Manchester, May 27.--Services in St Bridget's Roman Catholic church were interrupted last evening by startling incident. The decorations on a side altar caught fire from one of the can- dies. It was only small blaze but in putting it out the sleeves of Rev Fred J. Murphys vestments caught fire. The congregation was on it's feet in an in- stant and some of the women scream ed. Father Murphy retained his self possession and with the aid of two or three men who hurried to the altar rail tore off the burning garment. No dam- age was done.

POULTRY
what a Well known IIIinois Farmer
Has to Say About poultry ON
the Dairy Farm"

AT the meeting of the Illinois Dairy
Aurora, F. NJ. Munger. of De Kalb. H.,
read a paper with the above tit,c.
What he had to say would apply
equally as well to poultry on any
farm as that kept on one where dairy
ing is the leading feature.
Speaking of the things needed to
make poultry pay, he said the first
thing was: Do not feed the hens too
heavily or make it too easy for them
to get their food. Make them scratch,
and six inches of straw is none too
little depth in which to scatter their
feed.
warm poultry house. If the house
ear be made warm in no other way
bank it up with straw. Have the
house large enough as well as warm,
for poultry to do well must have
room and warmth.
Suppose you wish a house for so
hens. build it 9x20 feet ground space;
have the sills and top plates of 2x4
stuff, use 12-feet boards cut in two,
the feet lengths for the front
or south side, the ive-feet lengths for
the back or north side. The same
length boards viii cut without waste
for the ends. Ten-feet boards will do
first rate for the roof if covered with
good tarred paper nicely put on.
Have a ceiling of cheap boards cov-
cred with tarred paper to add
warmth. Have the location dry and
give the full floor space to the fowls,
arranging the nests and perches and
shelf for droppings as suits your
fancy to secure this. Run a six-inch
or foot partition through the middle
of the building next to the floor to
make a scratching-room.
No need of the whole south side be-
ing of glass, as vas once the idea.
Have the building tight so there are
no drafts. A shelter like a belt of
trees or a high fence on the north and
west sides will add to the warmth Of
the house, and warmth we must have.
Have the house dust dry and well
ventilated and keep it serupulously
clean.
Clover should be provided, as it con-
tains lime and other elements suited
to promote egg production-it is as
as truly an egg producer as a milk
producer. Chopped clover moistened
with hot water or steamed may be
fed once every day. Chopped vege-
tables cannot be substituted.
Exercise. warmth, cleanliness and
variety in food are the essential fac
tors in egg production.

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED.
O6icer A. C. of the Council
Bluffs Force Tells an Inter-
esting Story.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Feb. 4, 1901 (Spe-
northumberland Officer Swanson,
of the local police force, is very pop
u-ar in this city. He has lived here
for seventeen years, and has enjoyed
many high offices in social and society
work. He is now vice president of the
"Dannebrog' Brotherhood, the larg-
est Danish secret society in America,
which combines benevolent with the
social features. Owing to the con-
slant exposure and many hours on his
feet, which his duty as a Police Off
Ger makes unavoidable, Mr.. Swanson
became the victim of serious Kidney
and Liver Trouble. He was very bad,
but has entirely recovered. He gives
the story in his own words as follows:
at have been a sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trou-
BILE, and have tried many remedies,
some of which gave'me temporary re-
lief, and others which were absolutely
worthless. I began to think that
there was no help for me, when my
nephew gave me a part of a box Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills which he had left,
saving that it would do no harm to
try them, as they had certainly fixed
him all right. What he gave me
helped me so much that I felt justified
in purchasing more, and I grew slowly
better. 1t took almost two months to
effect a complete cure, as mine was
a very bad case, but I can ~cheerfully
and truthfully say that / am a we'll
man to-day, and I Am very grateful
that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus
brought to my notice"
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have
created quite n sensation in some
parts OF the state. There does not
seem to be any cas- of Lame Back,
rheumatism, Kidney or Bladder Trou-
bic which these wonderful Pills cam
not cure. They are certainly pop
ular here, and the sale through the
local druggists is very large.

Food and Flavor of Eggs.

Some years ago the New FORK Cor
nell station, in studying the effect of
heterogeneous VS.. carbonaceous food for
poultry, reported observations on the
effect of the different r~ations on the
flavor of eggs. One lot of fowls was
fed a mixture of wheat shorts, cotton
seed-meal and skim-milk; another lot
cracked corn and corn dough. The
former ration contained much more
nitrogen than the latter. The hens fed
corr laid fewer eggs than those fed the
heterogeneous ration, but the eggs were
larger. The eggs produced by the nj
trogenous ration were of a disagree
able favor and smell, had a small yolk,
and did not keep well. The flesh of the
poultry fed this ration, however. was
darker, more succulent and tender
than that of the fowls fed the carbon
aceous ration.-Commercial Poultry.
