death OF his brother John, which oc-
CURED at Butte, Montana, last Tues
day. Mr.. Keiver received the news by

father left Wednesday to look after
the remains which will probably be

was Is years of age. He left here
about two years ago at the first call

one year. His company was sent to
the Philippines, where it did excellent
duty in battle and garrison. After

CHRISTMAS is n festival for all the
people, rich and poor, high and low,
old and young, rulers and ruled, but
it is pre-eminently festival for the
children. Since the birth OF the
heavenly Child in the little town of
Bethlehem, the claims OF childhood
have received greater attention.
What great efforts are now being put
forth in Christian lands to properly
educate and train and care for the
little ones. Orphanages are estab-
lished, and schools for the deaf, the
blind, the feeble minded, and the
poor and INDECENT children. There is
no end to games, pictures, and illus
trated books for the young. No
effort or expense is spared in proyid-
ing things for their comfort and hap
piness All this is the result OF, Chris
tian civilization. Christianity is es-
sentia!ly the Kingdom OF the child.
May the children Of Marshall county
find lots OF happineSs and carry away
many pleasant memories from the
Christmas OF 1900, is the wish Of the
SHEAF. 5

The present Congress will reduce
the war taxes, but in doing 80 it
seems to us, the tax 'on beer should
be the last one to touch. The pre-
sent tax on beer is 50 pr barrel. 1t
is safe to say that reduction would
not benefit the consumers Of the bev:-
erage in the least, they would have
to pay the same prices as they d"
now, but the benefit would be nearly
all on the side OF the brewers, who
are the ones clamoring for a ,reduc-
ton of this tax. There are many
other articles on which the tax may
be reduced with greater benefit to
all the people. 49,. 49,

nor were they averse to one Of four,

not at all uncommon. The average

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.
pal Substances Desired In
Food for Poultry.

Many Farmers 90 not FULLY under
stand the terms used by those who
give directions for feeding, although
some farmers have made such matters
a study. A farmer may not know the
relative proportions of the several SUBJ
stances in foods, but he should en-
deavor to learn by experience what to
give his focks, what to avoid, and how
often. The two principal substances
in food desired for poultry are nitro
gen for flesh, albumen, etc., and car
bon (for fat). The heterogeneous foods
are meat, beans, clover, and to ce1<
tain extent grains. The carbonaceous
foods are corn, fat meat, grease, RICE.
etc. If a hen is fat she needs no food
exceling in fat. Hence, finely cut clio.
yer hay scalded in the morning, with
a tablespoonful of linseed meal at
night, is better for egg production
than grains. IF the hen is poor, give
grains at night. All foods, however,
contain fat and also some nitrogen.
It should be borne in mind that the
more quiet and sluggish the disposition
the less corn or heating food is re-
quired. A laying hen should never be
very fat, for the accumulation Of fat
is very injurious to reproduction. If
too fat the hen may not lay; she be-
comes egg7bound, breaks down. and
soon proves unproductive. Any fowls
that are active foragers and are laying
may be fed all they will eat; but if the
hens are apparently in good health, but
do not lay, feed no corn, give plenty
of meat and allow bulky food, or they
will fatten quickly. If fed heavily, a
hen will either lay or fatten in short
time, and if the hens are Asiatics and
cease to lay the feeding must be done
cautiously. It is even better to get
them down to a poor condition rather
than permit them to become too fat.
An excellent mode Of feeding is to
allow plenty Of bulky food, and to give
each hen an ounce Of raw chopped
meat in the morning and whole oats at
night. A few grams Of wheat or corn
may be scattered in litter, in order to
induce them to scratch, which will be
beneficial; but grass may be fed free

ing an Asiatic from setting; but the
best way to break her is to place her on
q grass-plot in yard and compel her
to hunt for her food. "a box may Be
allowed her ct night, which should be
removed the next day, unless in damp
weather. The object should be to get
| her to work and reduce her in flesh.

PHOSPHORESCENT BACTERIA.
Microbes That, Kept Under Proper Cir.
cumstances, Will Light Room.

NJ. Raphael Dubois, in paper read
before the Academic des Sciences, de-
scribes a series Of experiments in
which he obtains a luminous source
Of considerable intensity by the use
Of certain microbes or photobacteria,
which have the power Of emitting
light. These are allowed to propa-
gate in a liquid bouillon Of special
composition. When the experiment
is made with good microbe cultures
to start with, and at the proper tenn
perature, the development is rapid,
and the liquid soon contains the mi
crobes in sufficient quantity to give
the luminous effect. A glass vessel
is used to contain the liquid, prefer
ably with plain sides, and it is posi-
BILE in this way to light room strong
" enough to distinguish the features
of a person placed at several yards
distance, and newspaper type may be
read. The light has scarcely any
calorifc effect, and the properties Of
its chemical rays seem to be also
feeble, as it requires several hours
exposure with an instantaneous plate
to obtain good image; on the other
hand, the rays seem to possess con-
siderable penetrating power, as i'm
pressions may be made upon the plate
even though screens Of wood or card
board are interposed. A sheet Of
aluminium is, however, not traversed
by the rays.
In these experiments it is important
that the boui1lon in which the mi
crobes are propagated should be well
prepared. It should contain water,
salt, an aliment analogous to glycerin
or mannite, another represented by
the peptones or asparagine, and an
aliment containing hosphorous, such
as nucleine Or phosphates, as well as
traces Of the mineral compounds
which enter into the composition Of
such organisms. The use Of peptone
is attended with some difficulty, as
putr ton is likely to set ii and
destroy the action; ]. if it is used, it
should be aerated BY 9 current Of
sterilized air and slightly agitated.
With asparagine the best results
have been obtained, and the solution
keeps well, giving the phosphorescent
effect in free air; its cost, however,
is . disad vantage. If well prepared,
the phosphore ent solution will keep
for q long time wit hout deterio rating;
