The appearance of diphtheria in one
or two families calls to mind the fact
that on the appearance OF sore thro at
among the children or even older per-
sons doctor ought to be consulted at
once. The state board of health has
called attention to the prevalescence
of that dread disease in many localities
through the state, and expressed the
fear that it might become epidemic
this coming; winter, unless strict pre-
cautions are used. There is no need
for undue alarm, and there will be no
considerable spread of the disease, if
each family will take due precaution
upon the first appearance of any throat
trouble and satisfy themselves through
medical advice that it is not
diphtheria.

ucts of fisheries and with methods of
preparing and preserving the same; to
exhibit the gradual development and
actual state of artificial fish breeding,
sa likewise the various aspects of anna
teur fishing and angling, and to pro-
mote scientific research pursued in the
interests of fisheries. Awards are to
be granted by jury composed of the
managers of the Russian and of the
several foreign sections and will con-
sist of honorary diplomas, gold, silver
and bronze medals and honorable men
tons.
1t is also desired to have placed on
exhibition the gear used in fishing. Fish
hooks made of wood bone, stone, met
al, shells and teeth are asked for. and
also the appliances for gathering cor
ais and shell fish; also fishing boats
and vessels.
One of the principal features will be
the exhibition of the social side of the
f1shermans life from all chimes. Types

able, huts, tents, ETC., will be given es-
pecial attention.

tive Committee of the International Ex-
hibition of Fisheries at St. Petersburg,

The article 1 am referring to is that
which represented me as a ''Kahuna." l
am not a "Kahuna," neither have I any
claim to such dignity, although, the
word "Kahuna" in my mother tongue
means doctor" or priest.
II was a "Kahuna" l would have
cleared my way of all rubbish impeding
the progress of my efforts No conten-
tons and animosities would have happen

pening.
And in regard to a nominee for Gov
ernor, there was no name presented. The
names which were cunningly and patient
ly written and published in the Adver-
tiser, as a feeler, I suppose, there is
nothing in such stuff.
If you are very anxious to know who
the Home Rulers candidate for Gov
ernor is. let me tell you that my friends
are, bouy and soul,' in favor of putting
my name as candidate for Governor of

Has No E0ual,

You have asked whether or not there

/ consider cornmeal the best feed for
dairy COWS. ! have is cows and / feed
them II quart of meal at each feed,
and l have the richest cream at the
dairy. Fof young calves meal is an
excellent feed; if it is scalded and fed
with sweet milk it will make them as
fat as butter. Do not feed meal alone
to young chicks. l have kept poultry
for II years, and have found that
chicken cholera is many times caused
by cornmeal. The feed of young poul-
try should be changed every few days
| feed mine meal, mixed with bran,
red pepper, chess. millet and Hungarian
seed, and have lost very few, and ! have
raised from 600 to 500 every year. IT
you want good laying hens you must
feed them plenty of bran, cornmeal,
red pepper, ground bones and cooked
potatoes, and give them plenty of milk
and fresh water to drink. L have found
cornmeal to be IN excellent feed for
young pigs and shoats. To wean pigs,
give them scalded cornmeal mixed with
milk; this is n rich slop and will make
them grow and fatten, taking on good,
solid flesh. For young colts there is
nothing better than mixed ground corn
and oats. ] once lost a mare when her
colt was nine days old, and l raised
it on scalded cornmeal and mix. Corn
meal is the best feed / have ever used
for young stock, and l have had con-
siderable experience, for we feed five
or six calves every winter, giving them
also finely cut cornstalks, and they
were ready for the butcher at almost
any time. For horses ground corn is
a very coed as we'll as cheap feed. We
have our w mill and grind our own
corn, and we save from $50 to $55 on
an average every month. From our
experience 1 will say that it is
best for the general farmer TO own
his own mill and feed ground feed. /
think every farmer should have also a
cutting machine. We cut uptwo stacks
of oats and 300 shocks of corn every
year. We cut corr and bats together
and feed it to our COWS three times a
day. with a little Hungarian hay. We
have done this for three years aud have
found it to be the best and cheapest
feed for cows.-Lizzie Torbcck, in Prai.
