An Excellent Device for shipping Poultry
to Market-It Saves Return Freight
Charges.
A serious drawback to the business Of
shipping live poultry is occasioned by
the loss upon empty coops. They are
bulky and clumsy to handle. and, with
the rough treatment they are likely to
receive. they arrive back In very broken
condition, if at all. The accompanying
illustrations represent an unpatented
folding-coop, which may be built at .
small advance above the cost Of
the old. plain coop. The most con-
yenient size is for feet long, three
feet wide and one foot high. with a
hinged partition through the mid
die. The bottom is made OF boards
four feet long and three-eighths of
an inch thick. Four cleats, each three
feet long. two and half inches wide.

Early in March one of the electric
wires at the corner of Gale 10 de Julio
broke and fell on the road. Two horses
in a market cart passing by were thrown
down by the electric current the mo-
mont they touched the wire, which was
giving out sparks as it lay on the ground,
and the driver was thrown Of his seat
policeman attempted to clear the wire
from the horses "feet" with his sword,
when he was Immediately knocked
down by the force Of the electricity. He
managed to get ON his feet, but was
again knocked down. Some Of the
lookers-on went and pulled him of the
wire, and in doing so one Of them was
knocked down. but managed to save
himself by rolling of the wire. Imme-
diately afterward . tramcar drawn by
three horses arrived, and all the AMI
mails fell on coming into contact with
the wire. BY this time the men of the
electric light company appeared on the
scene. Ono of them was for q time pre-
vented by the police from touching the
wire, but afterward one of them seized
the wire with tongs to try to cut it,
and was at once thrown on his back; but
the tongs fell from his hands and he
was able to get up again. Some more
OF the company's men arrived shortly
after, and the horses were rescued. The
men then set about to repair the wire in

BUGS AND ROT.

How to Prevent tho RavaEss Of Both on
the Potato Vines.
Potato bugs and potato rot can be pre-
vented by spraying the vines with the
bordeaux mixture, adding pound OF
London purple or Of Paris green to each
100 gallons of the mixture. This prac-
tice was followed by the Ohio expert
ment station last year, the vines being
sprayed May IS. June 90, June 90, and
July 16. Blight appeared about the
middle of June and did serious damage
for the next six weeks On such plants
as were not sprayed. The sprayed vines
showed much less injury, remaining
green after the others were dead and
yielded profitable crop, while the
blighted and unsprayed portion of the
field was practical failure. The tubers
on the treated portions were also much
more free from scab.
to apply this preventive of potato rot
than to spray on the usual solution to
kill the bugs, as both operations can be
done at one time. The bordeaux mix
ture is made as follows: Dissolve az
pounds of sulphate of copper (blue
vitrioD in 2 quarts Of water; slake 81
pounds of lime in quarts Of water; add
81 gallons of water to the slaked lime,
and pour this into the vessel containing
the copper solution. rejecting while
doing SO the undissolved Jumps of lime.
Another formula for the bordeaux mix
ture is to dissolve pounds of copper
sulphate in 16 gallons of water, and in
another vessel slake pounds Of lime in
6quarts of water, mixing the two after
they are cool. This mixture is also tho
best preventive or remedy for rot and
blight on all fruits and crops, especial

COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS.

A Statement OF the indebtedness Of Coun-
ties In Kansas, ~ Shown ny the Census
Report-The Indebtedness OF 1890 Com
pared With That Of 1880.
WASHINGTON, June THE reports of
county Indebtedness are being compiled
at the Census Office. Complete returns
have been received from Kansas. Thew
show that eleven counties have no
county debt Leavenworth leads all,
with bonds outstanding to the amount
OF S1.o62, 700. Wyandotte, in which is
Kansas City, Kan, has q debt of $780,
$3.50, Doniphan has 5000, 1882 and
Douglas has $500, 100. Several counties
have decreased their debts since 1850,
but most Of them show an increase.
The tabulated statement presented
below gives the debts of 1850 as we'll as
those of 1890. Dickinson is one of the
counties which has made phenomenal
increase in ten years, having now $3.50, :
600 in bonds, while in 1850 the amount
was S14, 500. Riley has increased her debt
from Sl4, 900 in 1880 to Sa94, 900. The aggre-
gates of county debts show that the gem
eral increase is from Sc, SS5, OF to S14, :
229.674SO. Perhaps the most interest
ing deductions to be drawn from the
figures is that the big increases in the
debts are limited to less than one-third
of the counties. Half dozen Kansas
counties have entirely paid of their
debts since 1880. Twenty or thirty have
reduced their bonds. As many more
have neither increased nor decreased.
The complete returns are as follows:

Cut this ont and paste it in your
hat for reference. It is the forecast
of the weather for January, 1891, by
Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the St. Louis wea-
Their prophet:
"The cold prevailing in most parts
at the end of 1890 will begin to mod
crate in the west about January I'd,
and during the Sd and 4th the warm
er temperature will travel to the east,
resulting in reactionary gusts of rain
and snow. The Sd is the central day.
Cold will follow the storms. A warm
wave will start about the 9Th, attended
by thawing, and ending in energetic
rain, snow, and wind storms about
the 9th, 10th, 18th. Be watchful of
cold to follow up to change of temp
erature, about 18th and Is, with more
falling weather on those days. The
10th is the center of next period. Elk
pect the cold to begin moderating in
the west about the 19th,gathering up
rain and snow storms toward the east
during 10th, 21st, 22nd. The regular
rush of cold will press the rear of
these storms, calling for care in ex-
posed places. The goth is the center
of relaxation movements, which will
touch the 25th and 9th in their
course from west to east. The month

TheGoodhue county school superin-
tendent, Mr.. Engstrom, has an article
in the last number of School Educa-
ton under the head of Needed Leg
islation," in which no makes the
following suggestion in relation to the
election of school superintendent:
"That the county superintendent
be elected by the people at the annual
school meeting, only the people of
common school districts voting. Men
and women could then have an equal
share in the election of the county
superintendent. As it is now, though
women can vote for the county super
intendent, they have no voice in eau
Gus or convention when the first and
effective steps toward his election are
taken. There is no reason why spe-
cial and independent districts should
have voice in the election of super
intendent of common schools. In
this manner we believe the people
would have better opportunity than
now to elect their county superin-
tendent on his merits regardless of
politics. The law might also provide
that before a superintendent could
draw his salary he should procure
from some established state authority
certificate of competence and moral
character"

An opportunity is now offered
Uncle Sam to sell Alaska for a nice
little sum more than it cost him.
Capt. James Carroll, who was elected
last October by the territorial con-
vention to represent Alaska in con-
gress, is now in Washington. He
says that if congress does not see fit to
grant Alaska the right to be repre-
sented, he is empowered to offer the
sum of $14,OOO,OOO for the territory
and pay it over in $40 gold pieces on
the shortest sort of notice. This is 81 )
100000 more than it cost, not to speak
of the big yearly profits the govern
ment had taken for sealing privileges.
The offer, he said, was bonifed, and
he was sure if those making the offer
had complete ownership, whatever
flag was raised, they could secure the
blessing of a popular government,
unhampered by the annoying defects
of the present system, which worked
useless hardships and clogged devel
opment."

A Tariff Illustration.

Anoka Herald: A very good object
lesson in the workings of the new tar
iff law will be found in the study of
the tissue paper question. The single
company in the United States which
manufactures the higher grades of
tissue paper, doubtlessly believing the
arguments of free trade newspapers
to the effect that manufactures would
have an excellent chance to raise
prices under the Mckinley bill, was
particularly anxious last summer to
have congress raise the tariff ON It's
sue paper. Representatives of the
company were dispatched to Wash
ington, and finlly the desired raise
was secured. The members Of the
company were highly pleased at the
outlook, and read with greater glee
the repeated assurances of Democratic
journals that under the new law they
could now mark up prices all around,
which they proceeded to do. Hence
their present discontinue. The new
tariff, by stimulating American en-
terprise and inviting American capt.
tai, has broke up the company's mo-
nopoly in the manufacture of high
grade tissue paper, and as one repre-
sentative of the company now mourn
fully admits "about everybody is go
ing into business" Three mills have
already started up in competition, and
nearly sixteen will be running inside
of six months. The selling price of
the once monopolistic concern is there
fore tottering, and instead ofakeeping
up the prices as advocated by the
Democratic papers, the company has
already knocked off five cents ream.
In suggesting a raise in the tariff up
on tissue paper, the company unwit-
tingly put an end to its monopoGstic
career, and can now see from practi-
cal experience that protective tariff
means only building up of home In
dustries and steady decline in the
prices of goods, no matter in what
line. And this tissue paper company
is only one of many whose eyes will
be opened to the truth about the
workings of the new tariff in the near
future.

Notwithstanding the revolution, the
imports for the year ending the Both
of last June amounted to $175, 955, 900,
and the exports to $159,627,0OO. The
wheat crop for the year has been enor

est ever grown in the country. During
the year $4,000 immigrants landed
at Buenos Ayres, of which number 109,-
900 had their passage paid by the
government. The population in
Buenos Ayres is reported to have in
creased between 10000 and 10000
during the year; 126 new streets are
