a thing very easy to obtain on farms
where wood is burned almost exclu-

Diseased stock should be got rid OF
as IL seldom pays to keep birds that

Of little value, and as breeders they
are worse than nothing. Keep only
healthy fowls, and be sure that only
such are used for breeding purposes.
II is pity that SO much OF the
waste material at butcher shops is per-
mitted to be lost. All the bones and
scraps should be made into poultry
feed, and the local poultry raisers
should appreciate II enough to ensure

Tuberculin In Australia.-Mr. Cam
sron, veterinary inspector to the board
of health, Victoria, has issued a re-
port showing the result Of his expert
ments with tuberculin as a test for
tuberculosis in dairy cattle. Mr..
Cameron expresses the belief that the
lest never fails II 1t be properly APP
piled. Exhaustive experiments were
made ON the herds at the Leongatha
labor colony. A number Of cows re-
acted TO the test, and on being slaugh-
tered were all found to have tubsrcu-
losis. Forty showed no reaction, and
fifteen months later were again in.
jected, and showed no reaction. Two
were slaughtered, and found to b.
free from tuberculosis. Mr.. Cameron
is satisfied that, II the whole OF the
dairy herds in the colony were tested
and the cattle affected condemned anC
slaughtered, tuberculosis In cattl,
could be easily stamped out.

Mating for SiHe.

Mr. E. Cobb, In the Feathered World
of July 20. makes the following re-
marks on mating for size and shape:
The male bird undoubtedly sxer-
eises q certain amount Of influence in
regard to the size and snaps Of the
offspring; but to attempt to remedy
-as so many amateurs do-the defc-
iency of size In their stock by the pur-
chase Of an extra large cock, Is the
wrong way to 60 to work. The hen
has far more influence over both the
size and shape Of the progeny than
the male has. Take broad shoulder
ed, deep chested cock and mate with
narrow shouldered hens, deficient also
In breast, and the result Of such q
union will be but little, II any. Inn
provement. Had, however, the tables
been turned. and the hens possessed
the size instead OF the cock, far great
er improvement would appear in the
offspring; but, az we before remarked.
the male bird does exercise a certain
influence. 1t will be found that BY
breeding from large hens and cock
deficient in this respect the pull.
lets produced show far greater i'm
provement than is observable in the
cockerels. and it is only by continuing
the process Of breeding from large
hens that the cockerels will far out
distance the original cock. There Ii
no question but what the best plan
lie to have size and shape on both
sides; but If deficiency must Occur
on one side or the other, do not lei
II be on that Of the hens"
The above Is truth undefled. w,
regret that common practice among
amateur fanciers Is a tendency I,
breed from overgrovn and abnormal
ly large males. Many a fine cockarsi
because he happens to be understood
albeit correct in shape, La cast aside
snd some big, coarse brute, because @
his size, is selected to mate with a
average lot Of females. Mr.. Cobb
advice should be carefully considers
aud followed.-American Fancier.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Many republicans are now talk ing give-and-take-tariff policy, which means to them that others are to give and they are to take.-ln- dianapolis News Qnd.).
 -"We want to make people ir distant lands familiar with our prod ucts," declares President Mckinley. So we do-so we do, and, therefore, let us pull down the bars and trade!- Philadelphia Record.
 American enterprise and cap- ital are quite capable of making she world familiar with our flag, and that without any government favors. But the artificial barriers erected by the Mckinley school of economists have first to be overcome or broken down. Philadelphia Times.
 The Dingley tariff is, as Hanna says. .'balanced on scientific princi- ples." Every fellow got his share of the swag, scientifically distributed, and it must not be disturbed" for obvious reasons. If one of the breth- ren is despoiled of his share he will pull down the whole house of cards. Albany Argus.
 An exchange has found some- thing to say in favor of Mr. J. Pier pont Morgon. The steamships in which he is investing have not the benefit of an American subsidy. Still, Mr. Morgan may have eonidence that MT. Hanna can do better with the new congress than with the old Cincinnati Enquirer.

Twenty-Six Lives Lost by the Sink ing of the Steamer City
 of Paducah.
WENT DOWN AT BRUAKHURST LANDING.
Twenty-FOur of Those Drowned Were Deck Hands; the Others n Passenger Named Bell and Miss Mabel Gardiner, of St. Louis-BOat q Total Wreck.

Carbondale, H., May 1.-The City of Paducah, Mississippi river packet, was sunk near Brunkhorst's Landing, about four miles north of Grand Tow CT, about twelve o'clock Sunday night. Between 25 and 50 people were drowned, only seven of those on board escaping.
 The City of Paducah left St. Louis Sunday morning on downward trip, stopping at several landings and load. ing on freight, most of which was corn, until the boat was heavily load ed. Between Il and 12 o'clock Miss Fannie Block, who, in company with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Block, was going from St. Louis to Evansville, Ind, was reused from sleep by sud- den jar. She asked her mother if her berth had broken. and no sooner had the words passed her lips than water rushed into the apartments and they were compelled to act quickly to save their lives. With four others they es- capped to the Illinois shore by holding onto driftwood and swimming. The seven saved are Hebrews. Rev. Block is Jewish rabbi.
 The seven survivors of the catastro- phe made their way down the river bank to Grand Tower and aroused Mrs. Baronowski, at the Fremont no- tel, where they were given lodging un- til yesterday morning. They lost all their clothes and valuables and had nothing but their underwear and blankets about them.
 Among the drowned were about twehtytiye negro roustabouts. The upper structure of the boat can be seen above the water.
 Rev. Blcck, wife and daughter passed through Carbondale yesterday morning on their way to Evansville, where they will reside.
 Frank White, whose home is in Kan sas City, got aboard the boat at Land ing 76, north of Brunkhorst. He told the following story of the disaster:
 "I got on the boat at Landing 76 to go to Cairo. The boat stopped at Lake Ditch landing, and again q. Brunllhorst, which is only a few miles below Lake Ditch, and took on corn. At both places about seventeen sacl:s were loaded. After the corn at BrunH- horst had been placed on board the boat started down stream, and just as she put off struck a snag, tearing a big hole in her.
 The crew then tried to place the stern of the boat toward the river, and while turning her around sine sank. She is about thirty feet from shore, and her cabin and pilot house are above water. 1 jumped into a skiff and got ashore. A ..
 q don't know how many were aboard, but think there were about twenty-five drowned. Among them were two engineers, one white women and about fifteen negroes. There was great confusion and it may be more are drowned, and it is likely others of the party saved will tell different stories of the catastrophe. l was glad to get out alive, and did not tarry at the scene"
