Where II Away. Hnfr..

There is Il group OF islands to the
south of New Zealand called the Sis
tiers. or Seven Sisters which are re-
puted to be subjected to Il practically
constant rainfall. The same may be
said Of the islands and mainland Of III
ezra del Fuego. save for the differ
ence that the rain often takes the form
bf sieet and snow. On Il line running
round the world from degrees to CT
D degrees there are patches over which
rain seldom ceases TO fall. This is
called the zone of constant prccipita-
ton" but at the same time there are
several localities along with it with
very little RAINFALL

The town council Of Logan,
has instructed the city attorney
to draw up All ordinance requi-
ring all dogs to be tagged, the
tags to be sold by the town at a
fixed price and registered. If a
dog is found in town after a
certain day without the legal
tag he is to be shot.
Missouri Valley tried that ex-
pertinent, and now has on hand
a large number of nice tags on

have filed their report of dam
ages with the county auditor

r,ute. Tie total amount of
damages awarded by the APP
prais rs is Sl3, 7S5 AMI the total
amollt claim III by owners was
'oyM $l39,0oo. A. Oliver, the
llrgest objactor, claimed $50, 0OC

Taken BY SURPRISE.
In making orr ro,1nG

| AA1esAAAiS OS~A ANutlNo WIS
morning we dropped into the
office of the Independent Smelt-
ing & Developing Company,
and while there we were shown
the samples Of ore that can e
from the Belle and Fortune
Dyke Mines. These ores came
from a large vein in each of
the mines and are certainly
good looking material. The
Secretary showed us assays
made from them and they ran
from $50 to $lO4 per ton and
we were informed that there
was a good we'll defined vein
of this ore. 1t seemed to us
that if the Honlestake Mine
could make so much money,
and pay such enormous divi-
dends from ore that averages
less than $500 per ton that
these mines ought to enrich a
great many people in a very
short time. We were shown
samples of ore from the rich
lstreak in the Belle mine, one
that especially deserves ment-
ioning, it weighs less than 3
pounds yet Mr.. Harris informed
Us that they had refused $500
for it in Denver. This beauti-
full sample will be on exhibition
at the st. Louis Exposition
! 1904. 1t has been our priv
ledge to examine some very
rich ore, but we never saw a
finer speciman than was shown
us from the Belle mine. We
can say that it will pay any one
to take the time to go to look at
this beautiful speciman.
We also We're shown views of
the Belle Mine and they GER
tainly show signs of great acti-
witty and indicate the faith of
Its owners by the anou mt of
money that must have been
spent in improving and equiping
the property. MIR. Harris in
formed US that the most money
was spent on their hoist. That

nigh. This hoist is on the top
OF a large double compartment
sl.aft, which is now 200 feet
deep and will be sunk 1000 feet.
In looking over the list of stock
holders we find the names of
many of our most substantial
citizens whose subscriptions
run into the thousands. Mr..
Harris assured us that this was
only the names of parties that
i had actually paid for their
stock. We never would have
believed that so much stock
could have been sold in so short
a time and it certainly could
/ not if their proposition had not
been able to stand the test Of
thorough investigation. The
company and it's officers and
stock holders are certainly to be
congratulated and we certainly
wish them a happy and pros
porous New Year.

A Mason City real estate agent
made 100000 this year selling
South Dakota lands, and in Gel
ebrating his good luck, he gave
a big banquet, hired bands, dis
tributed money to the boys on
the street, and attempted to
drink all the liquor in the city.
His antics finally landed him in
the insane asylum at Cherokee.
This is an awful warning, but
we have no idea it will lessen
the number of people who are
willing to 'get rich quick" or
who will try to drink all the bad
whisky in reach.

1t is a good plan to fix n railing around

six to eight inches above the floor. and
about n foot from the wall When the
sow lies down against the wall little
pigs are apt to get crushed between the

prevents this, and allows the young

DIST BATHS

In summer as we'll as in winter,
hens greatly appreciate Il dust bath.
When they have their full liberty they
generally scratch and scratch in a dry
hedge-corner till they make dust baths
for themselves, but those in confne-
ment must have it supplied. ANY dry
dust does; road dust, Cry sand, sifted
ashes. There should be heap of it

under the poultry-house; the raised
floor house is no longer popular, as the
space beneath is always wet and cold
The dust bath should be in the sun.
but needs of course, shelter from rain.
1t is well to mix a little sulphur in the
dust. 1t amounts to cruelty to deny
fowls a dust bath, even when they are
free from lice, as they obviously enjoy
it so much. 1t indirectly improves the
egg yield, for it affords them Occupa-
tons and keeps them in health. Chick
ems from a week old enjoy a dust bath
if they can have it; nothing keeps lice
away more, and yet many poultry
keepers give their chickens no oppOr-
tunity to keep themselves free Of these
pests.
