Lots of Gold at Mlch,picoten.

The first party of Michigan prospec-
tors to arrive from the newly discov-
cred gold region at Lake Wawa, seven
miles from the shores of Lake Supe-
rior, back of Michipicoten, Oht., was a
party OF eleven residents of the $500. a"
They substantiate without exception
all that has been said of the great
richness of the new gold field. They
were among the first outsiders to ar
rive at Wawa and all secured promis-
ing claims, which were stalxed out and
for which application will be entered
at once. In all the party will make
application for 1000 acres Three
members of the party were left on the
ground to protect their interests.
Many samples of quartz were brought
back by them and they say that where
the veins are laid bare the gold par
ticles can be seen everywhere in the
quartz.
The distance from the mouth of the
Michipicoten river TO Lake Wawa is
not TO exceed seven miles and the
party experienced no difficulty getting
in and out With their camp equipage
the trip was made In about three hours
time. The location is such that min
ing machinery can be cheaply trans
ported there. The quartz is of ma
ture that is easily mined and milled
and from all appearances there are in
exhaustible stores of it.
Large numbers of prospecting par
ties are fioclSing into the Lake Wawa
district by every boat and a lively min
ing camp of goodly proportions has al
ready sprung up.

Miss Webb is totally blind and needed
her daughters services at home. A

Miss Webb to change her mind and

Chichen cboiera,

This Is an exceedingly fatal conta-
glous disease, which is widely distrib-
uted over this country, and causes
enormous annual losses, especially in
the central and southern sections. The
first symptoms Of tho disease is, in the
majority Of cases, yellow coloration
of that part Of the excrement which is
usually white, quickly followed by Vio-
lent diarrhoea and rise OF temperature.
Other common accompanying symp-
toms are dropping of the wings, stu
por, lessened appetite, and excessive
thirst. Since the disease is due to a
specific germ, it can only be introduced
into flock by direct importation Of
this germ, generally by fowls from in
fected premises. AS soon as the symp-
toms OF the disease are observed "the
fowls should be separated as much as
possible and given restricted quarters,
where they may be observed and where
dlslnfectants can be freely used. As
soon as the peculiar diarrhoea is no
ticed with any Of the fowls, the birds
OF that lot should be changed to fresh
ground and the sick ones killed The
injected excrement should be carefully
scraped up and burned, and the inclos-
ure In which It has been thoroughly
disinfected with a one-half per cent
solution Of sulphuric acid or a one per
cent solution Of carbolic acid. which
may be applied with an ordinary water
ing pot. Dead birds should be burned
OF deeply buried at distance from the
grounds freQuented by the fowls. The
germs OF the disease are taken into the
system only by the mouth, and for this
reason the watering troughs and feed
ing places must be kept thoroughly free
irom them, by frequent disinfection
with one Of the solutions mentioned
Treatment Of sick birds is not to he
recommended under any circumstances
The malady runs its course. as a rule

only be checked with great difficulty

the prospects are better than they have
been for years, nor is the encourage
ment entirely in prospect merely, since
the sales that are taking place from
week to week show steady and con-
tinuous stiffening of prices with a very
marked increase in demand. All the
beef breeds are bringing good iglres
for cattle Of both sexes and all ages.
Market cattle Of good quality and I'm.
lsh are also doing well for their feed
ers, while the cheap stuff without
breeding or capacity for taking a fin
ish are losing about as much money
for their owners as usual. The mar
ket conditions all declare with renew
ed emphasis that there is profit in
good cattle and little or none in scrub

promising, losses during the winter
having been kept fairly low, and while

the number to be marketed will be
short, the quality is such as to afford
competition of a pretty active kind for
good native cattle in July, when the
range season opens. The feed condi-
tons on the ranges will be quite favor
able, and the rather limited number
that will run on them will have ten
aency to send them to market in very
superior condition. The range cattle
men have been for the past two or
three years paying large and increas-
Ing attention to their breeding. They
don't regard anything as too good for
them, and it would surprise most read
ers if they did but know how large has
been the number of car loads of pure
bred bulls that have gone West this
season. This policy is having very
decided effect upon the cattle that will
come from the ranges this season, and,
as each season passes, the impress Of
pure blood will become stronger, so
that in the future, in all years when
they have feed on their ranges, they
may be expected to be strong COMPETE
tors with the market cattle grown on
the farms.

Standard Varieties of Chickens.

Cochins.-The four Cochin classes
are very popular with breeders. They
are second to the Brahma classes in
the meat breeds, weighing but a pound
lighter than the Light Brahma. Old
and experienced breeders of Cochins
are pronounced in praise of their quail
tiles as profitable fowls, they being
hardy, good winter layers Of rich,
brown, medium-sized eggs, and fairly
good table fowls. The chicks grow
we'll and develop rapidly under proper
care. The Buff variety is the most bred
of the Cochin class; their soft, mel
low, buff tone offers an attraction to
fanciers that is hard to resist. In col
or the Buff Cochin, male and female,
are Of a rich, deep, clear buff, uniform
In shade throughout except the tail,
which should be q deeper buff or cop
perish bronze, undercolor same as sur
face color, but Of lighter shade and
should extend to the skin. In breeding
select females as near as possible to
the desired shade Of buff, as free from
dark or white in wing and tail and Of
as even a color as can be. To such
females mate cock of deeper shade,
with some little black in wing, and tail
Of deep buff Of a coppery luster. This
mating will produce good results in
cockerels and pullets. The heavy leg
and foot feathering so characteristic Of
the breed should have constant care
and attention. While the feathering
should be abundant, all semblance to

EowIa for Errn.

Ohe OF the difficult things to learn in
poultry culture is, that II is not tho
number, but the kind of individual
mems or pullets which are kept that
makes the difference in the balance To
thelr credit at the end of the year. saws
writer in Poultry Herald Probably
tnere are great many who keep chick
ems that do not realize the vast differ
ence In the individual hens in a flock
we can assure them if they will but
take the pains to watch their fowls In
TINS respect they will find some of the
mems laying more than double the num-
Der Of eggs some Of the others are, and
besides there being a marked difference
IN the size Of the eggs. A very grave
mistake among a great many is that
OF keeping all the old hens over for Law
ing stock, and housing them and the
laying stock together. The result gem
orally is few if any eggs, as the old
mems naturally domineer over the pull
iets and obtain the majority Of the feed
mus becoming fat internally. which
wiz hinder If not entirely stop them
laying; while pullets, which need the
most food to develop them and bring
them up to egg production, have to do
with the little they can get after the
hens have been satisfied, and conse-
quently few pullets in the flock will
begin laying until well along towards
spring. BY selecting the choicest OF
hens for breeders for the following sea-
son and giving them a pen by them
selves, disposing of all the others and
depending alone on the early bullets
for the winter eggs, the result would
be quite different.

whltowash for Poultry House.

A capital whitewash is made by mix
ing common water lime cement with
sweet, SKINNED milk to the proper
consistency. The following is the gov
eminent whitewash, and fine white
wash it is: Put two pailfuls of boiling
water in barrel; add one-half of a
bushel Of well burned, fresh Quicklime;
put in quickly one peck of common
salt, dissolved in hot water, and cover
the barrel tightly to keep in the steam
while the lime is shaking; when the
violent ebullition is over, stir till well
mixed together, and, If necessary, add
more boiling water, so as to have the
mass like thick cream, strain through
a sieve or coarse CLOTH Make a thin
starch Of three pounds Of rice flour and
one pound Of strong glue, having first
soaked the glue in cold water, and to
the latter mixture add two pounds of
whiting. Add this to the lime wash,
and also sufficient hot water to dilute
to the proper consistency; keep hot
while applying. 1t will require about
six quarts of the mixture to 100 square
feet of surface, and 1t will last remark
ably well. 1t goes without saying, that
