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 w «» hak * “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?

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.

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,. ing about the house so. and there was such a black fog running.

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.

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 those breeders whose colts are entered . and . q of . to trot at “ * yeRr3 g ’ M ' dl have pleaty cf , dU .
