IRREGULARITIES oEtTAE STATES.


Some of the Physical Features for Which
commemorative Are Noted.
From the New York Press.
HAS it ever occurred to you" said the
committeeman from Poweshiek, shat
Iowa is the best watered state in the un-
ion. and has less sterile land than any
other?" No, it has not. Never thought OF
it. In fact, we don't know much about
Iowa over here in the East. She gave us
some clever men in Allison Frank Hat
ton, postmaster general: Horace Boies,
w. w. tBelknap, secretary of war; James
Harlan, secretary of the interior; George
w. McCrary, secretary of war; Senator
Gear and Governor Kirkwood. Jeff Da-
Wis, lieutenant in the u. s.. A., thrash
ed a lot of white folk in Dubuque and the
Mormons settled at Council Bluffs An
other thing-Iowa passed law prohibits
ing liquor dealers from making more than
30 per cent. profit on sales. What else
is she famed for?
The Poweshieker's remark led to study
of the physical peculiarities of several
states. In proportion to size Georgia has
great many more counties than any
other state the present number being 1877,
with promise of a new one to be named
after Lieutenant Brumby. Texas, with
nearly four and half times the area of
the Cracker" state. has PA. Georgia has
no lake and her rivers and creeks are not
above the average.
Massachusetts has 20S ponds, 122 rivers
and more coves and harbors than any
other state. She has more islands than
any other state except Florida. Hard to
believe, isn't it?
The average reader will be amazed to
learn that little New Hampshire, with
less than 10000 square miles, has no less
than 4O6 lakes and ponds. 154 brooks, IS
rivers and 294 mountains. This makes
Iowa look small. Colorado, big state,
has $50 creeks. Texas has comparatively
few rivers, lakes and creeks. Alabama
has 663 creeks and 81 rivers. .Iowa cannot
approach that record. Minnesota has 22a
lakes and 40 rivers.
Pennsylvania, one of the biggest, rich
est states, has altogether only 16 rivers
and not creek. Kentucky, also big
state, has no creeks and only % rivers.
Tennessee has 81 rivers and creeks all
told. Indiana has 8 creeks lakes and
10 rivers. New York, a state of modest
size, is we'll equipped with rivers, lakes,
creeks, islands and mountains. Louisiana
is nearly all rivers and bayous and Flor
ida Is largely made up of creeks, islands,
lakes and rivers.

Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the Italian poet

Europe, is a most remarkable man.
buses infatuation with this singular
genius is one OF those unfortunate add
ventures Of the heart that should never

actress is now in Paris with an aching
and breaking heart. There she was lett
only the other day by the poet, who
brutally told her he was tired of her
and her love. Her friends say they do
not know when she will be able to re-
sumo her work, if ever.
D'AnnunziO's books have made a SEN
sation. They are too immoral even for
France and only expurgated editions
have been brought out in Paris. Heine-
man of London has published THE
Triumph of Death" in English, and its
success has been great. But morbidly

novels, D'Annunzio's personality, or

vcrted as TO eclipse his works, wicked

HORSES FOR CHICKEN FEED.
: NWOrn Out Animals of the So 90
) Variety Stewed Down Into
.sCake."

Over 1000 horses have in the
past few months been sent out of
San Jose and converted into chicken
te6d. Horses have never been so
cheap since the Americans came to
California as during the past
twelve months. There were two
reasons for this--namely: One the
great number raised on the big
ranches, and the other the scarcity
OF feed. There are always old and
wornout horses.
"Petaluma is great chicken
raising center This industry is
carried on there to greater extent
than at any other point in the State.
With the growth of this industry
came demand for cheap feed for
the chickens, particularly for the
meat. Men began to cook horse
hesh and then pack it in condensed
shape-a sort of meat cake. They
bought the old and worthless hor-
ses or any other animal unfit for
human food. This meat business
grew, and the meat cake was ship
ped to various points and sold by
dealers in chicken supplies. 1t is
for sale in San Jose.
There seems to be some uncer-
tainty about just what the Peta-
luna packers paid for the animals.
AT all events, there is some diff
Guilty in ascertaining the prices.
1t seems, however, that the scale
varies. Agents pay all the way
from Is cents to $3.50, the latter
price only for large, heavy horses.
OF course they always buy them as
cheaply as possible, but it appears
they never let a reasonably large
Morse go away until they had bid
to So.
One dealer on North Market street
in this city says he has sent $50
horses to Petamula during the last
few months, and he knows that
over 1000 have been sent during
the same months to the same place.

best care OF them. If you hatch out
a batch of fine, healthy chicks there
is no reason why you should not
raise at least 90 per cent of them,
if you give them proper care.
The first thing one should learn
is too keep them warm and see that
they never get chilled. Here is
where trouble nearly all arise.
The chick cannot stand the least
bit of cold and should be kept warm
and comfortable. Do not allow
them to get their feet wet nor to be
in draught If in brooder, be
sure it can be relied upon to fur
nish plenty of heat the entire night.
If you will but notice, most chicks
die at night, and just because they
have been chilled in some way dur
ing the night. If they are chilled
it deranges their whole system, and
indigestion results.
AS to their food, l would say feed
anything and everything they will
eat readily, if it is wholesome. See
that they receive the proper amount
of grit, meat, bone and water.
They like cut green bones, which
may he obtained at a butcher shop
for almost nothing. Cut clover
steamed and mixed with bran or
corn meal is very necessary, and
you will enjoy seeing them eat it so
greedily.
Ones object should be to keep
the little fellows comfortable and
contented from the time they enter
the world until they are ready tog
to market or table. Above all
things, don't give them sloppy food.
Mix the ground feed up as dry as
possible and let the chickens drink
water when they want it. Don t
compel them to take more than they
want of water in order to get some
thing TO eat, - Agricultural
Epitomist.

Soft Shells.

The lime used by the hen tomake
egg shells comes from the food she
eats, says the Stockman. Clover
has great deal of lime, so has
bran, and so many other foods.
The real value of oyster shells is
their use as grit in grinding up the
foods into a more digestible form.
If you are bothered with soft shell
eggs feed the hens cut clover,
steamed and mixed with brand, or
cut green bones. This food or mix
ture is rich in soluble minerals that
go to make the egg shell. For grit,
broken chinaware and lsharp sand
will be found much cheaper than
oyster shells.
Another cause of soft shelled eggs
is over feeding, which makes a hen
too fat. A fat hen very often lays
eggs that have no shell at all.
Stop feeding her so much and make
her exercise more and this trouble
will be removed.
