Raise Poultry.

What other department Of farming
excels the poultry business? The
boy can go into it with capital as linn
tied as even the price of one hen,
and many have done so without much
more, and the business grows with
the capacity of managing it and with
experience until it requires and re-
pays all his attention. The products
are always desirable for home con-
sumption, or when ready for market
they are readily turned into cash,
while with careful management there
are no long waits for crops to mature,
1t is not difficult with a fair-sized
flock to have eggs to sell every month
in the year, and chickens in few
months from Matching, while the old
fowl are quickly made ready for
market These need not be several
months feeding as in fitting the cow
or the hog.

Convenient Rustic Gate.

Many Of the most frequently used
farm pathways lead through fields in
places distant from the wagon gate.
An ordinary small gate on such a
path Is very apt to be left open,
permitting the stock to trespass on
growing crops A stlle over the fence
is generally unsiRhtly, and climbing
the steps is only less lnconvenlent
than climbing the fence, A suitable
gate for such pathway is shown in
the illustration, which is from the

Frequent Application of Gypsum.

Where gypsum is manufactured by
grinding the soft stone from which it
is produced, farmers find that it's
benefits are quite as apparent as in
localities where the stone cannot be
found. They use it even more freely
than is common where gypsum is less
plentiful, sowing it in small quanti-
ties two or three times year. 1t is
generally sown on clover about the
time the young leaf starts in spring,
but later application can be made
with advantage to the same clover be-
fore it gets into blossom, and again
after the clover is cut to encourage a
second growth.

windmIlls for Farm Work.

A good make of windmill, put up
in good shape, is as satisfactory a
power as any farmer can wish, and
will do all his work except such as
requires power when you cannot wait
for the wind, like cutting ensilago
etc One reason that so many of
them do not give satisfaction is that
they are not worth their freight and
a large number of farmers put up
mills that are too small to do the
work required, and then blame the
mills. There is no thirteen or four
teen foot solid wheel that will do
much saving hard wood with a saw
of eighteen or twenty inches; neither
is there one OF that size that will
grind twenty-five or thirty bushels Of
corn per hour, writes correspondent
of the Country Gentleman. With
an iron mill with small buhrs it may
crack it, not grind it, We. have a
sixteen-foot solid mill, which, for
awhile, did good work. We used a
fourteen-inch French buhr, and it
would grind six or seven bushels of
corn into fine meal per hour in a
good, heavy wind. 1t would also saw
wood, but had to have very hard
wind, and it is one of the best solid
wheels made. There is no solid
wheel that can be made to sQuarely
face heavy wind. They will creep
out, some more than others.
There are so many who ask for the
best mill to put up that | think those
who have used them ought to give
the information wanted, as many
farmers put up the first mill they
hear Of; there is nothing so unsatls-
factory as poor windmill, and moth
ing that a farmer is better pleased
with than one that works to his en-
tire satisfaction.
If anyone who thinks Of putting
up a mill will put up good mill of
such size that he will not have to
overload it to do his work, and put it
up in good shape, he will have power
that will be reliable at all times, and
do his work to his perfect satisfaction.

Josiah Quincy, Assistant Secretary Of State.
Ex-Governor Gray. Minister to Mexico.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General

The appointment of Josiah Quincy Of
Massachusetts as assistant secretary Of
state at Washington rouses anew the in
teret in this remarkable and truly his
toric American family-the only Amer
lean family, it is believed, which has
maintained an unbroken succession Of
wealth and talent for 2jO years. He Is
the sixth Josiah Quincy of eminence.
The first was that Josiah Quincy. who in
133O-jO was so active and efficient as
Massachusetts commissioner in DEALINGS
with England, and he was the great
grandson of the scarcely less Famous Ed
mund Quincy, founder OF the family
who landed in Massachusetts in 1873.

struggle which brought Oh the revolu-

ferson excited SO much amusement and
indignation. He was the first man to
advocate the right of secession on the
floor of congress, declaring that if Lou
isiana were purchased and made into
states the compact was dissolved and
New England should Withdraw from
the Union. He died in 1864, aged o.
His son Josiah was mayer of Boston and
an author of some note. His son Josiah
was long political writer of note.
The present Josiah Quincy was born
in Quinc-, Mass, Oct. 10, 1859; was
graduated from Harvard in 1880 and adj
mitted to the bar in 1884 and immedi-
ately became conspicuous as one of the
young Republicans who refused to sup
port James @. Blaine for the presidency.
In 1897 he was elected to the legislature
as Democrat and has since been re
elected three times. His committee
work in regard to labor, election laws
and tax reform elected high praise. He
is bachelor, and a bright particular
star in the inner circles of Boston's most
exclusive society.

Jaqua. He began active life as dry
goods clerk, then became a merchant at
Union City, Ind, studied law and soon
acquired lucrative practice.
His political life began with the war,
OF which he was an ardent supporter.
He entered the service early as cap

retired in 1868 ON account of i'll health.

the reconstruction era, and as such was
elected TO the state senate in 1868, be-

President Grant appointed him consul
to st. Thomas in 1870, but he declined
the place, disapproved of the presidents
policy, supported Greeley in 1872 and
has ever since been Democrat.

How to Kill Coyotes.

Here is a pointer on wolf killing.
In New Mexico shepherd was or
dercd to kill goat for eating pur-
poses. The Mexican took his gun
and shot the goat, which did not die
Immediately, but ran around and
finally fell ON rockey place where
there were little basins in the solid
rock. The Mexican conceived the
idea of putting poison in the blood as
bait for wolves, which were very
troublesome, and accordingly added
some strychnine. Next morning
there were five coyotes, one lobo and
q wildcat lying dead near the pool of
blood.
The sheepmen are enthusiastic
over the result, and will make further
experiments to test the seemingly
valuable discovery. It is supposed
that blood is the most attractive bait
that can be used.

COMING TO THEIR SENSES.

The San Francisco Chronicle notes
that there are signs of a return to
common sense IN circles where it has
Teen notably absent for some time.
For instance, the Manufactur r, a
prominent trade paper published in
the East, in recent number, after
showing how tremendous y prices
have declined during the past few
years, and particularly in 1892, re-
marSs:
How can this tremendous and de-
plorable l,ss of value be accounted
for! Not by insisting that there was
over>production all along the line.
Tie corn crop was short. but the
price fell. The wheat crop was
smaller of that than the preceding
year. There is no evidence at all to
show that the product of hides was
in excess Of normal demand. 1t is
not possible tn prove that there was
any exc ssive production of wool or
of petroleum. The fact that the de-
cline Of prices was practically uni
versal may be said to rule out the at
tempt 10 explain the downward
movement by referring it to over
production. Hardly could it have
happened that all the productive for,
ces Of the world suddenly developed
IN measure so extraordinary as to
overweight the markets and to out
run the consuming powers of the
people. Any general movement
downward must almost inevitably be
attributed TO the operation Of some
large, general force, acting with
steady pressure upon the whole body
commodities. That force may DE
found in this one fact: Tae price Of
silver declined from l05 in J muaTy,
1891, to So in January, 1898. In
other words, gold advanced in value
under the Influence of the increasing
demand for il, because Of the de-
mometizatiun of silver, and as this
one article gained in value every
thing measured by it apparently de-
cllned. We affirm, with perfect con-
tilence aad with challenge to any
one t disprove the affirmation, that
this, and this alone, is the force that
has put down the value of the real
wealth Of the world.
We do not know, says the Chron>
icle, the pas. position OF the Manu-
facturer on the subject, but the
H ,me Market Bulletin, which cop es
its comments approvingly, until very
recently was as much opposed to free
coinage as to free trade. Perhaps
now that the Bulletin has grasped
the fact that the Republicans and
Democrats alike have ignored the
true interests Of the people in legis-
lating on money matters it will cease
reviling the advocates of bimetallism
who have for years clearly perceived
that even the advantages of protect
ion may be minimized by monetary
policy which is constantly operating
to depreciate the prices of products
SO that the consumer may benefit at
the expense of the producer.

Endowment League.

Endowment League.
In affirming the decision OF the lower
court in the case Of Thomas c. Hogan VS..
the Pacific Endowment League yesterday
the Supreme Court gave its opinion of the
last-named institution in very plain terms ::
1t appears that Hogan took out an en-
dowment certificate in March, 1888, en-
titlng him to receive $4,000 in ten equal
payments of $500. The first payment of
$500 fell due in January. 1891. but alth ough
Hogan did all he could to get the asSocia-
ton to pay up he to this day has not re-
ceived one cent. SO he brought suit to re-
cover. The defense set up by the PRESIDENT
and secretary of the league was that Hogan
had failed to comply with an order direct
ing him to pay eighteen special assess
ments of S63 80 the week previous to the
falling due of his coupon. This plea, how
ever, did not hold with the Superior Court
and Hogan recovered Judgment. From this
decision the association appealed.
Yesterday the Supreme Court affirmed
the decision. 1t was held that as the
coupon had already fallen due Hogan was
comment was made upon the fact that the
president, and secretary of the league had
being financially capable of sat.
isfying Hogan's demands.
In conclusion. the Supreme Court de-
cided that the Pacific Endowment League
was bogus institution, got up for the
benefit of its prom oters, and that so far
from being run on business principles the
officers of the league did nothing but from
time to time BOLSTER up its sickly exist
ence." The league has long since passed
into insolvency under an order of adjudi-
cation made by Superior Judge Slack more
than year ago.
