Mining Mention.

Messrs. l.. G. Chadwick and
Ridley, Of Detroit, Michigan,
were visiting in growing Grange
vile this week on business con-
nected with the development Of the
Consolidated Hydraulic Mining Go.
whose home Office is at Bontiac,
Michigan, and properties on Cow
creek, Salmon river, this county,
which they bonded some time since
from Mr.. Wiley, and where they
are putting in system of bitches
and reser voirs to work some very
rich ground on the old French Joe
diggings. They have tive-foot
streak Of gravel on the rim which
gives big prospects, and the best
informed miners along the river
think they have an uncommonly
good layout. A tunnel was run
through the high bank OF gravel
OVERLAPPING the pay streak for dis-
lance OF $40 feet, but it did n0t
reach down to the pay dirt through
lack of sinking, although foot Or
two below the floor of the tunnel
tn B pay can be found anywhere.
The company has ample backing
and we wish them abundant SUD.

states that himself and associat1o
are we'll pleased with the showings
which they have made upon their
properties and expect to put in .
mill equipment early in the coming
season. They have done 500 feet
of tunnel work and crosscut the
vein at depth of 240 feet, and
have a good strong ledge Of gold
bearing quartz which assays very
satisfactorily. The company il
composed Of Montana people.
While lowering the pump in the
shaft of the Dewey mine, eight
miles northeast Of town on Tues
day, the pipe caught against the
timbers, dislodging two sets and
resulting in the serious injury Of
one of the men named Piggott
whose ankle, shoulder and ribs are
dislocated. DIR. Bibby went down
to dress his wounds and he is get
ting along nicely.

The rrlmble County Hen.

We have read of Maud on a summer
day, who raked, barefooted, the new
mown hay; we have read OF the maid
in the early morn, who MIXED the
cow with the crumpled horn; and
we've read the lays that the poets
sing of the rustling corr and the How
ers of spring; but Of all the lays OF
tongue or pen, there's naught like the
lay Of the Trimble hen. Long, long
before Maud rakes the hay the Trim
BILE hen has begun to lay; and ere the
milkmaid stirs a peg, the hen is up n
has dropped her egg; the corn must
rustic and flowers spring if they hold
their with the barnyard ring. II
Maud is needing a hat and gown, she
doesn't hustle her hay to town; she
goes to the store and obtains her suit
with a basket full of her fresh hen
fruit; if the milkmaid's beau makes a
Sunday call, she doesn't feed him milk
at all, but works up eggs in a custaro
pie and stuffs him full of chicken Try;
and when the old man wants a norm
does he take the druggist a load o.
corn? Not much! He simply robs
nest and to town he goes-you know
the rest. He fingers there and he talks
perchance, of true reform and correc'
~feenance, while his poor wife stays al
home and scowls, but is saved from
want by those self-same fowls; fol
while her husband fingers there sh'
watches the cackling hens with care
and gathers eggs, and the eggs shell
hide till she saves enough to stem tn
tide. Then hail, all hail! to the Trim
BILE hen, the greatest blessing of al
men! throw up your hats and max
Rome howl for the preserving barn
yard fowl; Corn may be king, but it
plain to be seen the Trimble hen !

HOW, WHOM, WHEN TO KISS.
No Longer Good Form to Kiss on
the Lips, 1t Is Said-The Duty of


NO Longer Good Form to Kiss on
the Lips, 1t Is Said-The Duty Of
Mothers.
And now even kissing is being re-
duced to a science! Once upon a time
when people wanted to kiss, they just
kissed, and that was all the fuss there
was about it. Now all this is changed.
The woman who wan to be absolutely
correct in kissing, as she is in
h selection of her hats or gownS,
stockings or ~petticoats, must kiss ac-
cording to rule.
ut is no longer good FORM" we are
assured by n of these newly-fedged
authorities on polite OSCILLATION, "to
kiss even you dearest friend on the
lips. That kiss is sacred to lovers n
to husbands n wives. In polite So
ciety, the kiss upon each cheek is now
the accepted form of greeting between
friends M relatives. When women
are about the same age, either one
may offer the caress, but between d
young woman and an older woman, the
younger must proffer her lips and the
older will gracefully turn her cheek to
receive the kiss. Then, If the older
woman desires to be exceedingly gra-
cious, she may, in turn, kiss the young
err; u there is no d~iscourtesy If she
turns the other cheek and becomes III
recipient of the second kiss.
"Under no circumstances must the
younger woman turn her cheek for the
first kiss. This is a pretty little act of
Difference on her part, but to force her
senior to give her the kiss is distinct
rudeness. The well-bred woman is al
ways cordial, but never effusive in
her caresses. She is also chary of
them. Promiscuous kissing is in bad
taste. OF course, to kiss even ones
nearest relative in the street is not per-
MISSILE. A woman who is the possess
sor of self-respect and dignity will
take care that her kisses are not mean
ingless. '
There are several reasons why the
kiss upon the lips has become obso-
lete, the principal one being that it is
unhygienic. Especially is it bad for
children to be kissed upon the lips by
their ELDERS. Mothers who study health
never kiss their own children in his
way, and is careful that the nurse does
not thus show her love for her little
charge. Kisses may be pressed Upon a
child's cheek, brow, eyes chin or neck,
out never on the mouth. A hurried
kiss is always an insult. Some women
put off the goodbye kiss until the last
moment, and hen give it in a peck on
the cheek. The proper way to give a
kiss is to press your lips lightly but
firmly, against the cheek, and let them
rest there for an instant. There must
not be anything suggestive Of a smack.

A professor of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College says that the pocket
gopher digs its runs three to four
inches under the surface, cutting off
the roots which happen to lie in it's
path, put worst of all it throws up
a chain Of mounds along the run
which render moving very difficult.
If unmolested, this pest will carry OF
its d~epredations to such an extent that
the field will have to be plowed up.
They also feed on alfalfa roots. No
preventive has been found. Trapping
may be employed against them, but it
is tedious and generally unsatisfac-
tory. Poisoning is perhaps the easiest
and most satisfactory method of de-
stroying the gopher, and If properly
done they may be almost entirely ex-
terminated. To poison them, as soon
as a fresh mound is seen, get some
potatoes and cut them as they are
usually cut for seed. A bottle of crys-
tallized strychnine, which may be OBJ
tanned by any adult at a drug store
at so cents per bottle, should be at
hand. Then, with a pocket knife or
old case knife, slit the pieces and drop
a crystal of strichnine not larger than
a wheat grain in the slit so it will
lodge neal the middle of the potato.
The potato being moist, the strych-
nine will soon be dissolved and car
ried all through it, and 1t should be
used as soon as poisoned. Take a
spade and a wagon rod and the pota-
toes and proceed at once to the "goph-
err patch" With the rod poke into
the ground around the fresh hill until
the run is located, and open with the
spade. Drop in a potato, cover up and
proceed to the next hill. Gophers are
very fond of potatoes. One dose usual
ly kills the gopher. If too much
strychnine is used, or the potatoes are
not used as soon as prepared, the
poison is not so effective. If the tielc
is gone over once a week, the old hills
leveled down and the new mes giver
a potato, the gophers' work will soor
be very much lessened. Now and ther
one will be too smart for the potato
and will keep at work. Try to tral

Pork from Horsehesh.

The western ranchmen has found a
new outlet for otherwise worthless
horsefesh. The ranges of western
Montana have for a long time sup
ported large droves of wild horses OF
no particular breeding and worthless
for commercial purposes. Their hides
could be sold for about 50, and the
ranchmen sometimes bought the ami
mails from the Indians at a nominal
price. Recently a ranchman that was
feeding a large number of hogs con-
cluded to try horse-fesh. So he start
ed in buying at $1.75 all that the In
dams would bring him. He sold the
hides for 81 each and fed the horse
flesh to his swine. At last reports he
had disposed of about 500 horses in
this way. AS the horse-fesh costs
him practically nothing it should be
a paying business.

Mrlk organs.

The milk organs are quite intimate
ly concerned in the productive capacity
of the COW, as it is in these that the
milk and butter fat are finally elab-
Grated from the food. 1t Is not alto
gether clearly understood how the milk
is made in the gland, but it seems
quite probable that it is produced by
the e%phithelial cells within the udder.
So far as is known, the quantity OF
milk that can be produced depends in
a large part upon the number and
activity Of these cells. The number
Of such cells is limited by the size of
the udder and the amount of fatty It's
sue it contains. The dairy cow should
therefore have a large udder capacity,
the larger the better, but the size Of
the udder should not be due to any
large mount of fat or flesh. There
should be an elasticity of the tissue,
with a shrinkage Of the udder when
empty. The udder should have con-
siderable surface, extending far for
ward and we'll up behind. 1t should
be well balanced and symmetrical in
shape, indicating good development in
all quarters; for the more perfectly
developed the organ is, the larger the
amount of milk it will be likely to
yield. 1t should be spread consider
ably from side to side also, while the
teats should be even and sQuarely
placed. To make room for UGH a ca
pacious, ~well-developed udder, the
hind legs of the cow should be wide
apart, the thighs should be thin, and
the TANKS high arched.
The activity of the udder, or the
amount Of work done in it, is indi-
Gated to some extent by the quantity
of blood that passes through it, which
depends quite largely upon the capac-
ity of the blood vessels which are con-
nected Herewith. 1t is important,
therefore, that there should be a strong
and full development Of the arteries
and veins of the udder and abdomen.
The milk veins should be large and
elastic, should extend we'll to the
front, and should enter the abdomen
through large or numerous o%ritices,
thus permitting a strong flow Of blood
through them with a minimum of re-
sistance as it returns to the heart
Besides these veins, there is a net
work Of them in the fore quarters OF
the udder, and still others pass up
ward behind, which, when large, in
dictate considerable productive capac-
ity.-Bulletin 20, Storrs' Experiment
Station.

According to the results of studies by
Prof. A. E. Verrill the beautiful Ber-
muda Islands are merely the remnant
of an island, very much larger than
the present entire group, but which
has sunk in the ocean. The original
island had an area Of 800 or 400 square
miles, whereas the Bermudas today are
only about twenty square miles in
area. Within a comparatively recent
period, says Prof. Verrill, the Bermu-
das have subsidized at least so or 100
feet. Their base is the summit Of an
ancient volcano. while their surface
is composed of shell sand drifted into
hills by the wind and consolidated by
in%fltration.

Pedigreeing Seed Corn.

A communication from the Univer-
sity of Illinois says:
Corn responds to selection as read
lily as cattle. There is no longer any
doubt that varieties of corn can be
further improved by the same methods
that have developed our breeds of live
stock. Little attention has been given
to a systematic study of corn, as re-
CARDS the adaptation of varieties to
peculiar conditions of soil and climate,
the breeding out of sterile plants, the
adaptation of varieties for particular
purposes, as for feeding, starch fac
tories, production of corn oil, human
food, or to the fixing of variety char
acteristics with a standard perfection.
Extensive experiments have proved
conc1usively that corn is subject to
great variation and that by taking ad-
vantage of these variations by intelli-
gent selection, almost any improve
ment desired can be brought about.
An illustration Of the effect OF such
selection among other plants than In
dian corn can be found in the develop
ment of the sugar beet. Vilmorin, a
French plant breeder, by selecting for
growing seed those beets having a
higher per cent of sugar than the or
binary field beet, gradually increased
the per cent of sugar in the beets from
about 8 per cent to 16 per cent, max
ing it possible to proitably manufac-
ture sugar from this source,
Highly bred corr has been developed.
There are at present a few distinct
varieties Of corn with widely different
characteristics which have been de-
veloped by careful selection during a
quarter to a half century. From the
fact that we have had no standard Oh
perfection for these varieties, in fact
have not known their history or pc
culiar characteristics, this improve
ment has been very slow. The unlVer'
sity has secured a large number or
samples of these established varieties
with the object of determining the
variety characteristics and making a
standard for each variety. When this
has been accomplished, it will be pos
sible to supply pedigrees for these
varieties, which must mean, as it has
meant in the breeds of live stock, a
rapid improvement anG fixing of the
characteristics of the varieties now in
existence. The university is also col
lecting the authentic history of these
varieties as lar back as they can be
traced.
The specially selected seed corn VIII
never be used to plant the corn helos
Of Illinois. This seed must ALWAYS OK
ist in sn all quantities which can te
used to grow the 100000 or NOR
bushels of stock seed that Will oe
needed to plant the general crop fol
Illinois. This stock seed will be OF
high grade, but one generation re-
moved and should differ but slightly
from the best selected seed. This seec
can only be developed by corn special
ists, because it requires continued ant
careful breeding. 1t will v eXls'
il large quantities because OF the close
selection to which it should be SUD
jected.

Captain S. P. Emmerson, who has
just died in Denver, was distinguished
as the leader of a company of irregular
Confederate forces, commonly known
as guerrillas, who hoped to capture or
destroy Chicago. Captain Emmerson
escaped capture on that occasion by
stealing a horse and riding away.
Many of the exploits of his command
were as daring as those of the Guam
trell, Morgan or Moseby raiders. He
was nee captured in Kentucky, but
escaped by cutting a hole in the roo
of his prison. Captain Emmerson was
a warm friend to the James boys. He
never recovered from the grief caused
by the fall of the Confederacy.
