POULTRY POINTERS.

Everything in the poultry house
should be dry.
Ducks will not thrive on sloppy food
nor on cornmeal alone.
Boiled potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables may be fed to ducks to ad-
vantage.
A good food for fattening fowls can
be made by mixing cornmeal with
mashed potatoes and milk.
In dry picking poultry the picking
must be done while the fowl Is warm
as soon as possible after the fowl is
killed.
The nests should never be fastened to
the poultry bouse in such way that
they cannot be readily removed and
cleaned.
Fowls are very fond of raw vegeta-
bles. Beets, carrots, turnips and espe-
cially cabbage may be fed to advan-
tage. The best plan is to chop them
fine.
A dressed fowl may be made to look
plump by dipping it for ten seconds in
water that is nearly boiling hot and
then holding it until chilled in cold
water,

Seeing Snakes,

Persons suffering from delirium tre-
mems usually imagine that they are
surrounded by snakes. An explanation
Of this hallucination, says the Family
Doctor, is offered by the result of some
recent experiments. Sixteen alcoholic
patients were examined with the oph-
kaleidoscope, and it was found that the
minute blood vessels in the retina of
their eyes were congested In this con-
dition they appear black and are pro-
jected into the field of vision, where
their movements resemble the squirm-
dng of serpents.

How Northern Indians Secure Veni~
son For Their Larders.
A New Yorker who lives small frac.
ton of the time In the city, being usual
~ long distances away in pursuit Of
yame, tells of the method pursued by
the Indians of British Columbia in tax.
Ing deer. They have evolved system.
this huntsman says, that shows prac-
teal skill and sympathy and knowledge
Of natural conditions. He says:
''The Indians, to begin with, do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They go for deer as a housekeeper goes
to market for beef, and, what's more
In British Columbia, at any rate-they
don't 60 often. Salmon is plentiful in
the rivers and is easily caught, so why
chase animals when they can secure
dsh? 1t is something as it is in New
foundland, where l went couple of
seasons ago. There the prevailing fish,
as you might say, is cod, and, though
there is no end to the variety of edible
fish that can be taken, the natives new
er think of eating anything else. Cod
is plentiful. and they form the habit, l
suppose. This is so ingrained that they
call Goldfish fish simply. The genus is
divided into cod and the rest of fish.
"Well, when the British Columbia In
dian makes up his mind for venison, he
goes at it Systematically and without
sentiment A group of half dozen or
ten men split and take either end of a
valley. Then they proceed along the
mountain slope from the two ends to
the center. They choose the sheltered
side of the valley on which the deer
seek to escape the wind. Each party
covers the mountain side, some near the
foot and some at the top and others be-
tween the lines, keeping abreast by an
initiated owl boot. The deer, on wind
ing pursuit, have the trick Of leaping
away down the slope. unlike the goats,
which go up, and thus between the two
approaching parties they are swept to-
gether at the middle Of the valley. A
good sized herd will thus be killed off
and the Indians supplied for many
weeks by two or three days exertion."
