day made all the delegates happy.
Though thousands listened to the
speeches at the great pavilion
meetings, many thousands more
overran the City bound on seeing
sights.
There were parties on the bay,
at the Cliff House and at the
parks. Thousands walked through
the residence portions of the City
and viewed the wealth of semi
tropical growth, studying every
thing of interest in sight. The big
crowd now thronging the City is
intelligent and good-natured, and
many Of them have reversed the
Californian ideal of the Eastern
tourist and visitor. 1t is the gen.
eral impression at the headquarters
that the masses are well pleased
with what they see, and that their
visit will do the State much good.
A detailed account of the proceed
ings at yesterdays meetings

A DISCOVERY,
It May Explain the Cause of Mrs. Class. Suicide.

Suicide.
 CANTON, IL, Aug. 1s.-Following the death of Mrs. Mary J. Class, of St. David, who died from the effects of an overdose of morphine Monday, a sur prlsing discovery was made in the quiet village where she had made her home. Her husband, Charles Class, who died July 3l, was an old soldier, one of the most highly men in the town, devout church member and absolutely above suspicion. After the death of the couple, a cave adjoining the little cottage in winch they had resided for years was found to be con nected with an abandoned coal mine and in the underground chambers was found lot of stolen property, includ- ing sets of harness sewed in gunny sacks and new axes and picks care fully wrapped to prevent their rusting. There were also evidences that subter- ranean rooms had been used for stor- ing beer, gambling and perhaps other unlawful purposes. It is now supposed that Class and his wife were connected with the famous Quackenbush gang. several members of which are now serving penitentiary sentences for burglaries committed in various parts of Illinois, and that his wife, fearing detection since the death of her hus- band, took her life to escape punish ment

 Intentions of HIs Department.


 DENVER, Col. Aug. Is.-James VII. son, secretary of the agricultural de- partment, has arrived here on the tour he IS making for the purpose of fami- liarizing himself with the conditions and necessities of the west
 The cultivation of the sugar beet. and the breeding of cavalry horses are the two most important matters which he will investigate.
 Tt is the intention of the department | Of agriculture in the matter of seed dis tribution," said the secretary, ito pro- cure seeds of rare varieties for useful plants, and such as are difficult to ob- tain, and distribute them in such parts of the country as are suitable for their growth, and are of the same soil and climatic characteris- ties as the countries in which these plants are indigenious In pursuit of this idea, the department now has an agent in Siberia investi- gating the grasses of the elevated plateaus of that region, who will se- cure seeds of these plants if possible, and experiment with them in the arid and semi-arid regions of the west with the view of selection of such as may prove to be advantageous for feed for the stock of our great plains"

AN OPINION.
It Covers a Question of Customs Under
 the New Law.


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The attorney general, in an opinion to the secretary of the treasury, decided that goods and production of foreign country not contiguous to the United States, which are regularly i'm ported into Canada and afterward exported to the United States, are subject to the discrimination of ten per cent, provided for in section 22 of the new tariff act. and also that the meth cd of conveyance, whether by water, rail or otherwise, is not material The question whether goods trans ported through Canada to the United States under consular seal are subject to the duty has not yet been determined. The case in point was that of $90, 900 worth of diamonds which were delayed at one of the from tiers customhouses until this question was decided. The diamonds are sub ject to the 10 per cent. duty.

SEA OTTER CATCH.
The behring Sea Hunters win Come Home
 Rich as Klondike Miners.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-A private ietter from Capt. Shading of the schooner Theresa, now in the Behring sea- gives news of the catch of sea otter hunters up to July $.
 The best of luck had followed the men, as the four schooners heard from had killed 6S otters. the skins of which are worth from $50, O09 to $40, 900. The catch was as follows:
 kattler 20; Hermann. IS; Kate and Ann, ls' and Eppinger, '.
 AS the season had been open, it is expected that the otter hunters will come back as rich as Klondile miners.

views and that ones views on the
matter, all differing very widely, until
he is like the mariner without his
compass at sea.
No fixed and unalterable law can be
laid down as guide to success in
the poultry business, but each one
must have a little snap about him,
watching carefully the varied wants
of each flock. While a certain kind of
fowls may do well kept in a certain
way on a certain kind of feed, an
other kind will not seem to thrive at
all, kept in this way, but should be
supplied with something different.
For example, the Leghorn requires
fat-forming food to put them in good
laying condition, while the Cochin
needs to be carefully fed, lest they be-
come too fat and not lay at all. Elk
ercise is an all-important factor that
must not be lost sight of.
If your fowls are confined to small
runs SO that they do not get the prop
eramount of exercise, their grain feed
should be buried under straw and
chaff, causing them to hunt it out for
themselves; plenty of gravel, ground
bone, dust baths and fresh water, and
the last and most important of the
list is cleanliness.
The utmost cleanliness must be
adopted in all things connected with
your fowls, from the roosts to the
feed troughs, and the coops for the
young. Once in shape and then strict
ly attended to each day will save ten
fold the amount of labor required to
clean up after things have once become
filthy. Watch every point in connec
ton with the matter and in the end
success will be yours.

Too Much Water in the Food.

The use of large quantities of soft
food is one of the causes of diseases
in the flock. If anyone will moisten
a gill of cornmeal it will be noticed
that large quantity of water will be
absorbed. This water is not taken
voluntarily, but through necessity, in
order to accept the food offered. Nat
urally the fowls drink but little wa
time, unless deprived of it for quite
a while. When the crop is packed
with soft food, and digestion is slow,
decomposition begins, being fastened
by the animal heat of the body. When
the fowl consumes dry food, and must
seek it, the first portion is digestcd
before the last enters the crop, hence
when it drinks there is but portion
of the food eaten moistened, and the
crop is never full. This matter has
been alluded to before, but it is one
which should attract attention and re-
ceive consideration. To give soft food
when it is necessary to do so is cor
rect, but such food should be given
only in limited quantities, and the
ground food should be given dry in
the trough, if possible, instead of
forcing more water on the birds than
they really require. Mirror and

The Elements of Success in Poultry
De-
Raising.

In the first place a man must pos
ness so essential in this branch of
business. 1t is as reasonable to eX
pect corn planted on ground that
never was plOwed, and that never re-
ceived any attention until gathering
time, to yield well, as to expect to be
successful raising poultry by simply
turning them out to care for them
selves, winter and summer, to procure
their food as best they can, says f. j.
Marshall, of Sunnyside, Ca, in Texas
Farm and Ranch, February IS.
This may be all we'll enough at GER
tain seasons of the year when insects
and green food are abundant; but
during the remainder of the year they
need the proper amount of care and
attention or the profitable part of the
business will come up missing when
we square up our accounts at the end
of the year. Cholera, roup, and the
thousand and one ills that chicken
flesh is heir to, will sweep them off
like gnats before the summer storm.
One will tell you that his success
depends upon this very essential
thing; another will tell you that GER,
tain other things are the very ones.
upon which he depends, and that
other things are entirely superfuous,
and so the amateur reads this ones,

All About Pigeons.

In choosing pigeons for pleasure or
profit, much of the pleasure begins
with the choice of ones taste. We do
not advise any one, says the Stock
keeper, to take up breed or breeds
he does not like, because one will not
take the same interest in breed he
does not like, no matter how hand
some and popular it may be. Each
variety has it's own special merits, and
while some may be more salable, and
of course more profitable to raise and
sell, good specimens of any kind will
find ready purchasers. Fancy pigeons

Charcoal and Green Food.

Charcoal and green food are too Of
ten neglected at this season. The
cheapest and best charcoal is obtained
by charing some wood in the kitchen
stove, breaking it into small pieces,
and at once put within reach of the
fowls. Green food is more difficult.
Cabbages are usually the most easily
obtained, but unless grown on the
place are too expensive to use. But
waste cabbage, turnip and beet tops
and Feelings, potato and apple par
ings, etc., will all be eaten if cut into
suitable size. Luckily there is a food
that is fully equal or even much bet
ten than all these-one that is cheap
and usually easily obtained. Cut
clover hay fed either dry or steamed
is invaluable. Farmers particularly
should not overlook this ration right
at hand. Glover is rich in lime and nj
trogen and is most valuable of all in
that it provides food that contains
bulk, thing greatly craved by all
poultry. Farmers can afford to use
this on a clean dry floor as a scratch
ing material in which grain has been
scattered sparingly A profitable flock
and one that will lay hatchable eggs
will be busy at this a whole day long.
But to such a ration should be add
ed meat or bone. Be jealous of the
family meat scraps. See that they are
cut up fine and go to the poultry. At
this point bone mill should be intro
duced. After you have bought and
used one you will quickly fall to won
dering how you ever got along with
out it.
So, then, mind the lesson; it is the
details of the business at all seasons
OF the year you want to study and
carry out. Success comes not without
work and thought in the poultry
line. A good way is to exchange ideas
with some other wide awake poultry
keeper. Cultivate the acquaintance
of such men, discuss what you read
with them, and thus fix it in your
own memory Poultry Advocate.

are curious study for one to look
up. They are known so far back in
history among the ancients that it is
not at all surprising to see so many
take hold of them for pleasure and
recreation. Indeed, none but those
having them can imagine the comfort
and enjoyment one can derive from a
flock of these feathered beauties.
Barbs are conservative breed;
they must not be altered changed,
or have their fame shaken by
innovations. Indeed, they are kept
by men who do not care to stir them
selves to alter the present state of af-
fairs, and we think many of their
admirers can see the heavy odds
against amateurs showing as it now
stands, and most wisely keep their
birds at home.
A Mottie Tumbler should be of one
color all over the body, except rose
on the shoulder. This is small, even
ly marked patch of black and white
feathers. This should extend to the
back and form a V shape, and point
toward the tail. With every moult
the birds get lighter and lighter.
White is very Objectionable about the
head.
The loft is best if made to face the
south, as pigeons like a good deal of
sunshine. Have two entrance ways,
or sometimes one pair takes posses
sion of a single entrance.
The ice pigeon is a German toy,
known to the Germans by the names
of ''Ers," ''Mehl' or ''Selberfabige-
taube." In size they resemble a COM
mon pigeon. The beak is dark and the
eyes real bright gravel, head smooth
and the feet heavily feathered; color,
light blue, the feathers so blooming
they appear powdered, frosty or iced.
