Chicken Talk.

Scrub chickens usually have scrub owners.
 Get the spray pumps ready for business around the poultry houses.
 Little chicks need green food as we'll as grown fowls, and it should be supplied daily.
 Poultry raising is not a one- horse business unless a one- horse fellow is at the head of it.
 Fruit and poultry are a good combination. Both should be the best you are capable of growing.
 Good things cost money. When you decide to try a new breed, get the very best, regard less of first cost.
 Large flocks should be divided into a number of small flocks. This means more labor and also greater cash returns.
 The successful poultry mans work is never done. But 1t is this constant work, if it be well done, that yields a regular in- come.
 Watch the market. When eggs are high, sell them. When too cheap to suit you, hatch them and later market the product.
 Sick fowls should be removed from the flock as soon as discov- cred. If they don't recover in three or four days use the hatehet.
 You often hear of the good luck some people have raising chickens, but when you sift the matter you find "luck" has noth- ing to do with it-it was knowing how and then action.
 Poultry houses can be built in many ways, can be made cheap ly or at great cost, just as you like, but we urge that three inn portant points never be lost sight of. The open or partially open side should face south, they should be on high ground so as to have dry floors, and they should admit the suns rays dur ing considerable part of the day.

HOt Weather Weakness.

If you feel Jagged out, listless and lacking in energy, you are perhaps suffering from the debili- tating effects of summer weather. These symptoms indicate that a tonic is needed that will create a healthy appetite, make digestion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This, Heroine will do; it is a tonie, laxative and restora- tive. HI J. Freegard, Propr.

THE suits brought by Attorney General Murphy against Gov. Davis for alleged misappropria- tion of the contingent funds of the governors office were called Monday and the demurrer offered by Mr. Jackson, the governors private secretary, was argued at length and the court took the matter under advisement. It was contended by MT. Jacobson that the court had no jurisdiction as the use of the contingent fund was left entirely to the discretion of the governor and he was &C., countable only in political way and to his conscience, and that Governor Davis had only follow ed the precedent established by his predecessors in this respect.

AN Ozark county paper, whose truth and veracity TEE TRIBUNE IS inclined to question, claims to have found three new wild ani- mals in the mountains in South Missouri that heretofore has been overlooked by naturalists. One of them is the Oogly Woo, a six legged animal with sharp, stiff tail. When the Oogly Woo is eornered it stands on it's tail, and whirling rapidly around, bores a hole in the ground into which it disappears. Another is the dead ly Rackabear. It has four legs, two long ones on one side and two short ones on the other, ad iusted for mountain climbing. It will run rapidly around a mountain with it's four feet always touch- ing, and can only be captured by being turned in an opposite direc- tion, when it's two long legs be- come uppermost. The third is the one-eyed screeching Boo Boo. The Boo Boo is part bird and part wild dog. When closely pursued 1t will turn on it's enemies, and NitA a mighty gulp swallow itself.

The Fight Against CONSUMPTION.

The local campaign of education to pre-
vent the spread of consumption has thus
far me- with excellent and enrouragin,
success. and II pressed without remission
for few seasons 1t is not to be doubted
Such effort. of course must 5e cnntinu-

established conceptions of this disease are
stubborn before an advance of contrary
scientific facts. Easy though il IS of actual
demonstration. ii is extremely difficult to
persuade the public In large numbers of the
excess W danger OF prUmiscuous expectora-
tior. Absolute though the proof may be
that CONSUMPTION like other diseases OF the
respira tory organs is transmitted by means
OF dust. no precautions are taken worthy of
mention to prevent the contamination of
the air of cities where doubtless sufferers
from this disease walk abroad freely and
in large numbers. without the least care as
to the disposal OF the disease products. 1t
is only through steady work along the lines
adopted by the local committee of physi-
clans and others that useful results can be
secured.
The committee has adopted two general
N.sthods OF promulgating the truth, by
means of lectures and through the distribu-

More Water for Fire Fighting.

It is impossible to fight fire without ws-er,
and a city which cannot rely upon a sufa-
cfent pressure of water to keep its steamers
supplied in the midst Of the most extensive
confiagration is at the mercy Of the flames.
Former Fire Chief Dntton, in the course of
his annual report, notes that Washington
urgently needs larger supply Of water for
this purpose, and renews the recommends
ton of previous year that high-pressure
service be installed for the business district
of the city. The powerful new steamers
now i'm service will suck the hydrants dry
in short time after being coupled. and not
only does this exhaustion yield an INSULT
cient amount of water for fighting the fire,
but it is exceedingly Injurious to the en-
gnes. unless the greatest care is exercised.
Apart from the effect on the engines, the
city's safety demands sufficient water
supply for this purpose. The cost. what
ever it may be- will be well invested in
view of the assure nee that will follow of
far greater degree of security from the
spead of small fires into great ones. 1t Is
furthermore important to note that high
pressure fire service supplied from Fort
Reno. as has been suggested, would permit
the fighting of fires within the business dis
trict without the Intervention of steamers.
The usefulness of the department would be
many times multiplied.

TammanY's Hoodoo.

Bourke Cockrans anti-fusion oratory
has caused more of panic IN the ranks
of Tammany than in the Low camp. His
speech of Thursday night. in the course
Of which he asserted that the Low admin
istration was the most corrupt New York
had ever known, aroused cheers from the
mob, but the thinking leaders OF the Nc
Clelan campaign failed to see the point
of such a charge when Controller Grout
the kidnapped ex-fusionist. stands today on
the Tammany ticket as an exponent of this
very reform administration. Then Mr..
Cochran pitched into the Low method Of
tax assessments and scored the mayor
heavily. Immediately the fusonists and
Mr.. Grout ran a race to point out that
whatever might be said in criticism or
defense of the tax question should be
addressed to Mr.. Grout himself as con-
troller. Cockran's outburst is generally re-
garded now as boomerang. The Tam
many wiseacres are shaking their heads
In despair at the expedient of putting him
forward. The Cockranian eruption has
caused an overhauiing of old files and it
is now pointed out that for some years
past the silver-tongued ex-representative
has been the champion hoodoo Of the me-
tropoliS.

over single piece as yet but has only

Child Correction.

1t is impossible to read the story of James
Daley without wondering how such things
can be in this age of courts. publicity and
supposed Justice His case stands as a con-
vincing proof of the urgent need in this
country of a more consderate method of
treating boys assumed to be incorrigibe.
1t is of particular interest to Washington
ians at present in view of the local agita-
ton to secure d Juvenile court and better
system of child correction. At the age of
eleven years this boy who lived in Harlem
with his parents. was sent to the House of
Refuge because he continually played tru-
ant from school. He remained there two
years. and during that time his family visit
ed him twice. 1t is easy to imagine the
lads frame of mind and to question the
efficiency of the corrective detention under
such circumstances. One night in the course
of some sky-larking he was caught and
chosen for example. He was trans
ferred, without hearing. to the Elmira
Reforma tory. and from that time on he
never saw his family. When he had been
three years in the reformatory he was
caught one night chewing tobacco, which
had been smuggled into the institution.
Instead of reporting him the guard brutality
tried to make him stop by choking him.
Inere was a HRnI anu the DOy StTuck the
guard in the face. He was soon afterward
transferred to the Sing Sing prison for
a term of three and a half years There
was no trial. He has lust been released.
his term having been shortened on account
of good behavior.
Such things might not happen outside of
the state of New York. but this is an in
and warning instance of the dam
ger of intruSting too much power to the
authorities of these institutions for the ref
ormation of the young. Their task is far
more difficult and delicate than that of the
warden of a prison. They have in their
keeping the character of growing youth.
They can make or unmake him. can develop
his moral qualities or stunt them. OF all
the mistakes they can commit the thrust
ing Of a boy into prison to associate with
thieves is the very worst. The laws which
permit such acts of cruel Injustice are fla
srantly in need of amendment. The Of
ficials who commit them are worthy of i'm
mediate and severe punishment. The in
spection system which does not detect and
correct them is worse than useless.

that the government is not inactive when
