Good water is an essential to animal
health as good food.
Too much hay will impair the di-
gestive system of the horse.
Most stock will do better for fresh
water six times day.
If the animal is overheatvd be very
careful about giving water.
The best way to judge the breeding
qualities of the stallion is by the colts.
If you breed to trotting horse
choose one that has style as well as
action.
Ii your mare has sprinkling of
draught blood, breed TO a draught
horse. -.
If the mare is of trotting stock she
should be bred to a trottihg or coach
horse.
A good colt trained and developed
into good aIl-round work horse has
unusual value.
Ii is more important that the plough
team should be well matched in gait
and strength than the carriage team.
Bad hay makes bad health, and it is
the worst possible kind of economy to
teed such 10 valuable horses, young or
old.
Great good would be accomplished
by the adoption OF the cart horse pa
rade i'll this country.
A stylish, driver or coacher will
always bring good price, but a
small road horse, unless he is speed Y
is hard to sell.
1t is said that the number of geld
ings this year will be unusually large.
This is good news, as the supply has
been very small
A balanced ration for colts includes
grain, hay, grass, etc. 1t rarely pays
to depend upon grain; alone or with
corn as additional food.
1t is reported that the Duke of West
minister has refused an offer of $780,
600 for Orme, the best son of the fa-
nous Ormonde, who was bought by

POULTRY NOTES.

Ducks require dry quarters.
Green bones are good for fowls.
Feed little or no corn in hot weather
While wheat is cheap feed it to the
poultry.
Guinea chickens are great insect
hunters.
The chickens need grit to keep them
in health.
There is considerable money in the
raising of geese.
Keep the droppings under the roosts
we'll cleaned up.
The cockerels and pullets should be
separated now.
1t is well to separate the sexes dur
ing the moulting season.
In fattening poultry begin by feeding
moderately at first.
Bones scorched and powdered are
relished by the chickens.
A stimulating diet promotes fat, and
fat reduces egg production.

Old Theatrical Days in the West

Mr.. John Mcguire, the famous West
erRpactor and manager, now at Butte
Montana, told me some of his early
theatrical experiences. He went from
Salt Lake to Phoebe in Nevada by stage
under an engagement for a weeks per-
formance. Instead of a theatre--this
was in the Sixties, " - he found big
shack of logs, chinked up the sides and
! rooted over with canvas. There was
a rude stage, and the benches were
<downi in graded pit with Mother
Earth for the floor He was to have
800, and two women in the company
engaged for $50 and $40. The stock
company of the place gathered around
big stove in the middle of the theatre,
shivering in their overcoats. They
had been sleeping under the stage and
on the benches. They did not earn
enough money 60 live at the hotel
Lodging at the hotel cost four bits $50
cents). and so did shave. A weeks
bill at the hotel averaged about $50,
The local actors were woefully incom-
petent--indeed, one of them told Mr..
Mcguire "the only thing he could play
was coronet." The actors of ability
like Mr.. Mcguire, were treated with
respect, the actresses received chivalric
sNtAention, but, alas, in this particular
Town the manager every night gam
bled away the money taken in at the
door.
Sometimes, during and at the close
etQhe war of the rebellion, theatrical
folk played upon billiard tables, or in
dining-rooms where the tables were
massed together to make stage, or in
any empty builling there happened
to be. Each travelling company car
ried curtains, and few rolled-up
painted scenes, representing a Kitchen,
"a parlor, and a street or forest. They
hung these scenes from copper wires
/ stretched from wall to wall, and fast
ened with screw-eyes. For an actors
dressing-room, or dressing-room for
The ladies, they strung up blankets be-
Gore or behind the curtain, in acorner
They got light by massing candles in
many parts of such an auditorium.
The good companies made almost as
much money as they do now, because
the price of admission was high. 1t
was a pinch of gold-dust, and that
was worth $2 or so so. The miners
offered their bags at the door, and the
ticket-takers pinched the dust A
room might hold $50 to 300 persons,
and there was sufficient money in the
business to tempt the best talent. Mr..
Barrett and Mr.. Jefferson, Miss Et-
tinge and Lotta, have all played in
such camps. If performer, particu-
larly lady, pleased the crowds, they
threw slugs and nuggets of gold and
coins upon the stage. Singers who
could .''touch the heart" were in great
zsfnsnd, and a certain Maggie Moore
coined money on this account.--Har-

CHICAGO.
A Short Essay Upon the Great
City on the Lake.
From the Doaton HeraId.l

Chicago's name was given to 1t by
the Indians for the garlic which grew
there. During the Revolutionary war
it became an Indian trading point
Fort Dearborn was erected there in
1903, aud in spite of the fort the peo-
pie were massacredf in 1912. After
that Chicago for few years was
again wilderness, until 1916, when
the white people began to flock
back again. Chicago, like New York
was built on account of a canal.
With the departure of the Indians
Chicago began to increase. Prairie
schooners began to arrive. The streets,
which were mere cart paths, were
rivers of mud in wet weather, but
Chicago was going ahead. Mud was
then the bane of Chicago as it is to-
day. In 1884 the first public school
was established. The church followed
next, and then the mail service was
established, and Chicago was in re-
ceipt of monthly mail. Then came
the newspaper, the Chicago Demo
crat, which announced when 1t was
first published that the Population
was 800, and that goods came from
New York in twenty-seven days.
The decade between 1910 and 1850
saw the beginning in small way OF
all the great enterprises which have
made her great. The next decade be-
tween 1850 and 1860 was an era OF
railroad building. The citizens tun-
neled the lake two miles and got fresh
water, and later tunneled it two miles
farther. Then the low parts of the
city were raised from three to sixteen
feet, and all the buildings were raised
to conform to the new grade. The
man who had to do with the raising
of the buildings of Chicago was
George M. Pullman, who, after rails
ing many of these buildings, turned
himself to make easier the long-dis-
tance railroad travel.
The story of Chicago during the war
was the story of the whole country.
The convention which met in the
great wigwam was the one which
nominated Abraham Lincoln. The
grain trade of Chicago is enormous,
but the lumber trade is larger; the
business of the stock yards is larger
than both together, and the manufac-
turing business is larger than either.
In 1871 Chicago had a population
OF 334 900, and most of the buildings
were of wood. Then the fire burned
27 acres on Saturday night. 1t was
thought to be the largest fire that the
city ever experienced. The next day
a.yast sea of fire enveloped the whole
city over the river from one part 10
the other, burning over 1000 acres and
destroying 270 lives. In spite of what
came from insurance and gifts, Chi
cago had to bear loss of $40, 600, 600.
Before the fire had entirely ceased the
rebuilding began apace. A splendid
new city has been built on the ruins
of shabby old one and the debt has
been nearly paid in these twenty
years.
1t was bold move for Chicago to
undertake the worlds Fair and be-
fore it had been decided by the Gov
ernment, Chicago had decided that its
fair would be the greatest ever held.
The exposition can never be surpassed.
Chicago is not yet an ideal city nor
completed city. The unbuilt stretches
OF prarie will be built up in new
and beautiful style of architecture.
She is confronted with grave prob
lens in the corruption of her munich
pal politics.

Lime is as essential as are air and
water to productive hen.
Now is the time to pick out the fowls
which have ceased to lay.
Raw onions chopped up are very
healthy food for poultry.
1t is only by reg ular care aud feed
ing that steady growth can be secured.
Exercise and green food are as essen
tial to the health of poultry as they are
to human beings.
Milk, wheat, bran and linseed meal,
cut green, bone or animal food, should
be given during the moulting season.
Fish in moderation is an excellent
food for chickens, but if too much be
given the eggs and meat OF the fowls
will develop fishy taste.
A few days before killing your fowls;
shut them up and feed them corn and
water only. You will find noticeable
Improvement in the flavor.
A fowl that is confined to corn and
water for few days before being kill
ed is much better favored than one
which comes fresh from the range.
Poultry need charcoal, and it is sug-
gested that good way to supply it is
to burn an ear of corn, charring it
thoroughly before throwing it to the
fowls.
