Need OF warm Hen.uou.os.

Practical poultry keepers have long
known the necessity and value of
keeping hens In warm houses in order
to get the best results in winter egg
production. 1t has been left for the
West Virginia experimental station TO
determine just how much difference
there would be In egg production be-
tween similar fiocks kept in warm and
cold houses. Two houses, built exact
iy alike, and situated side by side. were
selected for the experiment, in each
OF which Were placed twelve pullets.
One house had previously been
sheathed on the inside and covered
with paper to make 1t perfectly tight.
Both were boared with matched sid.
ing and single roofs.
The fowls were fed alike in each
case. The morning mash consisted of
cornmeal, ground middlings and ground
oats, and at night whole grain was
scattered in the litter. They also had
fresh water, grit and bone and grapu.
lated bone. The experiment started
November "a and continued for fiye
months. The following shows the
number of eggs laid during each pc.
First month, warm house, 81 eggs:
cold house, 80 eggs, Second month.
warm house, 1870 eggs; cold house, 100
eggs. Third month, warm house. 1888
eggs; cold house, 103 eggs. Fourth
month warm house. 100 eggs; cold
house IA eggs Fifth month. warm
mousse lo4 eggs; cold house, Ia eggs.
Iotai' warm house 629 eggs; cold
house, 496 eggs. This experiment
plainly shows that 1t is important to
build warm houses for hens II you
want them TO lay large number of
eggs during the cold weather when
eggs are high in price

potatoes a. Food For Cattle.

When potatoes are cheap they may
be cooked and fed with advantage to
cattle, sheep and swine, not because
the potatoes contain a large proportion
of nutritious matter, for they do not,
being mostly composed Of water, but
because when fed in connection with
corn or oats, ground, the potatoes pro-
mote digestion and increase the value
of the grain, the combination giving
better results than either food alone.

A Remonstrance.

N. s. Tubbs has been busily engaged
the past few days securing signatures to
q remonstrance, to be sent to the presi-
dent, in opposition to bill introduced
in congress last week which provides for
the leasing of public lands. The remon-
STRANGE reads in part as follows:
"We belieye that the leasing of lands
will greatly retard the settlement of pub
lie lands of the United States. That the
leasing of such lands will result in put.
ting the control of such lands in the
hands of few, and that such control
will operate so as to effectually prevent
the improvement and development ei
the same. That no substantial increase
in the value of such lands will accrue
when the same are LEASED, as they will
in effect be Withdrawn from settlement
and occupancy by the actual settler.
That any attempt at satual settlement
and occupancy ofsueh lands will be fol.
lowed by serious trouble and litigation" I"
The remonstrance will be forwarded
to Representative Martin with the re-
quest that the same be presented to the
president. 1t received the signature oi
nearly everyone to whom it was present

Mill Site Law.

A bill is being drafted by Col. James
A. George OF Deadwood and will be pre-.
sented to congress, providing for the
location of millsites on the Black Hills
forest reserve of greater acreage than
allowed under the present law. Instead
of limiting millsite locations to FIVE acres
it will make it possible to take up from
twenty to 100 acres, with restrictions
that will prevent its being taken advan-
tage of for speculative purposes.
Such law would make it possible for
number Of large reduction plants to be
built on the Black Hills forest reserve
particularly along the lines Of railroad.
Under the provisions of the bill the
locator is given three years in which to
complete his mill after having filed his
location. A government official inspects
the work at the expiration Of the three
years. If 1t is found that the conditions
have been carried out and that no more
land has been appropriated than is nee.
essary for the building and operation oi
the mill, the locator will be granted a
patent for the land upon the payment ol
fiye dollars an acre.

Hill City'a Fire.

A destructive fire visited Hill City
early Sunday morning. The people
were awakened by the report of explod-
ing cartridges and upon, examination it
was found that they were In the Coates
hardware store which was burning Be.
fore anything could he done to subdue
the flames the entire building was ablaze.
The town has no water system and the
only means of fighting fire is by bucket
brigade. A futile attempt was made to
save adjoining buildings, but that effort
was soon abandoned and all endeavors
bent in the direction ofsaving the stocks
of goods and fixtures in the burning
buildings. In this the people were sue
| cessful and in most instances the owners
were able to save all or the greater por-
tion of their goods. The entire blocks
on both sides of Main street from Hayes
Bros. corner to the store of McEachron
was consumed The fire is supposed to
have been caused by defective fue in
the Coates building. The total loss is
estimated at from $4,000 to $50, 900 with
very little insurance.
The following is list of tho buildings
destroyed as compiled for the Pioneer.

The Hills Militia.

According to Lead special, Col Amos
Patriquin, assistant adjutant general ex.
poets to muster in four companies of
militia in the Black Hills during the
next few weeks. They are being or.
ganized at Custer, Rapid City, Hot
Springs and Spearfsh. Custer was the
first to forward it's roster to Col Patri-
quin, and will therefore be given rank
over the others. The Rapid City roster
is complete and will rank next The
Hot Springs and Spearfsh companies
are expected to furnish the required
number of names within the month.
The Custer aid Rapid City companies
were to have been mustered in before
this, but letter from Adjutant General
s. J. Conklin who is at Washington, D.
c., recommended that the muster be
postponed for few weeks, owing to the
inability of the war department to fur
nish the infantry equipment at this
time. 1t will be available some time in
June. General Conklin considers the
prospect good for the militia TO receive
the new service rife from the govern
ment instead of the old Springfield, and
he expects the distribution to begin some
time during the summer.
The four companies being organized
in the Black Hills will compose one
battalion of the Second regiment of in.
fantry, South Dakota State Guard. The
companies are allowed a minimum mem
bership of thirty-five and a maximum
of forty-fye. The four companies vii
probably elect the major of the battal

A Bit of History.

Close beside the Guernsey line Of the
Burlington, between Fort Laramie and
Guernsey, where the railroad follows
the course of the old Mormon trail for
miles through Wyoming, there is an old
grave with bit Of history. Last spring
there was found few feet from the
grave an old cart wheel on which had
been carved with knife this legend,
"Rebecca Winters-1846." This date is
that of the Mormon's exodus to Utah,
and the idea naturally suggested itself
that member of the party of 500 per-
sons who accompanied Brigham Young
on his memorable trip had been buried
there. 1t seemed probable that some of
the friends or relatives of the deceased
might be located, even after the lapse of
SO many years, and with that end in
view, the information was given to one
OF the Salt Lake papers.
Within three days following the pub
lication of the story, the Burlingtons
general agent at Salt Lake received thirty
letters from members Of the family, and
call from gentleman more than sixty
years of age who said that his mothers
Rebecca Winters had been a member OF
the Brigham Young party and had died
on the trip overland.
A neat fence has been placed around
the grave by the Burlington, and mem
bers of the Winters family in Utah are
now collecting fund for the purpose oi
erecting monument over the remains
of the unfortunate woman.

Hill CITY had a disastrous fire last sur

Hill City had disastrous fire last Sum
day morning. Sixteen OF the buildings
in the town we're destroyed, the loss be-
ing approximately estimated at S35, 900
on stock and buildings. From past ex-
perience, and from the loss our neighbor
has suffered, we should take a lesson
and make arrangements to protect the
property in this city when fire comes.
What say you, is it wiser to spend money
to insure safety by system of water
works or shall we continue to trust to
luck and in case fire originates let it
burn? Wells are about dry all over
town and what could we fight fire with
if it should come? Plenty OF water is a
pretty good thing to have around when
the town gets afire.
