JUST KICKED AT A CAT.
Cure for rheumatism Discovered by a
Jersey Freight Clerk.

A clerk In a railroad freight Office
In Jersey City suffered from spasmod-
ic twinges in his right leg, which he
attributed to rheumatism. He consult
ed a physician and spent a good deal
for medicine, but continued to grow
worse. One morning recently the Of
fee tomcat in a spirit of friendliness
arched his back and rubbed against
the afflicted calf The clerk gave
vicious kick with his bad leg and a
gray streak shot through the air. He
hobbled to a chair and sat down with
a few stirring remarks about cats and
rheumatism. A few minutes later he
gritted his teeth hard and arose. lie
shook his leg and feebly smiled. Then
he walked like a drum major across
the floor and boisterously shook hands
with himself. The sharp twinges had
disappeared and there has been no
recurrence of pain. The clerks doc
tor corrected his diagnosis when asked
for an explanation of the sudden cure
and said that what he mistook for
rheumatism was probably caused by
twisted ligament. The kick at the cat
Strengthened out the twist and re-
moved the cause of the trouble.

Mr.. Page, in his letter, calls atten-
tion that the plans and specifications
have not been carried out, and that
the roadway is IS inches narrower
than the plans called for. That the
footpath called for utterly fails to ac-
complish It's purpose; that It is nee
essary TO have the walk connected
with the embankment, for the reason
that the wing walls on the west side
were designed to carry only the road
way, 22 feet wide; that the bridge IS
structurally weak; that the founda-
tions are not laid to the depth called
for In the contract. and that the
wing walls are now undermined, and
are held in place by the wooden
forms.
Mr.. Page says the company has no
desire to avoid the payment OF any
of its obligations, but he sees no
chance for either the city or the
company to get any service from this
arch under the existing conditions,
and that when the so days time ex-
pires other steps will be taken.

Dicta Fer Duck Ra;sers.

Ducks are much easier raised than
chickens. They are not retarded IN
growth by the many diseases the
chicks must contend with.
The best remedy for duck ailments is
plenty Of sliced raw onion in the mash,
and a dry, soft bed.
When you desire ducks for egg pro-
duction have four to five ducks with
an unrelated drake. Two ducks and
one drake produce too large a percent
age of brakes.
Do not let the ducks run with fowls.
Disease is sure to visit the chickens
that are allowed to drink from the YES
sci the ducks have padded in.
Always catch duck by the neck;
too often their legs are broken by be-
ing caught by them.

MaIe and FemaIe cuineas.

Authorities on guinea raising claim
that it is always best, no matter how
small a flock you may have, to have
two or more males running with the
hens. As a rule one cock guinea is
enough for every four hens, but some
times the birds will pair. Some breed
ers claim that it is best to breed them
in pairs. There is only one absolutely
certain way of telling the male from
the female and that is by the call or
cry. The female has peculiar call
which is never uttered by the male and
resembles "Buckwheat" or "Come
Back" The call of the male is a shrill,
rasping scream

PRESERVING Eqqs.

Eggs should keep quite well for two
or three months in cool dry cellar.
They would deteriorate somewhat in
that time, but would probably be stale,
not decomposed. Eggs in cold storage
are kept in cold dry air Darnpness
in the storage rooms will affect the
pasteboard filters in the cases and i'm
part a most disagreeable odor and
taste of wet brown cardboard to the
seggs. So far as / have seen reports
of tests with water glass, says writer
in Farm Poultry, the eggs have been
put in stone Jars and the jars covered.

BR00DER CHICKS.
Methods Employed BY ! Capable Poul-
try Woman In Raising Them.

Mrs G. B. Walker of Brownsburg,
Ind. thus explains her method Of rails
Ing brooder chicks for the benefit of
the readers of American Poultry Jour
pal: The first thing after the chicks
are out of the shell and dry we take
them to the brooder, being sure the
heat is not less than 95 degrees We
never feed until the chick is about
forty-eight hours old; then we give dry
breadcrufnbs mixed with hard boiled
egg. and a little bit of black pepper
also. dry the eggshell and pulyerize
this and mix in feed, which find the
chicks are very fond of. This we feed
for two or three days, with plenty Of
water or milk The chicks should be
fed only as much as they can eat clean,
allowing no food to be left over, as 1t
Is better to feed three or four times a
day We cover the floor of the brooder
with paper, as this can easily be re-
moved with all filth and burned, this
being done every day. After the chicks
are a week old we make corn bread, as
for table use, using pepper and egg
shell for grit. This may be given three
times day cor as often as chicks are
hungry with a little fresh meat
ground fine. We always keep small
pan Of grit in brooder so chicks can
go to this at will Now, to the brooder
we attach box for run, the box
being four feet long and one and half
feet wide. In this we have plenty of
alfalfa litter on floor, with small grain,
such as Kaffir corn, cracked corn or
wheat thrown in, SO this will give the
little chicks plenty of exercise. When
they are a week old, we raise the small
door of brooder and let them into this
run, which you will find they greatly
enjoy. At three weeks we begin to
give potatoes, cabbage or any conven-
lent vegetable for green food. We also
find they are very fond of onion chop
ped fine. We never feed sloppy foods
or mashes to young chicks, as we think
these are the cause of so much bowel
trouble. Right here let me say I find
nothing so good for this trouble as
ginger tea-a teaspoonful of ginger,
with teacupful of boiling water, aft
er cooling. You will find the chicks
are fond Of this. Be sure there is no
other water they can get to. We give
this drink often while trouble lasts, if
1t appears. 1t will be all right to give
them this drink once a week until five
or six weeks old. Keep before them
plenty of grit and charcoal, and as far
as feeding is concerned the chicks will
grow to be healthy and happy If ev-
erything connected with the brooder is
kept perfectly clean. After the first
week we reduce the temperature Of
brooder to rs degrees and the fourth
week to about so degrees.

The first point in rapid. easy digging
is to keep one side edge Of the spade
always out of the earth, in sight. In
other words. let the cuts be alternately
somewhat diagonal instead OF straight
across. which would form, if the lines
were marked, kind Of crisscross.
