Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dol
lars in Half u Month.

The Homestake Mining Company or the
second inst. finished the largest clean up
of gold in its history for a like period of
time, Viz, fifteen days. Eight large bricks
OF bullion were refined and shipped to the
subtreasury at New York. They were
valued at $4,000, about $50, 900 more than
the value of any previous semi monthly
clean up. This increase was occasioned
by the enlarged capacity of the company
mills, while it is also understood that the
ore is improving in grade. At this rate
the output for the present month will be
$SSO,OOo, or s4,560, 900 year. 1t has been

SUMMER EGGS ARE PROFIT
ABLE.

The summer is the best time
with the hens, but the majority
of Earnest are disposed TO disre-
gard the facts which are Or esent-
ed, and fail TO take advantage Of
the season. It is true that as the
fall approaches the hens begin to
mott and cease to lay, but in 50
doing they are preparing for
their winters WOrk-getting
ready as We may say-and there
is consequently no loss of time in
that direction. The hens that do
not lay and do not begin TO mott
are the most unprofitable, the
cause being due to their being
Overfat or afflicted With lice,
There is no remedy but to remove
the cause, whatever it may be,
and all the condition powders or
eggzf food ever introduced will not
be of avail. If the hens are too
fat, the food must be shut off, If
the lice is the cause of the YER
min, they must be cleared out.
It is natural for the hens to lay
and when they do not produce
eggs in the summer or in the tall
the cause should be inv8stigat-
ed.
When eggs cease to come in,
the farmer sells the molting hens,
which is just where he makes his
greatest mistake, The ones to
dispose of are those that are fat
and IN nigh condition. If the
poultry on the farm have the at
tenion given them thatis receiv-
ed by the COWS the farmersswould

the locks and understand now to
correct his mistakes, He quickly
Discovers the reason when a COW

Success.

What a rich, mellituous sound
has this word success for the hr1-
man race A gentleman who is
4 reader of Stephen Crane, and
has imbibed the odd IDEAS OF this
writer and others of the same
school who express themselves
by the sound OF words rather
than meaning, mas said that the
sound of this word SUCCESS with
its Kissing consonarts is to him
like TfiecFushing Of gold quartz,
grinding OF diamond stone or
other chrystalline substance.
To most people its difficulty of
attainment would make sucasss
mentally comparable to the
physical process of breaking up
some hard substance holding
ghe riches Of earth,
And yet there should be no
difficulty. Success lies within
the reach of I'll. In the business
OF life only three things are nec-
'essary to its attainment, and
these are method, painstaking
and enthusiasm, especially en-
thusiasm, Some persons are by
nature methodical, and those
who are not must cultivate his
quality if they would win sue
cess. There must DC system in
everything whateyes the BUSH
ness Of life; an hour for every
duty, 8nd nothing left to be
done hap-hazard; everything
well planned and diligently az.
ecuted.
1t is to be regretted that most
people are deficient in the matter
of painstaking. Many great
minds have fallen into failure on
this account, and yet it is the
details--the little things which
taken together form the great
whole--weil looked after which
win success. However meager
their opportunities persons who
take infinite pains with their
undertakings always meet with
q measure of success.
Buthe WHO can carry enthu-
sissm into his life's work day
after day-who can wake in tile
morning witd > tbFill Of delight,
thankful for ohe opperturiy of
doing another good days work.
forfspd loves an earnest worker
--wlid gposts his friends and ss-
socisfas in business with . glad
heapt and u sunbupst smile, and
who can exhibit sueh o love and
confidence in his work, whatever
it may be IS to make people re-
gard'it as something superior,
and whoreturns home happy in
rememberanoe of good deeds
done, hearts made light and as-
sociations srergthened--he, is
bound To reach the very acme of
success.
