Elephants Had Fine Feed.

Five elephants created an extraordi-
nary scene at the goods station OF
Batignoiles the other day. They are
being kept at the station while quar-
tiers are being got ready for them. but
managed to break loose from their
stables. At this time of year the sta,
ton dispatches enormous eonsign-
ments of fruit, which the elephants
seeming at once began to deyous
Cherries, peaches, apricots and straw
berries disappeared by the hamperfui
at a prodigious rate. Some porters
sought to stop the dessert, but the
elephants, using their trunks like cud-
gels, simply logged them away and
went on eating until they were liz
orally gorged with fruit. Then they
went back to their stables Of their
own accord. London Globe. a,~ ;

SIXTH SENSE IN BIRDS.
Experiments with Carrier Pigeons
Prove Its Possession.

Experiments with Carrier Pigeons
Prove Its Possession.
Although birds are not placed near
the summit line of evolution, their
ability to fly gives them advantages
over nearly all the mammalia. Their
mysterious power of changing their
polarity or weight, in order to dive
in water or fly, has been often dis
cussed, and the almost incredible We
locity of their motion when migrating,
sometimes amounting to four miles
minute for vast distances, has no par
allel among other animals.
A series of careful trials with ear
rier pigeons shows apparently without
doubt their possession of a highly de-
veloped sense of direction. In twenty
minutes the first bird, dispatched at
10 p. M, reached it's roost, distance
of seventeen miles being traVersed.
Half of the number arrived before
midnight and the remainder followed
in a few hours.

The farmers wife was kind-hearted

twelve. said to her in a loud tone:
Nav. give the stranger knife His

me one, which was true, but again the
youngster piped up: Nav, I tell you
to give him a knife; don't you see he

Colds and Roup.

Roup in fowls of all kinds is very
dangerous to the whole flock. The
Ratchet is the best cure for it after
the fowls head becomes foully odor-
GUS. Roup starts from colds, damp
quarters, foul air, and other causes.
When a cold gets bad and runs into
a form of catarrh it is then almost
sure to go into roup. Burn or bury
all fowls that die or are kill of it.
Weak constitutional focks are always
troubled with colds and roup. Kill
them off and try new blood. A cold
can be cured in a healthy fowl by an
application of three or four drops OF
coal oil in the fowls nostrils. Never
get it in the eyes. Put enough per-
manganate of potash in the drinking
water to color it. This is good fol-
throat infections of all kinds and will
prevent the spread of the trouble

Best Grain for Poultry.

Oats will prove more profitable than
other grain for feeding poultry, in
spite of the fact that some poultry
men are opposed to their use. They
are the best balanced of all the grains,
and if kept before poultry all the
time the birds will never eat more
than they should. The large proper
ton of hull seems to be relief to the
digestive organs, which find solid
grain too compact for best handling.
Poultrymen that have fed oats for
years are loud in their praise.

Sand for Chickens.

The New York experiment station at
Geneva has found that sand, both in
a ration without animal food and in
one containing animal food with
bone enables poultry to make better
use of the food eaten. This is especi-
ally the case with chicks. It was
found that chicks did much better
when sand alone was supplied for grit
than when oyster shells were supplied
either alone or in combination with
sand. There appeared to be some I'M
favorable action of the material in
the oyster shells upon the digestive
action.
