THE INDEPENDENTS MEASUREMENT.

$50 far this year. says the Helena In
dependent, "there have been two demo-
cratic state conventions held, and both
of them have reafirmed the Chicago
PLATFORM" That is not true. The demo-
cratic convention of Pennsylvania de-
feated a resolution to endorse the Chicago
platform. The nearest approach to an
endorsement was the following:
The democracy of Pennsylvania in con-
vention assembled, again renewing our
pledges Of fidelity and devotion to the
faith and principles of our party AS
DECLARED IN THE PLATFORMS OF
OUR SEVERAL NATIONAL CoNvEN-
TONS, ETC,
This endorsement of the pledges OF
fidelity and devotion to the sacred rights
of the people," as declared by the "sev.
eral national conventions Of the demo.
cratic party, was adopted after. a spe-
cific attempt to have the free silver plank
III the Chicago platform endorsed had
been overwhelmingly howled down and
defeated. It's blanket endorsement of the
work of its several national conven-
tons applied only to their pledges Of
fidelity and devotion to the sacred rights
of the people," among which the Penn
sylvania democrats did not include the
free coinage of silver.

FAMILY DRIVEN MAD,

An extraordinary case of madness, in
which all members of a family, consisting
OF father. mother and four children, were
simultaneously afflicted, has occurred at
StaVe'ot. A party of stlolling gypsies,
who undertook to tell the ather's fortune
by means of cards, declared that h would
be killed while serving in the army, and
his PREDICTION so impressed him and his
FAMILY that in the course of the same
day they all developed signs Of wavering
reason, and before long had to be put
under restraint. The gypsies who were
the source of the trouble, were arrested
by the German police whcn crossing the
frontier from Belgium,

world are those of Shakespeare. Only
seven are claimed to exist, three sig.
natures to his will leach with differ
ent spelling), two to conveyances OF
property, one in the folio edition of his
plays (doubtfuD and one in a Tudor
translation of Montague. This last

5000 guineas. One thousand guineas

Marie Stuart to the archbishop OF

to the pope and. the other. to the king
of France) were written by the unfor.
tunate Queen of Scots on the morning
OF her execution. The letter to the
French king was destroyed during the
days of the terror, while that to the
pope is still preserved at the Vatican.

Quaritch, gave s 1000 for an autograph

PREVENTING MITES.
Various Ways by which Poultry
- Rraisers Aim TO Accomplish
This Dimcult Task.

Keep your chickens healthy and
your success is assured. Keep them
free from mites and there is little dan.
ger that they will not remain healthy.
There are many remedies, all more or
less successful, but the best remedy is
prevention. The first great problem
is to keep the roosting places and the
nests free from the pest. To do this Il
often problem. One farmer Of my
acquaintance had perches that could
be easily removed. Every little while
he would remove them and pass them
slowly through brisk fire. Another
treats the perches, nests. and inside Of
the coop with q mixture Of coal oil
and water, applied with force pump.
Still another swabs of the perches
with tar water. Another keeps DUST
box for his fowls to wallow in. This
box contains mixture of road dust,
wood ashes and sulphur. Any or all
Of these are good. The idea is to keep
the mites away. One lady in neigh
boring county raised chickens by the
thousands every year. She was asked
how she kept her chickens free from
mites. This was her method: She
kept her perches wound with old rays.
and every few days saturated them
with kerosene and water. Mites never
troubled her chickens, nor did any Of
the poultry diseases that follow in the
wake of these pests. She did nothing
else to keep her flocks free from them.

I'd keep q poultry house dry and
warm line the side with tarred paper,
place loose boards or fence rails over
head and fill the loft with cha6 (clovef;
chaf il best). It absorbs all the!
dampness arising from the expired air
Of the fowls. keeps the house warm
and comfortable, and the chaf u
rendy to pack eggs in for shipping IN
the spring. The great secret of sue
cessful poultry raising is to keep tho:
houses and runs dry and clean. Breed
from vigorous, healthy ancestors with
a frequent introduction Of new blood,
and l. keep up a continual warfare;
against the lice. Sprinkle the houses
every two weeks with strong solu-
ton Of carbolic acid. This not only.
destroys the vermin, but is one OF the
best disinfectants that can be used.
1t destroys the germs or bacteria that
produce cholera, gapes and other in
fictitious diseases among fowls. Buy
a bee smoker and few pounds OF
long green tobacco, and when q hen
matches her brood, put the little chicks
in a basket, cover them over and give
them a thorough smoking with tobac-
co. Tread the old hen to dose in
like manner. The tobacco will make
the little fellows giddy. but will not
injure them. This procedure will kill.
every louise and does it Immediately.
Il they are very lousy you will find the,
bottom of the basket lined with them;
after smoking them. Three drops Of
carbolic acid in one ounce OF sweet
oil is q good remedy to kill lice. Put
a little on the top Of the heads OF
chicks and under the wings. Avoid
doctoring your fowls unless they are
sick.-American Gardening.

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERs.

The queen bee is fully developed fe-
male bee.
Pollen is just as essential to brood
rearing as honey.
Bees fructify the flowers and cause
fruit to mature. r
Store honey in a warm. dry place to
hinder granulation.
An apiary is best on the south Of
east side Of o slope.
Leave only us much comb in the hive
as the bees can cover.
Theworkers are dwarfed female bees.
They never become impregnated.
Make the hive snug enough to retain
all the heat generated by the bees.
The worker brood in the comb has a
very even and regular appearance.
By instinct the bees build the drone
cells at the lower end of the comb.
All queenless colonies should be
united with those having good queens.
One objection to top entrances is
the liability of filth gathering in the
hives.
It is very important to raise only the
best stock of queens that the apiary
will afford.
All colonies that lack food must be
fed, and all feeding in cold weather
must be done with candy.
Comb honey will have blue or
muddy appearance in cold weather, but
no harm will come from this.
Bees should never be allowed to be-
come entirely destitute of honey. Sealed
honey should always be in the hive.
Combs should be handled with care
during cold weather, as they are then
very easily broken.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

HANDY FATTEN1NG cooP.

OF wire netting. The pen is kept dark
except when the fowls are eating. This
is accomplished by hanging a thick
covering like a quilt or bundles of
stalks. The pen is SO dark they move
about but little between meals. At
feeding time the curtain is lifted and
they are fed all they will eat, but no
more. A pan of sweet skinned milk is
kept before them and the pen floor is
clean and supplied with fresh bedding.
Discourage scratching and growing all
that is possible. A growing bird fat
tens slowly, if at all. Light encourages
growing. The corn is fed in pans or
scattered, and the curtain is dropped
as soon as it is eaten. Cut green bone
and meat whet the appetite and should
be given every third day.-American
