Causes of Roup.

When a bird has catarrh, scroiula, heart-
disease. consumption or diphtberia, it is as
crlbed 10 roup. The disease so prevalent
and kown as roup, Is at first catarrh, then
pneumonia, and then consumption, accord
ing TO the different stages. Tuberculous
diseases. however, may affect the bones,
bowels and throat, as well as the lungs. An
English experimenter asserts that he has
nroved that tuberculosis in fowls is entire
" distinct from that which affects the hu-
man family and the mammalian animals,
and that it Is the result of filthy and I'M
healthy surroundings being contagious
from fowl to fowl, even ap-
nearing when new 1ocks are
mi into yards where It had pre-
viousy been, If The yards were not thor
oughly cleansed and dislnfected before the
fowls were put in. 1t has been claimed
that fowls cannot contract il from the hui
man race or from animals, as some expert
,nents made by feeding them for three
months on infective tuberculous matter
from consumptive human patients and
from tuperculops horses and cows ndi-
Gated Systematic cleansing and disin-
fecting Of poultry yards, the removal Of
excrement, and feeding on clean surfaces
with care in the selection of birds from
healthy situations, are means which give
an amount Of projection from incursion
and spread Of the disease. while ISOLATION
Of suspected animals, or better. killing out
and dislnfection may be advisable when the
disease is once established

Rotation Of Fertilizers.

Whenever much manure is used, as has
10 be the case on gardens, the soil often
becomes surfeited with one kind or form
Of planr food. while it is deficient in 9TH
ers. Stable manure is most largely used in
farmers gardens. After several years Of
such manuring the soil becomes what the
Scotch call muck hidden. and needs a
change. 1t IS then that commercial mineral
manures come into demand by the soil.
They not only supply the mineral plant
food that crops require. but they also al
low the surplus OF carbon ana nitrogen 10
be worked off. II the garden has lately
been mainly fortified with stable manures
try commercial potash or wood ashes with
phosphate for change. The effect will be
a good one.

Our Present Navy.

The Navy Department has just

list aud stations of the officers
as we'll as the full list of all of
the vessels in the navy, includ-
ing those which are building and
those which have been acquired.
An examination of the tables
shows that we have at present
301 vessels, of which 236 are
available for war purposes, the
rest being unservicable or under
construction. The Registry of
the Navy of the United States,
which was published on January
1, 1898, listed only 141 vessels, of
which 100 were available for
service, so that in a few months
which have interviewed between

The stories of the big amounts
that returning miners from the
Klondike are now bringing home
are not the only ones that far
off country is furnishing at the
present time. The accounts
given by men who have returned
to this section from Alaska are
by no means as glowing as the
accounts of the strikes made by
no means as glowing as the ac-
counts of the strikes made by the
few lucky ones.
Among those who started out
to make their fortune in the fro
zen north was A. M. Wilson of
Challis, who arrived in Ketchum
last Saturday. Mr.. Wilson says
that the stories we read in the
newspapers are lies. The steam
ship companies are booming it
for all it is worth and are show
ing nuggets as large as your fist
(taken from their safes). They
have sent out men to boom the
place, and a large portion of the
gold that was brought out last
fall and claimed to be theirs has
been found out to be all company
gold and the men were paid to
say it was theirs. The news
papers are reaping q harvest
both from the people and the
steamship companies, and why
shouldn't they keep it up +? All
in all, it is one great big corpor'
alton swindle.
Mr.. Wilson on his return trip
took q look at the mines in
British Columbia, which he says
have also been greatly exagger-
ated, and he returns better pleas
ed with Idaho than ever. He
will start for Seafoam in few
days, were he will resume work
on his mines in that district.

Oer hills and mountains clear,
The meadow lark Is singing

The daises and the lilies

Seem to greet us with new pleasure,
But, Oh they seem but few.
Among the thousand beauties
Which greet is day by day,
Or the flowers which droop in silence
Alone to wither by the way {!
The summer harvest now is here,
We work both late and early.
The mower battles louder STILL
The men are ever weary.
But, Oh we sit in silence
When our weary work is DER,
To think of those we love
Who fight on Cuba's shore.
They march Ia lines all bravely,
Or rest in the scorchIng sun,
They cannot say lilSeus-

For oft when least expected
The call to arms is heard,
They spring to their feet in answer
But no man speaks . word.
Then let, US all be thankful,
Let not our spirits sink,
And when our work is DER
Let us of our brave men think.
And ask of God blessing
To send to Cuba's shore;

AGAINST TRADING STAMPS
Stockton Merchants Have Enough of
the Scheme-Freight Rates

The regular meeting OF the board OF dl-
rectors OF the Merchants and Manufacture
crs' association was held last evening.
The secretary reported that he had a conter-
ence with Assistant Passenger and Freight
Agent Luce OF the Southern Pacific railway,
and the latter informed him that the re-
quest of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association for equal freight rate( per mile
from this city to San Joaquin valley points
as are now charged from San Francisco into
that territory had BEEN denied by the
Southern Pacific.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
secretary to ask the CITY council to appoint
special committee to act in conjunction
with a similas committee from the assocla-
tion regarding the future contract Tor the
cremation OF garbage and all matters per-
tanning thereto.
1t was decided to give banquet to the
members. of the association durinV the
month of January about the time that the
new board of directors take office.
Several newspaper articles were submitted
from the press of Stockton showing that
two hundred merchants of that city
had signed an agreement to dis
pense with the trading stamp. The
merchants who signed the agreement with
the Trading Stamp company soon discov-
cred that the scheme was no benefit to them,
and that the Trading Stamp company had
not carried out its agreement. The Trad
ing Stamp company there promised to its
customers, as it did in Los. Angeles, to adj
vertse extensively in the newspapers the
scheme and its advantages, but only once or
twice had such advertisements appeared
The Stockton papers publish interviews
with many OF the merchants, and every one
denounced the trading stamp proposition
as delusion.
The following new members were elected:
Mcdonald Grain and Milling company, Sher
wood & Sherwood, and Chicago Wall Paper
COMPANY.
