Well Supplied.

The young ~hOusekeeper has to pro-
rect herself, and sometimes she can do
it only by an assumption Of knowledge.
One bride, whose story is told in the
New York Press, knew so little about
housekeeping that she shuddered be-
fore the butcher and baker and rest
of the tradesmen for fear they would
discover her ignorance. She always
ordered the articles with which she
had some acquaintance, and ended her
business interviews as quickly as pos
sible.
one day, when she was feeling rath-
Ell proud Of herself in having learned
so much from a short experience. the
ashman came through the street. utter
ing his customary cry. "Ash-ees! Ash
ees!" AS he neared her window she
grew more and more perplexed.
What on earth is he saying?" she
asked herself. At last he appeared at
the back door, and there she confront
ed him.
"Ash-ees?" he inquired in a husky
gutteral.
For a moment she looked at him
hesitatingly. Then she drew herself
up with dignity. NO" she said.

There is nothing to indicate the rela.

are fed to the sheep and goats, so that
a nearly accurate ration may be for

corn grown on the farm for a grain

and beans in the hay and the sheep
and goats are on the range so great a
portion of the time. / would only sug-
gest that if circumstances will admit

Of cornstalks to be fed, but if this cam
not we'll be done, that one add to the
grain ration a little old process linseed
cake, preferably Of the pea size, or the
nutted cake. This is a most valuable
food for any kind of live stock, and
wherever possible, should constitute a
proper portion of the grain ration. 1

Poultry Diseases.


When the crop is hard and unyield-
ing there is danger Of the bird becom-
ing crOp-bound.
When the joints are hot and swollen
and the fowl is disinclined to stand,
rheumatism has taken hold.
When the nostrils are clogged with
dirt and the eyes water, ward off a
possible case of roup by timely treat
ment. If the case is bad apply the
Ratchet and bury the carcass.
When the bird seems lame and has a
small swening on it's foot, remove to a
house with no perches and oblige it to
roost on a bed of straw. Bumble-foot
is easily cured in the early stages if
the cause is at once removed.
When a hen seems to drown down
behind and goes repeatedly to the nest
without laying, she is usually suffer
ing from a disorder of the oviduct, and
might as well be killed and eaten.
When the hen seems giddy and turns
round and round. she is probably sui.
fering from apoplexy.
When the bird has leg weakness,
with no disorder of the liver, feed
lighter and give plenty Of bone-form-
ing material.
When new fowls are bought quaran.
tine them until sur they have no dis
ease.
When a fowl has difficulty IN breath
ing look out for pneumonia.
When a fowl is dangerously sick
with an organic disease it is worse
than useless as a breeder. 1t is usu-
ally safer to kill a bad East of illness
than to try to cure it.-Farmer's Ga
zette, Canada.

There are many instances of getting
even" which are at once just and un-
generous, and although we may smile
at the return thrust, we can hardly
avoid a twinge Of disapproval over the
bad manners involved. Indeed, it is a
well-accepted fact that no man can go
out of his way to seek witty revenge
without lowering his own dignity.
The New York Tribune gives this
case in point. touching Whistler, the
artist. He was eKtravagantly fond of
a French poodle, and once, when the
dog had some trouble with it's throat.
sent for Sir Morel Mackenzie, the great
specialist.
Mackenzie was not pleased, but pre-
scribed for the dog, and took q partial
revenge by charging a big fee.
The next day he sent for Whistler in
great haste, and the artist, feeling that
he had been summoned on some matter
connected with the poodle, dropped his
work and FASTENED to M~ackenzie's
house.
How do you do, MI. Whistler, said
the surgeon, gravely. II wanted TO

B MAKE BIG HAUL
Banking Company of Genoa. Ohio,
Robbed.
Tifty-two Thousand Dollars Taken From
Vaulis-Burglars Escape in Buggy
and Hand Car.

Fremont, Ohio.-Three men blew up
the vault of the Genoa Banking Com
pany, of Genoa, early i'll the morning,
escaping after the crime in a buggy
which they had stolen.
Posses went in pursuit of the rob.
6ers and the sheriffs of the surrounding
districts were notified. Plumber amount.
ingto $52,O 0 of which $1,000 was III
cash and $4,000 in negotiable paper,
was obtained.
The raid OH the bank was made a
little while before dawn. Several
strangers have been noticed in the
town lately, and it is believed they
were looking over the bank and getting
the lay of the land.
A heavy explosion awoke several per-
sons living near the bank, and many
dressed hurriedly and ran out to inves-
tigate. The first man to reach the bank
saw two men in a buggy. AS he APP
preached one of them levelled a re-
volver at him and fired, the shot going
wide. He saw a third man run out of
the bank and leap into the vehicle. The
horse was dashed into a gallop and the
robbers quickly disappeared.
On examination it was found that
entry to the bank had been forced with
jimmies. A charge of nitro-glycerine
was used to open the vault. The job
was clean and workmanlike and had
evidently been done by experienced
men.
The vault door was badly wrecked.
The interior had been rified, but a large
sum in bills had been overlooked.
The robbers with great GOODNESS had
broken into a barn nearby and har-
messed and taken out a horse and
buggy. Apparently one man had at
tended to this, while the other two were
busy in the bank.
A posse of men armed with rifles
and shotguns was hurriedly formed and
pursuit began along the road taken by
the robbers. The pursuing force was
loaded into three wagons.
The trail led to the railroad, where
the abandoned buggy, with the horse
exhausted and dripping with sweat,
was found. A handcar was missing
from a switch at that point. In all
probability the escape was carefully
planned, and the handcar placed there
during the night, before the gang
started for the bank.
The handcar was found later in the
day, the robbers having abandoned it
and started across country, in all prob
ability, after first dividing the plumber
and dispensing.

The Guiding of Providence.

Being forbidden to preach the Gospel
in Cape Town, Barnabas Shaw bought
a yoke of oxen and a cart, and putting
his goods into the wagon, he and his
wife seated themselves therein, and
headed the lowing kline toward the in.
terror of the country, not knowing
whittier they went. Thus they jour.
neyed on day after day, till they had
travelled 800 miles. On the twenty
seventh day of their journey they en-
camped for the night. They discovered
a company of Hottentots Ealting near
them. On entering into cOmmunica-
ton with them, they learned to their
establishment tha1 this band of heath

neying TO Cape Town in search of a

Spiritual Life.

1t is possible for the Christian to live
in this world and not be contaminated
with it. "In it, but not of it, Some
one tells of a curious little spider in
South America that has a home under
the water. 1t has the power of form
ing a bubble about itself in which,
like a diving bell, it sinks to the bottom
and will remain there for hours, living
below, but breathing the air from
above. When it comes to the surface
it is found TO be perfectly dry, not
the slightest moisture In ling penetrat-
ed the atmosphere in which it lived.
Even so may the believer be in this
world so surrounded by a heavenly
atmosphere that evil will not contain

in Homiletic Review.

Disposing of Dead Animals

We have this query: HAS any one
right to throw dead pigs into a stream,
on his W land, so that they may
wash down on my land?"
He certainly has no moral right to
do so, and most States have a strict
law prohibiting such practice. under
penalty of being found guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and fine or Imprisonment
following. 1t the case of animals
known to have died Of contagious dis
eases the penalty is usually greater
than for other dead animals. as it
should be. Some States .have laws for
bidding any person to skill any dis
eased animal and feed the flesh to
swine, or to feed to swine any animal
that has died from any cause. In the
vicinity of cities it is nothing unusual
for men to buy WORKOUT animals and
use them as poultry or pig feed, and
while there may be no danger in such
practice where no contagious disease
exists in the animal, it is a practice
that is not to be recommended. and
really should be prohibited by law.
AS the Voice has said before all
dead animals OF poultry should be
burned, but if this is not possible, bury
them at least three feet deep. and be-
fore throwing back the earth use at
least a peck of quicklima over the car
cas- of a pig, half a bushel to a 200
pound hog, or a bushel over n horse or
cow. Then fill up the hole and tramp
it down well, with a gallon of lime on
top to discourage dogs from digging
the carcass out. We would go to ex-
ira pains and trouble to burn any ami
NAL dead of CHAMBERS, hog cholera. an
thrax or blackleg, believing that the
only correct means of disposing of
such carcasses.-Farmers Voice.

Chicken House.

There has been a good deal said
about how chicken houses ought to be
built. Just allow me to give our read
ers a few useful points regarding nat

A chicken house ought to have a fiat
ceiling, either tar papered or plastered,
the walls, too. My reason for having
a fiat ceiling is so that the natural
warmth will be evenly distributed.

THE COAT.

The goat is an amusing beast,
On circus posters nursed;
His head is the butt end of him
He travels butt end first.
IT'S true he feedeth on tin cans
And other bric-a-brac,
And wears a bored expression.
And eternally says: "Ba-a!"
When he has quit this world of sin,
Eternally stopped buttin',
We greet him in our dining room
He comes disguised as mutton
He has the cutest little tail,
A set of horns, also;
They're each at different ends Of him.
At the butt ends, you know.
7 would not care to meet a goat
And pat it on the head;
I hate trained nurses all the while
Tiptooing round my bed;
My father and my mother, too
1t worries them like sin;
A goats the impolitest beast
He's always butting in.
