Cockfghting in the Language.

From the London Chronicle.
Many traces remain in popular speech Of
the hold that cockfghting gained on the
nation during those centuries through which
it was even an official institution in boys
schools. THAT beats cockfghting'' may be
going out of fashion in favor of that takes
the CAKE now that the former supremacy
of the sport is being forgotten: but we
still speak of living like a fighting cock"
though living like racehorse" might be
more in keeping with the times. When we
say that a man dies game" or that we
are game" for anything, we are commence
rating the gamecock's spirit. The white
feather is an allusion to the fact that such
a feather in a fighting cocks tail was taken
as evidence of inferior breeding and cour-
age; and Crosse held that "blackleg' was
derived from the black legs of gamecocks-
a view however, discounted by the single
point that their legs are not always black.

In Defense Of the Rich.

The Dean Of Carlisle in the Treasury
No class has suffered from such oae-sided
criticism as those who are vaguely called
the rich. They are the target at which
every one who is not rich thinks he has a
right to shoot his arrows From my ex-
perience of twenty-one years in rich west
end parish. 1 say deliberately that this
sort of criticism is untrue. In numbers of
the homes of the rich there are to be found
PERSONAL religion very real and devout, a
real desire on the part of parents to set
good example to their sons and daughters
a readiness to give liberal help to any good
cause for the welfare of others.

Setting the Seine Aire.
From the London Globe

The strange spectacle of the Seine in
flames was the other day witnessed at Ivry.
A dray loaded with casks Of petroleum gave
such lurch on one of the quays at Ivry-
sur-Seine that one of the casks was pitched
to the pavement, where the planks were
STAYED in and the Oil flowed into the river.
An angler fishing from boat happened to
be lighting his pipe and flung the live
match into the water In an instant there
was blaze which extended as the oil
spread over the surface and the angler S
boat and another had narrow escapes from
destruction by burning.

Some ancient cannon happened to lie near

THE STABLE PROBLEM.
0ne That Has Never Yet Been Salts
Ractorily Solved.

One That Has Never Yet Been sRtis-
factOriIy solved.
The horse Is one Of the most sensl
tive to cold Of any OF our homestead
cd animals, but correspondent is cor
rect in his observation that horses have
done better in a cold stable we'll ven
tilated than In finer looking building
not so well aired. Indeed, a building
may be made so tight with lumber,
lath and plaster that In winter time,
after a period of several days OF zero
weather, II becomes very cold-ln fact,
colder than one simply boarded up with
a single thickness Of matched lumber.
Beyond certain limit the more tight
we make a building to keep the outside
air out the colder we make the build
Ing. II we introduce artificial heat in
side OF the building the heat is confined
by the tight walls and ceilings, and
then II becomes warm room. With a
tight stable, with animals enough in It
to furnish heat with their breath and
the gases from their bodies, we make
the building warm. Thus, build as
tightly as we may In order to make the
stable warm we must heat II in some
way or II is just as cold as the out
side air and sometimes colder.
This calls up a bit Of experience Of
some years ago. have on my farm a
sheep barn that took great pains to
make tight by double boarding and pa
pering between, 80 that lambs could be
safely dropped In the coolest weather.
There came long period Of severe
cold in February, and was forced to
take my sheep that were Landing out
Of 1t and put them In building where
there were cracks In the side walls to
keep the lambs from chilling. l found
by thermometer test that the open
building was degrees warmer than
my tight one Why was this the case 7
Simply the tight building had not
sheep enough in II to warm 1t. The
cold air had penetrated II, and as the
cold weather abated outside II remain
ed from 2 to 4 degrees colder than II
was out OF doors for several days.-Dr.

We noticed short time ago in one
Of our exchanges very pertinent eX.

was; "A gill OF millet seed Is better
than a quart. The small seed induce
the hen to scratch for them"
This statement Is true. We wit
messed the dire disaster of the utter de-
struction OF many hundreds of young
chicks in brooder house through the
feeding Of too much mlllet seed. Mlllet

destroy their lives. 1t is too oily, too
rich Its tendency Is to swell up and
clog the bowels. This Is why 1t proves
80 destructive to both old and young
fowls when fed too literally.
Kafiir corn IL recommended for young
chicks. So Is pearl barley Both are
good. Neither OF these, however,
should be fed whole. They should al
ways be cracked Into two or more
pieces before they are fed to any ex-
tent either to young chicks, hens or
pigeons. Kaffir corn that is thoroughly
well dried Is almost as hard as bullet
and just as easy OF reduction in the
crop OF the poultry. For these reasons
1t should be cracked or broken open be-
fore being fed. A little OF this, like the
mlllet, may be fed TO grown poultry or
pigeons, but not young squads or
chicks.
We often recommend hulled oats for
poultry OF all kinds. This Is to avoid
the feeding Of the husks or bulls Of the
oats. Where you cannot obtain the
hulled oats get them clipped. This Is

greater part of the hull trimmed there

to poultry In Its natural state they
must grind up and consume one pint OF
straw to every quart Of oats that is fed

the oats has no food value whatever
For this reason It Is waste OF time
and labor In the life of the hen to com.

which retards rather than Increases the
egg production. Then, again, the point
OF the oat hull Is very sharp, and when
fed TO any extent II Is possible that
II will lacerate the interior Of the
crop OF the fowl, creating an irritation
that may lead to disease, Some of the
best authorities In the veterinary world
claim that much OF the poultry that
