THE COPPER CAMP.
john Pilmer Reports the Opening Of
marvellous Ore Bodies With
this Falls Work.

John Pilmer, who has been fore.
man at the Peacock mine this sum
mer, came to Weiser this week.
MIR. Pllmer gives very interesting
report of the operations of the com
pany and the developments in the
mines. lie states that the smeter.
which will have capacity Of 70 tons
per day is nearly completed. He
says it will be in operation about the
lirst of the year They expect to
have it ready in 80 days, but un-
looked for delays may occur in GET
ting fully under way. The company
has 40, 600 bushels of charcoal on
hand, burned under tile direction of
A. j. Crook, and will be able to run
continuously when it starts up. The
smelter is II miles from the Pea
cock. The ore will be transported
on sleds.
At the Peacock there is face OF
90 feet of ore in the open cut This
is, however, not the entire width oil
the ledge; it shows to be fully 10C
feet between the walls. A shaft sunk
70 feet at another point on the ore
body makes a rich showing. 1t is
Mr.. Pilmer's opinion that the entir,
face of 60 feet will average over q
per cent copper. A lot of 4S0 ton,
of second class ore left by those who
formerly worked the mine was care

Winter Raised Chicks.

Eggs are too valuable in winter to be
used for Matching purposes unless one
is confident Of securing good matches
and of raising the chicks, says an ex-
change. To use a dozen eggs from
which only six chicks come and then
lose three Of them. means an expen-
diture of four eggs for n chick, and
no one can afford the cost in that re-
spect. The heaviest loss OF chicks is
with hens-not with incubators and
brooders-and this fact should not be
overlooked. 1t is admitted that in the
spring and summer, when the hen has
everything in her favor she will be
more s~erviceable than the brooder, but
in the winter, when cold winds, ice,
snow and rains prevail, the hen has
a difficult undertaking to care for her
self instead of attempting to raise a
brood, and as a rule the hens are for

mer's family, but to derive all the pro-
fit Obtainable, a certain number Of
principles must be followed which may
be epitomized as follows: The first is
to utilize for the fowls the
Of the locality or farm itself without
going TO any great special expense.
Fowls should be fed IN the least val
liable substances or ailments which
could not be otherwise utilized. Grain,
etc, being Of some commercial value,
should be aGdcf m small quantity as
a complement, and particularly for
fattening. The poultry yard should be
daily opened so that the fowls may
wander about in the vicinity in search
of insects and waste seed; these sub
stances, Of nc value. should play an
important part in their maintenance.
This principle, however, should be APP
piled, reckoning the neighborhood of
crops, which fowls might injure. In
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1897-02-04

such a case the yard must be closed
at certain times. The extent of the
poultry yard should be in proportion
with the demand available. From this
point of view the neighborhood Of
large towns Is a reason for giving great
importance to the poultry yard, be-
cause the sale Is abundant and lucra-
tive, and rearing Is just as cheap as
in strictly rural districts. To feed
fowls cheaply it is good to place dung
heaps within their reach in which
seeds and insects abound. In a poul-
try yard are reared hens, turkeys.
g~uinea-fowls, pheasants, peacocks, pig
cons. ducks, geese, and swans; some
for flesh, others for feathers or down.
The establishment expenses of a poul-
try yard should always be as small as
possible. 1t must be separated from
the other part Of the farm by a wall,
wire-work or very thick hedge. A few
trees are useful to give shade and at
night shelter to the hens, turkeys and
peacocks which do not always care to
return to the house. There must be

Some Live stock Facts ard Figures.

some Live STOCK facts ana flgurcss
w. p. Anderson, an agent Of the
Union Stock Yards company, says: In
many respects this has been one OF
the most remarkable seasons, so far as
at least two branches of the live stock
trade are commemorative and sheep
that we have experienced for years.
In the former branch of the trade,
commencing with the movement OF
cattle from the pastures of southern
Texas to the pastures Of the Indian ter
ritory, and the purchase of stock cattle
for the Panhandle pastures. there are
many influences out Of the ordinary
which govern this trade, both directly
ana collaterally. The advice of the
different cotton exchanges TO the plant
ers of Texas to curtail one-half OF the
acreage of the cotton crop was the
cause of many cattle being moved into
the Panhandle country north OF the
quarantine line, so that they might find
feeder markets other than the cotton
seed mills Of Texas afforded. This,
and the still further curtailment of
the cotton crop, through unreasonable
weather, reduced the Texas cattle feed
ing numerically from about 325, 900 in
1895 to about 100. 900 or 1901 o. in 1896.
However, this shortage will not be
felt fully until next year. The railway
reports show an actual increase Of the
number OF cattle shipped from Texas
for the first eleven months of 1896,
and the reports of the Kansas City
stock yards for the first eleven months
show IN increase Of receipts in the
Texas and Colorado cattle country,
which goes to prove that many more
cattle have gone into the feed lots of
Kansas and Missouri from the sections
mentioned than ever before. The rail-
way records show that upwards Of
5000 JOG cattle have been put on feed in
Missouri, Iowa. Nebraska and Kansas,
Illinois and Wisconsin. From October
to the middle Of December is has been
almOSt. impossible on large railway
systems to procure cattle cars enough
to do our local business, compelling

movement of Texas, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and Utah cattle for Montana, the
Dakotas and northwestern Wyoming
ranges was greater than last year,
while Nevada, Washington and Ore
gOn contributed a greater amount for
stocking the northwestern winter
ranges and for the Chicago market
than usual, their contributions espe-
cially from Oregon and Washington
being chiefly to the eastern Montana
and North Dakota winter ranges, while
a gOOdly number of them were taken
into the Bear Paw countries in west
ern Montana. This movement will ag-
gregate about 340.0 00. OF the cattle
that were taken into the South DakO-
ia and northwestern Wyoming country
and some parts of Montana in the
spring of 1896. on account of the I'M
certainty of an abundance Of winter
grass and the cheapness Of Nebraska
corn, many of the t~wo-year-olds were
shipped back into the Nebraska and
Iowa feed lots. There were about 49,
900 of this kind, which will lessen the
range supply in 1898 from northeastern
Wyoming and South Dakota.

Sewell, the well-known poultry artist.
1t is an excellent illustration of the
grand carriage and beauty of this
variety. Some writer's claim they
are the original variety of the Leghorn
family, and others give that honor to
the Browns. But it matters little
about their history. 1t is sufficient that
We know they are the most popular of
the Leghorn family, and that comes
from the fact that they are larger and

WEAVING the Dairy Calf.

One of the reasons why dairying is
a failure in some localities is that the
calf is desired for beef making, and to
give him a good start it is allowed to
suck for from three weeks to three
months, says Rural Life. This will
spoil a COW for the dairy, as a rule, and
| at any rate il takes the time out Of her
| period of buttermaking, which will re-
duce the butter yield for the year be-
low profit. If the calf sucks three
months and is then weaned the cow
may be expected to go dry in a few
weeks, or half dry at least. and she
will not pay for the feed and the
trouble. To get a paying mess OF milk
it is absolutely necessary to milk the
| COW from the first. The first" means
to some dairymen when the calf is first
seen. 1t is removed Immediately and
not allowed to suck even once, but the
milk is drawn and fed to the calf. BY
this practice the COW knows no other
way to have the milk drawn and does
not worry for the calf, so everything
goes smoothly. Other dairymen think
the first time the COW should be MIXED
is when the milk is first good for use.
The first secretion is not r milk, but
colostrum, and is designed to physic
the calf. All agree that the calf must
have this first milk, but some let him
help himself and others do not. Many
of the most advanced dairymen strong
ly advocate never letting the calf suck.
Others, and the greater number, prefer
to let it suck until the milk is good and
this is what the writer recommends.
After the milk is good for use the COW
at once increases it in quantity, and
good butter fat is too precious for calf
food. There is no difficulty in taking
off the calf then without any objections
from the mother, if you use common
sense and good tact. If she is inclined
20 worry tie the calf by her side while
you milk for the first time or two, and
she will be ~reconciled, but on no ac-
count permit it to suck after the milk
becomes good for use.
