While living in New England the writer one day made a trip to the poultry men of Lowell, Mass„ and among the places visited was a poul- try plant rim by William Nichoie. We were told on this visit that one day while Mr. Nichole w in—the barn looking after a. number of setting hena a thunder and lightning storm arose, All ot a sudden the lightning struck the edge of the roof of the building, tearing out a big piece, and then, traveling to the trona ripped off a board, All thie happened while rolls of thunder fairly shook the build- ing. The next day the neighbors, becom- ing acquainted with the facts, assured Mr. Nichols that the eggs under those hens would not hatch; that such a storm invariably killed all life within the egg under incubation. Nevertheless, Mr. Nichols did not brea,k up the hens nor throw away the eggs. He was anxious to see what the results would be. In every case, the hen came off with two- tlairds of a hatch.—Troy Budget. GROUND DONE IS VALUABLE IN DEVELOPINGFLOCK No doubt some poultry growers wonder what is the especial value or ground bone, that all writers on the subject of making hens lay in winter invariably include in the prescribed rations. It is not that lime is the important constituent, although bones supply this in its enoet available form, and, no soft shelled eggs are laid by hens to which this is fed. The element of prime importance, however, is the large proportion of protein contained in the freshly ground bones of all the larger animals. This we have °ova° to know is the most important of all the nutrients for man and all animals, strengthen- ing and building muscle and bone, but it contained in but small quanti- ties in the grains, of which, therefore when these mainly are partaken or fed, large rations must be used, In the case of laying hens this in- duces excessive fattening with conse- quent diminution of the yield of eggs. As the latter are among the most concentrated forms of animal foods, they are largely composed of this element. And to produce them it Is very important that some portion of the feed should be principally com- posed of it. Ixi ground bone there are also other minerals and albuminoid constituents that contrieeLe to the beauty and healthfulness of the fowls and their general well-being, especially in win- ter, when they cannot obtain any in- sect foo l.—The American 'Weekly. Excellent rem.edy for chicken lice— Mix well two tablespoons dry sulphur In one pail of mash. Give fowls twice per week which will make them and surroundings perfectly free frorn the pest,. TO FIND THE AGE OF EGGS. The following method of determining the age of eggs is said to be practiced on the markets of Paris: About six ounect of e0a1111011 cooking salt is put into a Lap glase, which is then filled with water. When the salt is in the so- lution an egg is dropped into the glass. If the egg is only one day old it immedi- ately will sink to the bottom; if any older it does not reach the bottom of the glass. If :three days old it sinks only just below the surface. From five days upward it floats; the older it is the more it protrudes out of the water. Whitewashing is not a very hard job, but if one attempts to do it with a small brush as is used to do cellars, he will find his work tedious. The rough boards eat up the liquid so fast that the work becomes tiresome before the rounds are made. Ilse a spray pump, and spray every portion of the houses and sheds nrith the whitewash. Have crack and crevice of the hen houses. This will take more whitewash, but it :may be diluted, and the cost will not be very much( to say nothing of labor sav- ,ed, and the surety of forcing the liquid into the cracks. Anything may be put into the mixture, carbolic acid, copperas or soapsuds, and the effect will be bet- ter. The lice will be destroyed. If anyone thinks it is an easy job to rtin a poultry bueinces I would like to dieabuse their mind of any such idea. If a person has a proper idea of busi- ness methods and a love for the feather- ed race ancl does not put dollars and ceute above the pleasure of the busi- ness, they can no doubt derive botb pleasure and profit out of it. To be a thorough fancier you must not eount the cost of your labor and must be ready at all timeto anticipate the wants of your feathered dependants. If you can make it a pleasure instead of a labor, then you are truly a fancier and In time will be able to take a place am- ong the leading ones and reap your share of the regards. When the fowls have a good range two feed e a day is sufficient. When several fowls in a Rock are at- feeted with sore heads, it will be found that lice abound. somewhere and that the heads of these fowls are attacked by them. The parasites- may be so small as not to be noticeable to the nak- ed eye, but they will be found in near- ly all eases. They are not exactly the snme as the body lice. They are so small that they appear like the.scale of the fowl's flesh. bet upon eloee eXam- ination it will be foetid to be minute parasites. which are prtle ing upon the heads. Separate the fowls from the others which are not affected and an- Oint the heads onee a day with erride petroleum and. cedar oil, equal parts. EverybOdY levee adnettett ZanieStik beet toe theta.

WASTE PAPER, Accumulation of a Chleago Office Sold for $1,331. The management of one of the largest office buildings In Chicago made a pro- fit of $1,331.67 last year by :selling the 'waste paper whieh the janitors removed each night from the offices of tenants. Comparatively few persoms ever stop to think that there is any value to a scrap of paper thrown into a. waste basket. There really isn't when a eIngle sheet or even a basketful is considered. But when thousands of, basketfuls are dumped into one big pile it Is worth considerable. Removing the clay's accumulation of waste paper is an obligation whic,h the management of every big building must perform for hits tenants, so a profit of $1,831.57 is really lust ailce finding that anuola money. Handldng waste paper has been reduced to a scien-ce, and tons and tons of -it Is sold eaoh year by the proprietors of the hund•recl,s of skyscrap- ers in Chicago This scrap paper is ,pur- c,hased by the second hand paper corn- panias, -who in turn dis.pose of it at pro- fit to ooneerns that make It up into cheap grades and perhaps sell It back to the persons wno origtnaliy threw the scrap away.

This done the paper Is placed in a •big oompressIng machine and it comes out In bundles similar to baled hay. These trundles aro sold by weight and the market twice of waste paper is about IP a ton. To realize a profit of $1,331.5; over and above the salary of the man who handles the waste paper this one of- fice building must dispose of more than three hundred tons a year—Prom the Qhleago Tribune.

Langridge's fruit farm ie known 43 the N' Gelani estate, and it is near aftincliako Town, about thirty miles from the Uganda Railway, in the High- lands, of British Etiet Africa. She has about a laradred acres and it is alt un- der cultivation. The farm ha e been laid (Jut for more than twenty-five years, but It is only recently under her manage- ment that it Me; been made a paying propoeition. It is at present the only actual fruit - bearing farm in the colony, although others are under cultivation,- it con. tains 7,000 apple trees, besides oranges, lemons, pineapple, tangerines, peaches, plums, lige, apricots, greengages, guavas, quinces, pomegranates and vines. She has on it fifty ostriches, thirty head of cattle, a small flock of sheep and a poultry farm. The main crop so far, however, comes from the apple trees. It pays beet at present to push this crop 'because it can be easily packed and shipped to Uganda, German East Africa, Zanzibar, Aden and other parts. "The apple crop is truly remarkable," said Mrs, Langridge. "We start picking apples in December and continue with- out break until August, In August strip the trees of their leaves and whitte wash the bark all the way up in order to give the trees a foreed rest. The trees are blossoming, fruiting and ripening all at the same time, You can see the bud, htossone eniall and large fruit on the tree at one and the same period. -The singulq r e v'ti of elimate fle• counts for this remarkable fertility.

The natives work very well and are very quiet and teachable, Only male help, however, is possible, as the female na- lives work only in their own allotments. In their ordinary life the native woman is an absolute slave to the nan, She rises at 4 a.m., milks the ewe, fetches the wood and water, eooke the food, and then goce to work in the fields from 6 in the morning until 0 in the evening. At 6 she again fetches the wood and water, again milks the cows and prepares the evening meal. But her duties are not over even then. Her lord and maker, who spends has time between sleeping and drinking, wants a midnight meal, and this she has to prepare, 80 thee her average al- lowance for sleep is from 1 to 4 a.m. These women are enormously strong, and are frequently seen carrying on their baeke burdens considerably over a hun- dredweight, supported hy straps fas- tened round the forehead 80 that the main weight is borne by the head.

The 1, iti Led Stales submitted to this indignity for fourteen years, during which thousands of Americans were tak- en from under their own flag and foxed to serve in British ships; but war at last became' unavoidable, and was de- clared on June 18. Probably most people in this country remember the war for the victory of the Shannon over the Chesapeake, .As matter of fact, however, the Amerieans had five sound. triumphs to their credit before the Shannon came along to vary the monotony of our disasters. Before the end of 1812 we had lost thirty-eight gun frigates, Guerriere, Macedonian and Java and the eighteen gun Frolic, while early in 1813 the eighteen gun Peacock fell an easy vistim to the American Hornet. Altogether there were fifteen of thete single ship eneounters, and the Britieh ship was beaten in ten of them. In every case save one, however, the American vessel was superior in force. The American navy at the outset of the war comprised only sixteen vessels, while Great Britaiu possessed. over 800. The war lasted over three years, and we lot twenty-one ships before peace Was proclaimed..
