Some time ago the city Council
received a proposition from a Chemi.
cal Fire Engine Company to test
their machine. and If satisfactory
they wished to sell them one. The
test was made last Monday. The
agent erected a board shanty In
which was piled dry boards, boxes,
hay, shavings and paper, the cost Of
the material being about $1,000. The
engine was sent 2 blocks distant, and
at given signal a match was struck
into the hay and the engine was
started for the fire. The wind was
blowing strongly and in about one
minute everything in the shanty was
envelOped in roaring flames. and by
the time the machine reached the
shanty, it was apparent that it would
be an extraordinary fire engine that
would subdue the fire. The agent,
however, turned on the hose, but
he did not succeed in putting out the
fire. While the HERALD does not be
heve that the engine tested is what
we want in Phillipsburg, we are free
to confess that the conditions under
which it was tried here were most IN
favorable, and ought not to prejudice
other towns wanting a small chemi-
cal engine, from investigating its
merits

Thirty Miles Digappear.

Thirty miles Of country is big

and Chicago, and the distance be
tween the two cities Is only 458 miles
measuring from Union Depot, Kan

than by any Of the old lines, so you
have to travel thirty miles less, your
freight has to be hauled thirty miles
less, and practically the Santa F'e has

The great Methodist Conference

ted an unwise and unfair act. By a
vote of 184to 172 they decided that
women shall not be admitted as del

Women are foremost in every noble
movement to bless humanity, and the
Methodist Church has made a sad
mistake in shutting her out from the

that beautiful little city and shown

adorn the city and the people are
very enthusiastic. They have a tele-

was for the purpose Of Witnessing the

Free traders all insist that duty
means higher priced goods-in other
words, that the amount of duty is adj
ded to the price of the article. If
this were true few men would be in
favor Of protection, but it is in no
sense true. Take calico for instance:
the import duty Is five cents per yard
and yet best qualities of calico can be
purchased in the retail market for
that sum, and good quality for three
and four cents per yard-COIby Cat.

PROFITABLE POULTRY.

HOW Yankee Farmer Defiv00 . O000
1aoome From His Hens.
Any hen that lays much less than 100
eggs in year is kept Mt a loss, as a
hen will consume about $1.O0 worth Of
food, besides the time used in feeding
and caring for her.
We shall not approach the question
from the side of the "fancicrs," the
breeders who aim to get q, g, or g
for setting of eggs. and S5 to t25 for
a cock or pair. These gentlemen have
a host of poultry papers advocating
their interests, and need no help from
Us.
1t is our purpose to consider the
question from the everyday farmer
standpoint. and we shall show that a
net profit of $3.50 per hen per year can
be made in the ordinary way of mar
keting eggs at the store or at the door.
We know it can bo done. because we
have done it and are doing it. All
that is necessary is to induce the hens
to lay in the fall and winter, when
eggs bring high price; in other
words. get tho pullets to lay when they
are five or six months old, and keep
them laying.
The writer bought dozen year old
hens ct tho Plymouth Rock breed, but
doubtful pedigree. and ten pullets Of
most uudoubtcd pedigree Gas mixed .
lot as one most ever sees on any farm).
and his flock to-day is composed Of
their descendants. got by adding .
good cock of brown Leghorn blood one
year, Plymouth Rock cock the next,
and 50 on alternately. It will be con-
coded that we have no fancy birds.
There isn't q pure blooded fowl in the
flock. The Plymouth blood prepon-
derates; the brown Leghorn blood shows
itself in many Of tho pullets, and
"sports" Of various sorts and sizes are
common.
Below we give some statistics of the
egg product of these hens in the past
three years:
Average net profit per hen. 20 Is e .: q g
1t should Ike explained that tho
decreased average of eggs in 1887 was
caused by the failure of the stone
mas0ns to build foundation wall for
a new building. and eighty or ninety
fine pullets were running wild in the
field till December Is. II they had
been housed October l we would have
had probably fifty or sixty dozen moro
eggs in November and December when
eggs were SO cents dozen. All our
eggs have been sold at the door, that
is. the grocer came for them. Tho
price at which they have been sold
ranges from Is to 16 cents q dozen in
April and May to 80 or 40 cents
dozen in November and December; the
average price for the three years being
between rs and Is cents dozen. This
high average price for the three years
Is due to the g00dly number of eggs
produced in the fall and winter when
they are scarce and high. 1t is true
that pullets that lay vigorously all
winter won't increase their product so
much in the spring as birds that have
rested through the winter. but the
average for the year is tho test of

WATER At MEALS.

It Washes Out the Mucus and PARTIAL,
| Distends the Stomach.
Opinions differ as to the effect of tn,
free ingestion Of water at meal times,
but the view most generally received
is probably that it dilutes the gastric
juice and so retartls digestion. Apart
from the fact that a moderate delay in
the process is by no means disadvan.
tage. as Sir William Roberts has shown
in his explanation of the popularity Of
tea and coffee, it is more than doubtful
whether any such effect is in reality
produced. When ingested during
meals, water may do good by washing
out the digested food and by exposing
the undigested part more thoroughly
to the action of the digestive ferments.
Pepsin is catalyptic body. and given
quantity will work almost indefinitely,
provided the peptoncs are removed as
they are formed. The good effects of
water drunk freely before meals has,
however, another beneficial result /:
it washes away the mucous which is
secreted by the mucus membrane
during the intervals of repose, and
favors peristalsis of the whole aliment-
airy tract The membrane thus cleanscd
is in much better condition to receive
food and convert it into soluble com.
pounds The accumulation of mucus
is specially we'll marked in tho
morning. when the gastric walls
are covered with thick, tenacious
layer. Food entering the stomach at
this time will become covered with this
tenacious coating, which for q time
protects it from the action of the gastric
ferments. and SO retarls digestion.
The tubular contracted stomach, with
its puckered mucus lining and viscid
contents q normal condition in the
morning before breakfast, is not suit
able to receive food. Exercise before
Of meal stimulates the cir
cnlation of the blood and facilitates
the flow of blood through the vessels.
A glass of water washes out the mucus,
partially distends the stomach, wakes
up peristalsis. and prepares the alimeut-
ary canal for the morning meal. OBJ
Iervation has shown that non-irritating
liquids pass directly through the .'tubu-
ar" stomach, and even if food be pres
int they only mix with it to q certain
extent According to Doctor Lieut.,
Who has made this subject special
'tudy. cold water should be given to
,ersons who have sufficient vitality to
eact and hot water to the others. In
'hronic gastric catarrh it is extremely
BENEFICIAL to drink warm or hot water
'cfore meals. and salt is said in most
asses to add to the good effect pro-
