the
cold. 1t is loud and very shrill: Pee
ee-op! Pee-ee-ee-op! Pee-eee-op!"
The second, the hunger note, is as
shrill, but more plaintive, running
somewhat thus: "Yeap! Yeeap! Yee-.
eeap!" AS soon as eating begins it
changes to a sort of satisfied chitter-
ing: "Wit-wit! Wit-wit! Wit-wit-
weet!" After eating the chicks grow
sleepy, and cry to be covered. The
note is somewhat like that of hunger,
with peculiar tremolo, breaking it in
the middle: "Yee-pl-leepl! Yee-pl-lee-
pl!" does not fully represent it, but
comes as near as the limitations of
vowels and consonants admit. The
fifth note, the chir-r-r of fright or as
tonishment, is the quaintest of all.
This chir-r develops at last in the graf
ing call of warning, at sound of which
from their mother even the youngest
scatter and scutter to cover. Any
thing, a bird, a kite, even very small
passing cloud, sailing in the sky over
head, will evoke this warning cry. Let
one hen sound it, every other will take
it up. Often the alarm is false one,
but centuries of hawks have impressed
upon each feathered mind that danger
cometh out of the air" and they govern
themselves accordingly.
Everybody knows how hens cluck to
their broods, but it may be news to
many that though hundred hens may
be clucking in the same Enclosure, the
voice Of each will be individual and I'M
mistakable to her immediate family.
A chick just out of the nest may not be
able to discriminate, but let it follow
for day and it is past making mis-
takes. Even more wonderful is the
hens ability to differentiate her brood
from all the rest.
Upon finding food hen calls her
chicks somewhat thus: ''Co-cu-co-cu-
Su-Cu-CC! AnC IOOSlcI Calls HIS WIVES
about him to share in some dainty with
nearly the same notes, but deeper and
more resonant in the beginning and
running at the end into high treble.
There is something clownish in his
cackle. He cackles only to express a
panied establishment, or else by way
of chorusing the hens, with whom,
cackling is favorite diversion, quite
independent of the matter of egg-lay-
ing. A rooster, especially gamecock
or one OF Spanish breed, has wonder
full variety of crows. BY means of
them, indeed, he runs the whole gamut
of expression-hope, fear. defiance. tri-
umph, love, hate, rage, vanity and a
fine, ineffable conceit.
It is the hens without families,
though, that are the true barnyard
gossips. Any fine day, outside mott
ing time, you may see them standing
in groups, their heads close together,
chuckling and chattering like so many
blackbirds, or else wallowing in light
earth, pecking lightly as they scratch
and wallow, and evidently finding it
good sport to throw dust well over each
other.-N. Y. Sun. tu.

Z FATTEN1NG CHICKS.
II Right Methods Are Pursued This IL
an Easier Task Than IL Gen-
orally Supposed.

Poultry raisers who make a business
of selling young chickens cannot do
better than to study some of the meth
DDS which swine and cattle raisers
adopt in preparing their animals for
market. A fat chicken is always de-
sirable. and full, plump body and
limbs will go long way toward finding
a customer. Mos. of the chickens sent
to market are lean and lanky. 1t is
said that it is hard work to fatten a
young chicken, If the right methods
are observed it will be found an easy
matter. A young chicken is prone to
run around a good deal, and her nervous
activity is apt to run off all fat But
three or four weeks before it is time
to market the chickens confine them in
narrow Enclosures where they cannot
run around much. Keep out all roost-
ers or fighting, chickens, for worry is
sure to keep them thin. Only few
should be kept in each Enclosure. The
pen should be good one from every
point of view It should have shady
run and a sunny side SO that the chick
ems can suit themselves little. Prefer
ably it should have some green growing
grass or shrubbery. This helps to make
life more pleasant and agreeable to the
chickens. Everything to make their
quarters comfortable should be added.
Now give them clean, fresh water
once or twice a day, and all the fat
tening food they can eat. Muscle and
bone-making food are not required.
These can be eliminated entirely. Corn
in various forms should be fed freely
to them. Cooked corn, mashed and
ground cora, the whole corn should be
fed every day. Warm potatoes and
bread crumbs will also make fat. Any
kind Of milk and little sugar will
help along the fattening process. The
process must be hurried along as fast
as possible, for during these days the
chickens will eat considerable, and if
they do not lay on fat every day it
will be a losing operation. In the end,
however, good returns should be made
for all this trouble and expense. for
the chickens will sell quicker in the
market, weigh more, and generally
bring the top prices.-Western Plow-
man.
