S Guild,
I. Luke's P. E.
iciously Thurs

Joy .,-uIus vi last week. A repre-
sentative audience was present and
gave evidence that the exercises were
heartily enjoyed. The feature of the
occasion was debate en- the subject,
Resolved, that the British are justified
In their warfare against the Beers.
The affirmative was ably supported by
Mt ssrs. r. W. Thompson and A. o.
Stafford, while Messrs. L. M. Her
shaw and Henry Y. Arnett made an
effective plea in the negative, The con.
test was spirited in the highest degree,
and the 'tgladiators" grasped every
available point with vigor and intelli-
gence. Sympathy was about equally
divided between the British and the
Beers. At the conclusion of the de-
bate, Rev. o. NJ. Waller made some
weIl-receIved remarks setting forth
the liberalityof the British in dealing
with the darker races of the world,
showing that merit and condition
counted 1or everything IN FORMING
their estimate Of men, while the Beers
and many other peoples placed consid-
erations Of race before all other attri-
butes. He spoke Of The distinguished
recognition given educated Negroes
in the English military establishment
and in high civil positions in the col
onial departments, and concluded that
the civilization of Great Britain was of
the highest character.
Mr.. Frank l.. Cardozo presided with
dignity, and managed the program in
most satisfactory manner. The Guild
promises to be leading lyceum under
his guidance. The next public meet
ing Will bs held on the first Thursday
in Janusry.

Get the Best.

While the standard embraces about
seventy-five varieties of pure-bred
poultry, the best breeds for both fan
cy and market purposes may almost
be numbered on the fingers of one
hand. They are Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Leghorns, Light Brah-
mas, Black Leghorns, and Minorcas.
Among the Plymouth Rocks there are
the White, Barred and Buff varieties;
in Wyandottes, we have the Whites,
Goldens, Silvers and Blacks; of Leg
horns, there are Browns, Whites,
Bluffs and Blacks; and among Mino-
cras, the Black and White varieties.
We have named them in the order
as they are held the most practical
popular and profitable. The farmer
can not mistake in choosing any one
among these breeds and varieties as
named 1t will be found best and
most profitable to have only one vari-
ETY. on the farm. Choose the one you
like the best, and stick to it. Select
the best marked and most vigorous
specimens to breed from. Introduce
new blood once a year, unless you
have several yards of the same varie-
ty when cross-breeding may be prac-
ticed among these for two or more
years. If you wish to raise choice
specimens to sell at fancy prices, buy
the best that can be had, these usual
ly sell at $500 to $1,000 each. Good
uure-bred specimens sell at 500 to
$1,000 trio. Many breeders who can
not afford to begin with the highest
priced stock, get the best that they
can afford, raise from these, then Sc
lect from among the pullets as raised

A Few Simple Rules.

Here are a few simple rules that
will be of great benefit to those who
expect eggs during the winter
months:
First-DO not forget that each hen
is an individual, just as with the hui
man race, and that no two hens pre-
fer the same food nor eat the same
quantity; in fact, all hens will eat
more some days than they will others.
There are no fixed rules for feeding,
and the amount for each hen must be
determined by close observation.
Second-Keep the hens at work dur
ing the entire day. This is absolutely
essential for success: When the hens
run after you it is a sure sign they
are fed too much, and are too lazy to
work at scratching.
Third-Never feed three times a
day; morning and night will suffice,
and the former feed should be rather
light than too much. At night, just
before roosting time, full meal
should be given-enough to satisfy all
wants.
Fourth-After the morning meal
scatter handful of millet seed, wheat
or oats in the litter and let them
scratch for it. Should they refuse to
do this. let them fast q few dayS. and
they will soon learn to hustle
Fifth-An ounce of cut bone should
be given each hen every other day, at
morning feed, and nothing more till
night. Cut clover in the mash should
be given on other days, the variation
to be determined by observation.
Large breeds require more than the
smaller breeds, but it takes time to
determine just the amount that any
flock may need.-Ex.

the most choice specimens and mate
them to new-bought males of better
blood for the next years breeding
and in this way gradually breed up
their stock to the very highest stan
dard
Some farmers can not understand
why there should be such difference
in the price of the birds of the same
breed; they forget that the price va
other stock. 1t is the same with the
merchant He will offer cloth at
twenty-five cents, forty and fifty
cents yard, and while all are known
as jeans cloth, they are the different
qualities and worth the difference in
price. So with poultry.
The fancier will raise say two hun
bred head of a certain breed; when
about near grown he will divide these
up into four grades according to their
standard quality.
The first grade are usually known as
culls being off in proper color of legs,
plumage, etc.-or having some de-
formity; these he kills or sends to
market The second grade are sold
to families and farmers who wish to
raise pure-bred stock for market or
their own use, but do not care to pay
fancy prices; these usually sell at
1886 to $500 trio, owing to age

Best Breeds of Poultry.

The difficulties of poultry raising
may be overcome in a measure by the
iudicious selection of a breed of fowls
best suited to your surroundings. If
you have a limited area and your
flock must be confined most Of the
time you should choose those breeds
which may be kept in confinement
with best results. The suburha'
residents produce a large proportion
Of the poultry and eggs consumed in
this country The farmer, as rule
keeps one flock on farm with less
satisfaction than he who takes care Of
one in confinement The best egg re-
cords are from those f1ocks which
lave been kept lit yards instead Of
having an altogether free range More
labor is required, Of course, to manage
aocl1s in confinement; yet, this made
up for in the increasing egg yield and
saving in the cost of the range.
Leghorns, Hamburgs, Minorcas, Pc,
lish and HOudans are true rangers,
and an extra degree Of care is needed
to provide them with litter for scratch
ing to satisfy their restless natures
where their range is small one. The
Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes be-
long to the middle class, as it were,
and will give great satisfaction, either

Poultry Pointers.

Of vastly more importance than any
thing else is it to avoid disease among
poultry during the winter Roup is a
formidable disease in cold Wether
and is due wholly to neglect and cold.
Wet feet not only makes the hen sus-
ceptible to roup, but almost invariably
causes falling off in the egg produc-
ton, if it does not stop it entirely. If
it is not possible to allow the Mons to
be out of doors without exposing them
to the cold, the house should be ar
ranged so that it can be kept warm,
yet may be we'll ventilated and the
flock should be divided in some way
so as to permit more freedom in the
house.
Here is an egg food which is also a
good condition powder and unlike
many of the latter in the market, is
harmless. Two pounds of linseed
ground, four pounds meat meal, one
pound graduated charcoal, two
ounces salt, one ounce baking soda
one-quarter ounce Cayenne pepper, all
mixed thoroughly. In feeding use
from half pint to a pint, beginning
with the smaller quantity, in six
quarts of dry ground foods OF any
kind and make into a mash with skim
milk. Feed while warm.
In selecting eggs for Matching from
your own flock take neither the first
that are laid after the male is put
among the hens, nor those that are
laid at the end of a long season Of
steady work After the male has been
with the hens FOR six weeks if the hens
are in the flush of egg production eggs
selected at that time are likely to be
fertile and to produce strong and
healthy chicks.
Turkeys require considerable care
during the winter. While they are
reasonably hardy and need consider
able ventilation in the house they rooSt
in, they catch cold easily if exposed to
draughts. See that the house is COM
Portable, we'll ventilated and the birds
kept from lice and vermin. Allow
them freedom on warm days.-Farm

a PARIS SENSATION.

New Conspiracy 20 Overthrow the
French Government Uncovered.
Paris: A semi official note issued Mon
day morning says:
"a certain number of arrests were made
yesterday as the result of magisterial
inquiry and by virtue of article SO of the
penal code regarding conspiracy organized
for the purpose of accomplishing change
in the form of government. The persons
implicated belong to groups of royalist
youths and the Patriotic and Anti Semitic
leagues.
"At the trial of the Nueilly barracks
affair the facts relating to that incident
alone were used as the basis of prosecution,
but searches were then made and docu-
ments seized which led to the discovery of
an organization dating back to July, 1898,
and of plot to seize the Government by
force. The documents leave no room for
doubt. either in regard to the existence of
plot or as to the chief actors therein.
After avery close watch indisputable proof
was obtained that the same groups were
preparing for fresh attempt at an early
date, the proof being such as to enable dis
turbances to be averted by immediate
measures. The investigation of the affair
was intrusted to Fabre, the examining
magistrate

Dreyrus, Counsel Shot.


Rennes, Aug. IA: Two men ambushed
Maitre Labori, counsel for Dreyfus, and
one shot was fred, hitting Labori in the
back. NJ. Labor fell in the roadway. He
is still alive.
Maitre Labori left his home alone for the
court about s O'Clock this morning. His
residence is situated in the suburbs of the
town, about quarter of an hours walk
from the Lycee, the route being along q
solitary road beside the River Vilaine. He
had reached a point half way on his jour
ney when two men, who had evidently
been lying in wait for him, rushed out of a
narrow lane and one of them fired single
shot from a revolver. The murderers were
only couple of yards behind their victim
and the bullet struck Maitre Labori in the
back. The wounded man uttered an
agonized cry and fell fiat on his face. The
murderers Immediately fled through the
lane from which they had emerged and
both escaped.
At 7:SO it was announced that the bullet
had entered the stomach; that there was
no outward bleeding, and that the ply
sicians believe that NJ. Labori will die from
the wound.
A later story has it that NJ. Labori was
shot in the temple by man who fired Il
revolver at him outside the court, and that
the mScreant was arrested.

THE STATE FAIR.
Farmers Institute and a Breeders.
Convention to Be Held,

SOASCltioLi " oC I1Clos
General arrangements have already been
made that will guarantee to South Dakota
this year the greatest fair ever held within
her limits. Only minor details are left to
be attended to and those are all under the
supervision of men who will see that moth
ing is left undone to make the whole en-
terprise successful in the fullest measure.
A new feature is being introduced at this
fair so that besides amusing and giving
chance to review the progress of the farm
ers of the State the fair of 1899 will also be
a school of instruction to farmers in agri-
culture.
A farmers institute will be conducted
by professors from Brookings and other
agricultural stations of the Northwest dur
ing each forenoon, and stock breeders
convention will be called for discussion of
the interests of the men controlling the
affairs Of the fastest growing industry in
the State. EX-Gov. Hoard of Wisconsin
and other prominent men will address these
meetings.
The management of the fair proposes
one important reform this year that has
been urged by Superintendent Armstrong
of DeSmet. They expect to prohibit all
forms of gambling and the selling Of in.
toXicating drinks on the grounds.

APPEALS FOR HELP.
Root Takes Prompt Measures for
Relief of Hurricane Sufferers.

Relief of Hurricane Sufferers,
Washington: The War Department has
taken prompt measures for the relief of
the hurricane sufferers in Porto Rico
When the press dispatches and Gen. Davis
advice made known the extent of the dis
aster steps were Immediately taken to send
supplies and the transport Mcpherson has
been ordered put in readiness and will
carry ratiOns and other necessaries to the
stricken islanders. Secretary of War Root
sent the following appeal to the mayors of
all cities of more than 10000 population:
"Sir: The Governor General of Porto
Rico confirms the report that on the 9Th
inst hurricane swept over that island,
entirely demoishing many of the towns,
destroying many lives, and reducing, so
far as he can estimate, not less than 100 900
of the inhabitants to the condition of abso-
lutte destitution, without homes OF food.
Unless immediate and effective relief is
given these unfortunates will perish of
famine. Under these conditions the Presi-
dent deems that an appeal should be made
to the humanity of the American people.
"This department has directed the imme-
diate distribution of rations to the suffer-
ers by the army in Porto Rico, so far as it is
within the power of the executive, but in
the absence of any appropriation we must
rely largely upon private contributions.
II beg that you will call upon the public
spirited and humane people of your city
to take active and immediate measures in
this exigency. The government transport
Mcpherson will be sent directly from the
port Of New York to Porto Rico to carry
all supplies of food which can be obtained.
Further transports will be sent at future
dates, of which public notice will be given.
