The Mississippi River.

Some interesting and extraordin-
ary data have beencompiled respect
ing the Mississippi. 1t appears that
it boasts no fewer than fifty-five trib-
utary streams, with a total length of
navigation of 1851 miles, or about
two-thirds Of the distance around the
world. Even this, however, repre-
sents but small amount of the nav
igation which will follow when the
Federal Government has made the
contemplated improvements in the
Upper Mississippi, in the Minnesota,
Wisconsin and other rivers, in which
IT is now engaged. But while the
Mississippi has l6, ,57l miles to steam
boats, it has 2O,221 miles navigable
to barges. This navigation is divid-
ed between twenty-five States and
Territories in the following proper
tions: Louisiana, $500 miles Ar
kansas, 2,lOO miles; Mississippi, l.
$50 miles; Montana, 1910 miles /;
Dakata, 1880 miles Illinois, l,27O
miles Tennessee, 1890 miles Ken
lucky, 1,26O miles; Indiana, $40
miles Iowa, $50 miles Indian Ter
ritOry, 72O miles; Minnesota, $50
miles; Wisconsin, $50 miles Ohio,
$50 miles; Texas, 40 miles; Ne
braska, 400 miles; West Virginia,
800 miles Pennsylvania, $50 miles ;
Kansas, 24O miles; Alabama, 200
miles; and New York, 20 miles.
Nearly all sections of these States
and Territories can be reached with
ease. Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis-
sippl, Montana, Dakota and the In
dian Territory possess more miles Of
navigable stream than miles of rail-
road, all Of which are open to every
body who wishes to engage in COM

The Oldest Historians.

HerOdOtus IS the oldest Of the
Greek historians. He was born 4sI
B. c. He Is generally recognized as
the father Of history. BerOsus was
an educated priest Of Babylon, who
lived about $50 B. G., and wrote in
Greek three books Of BabylOnian-
Chaldean history, the materials for
which he declares he found in the
ancient archives Of Babylon. Man
ethO was an Egyptian historian, Of
the priestly Or'ler, who lived in the
reign Of PtOlemy Softer, in the be-
ginning Of the third century Il. C..
lie, too, obtained the material for
his works from the temple records
at his command, from which he
wrote two works, one on thereligion
and the other on the history of
Egypt. Only fragments Of the writ
ing Of BOrOsus and MancthO remain
preserved in the works Of JO-
sephus, Eusebius and other later
writers. There are historical records
on the ancient monuments Of Egypt,
Babylon and Assyria which date
hack to earlier days, but, except the
historical books Of the Old Testa-
mcnt, beginning with those Of Moses
(who was horn I7sSB. C.), and some
Of the writings Of Confucius CbOrn
55l b. c., there is nothing antedat-
ing the writings Of HerOdOtus that
is regarded as history.

Bones for Poultry.

Poultry breeders do not seem to
appreciate the great value of bones
for their fowls, and but limited few
ever make use of them for this pur-
pose. No matter whether the birds
are confined or not, theyare sure to be
benefited by moderate quantity Of
bones, though those which are kept
in close confinement need them
most. Nearly every family Of any
size have refuse bones enough from
the kitchen to afford the poultry
quite treat from time to time, and
when this is not the case, or when
the supply runs short, enough can be
procured each week from the near
est butcher at very small price,
many butchers being glad to give
them away to get rid Of them. These
can be crushed by using alarge stone
and a heavy hammer, though there
is now very good and cheap mill
made for the purpose-costing but
So without legs and 81 with legs
which pays for itself several times
over during the season, where large
fiocks of fowls are kept, as it not only
grinds and crushes bone, but also
oyster shells, corn, etc. The bones
crush best when dry, and should be
reduced to about the size Of a small
pea. They are put in small trOughs
or boxes, under cover, where the
fowls can eat what they want and to
suit their pleasure.-P0ultry.

Now and Then.

In 1916 one bushel of corn would
buy one pound Of nails. In 1888 one
busheI OF corn will buy fifteen pounds
of nails. In 1916 it took from twenty
to thirty dozen Of eggs to buy one
bushel of salt. In 1883 one dozen Of
eggs will do the same thing. In
1916 ii required sixty-fOur bushels Of
barley to buy one yard Of brOadcloth.
In 1888 five bushels will do the bus;-
ness. In 1916 it required one bushel
of wheat to purchase one yard Of
calico. In 1888 one bushel Of wheat
will purchase thirty-five yards Of a
better article. In 1916 a pair of
wooden blankets cost as much as a
COW. In 1888 a COW will buy from
six to twenty, superior in every way.

Health and Science.


A good many years ago an epi-
demic of disease was supposed to be
"visitation," or "Judgment," and
prayers were offered up that its pro-
gress might be stayed. Nowadays,
when individuals or neighborhoods
are attacked with typhus fever, dip.
iberia, or any one Of the long range
of malarial disorders, there is an i'm
mediate inquiry as to the condition
of that house, or that neighborhood,
and the disease is traced to its source
OF rotten vegetation, putrid filth,
foul air, bad drainage, or some other
Of the uncleanly causes Of zymotic
disease.
For this advance we have to thank
physiological and sanitary science,
but it will not help us much to know
thing unless we act upon our know
ledge. 1t will not get rid of the
causes of disease to know what those
causes are, unless we go vigorously
to work to .cOunteract them. 1t has
been ascertained now beyond a doubt
that infectious disease is primarily
occasiOned by living germs-that
these germs have their origin in
dirt, Overcrowding, bad air, putrid
vegetation, imperfect drainage and
the like conditions. 1t makes no
difference whether these conditions
are found in tenement house, cottage
or palace-in the streets of the city,
or the green lanes of the country,
the result is the same-it Is sickness
and death.
1t is not entirely gratifying thing
to lazy, irresponsible people to find
that health, and the best conditions
for Ewing useful and reasonably
happy lives, are within their own
power, and that they are responsible
for their fulfillment 1t is so much
easier to keep on in the old way, to
pile up refuse, to let the drainage go,
to build a house like a soap box, and
transfer the consequences to the
shoulders of Providence, or the AL
mighty. But it is too late to do this
now. Providence has been RESPONSE
Bile for the results Of our shortcOm-
ings long enough, science has dis
covered that they are within our
control, and that it is our business
first to discover what the laws are
that govern health and disease, and
then adapt ourselves and our cir
cumstances TO the obligations they
impose.
There is no occasion, in the nature
Of things, for persons to be born dis
eased, or die prematurcly. a pure
and temperate life, in heaithy+ura-
tiOn, and amid healthy surroundings,
are fair guarantees for Il green old
age.-DeIhOresrs Monthly

The Management of Horses.

A horse may live and work for
thirty years. Usually at half that
age he is worn out and of little value,
If, indeed, he has not already sue
cumbed to his fate. On the aver
age the useful life of a horse is re-
duced onc-half by neglect; not will
full, but thoughtless. And yet it IS
so easy to care'for this noble servant
and friend. A little care, a little
wltchfulneSs, few moments daily
devoted to his comfort, would dOu-
bic the length of his life. The first
fault is in Over-feeding or improper
food. a horses stomach is small
and its food requires to he nutritious
and concentrated: Its digestion is
not so vigorous as that of an OK, and
it requires more delicate. feeding.
Its constitution is nervous and mus
cular, and its temperament active
and sanguine. 1t therefore needs
heterogeneous rather than caEl,Ona-
cerOus food, and oats, harley, bran and
hay are more suitable than corn and
coarse fodder. But corn is excel
lent food if it is not given in excess,
and a mixture Of corn and oats
makes the grain food on the whole.
But the food must be clean and
sound, or the stomach is disOrdered,
and plenty of time should be given
for the thorough mastication Of the
food. An equally common fault is
in orer-watering, or giving water at
IND proper times. A horses stomach
is small-smaller relatively to the
size of the body than that Of a man,
and it absorbs water with great rap
idity. When the stomach is filled
with water, digestion cannot 60 on.
For these reasons water should al
ways be given to a horse in small
quantities, never more than three
gallons at any one time, and not
more than half Us much usually, and
never soon after eating, but always
before the feed if five minutes only,
intervene, that is sufficient for the
absorption. And water should never
be given in larger quantities than a
quart when a horse is very warm.
In lodging horse many mistakes is
made. A stable should not be too
warm nor too cold. 1t should be
free from drafts of cold air ; it should
he drained, kept clean and free from
pungent odorS the light should
come from the front, hut the window
should be high up and shaded; F.; no
dust from above should fall into it,
and it should be well ventilated.
These are the major requisites, and
if any owner will secure these, he
will necessarily provide all the rest.
Much mischief is done in shOeing.
"NO foot, no horse" is an old and
trite, but true saying, and every
owner of horse should study the
horses feet. a true friend of the
horse will never permit its feet to be
carved and cut of shape, or the cush-
ion provided by nature to protect the
sole-the frog-to be pared away un-
til the feet are left without pro-
lection.

Farmers should teach those pre-

blindness. That is a disease of the

TIE FISHER GOLD MILL.
Running Steadily on Ore From the Fish
er Mine-A Success.

We learn from james Kellogg, a well
known pioneer OF Wood and Salmon
rivers, just down from the Pig Tail
district, that the Fisher stamp gold
mill erected at the Fisher mine by
Duckdale & Sheron, has been running
steadily for several weeks. and consnm-
ing an average of five tons daily. The
mill, run by steam power, is located IS
feet from the mine, and, being lower IN
elevation, is connected with the same
by tramway or chute. Timber, water
and everything necessary to operate the
mill being abundant, its success de-
spends simply upon the output of the
mine. Messrs. Duckdale ( Sheron, the
owners, have a small crew to work on
the mine, which has SO far yielded hand
somely, furnishing an abundant supply
to the mill. They have laid iii a large
amount of winter supplies, and will con-
tinue operations without cessation.
The Fisher mine bears gold quartz
ledge OF several feet. containing an ore
vein OF from II to Is inches that yields
an average value in gold of from 800 to
$40 per ton. The ore is very easy
milled the mining and milling opera
ton, though on light scale, is the
handsomest paying operation in the
country. The capital invested is COM
paratively nothing. and the dividend is
constant and good. Tho owners are
gradually making a fortune. The work
is a revival OF early gold days in the
Rocky Mountains; little outlay ind
large profits with each cleanup.
