POULTRY.

While ducks can be raised without
water, experienced breeders know
that the best results are obtained by
giving them access to streams. Water
is the ducks natural element and
the free use of it improves the birds
in every way, besides increasing the
fertility Of their eggs.
The eggs OF all water fowls have
strong or musty flavor, and hence are
not favored for the table. But exper-
fenced cooks prefer them to the eggs
of hens for all cooking purposes, valu-
ing them at the rate of almost two
to one.
The claim often made that there
are methods of telling the sex of eggs
seems to be a mere pretense. Some
say that eggs having wrinkles on
their smaller ends are males, while
those smooth at the eXtremities will
produce females. Tests however,
have proven this to be untrue.
Science says that every form Of an
imal life is produced from an egg.
That is, in the ovaries of all animals
are found innumerable egg cells
which when duly impregnated. repro
duce their species. The eggs of poul-
try, of course, are the most familiar
example of this truth, but the prin-
ciple applies universally.
= It is estimated that each hen: un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
is equipped for the production of
about 50 eggs. For many reasons
this standard may not be reached,
but it will not be exceeded as the re-
suit of any stimulating devices in the
way of special feeding. Only the
germs originally planted in the ovary
by nature will fructify.
There is little..danger that chickens
will injure themselves by over-feed-
ing, They have enormous appetities
as we'll as extraordinary digestive
powers. There is no restraint on the
wild birds, and it is observed that
they thrive best when they can OBJ
tain an abundance of food. Undoubt
edly it is the same with poultry, ant
this is especially true when they hav'
to skirmish little to get their sup
plies. America Farmer.

A TEMPEST OF BATTLE.
stirring Description of Cavalry
Charge ut Gettysburg.

A cavalry charge met by counter
charge of cavalry is still perhaps the
most terrible spectacle witnessed in
war. II the reader has never seen such
a charge he can form little conception
Of it's awe inspiring fury. Imagine
yourself looking down from Gettys-
burg's heights upon the open, wide
spreading plain below where 5000
horses are marshaled in battle line.
Standing beside them are 5000 riders
armed, booted and spurred and ready
to mount The bugles sound the
"NIount!" and instantly 5000 plumes
rise above the horses as the riders
spring into their saddles. In front Of
the respective sQuadrons the daring
leaders take their places The hutter-
ing pcnnants or streaming guidons, ten
to each regiment. mark the left of the
companies, On the opposite slope of
the same plain are 5000 hostile horse
men clad in different uniforms ready to
meet these in countercharge. Under
those 10000 horses are their hoofs, iron
shod and pitiless, beneath whose furi-
Gus tread the plain is soon to quiver.
Again on each slope Of the open fed
the bug.es sound. Ten thousand sabers
leap from scabbards and g!isten in the
sun The trained horses chafe their re-
straining bits, and as the bugle notes
sound the charge their nostrils dilate
and their fanks swell In sympathetic
impulse with the dashing riders. For
ward.' shouts the commander. Down
the lines and through the columns in
quick succession ring the echoing COM
mands, Forward, forward" AS this
order thrills through eager ears sabers
fash and spurs are planted in palpitat-
ing flanks. The madly flying horses
! thunder across the trembling field, fill
ing the air with clouds of dust and
whizzing pebbles. Their iron trimmed
| hoofs in remorseless tread crush the
stones to powder and crash through the
! flesh and bones of hapless riders who
chance to fall. AS front against front
these furious riders plunge. their sweep
ing sabers slashing edge against edge,
cutting way through opposing ranks,
gashing faces, breaking arms and split
ting heads, it is scene OF widest war,
q whirling tempest Of battle, short
lived. but terrible.-General John b
