considered light, but it weighed as
heavy as lead IN his brain, until he

The best lot of chickens we ever
raised were fed on dry grain feed from
the very start. They were in a brood
er house, and side by side with other
broods fed OH mashes and mixtures of
all kinds. This particular lot had the
end brooder, and were allowed full lib
erty to roam over a large patch of
woodland. The feed was placed in
covered troughs, and consisted of a
mixture of cracked corn and rice and
whole wheat, which was the only
grain feed used. The chickens, hav-
ing unlimited range and plenty of
shade, picked up all the animal and
vegetable feed they required, and ate
the grain feed WREN they felt inclined.
They grew like weeds, and beat the

The y Rays in Dentistry.
ShadoWgraphs have been shown at a
dental convention in which all the de-
tails of the teeth We're distinctly ap-
parent. Gold. silver or other filings
in the teeth appeared clearly. One OF
the shadoWgraphs attracted particular
attention. 1t Was IA portion of the Jaw
of a man in which there was a rouble-
some tooth. The man wanted the tooth
extracted some time ago. but it would
not come out, and the dentist, in his
efforts to draw ii, had wrenched the
tooth severely. The man suffered a
great deal of pain before the failure,
but more afterward. A leading ape
cialist was unable to make a satisfac-
tory diagnosis, and advised that the
jaw be shadowgraphed. This was done
by Dr.. w. j.. Morton, and the result
was the revealing of the fact that the
dentist had been trying to draw the
wrong tooth. The disturbance was
clearly shown to be in the adjoining
tooth. The latest discovery of d.. Nor
ton, who has probably done more in
developing the Photographic possibili-
ties of the y ray than any other man,
is one that will cause much uneasiness

The methods of growing celery, like
many ether things, have been greatly
simplilied during recent years. varie-
ties have also changed, and instead of
celery being raised merely for autumn
ana winter use, it is now frequently
met with in the public markets as early
as July-hence can be had nearly the
entire year. AT least two crops are
taken in one season in celery districts.
For early celery the seed is sown in hot.

Nicotine stands unrivalled as the
safest, surest cur for scab and ticks.
1t is the only remedy that does not in
lure or shrink the sheep, while stimu-
lating wool growth. The reason why
waste tobacco is not universally used
for a sheep dip is the impossibility OF
preparing a bath from it of uniform
nicotine strength. Another objection
ls heavy freight charges on weak to-
bacco extracts or bulk scraps and
stems. At the Skabcura Dip Co.'S
large factory in Chicago, nicotine is
obtained OF uniform strength, guaran-
teed twenty times stronger than any
tobacco extract ever made before.

Strong support for Berry bushes.
Wire is very commonly used as a
support for raspberry and blackberry
bushes, this being stretched tightly
along stout stakes, the end stakes be-
ing or necessity very stout and very
firmly braced. But this does not suf-
lice to keep the wire stifiiy in place.
Where wires are stretched along each
side of a row already, they can be
made much more efficient by tying
them together with cross wires every
ten feet or SO. This pulls them to-
gether and keeps the bushes upright
and in place. Where there is no sup
port at present and support is to be
given the bushes, the plan shown in

square stuff are held up by stakes of
the same material and rigidly attached

SAW MILLS CLOSING DOWN.
Lumber Supply Is Greater Than the
Demand.

Duluth, Special.-Mitchell & Nc
Clure's saw mill, the largest in Du-
luth, and which usually cuts 10000
600 feet or more, will close down for
a period of two months, which practi-
cally means for the balance of the
season. This will throw about $50 or
300 men out of employment. This
company's docks are now piled 81 full
that they cannon hold any more. There
is absolutely no sale for lumber in the
Eastern markets, GLd, with no sign of
relief ahead, the company has been
forced to this action. The mill men
say that for a time this year there
seemed to be some hope for the lum-
Der trade, but since the Chicago con-
vention it has been impossible to sell
any.
The prediction is made that within
two weeks every saw mill in Duluth
will shut down, with probably one eX-
ception. This would throw 1000 men
out of work, and would be severely
felt by business men.

King Prempeh found at Coomassie
only a meager number of gold orna-
ments, and hollow ones at that, says
the New York Times. The value of the

only about e., 900 and made a poor
showing when exhibited in London, as
compared with the results of previous
raids. Now a correspondent writing
from Accra tells a story which if true
"a very large "if"-will make the
British officers wish they had not left

says: Some Years ago a slave girl of

attract the tickle fancy of a chief,
whose head wife tolerated no rivalry.
TIC reproach a husband is generally
uGeless; in Coomassie 1t is dangerous.
The lady, wise in her generation, fore
bore to risk her head, but sent for the
executioner and caused the ears and
lips Of the too fascinating maiden to be
removed, rendering her such an object
as can only be seen in savage king
doms. History does not say If the ex-
pedient answered the purpose Of re-
storing the chiefs wandering affections
to their rightful owner, but the slave
girl developed, not unnaturally, into
q woman with an undying thirst
for revenge. Lately she sought an
audience with the governor, and
she informed him that the real
treasure Of the Ashantis lies buried
some fifty feet below the soil, in a dis
used shaft of a mine near Coomassie,
and readily undertook to point out the
spot. Digging is being vigorously car
ried on, already more han a fourth Of

the treasure amount to anything like

petition will be fully betrayed, making
