BELGIAN HARE NOTES.
The Doe and Her Young Require Con.
sider"ble Care and Must Be Fed
Judiciously.

When doe is bred she should be sep
arated from other hares, and more es-
pecially 20 when near the time of kind
ling, when she must occupy separate
quarters exclusively to herself. Four
or five feet square floor space will ac-
commodate her nicely. She must be
furnished with a nest box, and an or
binary cracker box is just as near the
proper size and shape as we could make
one. The nest box must be furnished
with material for nest, which may be
soft, clean, fine straw or blades of
grass or soft dry hay.
The doe carries her young 30 days,
which is the period of their kindling.
They usually have from six to ten
young. Young does seldom have as
large number as the older ones. The
young when born are very helpless lit
tie creatures, and on taking a look at
them, one would say they were imma-
ture. They grow exceedingly fast, and
in IS or 20 days they are running about,
and beginning to eat. Perhaps the
first best feed to offer them is shorts or
bran. prefer shorts.
The doe must be carefully fed milk
producing food, but right here I would
caution you to feed only sparingly of
green food, for the doe if not used to
such will over-eat of it and diarrhoea
and a sick doe will be the result. Ihave
carried the doe and her young until
weaving time exclusively on dry clover
hay, shorts, bran, oats and other grain,
with plenty of pure water, and never
had better results in growing the
young and keeping the doe in good con-
dition.
After the young hares begin to eat
well they may be weaned, but prefer
to let them run with the doe six weeks,
and they will usually be much better
developed specimens than if weaned
younger. I have young hares eight
weeks old that weigh five pounds, and
bred from very fine does scoring as
high. as 94h and weighing ten pounds.
No one should think that all stock of
Belgian hares is about one and the
same thing by any means. The facts
are that as yet there is but a limited
number of first-class breeding stock in
the country.-A. H. Duff, in National
Rural

Al to the Color OF Yo1ks.

When fowls are deprived of green
food the yolks of their eggs are very
pale yellow. These are much valued
for cake baking. Some people have the
notion that these pale yolks denote in
ferior quality, but this is not the case;
it simply shows lack of green food,
a full supply of which will soon inten-
sify the color Of the same. Again, many
think that blood spot on the yolk is q
sure sign Of bad egg. But this is not
necessarily So for at times this spot is
deposited upon the yolk from rupture
caused as it passes the oviduct aad il
pre- entint the egg when perfectly fresh.
This fact shows the necessity Of test
ing even fresh eggs by candle prior to
pa cking for markets for while. these
spots do not really injure the eggs, peo-
ple. dislike to~use them, and their pres
encs causes buyers to think that you
send out bad eggs.-Rural New Yorker.

How to Put Up Wire Fences.

Wire fences should be straight from
point to point. Corner posts should be
tree trunks dug out with the lump or
stump set in the ground not less than
3A ora feet. Line posts should be driven
so that it frost raises them they can be
driven down past it. Should be either
1871 or 80 feet apart, with false post
between; ~ inch staples are best. For
trees, use a board nailed on tree, fasten
wire on board. Sap corrodes zinc and
rots wire. Two points are safer and
cheaper than four points. In stretch
ing always begin on top wire. Never
use more than one staple on line post,
two on end, or better, ratchet.-Ernest
Moses. in Farm and Home.

and at two in the morning the answer
came that the major had reached Chey-
enne about midnight and they would
search everywhere for him. This was
the last until long after the rising of
another sun.
Events and excitements, alarms and
rumors followed each other with start
ling rapidity during the day. In glar-
ing headlines the local paper published
the details of the massacre at the GAP,
lauding the valor and devotion of the
soldiers, but heaping abuse upon the
commander of the post, who, with
other troops at his disposal, had looked
on and lifted no hand to aid them.
Later, of course, it was proved that the
veteran had foiled old Red Clouds vii
famous plan to lure the whole garrison
into the open country and there sur
round and slowly annihilate it, while
then, or at their leisure LATER, his
chosen ones should set fire to the un-
protected stockade and: bear off those
of the women or children whose years
did not commend them to the mercy
of the Ratchet. Soldiers and thinking
men soon saw the colonel was right
and that the only mistake he had made:
was in allowing any of the garrison to
go forth at all. But this verdict was
not published, except long after as un-
important news, and in some obscure
corner The Laramie column, so the
news ran, was fastening down the
Powder river to strike Red Cloud. The
Indians would be severely punished,
ETC., etc. But old Folsom's face grew
whittier as he read that such orders had
been sentsand, that the general himself
was now at Laramie directing matters.
I'm Gods name" urged he, '.if you have
any influence with the general, tell him
not to send foot column chasing
horsemen anywhere, and above all not
to; follow down the Powder. Next
thing you know Red Cloud and all his
young men will have slipped around
their ' flank and come galloping back to
the Platte, leaving the old men and
women and wornout ponies to make
tracks for the heap walks to follow,

"What then?"
"You know he planned the whole

Springs and the Sweetwater?"
Eyes, heard that, too," said Fol-
som, still wondering.
"You know some one must have put
that Birdsall gang on the scent, and
that Burleigh has had alleged nerve

paragraph of the letter in his hand:
CORDS, seals and wrapping were intact

Lieut.. Dean"

his head. He sank into a chair, gaz-

$4,000 or so. Some one hoped to
cover this shortage in just this way
to send little squad with bogus

They would have got it but for the
storm at Canyon Springs, and no one
would have been the wiser. They
couldn't have got it without muir
derous fight. No one would ever dare
confess his completely in it. No state
ment of theirs that there wasn't a

Horses for Germany's Army.

An experiment is soon to be made
by the German army in which horse
dealers all over the country will take
more than lively interest, and if the
experiment is a success there will be
an activity in the horse market such
as has not been experienced since the
advent of the horse car. Recently
four commissioners of the German
government came to New York for the
purpose of purchasing horses for the
German army. The experiment will
be made with the purchase of 5000
horses that will be made Immediate
ly. The 5000 horses will be shipped
to Germany and the German army
will at once put the horses to the test,
and, if satisfactory, then large pur-
chases will be mace.

To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as great boon.
Not only is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh than the treatment of the
catarrh specialists, but it is within the
reach of every person in this land.
Peruna can be bought at any drug store,
and is remedy without equal for
catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, consumption, and all climatic
diseases of winter
Peruna is not a, guess, nor an expert
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
Let no one persuade you that some 9TH
er remedy will do nearly as we'll. There
is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna

Care of Parchment Paper.

Once in awhile we hear complaint of
mold in butter tubs and pals even
when parchment paper is used. A but
termaker says that in the case of
parchment paper it is often due to the
fact that the parchment paper is kept
in rooms where moisture is abundant.
In some cases the rooms are those that
are used every day and perhaps are
washed out every day. The result is
a vast amount of moisture, the steam
often filling the rooms. The paper be-
comes damp and the germs of mold be-
gin their work, which is continued
after the paper is put into use. The
parchment paper should be kept in q
dry place.-Farmer's Review,

CHAPTER XIII.

Yes, Burleigh was gone, and there
was confusion at the depot. At six the
doctor had come forth from his room,
saying he was better, but must not be
disturbed. At seven the major, carry
ing satchel, had appeared at his Of
fee, where two clerks were smoking
their pipes, innocent of all thought of
their employers coming. It was after
hours. They had no business there at
the time. Smoking was prohibited in
the Office, yet it was the major who
seemed most embarrassed at the unex-
pected meeting. 1t was the major who
hastily withdrew. He was traced to
the railway, and it was speedily found
that he had sent word to the division
superintendent that the generalha tel
egraphed for him to join him at once at
Cheyenne, and a special engine and
caboose would be needed. At a quarter
past seven this had started full speed.
It was II when the discovery was made.
Meantime Folsom and Stevens had con-
the large sum he had loaned Burleigh
and the conditions attached, and be-
tween them a dispatch, concisely set
ting forth their suspicious, was sent
the general at Cheyenne, with orders
to rush." as they were determined if
possible to head off the fugitive at that
point. Back came the wire ten minutes
before midnight that the general had
left Cheyenne. for Laramie by stage
that evening, and must now be near the
Chugwater and far from telegraphic
communication. Then Stevens wired
the sheriff at Cheyenne and the COM
handing officer of the new post of Fort
Russell to stop Burleigh at all hazards,

thick coat of leaves or straw. On
such floor fowls will rest most COM
fortab.y. If roosts are provided, even
low ones, some of the fowls will not
go upon them, their great weight
making them timid. they will huddle
on the floor under the roost, where
they would become cold, and their
Plumage probably soiled in the morn
ing. A low small addition is made to
the regular poultry quarters, the
hight not being more than half that
of the latter. Across the front of the
opening is burlap curtain, hung on
a wire, which is drawn across the
opening on cold nights, making the
fowls very warm within. This low
addition can very easily be made if
the poultry quarters are in another
building, the night quarters being let
out into the room adjacent.-J. E.
Jones, in Farm and Home.

fixed to the front. A longer chain is
fastened to the back of the sled, as
portrayed. The draft-chain is fast
ened to a snap-hook, which may be
released. Then the dumping-chain
comes into use and tips the sled over,

sled is ready for reloading, this time

two sleds in one, and by rounding

PARASITES ON POULTRY.
Camphor Balls, Says One Writer, Are
Sure Death to Red Mites and
Other Species Of Lice.

A poultry raiser, who for several
years experimental with various insec-
ticides in search of a reliable remedy
for the little red mites and the various
species of the hen body louise that in
tests the nests of sitting hens, could
find nothing effective till he tried cam
phor balls, says Farmers Guide. He
says he has had the hens leave the
nest before the eggs were Matched,
completely covered with these pests,
and has taken off many broods of
chickens when he would find half a
dozen or more big white lice on their
little heads, and this, too, after hav-
ing busted the hen and nest well sew
eral times during the incubation with
various kinds of insect powders.
The balls are perfectly harmless to
the hen and chicks and the hen with
her brood of chicks will leave the nest
absolutely free from lice. Make your
nest and put in the eggs, and at the
same time place in the nest with the
eggs one camphorated ball, which is
sufficient for the entire incubation, and
your hen and little chicks will leave
the nest free from all kinds of YER
min. When you have placed the little
ball in the nest you need not bother
any more. It will evaporate and get
to be. very small toward the latter
part of the incubating; but never
mind, it has done it's work.
Since using the camphor ball he has
not raised a single chick with scaly
legs. 1t is good idea to keep one
of the balls in the nest where the
hens lay, as it keeps them free from
vermin. The camphorated ball is a
little white ball, and can be had from
any drug store.

AS result of the changeable eli.
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man. Nearly one-third of
the people of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh in some of it's
many phases and stages. Add to this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
Their fact that it is capable of producing
a great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of this
dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh spe-
cialty. Of course a great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
yet a comparatively small number of
the people can avail themselves of this
treatment because of the great expense
necessarily attached to it.
