Hog cholera in hogs, and founder
in horses, may be attributed to the
manner of feeding corn, and it has
been demonstrated that hogs will make
greater gain in weight upon mixed
food, with corn as a leading ingredient,
than on corn alone, as they remain in
better health, and digest their food
more easily.-CJ Cleveland Leader.
Cookies Without Rolling: Make
stiff dough, take pieces about the size
of an egg, and roll into ball in the
hands; then flatten slightly towards
the edges, leaving them thick in the
middle, making small and very smooth.

they look when baked, and it saves

Every one has cure for sore
throat, but simple remedies appear to
be most etfectual. Salt and water is
used by many as a gargle. but little
alum and honey dissolved in sage tea
is better. An application of cloths
wrung out of hot water and applied to
the neck, changing as often as they be-
gin to cool, is recommended for re-
moving inflammation. 1t should be
kept up for number of hours; during
the evening is the usually most conven-
lent time for applying this remedy

A FIERCE STORM.
The Remarkable Phenonemons Witnessed
on the San Miguel River.

on the San Miguel River.
"Some ten years ago." said veteran
prospector, II was travelling on foot
from Ouray, in the San Juan, across
the country at the head of the San
Miguel river. The time was in the
forenoon of an autumn day, and dense,
mass of threatened clouds were rolling
up in the west over the Western San
Phillipo Range. | was in a hurry to
cross the Fish lakes, and concluded to
90 up through Bear creek, a stream
putting in the San Miguel from the
south. The stream headed in a semi
circular basin bounded by immense
precipices of basaltic rock, at whose
base were vast quantities of broken
rock, varying in size from the bowlder
weighing a few pounds to masses of
many tons in weight.
How these rocks came in that posi-
ton was a source of inquiry to me, but
[ had an opportunity of solving the
mystery before reached the summit of
the divide l intended to cross. The
clouds [ spoke of seeing in the west
had in the meantime come rolling up
and accommodating in size and density,
also becoming darker and more heavily
charged with electricity. Thunder rolled
and lightning flashes played above and
below, and it seemed as if all heavens
artillery was concentrated at this par
ticular point. Instead of rising high
in mid-air the clouds rose Just high
enough to clear the tops of the dense
forests that lined the approaches to
Mount Wilson.
feared to proceed, and sought shell
ter beneath huge pile of rocks about
the center of the area, and some half
mile from the south end of the semi
circular basin mentioned In less time
than | have been writing these notes
the clouds swept eastward with i'm
mense velocity. The low altitude
which they maintained was not great
enough to clear the precipice on the
east side of the basin, and they swept
against it with terrific force. There
was such a vast weight of water con-
tanned in them that the conclusion
when the clouds struck the precipice
was so great that immense quantities
of rock were broken off, and fell with a
shock like an earthquake to the foot
of the cliff. Like a battering-ram the
body of clouds was thrown back and
again advanced until three distinct
blows were struck at the cliff. By this
time the water was pouring over the
mountain in Niagara-like flood,
bringing down additional quantities of
rock. The occurrence lasted only
few minutes, but in this time it was
easy to perceive how the masses of de-
bris were placed in the position they
occupied. The storm was over, the air
cleared up, and was able to pursue
the projected journey. -DenUer Meas.

EARLY CHICKS.
Advantages Which No Intelligent Poultry
Raiser Will Neglect.

The advantages of Matching chicks
early can not be over-estimated.
Chicks that are Matched late bring late
prices, and chicks that come out of the
shell this month and get in market as
broilers, bring as high prices as grown
fowls.
Phe objections urged against early
chicks are that they give too much
trouble, and that those Matched late
lave the privilege of grass runs, and
take partial care of themselves. And
so they do. They are raised much
more easily than those Matched this
month, but our readers should remem-
Der that it is not the chicks that bring
the best prices, but the trouble. When
ever chicks are raised without effort
the cost is, of course, q small item, but
the time is then occupied by hundreds
who also prefer to perform as little la
Dor as possible, and the consequence
is that chicks are thrust on the market
by thousands, only to depress the mar
ket and cause the oft-repeated asser-
ton that poultry does not pay. But
early chicks do pay, however, but
they pay only for that which
is expended and bestowed upon
them by the attendant. 1t is claimed,
again, that labor is labor, and may as
we'll be expended in one direction as
another without dey citing it to early
chicks. That is true, but unemployed
labor is waste, and if, in winter, a
large number of chicks can be grown
for market, there will be a saving of
wasted labor, and the aOdgeS will be
trebled on account of the better prices
derived for labor in that shape.
Early chicks are often worth, in
April, as much as eighty cents pound,
and they are sold when about one
pound and Il quarter in weight. 1t
requires no figures to show that, aside
from the care, the actual cost of food
is small item. No doubt, a large
number of eggs may be required for
the purpose of Matching fair per-
centage of chicks, but this item of loss
may also be added without fear of
diminishing the proportion of profit to
be procured when the chicks are
marketed. Early chicks are always
salable, and it costs more to raise
chicks to the weight of two pounds at
twenty-five cents u pound in price than
it does to raise one to a pound, and
with double the market price. The
real difference, as is plainly apparent,
is four times as much us the other

GRATITUDE TO A DOG.
An Invalid Lady's Memorial of a Faith
full Pet.

Iul EeU'
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals recently received
the following letter from an invalid
lady, who wishes to make her gratitude
of practical value:
Enclosed find check for one thou
sand dollars, which sum, through you,
! offer to the acceptance of the Massa-
chusetts Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, as grateful me-
mortal of my dog, who through four
teen years of seclusion and pain has
been my constant, faithful, devoted
friend aud companion"
If all whose lives had been made
happier by dumb creatures would i'm
itate the example of this good lady, the
Massachusetts society would have the
means not only of vastly increasing its
work in our own State, but also of
reaching out a helping hand to stop the
abuses by which hundreds of thousands
of animals annually die on our cattle
cars, and other hundreds of thousands
die In our extreme western and south
ern States and Territories Qfneglect and
starvation, and other hundreds of thou
sands die in slaughter houses with great
and suffering. The sending
of checks, or the calling at the rooms
of the society and having without cost
legacy added to will, or giving the
society the use of money on condition
that it shall be repaid, if ever needed
by the giver-these are forms of prac-
teal gratitude which will give material
aid to the men who without pecuniary
reward are now giving heart, brain
and energy to the protection of dumb
animals. Boston Transcript.

RAPID TRANSPORTATION.
The Factor Which Has Produced an Era
of Cheapness.

The economies brought about by
cheap and rapid transportation, as well
as the inventions which add to the re-
suits of human labor, is working to the
disadvantage of the agriculturists of
the hitherto favored nations. Time was
when the "beef of old England would
command higher prices, but the killing
of cattle in distant regions, such as
South America, Australia and New Zea-
land-the freezing of the dead meat
and its transportation to western
Europe in swift steamships--has ruined
cattle at home, and the consequence is
that the cattle of eastern United States
as well as western Europe, will not be
worth more intrinsically than the cattle
at the Antipodes. In other words, the
world hereafter will have all the beef,
mutton and hog flesh it can use at
steadily cheapening prices. What !
true of meat has been true some yc.a,s
past of wheat. The old-time f.Srlres q
