Treatment of Weak Hens.

When a hen becomes very fat she
not only is poor layer. but will be-
come broody, droopy at times, have leg
weakness, and be unfit for anything
but the pot. Such hens should be fed
only once day, at night, the meal to
consist of pound of lean meat to
twenty hens, with handful of grain
scattered for them to hunt up. They
will then be hungry during the day,
will search and work for food, while
the inducement of few grains thrown
out at night will cause them to keep at
work until late. Meat contains little
producing elements, if lean, and
will greatly promote laying as soon as
the surplus fat is removed, which can
only be done by compelling the hens
to exercise. If the hens are kept ON
this exercise diet for week or ten
days they will be in better health after.
wards; and if they begin to lay, and
lay we'll, the one meal per day may be
continued.

Oregon Hop Growers.

Hopgrowers in Oregon, who have
sought quality rather than abundance
in their product, have reason to feel
satisfied with their seasons work. The
returns in sight are not large, but with
a good and growing demand and pro.
duct OF excellent quality, there is a
prospect that the hopgrower, who de-
termined not to abandon the business
without one more trial, at least, will
be reasonably rewarded for his persist
ence. Already considerable sum of
money has been distributed where it
will do the most good-that is, among
the pickers of the crop-as reuslt of
the years effort, and there is reason to
hope that growers will receive suita.

IN the face of the encouragement of

squads for Market.
Success in raising squads for market
depends, first, upon suitable cote.
This should be large, airy and provided
with plenty of nests. Second, upon
proper care, including the keeping of
the place clean, providing suitable
food-wheat, peas, very little cracked
corn and salt, and giving the birds a
chance to fly, either in a large wire
Enclosure or, better still, at large.
And third, upon the stock. There is
no better foundation for this than the
common pigeon, those with white
plumage being preferable because
white squads sell for rather better
prices than colored. Such birds,
crossed with runts or dragons, the
runts being preferable on account of
size, will give the best possible stock
for squad raising. Doubtless it can be
made to pay when a good market for
the squads can be found. From one
pair of old birds about six or seven
pairs of young can be raised in a sea-
son. If there are but six pairs, that
will give pretty good product, and
as these birds often bring excellent
prices, as much as three dollars is
/ possible to be received as the income
from single pair of old birds. But
to receive such a sum it is needful to
get good price for the squads. Com.
mon pigeons can be purchased almost
everywhere at 20 to 80 cents pair
Runts are occasionally advertised, but
would be quite expensive to purchase
A good pair of runts would be worth
probably SO. The squad raiser, how
ever, should buy only runt cocks, anC
these need not be the best ones, so tina
he probably could get them at tw,
dollars to three dollars each. H. S

nomination of Gov. Upham would
most surely throw the state to the
democrats. IS the personal ambi-
ton of single man, or the inter-
ests of few party bosses to be
permitted to prevail at the risk of
party defeat? The sagacious politi-
clan learns first what the people
want and then places himself at
the head of the popular column.
Can it be that anybody in this
state seriously intends to do the
opposite this year? 1t is not i'm
portant that any single man or set
of men have office; the question is
which shall prevail, the party,
which is the people, or the self
seeking politicians.

The Incompatible Chicago s Alton.

In these United States of America at
least, and it is highly probable that
throughout the entire world, the
official record for the safety and wei
fare of its passengers made and main-
tanned by the Chicago q Alton Railroad
cannot be surpassed if indeed it can be
eQualed.
Over its completely rock ballasted,
dustless roadway between Chicago and
Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis
Chicago and Peoria and st. Louis and
Kansas City, eighteen magniticently
appointed express trains are run on
uniformly fast time every day. But in
spite of this heavy passenger traffice
the official records show that from
December +, 1879, to December t, 1890,
eleven years, there was no passenger,
who was in place as a passenger, killed
on Chicago 4 Alton trains. Moreover
there was not a passenger seriously
injured, to the extent of losing limb,
an eye or IL member of any kind during
that time.
During the entire period of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition in
! Chicago, when it was not an uncommon
thing to find the usual passenger traffic
! of the road increased two, three and
| four-foId, and special excursion trains
and extra sections of regular trains
were very MANY, there was not an
accident Of any kinda most remark
able record.
Besides being America most popular
railroad, the Chicago & Alton is the
Pioneer Dining Car Line, the Pioneer
| Pullman Sleeping Car Line and the
Pioneer Palace Reclining Chair Car
Line, and the best line from Chicago to
Peoria Illinois, Denver, Colorado and
! Hot Springs, Arkansas.
| Be sure that your ticket reads over
the Chicago & Alton Railroad, when its
matchless and direct lines can form
the whole, or even part of your
! journey.

Even Money Bet That Sharkey Does
Not Remain Six Rounds.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 1.-The Ma
tional Athletic Club may have to select the
referee for the Fitzsimmons- -Sharkey fight
tomorrow night. Martin Julian, Dan Lynch
and several other interested parties met at
Sharkey's training quarters last evening,
when the question was discussed. Lynch
and Julian both submitted a number of
names. but no one proved satisfactory to
both Sides
After some delay it was finally decided to
meet Wednesday morning for a final con-
sultation. If no satisfactory agreement can
be reached inside of one hour the club will
select the referee according to the articles
Of agreement.
Sharkey and Fitzsimmons are both in
dulging in light work. Sharkey expects to
scale 1872 pounf's, which will probably be
five pounds more than "Lanky Bob Billy
Smith. Danny Needham and George Allen
will be behind Sharkey, with Julian, Hickey
and Stepzler likely to second Fitzsimmons.
Everything is In readiness for the contest,
and bigger crowd than witnessed the Cor
bett-Sharkey battle is confidently expected
Even money that Sharkey does not stay six
rounds with FitZSimmonS is the favorite
betting proposition here. and thousands of
dollars have been wagered on this basis.
The heavy race-track bettors from the east
are all solid for Fitzsimmons, and while
20 to are the prevailing odds in favor of
the Cornish man, several bets of 500 to $40
have been recorded.

splendid defensive fighter countering well

ward. and that there should be no doubt
as to the position of Yale when the agree
ment of the managers would be submitted
for the final vote. Most of the preliminary
work in regard to the reuniting of the two
colleges has alrady been. done; both par
ties know just where they stand and what
is expected of them. Walter Camp will be
the mouthpiece for the Yale managers, and
it is fully expected by the students that in
