ST. PAUL, Dec. 16.-The state game
and fish commission was in session at
the capital most of the day, discussing
plans for future operations suggested by
the annual report of Executive Agent
w. P. Andrus of Minneapolis. This re-
port infinitely reviewed the practical
work of the commission during the year
in enforcing the laws, and contained a
detailed statement from Superintendent
Watkins Of the fish hatchery regarding
the situation there. In most respects
the report was entirely satisfactory and
was accepted by the commission, which
will prepare and submit it to Governor
Nelson at an early date.

Huronite IL: The ~"well-posted poll
tician" of the Mitchell Republican over
does the thing on some points. The n
that claims Public Examiner Myers as a
convert to Pettigrew is particularly
grim, considering the relations which
have existed between the two for some
thirteen years. III Governor Sheldon
has ever had any aspirations for Senator
Pettigrew's place we doubt il he has
ever whispered 1T to even the most init
mate OF his friends. There is no truer
republican than Governor Sheldon, and
he Is evidently heart and soul in favor OF
a republican legislature, strong enough
to make a senator just to its liking, re-
gardless of any merely personal ambi-
tions. That is good ground for a ! coed
republicans. to stand upon. III Senator
Pettigrew has any approach to great
ness, he will be satisfied with that, what
ever his ambitions may be, and do all he
possibly can to bring out that result.

That 'hope springs eternal in the
human breast" is still being exemplified
by President Loucks of the National
Alliance who says he is in receipt of
official returns from nearly every state
that held elections in November, and the
showing is that the populist party gained
over $4,000 votes, while the democrats
and republicans lost nearly 100000.
Fron. this he thinks South Dakota
populists should be happy aud after the
middle of February he proposes TO enter
the field and deliver on an average four
speeches each month until the close of
the campaign in November, 1894. That
ought to add twenty-five per cent to the
next republican vote in this state.

TnE OASIS frequently receives let ters of inquiry about Arizola. and as a general answer in reply to such in- quiries. will say that Arizola is town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence Irrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago it was a desert; today there is a railway sta tion at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, a telegraph office, a post office. an ex- press office. hotel. a store, a school house. printing oSSce, a stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and a thrifty and enterprising community, with newspaper, TIE OASIS. to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Ariz0la stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up, aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward. That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola pros porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States, and a health giving climate not sur passed in the world.

How Mr. and Mrs. shaw succeeded
paciac Rural prc.-

l of poultry. thought would give some of my experience of the past year. We started at Eureka, Cal. in the beginning in 1892. with four hens and one rooster and we raised forty fowls besides the cockerels, which we sold as broilers during the season, and we never lost a single chick by disease or otherwise. Our success was so remarkable that our neighbors often spoke of 1t; but the secret of our success was the pains taking care which we bestowed on our fowls. We lived on rented prop ertv. and when we started in raising fowls the place and chicken-houses were infested with chicken iieqs. which | exterminated by scattering plentiful supply of wood ashes about the place and on the floors of the chicken houses. kept on hand large quantities of finely pulyerized road dust. which, after cleaning the houses of the droppingS, would sift over the floors to deodorlze and rem der innoxious any eflluyia which might arise: also. l would place old barrels on their sides, in which would put road dust for my setting hens. The same barrels with road  dust were healthy place for the hens with their broods at night, and the deoderized droppings could be easily removed
 We never gave sofO food to the young chicks, but, for the first week after matching, would boil an egg hard and then mix it with oat meal so as to make it as dry as possible. Chick ems will thrive remarkably on such feed. After the first week we fed crumbs, cracked corn and wheat. Whenever Il chick would get droopy my wife would give it 3N nux yoni- about two or three crops in little sweet oil and in day or two it would be all right. But we had very few sick chicks for the reason inst the yards, henhouses, drinking vessels and everything about the premises were kept clean.
 Again, We neyerle let our young chicks out in the morning until the dew had dried of, or when it was rainy In the autumn we had as healthy a lot of fowls as l ever saw not a single sick bird, no mites, lice or heas. and they commenced laying at five months.
 Where the soil is damp, chicken houses should be iioored, as the drop pings of fowls falling on damp soil causes calculations to arise. which is inimical to tho health of poultry breathing the same. and is a fruitful source coupled with drafts of air of roup. To watch and care for the san itary conditions of fowls contributes as much or more to the succes of the poultry-raiscr as anything else.
