Give tho Milk a Fair Test.

In marketing grain the seller eithe,
watches the scales or, what is better,
has the load weighed privately. but in
how many cases is this done in the
farm dairy? Every farmer who sends
milk to the creamery should have test
and know the per cent. of fat which
the milk contains Then if any varia-
ton is discovered by the report received
from the factory he can soon find out
the reason why. Then, again, he can
test his cows individually, and if in
quality as well as quantity any of them
do not prove themselves good mixers,
they can be weeded out What the

way of finding out just what she is do

THERE is more Catarrh in this section Of
the county than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until thelast few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it q local disease,
aud prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced itincurable Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

MlND-READiNG Or THE FUTURE.
Will 1t BE Possible to Read Thought
Through the Eyes?

Will 1t BE Possible to Read Thought
Through the Eyes?
It can be taken as a fact, which the
theory of the action of the eye implies,
that for each external impression, that
is, for each image produced on the
retina. the ends of the visual nerves
concerned in the conveyance of the inn
preston to the mind must be under a
peculiar stress OF in a vibratory state.
1t now does not seem improba bic
that when by the power of thought an
image is evoked. & distant reflex action,
no matter how weak, is exerted upon
certain ends of the visual nerves, and.
therefore, upon the retina. Win it
ever be within human power to analyze
tn. condition of the retina when dis
turbed by thought or reflex action, by
the help of some optical or other means
of such sensitiveness, that clear idea
of it's state might be gained at any
time?
If this were probable, then the prob
lem of reading ones thoughts with
precision, like the characters of an
open book might be much easier to
solve than many problems belonging
to the domain of positive physical
science, in the solution of which many
if not the majority of scientific men
implicitly believe. Helmholtz has
shown that the fund.- of the eyes are
themselves luminous, and he was able
to see in total darkness the movement
of his arm by the light of his own
eyes.
This is one Of the most remarkable
experiments recorded in the history of
science, and probably only a few men
could satisfactorily repeat it. for it is
very likely that the luminosity of the
ewes is associated with uncommon ac-
tivity of the brain and great magma
tive powers. 1t is fiuorescence of brain
activity, as it were, in all its essential
essence.-Scientific American.

GOPHER PESTS IN THE WEST.
Farmers Ways OF Killing The lDestruces-
tive Little Creatures.

tive Little Creatures.
One of the pests to which farmers in
many parts of the west are subjected is
the common ground squirrel, so famil-
lar in Gallatin county. When suffered
to breed unmolested they increase at
an alarming rate, and their destructive
powers are something enormous. They
are found in greatest numbers in the
vicinity of grain fields. and the number
of tons of wheat and barley consumed
by these animals is something amazing.
A single colony of squirrels will fire.
quently strip several acres of its crop,
and it is no infrequent sight to see a
strip twenty-five or fifty feet wide
along the entire extent of large grain
field cut down as clearly as though by
a machine, while the well-beaten trail
leading to- the great mounds of squirrel
burrows shows the agency by which
the destruction was accomplished
There are many methods of killing
the squirrels, a .favorite one where
irrigation is practiced being to divert
a stream of water into a burrow and
let it run until the occupants are all
drowned out. Sometimes, however,
this is impracticable, for it not infre-
quently happens that a good-sized
stream will be run for hours into a bur-
row without any indication that it is
filled up, and without driving a single
squirrel to the surface. When a colony
is drowned out, however, the mum Der
of those that reach the surface and en-
deavor to escape is something sur
prisin1. Several hundred not inire-
quently inhabit the same burrow.
The most effective means of destroy
ing these pests is by the use of carbon
bi-sulphide. One of the officials of the
Colorado agricultural college, who has
been investigating the matter, gives
the following instructions for handling
this remedy, which he recommends
as very effectual and not at
all dangerous to the person
applying it when handled with
proper caution. The method is to take
a tightly-rolled ball of cotton the size
of a hens egg or smaller, and thor
ourhly saturate it with the carbon BIZ
sulphide. With a rolling motion throw
the cotton into the burrew and close
the opening with earth, packing it
it down hard. The operation is simple
and the result certain. The carbon b.
sulphide ,evaporates quickly and the
vapor, being heavier than air, soon
fills the hurrow and smothers or over
comes the squirrels The application
should be made in the evening at sum
down, as the squirrels are in their bur-
rows at this time and can be reached
by this method. All the burrows in
a neighborhood should be treated at
the same time, as those close together
often connect and where but few are
treated the squirrels can escape to
those left open. When a thorough job
is made and every burrow stopped up,
colonies will be almost completely ex-
terminated by single application

A MEXICAN TOURIST.
MIR. Alborn'S View of the Southern
Republic.


Stopping at the Lemon hotel are Mr..
and Mrs. R. G. Alborn, OF Blue Earth,
MINI. They have just completed an
extensive tour of Mexico and came to
Phoenix on their way north. They are
so well pleased with the country that
Mr.. Alborn says before another winter
he will take up a permanent residence
here. He came primarily to meet
Allen 7, Bird, editor of the Arizola
Oasis, but who Mr.. Alborn supposed
was still resident of the city.
He was with Congressman Wilson al
Guadalajara and left him less than two
weeks ago. At that time Mr.. Wilson
had go far recovered from his illness az
to be able to sit up.
Mr.. Alborn has copious notes of his
tour. By his note book it appears that
Guadalajara is the most beautiful and
cleanest city in Mexico and Zacatecas
the dirtiest and most unhealthy city on
the western continent.
He said that the water throughout
that whole region is so vile and SC
heavily charged with mineral as to be
poisonous. On the arrival of trains
crowds flock about the locomotives beg
cling for a drink of water from the
tanks. The scarcity of water is shown
in the fact that it is carried as far as
sixty miles on mules and by other con.
veyances for drinking purposes.

on account of his former and long resi-.
dence in the city and by reason of the
circumstance that he has not infested
the town for five months; he was given
until shutdown to renew his exile.
By the middle of the afternoon he
was relapsing into his normal condition
of inebriety. He met Assistant Marshal
Hickey, who gave him "hunch" that
he'd be arrested before night. Alger-
non called on the recorder and asked
for an injunction against the arrest.

there has been a pronounced activity
in real estate matters. This is easily
proven by the county records. There Is
much inquiry of the value and deslra-
bility of residence lots. Everyone &C
knowledges that an upward movement
is inevitable. Each desires to profit
thereby. Shrewd observers have their
eyes upon the Simms addition half a
mile out Center street. 1t is conceded
that this will be chosen as site of fine
residences as the city increases in pop
ulation.
