RIPENlNe CHICKENS FOR MARKET
Tho Age and Condition at Which Fowls

Tho Age and Condition at Which Fowls
Are Most Profitable.
Ripening young chickens for the mar
ket is an art. We say "ripening." be-
cause the word more clearly defines our
meaning than any other.
They should not be over fattened, nei-
ther should they be too lean. To feed a
chicken after it has attained certain
age and weight is a waste of time and
food. 1t should be sold just in the nick
of time.
When the brood first comes from the
nest they should be placed in coop
about five feet long and two or two and
a half wide. In the bottom Of the coop
there should be dry dust or sand to the
depth of two or three inches. Care should
be taken not to get this dust wet, and it
should be removed at least once week
and fresh dirt put in its place.
The mother hen should be retained
, with the chicks, of course, and for the
first eight or ten days the latter should
be fed principally upon hard boiled egg
and oat meal When two weeks old
they will readily swallow wheat and

to the incubator it may be manipulated

In recapitulating some of the positions

that the preliminary step is to top dress

FIG. 2-CLEAN CULTURE OF CORN.
In short, with plenty of manure prop
erly applied, thorough understanding,
pulverizing culture near the surface, and
the care which every practical man will
observe, there will be no difficulty in
raising from fifty to seventy shelled BUSH
els to the acre Gig. p. 1t may be well to
add that in damp autumns matured corn
often weighs 20 to 25 per cent. more
when first harvested than after drying
few months in the crib, and hence the
reason why some reports give over a
hundred bushels (by weight to the acre,
where only eighty or ninety of well dried
grain was produced. In dry seasons
there is less difference, but often much
more than owners suppose.

Rrickinr the Inside of n s;1o.

A Wisconsin farmer, writing to
Hoard's Dairyman, suggests lining the
inside of a silo with bricks laid edgewise.
He says: 1t will cost trifle more on the
start, but is far cheaper in the end, if
well done throughout and kept well
painted on the outside. l don't see why
it won't last an age, or as long as one
man will wish to see it. Another thing,

Scours in Calves.

There is no remedy SO good as proven
ton for scour in calves. Hoard's Dairy
man names four conditions which are
very productive of this arrangement of
the bowels: l. Feeding milk cold. 1t
will pay you to warm the milk till the
calf is months old g. Feeding the
milk sour. 3. Not feeding often enough.
A calf should be fed at least four times
a day, then he does not gorge. f. Keep
ing the calf perfectly dry. This last is
a most important provision, but it is i'm
perative. Wet bedding will sicken a
calf as soon as anything in the world
Keep these conditions always in mind if
you want healthy calves.

Prof. Cromwelrs week closed at the
Grand yesterday with matinee and night,
both of which were fairly well attended.
The outcome of the venture we are sorry
to say, Is not one that speaks well for the
art tastes of Salt Lake, but the whole truth
is that week was rather too long TO put in
here, and Salt Lake was never noted for the
patronage she bestowed either upon lee
lures or concerts, no matter how high
their grade. Prof. Cromwell, we under
stand, will pass some time looking over
Salt Lake and gathering materials for a
new lecture upon our people, scenery and
attractions which lecture will form the
subject for one of his evenings on MS west

The calico ball given last Friday night
by the Fauntleroy Social Club, which
was the last of the season, was one of
the very best and some say the best
ever given in Palouse City.
On last Saturday evening, at about
7 o'clock, as two of Palouse City's most
respected young ladies were gong home,
they were basely assaulted by some I'M
known cowardly ruffian.
The G. A. r. held one of their regular
semi-monthly meetings Saturday last
Among other business transacted, they
appointed committee to make arrange
ments to properly observe Decoration
day. The committee is Comrades Poe
Hughes and Grubb.
We were shown yesterday some very
nice apples raised by James Bean, six
miles from Palouse City, on Cedar creek.
They are of the Blue Pear Main variety
and are beauties, not only to look at, but
eat. They are round and smooth, with
out blemish. We can have no better
evidence that the Palouse country is a
fruit us well as an agricultural one.

Engineers and manufacturers from va
rious parts Of the country have recently
been making pilgrimages to Bellefonte.

the United States. 1t is plant for the
manufacture of fuel gas exclusively.
The company making the gas have 4
capital Of $4,000, 600; their plant turns
ont 100000 feet Of first class fuel gas
every hour. The enterprise is pro
nounced in all respects a success. 1t is
to be sincerely hoped it viii be and that
here is the release of hundreds of beauti-
full western cities from the cloud OF
CRIME, smoke and destruction that en-
shrouds them. To womankind, life is
hardly worth living in city where
windows must be cleaned every day in
order to see through them. To be rid at
once of the triple nuisance of smoke,
coal and ashes in a home would be like
strip of elysium. That is what we
shall come to in all our cities eventually.
The worst trouble is that two sets Of
gas pipes viii be required for every
household, if two kinds of gas are to be
used-one for fuel, the other for illumi-
nation. If there were tunnels under
American city streets, as in Paris, there
would be room for all the pipes, but
there are not. Probably the best thing
to hope for is that gas companies will
find a way of making illuminating gas
so cheaply that it can be used both for
that and for fuel.

They Have lived Long.

The Philadelphia press is taking tie
census of persons in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware who are beyond
the age Of S.. The number of such per-
sons already discovered is surprising. Ii
conveys the impression that the average
of human life is lengthening rapidly.
Three per cent. of the old people have
reached the full century mark. Forty
per cent. are past 80, 81 per cent. past
IS. The Press gives a page of portraits,
and really these hundred years old people
don't look day over so. Perhaps they
would feel complimented to be told they
appear easily twenty years younger than
their real age. Most OF them are of
American parentage, a long way back.
Most interesting are the points Of SINH
larity in their history, for from these we
judge what is conducive to long life.
First we find that 50 per cent. worked
hard at physical labor all through youth
and middle life. They were not rich.
neither were they abjectly poor. The
labor of more than half of them was in
the open air. Forty-five per cent, were
farmers, per cent. lumbermen. The
Press remarks in passing that no list yet
made of centenarians in Europe or Amer
lea includes any journalists. They do
not get into the air and sunshine enough
to keep cat alive.
The Press old people are mentioned
particularly as having pleasant tempers.
Nearly all of them go to bed at O'Clock,
and have done so all their lives. They
rise at 4 and 5. 1t is little peculiar
that six and seven hours sleep seems
enough for most of them. Ninety-fve
per cent. are Of long lived ancestry.
Sixty-fve per cent. are fair complex
toned and S. per cent. have been mar
ried. Neither Of these facts proves any
thing, however, since a majority of all
people marry, and majority of Ameri-
cans are of fair complexion. Miss Mary
Grier is an old maid of SO, yet, in spite
Of that, cher pleasant temperament has
helped her through.
Sixty per cent. have been moderate
users Of alcohol and G5 per cent. have
used tobacco more or less moderately.
Of the pictured faces, the pleasant and
even merry expression of most is re-
markable. Old Joseph Garrett, nearly
80, says: "Thank God, l dropped poll
tics and got religion at 60" Herein may
be amysterious hint for those who would
| live long.
