HALF A CENTURY OLD.
Pet of a Rhode Island Farm

Priscilla is a goose, and she's proud
of the fact and takes great delight In
her age. More than half century old,
she is the property OF Thomas t.
browne. of Foster, R. l., who marked
her fifty-first birthday not long ago,
with unique entertainment. Fifty
one guests were present The refresh
ments were frozen pudding in the
shape of Priscilla, little candy geese
and goslings of angel cake. Priscilla
strutted around from guest to guest
arching her neck inquisitively.
In 1852 Priscilla was born. Her
"hstchday'' is established beyond dis
puse, for she burst her shell on the
same day that a baby girl arrived in
the browne family. Priscilla was
Matched when geese were good proper

For a had Back.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. l9th.-A greet
many men in this neighborhood used to
complain of pains in the back, but now
scarcely one can be found who has any
such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible
for the improvement, for it was he who
first of all found the remedy for this
Backache. He has recommended it to all
his friends and neighbors, and in every
case it has had wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says
''For many years I had been troubled
with my Kidneys and pains in the small
of my back. l tried many medicines but
did not derive any benefit until last fall
when 1 bought dozen boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. After using them a few
days | began to improve, my back quit
aching and felt better and stronger all
around.
IT will keep them in the house right
along, for in my opinion they are the best
medicine in the market to-day, and if my
back should bother me again, win use
nothing else"

"REMINISCENCES OF CHICAGO,s EAR
LY DAYS.
How the First Freight Was Shippe,
to The City BY Rail-.


"As live stock market, Chicago stands
second to none," said well-known dealer.
THE figures for 1902 show that almost
eight million head of sheep, ovei four mil
hon hogs, hundred thousand horses, a
quarter million calves and three million
cattle were brought to the Chicago market
last year by the big railroads that reach
out, like The Chicago & Northwestern,
into the cattle ranges and feeding grounds
alloover the west. The reports show 49,
100 carloads of live stock received here in
l9O2-quite growth for the 55 years since
the first shipment"
The stockman ruminated a moment.
That first shipment was queer, now,
wasn't it?' he continued. did You see
that little account of it in the papers the
other day? Young Millican Hunt, now
over so years old, had started across the
prairies to market with sled load of
hogs and when he got across the Des
PLANES River he found there was no snow
on which to draw his pigs the rest of the
journey.
''That was in '4S, the year the Galena
road, now The Chicago & Northwestern,
built its first ten miles; and young Hunt
made dicker with the crew of con-
struction train, loaded his porkers on the
train, and rode into Chicago triumphant,
behind the little old Pioneer
''Was you ever out to the Field Column
bian Museum" he continued. ''Well, you
should go out there some day and see thac
old locomotive. She stands for good
deal from Chicago's point of view
Brought in the first load of live stock, and
the day the road was opened and the
Mayor and the big men of the town were
trying the novelty of ride on the first
regular train, she pulled the first rail
shipment of grain into town.
''They tell me, now" he went on, "that
last year that load of hogs had grown to
over 65 900 carloads of live stock brought
into Chicago over The Northwestern Line
alone, and instead of one wagon load of
wheat The Northwestern brought over So
100000 bushels of grain to the city"

Young Schelmer nodded as he
plucked another leaf from the vine.
He noted vaguely that his fathers
voice was not so strong as it used to
be; but then, there was small wonder.
for he was an old man. The boys
heart contracted with spasm of what
must have been pain. The word had
such a chilling sound; the train of
thought succeeding it was bitter. Yes,
his father was old. threescore-and-ten

R.ddinr for Farm Animal.

The practice of keeping animals well
bedded not only induces the larger gains
and economies on the amount of food
consumed, but the greater attractiveness
of yards and barns when well supplied
with bedding more than offsets the cost
of growing, handling, etc. 1t should be
remembered that the vegetable matter
furnished in the form Of straw to animals
during the winter is Of the utmost value
when returned to the land in the form OF
manure. It adds to the bulk of the ma
nure, so that each year larger area is
covered than would be the case where lit
tie or no bedding is used. Midland

Dust for the chickens is essential.
Pat boxes of fine, dry, fioury road dust
where the fowls can battle in it.
Sprinkle it freely on perches, on floors,
on droppings. Furnish it in abundance.
Remember that the feathered biddies
can't be ..real clean" unless they have
lots of mice clean dirt in which to
battle and wash and roll and toss and
tumble and kick and swim. Remem-

Raj. in poultry Houses,

If the poultry house is in such condi-
ton as to allow rats to run under the
floor, the farmer may as well give up the
poultry business They are worse than
any disease the fowls may have. When
the house is built it is very easy to put
wire netting, such as is used for the
small chicks, under the floors If you
have not done this, another easy way to
keep out rats is to put in a cement floor
1t may cost a little more than fixing up
the wooden floor, but it is safe against
rats, and wooden floor is not. If wire
mesh is put in with the cement when the
floor is laid it will be all the better

The Germ Theorx.

The discovery of the germ theory is per-
haps the most important in the history
of medicine, the discovery of the stomach
OF course excepted.
Exhaustive experiments on guinea pigs
have made it clear that mankind cannot
be we'll without serums.
But such is the character of serums that
nobody will take them unless he is
frightened.
And the germ theory has thrown more
scares into more people than all other
theories put together.
Thus it is not easy to see how we should
manage to have any health to speak of,
without the germ theory.-Puck.

To Keen cider sweet.

A woman who has tested the process
for many years, says she keeps sweet
cider perfectly sweet by the following
recipe: Strain sweet cider through
muslin to be sure no pomace is left,
into a porcelain kettle; let come TO a
boil, then boil for about five or ten
minutes, no more. Bottle while boil
ing hot in clean beer bottles or other
stout bottles, using new corks, cutting
the corks off even with the top of bot
ties and sealing air tight. Cider will
be as sweet as the day it was bottled,
and need not be used until the next
summer.-Rural New Yorker.

Now that oysters are in again try this
method of making a scallop for Sunday
night tea. Instead of arranging the
bread crumbs, oysters and seasoning in
alternate layers, prepare the requisite
amount of crumbs, which should be dry
and crisp, not fresh and soft, by sitting
salt, pepper and celery salt thoroughly
through them. Pour oysters and liquor
on the crumbs and mix lightly with two
forks. Add cupful of cream, or enough
cream to fill the buttered dish, put bits

New Corn for the Hogs.

In nearly all cases in commencing
to feed new corn to hogs, it is best to
feed stalk and all for a time, starting
when the milk is out of the grain and
feeding in this way as long as the hogs
chew up the stalk with an evident rel
ish, feeding only such an amount as
they will eat up clean, gradually in
creasing the amount as their needs
seem to require Midland Farmer.

BAND IS .UNIONIZED

March on Labor Unions.
vN'oN'ztO FIVE WFkfs AGO
Probably Reconsider Matter Of
Taking Day at Fruit Fair.

When the Walla Walla Trades
council, week ago, declined the in
vitation Of Secretary Van De Water,
to take a day at the fruit fair this
year, on the ground that Ellery's
band, which has been engaged by the
management, was an unfair" band,
In that it was non-union, it did not
know that the organization had be-
come unionized and that in addition
every member had taken out naturali-
cation papers.
Robert Mayer, secretary and treas
urer of the organization, arrived in
the city today to arrange for the band
to fill it's engagement at the fruit fair
He said:
Il was rather surprised to learn
that the Walla Whlla Trades Council
had declared against our band. The
organization was unionized five weeks
ago at Davenport, Ia, and the news
was telegraphed to all parts of the
United States. In addition to this
every member Of the organization has
taken out naturalization papers.
Mr.. Ellery has the finest aggrega-
ton Of musicians this year that he
has ever had The band consists of
Is members and every one will be in
Walla Walla when the band fills it's
engagement at the fruit fair. Mr.. Ell
iery has secured a new leader. Chief
farella, known as the favOrite pupil
Of Mancini, the greatest band arrang
er in Italy if not in the whole world.
The organization has been recently
strengthened by five new solOists, all
artists in their line.
Mr.. Ellery was formerly nusical
critic On the New York Sun. He is
native American, a direct descend
ant Of one Of the signers Of the De-
claratiOn Of independence"
The action Of the Walla Walla
Trades Council in declining 20 take
a day at the Is = will probably be con-
sidered at an early date. The presi-
dent could nc BE seen today but
members Of vaiE1us crafts said that
inasmuch as the 5ard had become I'M
ionized, there was no legitimate rea-
son now why labor should not have
a day at the fair.
