founded December aoth 1875, and was the first

West. AT the end of its first year it had achieved
circulation Of about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable. 1t now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement Of circulation
for the year 1884 shows daily average Of I25,l7S
copies, unquestonably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. (The sworn state

Hens i'm Winter.

A correspondent in West Quincy,
Mass, writes to the Mirror: " When
the snow is knee-deep and everything
sealed with ice hens will require the
best of care. A hen is as helpless in
the snow as though she had no legs at
all. She must have some place, how
ever, where food, water and the dust
bath are accessible, for she will not lay
if compelled to crouch on the floor be-
meath the roosts. With snow on the
ground the world is wilderness to
hens. They have no inducement to
lay and will quickly defer egg produce
ton until spring invites them to begin.
The food at such times should be given
warm and on boards. A clean place
should be made for them and the house
rendered as comfortable as possible.
The main factors in egg production in
winter are warmth and dryness. 1t
may involve labor to remove enough
snow to afford them room, but it must
be done or there will be no eggs. When
snow is on the ground hens prefer to
be in the open air during the daytime,
and their health is greatly improved
thereby, Oats, rye and corn make one

this is done the hens will keep in con-
dition and lay in the coolest weather.

this is done the hens will keep in con-
dition and lay in the coolest weather.
KEEP THE FLOORS BUSTED.
There is no necessity for being COM
PEELED to scrape the floors when clean
ing the poultry-house. The best and
warmest floors are of boards, as they
keep the feet from being frosted by
preventing dampness. They are nui-
sance unless we'll busted with plaster
or dry earth every time they are cleaned
out. The proper way to clean out a
poultry-house is to sweep the floor with
a broom, and this is very easy matter
when there is half an inch of dust of
some kind on il, which absorbs the
moisture from the droppings and pre-
vents them from sticking to the floor.
The dust may also be mixed with the
droppings to preserve them, storing the
whole in dry place.
MIXING THE BREEDS.
1t is claimed that by mixing the
breeds (crossing) vigor and hardness
are impaired to the flock, which is true
to certain extent, but this does not
infer that mixing the breeds must be
done Unfortunately or without judg-
ment. 1t is just as important to cross
for some definite purpose as it is to
keep pure breeds. Unless it is known
that an actual benefit will be the result
crossing should not be resorted to at all,
but when the birds are allowed to run
together-of all sorts and all Characters
tics, with several roosters in the flock of
different breeds-the poultryman knows
no more about what he is doing than if
he trusted entirely to chance. Mixing
the breeds means that it must be done
to accomplish some object. He should
select his roosters and use only one
breed at time. Even if the flock of
hens are of the dunghill variety he
should select the best and mate them
with pure breed cock in order to know
just what kind of chicks will be Matched
and to have them uniform. To turn
out a lot of mixed hens with a few

boxes and every particle of wood that
comes in direct contact should be
sprinkled every time the house is
cleaned out with common kerosene.
The food must be of varied nature,
not too much soft feed, by any means,
never above once a day and always in
the morning-never at night. They
must have old lime, gravel, sand, etc. +,
to keep the grinding-mill in order. The
feed should be wheat, oats, barley and
about one-ffth corn. This, with table
bits, a soft mixture of corn-meal, etc. +,
well seasoned, will constitute good feed
ing. The fowls, in addition to this,
must have a good supply once week
of onions and cabbage chopped WELL
A little red pepper is good seasoning.

ROSTERS of no merit and of different
kinds is no crossing at all, but simply
hap-hazard breeding.
DROPPING COMBS.
The comb will always indicate the
health of the birds. When it is erect
and of bright scarlet color the bird is
in perfect health. When it is dark,
black or pale it indicates that some
thing is wrong. When the comb that
is usually erect drops over to one side
the chances are that the bird is sick.
a pale comb is not always an alarming
symptom, but when the comb becomes
black or very dark, shrivels and drops,
the bird soon weakens and is in dan
gerous condition. The first sign of re-
covery is also shown in the comb, as it
begins to turn red as soon as the bird is
better. Red combs also indicate lay
ing on the part of the hens and pullets.
SELLING AT THE STORE.
The favorite remark of the country
store-keeper is: " Support your own To-
cality." This is we'll enough, but you
have as much claim to support as the
store-keeper, and there is no reason
why the locality should support him
any more than he should do his part to
support it; hence if he expects you to
buy your goods from him and pay more
than city prices he should not require
you to take less than city prices for eggs
when trading with him.

GIVE PLENTY OF LIGHT.

You cannot give too much light in
the poultry-house during the day, as
there is nothing the hens detest so much
as gloom or darkness. No matter how
comfortable the hen-house may be the
birds will go outside during all kinds
of weather rather than remain where
there is lack of cheerfulness. Plenty
of glass allows not only light but
heat, and if the house is light and
dust-bath placed near the window the
hens will take advantage of it. They
also prefer pure air; hence leave the
doors open, but allow no draughts. If

POultry.R RAISING.

We give this week considerable space
to the poultry interest. The follow
ing extracts are from the Mirror and
Farmer:
FEEDING SOFT FOOD.
1t is best to vary the soft food.
Feeding the same thing every morning
is not as beneficial as giving different
kind, and yet to vary the food need not
cause any real change in the food itself.
The hens are very partial to variety
and keep in better condition when given

corn and oats, and bran and shorts are
usually fed. The ground corn and oats
may be scalded and fed the first morn
ing, bran 1.-TWO parts) and shorts Zone
parD may be mixed and fed the second
morning and next ground corn, oats
and bran, with ground corn, oats and
shorts next Here we have four varie-
ties on as many different occasions
Shorts (known also as mddlings or
shipstufD are too glutinous or sticky to
be fed alone, and for that reason are
best fed in connection with something
else. This mode gives change of
food, and the same course may be pur-
sued with whole grains by feeding
wheat one day and oats the next, fol-
lowed by buckwheat or barley, with an
occasional diet of corn on very cold
days. Even the green food may be va

THE Moseley & Stoddard Manufac-
turing Company of Poultney, VT, were
awarded gold medal at the Piedmont
exhibition, Atlanta, Ga, for their cele-
brated Stoddard creamery with surface
skinner. AT the urgent solicitation of
the managers this company furnished
the complete outfit of the working
dairy, and this selection was no doubt
the result of the commendable exhibit
at the New York dairy and cattle show,
where the goods were also used in the
model or working dairy. At Atlanta
an elegant building was specially
erected by the exposition and the
process of butter-making carried on
daily. The Atlanta Constitution says:

Hens a Care.

No domestic animal needs more care
at this season than poultry. There can
be no use in wintering hens unless
they are source of profit. There can not
be any profit in them unless they are in
a good, healthy condition. They can
not be kept in such condition without
good care and attention. This consists
in thorough cleanliness in all things.
If in confined place it should be
cleaned out every day, or at least every
other day. The perches, floors, nest

What a Time,

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film Of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar plums" II the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. Z. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
n. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George E. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used

HADJI HUssEIN GOULY KHAN,
MINISTER FROM PERSIA TO THE
UNITED STATES.

For the first time in the history of
the United States the old and famous
empire Of Persia has sent an accredited
envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipoten tiary to the young republic
of the west. That gO-ahead young
diplomat, Mr.. f. Spencer Pratt, the
United States minister-resident at the
court Of Teheran, has been instrument
tai mainly, in inducing the Shah's
government to send diplomatic rep
resentative to the American Union.
Two previous United States ministers
to the Persian court failed to do this.
Out of courtesy to the Shah, if not to
Mr.. Pratt's success as a diplomat the
United States government will be
compelled to return the great pOten-
tate's compliment, and raise the
Persian mission to the grade of envoy
and plenipotentiary.
The new envoy and minister from
Persia, Hadji Hussein Gouly Khan, is
n native of Teheran, and forty hot
Persian summers have passed over
his head. He was educated in Persia,
and speaks fuently three languages
Persian, Arabic and French, and these
at times with great volubility. At an
early age he entered the government
civil service. Some years afterward
he was made President of the Court of
Justice at Ispahan. From there he
was transferred to the Ministry of
Finance. But his love for the diplO-
matte service caused him 70 enter the
Foreign Office, in which he soon rose
to the position of second secretary for
foreign affairs. 1t being decreed neces-
sary, on account of the large number
of Persian subjects domiciled in
India, to have representative, Hadji
Hussein Gouly Kahn was selected for
the mission, and thereupon appointed
consul general to India in 1885, with
headquarters at Bombay. He made
himself quite popular there in his
social and official character with all
classes of its diversified population.
The Shah desiring in the meantime
to establish legation at the capital
of the United States, the Foreign
office promoted Hadji Hussein Gouly
Khan to be envoy and minister plen-
ipotentiary to Washington. On the
third of October he presented his Gre
dentials to President Cleveland at the
executive mansion, and was received
with all due formality as the repres-
entative of his August majesty, the
Shah of Persia.
Hadji Hussein Gouly Khan is a
very pleasant gentleman, little be-
low the medium height, and has an
olive complexion. He dresses in the
Eastern costume and is always seen
in or outdoors wearing the fez cap,
even at his meals, as is the custom in
the east. He is much pleased with
America and desires to enlarge COM
mercal and social intercourse be-
tween the two countries. The minis
ter is accompanied by DR.. Torronce,
u citizen Of Chicago, but for some
wears q resident at Teheran, as coun-
selor of legation; Mira Mahmoud
Khan, private secretary, and a Per-
sian valet about eighteen years old.
His excellency has leased furnished
house in the fashionable northwest
section of Washington, and has be.
gun housekeeping in the American
way. All hail to Hadji!

The impression in the gun
club article" last night is that
the Fair Association were rude and
impolite to the gun club. The fact OF
the case is: we have not the room
now, or later; that the cattle, horses
and people during fair time, would be
more or less frightened by the reports
of the guns. We had expected after
our cleaning up of the grounds 20
secure loads of room, but we are so
forced for time and want what room
we cleaned out for legitimate.purposes,
that we could not encourage them at
present. Next year it may be quite
different. Nor could we give them
any help, when every cent that we
can raise is to be paid out for the inn
prOvemeHts now under way.

WHY He Is a Republican

Before a large and enthusiastic meeting
of workingmen held at Emery Hall in
Oakland last Saturday night, Major p. s.
Dorney, President of the Irish-American
Republican Club of Los Angeles, gave, in
the course of his address the following as
the reasons why lie left the Democratic
party:
" | left the Democratic party because
am an Irishman. | have left it because it
has left me and mine and gone over to the
interest of the English oIigarchy-gone
over to the interest of such lovers of Ire
land and such enemies of republican gov
eminent as Lord Sackville West and his
kind. ] have left the Democratic party
because it is factious and sectional. and
because it is the only American political
faction with which and through which the
hereditary enemies of my native, as well
rs the enemies of my adopted land, ever
sought TO gain their ends Because | was
reared mechanic | have left the Demo-
cratic party. | have left it because to
serve the cheap labor interests of the
South it has been forced to champion a
commercial and fiscal policy, the success of
which must result in cheapeRing the labor
of North, in bringing the weri1ingmen and
workinswomen of the North nearer to the
labor level of the masteriess slaves of the
seath and the starving toilers Of England,
rthat must result in draining eur country of
Its coin for the benefit of the cotton nabobs
of Dixie, the loom lords of Manchester,
the iron and steel makers OF Sheffield, the
mine masters of Northumberland and
Cornwall, the boot and shoe bosses of
Southampton, tie ship-builders of Belfast
and the Clyde, ard the swarming merchant
marine of Great Britain"
