1t would not be wise to feed only
roots to poultry. Yet if the farmer
will use only one-fourth of the grain
he gives daily and substitute cooked
roots he will reduce the expenses
materially and get more eggs. The
cheapest food is that which will
make hens lay, and the way to
make hens lay is to keep them in
good health. 1t is impossible to
have flock in good laying condit-
ion when only grain is given. Such
foods as carrots, turnips, and pota-
toes are not rich in egg producing
elements, but they perform a service
which renders all the food more
valuable than hay Let the farmer
give his cows nothing but corn, and
the supply of milk would soon be
reduced. From dietary stand
point, the use of cooked roots is rec
commended, and they will enable
the farmer to feed more hens and
get more eggs with little or no adj
ditional cost.-F'drm and Fireside

THE REBELS QUICKLY ROUTED
GUNBOAT NAPIDAN IN ACTION.
Rebels Received Shot and Shell From
Every Gun-.Filipino Barracks Were
Bombarded-Their Loss Was Heavy
Rebel supply Train Destroyed.

Manila, June lS.-A battalion of the
Fourteenth infantry is making a recon-
noissance from linus toard Salitran,
where the rebels are reported to be massed
in force.
The gunboat Napidan has arrived here
and made brief stay. Her commander,
Franklin, reported the details of an en-
gagement with the rebels ON the lake while
General Wheaton as fighting near Taguig.
Franklin saw a party of 500 insurgents
advancing under cover of the bluffs to at
tack Wheaton's left flank. The Napidan
steamed unseen by the rebels to within
500 yards of shore, when she opened fire
upon the enemy with every gun on board
the two and three-inch, the Hotchkiss,
the revolving Colt, Iapid-fire Calling, and
rifles in the hands of the crew. 1t was
tremendous surprise to the insurgents.
The first discharge scattered the rebels
and threw them into utter confusion The
! Filipino commander, who was mounted,
beabored his men with the fiat of his
sword, striving to rally them, but they
would not stand to be cut down by the
murderous fire of the gunboat. Finally
the rebels fled over the hill, the Napidan
Smelling them until the last man disap-
peared.
General Wheaton first saw the insur-
gents as they were scrambling over the
hill in their flight He was ignorant of the
reason of their Generalization, his own
fire drowning that of the Napidan.
The gunboat then steamed down the
lake. A short distance down she saw a
Filipino supply train and opened fire upon
it, destroying every cart and killing every
cariboo Continuing down she saw the
new barracks containing 500 insurgents,
which were shelled and burned. After the
barracks were destroyed, Captain Frank
lin, with detail of men, went ashore and
found nearly go dead Filipinos and several
wounded rebels, who had been left where
they fell. Franklin picked up an officers
sword, but it was impossible to distinguish
officers from privates among the dead. lie

On May II, as has already been cabled
a remarkable thing happened. From a
m. to a. m. the little island was fairly
bombarded with shocks, some lasting
about two minutes, with an occasional ex
ceptionally heavy one. Altogether during
the five hours there were 40 shocks.
During the night there were Others and

Ground sluicing on the Willard. on

body of clean ore, similar in character
to that found on the Lone Star.
Contrary to the report sent out from
Silverton that the Vancouver mine

wages, all the miners employed there
came down the hill on Sundey.

ing the sale of the Lake Shore mine on

They are running a crosscut tunnel to

more to run in order to catch it. The

The owners of the Big Buffalo have
their property cleared of water. The

OUR COMMERCE IN JAMAICA

Reciprocy Between the Island and
United states Observation-Disclosures Are
Improving-severe Eesrthquake.

Kingston. Jamaica, June l6.-The end
of the terrible fruit war and the collapse
of the English scheme for monopolinng
the Jamaican fruit trade leaves the Bos-
ton Fruit Company masters of the situa-
ton.
This development has caused widespread
qualification. 1t is generally regarded as
the first fruits of that reciprocity between
Jamaica and the United States which Is
so much desired. 1t is felt that the pres
ence of the fruit company will draw into
the island other American enterprises as
soon as treaty relations render assured a
permanent market for Jamaican products
in the United States.
Already there is a marked improvement
in the industrial condition OF the island
Only the conclusion of the reciprocity
treaty is now awaited. Should the nego
tiations by any possibility fail, the blow
to the hopes of Jamaica would be severe
one.
Much care has been exercised in the Sc
lection of the delegates who are to proceed
to Washington to confer with the British
diplomatic authorities there with view
to arranging the terms OF a reciprocity
treaty. If they are not successful in clear
ing the way for treaty, it will certainl,
not be their fault. They represent no

MINING NOTES.

The steamer Queen was in port at
Everett, Wash, recently, and discharg-
ed 800 tons of Mexican ore, besides a
large quantity of freight. Steamer
Selkirk is unloading ESQ tons of iron
ore from Texado island. This ore is
used as flux in the furnaces at the Ev-
erett smelter.
The growth in copper production of
Arizona during recent years is very
gratifying as shown by the following
figures: 1887, S,035 tons; 1898, 1860
tons: 1897, Sc 900 tons; 1898, 4S,359
tons. The ore is of much higher grade
than the average in other copper pro-
ducing sections. This product has been
obtained largely from the Clifton, Bis
bee and Globe districts.
Large deposits of carbonate of zinc
in Arizona, which have meyer been
touched except by mineralogists, are
now attracting special attention.
The famous asbestos mine at Sail
mountain, Ca, has been sold for $780,
900 to Bancroft & Kennick, mining en-
gineers of London. The sale on ba-
sis of 100000 is the greatest amount
ever paid for a mine in the state of
Georgia, not excepting that of some of
the gold mines in the northern part of
the state.
The miners of the Parrot have been
officially notified that they were laid
off in order that the long delayed work
of retimbering the shaft could be put
under way. This will take about two
months and all that time the entire
mine will be closed down. When work
is recommended the shaft will be de-
veloped about 900 feet additional. The
smelters have ore enough on hand to
run for several weeks, then they, too
will have to close down until the mine
resumes operations.
A break in the compressor machin
cry at the Palmer mountain tunnel will
stop the drills for short time until
the broken piece can be replaced, il
having to be ordered from the factory
is the length attained, and the last
ledge is cut at a depth of 900 feet
showing a true fissure vein we'll miner
alzed and carrying high grade ore
This should settle the question of depth
on Palmer mountain and whether the
mineral goes down.
At the Wehe group the force has
been increased and good ore is showing
at S5 feet depth in the shaft being
sunk.
The Hillsdale will soon be down Isl
feet and will probably put in a whin
and continue another 100 feet, some
good copper having been encountered
in the last 20 feet.
A good many prospectors have com,
in and have gone into the hills of the
Okanogan district during the past two
weeks.
