finished her labor with four chicks az
the result. While suffering a thousand
torments and tramping around the nest
she had trampled upon and killed three
of the chicks. The human brute who
owned her had no sooner discovered
The facts than in his rage he. grabbed
the bird from the nest and with all
his strength hurled her to the ground.
She writhed a few moments and then,
bleeding and crushed, lay quiet and
soon breathed her last Perhaps i'm
agined it, but TO me there seemed to
be an indescribable, pitiful, reproachful
look in the eyes of that dying bird
which told as plainly as words could
possibly tell that she loved her chicks
thousand times more than did or
could the man who took her life and
that she would have given her life In
protecting them. She was only a hen,
you say. Well, maybe that's all, but
the God who sees the fall of the spar
row will see the hen Also and
thanked him from the bottom of my
heart that he gave me one which
would not permit me to wantonly, cow
ardly and inhumanly destroy a dumb
creature with the motherly instinct of
that hen. People who are capable Of
doing such things can never prosper

The Office is located in the bank

The local telegraph line which
was built for the use of the class in
telegraphy which is being conduct
cd by r. w. Smith, has been ex-
tended TO the Academy building

an excellent opportunity for young

study telegraphy. The price of
tuition $3.50 per month is less
than half of the regular price of
tuition alone in any school of tele-
graphy in the west and the ad-

A lecture will be given in Todd's
Hall, Nov. 18th, by DR.. Frances
Wood, of New York. While DR.
Wood comes under the auspices OF
the National Suffrage Association,

she presents most agreebly to her
audiences.
The eastern press speaks in
highest praise of her lectures, and

reception from the people of
our town. The dates in this val
ley are; Globe. 10th; Pima, 18th;

WATER ON Demand.

Water is an absolute necessity at all
times for fowls. Don't think for mo-
ment that the fowls can do well or live
a great while without plenty of water,
and during hot weather this should
have special attention, for a clean,
cool drink is as grateful TO them as to
ourselves. No one should neglect the
water supply for either the young or
the old stock. In fact. they could not
long grind their food or pass it through
the crop without plenty Of water to
aid in the process. for by the aid Of
the water is the food softened, diges-
tion aided and the system sustained.
1t is not much trouble to fill the water
pots twice day during hot weather,
and the fowls need it every hour.
Watch the little chicks run and take
little at Il time, then run away to feed,
and soon they come back for a little
more. This continual supply of mois-
ture aids them in grinding and digest
ing their food, and they must have 1t
all the time and plenty Of it or they
will not thrive as they should.

We have visited breeders yards and

so weakened and exhausted from the
ravages of lice that they actually died
on the nest. One case of cruelty that
we will never forget was one in which
just such bird figured. She was
large overweight bird and so infested
with lice as to make her wild with
pain and unable to sit or stand still.

The Cashmere goat is native of the
Tibet mountains and takes its name
from the celebrated valley Of Cashmere.
They are much larger than Angora
goats and frequently weigh from 200 to
300 pounds. Each animal has from four
to eight ounces of fine wool under its
coarse hair, and from this is manufac-
tured the expensive cashmere or India
shawls. The alpaca is a species Of la
ma and is a native Of the Andes noun

and wool.

The fast multiplying new uses for
mohair in this country point to a very
bright future for the Angora industry
When home grown mohair finds a
quick home market at so TO 40 cents per
pound. it is easy enough to see why An
goras boom.
Sow rape in the cornfelds for your
kids. 1t will make an ideal weaving
place for them without the slightest in
jury to the corn.
The pool mohair gathered and mar
keted at Hillsbcro, Washington county,
Ore, this season sold for % cents a
pound to home buyers.
For the first time the American mo-
hair market is a thoroughly independ-
ent one, not in the least affected by
Bradford or Port Elizabeth quotations.
With one accord and impulse every
Angora breeder in the country should
bend his best energies to the breaking
up of the senseless prejudice against
goat meat.
The fact that most of the high class
clips of American mohair are selling
IN American markets at from to 10
cents per pound above Bradford quota
tions for best Cape hair is very good
proof that American breeders are not
in dire need Of South African goats for
the improvement of their flocks.
Are we growing scores Of mohair
clips, large and small, as fine as Turk
ism and a good deal finer than Cape
hair? If not will some of the wise
ones tell us how it is that American
hair sells at home right up to British
quotations for best Turkish and a wide
margin better than quotations for the
best South African ?-American Sheep

Therefore, there is reason to believe
that this last Colombian note respecting

in order that the Colombian government
