CICKENs tVerSte 'b'.here As between the nations'of this globe a con tinual warfare even when they do not shoot or sabre each other. For while actual fighting with guns anri swords may cease at some distant time, even the millennium would not do away with competion. And -competion in the ordinary walks of life would de stroy the weak and lead to a survival of the fittest, that is to say, the-strong ost and nostgifted. As With hunian beings so with ani nais and plants, nature is a stern task master. Only those are allowed to increase which are capable of improve ment and oven of rapid improvement. If they'fall in the development of their physical and mental faculties, they are soon replaced by other animals, or liants which have outstripped them in the universal race for perfection. Now among the donsticated ant. nials, the pig has been hitherto con sidered the consumer of garbage par excellence and is kept and tolerated mainly for thisreason. Twenty years ago the rabbit was brought forward in competition, but it wias not a suecess. Francc certainly adopted rabbits and turned a cold shoulder to the fat and dirty pachyderm but the swine did not care. If Frenchmen lived on rabbits pork retiained its sway nearly every where else and they grunted deliance alike at the tidy little rabbits and their polite protectors. What else might be expected of frog-eaters like them ? Lot them take their custom elsewhere and welcome. People with sense and a digestion would require pork for ever and aye; Americans, Englishmni and Germans would know how to ap'reci ate its merits. The pigs xeally held their own In the market as well as in argument. But of late there is a fresh stir among thom, for another ainimal is pushing them hard in the struggle for the post of honor among the vlands whieh are daily converted into hunman beauty, human energy, human intelligence by the prbeeses of mastleation and diges tion throughout this broad land of ours. The leathered birds, ducks, geese and turkeys. and cspecially chickens have entered the lists against them and lustily crow a challenge for the position on the national bill of fare which has been for goerations con sidered is being above the aspirations of even the most ambitious bIrds of iny family whatever. Poultry, as is well known, consume garbage quite as well' as pigs and mi uch moie thoroughly. Their personal qualities are in sotne respects less of Jensive and if some people cannot, statnd their morlin ig song, wily tChe lay of a tull-grown porker or the squeals of his sons and heirs are also far from agreeable to the human ear. The drawbacks therefore w*hich may be laid to the charge of the winged creatures are - comparatively light. However there is against, them one unlt in the character of birds that ought to be judged with more than liunman leniency - their 111gh tiness. It, is easy enough to herd swine. Lot them settle in soie convenient bog or marsh and they will not move out of it on their own account, for pigs are phlegmatic. But try to keel) chickens penned up in a yard be it over so nice! And it you could even keep them from sparring and runniag about your gar U86 cens and tearing up your favorite procelowers is there anything more tliflicult y or more trying than to make ieni hatch and bring up their chickens in a decent motherly wiay? tio tihe popular uminmd was badly dI yided in regard to the hogs versus chickens quecstlin until lately, say during the last live years, the chickeni cause nmas been helped onward b~y tile mocst marvellous discovery of artLi dual hatching or incubattoni. '.'ho result of it has been that, hieus are absolved from that pam tot their manternial dui~ies which has atlways in their. unnds(1 played the part oh a mental bugbcar, aind chickens may be brought, to this 111c at a rate whinch is really astonishing. Alrs. N. C. Grove Ironi Ardmore, Montgomnery Counity, Pennmsyivaniam, a lady who isarenowned for her way ox larmning chickens, writes to the Perl cc tion .Incubator Comipmiy at Phmiladel phia: "'Wo hatched out of your Incubator last fall 148 ociuika out of .175 08ss.

THI HOUSEHOLD.. HARD AND SOFT WATIU.-A11 houpe wives may not know how materially the effects of hard and soft water differ in the cookirg of various vegetables; whild one species of vegetables re quires hard or soft water, as the case way be, another specles becomes son sibly deteriorated by it For list-ince, peas pud b.eaus cooked in hard water. containg limo or gypsum, will no. boil tender because these substances harden vegetable casolue. In soft water they boll tender, and lose a cer tain raw, rank taste, which they re tain In hard water. Alany vege:ables (as -onions) boll nearly tasteless In soft water, oseause all the flavor is dissolved out. The addition of salt often cheeks this, as in the case with onions, causing the vegetables to re Lain their peuLiliar flavoring prinel ples, besides much nutrious matter which might be lost in soft water. Thus it appears that the 'salt hardens tue water to a degree. For extraotiig Mie juices of meant to nake a brotli or soup, soft water, un ilted and cold at firs,, is best, for It much imore readily penetrates the tissues; but for boiling meats where the juices should be re Lained, hard wAter is preferable, and tile meat should be put in while I, Is boiling 80 as to seal up1) the pores at onice.
