For a Rabbit Farm.

A gentleman of Norfolk, Va, pro-
poses to rent an island up the
James river known as Chinkotink
Island and stock it with 500 Aus
tralian rabbits. These rabbits null
tiply very rapidly. They litter
once each month, at the rate of FIVE
to litter, and at this rate of in
crease it would only take about four
or five months for the farm to be
stocked with over 1000, 900 rabbits
In the Fall the large ones are to be
killed and dressed for the market,
and their skins are to be tanned
and sold to the furriers and made
into all sorts of raiment. The cap
ital required will be about 81 900 to
start. Other expenses are light,
and the only structures necessary
are a shed in which to dress the
carcasses and another shed in which
to prepare the skins.

DehOrning Cows.

The process of dehorning COWS is
quite general here now. Some
object to it on the grounds of cruel
ty. That the operation of taking
off the horns is painful to the ami
NAL is self-evident to anyone who
witnesses the operation, but l do
not consider the residual effects in
furious. When one sees how peace
able the cattle become, when there
is no more goring each other, and
he observes other favorable results,
the feeling of cruelty passes away
and he is very apt to be converted
to the practice. Whether there is
anything in the coincidence or not,
it is the testimony of some of the
best dairymen that the flow of milk
is increased and the quality i'm
proved.-Oramge Judd Farmer.

Hog Notes.

Give pigs plenty of water in hot
weather.
To maintain good health keep
the feeding pens clean.
Glover makes the cheapest and
best pasturage for growing pigs.
Do not undertake to make the
house slops take the place of water.
1t is usually not a good plan to
breed SOW to farrow her first litter
in the Fall.
A young SOW should not be bred
to farrow her first litter before she
is year old.
The feeding and management of
the herd has much to do with its
healthfulness.
Glover pasture is not only a
healthy food but very nutritious
one for growing pigs.
Keep the growing pigs in a
thrifty condition, so that they can
be readily fattened later on.
Pigs will make the most rapid
gain by feeding literally with grain
while there is good pasturage.
Feeding the sows plenty of slops
made of middlings and milk will
help them to give plenty Of milk.
Feeding to the pigs is one of the
best ways of disposing of small
and imperfect fruits and potatoes.
The health of the SOW and the
growth of her pigs will depend very
much upon the treatment given at
the time of narrowing.
Wheat middlings made into
slop with milk makes a good milk
producing food for a SOW that is
milking a litter of pigs.
The aim in keeping stock should
be to secure the largest and most
rapid gain in the shortest time;
this is especially with hogs.
A SOW kept for a breeder should
always be made so tame when
young as" to be easily handled at
any time that it may be necessary.
The brood sows at least should
have the run of good clover pas
ture, as it is never advisable to con-
fine them to dry grain diet when
it can we'll be avoided.

infectant.
If you get an incubator at all,
get it early.
Bone meal will help to prevent
leg weakness.
If the fowls are free from lice,
the will lay better.
Feed the laying hens largely on
wheat at this time.
If you need poultry-house, now
is the time to build it.
Boiled oats mixed with cornmeal
is an excellent egg producer.
Hens will not lay well in Win
ter unless kept comfortably warm.
Where eggs are the chief object
the non-sitting breeds should be
kept.
1t is poor economy to let the
chickens crowd too closely in the
nests.
Now is a good time to burn sui
phur in the house and then white
wash.
Hens should never be kept so
fat that they will not exercise or
forage.
If they have been kept growing,
March pullets will usually lay in
October
If young stock is used for feeding
it should be from the earliest
Matched.
Hens will not eat their eggs if
given plenty of broken bones and
oyster shells.
The best kind of charcoal for
poultry is corn roasted until it is
a dark brown.
Healthy, thrifty fowls are nearly
always early risers; hence early
feeding is best.
Usually hen ceases to lay when
improperly fed, or when in dis
eased condition.
Two and three year old hens
make the most reliable sitters and
the best mothers.
Color is essential with market
poultry only when it Injuries the
looks of dressed fowls.
Mate your fowls two OR three
weeks before the time when the eggs
will be needed for incubation.
A chicken that is continually
chilled rarely amounts to much,
because its vitality is used up.
In many cases it is better to kill
a few sick hens than to run the
risk of injecting the whole flock.
With all chickens it is an item to
induce them to work and then they
will not worry so much for liberty.
If large size, and weight are de-
sired, select large hens, but the
rooster should be active and vigor-
Gus.
One of the best ways of feeding
bones is to pound them up in small
pieces so that she fowls can swallow
them.
If the fowls appear droopy and
seem to lose appetite, little oil
meal in the soft food will be bene-
fetal.
If the eggs are kept in cool
place and are turned half over once
every day they can be kept for
Matching month.
II the hens can be made to
scratch for their grain, they will
keep in better health, have better
appetites and will lay more eggs.

Woman suffrage has met WITH a de
feat IN Oklahoma, which is distinctly
honorable to its leaders. A bill to ex-
tend the franchise 10 women was
beaten 10 the territorial legislature a
few days ago chiefly because OF a wide
spread belief that the women, II they
got the ballot, would Immediately
wipe out the Infamous divorce laws
which DOW disgrace the territory
Could there be a higher tribute to the
moral influence OF woman's work in
politics than this proceeding virtually
impliesY II is practically confession
Of fear that woman, II she we're per-
mltted to vote, would labor for moral
ity, for social reform and for laws that
would make Oklahoma a fit place Of
for respectable families.
The leaders Of the suffrage can well
afford 10 stand squarely on the record
hey have made IN the territory.
Their defeat isone that presents a dis
testimony TO the integrity
Ind yigOr Of their cause.

MITcHELL's LAST BANQUET.

II was 10 old DE hot Willamette
Where this banquet board wa
spread
To the honor OF our hero,
NOW the "straddle bug") who's
dead.
On his "silyer couch" the settin' SUI
Has thrown its latest ray,
Where In his "straddlinR" agony
He tries hard TO hold sway,
This stauUch old silver war horse,
Whose power none dared dispute,
TIL time has sllvered all his locks,
Likewise his chin "hair-suit."
They come around me now
To say, my. senate days are o'er,
That shall never take that seat,
Nor fool the people more.
They come aud to my face they dare
To tell ME now, that /,
"Their own liege lord and master
born,
That /, ha ha, must die"
What Is this death ~ know ID
not"
"I'Ye won these mauy years."
I've met, old Harvey's 1.-TWO edged
sword"
Likewise his double shears.
My chances looked no better then,
The fight was just as hot.
III fight him now, and Simon too,
And Bourne, and all the Pops"
Ho Benson blow my double horn,
Call all our mobiles In;
Call each bold sergeant, arm him well
And bring quorum In;
Hold high my honor In this hall,
Make all these members swear
They'll vote for me from first 10
last
As long as they have hair.
Many hands were busy then
The banquet soon was spread,
And many were the TASKS OF wine
That looked so nice and red.
Then from the upper chambers,
From the caucus rooms and halls,
Came all the 'Colonels OF the push"
And filed along the walls.
There were'many kinds Of noises there
or course most OF them chat,
But mid all the other noises
Was heard Fulton's great horse
laugh.
They slowly fled around the board,
Some with faces quite sedate-
While at Its head sat Mitchell grave
Who would not be migrate
"Fill all your stomachs full my men,
Drink all this sparkling wine,
And as each guest shall drink my
health
Let him promise TO he mine.
Are they all here my voters trueg
Mine eyes have grown so dim,
III they are not here, 90 bring them
now
And get them In good trim,
Now Denny bring these men TO time,
And Benson count quorum,
Bring young Gratke into line,
Keep him away from Bourne.
Now call the roll my scribe true
And let us haYe the vote.
Now quickly add your columns up
And submit IL 70 my gloat."
Then those CLASSY eyes were notion
less,
They were set deep In his head,
And while he yet goes straddllng round
He Is politically dead.
Yours truly,

MITCHELL AND BOURNE.

In the opinion Of a large number OF
people the time had arrived when II
was proper to hold up the Oregon leg
islature. A repetition Of the style Of
proceedings for several years-unllm-
tied cIerkships, endless jutkets and
sLam Investigations, packed apprOpri-
alton bills, bOOdle legislation for new
Offices and commissions, $1,000 TO
merely revise a house jOurnal,-had
20 be put a stop TO. The peoples In
terest required this. IL mas been
held up II at all, IN the interest Of
new deal and better methods. 1t
took sand TO hold IL up. Mr.. Bourne
has not been deficient ln that quality.
Mr.. Mltchell's methods Of holding
up the legislature were just opposite
OF this. His leaders we're the old |
regime, some OF the salient featCr1s OF |
which are above referred to. lis
leaders have offered some reform /
measures and made some demOnstra-
tions OF retrenchment. But his selec-
tion OF Senator Brownell, who has
been the chief instrument OF jobbery
and extrayagance 10 the senate 80 far
as his leader shows that Mitchell
organization Of the legislature would
have been fatal TO .aIl retrenchment
and reforms. The record OF the
Mitchell leaders In the senate proves
this.
Mitchell cannot understand men
like Bourne. A Republican leader
compares Mitchell to Napoleon in
this respect. The latter lamented
that he had found out the high quail
ties Of General Moresco too late. IL
seems probable that Senator Mitchell
will have 10 lament, in similar man ]
ner, that he discovered Mr.. BOurne's 7
qualities too late. Mitchell may be a
good Judge OF barnacles, but he never
could comprehend man incapable OF /
falsehood or treachery. That is the y
difference between him and man
like Bourne. Bourne works with men \
Of his own type. So does Mitchell,
Men must be judged by their asso-
,ates. I
