PROPER HOUSING FOR CHICKS.

of Coops For Newly Hatched llroods.
The proper housing for young chicks
has much to do with their future. A
greater loss is sustained with the chicks
for the first week than at any other
period. If they can be protected during
the first 10 days, the chances are great-.

er for early maturing and healthy chicks.
There is everything in keeping the
chicks warm for the first two weeks.
When hatched, their temperature is 100
degrees, and this should be imitated as
far as possible. When the hen and chicks
are allowed to run at large in tho early
spring, tho latter become chilled, and
bad results follow. Field and Farm

dryness and warmth should bo the first
consideration, the roof to bo water
tight, and the floor of the coop raised
from the" ground. Tigs. 1 and 2 are
excellent designs of coops for young
chickens, and they should be made large
and roomy. A dry and well drained
place should bo selected for these coops,
to avoid dampness and chilL It is ad
visable to keep them under a shed, to
protect them from tho driving rains of
early spring. Chicks should be confined
until the sun is well up and the chill

coops frequently. Never allow filth to
accumulate on tho floor, as it breeds ver

Perhaps it is abetter plan in building
coops to have the runs attached, as
shown in Figs. 4,. 5 and 6. There are
many advantages in such coops. By
having tho hen and chicks confined in
them there is less liability Of the chicks

on a range. The hen is in easy access,
and when they become cold they can
find warmth near her. In the runs the

A coop that can be made by any one
with little trouble is the barrel coop, as
shown in Fig. S. Take an old barrel and

spread the barrel open, as shown in cut;

for the back of tho coop, and two small
pieces to tack on for the front part The

and when hard, tough and wiry is re
jected by stock. Its bad reputation was
obtained because it' was fed in this
tough condition. But, according to H.
J. Patterson of tho Maryland station, it
has its merits. Two years ago at this
station a field of broom Bedge. was cut,
and when partly dry the stalks were run
through a cutter and mixed in alternate
layers with corn in a silo. It came out
of the silo in fine condition and was
eaten np clean by the stock. Analyses
showed that broom sedge ensilage con
tained nearly twice the feeding value of
that from corn. Here, then, the silo
serves a double purpose making pala
table food of what would otherwise be
wasted and encouraging the farmer to
mow the weeds on his farm.
Notes of Local Interest.
Six years' experience of the Alabama
college station indicate that pea vines
cut for hay, leaving the stubble and roots
on the land, benefit the soil more than
turning them in green during the sum
mer. In three years at the Louisiana sta
tion it was more economical to turn the
vines under as green manure than to
harvest for hay. - -

And as I was passing the postoffloe I

There was one. of the big Irish women
who scrub out dancing around in the

her. Just as he was about to haul her
out to the patrol box that stands on the

stepped out of the crowd and said, .'Let

man, "Letter box let - her box, see?

who had on the boxing gloves. "
There was a succession of dismal

' "Sacred1 Water Analysed.
A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England of the Zem-Zem water
from the sacred well at Mecca, which,
according to the Arabs is the well that
the angel showed to Hagar, and whose
water saved the life of IshmaeL After
reading the results of this analysis one
cannot wonder that pilgrims who drink
the water are frequently attacked by
cholera. i
The specimen examined, which was
hermetically sealed in tin bottles 40
years ago by Sir Richard Burton during
his visit to Mecca in the disguise of a
dervish, contained 69 grains of chlorine
to the gallon. Water which contains so
little as 9 grains of chlorine to the gal
lon is ordinal rly regarded as scarcely fit
for human consumption. j
Moreover, m the case of the Zem-Zem
well, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom of pouring
the water over the pilgrims and allow
ing it to run back into the well , The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree of "hardness,
tnree times as great as that oi average
water. It also held 20 times as much
ammonia compounds as drinking water
should contain. -
No bacteria were discovered, but this
is accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for so long a time
sealed up in entire darkness. Forty
years of such confinement had complete
ly sterilized it but the chemical im

Blood as a Medicine.
"Let me have three ounces of that
bottled blood quick 1" bids fair yet to
become a not uncommon order in the
corner drug store. According to a well
known Philadelphia physician, startling
progress has been made in blood healing,
or hematherapy. "Blood is not only
life, " he declares, "but lives itself in
dependently. It is a highly organized
living tissue simply in the transition
state. It can be made to live apart from
the body indefinitely in perfect condi
tion and can then be returned into any
tissue by any opening at any time, when
it will instantly resume its full creative
activity. It can even be swallowed
when the patient suffering from drain
ing of blood or hemorrhages, can take
no other drink. Death from blood star
vation will one day be exceedingly rare
indeed, and these corked up vital corpus

QUEER EXPERIENCES AT SEA.
Immense Tidal Waves, Submarine Upheav
als and Snowers or Fishbones.
Sailors have; more than their 'fill of
strange sights and strange experiences.
The fact that we on shore hear so little
about them' is owing to their absolute
commonness, from the mariner's point
of view, and it is only when some acci
dent accompanies the ooenrrence that, as
a rule, we are treated to any details
about it
Big waves rank among these experi
ences. We do not refer to those waves
which are. the immediate oonsequenoes .
of high winds and atmospherical dis
turbances, but to those single waves of
immense height which show themselves
suddenly in the midst of a sea compara
tively smooth. . A vessel may be sailing
along in fine weather, and with no swell
on. worth mentioning, when, without
the least warning, comes sweeping along
a wave that towers like a mountain, falls
on the deck and carries away everything
movable, members of the crew among
the rest The steamer San Francisco
was once struck by a tidal wave of this
sort in the gulf stream and 179 persona
swept into the sea and drowned. In
March last all the crew save one of the
bark Johann Wilhelm were . washed
overboard by a single wave. In June,
last year, the ship Holyrood encountered
another such sea, which is said to have
risen up "suddenly like a wall," and to
have flooded her decks fore and aft, The
Cunarders Etruria and TJmbria have
both encountered the phenomenon, and
the former had one man killed and sev
eral others injured. The case of the
Pomeranian will be fresh in the minds
of alL Sometimes these waves are the
result of submarine eruptions and land
earthquakes occurring in close proxim
ity to the sea
An English bark crossing the north
Pacific met one of these big waves, and
immediately afterward the ocean seemed
to be boiling, and the sulphur fumee
that emerged from the water were so
powerful as to drive the crew into the
rigging. Certainly there was an erup
tion here as the ship sailed over, and the
wonder is that the great wave did not
do more injury. Again, the American
schooner Dara J. Ward, while on a voy
age to Seattle, Wash., from Coppei
island, was sailing quietly along when
suddenly she was lifted as if a whale
had struck her bottom and then experi
enced a succession of shocks which cast
everything loose about her decks and
knocked the crew off their feet Then
were a few big waves succeeding the
main one, and then everything was
smooth again.
The biggest solitary Wave ever known
was that caused by the Peruvian earth
quakejof Aug. 13, 1868. In no other in
stance, we are assured, has it been
known that ; a well marked wave ol
enormous proportions has been propa
gated over the largest ocean tract of the
globe by an earthquake; whose action
has been limited to a relatively small
region, and that region not situated in
the center, but on one side of the area
traversed by the wava At Arica it wa&
50 feet high, and enveloped the town,
carrying two warships nearly a mile be
yond the railway to the north of the
town. The single sea traveled north
ward and westward. Its height at San
Pedro, in California, was 60 feet It in
undated the smaller members of the
Sandwich group, 6,800 miles away, and
reached Yokohama in the early hours ol
the morning after taking in New Zea
land on the way. It spent itself finally
in the south Atlantic, havingtraversed
nearly the whole globe.
A singular occurrence was reported
recently by the English ship Lucipara.
She was about midway between the
cape and Australia when she encounter
ed a hurricane. About midnight of Aug.
4 last the sea suddenly fell almost calm.
"It appeared as if the sea was affected
by some tremendous pressure," when
suddenly the whole vessel, lore and aft,
was enveloped in sheets of flame that
rose half way up the masts and overran
the decks for three-quarters of an hour.
It was an electrical storm, and the crew,
never having encountered such a thing
before, were panic stricken, and very
naturally so. They expected every mo
ment to see the masts go by the board.
After what must have been a very cheer
ful 45 minutes the flames snuffed out
suddenly and left darkness so thick that
it might have been cut
Another singular occurrence was that
of tho bark Peter Pridell, which was off
Valparaiso when a whirlwind , past
over her stern, taking away everything
movable, sails and all, on the after part
of the ship, leaving the forward end un
touched. Here was the sharp end of a
storm with a vengeance. Almost as sur
prised at their good fortune and narrow
escape must have been the crew of the
barkentine Fortunate, which, while on
a voyage from Bio Grande to Liverpool,
felt a tremendous shock that could not
be accounted for until the vessel was put
into dry dock, when the sword . of a
swordfish was found to have penetrated
some feet into the wood of the hull
Yet another of the curiosities of the
sea is the occasional snower ox nsn
bones or the like falling on the deck
when many miles from land. These
showers are easily explained. The fish
are taken up in waterspouts and come
down in a more or less rarefied condi
tion. But perhaps the most awful of all
things that can happen at sea is a fire.
A severe squall breaking over the vessel
unprepared for it and with all her sails
set is bad, but the experience is short,
sharp and generally decisive, but for
long drawn out agony there is nothing
like a fire, especially if it is among coal
and there is also dynamite or gunpow
der in the cargo. Pittsburg Dispatch.

wanted to predict that the next great
struggle would be bn this line. It would
settle which was to rule, the masses or
the monev Dower. The last few years
had witnessed a remarkable political
soectacle in this country. In 1884 the
Democrats had elected Cleveland fresi
dent. At the end -of bis term he nad
gotten his party in such a fix that the
Republicans elected tneir ttcicet easuy.
They, in their turn, elected ; Mr.
Harrison. When his term was up ne
had wound his party 'up so that the
Democrats sweot the country. What
would thev do? Thev went straight and
re-elected Cleveland. He was directly
onnosed to them on the money Ques
tion and they knew it. still they elected
him. It was a remarkable occurrence.
He did not. believe Cleveland was dis
honest. The President was governed
by his New York environments. If he
(Butler) had anything to do with the
Democratic oartv in the future he in-
tended to read - the riot act. Cleve
land. Hill and the rest of them
were tarred with the same stick.
He now had' his mind on a
Western man whom he considered the
richt man to lead the oartv. As for talk
ing about a coalition between the South
and West that was what many of them
had been working for years. It was one
thine to talk and to act. In these
schemes it must not be forgotten that
the West was in favor of pensions and
that system was one of the heaviest bar-
dens the South had to bear.
There was nothing new, nothing
strong andbut little that was picturesque
in what Governor Tillman said. He was
ireauentlv applauded. No bloodshed.
no dog fights to-day.
