1t is poor policy to winter over
large number of fowls, when by
the judicious use of few dollars
in advertising one is sure to sell
off some of the surplus.

1t is impossible to breed prohta
BILE chickens from over-fed and
stimulated fowls. One Of the signs
of over feeding laying hen is the
egg shells become thin and later
no shell at all. The hen drops her
soft eggs when on the perch at
night, and usually eats it the first
thing in the morning.
The cause is due to their being
too tat and generally out of condi-
ton. Hang up an ear of corn,
just high enough to make them
jump to get to it, head of cab
bage suspended will furnish them
with change in diet as well as
exercise. Now feed the small
grain, such as oats, wheat, ETC., by
scattering we'll into about eight or
ten inches of scratching material
and the soft shell eggs will be
hard to find.
Use judgment in feeding pullets

an easy matter, at this time, to

There are still a few weeks re.
naming in which road dust may
be gathered to supply the winter
dust bath for fowls. A few min

save a great deal of trouble next
winter.
The surest, quickest, and in the
end, most economical way to cure
a sick hen is to cut its head off
One of the most prolific causes OF
infection in many flocks is the sick
fowls that are allowed to remain
in the flock until death carries
them off,
People who raise their poultry
for table use will find it profitable
to pen the fowls intended for such
purpose. and feed them upon sweet
clean grain for short time before
killing. The flesh will be far more
! tender and juicy than that of q
fowl taken from the yards.

WONDERFUL CANANEA.

Noel Burrisau, an expert miner, is in the city today from Cananea, at which place he is in the employ of the Greene Consolidated company, where he has spent the last two years assisting W. H. Banks in the develop ment of the Alisio mine, one of the nu- merous bonanzas, and a producer that has a record of having yielded gener- ously toward making of W. c. Greene a multi-millionaire of today. MT. Burrisau is a widely-traveled miner, but during all his various wanderiEgs, says he, it has not been his pleasure to see in anything in the min ing line that would compare with the Cananeas. There is more progress and thrift observable there than in other camps of greater pretensions but not so large possibilities. This state of af- fairs MT. Burrisau attributes to the in- domitable energy and perseverance of W. c. Greene, who has as assistants men imbued with the spirit of their chief, consequently when an improve ment or development is mapped out the work is straightway carried to con- clusion, and as a result Cananea is modern mining camp, systematically and scientifically developed with more up-to-date machinery than one would see in any other mining camp of like size on the Pacific coast.
 The entire country surrounding Cananea is highly mineralized, says Mir. Burrisau, and he anticipates that other bonanzas will yet be brought to light in that region where the condi- tions are so promising and the oper- ators are enthused with the hope of emulating Mir. Greene.
 MT. Burrisau talks interestingly on mining in general, but deprecates anything that tends to destroy conf dence in that industry. In the Can anea region, he says. everything is op- erated on the legitimate, but farther inland, and as distant as they can get from civilization, questionable con cerns are operating and fleesing their eastern friends in a shameful manner, selling stock in several instances when they haven't the remotest show of q mine; nor do they care so long as the stock can be fioated on a phantom mine.

CHLORIDE DISTRICT.

Mining activity is going through a siege of dullness in this immediate camp, owing to the torridness of mid summer and scarcity of water with which to operate mills.
 Nevertheless the camp and district are distancing their records as being good ore producers and shippers, and the Jacket company, adjoining the California-Alaska company. is install ing an eight-stamp rotary mill, and have ore bins filled for the seasons run. They expect to start their mill very soon. The Jenny Reid Gold com pany, under Manager Lucas. will spend s150,000 in the next fifteen months in development work. This property is under bond from Mrs. Paul Cabler, and was favorably reported on by the com pany's expert. There is also a strong company. comprising southern capital, opening hydraulic camp at the Shuck placers. and the prospecting gives a return of 10 cents per yard.

RED RIVER DISTRICT.

A cold and wet spring has retarded mining operations in the Red river district, New Mexico, but now work is being pushed vigorously.
 A wagon road is nearly completed up Placer creek This road is built to give access to several promising prospects in that part of the camp The Jayhawk and Scarlet have con siderable ore on their dumps ready to be hauled to the Jayhawk concen- trating mill at Red river as soon as the road is completed.
 Rogers and Luce Brothers have a force of men at work on the JayhawB and are now taking out some good ore. They recently cut into what they believe to be the main vein. Il this proves to be the case and the val ues hold out as hoped, they will prob ably put in a new plant at the mine for the exclusive treatment of theil own ores, leaving their present con centration mill down the river for sue tom work They have fifty acres D patented and twenty acres of unpat ented ground in good region Their ores are gold and silver bear ing, gold values largely predominal ing and partly free milling.
 With good management and skiilfu treatment the Jayhawk ought to prov a steady and profitable producer b the end of the season

The Venezuela Trouble.

The situation in Venezuela seems to be
clearing somewhat. The Germans are resting
on their laurels after bombarding the little
Venezuelan forts, and between time are kept
busy assuring the world that they are in per-
feet harmony with their English ally. The
lifting of the blockade is still delayed, but de-
tails of the settlement are being arranged,
and United States Minister Bowen has guar
anteed that the customs duties of two impor-
tant ports will be devoted to the paying of
indemnities. 1t is thought that preliminary
settlement will be made within a few days and
the blockade lifted. Germany has been en-
gagged in game of harassing the United States
and endeavoring to see how far she can pro-
coed before the Monroe Doctrine is violated,
but such protests have arisen in the English
press that that government has been forced to
90 slow in the matter, and the English Am.
bassador at Washington has been exerting all
his influence to arrive at peaceable solution
of the difficulty. The moral of the whole sub.
ject to the United States is--get larger navy.

Angora Goats.
Written for the Democratic Advocate.


Klee Milling Company, of Gist, Md, pur,,
chased 10 registered Angora goats. They will
breed Angoras for their fleece and their value
as brush destroyers. Goats are browsers by
nature and there is no vegetation they will eat
in preference to leaves and twigs OF bushes
They are omnivorous eaters and seem partlc-
uar to avoid that character of vegetation
which other kinds of live stock prefer. Every
leaf and twig within their reach is greedily
eaten, even to most of the bushes and weeds
that are considered poisonous. They will de-
sert the finest clover and blue grass for such
outlay. In those localities where valuable
land is completely subdued by brush, the goats
are considered of more value for the purpose
of clearing ii than for their mohair or meat.
They thus become one of the farmers import
ant tools. 1t is said that in Oregon, where
Cinnamon had been paid as high as $50 per
acre for clearing off brush, goats had done the
work even better. Sprouts will spring up be-
hind mems work, but goats will keep them
down until they cease TO appear. Their hesh
is called Angora venison, and is superior TO
that of sheep. Their skins are used for max,
ing handsome robes, and are extensively used
for trimmings for children coaks and coats.
Some first class skins have brought as hlgh as
$500 apiece for this purpose. Iheir neece
is called mohair, and is used for the purpose
of manufacturing mohaIr cloth. Inc eueh'

Goats Fair, and cost $40. The pure bred
Angoras are very graceful, and their beautiful
shaped bodies and fne silky hair make them
very attractive, and are very clean in their
habits As pets for children they are quite
popular. The Angoras are tractable ana are
often harnessed to carts rs are common goats,

Cubans Criticise Germany.

HAVANA, Jan. 29.-The arrival today of
the German schooship Charlotte from Port
of Spain has brought forth some adverse news
paper comment on Germany's action in Ven
ezuela.
The Government will extend the same hon
ors to the officers of the German vessel as are
being shown those of the French cruiser Tage,
who, with the French Minister, M. Brouwaert,
were entertained at banquet at the palace
this evening by President Palma. Official
visits are being exchanged, and the presence
of the Charlotte will also be celebrated by
reception tomorrow which has been arranged
by the German residents.
A majority of the House of Representatives
and the people generally are in favor of a
Government lottery scheme to guarantee the
proposed loan for the payment of the soldiers.
Such measure would be vetoed by President
Palma. The passage through the Senate of a
bill providing for the payment of the loan
through the internal revenue is probable.
