POULTRY NOTES.
No. 80.

No. SO.
Are your hens laying? If not why
not q,
Hens that are through moulting
should be laying now.
If they are not laying by the time
cold weather sets in, they will probably
not lay until February or March.
II they do not, you are losing quite
an item, as the winter layers are the
most profitable, as eggs are as a gen.
eral thing highest at this time of the
year.
Early hatched pulets generally make
the best winter layers, if old enough to
begin laying in the fall, they will as a
rule continue to fill the egg basket all
winter. '-
A great many farmers make fatal
mistake by selling off their earliest and
best pullets. Don't do it as it will be
the ruination of your flock. Keep the
cream of the flock.

-Four Hundred Millions of silyerl
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?

The Treasurer Of the United States
had in store on the rst of October. ISot.
S4S,3iS,54t,Io5 silver dollars SIS
S4S 61o in the form of subsi diary sil.
yer silver bars to the value of S,t.
s7o,s55; trade dollars (bars,) $a,,oa
200 total, $4oo, ,i6i,3a6, or, in round
numbers, $500, 900, 900 The govern
ment, furthermore, is incre asinp the
immense store by buying seven addl-
tional tons of silver every working dav
in the year.
Now what does $500, ,ooo,o 900 worth
of silver mean' Stated in figures, or
expressed in words, it conveys to minds
as ordinarily constituted no definite
idea other than that of an incompre.
hensible something, endowed with Ger.
tain potentalities possibly for good,
possibly for evil. Yet silver is a phy
sical entity, possessing the properties
Of length. breadth, thickness, capacity
to occupy or fiji space, and weight.
Let us apply these properties to the
$500, 900, 900 and note some of the
results of such application.
Coined into dollars, the product will
weigh over ~ ,ooo, 900 pounds avoirdu-
pois, or 1900 net tons and if its
movement is desirable, will nccessitate
for so doing the use of 1900 railroad
freight cars carrying eleven tons each,
or zaoo cars carrying five tons each,
or $500 two-horse wagons carving
each two tons. ...
A cubic inch of pure silver weighs
about o.5S pound, and a cubic foot
about 657 pounds Hence the $500,
1000, if melted into a solid mass.
would occupy some $4,000 cubic feet,
which in turn would make a solid col.
umn Of pure silver a foot square and
about 6b miles high-thc Washington
Monument being $50 feet Assuming
L load of 100 pounds per man, an army
Of 2ao, 900 men would be required to
carry the mass, and would make file,
in close order, SO miles long, occupy
ing 80 hours in ''passing a given point
allowing nothing for halts or rests
The Treasury counts its silver by
weighing it, which is the part of wis
dom, IN view of the fact that a man,
countingat therate Of 200 dollar pieces
per minute, steadily for eight hours a
day, Sundays included, would be kept
busy for considerably over eleven years.
Piled one upon the other, the $500,
600, 1000 would attain a height of 675
miles; and placed side by side, they
would carpet room SO feet wide and
nearly "a miles long.
Great, however, as is the mass Of
silver at present in the "treasure-houses"
Of the government, it is being steadily
increased by the purchase of $4,000,
900 additional ounces every year, or
at the rate as before stated-of seven
tons for every working day Of the year.

Prevention is Better

Than cure, md thos, who are subject
to rheumatism can prevent attacks by
keeping the blood pure and free from
the acid which causes the disease. For
this purpose Hoods Sarsaparila is
used by thousands with great success.
Il is the best blood purifier.
Constipation is caused by loss of the
peristaltic action of the bowels. Hoods
Pills restore this action and invigorate

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
bic. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
mcnt, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be con
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by f. ],
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market,
1t is taken internally in doses from Io
drops to teaspoonful,. 1t acts directly

A Burglar Captured

This morning about two O'Clock.
John Wood. the well-known plumber
who resides on Main Street, was awak-
ened by hearing glass break. On get
ting out of bed he received blow on
the head. He Immediately grappled
with the burglar, and after terrible
struggle succeeded in holding him un,
til his wife obtained help. On being
searched at the station, Mr. Woods
watch and wallet was found on his
person. He gave the name of Robert
Terry. The broken glass proved to
be a bottle of Sulphur Bltters which
had almost cured Mrs. Wood of Rheu-

PIANT. ligion the chief Of
'>-AN - ferng to the gods
was the fomentcd juice OF the Soma or
Moon plant, which, being strong
drink. gave new excitement to those
who partook of it, and was believed to
inpart power to the gods. 1t was be
lieved, moreover, that it wrought mir
acles. and for this reason, perhaps, 1t
afterwards became the chief god OF the
Hindus. In vedic hymn the wor-
SHIPPER says:
We've qualted the Soma bright,
And are immortal grownj
We've entered into light,
And all the gods have known,
What mortal now can harm,
Or foeman vex us more!
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God we soar"
No such power as this is attributed
to any plant at the present time, and
yet many Of the cures performed by
S. S. s., purely vegetable remedy,
seem almost to border on the miracu-
lous. In contagious blood poison

ADOC'S SORROW.
Displayed beside the Stranded Boat OF
His Drowned Master.

That dogs have keen intelligence
is often proved by the affection they
show for persons to whom they become
attached. says the San Francisco call.
There was Il most pathetic incident of
this kind in connection with the drown
ing of Il crab-lisher named Wilson,
whose empty boat was found recently
in Potato cove.
When the boat was discovered high
and dry on the shore large black
and-while Newfoundland dog that had
accompanied Wilson for years during
his fishing excursions from his home
at Harbor View sat beside the strand
ed craft patiently awaiting the return
of his master. The animal whincd
piteouSly as party of Wilson's friends.
including his son-in-law approached.
Whats the matter. old fellow"
asked the young man as he patted the
dog on the head. This bit of sympathy
seemed 10 increase the dogs misery
and his grief broke forth anew in
means and bowls. All attempts to
coax the animal away from his pest
beside the boat were without avail.
Great streams of tears welled down
over his shaggy face and his pitiful
wailing increased. and all efforts to
sooth him only made his grief the
greater
Finally some one took hold of the
Borrowing dogs collar and tried to
lead him away. but he struggled and
fought 50 furiously that the men were
compelled 10 depart without him. As
they left the pitiiul walls of the dog
was heard until they lost sight of him.
Wilson's body has not yet been
found. Who knows but that the faith
full animal will be the first to discover
it when the sea gives up its dead?
