RICH GOLD STRIKES.
Silver Mine at Creole Develops Into "a
Gold Producer.


Gold Producer.
CREEDE, Col, January IA big gold
strike was made to-day in the New York
and Chance mine at this place. Hereto
fore the mine had been a rich sill
yer producer and enriched the owners
several hundred thousand dollars, and
now it has developed into a gold pro-
Queer. The strike was made OH the

day carries fourteen ounces OF gold and
400 ounces of silver. Henry Wolcott
and Judge f. O. Lefevre of Denver are
the principal owners.

Great interest prevails here over new

(From the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon.)
Mr.. Fred Taylcr was born and brought up
near Elmira, N. Y, and from there en-
listed in the 1S9th regiment, N. Y, V. l.,
with which he went through the war and
saw much hard service Owing to exposure
and hardships during the service, Mr.. Tay-
lor contracted chronic diarrh Ha from which
he has suffered now over 30 years, with abb
solutely no help from physicians. BY
nature he was wonderfully vigorous man.
Had he not been, his disease and the exper-
iments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing which
afforded him relief. He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour a day on an average, and
he was reduced to skeleton. A year ago he
and his wife sought relief in change Of
climate and removed to Geneva, o., but the
change in health came not Finally on the
recommendation of F. j. Hoffner, the
leading druggist of Geneva, who was cog
infant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try a
box. GAS drowning man grasps at a

Taylor has since taken more of the pills and
hisprogress Is steady and he has the utmost
confidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well as
in his youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con
siderable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his sufferings

This is best done when they are
confined in little stalls or when only
two or three are together. Like the

The POULTRY YARD.

TURN down the fame of the brooder
lamp and look out for sudden rise in
the incubator's temperature when a
warm day comes.
PUT pan of fresh water near the
hen house where the poultry must pass
in going to roost, that none may 20 to
bed thirsty. Many will stop any drink
in the morning when they come out.
POULTRY that is yarded often fails to
thrive from lack of grit. Ground she'll
does not furnish sufficient. Provide
sharp gravel or some of the granulated
rock now made and sold expressly for
poultry.
SET the coops upon a ridge facing
south or east. A little difference in
appearance or position of coops saves
conflicting claims by the mother lens.
Keep the hens shut in stormy days, and
after the grass is up until the dew is
off.
HAVING handy places of shelter in
the poultry yard where the chickens
can easily run under in time of sud
den shower, will save having to go
round and hunt up and dry the little
fellows after it is over, and will often
save many lives The shelter will also
serve to keep off the hot SUMS rays
when desired.
WORMS and beetles form most USE
full diet for the hen, for she lays eggs
that are largely albumen. Shut up,
the animal matter the bird finds is very
limited, and they show their apprecia-
ton OF meat, bones, etc, by greedily
devouring what is thrown them. LIB
erty is best, but next to it is ground
and dried meat and cut green bones.
HAVE the girls and boys watch the
hen turkeys and notice where they
steal their nests. Care must be taken
to protect outlying nests from foxes,
especially nights. If boxes and bar
rels be placed in sly retreats, the tur-
key hen will be very apt to choose a
laying place in them, and when estab-
lished she can be shut in nights.-Farm

In this age of progressive stock-rais-

many farmers who pride themselves on
the pedigrees of th3ir cattle, sheep or
swine pay little or no attention to the
breeding of their poultry. Every farm
er has more or less poultry and It Ia
safe to say that less than one.half Of
the farmers who are breeding blooded
stock can make any claim to having
pure-bred poultry. Nothing is more
pleasing to the eye on fines stock
farm than flock Of pure-bred poultry
and nothing is more disgusting than to
see farm with herd of blooded cat
tie or swine and lot of uncared-for,
scrawny, mongfei fowls running about
the yards.
Any farmer by the outlay Of from 50
to $40 for eggs or $40 to $25 for fowls
from some reliable breeder can lay the
foundation for stock of bred
poultry in one year. The cockerels
can be sold from 81 to 50 each by ex-
pending small sum in advertising
and should bring more than enough to
cover first cost. But even if they are
sold on the market 1t has been demon
