POLITICAL POINTERS.

Fattening fowls should have cornmeaI,
buekwheat and like foods.
Now is the time TO plan to store up a
good variety of food for winter.
Feed early. The morning feed is the
most important, as it is usually reiished
the most.
When the ducks and geese have been
plucked OF their feathers regularly, they
will not molt.
To fatten fowls rapidly feed every four
hours, beginning early and ending late.
Give as much at time as can be eaten
Immediately.
By making the poultry house with an
air space of four inches in the walls, with
tarred paper inside the walls, the house
viii be much warmer in winter.
Do not mix bone dust in with the feed.
It is too stimulating and may cause EN-
largement Of the liver in hens that are
not Laying. Place it where they can help
themselves.
Oyster shells are not fed to poultry for
forming eggshcll material, but simply as
grit atpr grinding what they eat Green
boIes Founded or cnt fine make Il good
essheiA material. st. Louis RepubIic.

A THANKSGIVING FABLE.
Turkey nnd Eagle Discuss the Ma
tionnI Bird Question.

Turkey nnd Eagle Discuss the Ma
tionaI Bird Question.
A merry young turkey was asked one
day by baldheaded eagle why he
cared to let himself be fooled by being
fatted up for a Thanksgiving dinner to
make dish for all the greedy mouths
that could afford to get slice of him.
~ said the eagle, "am the king of
birds. l am the terror of the Alegha-
MES and the Rockies, and l defy the
greedy appetite of your masters. | am
all wool and yard wide I'm the
great American eagle! Whoop lar
"Ah," said the turkey benignly as he
cast plying look upon his proud and
scornful critic, you are not civilized
yet, and so you don't know what you
are talking about You are as Wild
and untutored as the savage Indian
and. like him, must delve and fight aud
struggle for your miserable existence,
while I have more food thrown down
at my feet than l can swallow.
ssThen, again, poor devil, you have to
sleep in some cold and dismal Granny
in the rocks, while / have always
warm and comfortable lodging proyid-
ed for me. / have nothing to do but
strut around and enjoy life, and the
more food / eat the better my master
likes it. Out of all your life of free
dom you do not have as many hours of
case and solid comfort as ! do in my
brief career.
leave 1t to a turkey to know what's
what. don't want to be any emblem
of freedom NY respects to you, but
I've got snap, and know 1t. A short
life and merry one is my motto, and
want no more sincere respect than Is
shown to me when am we'll cooked
and dIshed up for Thanksgiving din
ner. What could be more glorious, IN
deed, than to die as the apotheosis OF
a great nations gratitude?
Go to your eyrie, old eagie, for am
| the greater bird of the two"
Yes, when you are fatted up to eat, :
| replied the eagle sarcasticalIy, by way
Of a farewell thrust, as he swung into
| his customary gait and rolled away
| oyer the barn to escape the bullet from
the farmer rifle. Washington Post.

Bees need air all of the time.
Keep the brood as near the center of

Contract the space in the hive to suit

A colony of bees in proper condition is

Importance of leaving no colony in a

One disadvantage with queens is that
the beekeeper must keep and provide fol-
them about 80 days before their laying

To secure the best results in, queer

to swarm, and honey must be coming in

Carelessness in feeding or in exposing
sweets of any kind is often the cause ol

solution of carbolic acid sprinkled about

BODY OF sULphIDR ORE.
The Copper King At Dawson City
Has Cut into Rich Vein
of Sulphide.

At noon on Tuesday of this week
the shaft of the Copper King had
reached a depth of lSl feet and had
for twelve or fourteen feet been
passing down through vein of what
10 called by some arich copper oxide,
by others copper pyrites.
The shaft is five by eight feet and
the vein filled it entirely. and how far
it extends beyond no one knows.
Samples, not picked specimens, by
the sack full are at the RECORD Office
and have been eagerly inspected by
q large number of mining men, all
of whom pronounce it as good rich
copper ore. One Leadville miner
claims it will run upwards of two
ounces in gold.
The vein on Tuesday was standing
almost perpendicular, its pitch is
slight and to the south to the heart
of the mountain.
Twenty-Five tons had been selected
and saved, but now the ore is so rich
that every pound is fit for shipment
to the smelter. The management Of
the mine is highly elated over what
seems to be but the opening up of 9
large body of good pay ore. The
strike has caused quite a stir among
prospectors.
The RECORD again advises gooi
mining men to keep their eyes OF
Dawson City.

HOTEL STRATHMORE.
Col. Walter J. Jones. the Popular
Caterer Of Denver, VIII be At
The Head Of the Hotel.

Canon City will soon make good its
boast of having the only first-class
hotel outside of Colorado's largest
city.
Mr.. c. R. C. Dye, the gentleman
who recently purchased the hotel
property situated at the corner Of
Main and Fourth streets in this city,
has not made any vain boasts regard
ing what Hotel Strathmore would be,
when its doors should be thrown open
to the public. His claim has been
that the hotel would be placed in the
hands of no one except a person of
such hotel reputation that his name
alone would prove as national ad-
vertisement. Early this week Mr..
Dye, while in Denver, concluded the
details and the lease to Hotel Strath-
more passed to Col. Walter ]. Jones
and wife. Patrons of "The Chesa-
peake"in Denver form vast multitude
and these all proclaim that Col. and
Mrs. Jones are caterers second to
none anywhere, as has been evidenced
for many years by their large and
constantly increasing business. This
fact is especially attested as true by
travelling men who flood Colorado,
gentlemen who are expert judges OF
what constitutes a good hotel. In
the management of the hotel Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones will be assisted by their
nephew and niece, Mr.. and Mrs. Johr
c. Stubs, late of the city of Mexico
The culinary department of Hotel
Strathmore will be under the direct
personal supervision of Col. and Mrs
Jones, while the business Office ant
other details will be under the evel
watchful eye of Mr.. and Mrs. Stubbs
With such expert and accomplished
hotel people the fame of Hote
Strathmore will soon spread far ant
Vide, with the result that Canon Cit
will become a popular center ii
