Nd REASON TO CHANGE.

Every voter in the state who two
years ago supported the Silver party
should do the same again this year
There Is no reason for anyone to
change. If it was right to support
the party then it is now. While we
ha re the kindliest feeling for James
&. Dou 5hty, as a private citizen, any.
one who is familiar with the political
complexion of the state, knows that
he stands no show of election and
every vote for him will be half a vote
for 'artine and in that way will
weaken the stand which the people of
this State took two years ago in the
oehaf OF silver. In supporting the
Silver party principle is involved
that is OF great Importance to our
lead 'rs in Washington. If the party
receives large vote, they can say to
the opponents and show the proof
that Nevada is for silver first, last
and all the time. While the Stgte
recognizes the importance of other
issues, this is the great question that
must be settled first. For nineteen
years the people Of the State tried
to get relief by voting the Demo.
cratic and Republican tickets but
without avail. Two years ago the

the Silver question? The Silver

No, voters Of Nevada stand firm for

DISTANT THINGS.

o, white is the sail in the far away,
And dirty the sail at the dock
And fair are the cliffs across the bay
And black is the nearby rock.
Though glitters the snow on the peaks
afar,
At our feet it is only white
And bright is the CLEAN Of the distant star
Though a lamp were twice as bright
The rose that mods beyond our reach
Is redder than rose Of ours;
OF thought that turns our tongues to speech
Our fellows leave greater d0wer5.
The waters that flow from the hidden
springs
Are sweeter than those by our side
50 we strive through life for the distant
things
And never are satisfied
50 we strive through life for these distant
things
But ever they hold their place
Till beats LIES drum and death doth come
And we look III his mOcking face.
And the distant things crowd near and
close
And faith They are dingy and gray
For the charm is lost when the line J.
crossed
'TwiXt here and far away,
For the charm is lost when the line j.
crossed
And we see things as they are
And know that as clean is the sail at the

As the sail on the sea afar;
As bright the rays Of a the nearby lamp
As the CLEAN of he distant star.

DISASTROUS DISEASE.
The Nature and Proper Treatment of
Gapes in Fowls.

lGerald Mccarthy, in Farm and Home. |
This disease often destroys whole
brools of young chicks. 1t is caused
by thread-like reddish worms that live
in the throat or windpipe Of the poul-
try. These cling to the walls, sucking
the blood Of the parts. One worm
will produce 1900 to 5000 eggs. The
Matching Of the egg occurs only when
it is kept constantly moist and at
temperature Of about 6S degrees
Fahrenheit. If the temperature is be-
low 60 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 the fowls frequently congregate,
evidently trying to allay the inhamma-
ton in the windpipe by drinking CO.
piously. The elected worms or eggs
are greediy taken by other fowls
present or the water containing them
is drunk, thus spreading the disease
and in large tlocks producing veritable
epidemic The best remedy is preven-
ton. Keeping fowls on dry permea-
bic soil. Feed generously, including
| chopped onions or garlic occasionally.
| Wash out the water trough or pan
daily with boiling water. If gapes is
present among the fowls, separate the
sick ones, add to each quart of drink
| ING water four fluid ounces of a solu-
ton of salicylic acid. made by dissolv-
inc sixteen grains Of the dry acid in
four fluid ounces Of clear boiled rain
water. The pen in which the sick
fowls are kept should be as dry as pos
sible. and the ground should be sprink-
led twice daily with water, to each
quart of which add four fluid ounces of
commercial sulphuric acid. Where
only few fowls are affected a bit of
camphor about the size of a grain Of
wheat may be forced down the throat
of each and will by its odor kill the
worms. One drop of turpentine drop
ped into the Threats has given good re-
suits. Powdered asafptida, ten grains
per head, may be fed in mash of corn
meal. Chopped garlic or strong SMELL
ing onions will also be found beneti-
cial. Turpentine rubbed on the out
side of the throat will sometimes cause
the worms to let go their hold. The
use of a small feather or hair loop,
dipped in turpentine and thrust down
the windpipe Of the sick fowl, is often
effective. The worms may either be
Withdrawn or else coughed out by the
chick.
