The cattle quarters in most of the
barns some time built are objectiona-
bic for the following reasons: The old,
stiff stanchions are generally in use,
depriving the cows of proper comfort.
The platform on which the cattle stand
is not high enough to keep their TANKS
out of the droppings, nor is there a
gutter in the rear to hold the solid and
liquid manure. the floor usually being
so open that all the liquid runs to waste
the best part of the dressing. There
is also no walk behind the cows, but

From reedy pool TO rest:

The sable stranger sped.

OLDEST KNOWN BIRD.
Prof. r. C. seeley Tells of ft In Recent
Publication.


''The Solenhofen slate of Bavaria"
writes Prof. II. G. Seely in his recent
little volume, THE Story of the Earth
in Past Ages" makes known numer-
Gus insects and other forms of terres-
trial life of this period, including the
oldest known bird.
"A bird is known by it's feathers;
though there is no reason why the COW
ering to the skin should not be as vari
able in this group of animals as among
reptiles or mammals. It is, therefore,
remarkable that the oldcst-kHown
bird, the archaeopteryx, has feathers as
well developed as in the existing repre-
sentatives of the class and similarly ar
ranged. The animal is an elegant,
slender bird. which is chiefly remark
able for showing teeth in the jaws.
About IL. short and conical, occur on
each side of the upper jaw.
The bird was larger than the rocin
in its body and had a tail Of which
there was bony core some six inches in
length. The wings were quite as well
developed as the legs and there are
some evidences that the former could
be applied to the ground as are the fore
legs of quadrupeds. although the feath-
ers show the wings to have been con-
structed on the same plan as the birds
of to-day.

many of the remains Of fishes, reptiles
and insects are found. is the same as

"rhe Free Coinage Problem"

"The Free Coinage Problem" is the
title of penny magazine or pamphlet,
by Lewis y. Lembitz, of Louisville.
XIV. 1t contains one of the fairest and
best discussions of the money question
TO be had at any price. IL contains in
very brief space and in simple language
as much of the early history of money,
especially in this country, as is neces-
sary TO understand the present situa-
ton. 1t discusses in a logical, unbiased
and impartial manner the probable eff
fects of the proposed free coinage legis-
lation upon all classes, and especially
upon farmers and wage-earners. 1t pre-
sents vivid picture of the present hard
lot of many farmers and shows what
kind of money will he for their best in
terests.
This little 4s-page magazine contains
more of monetary history and facts,
and more of sound argument, than
many books which cost 100 times lis
price. II makes il possible for any In
telligent laborer or farmer who can
spare one cent to become well informed
on the money question before he casts
his vote. Ten or fifteen copies can be
ordered at once for ten or fifteen per-
sons. Otherwise il will cost two cents
to send one cent. Address Present Prob

goods are light; of poorer quality, ample supplies.

the Columbia River, where last years price Of raw
nsh bids fair to be maintained, the various
les are making contracts for fishermen giving GU
twlne for new gear and putting boats and nets in
order for q vigorous ca mpaign. The Alaska pack
ers are likewise making engagements of men and

crafts viii be winging their way northward for

Der OF canneres in Alaska will be incre ascd
THIS year by the ventures of some parties not
heretofore IN the business, attracted no doubt by
the apparent prosperity of others already there
engaged. On Puget Sound also il is said that quite
a number of new canneries will be started this
year All of these things indicate that there will
pc no scarcity OF canned salmon in the fall of
1896, when the catch of the year should come to
hand, and yet, on account of the chances of mis-
haps of one kind and another, it is hard to predict
with any certainty that the aggregate amount of
the pack will equal that OF the past year.
