CHINESE HISTORICAL METHODS

Ing dynasty comes TO an end, says
the st. Louis Republic In this way
these celestial historians have an OPP
portunity to describe most truthfully
the virtues and vices of the various
rulers and the real significance OF the
events which take place during their
regime. They can write what they
please without fear OF censure. for they
know tina: their work will not be pub
Lshed as long as the reigning dynasty
lasts. This has been the rule for
more than 1000 years. The duty OF
these historians is to write a plain ac-
count of all events that occur during
their tenure Of Office. At regular in
tervals their completed work is taken
from them and locked up in an iron
safe or vault. There it remains until
the first member Of new dynasty as
cends the throne. Il is then given.
with all the other. histories in the
vault, TO the court historian who Is
then living, and from the mass OF
documents he is expected to prepare
q truthful history of the dynasty which
has Just expired. The present dynasty
has been reigning since 1914, and.
consequently, no court history has
been published since that time.

There Is one simple remedy that
seldom fails when number of hens
become drooDy. refuse to lay, and
shown signs Of bowel disease. In
ninety-nine cases among one hundred
the difficulties encountered are due to
indigestion. which arises from over
feeding. BY Withholding all food for
three or four days a cure will nearly
always result without the aid Of medi-
eines, says Poultry Keeper. When
lens are rat 1t is difficult to iniure
them by three or four days fasting
as they are then well provided with
the stored fat on their bodies. Before
they can starye they must first become
poor in flesh. The fasting, however
enables the hens to become clear of
the cause OF the ailment, rests the d.
gestlye organs, and enables them to
better digest any food that may then
be allowed. When three OF four DAYS
expire in fasting them, then live only
one meal per day for a week. allowing
lean meat. one pound to twenty hens
and the change OF diet will also prove
Of advantage. Hundreds Of remedies
have been suggested for ailments OF
poultry, which require time and labor;
but the best and most harmless remedy
i8 TO follow the method suggested
above, and the result will seldom be
disappointing.

Poultry Notes.

The lazy hens are the ones to kill
off. Generally they are the fat ones
that have stopped laying and have got
into habits that will make them poor
layers in the future. They will be the
last ones to leave the roosts In the
morning and the first ones to 90 to
roost at night. Often through the day
they will be seen perched up on the
roost resting. Such birds are Of no
value except for the pot. and the
sooner they are sent there the better.
Late fall chickens should be pushed
forward by every means in the reach
of the poultry grower. Both meat and
ground bone should be fed in consid-
cradle quantities. so that the birds
will have got a good growth and good
supply of feathers before the end Of
November. Probably the best single
food to help attain this result is ground
beef meal. IL is rather expensive, but
goes good ways. IL reserved for the
use of the late chicks ten pounds
would last them till well along into
the winter.
Farmers that feed large quantities
Of wheat screenings to poultry should
be careful that the screenings do not
contain too large proportion of seeds
OF the corn cookie. These seeds are
poisonous, but are so only when eaten
in some quantities. They will kill any
kind of farm stock, but are seldom
eaten by any farm stock la quantities
to Kill except by poultry. There is
little doubt that many farmer has
lost fowls by mysterious diseases. as
he supposed, that have really been
killed by the innocent looking corn
cookie seeds fed in his screenings.
Every kind Of business tends to seek
level Of profits. 1t is therefore un-
reasonable to invest $685. in the poul-
try business and expect it to return
an annual income OF $500 or $500. A
man should expect a profit only of 6
or per cent after deducting from the
total receipts enough to cover all ex-
penses, with an additional amount APP
piled for deterioration OF buildings
and for repairs. The man that credits
himself up for all work done and then
has a net profit of per cent on his
investment is doing as we'll as he can
reasonably expect to do. Some people
get discouraged in raising poultry be-
cause they are not able to realize the
fancy profits they had figured out be-
fore starting in the business.
Too much hard work for the hen is
not desirable. 1t is possible for the
hen, even in the fall months, to make
living on the farm without being fed,
but she will have to be continually on
the scratch to do It, She will roam
over vast area OF land and gather I'm
all the stray bugs and weed seeds and
lost grain. But In doing this she will
expend more muscle and heat than ID
desirable. The hen can have too much
exercise as well as can the dairy COW.
II must be remembered that In devel-
oping the hen we are not trying to

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 90, 1899.
:. TWELVE PAGES.
For Next Monday.

z asst night the Standard posted
a bulletin from its special cor
respondent in the Montana reg
fment announcing that the first sec
ition's special train had reached Duns-
muir and was detained there awaiting
repairs to the roadbed which had been
damaged by a washout at a point six
miles beyond that station. Dunsmuir
rs not tedious place for the traveller
who must submit to a delay Those
who have made the trip from San
Francisco to Portland by way of the
famous Shasta route will easily recall
the impressive beauty and grandeur of
the scenery in that vicinity. The in
nimation in the bulletin from the Stan
dard's correspondent was that the de-
lay would not be long. The bulletin
added that, to that point, the journey
of the returning volunteers had been
without special event.
, Jealous as the workers in Butte have
been in preparing for next Mondays
demonstration, there is no competing
with the weather. 1t has been dis
agreeable during the past week to an
extent that makes the driving park a
rather Notwithstanding place in which
to arrange a Welcome-home.
As is mentioned in this mornings
Butte news, the reception committee
is not yet able to reach conclusions as
to Mondays programme owing to this
unsettled state of the elements But
in any event, Butte will be forearmed:
if the driving park programme is found
to be impracticable, everything will be
in readiness for the alternative and
the city will be prepared to receive the
veterans in becoming style, anyway.
AS for the arch that spans the four
corners at Main and Granite streets
THE fact that it seemed hardly stanch
enough has been occasionally men,
toned. The wind could play havoc
with it and not have to try very hard
AS has been suggested by several OBJ
serving people the risk is not, perhaps,
so much matter of exposure to winds
as to the crowds that will certainly
surge around it's rather slender foun-
dations at the time when the soldiers
march through it. The Standard deems
it timely, in this matter, to suggest
the contingency and the results that
might be entailed when masses of peo-
pie are gathered at the corner next
Monday. Beyond the possibility of ac-
cldent, the arch should be made secure
against the pressure that will surely be
brought close to its base, not by the
winds burt by human beings.

Goldenrod and Hay Fever.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
These are the days when the golden rod
holds glittering sway in all the fields and
vacant territory in and about the city
and foraging parties may be seen coming
in on all the suburban trains bearing
great punches of the flowers. For a time
the question of making the golden rod our
national flower was given thorough con-
sideration. but since the learned men
have given the assurance that the golden
rod is responsible in large measure for
hay fever its stock has diminished until
we hear no more about elevating it to the
pedestal which should be occupied by the
proud American beauty rose. No one has
explained just why golden rod produces
hay fever, but the physicians assert that
the germs of the disease Turk in the bright
yellow pollen of the plant. There is moth
ing pleasant about the odor of golden rod,
and consequently no occasion for one to
take chances by inhaling the pollen. Since
it is also held by men of science that
hay fever is a sign of inciplent degener-
acy. it behooves every one to have care
about being exposed to the remotest dan
ger of infection.

The Senator From FIathead,

1T is indeed regrettable to find a man
otherwise so highly endowed intel
lectually as the Hon. John H
Gelger of Flathead county afflicted
with loss of memory. That is an i'm
pairment of ones powers that places
one at a serious Disadvantage among
ones fellow men. Not only that, but
the ignorant and minimizing are in
clined to consider loss of memory an
believe that the victim of this dread
malady is a liar and a fraud But
how could anybody who has ever en-
joyed the acquaintance of the Hon.
John H. Geiger entertain the slightest
doubt of his veracity? As Antony said
of Brutus, Geiger is an honorable
man-does not the Hon" before his
name prove it?
Those who were brought into con-
tact with Mr.. Geiger in his capacity
of statesman last winter soon discov-
cred his unfortunate mental condition
and made allowances for it. On some
measures, notably the Powell county
bill, Mr.. Geiger SO far forgot himself
as to pledge his word to both sides.
He couldn't help it. He forgot. DON'T
impute any wrong motives to Mr..
Geiger; for Geiger is an Hon. man.
Perhaps Mr.. Geiger's loss of mem
DRY was most conspicuous when he
voted for W. A. Clark for United
States senator. In his examination on
"Wednesday, he was asked if he did not
state in a speech at the convention
that nominated him that he had been
around legislative halls where money
was stacked up like cordwood for the
