A sIMpnE BAROMETER.

About the simplest barometer that
one can have, and it is said one of the
most efficient, is made of two bottles
and some water. One of them should
be an ordinary wide-mouthed pickle
jar, filed with water to near the top.
The other should be q long, slim flask,
which will go into the neck of the jar.
This should be inverted and plunged
into the jar so that it will not reach
the bottom. This arrangement gives
a complete barometer. In fine weather
the water will rise into the neck of the
flask higher than the mouth of the
pickle bottle, in wet or windy weather
it will fall to within an inch of the
mouth OF the flask. Before heavy
gale OF wind, and at least eight hours
before the gale reaches its height, the
water has, 1t is said, been seen to leave
the flask altogether. -Picayune.

A Child Seized by n Coyote.

During the night recently q coyote
came up to the ranch house of ID. s.
Thomas, near Arizola, where the
families of the men employed on the
ranch, Samuel West and Manuel Ma
rino, were sleeping out of doors, the
West family on the east side of the
building, the Marine family on the
north. The tracks of the animal
showed that it passed the cot where
the Vests were sleeping Going to
the north side the voracious beast
seized by the arm little girl about
six years of age, dragged her from the
cot and around the house in the direc-
ton whence he came.
The outcries of the child quickly
aroused every one, and they were not
long in determining the cause. Mr..
West ran into the house and got q pis-
toll. AS he came out OF the door Mrs.
West called that the beast was passing
her cot The cries Of the child, how
ever, were sufficient to locate its
whereabouts. Going close Mr.. West
placed the muzzle of the pistol against
the beasts side and fired. The ami
NAL released it's hold and fell dead.
The child was severely bitten and her
face was considerably bruised from
contact with the ground as she was
being dragged. -Arizola (Cal Oasis.

GAPEs IN FOWLS.

This disease often destroys whole
broods of young chicks. 1t is caused
by thread-like reddish worms that live
in the throat or windpipe of poultry.
They cling to the walls, sucking the
blood of the parts. One worm will
produce 1000 to 5000 eggs. The hatch
ing of the egg occurs only when it is
kept constantly moist and at tenn
perature of about sixtyeight degrees
Fahrenheit. If the temperature is be
low sixty degrees the eggs will not
hatch, but will retain their vitality for
year or more, provided they are kept
moist.
When the affected fowls cape and
choke for breath some of the worms
are elected into the water troughs
where fowls frequently congregate,
evidently trying to allay the infam-
nation in the windpipe by drinking
copiously. The elected worms or eggs
are greedily taken by other fowls. The
best remedy is prevention. Keep the
fowls on dry, permeable soil. Feed
generously, including chopped onions
or garlic occasionally. Wash out the
water trough or pan daily, with boil
ing water.
Ii gapes is present among the fowls
separate the sick ones, and to each
quart of drinking water add four fluid
ounces of solution of salicylic acid,
made by dissolving sixteen grains OF
the dry acid iii four fluid ounces OF
clear boiled rain water. The pen il
which the sick fowls are kept should
be sprinkled twice daily with water, tc
each quart of which add four fuid
ounces of commercial sulphuric acid
Where only a few fowls are affected 6
bit of camphor, about the size of {
grain of wheat, may be forced down
the throat of each and viii by its odol
kill the worms. The use of u small
feather or hair loop dipped in turpen
tine and thrust down the windpipe o
the sick fowl is often effective. rh,
worms may either be withdrawn Oh
else coughed out by the chick, u Farm

wINTERINa THE SHEEP.

Generally it is not good plan to
winter over sheep unless il can make
q profitable growth or can be bred to
bring good lamb at least Sheep
cannot we'll be kept for one object
alone. A combination sheep is the
most profitable, at least for the general
farmer. Make careful selection of
the ewes that are to be bred, culling
out and fattening all the weak consti-
tutioned old or broken down, badly
formed or understood ewes. This
should be done early enough to give
time to fatten for market The num-
Der should always be considered in
making a selection, but it is not best
to winter sheep for wool alone !;
growth or increase should always be
considered.
Begin feeding early enough to be
sure of keeping the sheep in good,
farm q rundown sheep late in the fall
or early winter is the least desirable,
while a sheep in good condition at this
time is considered as half wintered.
Although the sheep should be allowed
to run ont as long as the weather will
permit. it will be good economy to
provide shelter early, SO that it can be
used whenever needed. In majority
of cases one of the plans is to begin
sheltering at night and at the same
time begin feeding, gradually increas-
ing the ration. AS long as there is
some food in the pastures, good corn
fodder, clover or millet hay will be all
that will be needed, giving grains later
on. Good racks for feeding rough
mess, with troughs for feeding grain,
should be provided.
Provide plenty Of room. With ewes
especially it is poor economy TO crowd.
The doors should be wide, so that in
running in and out the ewes will not
iniure themselves. Before the ewes
are bred give both them and the ram
little special attention, making sure
that they are in good thrifty CON
ditiop, even if it is necessary to feeda
little grain. One advantage with sheer
is that ii they are fed and sheltered
for few nights they can be depended
upon to come up TO their places witt

ASSASSINATED.
Carter Harrison, Mayor Of Chicago, Shot
Down at His Home.

Another crazy crank has done has
dirty work and Carter Harri-
son, five times Mayor of Chicago, and
one of the best known men In the
West, is dead.
The murder was committed by Eu-
gene Patrick Prendergast, paper
carrier, who declared that Mayor Har-
rison had promised to make him cor
/poration counsel and had not kept his
' ,sord. This, he SAID, was the only
,bason for committing the crime The
tly person in the house besides Mr..
p9Iarrison was his son, William Preston
!, Harrison, 2s years of age, and the
servants.
About s O'Clock the door bell rang
and when Mary Hanson, lhe domestic,

by a man about five feet, five inches
kciigh, smooth shaven, his rather keen
Iscut features lit up by pair OF dark
eyes.

man in q quiet, pleasant voice.

threw the door open wider to permit
his entrance.

said the man as he walked toward the
back end of the hall.
Mr.. Harrison was in the dining
room. Hearing the man ask for him
he rose and stepped into the hall,
walking toward Prendergast, who by
the time he caught sight of Mr.. Har-
rison had advanced about len feet
from the door. Without saying q
word, Prendergast drew his revolver
and commenced to fire. He pulled
the trigger three times, and every time

the lower right side of his abdomen
making would that would have been
mortal within few days; the third
bullet entered the chest slightly above
the heart. This bullet was the imme-
diate cause of death.
Mr. Harrison lived about twenty
minutes. The murderer made his es-
cape from the house and made his way
directly to one of the police stations
and gave himself up. When ques-
toned WIN he did the shooting, he
would only say it was because the
Mayor had promised to make him
corporation counsel and had not done
so. Prendergast is crazy beyond all
question.

TOMATOES
Bulletin No. IS from the Cornell
University Experiment Station is de-.
voted to notes on tomato culture by
Professor l.. H. Bailey end l.. Q. Cor
bett, assistant. In discussing the use
of fertilizers for this crop it is advised
to use such as are quick in their action
in order that the plants may bear an
early crop. Well decomposed manure
or soluble fertilizers are best adapted
to this purpose. In regard TO the mat
ter of early or late setting of the
plants, the experiments for three sue
cessive wears show thai early setting is
an important matter, that the cofd
winds Of May do notiniure the plahtse'
and even slight frost does not always
seriously retard them.
In regard to the best time Tor seed
and whether artificial heat is needed,
the experiments show that the earliest:
fruit is obtained from the earliest.
sowing of seed, January 10; but that
by the end of August the seed scwn
February 24 had borne more fruit. 1T
is advised to SOW some seed early,
about February 10 to March /, and to-
SOW again for the main crop about the
middle of March. Frequent trans
planting of the plants makes them,
more stocky and promotes early frait-
ing. Plants grown in pots are better
and earlier than those grown In the
bed or in flats. Plants grown from
cuttings of old plants seem to bear
earlier and heavier crops than those'
grown from seed, but the results ares
not uniformly alike in different years.
Seed saved from late fruit is muchs
more productive than seed from theI
first fruit. Seed should be selected
from plants that bear early, but not
the earliest fruits from ordinary plants.
Seed from ripe fruit gives better and
earlier fruit than when taken from un-l
ripe fruit.
The experiments with ''long-legged'
or overgrown plants laid down ms
transplanting seem to show that they
are as good or even better than ordinary
plants Experiments in shearing the
tops of young plants show that they>
do not bear so early when sheared.
There appears to be nothing gained by
killing up the plants.
The experiments in training or
pruning the plants are conflicting, but
do not seem to show that much is to
be gained by this process, Training,
plants set one foot apart TO stakes orr
trellis gives decided advantage in}
producing large crop in smallp
space, which is important in forcing a.
crop under grass in winter or spring ).
it also might be useful in crowded.
