THE BEST BREED OF FOWLS.

The question of which is the best
breed Of fowls narrows down to this ::
What fowl do you like best? Which
style and color takes your eye? Can
you give the proper housing and care
that the tenderer breeds require
Will you have to subject your fowls
to just ordinary houses and care? The
breed one fancies most will in the
majority of cases receive the best care,
which naturally results in the most
profit. If one prefers fine feathers
and a beautiful form and carriage
rather than strictly economic fowl,
there are many breeds from which to
make selection. II a general pur-
pose fowl is wanted, the list to select
from was never so long as it is to-day
If beauty and utility combined are
wanted, there are several breeds to
select from, either one of which should
satisfy any reasonable person. There
is much truth in the saying, "feed
makes the breed" The best breed in
the world, whichever one may be SO
considered by the owner, will be q
failure and disappointing if kept
under unfavorable conditions and in
judiciously fed. Therefore we would
add to the above, "feed and care make
the breed" We do not know of any
breed which with proper care and feed
will not Prove reasonably profitable
both in pleasure and money. In
making selection ones circumstances
and surroundings should be taken into
account; where one breed would be
perfectly hardy and thrive we'll,
another breed would not do at all we'll.
Therefore it behooves one to guard
against letting a sudden fancy run
away with good Judgment.
Those who are just considering the
subject, I would earnestly advise
taking plenty Of time to look the field
over thoroughly before making up
their minds. One is apt to be favor
ably impressed with the appearance
of certain breed, which after due
thought would be rejected for good
and sufficient reason, whereas if on
the first impulse it had been bought,
1t would prove disappointment and
entail a loss. Those who are contin-
ually changing the breed very seldom
are satisfied with anything and usually
end by giving the whole up in disgust.

In a recent article on Coffee and Cocoa, the
eminent German Chemist, Professor Stutzer,
Cocoa by the addition Of potash, and Of the
process common in Germany in which ammo
MIA is added, says: THE only result of these
processes is to make the liquid appear turbid
to the eye Of the consumer, without effecting
a real solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose of So
called solubility is, therefore, more or less in
spired by deception. and always takes place at
the cost of purity, pleasant taste, useful action
and aromatic flavor. The treatment Of Cocoa
by such chemical means is entirely objection.

ammonia would be entirely unstable but for
the supplementary addition of artificial favors

sumer." The delicious Breakfast Cocoa made
is absolutely pure and soluble. No Chemicals
or dyes. or artificial flavors are used in it.

GROWING ONIONS FROM SETS.

Onion sets are the small bulbs pro-
duced from late-sown seed on poor
land and taken up in the fall and
dried. They are planted on rich land
in the spring in rows twelve inches
apart, and three inches apart in the
rows, requiring about twenty-four
bushels to the acre. The plants grow
quickly and make marketable onions
by July or August. 1t is necessary to
watch the crop, and when the swollen
seed stems appear these are twisted
and broken down to prevent the lorna
tion of blossoms, by which the growth
of the bulb will be checked. Onions
may be kept quite safely if thoroughly
dried and stored in dry, cool place,
and if frozen in the winter will Ut
take any harm if kept in that condi-
ton and thawed gradually IN the
spring. -New York Times.

TRAIN IN AN AVALANCHE.
Snow Slide Five Miles Long in the AL
leghenies.

Snow slides in Pennsylvania covering five
miles, a few miles west Of Lock Haven, on
the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad, blocked
traffic for day.
While freight east-bound was running
along the base OF the snow-capped Alleghen-
les, with the ice-bound Susquehanna below,
it was suddenly submerged by an avalanche
o! dry snow, which coursed down the noun
tain side between Richie and Hyner like
wheat from an elevator and with all the
freachery OF quicksand.
The train was covered almost the entire
length. Crews from the east and from the
west to the number of several hundred
trackmen went to the rescue and worked
the train through the snow slides for dis
lance of five miles.
The mail train ran the gauntlet and scraped
the white wall, which pressed threateningly
against the windows, almost crushing them.
While John Reynolds's engine was speed
ing along with train of thirty loaded cars
the new fall of STOW rushed down the noun
tain sides like a mighty flood, carrying
with 1t stones and loose timber. The
scene was something frightful. A
terrible rushing noise attended the
slide, filing the valley and the gorges
with a swish and roar that were enough to
unnerve the stoutest heart. Reynolds's train
was overwhelmed and in few moments the
avalanche covered almost all of 1t.

If the old wood of the raspberry
bushes has not already been cut out,
leaving only the last summers growth,
it should be done now. The long
canes should be cut back. Tender
varieties can all be bent over one way
and weighted down or pegged down
and covered with three or four inches

The Face of a Clock.

We believe it was George Augustus
Sala who once said he would think
himself safe in betting a fve-pound
notes that not more than one person
out of score could tell correctly Off
hand, in what way the hour four is
represented on watch or clock-dial.
Most people. without looking, would
say ", instead Of lii. And why
should it not be "? Well, here is
the story. The first clock which kept
anything like accurate time was con-
structed By certain Henry Wick, in
1870. It was made to the order of
Charles V, of France, who was called
'The Wise" Wise he certainly was
in some respects, but he did not know
everything, thought he liked to pretend
that he did. When Wick brought him
his clock, he looked closely at its
movements for some time. eyes," it
works very WE'LL" he said at length,
but you have got the figures on the
dial wrong" "Surely.. not. your Ma
jesty," said Wick. Eyes, that four
should be four ones" "You are
wrong, your Majesty" 81 am never
wrong" Numbered the King. Take
it away and correct the mistake. F"
Wick did as commanded, and SO to
this day we have iii, when we really
should have ". 1t is not generally
known that watches may be used as
compasses, yet such is the case. Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the
south is exactly half way between the
hour and the figure XII on the watch.
For instance, supposing that it is four
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
four to the sun, and II on the watch
is exactly south. Suppose that it is
eight o'clock: point the hand indicat-
ing eight to the sun, and the figure X
on the watch is due south.-Ladies'

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

San Juan county has been brought
into unenviable prominence within the
past week by the commission within It's
borders of one of the most atrociouS
crimes in the history of the state. Mr..
Leone Lanterman, who had borne
most excellent reputation for integrity
and worth, has been foully murdered
by man Of more than twice his years,
and apparently for no other reason than
that Lanterman, as school director,
would not consent to the engagement
of the murderer Straub to teach the
district school. There can be no doubt
that the fearful crime was deliberately
manned and committed with all the
malice that the law deems essential to
conviction of murder in the first degree.
The terrible deed was committed by an
assassin of the worst type, coward
who had not the nerve to face his UNI
armed victim, and who, not satisfied
with one cold blOoded murder, sought
with equal diabolism to kill his victims
young half brother and his sister, a
wife and mother, both entirely defence
less and as free from thought of trouble
as a babe in arms. What excuse can
there be for such q creature? Who Is
safe when such fiends in human shape
are permitted to be at large? And Par
berry-what of him? Is he entitled to
any more consideration than Straub?
Is his crime not as great in the sight of
God or man as if it had been his hand
instead of Straub's that pressed the
trigger of the rifle that sent young
Lanterman to his grave? The hunter
takes his trained dog with him to drive
the game from cover that he may shoot
it, but the dog realizes nothing of the
death that follows his masters shot.
There is no malice i'm what he dOes-nO
deliberate intent to harm. For the part
that Parberry played in the dreadful
tragedy no code of moral ethics and no
civil or divine law can find excuse.
There should be no talk of lynching.
1t finds doubtful justification only in
cases where justice is defeated 10y tech
nicalities of law or by the cunning of
those who make its evasion study
Give the accused q fair trial. That
much the law says they shall have and
it is the duty Of every citizen to respect
the law. The blood of Leo Lanterman
cries out not for revenge but for justice,
and his murderers can ask no more.
The case calls for prompt and effective
action. Let justice be done and let it
be swift and sure.

of County Commissioners.

In reply to the question, "Does the
authority now exist in the board OF
county commissioners to levy a county
tax for the support of the common
schools of the county," Assistant Atty.
General Haight says: off the repeating
clause of the revenue law of 1898 had
the effect to repeal all of section Is,
chapter 127, laws 1891, there would be
Il serious question whether chapter 6S
of the laws OF 1895 is valid law. But
inasmuch as the repeating clause of the
revenue law of 1893 abrogates only a
portion of section lG, chapter 127, laws
of 1891, leaving the main body of the
statute intact, there is substitute law
which chapter IS of the laws of 1895
can operate, and therefore chapter 6S
is a valid and effectual law"
Inquiry has been made Of the attor-
ney general if the law requiring the
records and books of the county sur
vevor's office to be open for inspection
constitutes such employment of the
county surveyor that he is entitled to
compensation by the county for each
office day of the year without other
employment in behalf of the county.
This inquiry the attorney general gives
no opinion upon as there is Il case now
pending in the supreme court i'll which
the question whether the surveyor is
entitled to S. per diem for keeping his
office open is involved.
