REPLY OF THE BANKS
Butte Financiers Answer the Question
Put by Pulitzer.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
The Steady Drain of Gold During
the PastTwo Years Is Felt Here
Paper Currency Largely
Takes Its Place.

The First National and the Silver
Bow National banks of Butte received
on Monday the following telegrams
from the New York World:
New York, Jan. eve to-day ask
all national banks whether, IL Presi-
dent Cleveland makes a call to replen-
ish the gold reserve, they will consider

To this telegram the First National
hank of Butte responded that II would
take $50 900 or $50. 900 of the bonds II de-
sired. 1t would furnish legal tender
notes for the bonds. which Is equiva-

motive which would induce people In
this part of the country to invest in the
bonds would be the motive OF patriot
ism. Private capitalists would be the
ones TO subscribe to the bonds. Banks
are business institutions and must
realize a fair profit on investments.
Three per cent Is a good investment In
the East but is not a good investment
out here, where 10 per cent. can be got
on the very best of security.
For the first time in the history OF
Butte there Is a great scarcity OF gold
here. Up to a short time ago gold was
the chief circulating medium In Butte.
A few years ago bank bills were q
scarcity and ell transactions were m
gold and silver. The steady drain OF
gold the past year or two has been fet
here and now the banks have a very
limited supply of gold on hand and
are unable 20 get a supply from any
source. Gold Is preferred in Butte, as
IL Is much more convenient In paying
off employees at the mines. Paper cur
rency for the present has, however. al
most entirely taken the place of gold
as a circulating medium in Butte"

bleS
Aswine breeder Of experience writes
thus to one Of our exchanges about the
age ct which brood sows cease to be
profitable:
.The first litter, as a rule, Is not 90
valuable as the following, The second
ond, third and fourth are generally
reckoned the most profitable, but I
have known sows to have eight or ten
ttters Of good pigs.
while a COW brings a good litter in
number, suckles them well and they
are fairly level In size, that SOW is q
money-getter, and man is foolish to
sell her and replace her with one he
knows nothing about. But immedi-
ately after SOW brings small, unlev-
Ell filters, and seems in any way deteri-
Grating as breeder, she should be
fattened. Some sows begin to deteri-
crate after the second or third litter.
Some never are any good; the quicker
these are got rid Of the better. Some
think old sows more likely to have the
milk fever; in my opinion, 1t is more
likely to happen to SOW with her
seventh or eighth litter than to one
producing her second or third, If care
be used. No doubt a four or five-year-
old SOW, IL made into bacon, is bit
hard; but as they make up in the open
market as much as one who has suck
led one litter only, this is no obstacle
to keeping them on while they bring
up Improbable lttters."

For the Drinks.

If there is one thing more than an.
other that prevents hens from LAYING
In winter it is being obliged to drink
snow water and furnish the heat from
their bodies to melt it. And also. IL
there Is one thing more than another
that keeps their owner from watering
them, 1t Is going out some cold morning
and finding dishes frozen solid and the
seams all gaping. Procure some deep
baking tins, square shape, to hold about
three pints; get those made of one
piece of tin, with folded corners. 80
they will not leak. These cost 10 cents
each and will last for years. When
these get frozen solid they will not
burst and can be emptied without melt
Ing by pressing up on the bottom with
the ends Of the fingers Of both hands,
while pulling of with the thumbs on
the rim, first on the ends and then on
the sides. Now get some blocks, say
two inches square and six long, and
fasten them to the side Of the pen
where 1t will be most convenient to get
ut, and so the top will be about six
Inches from the floor. Set the dish on
this, and drive two small wire nails
Just over the rim and bend down
slightly, and the arrangement Is COM
plete, easy to remove for cleaning, and
high enough 90 the hens will not
scratch much dirt into It, and SO near
the side they cannot roost on It. As
this arrangement Is not patented and
not expensive. see no reason why
your hens should not have the benefit
Of clean drink this winter.-J. w.

Lime whitewash is a saving grace in
the hen house.
When you zee male fowl sitting it
is a safe bet that he is hen-pecked.
The hen is q fool that lays big eggs

Whenever an animal gets to a point
when 1t is making no gain It Is sure to
begin encroaching on past accumula-
tons Of profit.
When animals are bred before they
are fully matured. whatever defects
they may have will be transmitted to
their offspring.
There is q difference between food
for promoting growth and for promot-
animal before fattening 1t.
Sheep will live on fodder and hay.
but they will thrive IL some corn and
oats or bran Is added to the ration.
After you feed IN animal enough to
keep It alive or from getting poor It
does not take much more to make It

Sheep are better bred and more in

The Breeding Turkeys.
New blood shows more improvement
with turkeys than with any other kind
Of poultry. The best foundation is the
common locks. Discard all the males
and procure q gobbler Of some pure
breed and the next year let the gobbler
be procured from some flock different
from the first. A sure plan is to use
a gobbler Of one breed the first year
and one Of different breed the next.
As to which is the best breed of tur-
keys, we doubt IL any breed Gun be
said to excel the others. The bronze
turkey is the largest, but the point to
observe is to secure hardness and
vigor, without regard to size, and this
must be done by selecting the best
hens and procuring o vigorous male
each year.
