Are You In 1t?

Mr. Chas. b. Spahr Of Columbia university has
recently examined the records of the SurI ogates
of 35 counties in the state of New York, co 7ering
the last three months of 1898 and including the
counties of New York and Kings, the richest in
the State. The results are remarkable as 81 Ow
ing how few pc pile leave any estates al all and
the low average values of the estates left.
out Of 10 600 persons over 25 years of age dyS
ing during the quarter, only
SS5 left estates equal to or exceeding $4,000
2lG6 averaging 1899
GG;g valued at 0O00
Think of it! Less than per cent were worth
5000 and less than p per cent We're worth Sl292
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
9ll5 out of every 10000 leave an estate of $1,000
not depends upon whether they have life insur-
ance for that amount or not.

Denver, July IA special to the News
from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: United
States Marshal McDermott is in receipt
of telegram from Fort Washable, 10
the effect that d fight has occurred be-
tween the settlers of the Jackson Hole
country and the Bannock Indians in the
northern part of Fremont county, and
that one Indian has been killed and fif-
teen taken prisoners. The fight was the
outcome of an attempt on the part of
constable and possee to arrest the In
dams for unlawful killing of game, and
the constable was held up at the point
of their guns. After the constable had
sent for reinforcements the citizens took
the matter up, with the result that a
fight occurred with the above results.
Some apprehension is felt that the dis
turbance will cause an outbreak among
the Indians. The BannockS are Idaho In
dams, and they annually come into Wyo-
ming and-SlaughteF game. Citizens are
determined to put a stop to their depre-
dations, and it is thought more trouble
will ensue before the end is reached.
Governor Richards some weeks ago pub
lished a lengthy communication in the To-
cal papers, calling attention to the depre-
dationS of these Indians and pointing out
the danger of a. clash between them and
the citizens unless proper measures were
taken to prevent them from slaughtering
game.

FINANCIAL ISSUE.
AGAIN FORCED TO THE FRONT IN
OMAHA.
A Letter to Carlisle That Creates n
Sensation in Nebraska Political
Circles.

Omaha, July 12.-The financial issue po-
litically has again been forced to the
front in Nebraska by the publication to-
day of a letter 20 Secretary Carlisle from
the Democratic committee. He is warn
ed that the invitation he recently receiv-
ed to address Nebraska's Democrats at
Lincoln Sept ), was not issued by the
Democratic state central committee but
by the element in the party which bolted
the convention last year. The commit
tee explains in detail that only thirty out
of 400 delegates bolted the convention nom
inee, ostensihly because of fusion. but
really because the convention favored
free silver. incidentally it may be men
toned that though the boilers are d very
small part of the party they have been
given all the federal patronage and rec
ognized as the only Democratic party at
Washington. The letter concluded:
However, by direction OF the regular
Democratic organization of Nebraska, we
hereby extend you cordial invitation to
attend the regular Democratic state con-
vention at a date to be fixed in the near
future and engage in A joint discussion
with Hon. w. ]. Bryan, the unanimous
United States Senator, receiving vote OF
$4,000 as against 1900 for the regular
Democratic nominees the year previous.
Our platform is the immediate restora-
ton of the free and unlimited coinage OF
gold and silver fat a present ratio or l6
to l without waiting for the AID or con-
SEM of any other nation on earth.
The letter has caused c0mm0tlon IN
state political circles.

FARMERS AND FARM LIFE.

There is no question that some
farmers wives have a hard time.
am not speaking of farmers wives as
a class. They not only have to do all
the household work, which is often too
much for one woman to perform, but
quite frequently too much outdoor and
barn work. / say the farmer should
take a great deal better care OF his
wife than of his team. 1 am not sure
that he always does. There is one
thing the husband can do if he is poor,
and that is to be kind and affectionate
to his wife, for even if she has to
work hard the work will seem lighter
if she knows it is appreciated and that
her husband still loves and appreciates
her. The farmer should be courteous
to his wife, yet some are far from
being so, you would think, if you
could hear them talk to their wives
and scold them. They don't appreciate
what they do for them and for their
comfort. When going to your work for
the day, won't a kiss, a loving smile
or a few affectionate words cause her
to have better spirits all the time she
is alone, and won't she be glad to see
you when your work is done? I think
so. 1t is we'll worth trying. Let US
try to make life more cheerful and
happy for our wives. Then we shall
find more enjoyment and profit in farm
life and farming. There is no place
where kindness and gentle words Pay
as well as in home life. The farmer
should be kind and gentle with all OF
his stock, but his wife claims more and
should receive it. Won't she appreci-
ate it. thoughLNeW Highlander in

SUCCESS WITH POULTRY.

The first thing is to start with sofA
pure breed, or two different breeds.
person must like poultry; in fact ~
person must like farming, or beingt
merchant, to be successful and put his
whole mind to whatever business he
undertakes. If a person has a choice
flock of poultry and takes proper care
of them, same as you would a fine
horse or cow. what grand returns one
would get from a flock, writes Edwin
Wing in the Massachusetts Plough
man.
Where farmers make one great mis-
take is by having a mixed lot OF COM
mon fowls. It's a fact that there are
more fiocks of pure poultry in the
cities and in the towns than in the
country.
Farmers, why not have poultry that
will bring in eggs, and plenty of them,
as we'll as to have mfxed-up lot tha5
never pays?
What a farmer wants is one hind
for layers, such as Leghorns. or Mi
norcas, or Blue AndalusianS. And them
one wants another for sitters and good
mothers, such as the Black Langshans.s
Plymouth Rocks, or WyandOts. The
Black Langshans make the best OF
mothers and good winter layers.
Next, one wants a good warm pOul-
try house, with one or two windows in
the sunshine. I saw a poultry house
few days ago on a farm, and many
farmers had none any better. The
wind could blow through; part of the
roof was off; the rain could pour
through, ana L said: ''Well, you will
have to get a new poultry house SOon.'
Such a poultry house is good to give
chichens the Group and no eggs in the
winter time.
Now, as to eggs. When they are
high you must feed something besides
corn. How can chickens, when the
ground is covered with snow, get lime
for the shell? Through winter and
the late fall months, feed bone meal
mixed in half bran. half corn meal
pour on this hot water; feed once
every two or three days. Give them
meat, and have a supply of cabbage in
your cellar or buried; chop up fine and
feed every day; nothing is any better.
Wheat, for a change, is better than
corn; and if you can not get bone
meal. feed oyster shells. The best way
to get bone meal is for several farmers
to club together and buy a bone mill
and grind your own meal You can OBJ
tain plenty of bones at the butcher
shops.
| Give your poultry milk for drink, if
you have it; and every week or two in
cold weather boil two or three red pep
pers and mix in their drink. This will
keep the roup off, make more eggs.
and keep your flock healthy. Or buy
ground red or cayenne pepper; put in
the drink about a tablespoonful for
seventy-five head.
Make a change in your feed. Poultry
are like peoplt-don't want to be kept
on the same feed all the time.
