swayed by every puff of air. A hen. if
she had free access to growing oats,
would have to jump up and down until
exhausted before she could eat oats to
repletion; indeed, she would have to stop
long before she could fill her crop The
lesson Of this is. before you feed grain
to fowl, scatter it far and wide among
short dry litter of some sort. so that
they will have to hunt and scratch for it,
healthful exercise. Wheat. barley, oats
and corn, named in the order of their
value. are good poultry foods. Wheat
heads the list as richest in phosphate,
mineral and heterogeneous principles so nee
cssary for building up and repairing the
waste to which the lazy hen is subject.
In summer fowls in confinement need
plenty or green food. 1t the runs are

otherwise it will be well to buy period

and scraps from the table. Scall the
and bran and then incorporate
with the vegetables: add Il heaping tea

allow tablespoonful to each fowl. Mid

At noon, if the ''runs' do not produce
enough grass. give tine-chopped grass and

WATCH YOUR TRACKS.

A Common Fault OF Bicyclers that is
Not Generally Understood.
Many bicycle riders pay high price
for a wheel and then wonder why it is
harder work than coal shoveling to pro-
pei it over the smoothest of roads. A
well-known cycle authority: who writes
over the nom de plume of Betsy B."
says that to the ordinary observer of the
metropolitan cycler the fact becomes at
once evident that nearly third of the
wheels which are being ridden are out
of track. So common does this seem to
be that it begets an idea that perhaps,
after all, the diamond frame is not the
perfect one it is supposed to be. This
variance i'll trackage is all the way from
quarter to as much as three inches, and
it seems strange that riders should not
at once detect it. owing to the uncomfort-
ableness Of riding wheel in such
condition. When you find that the ma
chine you ride does not steer we'll, or
when the rear wheel tire gives forth a
peculiar swishing sound when being rid
den over a dusty surface, you are safe
to suspect that the wheels do not track,
and an early visit to a competent re-
pairer is advisable.-New York World.

Fad of Married Men.

The latest fad among married men
who have not yet sown all their wild
oats is to carry with them a gold-emhla-
zoned card entitled a Permit" which is
supposed to be signed by their respective
wives, and gives each one permission Ito
go where he pleases, dring what he
pleases and when he pleases," and re-
leases him from even further restraints.
The reason for this novel liberty is given
in the concluding sentence of the permit,
which reads: Il want him to enjoy life,

the companies with the great dramatic

pursuing his career at the head of his own

to Deer Lodge hospital from Carroll
some weeks ago. returned to Anaconda
yesterday. 1t has been feared by his
acquaintance that his mind was I'M
balanced, and his actions would indi-
cate that such is the case. He went
into Daneke's tobacco store and called
for pipe and tobacco. which were
given him. Then he walked out with
out paying for them. From there he
went To Radefeld's barber shop, where
he got a shave and refused to pay for
that. One of the BARRIERS was going
to make him do so by taking ii out
or his hide, but IL Tim is crazy he, had
not forgotten how to fight, and Chief
White arrived just In time to preserve

be kept in custody and II he does not
improve will be examined for his SAN
ity before the district court.

When and Where to Go For a Vacation
This Is sometimes n perplexing ques-
ton to those worn out by close appilca-
ton to business and wishing to 'get out
OF the old ruts" to recuperate by the infiu-
ence of new scenes, q change of climate
and more pleasing surroundings. A va
cation under such circumstances is abso-
lutely necessary to health, wealth and
happiness. When and where to go is the
question. There will be numerous cheap
excursions during the summer, the dates
OF which, with Q few exceptions, have not
been fixed. but will be extensively adver-
tised shortly.
The first of the season will be given by
the Union Pacific to Salt Lake. (See notice
In another coluInn). There will be others
to this most attractive city as soon as
the lake bathing season opens. II Is
probable that the rates made by the
Union Pacific to Co,oralo points will
probably attract the largest number OF
people during the season. The National
Educational association meets in Denver
July 9Th, for which a one fare rate for the
round trip available for alp has been
made, to Denver. Colorado Springs. Pu-
ebio and Manitou. and from these points
the traveller can take countless other ex-
cursious. including q trip to Pixies Peak
on the cog wheel railway that will cost
nothing comparatively.
The knights Templar excursion to Bos-
ton Will probably be the cheapest, consid-
ering the distance, Of this year. For this
occasion the Union Pacific has arranged
TO run special train from Butte about
August 81.
The Knight Templar and the teachers,
being representative bodies of the people
and having selected the .Great Overland
Route" on account of its many advan-
tages TO an educated people. the Union

securing the beat arrangements possible
for making excursions this season at a
minimum cost. Look for advertisements
