Washington special says: Those who
are familiar with the facts in the mat
ter say the resignation of the Collector
of the sitka port under pretense Of
fear Of the Indians is merely dodge of
those who want troops sent back to
Alaska. and that the new collector has
been bamboozled. The appropriation
committee have agreed to an army bill on
the basis Of 40. 900 men. The Republic
cans in the House will make q strong
fight in favor Of continuing the army
ut $4,000 and may get Democratic votes
enough to succeed. The Senate any
way will not agree to this resolution.
1t is probable the Senate will attend
the funeral of Morton in body, adj

LAMP SHADEs.-As we have been
tried and annoyed beyond endurance
with naner shades for kerosene lamps,
and with PORCELAIN shades, which are
but little more satisfactory than paper,
we ordered Il shade made OF tin, in form
like the eonical paper shades. A paner
shade has always cost from twenty-five
tn thirty cents. A tin shade as large us
ii papar shade cost twenty-five cents.
But we soan learned that the inner side
of the tin shade required acoatnf white
paint, MS the reflection of the bright tin
gave an unsatisfactory light. As the
light fell on the printed page, when ONE
was reading, the surface wonld he HI

spots that IT was extremely difficult to
read. Tut d coat of white paint nroyed

The outside 0f the shade was covered
with shellae varnish. Tie shade 0f II

lain shades and paper are more or less

to pass through them t0one's eyes. The
ewes should be kept from the rays of

were translucent. Let it he borne in

Improved Poultry.
TFroln the Rural SUM-

It is now pretty generally admitted
by most farmers that the improved
poultry pays as well in proportion as
the improved breeds of hogs or sheep
that is, on general 1rinciples. Of course
the great mass of poultry is raised and
sold by the farmers. No farmer can
longer afford to raise the common
chickens. If you can't have all full
bloods, get a thoroughbred rooster,
either a Cochin or a Brahma, and you
will be so well pleased with the cross
that you will soon work into full bloods:
They mature quicker, grow larger, sell
for more money, lay more eggs, but re-
quire d little more care. With warm,
clean, comfortable quarters, a variety
of feed, not too much corn, eggs may
be had all winter.
En~terprising farmers who have not
already got the improved breed OF
poultry on their farms should now pre-
pare suitable quarters for a few OF
these popular and profitable pets, for
you will be sure to get the poultry fever
if you attend the fall fairs; but when
you get the improved breeds don't try
to get fancy prices, unless you propose
going regularly into it, and take five
or ten years to learn how to breed them
successfully, and get a reputation as an
experienced breeder. But you don't
like to kill these fine chickens; only
keep out the best of them for breeding,
and sell them just as you did the others,
and y0n will find it will pay you one
hundred per cent. better to raise the
improved breeds of poultry for the
market than the old b%arn-yard variety.
It is the belief of the writer that
many of the diseases incident to poul-
try are due to neglectin providing them
with pure water; particularly do | be-
lieve such to be the case in the majority
Of instances where chicken cholera pre-
walls. The omission to furnish fowls
with suitable drinking water is OF
the worst features of cruelty to animals.
1t is a neglect that is decidedly adverse
to success, hence tends to diminish in
diyidual fancy for fowls, and works
detriment to the poultry interest.
Those whom we occasionally hear say
that "there is no profit in poultry" are
not qualified to have the management
of the same, and their attention may be
classed with the thriftless and neglected
parties who keep fowls that get drink
when it rains.
