WATER BARREL SLED.

such as is shown in the accompanying
illustration, all lifting is avoided. The
sled is about four feet wide and the
runners about five long. The cross
pieces are of two-inch boards and should
be mortised into the runners to give
strength. TO keep the barrel from
sliding off the sled when passing over
uneven ground, blocks cut from 2x4
are nailed down to the cross pieces Of
the sled in such way that they will
fit snugly about the bottom of the bar
rel. The longer blocks should be hewn
out. With these blocks there is little
danger of the barrel upsetting. This
sled being small and light is useful
about the farm, where only light haul
ing not requiring more than one horse
is to be done.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Cause of Leg Weakness.

Now that the young roosters are run
ming at large they will grow rapidly if
properly fed, but should the weather
become damp they may suddenly show
weakness in the legs. If they eat and
seem well otherwise they will soon
come in proper condition, as the weak
ness is caused by the birds growing in
height rather than in breadth, the legs
seeming to grow longer. Such birds
show the effects more on sudden
change of the weather than at any other
time, as if rheumatic. Keep them in a
dry place, feed plenty of bonemeal,
and they will not only easily get over
it, but will eventually be the largest
ones in the fock-Farm and Fireside.

Grasses for Late Pnsturinx.

The ordinary common millet, as well

moved off or grazed. The giant Ger

in summer, after the grass has given
out from lack of rain, such quick grow

vide large supply of green food until

must not be expected. When intended
for pasture the Hungarian grass can be
used a. any stage of growth, as it is not

Cracked Wheat for Chicks.

In wheat-growing localities it is al
ways noticed that young chickens
around the barns are always unusually
thrifty during the wheat harvest. They
pick up the scattered wheat grains and
soon get to the stage where they will
acquire a full suit of feathers. There
is no better material either to make
growth or feathers than wheat in the
grain. For very small chicks the grain
must be cracked, but they soon become
able to swallow whole wheat grains,
which is better whole feed for fowls
than anything else.

Phenomenal Advance in Parrot
Copper Stocks
LEADING ALL THE OTHERS
Boston and Montana Slumped a Little
--RepubIic Resumes Payment
of Dividends,

The trading in copper shares on the
Boston Stock Exchange today, after the
holiday of yesterday, was characterized
by several special features, chief of
which was the phenomenal advance of
Parrot from AZ to 30. In view of the de-
olson of the supreme court of Montana
yesterday in the Boston and Montana
receiVership case, it was expected that
the stock of that mpa would drop
several points and the expectations We're
realized, for it opened this morning at
$3.50, a drop of 10 points from the closing
figures of Thursday night, but under
strong buying pressure, rallied to 800 at
the close of trading.
Parrot opened at 501a, an advance of
one point from Thursdays closing
quotation. 1t rapidly advanced to 511a
and made a jump in half an hour of 3s
points to $54, closing at the noon hour at
$55. 1t was rumore Thursday that the
recent advance in Parrot was due to the
purchases of Broker Lawson, who is
covering his "shorts,'' and being unable
to bear Parrot was compelled to pur-
chase at market rates. 1t is quietly given
out here that the Standard Oil company

standing the slump in Boston and Mon

and closing at Sc.
Utah Con. developed some strength to-
day, opening at 421a and closing at 4412.
A further advance in all the copper
shares is looked for during the coming
week, due to the present price of copper
and tho ia y-orohla Indications for a still
further advance. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that within a month cOpDe can
not be purchased below 20 cents per
pound. The quotations today for the
metal are 1879 cents offered and 10 cents
asked, with very little for sale at the for
mer figure.
There is every indication that copper
will not My hold it's present price but
materially advance. The supply is in
| adequate to the demand. The demand is
| rapidly increasing while the supply is
| limited. Many mighty industries must
! have copper-electrlcty, in its manifold
used for transportation, lighting, tele-
creates Of all. No substitute for cop
per in these industries exists; nor Is
there any Indication Of a substitute for
electricity. Electricity is the coming
! power Of the world, and copper is abso-
| luetly indispensable to electricity.
In peace or war, in construction or de-
! struction, the outlook as to copper is only
a continued demand for more, and with
| this for one fact, n lack of suftlclent
! supply for another, there can be only one
result-higher prices, not lower. Uhoef
these conditions, the owners OF GOOD cop
per mines in the productive or develop
mental stage are masters OF the sltua-
| ton, and their profits are as sure as tneli
nrod1ct. And as copper goes so goes the
copper mining shares.

NEW STORE.

The new store of Pat Mullins & Co.,
10 West Park street, will be opened
tomorrow. A full line of staple and
fancy groceries will be carried, also a
complete stock of fresh and salt meats.
The building occupied by the new estab-
llshment has been completely remodeled
and fitted with fixtures and shelving of
the most modern design. A fine new re-
frigerator, in antique oak and plate glass,
was installed today. and it is probably
the handsomest refrigerator in the city.
1t occupies the entire rear of the store
building and is very handsome. Business
will be done on a strictly cash basis, but
the new company proposes to give its
customers the full value of their money.

The former dividends were 8 cents per

the old stockholders has received three

on account of the severe winter. which
cut short the water supply, froze the
pipes and delayed machinery which was
en- route to the camp when the freeze
came. These disadvantages caused al
most a suspension of work for several

more than pay expenses, and dividends

stock, and who will probably own much
more in the near future. The declaration
of a dividend so soon after the re-organi-

faith of the Canadian investors not only

we'll.

DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.
JAMES MAGUIRE, INJURED IN THE
COLUSA-PARROT, EXPIRED
YESTERDAY.

Mcguire, a miner, who was in
iured in a Colusa-Parrot accident about
three weeks ago, dice from his injuries
at the Sisters hospital late yesterday
afternoon. The deceased was a young
man who had resided in Butte only about
six months, and had very few acquaint-
ances in the city. The only relative re-
siding here is James Mcguire, a cousin.
The accident in which Mcguire re-
ceived his injuries occurred on March l..
He was at work on the sill floor of the
400 level when the ground fell n Ma
guire was buried by the debris. When
he was eXtricated it was found that he
had sustained a compound fracture of
the left leg and some spinal injuries.
which at the time We're not considered as
serious. At first it was thought that his
leg would have to be amputated. but his
Improvement was so marked that the
attending physicians concluded that the
leg could be saved. About a week ago
his lungs became affected, an abscess de-
VelOped. chlllS followed and he grew rap
idly worse until yesterday afternoon,
when he died.
