r deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread at
tentio1. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs. Warren county. and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno-Lithia
springs. Through countless ages tho
foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into basin,
and has been reduced by nature into
Q pure black earth unmixed with roots.
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
Ing it with mineral salts. until now
there Is q layer Of indicated mud
about two acres in extent and from
ten to twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
der, Sam Story. who had brougs:
rteumatism home from the war and
suffered with it for years. He was at
tempting to dig a drainage ditch
through the mud deposit, and after in
dulging in this useless experiment for
Q week or more, gave up the idea, bu:
meanwhile had been cured OF his rhea-
0atiEm.
The fame of the mud began to spread
end amicted congregated at the Springs
from everywhere. The method of US
ing the mud was at first very primi-
tive, the patient merely sitting down
IN the deposit where nature had laid
It. But since then improvements have
been made. beautiful hotel erected,
and the mud bath developed into a
luxurious experience. The accompany
ing cut shows how It's done.

Mr.. r. Lindsay Coleman. ex-president Of
the National Cycle Board of Trade, AMI
president of tho Western Wheel W orks, In
speaking on the cut in bicycles, says:
% This cut in the price Of 500 wheels has
occasioned no surprise. We expressed the
opinion five years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeav-
oring to maintain . fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed on Crescents would become the
standard price for other high grade wheels
"One Of the secrets of the success of the
Western Wheel Works is. that We not
only guarantee our wheels. but we guar an
tee our prices rs well, and the purchaser
OF Crescent in February has the satissac-
ton Of knowing that his neighbor who
purchased . Crescent in July paid tho
same price as he did.
81 do not anticipate that a still further
reduction in the price of bicycles will b
made this year.

made number of incubation ex-
periments upon guinea pigs with
different samples OF oleomar-
garine. The samples were purchased
in open market near the places where
they were manufactured. Sample NO.
proved fatal, causing the death OF the
animal in the one instance IN TWO
months: in the other, in two weeks.
An examination showed the lungs con-
gested, the liver soft and pale, one OF
the kidneys badly congested. and 5 dis
tinct ulcers in the intestines. like ty-
phoid-fever ulcers. The bladder was
distended and the urine albuminous.
At the present writing the nature OF
this disease has not been determined,
but the fatal effects were produced by
the oleomargarine. Another guinea
pig inoculated with a sample OF oleo
oil, taken from lot used in the man
ufacture Of oleomargarine, died within
three weeks, the autopsy showing bad
ly congested lungs. liver dark. blood
vessels congested, and the small intes-
tines containing bloody mucus.
Five months after incubation with
another sample of oleomargarine, the
pig which had been used for the expert
ment was chloroformed for examina-
ton. The animal was in fair condi-
ton, but the left lung showed incipient
tuberculosis, and this disease was also
apparent in the spleen, and there were
several calcareous tubercuiar nodules
adherent to the sternum. A prepara-
ton nade from this same sample had
shown the presence of germ which
could scarcely be anything but the tu-
berculosis bacillus. The result of the
incubation confirmed this diagnosis.
The NEGOTIATIONS of all the animals
were made by introducing in the side
q bit Of fat the size of a small pea.

Rice for Fowls.

Rice is said by those who have tried
it, to be the very best Of food for fowls,
and that it possesses more fattening
and the rice growing regions of the
south, rice meal or broken rice can be
purchased from one-fourth to one-half
cent per pound, and is largely used as
a feed in those sections. Poultry men
within easy reach Of the southern or
gulf seaboard can thus get cheap
poultry food at small cost for freight.
Rice will never produce diarrhoea in
fowls or animals like some grains. but
will check it when produced by other
causes. With broken rice, kaf.ir corn
and wheat, We not only have a good
ration for chicks, but an ideal food for
broilers.-Southern Fancier.
American Ostrich Farm.-The Amer
lean ostrich farm at South Pasadena,
Cal, was established in 1854, forty-two
ostriches Deing imported in a sailing
vessel from South Africa, and requiring
three months for the voyage. Since
then over 900 birds have been raised.
and the flock is increasing at the rate
of about 100 chicks yearly. The aver
age life of an ostrich is about 20 years,
the food fed in California consisting
mostly of alfalfa and sugar beets. The
eggs weigh about three pounds each:
the infertile ones are blown, and OBJ
tain a ready sale as souvenirs. The
feathers are plucked every nine months
and are graded into their various
lengths and colors, varying in price
after processing according to the style
in vogue from S. to 500 per pound,
the latter for the long white plumes
taken from the wings. Only those on
the wings and tail are plucked. The
body feathers are shed once year, and
are gathered in the corrals. Every
feather has selling price.-Ex.
Feet of the Sheep.-Keep an eye on
the sleeps feet. They should be
trimmed regularly and kept in good
condition. This is done by pairing OF
the surplus growth of the horn, which
will otherwise turn under the feet,
gathering filth, which rots the sole and
causes lameness. By neglect, this is
quite possible to turn into the con-
tagious foot rot by incubation by the
virus-which may come we know not
whence, but it is in the air-and then
cause serious trouble.-E1

unite in saying that Minnesota butter
interests are handicapped because our
butter makers lack training and expert
ence. They say that a butter maker
ought to have two years training in a
factory before they enter the agricul-
tural college, and then ought to act as
assistant in creamery for another
year before taking full charge. There
certainly is little Involvement for a
young man to spend two years in study
at his own expense, for q business
which pays scarcely better than any
trade in which even apprentices receive
wages. But We believe that trained but
ter makers will command an increase
Of salary sufficient to compensate them
for their expense in preparation. If
they can not, then the training is a
waste Of time and money.-Northwest

Postal Department Favors increasing
Money Order Offices.
The Postofiicc Department has adopted
policy of general extension of the money
order system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any postOfiice
wanting money order facilities should he
given them. Complaints have been con-
stantly fled by business houses that their
correspondents at villages are unable to
send money orders because their post
Offices have no such facilities. During
the last fiscal year almost 2I.OOO.OOO
money orders were issued. amounting to
little less than S2OO.OOO.OOO. The inter
national money orders issued during the
year. purchased principally by wOrkmen
sending money to friends or relatives In
foreign countries. amounted TO $1b.OOO.-
600. while the amounts drawn on the
United States by foreign countries did
not exceed &6,OOO.OOO. During the Har-
rison administration there was large ex-
tension Of money order offices, about TO-
600 having been established. During the
last four years the number was Increased
BY only 1000, on the theory. 1t - said.
that there were too many pOstoffices. The
total number Of money order Offices now
In operation IL about y, OOO, and the mum.
Der probably will be increased to SO.OOO
before the next fiscal year. General Sup.
crintendcnt Metcnlf Of the money order

Of maintaining money order service at
a postofilce is less than o cents II year,
even IL the Office transacts no money or
