STORMED BY THE BIRDS.
A Llglithouse Keeper of Maine
Gives His Experience.
The Tower Bombarded with Birds at Night
and Hundreds Found Dead, -
A lighthouse keeper off the Maine
coast has been telling a reporter some
of his experiences while on duty at
the lighthouse at Rockport: "Yes, we
see and hear curious things, and as for
monotony it’s enough to drive one
mad mau, and anu has nas done uone so so in in some some cases cases.
Married men fare better, as when wo
men and children are around it isn’t
quiteso lonesome; but it’s bad enough.
My station for a number of years was
a rock about 200 feet long and 100
feet wide, and in a gale of wind the
house stood right ngui in 1 U the water rtter, with
the seas rolling all round. Yes, it

“One night,” continued the speaker,
“I remember some fishermen got
blowed off shore and came in there,
and what a night it was! About mid
night some one sings out, ‘The lamp’s
out. And so it was. Lpwe ruslied,
half a dozen of us, scared to death, as
lues and a vessel 2d"eS'wS could come within
twenty foot of our house before she
struck. By the time we got up we
found the place full of smoke and
see something: had fouled the chimney,
,md what d'ye oppose it ™1
You’d never guess. It was blow
ing fit to take the buttons right off
your coat; but someone had to go out
side ami climb up the Tod on the very
top of the light pud see what was the
trouble. It was a close call and we
tossed for it My mate drew and
started. We tied a rope around him
and up he went and did the job. He
came hack alive, hut with the whitest
lace I ever see on a lne man. He
said he wouldn’t do it again for love
or money.
-Bet what d'ye suppose he found in
the chimney, stuck fast? Nothing
more nor less than one of these’ere

“You can hardly imagine such a
sight,” said the lighthouse keeper. “I
remember remember one one night ni.rhr late i.tc in in .September v,, . u.
there was what we call a dry fog, the
kind that gleams and looks bright
sometimes without a light. I went
out om on on the me walk warn amnnd around th« t he i light, bt
thinking 1 heard a curious noise, and
the minute I got out I tell you I was
takenback. Tb.re vver e th»,, s aad» of
birds, I should say, darting about in
the luminous fog, with a light dancing
on their backs and wings, so it re
minded me of insects about a lamp,
The roar of their wings and their cries
was such that you couldn’t liea, your
se speak, and I hung on to the rail
almost crazy from the uproar. But I
came to mighty quick, I tell you, for
a l e _ /» irst . iLj ing I -j knew i I T got knock
a
on the bead, a bird taking me right
side of the neck; then, as I turned,
ano cr s rue v me in the back, and I
don t doubt but that 1 d have been
fairly bombarded off if I hadn’t got in.
The birds kept it up all night and in
ills ie niArninw morning « recounted over 600 dead
at tae foot of the lighthouse. They
were of all kinds-sparrows, hawks,
*
robins r and most y duck . . and , snipe, .
birds that travelled along the shore
going south. \ou see, they had seen
the light, and getting confused ran
right into it. One night we were sit
tingat dinner, when the first thing
« *»• .to*- w,nt will, a
crash, and some big thing came whiz
zing and sprawling across the table,
hitting my man fairly in the chest and
knocking him clean out of his chair,
It was a duck that had seen the light
and came a-pounding through the
MinJow. ,i,„ pl „„ g Oral on th. „,H,,
“Wrecks sometimes come in, but it
ain’t often if the light is kept up. In
on. light I ,™ w. go, .hot „„ .
gale ot wind and had to stand right
by the light to keep it a-going ; but
out it finally went; something ® got
wrong with ... the machinery.
After a
while we thought we heard a yell, and
going down we manage,1 to get out,
ana and there tfiere was wis-ilirirr a brig hard hirt and , e fast, ,
with her bowsprit sticking a good ten
foot over the rocks, and on it the crew
came ashore, jest like a Iralge ° ’ not
one of f . cm getting ... lost. . It wasn’t
our fault, as they couldn’t have seen
th. ,, B :„ aavtv.v. a,.

such a black fog running. Before the

The story is circumstantially told
by the London
baronet, watching to catch tire thief
who nightly stole eggs from his pantry,
saw rats removing them by an ingeni

with all his legs, turned cn his back
and was drawn off with h s !oal by

A most successful butter-making
dairyman, who keeps a large herd,
,aj, „( the best average rations
he has tried is; One quart Indian
meal, 2 quarts each of oatmeal and
wheat bran and 1 pint oil meal. This
should be mixed with about halts
bushei of cut hay and well moistened
with water before feeding He gives
this ration night and morning-to
cows of medium size-in addition to
what hay they may eat, of which
clover i, heel, if cat just aa it is com
ing into blossom, and cured so that all
the leaves adhere to the stems when
transported to tbe bnrn and mowed
away. Larger or so,.Her cow, require
correspondingly less or more. O,
course when in good pasture, or
abundantly aouna< * Ql v soiled soiilu, nf neither liner meal meal nor nor
bran is necessary, but if scant then
they should be fed whatever they may
need of these to keep up flow of milk.
It would be better to grind . the , corn
and oais together, at the rate of one
bushel of the former to two of the
latter alter, and and then then iniv inix three thrpe quarts finarls nf of
this provender to two quarts of wheat
bran and one pint 1 of oil meal for the
ration. Instead , , of oil meal , some sub- ,
stitute ... . cotton-seed .. , meal, ....... but the lat
ter does not atrree well with all cows
and being richer and heartierthan the
iorraer, former it ll might migni be lie safer sarer to 10 begin uegin
with a gill or half-pint night and
morning, and watch its effects before
increasing the dose All grass for hay y
, for cows should , ,,, be cut . not . later , . than ..
when just coming into blossom; some
dairymen say it is better to cut before
this this, and and then then it it will will make make yellow vellow but but
ter all winter, the same as grass pas
ture in summer.— A. B. Allen.

AVe have much yet to learn in regard
to the profitable’keeping of poultry
upon farms The French farmers gen
erally, and some of tbe English, sur
pass us in their methods in this re
.pect. Ihe following account o, how
fowls are kept upon an English farm
contains some valuable hints;
“The fowls are divided into families
and . spread in all over farm, .... llus . is so
far done that it is necessary to walk
between three and four miles in order
to see ail the various flocks. Yearly
every large field has a small poultry
house in it with a pen of fowls, and in
some of the largest f fields there area
couple tet of these houses. Of couse they ,
are put as widely apart as possible.and
where there are two in one field these
are placed , at the extreme limits. .
There is no fencing or wire netting
used to form runs, and the birds have
the fullest liberty. The farm is
ded about with line large threes, prin
cipally elms, and these give Je splendid
shelter to the fuwls. CatU, k e|
in tho fields, and the only attention
tho birds get or need is to bo fed and
have their houses cleaned daily,
moved occasionally. Each flock, gen
erally a distinct breed, appears to
to its own company, and it is the rar
«t thing for » bird ot on. lot to
found mixing with any of the others.
The houses are movable ones, so made
that th.y ... Ubfted and oarti.d b,
a couple of men, handles being pro
vided for the purpose. These houses
are of home erection, and roughly put
j * *
together, but are well and substantially
made. They tug." star d upon legs sLter about
two feet thus giving a lo
the „ , birds , below. , . .... Ihe inmates .' , reach ,
the house by a ladder. Every day
flocks are carefully looked over to see
if anv are missing or wneuier whether any an>
‘
show symptoms of disease; hut the lat
ter is very rare indeed. The hardv,
Daturai ». y which they
and the common sense fashion of feed
ing make disease more conspicuous l,y
it* absence than its presence. In two

throughout, in no case are the poultry
allowed to interfere with the regular

which would otherwise be needed.”

j It was formerly claimed by some
that feeding oats to young colts ruined
their feet, but that idea has exploded,
There is much less danger of injury
; to the feet than the stomach from
.
overfeeding, and as a rule more atom
achs suffer for the want of grain than
overeating. The quantity of grain
that can be profitably fed to a wean
ling by farmers in the country where
hay is worth only from $10 to $12 per
ton, and where the colt must depend
solely on pasturage from May till Xo
vember, and perhaps later, can not be
! determined by the quantity fed by
