to do this it should be burned.

pretty high figure, but that the crop

doubt. Crop reports are nearly always
exaggerated to keep prices down. The

the west side of the building is occu-

Outside the frontentrances stands the
figure of ''Leadville," statue made Of

Hens Need 3 supply OF SAFE.

We have referred to the matter of
furnishing salt for fowls in these coll
umns once or twice, and expressed our
belief that the moderate use of this
condiment is beneficial. Now we find
that by experiment in the New York
experiment station it has been demon7
strated that the use of salt at the rate
of one ounce to 100 hens each day is
beneficial, and at the trials the hens
that were fed salt produced more eggs
than those that were fed without salt
ing their feed. 1t has been our prac-
tice to salt all soft feed given to our
poultry, at about the rate food for hui
man use is sailed. This, we believe, is
about the proper condition in which to
give it, and that benefit will result we

ICoPYRIGHT, 1861

The Hottest mining city in the world,
Ieadville, Col, comes before the public
this winter with the well-established
claim of having the largest ice palace
ever built The work of construction
occupied the full month of December,
the laborers working in two shifts,
night and day. Toward the completion
of the building the force of men num-
bered over 200. Leadville now offers
to her thousands of visitors, from all
parts of the United States, at once the
greatest ice palace and the grandest
scenery in the world. 1t is built on the
summit of the great continental divide,
10000 feet above tide level, and is

reached by the Denver & Rio Grande
railway, which at Tennessee Pass, rs
miles farther westward, reaches the
greatest altitude of any similar railway
on the globe. Leadville rests in the
great basin of the Arkansas river,
which takes it's rise within sight of the
city, at the summit of the main range
of the Rockies.
Nowhere in the world is there such
a background for an ice palace. The
glittering castle of the Ice King sits
on the top of Capitol hill, at the out
skirts of the city, commanding from
this eminence "a grand view of Is miles
of the Arkansas valley. From this CEN
trail point of vantage the whole basin
and the entire city of Leadville spread
before the eye in beautiful panorama.
The Leadville ice palace is nearly
three times as large as Montreal's,
larger than ST. PauPs and greater than
st. Petersburg's. Covering nearly three
acres of ground, it extends in it's longest
dimensions $50 feet, and measures 800
feet across. It's walls of solid ice blocks,
each two feet thick, are 35 feet high,
ornamented in front by two lofty tow
ers, 40 feet through and 90 feet high,
with octagonal sides 31A feet thick; and
at other angles in the walls are eight
round towers, two of them 65 feet in
height and four of them 40 feet. A
complete wooden building stands in
side the ice walls, with lofty pillars
and arched roof, and is intended to re-
main permanently. The pillars are all
encased in solid walls of transparent
tce-so clear one can almost read
through them-and none of the wood
work is visible to the eye.
