Keep Ono Breed Of Fomls.

1t is much easier and much better
IN every way to keep only one breed
of fowls. 1t may, perhaps. cost n
Nifle more to get good start, but
when once on the right road the cost
will be no more, and the satisfaction
)ne gets from well kept flock OF pure
bred fowls, to say nothing os the
money side of the question, IS sufi-
cient incentive for ones guidance.
Take, for instance, a flock OF 100 pure
bred Barred Plymouth Rocks. all ex-
1ctly alike, and what prettier sight
could one wish? And this does not
apply alone to this breed. There are
~iozens of others equally as attractive
nd as profitable.
Several pure breeds run together
soon develop mOngrels; possibly no
Ioubt they are superior TO the old-tim
Jarnyard fowls. but mougrels just the
same. They cost as much to feed and
require as much attention in every
way as the pure breed. while they are
neither as good layers or table fowls
as are the pure breeds Keep only one
breed, and let that one be some good
standard variety that you fancy most.

The Indians Managed the Matter Better

a correspondent of the Bedford In.
quirer. IAN old mountaineer." makes
the following novel propositions for
the prevention OF destructive forest
fires: First compel all owners of wood
land under heavy penalty TO clear
their woods of all leaves and small
underbrush by burning the same or
otherwise removing at such times as
the owners may select during the
months of November, December and
January, holding them responsible for
any damage done to the property OF
others, so that proper care and judg-
ment may be used. OF course the first
clearing OF mountain and other tim
Der land on which there may be an
accumulation of leaves and brush (thc
product of many years. will be at
tended with some expense and great
care. but when once cleaned nearly all
care, expense and trouble will end in
case all owners Of woodland each and
every year be compelled under heavy
penalty during the aforesaid months
10 burn all the leaves which may have
fallen from the seasons growth. Ii
this be done there can be no forest
fires during the nine succeeding
months; there will be nothing to burn.
After the forests and groves are
once cleared of all leaves and small
underbruSh. the cost of each year of
burning the leaves of one seasons
growth will hardly exceed the cost of
a box OF matches. Furthermore, il
done properly, there can be no harm
to any young growth as farmers know
from experience that burning stubble
off field will not kill the roots of
grass. The ashes of the leaves. being
left on the ground, will prove n good
fertilizer, and more than enough unin-
iured acorEs and nuts will be left to
take root, where it is impossible if
there be a heavy carpet OF leaves.
FAN fires. simply from the fash of n
coating of one seasons leaves, will be
so light that birds and game of all
kinds will scarcely be frightened. and
in the months named there arc TO
young birds and nests and no helpless
animals. Nuts, too. of all kinds could
easily be seen and gathered when
wanted.
Let us learn wisdom from the In
dams and the hunters of 100 years
ago. When the leaves were burned

United States Consul +. w Hoss-

Mining operations are commenced by

that the enormous pressure OF gases
shut up in the same causes the soft
mass OF wax to be forced out with
great vehemence. Such occurrences
greatly imperil the lives OF the min
ers. who are compelled to flee TO some
higher part of the shaft for safety. In
some cases the pressure is so powerful
that even the deepest shafts are filled
with wax up to the surface. Previous
to 1884 the average yearly deaths from
such accidents were nine per 1000. In
recent years, however. measures have
Been taken by the Government to pro-
tect the miners lives.

Mineral wax is never found i'm a pure
