4 THREATENED INVASION.

Prominent officials in the war department
and at the headquarters of the army place
but little credence in the story that 600
young Kansans viii invade Oklahor-a on the
lst of February next The generaI impe -
sion is that the resurrected movement is
gotten up solely for the purpose Of forcing
congress to pass the Oklahoma bill during
the first month Of the approaching session.
II, however, congress should not pass the
bill and the boomers enter the territory
there will be trouble. The Fifth and Seventh
cavalry are practically on tho ground, and
only a presidential proclamation would be
necessary to brinss the two opposing forces
into collision with each other.
EXPERT MONEY COUNTERS ARE SCARCE.
The president has approved q arecommenda-
tion made by the civil service commission
revoking the part OF the civil service rules
providing for the appointment upon non

IN the Office of the treasurer of the United
States, employed as expert money counters.
The attempts made to make appointments to
these places under this order satisfied the
commission that the duties OF these positions
could be learned elsewhere than in the posi-

done hard work every season since as the
result of the course of feeding described
as follows:

upland hay, ! determined 10 feel him
swamp hay with grain enough to make
tie quality e .ual to that of upland hay.
He is apparently a better horse to-
day than when bought him eight years
ago. His food has been dry meal or
feed, corn and oats ground together
and swamp hay all the time. except in
in the winter of 1886, for a while when
having plenty OF good hay for my sheep
and not quite so much swamp hay rs
wanted for mulching my fruit, gave
HIM upland hay. SOON the horse began
to cough and exhibit other symptoms of

it Is the swamp hay Itself, or some herb

Valuable Eggs.

Another egg of the extinct great aux
has turned up at sale at Stevens's
rooms in the collection of a Mrs. Wise,
whose husband bought it in 1851 of Mr..
Williams, dealer in Oxford street, for
$50, it having been imported from Paris
This specimen, whi,h h was very fine and
perfect one, was put up and after bi k
competition was Knocked down to Mr.. j..
Gardner, the well-known naturalist, for
$1,000. the highest price ever paid. 1t
is said 10 he bought for America. This
shows gradual increase in the price of
these rare eggs-of which there are sixty
six known specimens, forty three of them
being in England and Ireland-as will
be noticed by the following dates and
prices at these rooms:
In 1865 four fetched about $3.50 each.
In 1876 one fetched about 1920.
In 1880 two fetched about $52J and
$5:5 each.
In December, 1887, one fetched about
$40.
If any of these specimens tor why not

How TO Treat and Feed Calves

down its throat only twice day, and it
is cruel to conn el it to d6,so. 1t needs
to suck a little at time an often. Be-
sides it learns to drink mr Ah easier after
1t has grown strong by running with its
mother two or three days. BY all means
use calf feeder. which makes calf

this one and your calves viii do SO much
