POULTRY POINTERS.

When chickens grow very fast, 1t sometimes causes leg weakness.
 Under usual conditions variety of food is better than any medicine that can be given.
 The only safe way of disposing of dead fowls that have died of any con- tagious disease is to burn them.
 Clover contains two elements that are in demand by the hens-nitrogen and lime. It is rich in the elements required for the whites of eggs.
 When roup gets into flock, it inva- riably leaves some ailment behind. The fowl that has been subject to 1t is seldom hea. thy again.
 There Is no cure for feather pulling except by more labor and time than an ordinary flock is worth. The best plan is to get rid of the guilty fowls as soon as possible.
 A hen seldom begins to eat eggshells until she finds one broken or until sine becomes accustomed to eating eggs thrown out into the yard. The safest plan is always to crumble them up fine before feeding,

Care of Puppies.

Puppies after weaning will keep strong and healthy and will grow fast if fed only on fresh buttermilk and corn bread, with soup instead of the buttermilk twice week, till they are five or six months old. Do not feed them sweet milk. Keep the puppies where they can get plenty of exercise
 Do not crowd them. Arrange their ken. nels so that they can go in and out of their sleeping quarters. If fed in the same vessels, some dogs get more than their fair share of food and lose thelr manners also. Fasten number of chains where they eat at such dis
 tances that no one can reach the other: then feed in individual pans. Give lit. tie medicine and plenty of exercise
 and you will then have strong, healthy dogs. An hours run every day in the year in the fields and Gweods, weather permitting, is essential to 0""d hno''h

It is a we'll known fact that parsons

them tells us the reason of it is that a

waste it riding behind slow, old plug.

why the cloth takes SO kindly to fast
horse, but think it Is the carnal and

Farming Pays Well.

The fact is farming is getting on a
pare scientific and commercial basis.
A big modern farm has experts for
each branch of the work and the OPP
GRAFTON of the whole is not unlike the
conduct of big factory. It used to
be said that to profit in farming one
must either hold or drive the plow
but even this is true no longer. An
interest in a good farm, perhaps on
shares, is often the best dividend
payer a man has.

DON CARLOS A DEAD SHOT.

Don Carlos. It appears. has left SONS
remarkably good impressions behind
him, in Paris. They are represented
by the cartons of the pistol-practice, in
the one or two galleries he favored with
his presence. His Majesty seems to
have the knack OF putting a dozen bull
lets into the circumference of five-
shilling piece with chronic precision
that, as a famous master-mariner said
OF his watch. has been equalled by few
and is excelled by none OF the monar-
chic profession. There are in other
professions men who can do this, u
they loose off at their own time, One
must not call President Roosevelt a
monarch; but many would back him to
do II. Where Don Carlos supreme ex-
cellence in that matter comes in Is that
he can put in the shots with the same
precision when he fires at the word
quite different thing from pulling

hit target of a retiring disposition, he

The Oregon Washout.

One of the persons who escaped from
the flood that destroyed the town OF
Heppner, Oregon, on June ID, together
with not less than 500 people, tells the
story as follows: "The rain was not fall.
ing in Heppner, but could be seen some
distance away. Sharp flashes of light
ming were accompanied by the bowling
thunder. Then suddenly tho thunder
died away ard low noise was heard,
very faint at first, but growing louder.
The city is situated on Willow Creek,
which makes q sharp turn above the
city. AS the noise grew louder and
louder the people became frantic. Then
i'm moment the van of the flood burst
into view around the curve of the creek,
carrying on its crest the cabins and
houses which stood In it's path. The peo-
pie made rush to the bills, but were
too late. The food was on them. The
little river in five minutes was trans
ferred into q torrent 400 feet wide and
20 feet deep. Houses were lifted from
their foundations and carried on the
swirlipg waters. People were carried In
their homes and forced to crawl out on
the roof. Then as the house moved
down the stream they caught on the
trees and hung there until morning,
when they were rescned." =,

Engineers to investigate rosaway Dam.

Greenville, June 23.--It is learned here
on unquestiOned authority that the
Southern Railway, the Blue Ridge Rail
road and the Anderson Light and Water
Company, which would suffer tremen-
dous damage In the event of any serious
break in the Toxaway dam, will send
engineers to the Sapphire country to
make Q careful examination of the struct-
ure. SO many conflicting reports have
been received in Greenville about the
dam that it is impossible to form any
adequate idea as to its strength and hold
ing powers without an investigation by
experts. 1t is for this reason, therefore,
that the companies whose property
would he at the mercy Of the floods, are
determined to secure an official report
on the subject. Off-hand opinion by
men not capable of giving the views OF
an expert, will not be sufficient.
The Toxaway dam is ~ miles in cir
cumference. In many places the water
is fifty feet deep. Should this mighty
volume ever escape, there would be
another Johnstown horror. 1t would
crush the Seneca river trestles on the
Southern and Blue Ridge into kindling
wood, and 1T would sweep away the dam
at Portman Shoals.
Says Toxaway Is Sound.
PiSkons, June 22.-Douglas Jenkins
kins is of the opinion that there need be
no fears whatever of the Toxaway dam
bursting. No expense has been spared
by the owners to make the dam abso-
lntely safe. 1t involved an expenditure
of $33,OOO. 1t is constructed of huge
blocks of stone with layers of fine gravel
and cement, and is so shaped in it's
structure that the pressure of the water
is not so much directly against the dam,
but lateral aud downward. During the
recent floods the water rose hardly six
inches. There is a spillway constructed
twice the width of the river bed to con-
vey off the surplus water in case of flood.
This spillway is carefully lined with rock
30 that no danger could arise during an
overflow. The water could have risen
eight feet higher than it did in the re-
cent flood without endangering the
structure. The spillway, however, would
have been utilized long before the water
could have risen to that height. The
lake is sixteen miles i'm circumference,
varying in depth from few feet to about
80 feet.

His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1880, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards camping upon his claim,
he encountered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle worked
complete cure, and he cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this item.
