POULTRY POINTERS.

Large roosters with small hens Is a
very poor combination.
Scalded milk and cooked rice will
often stop diarrhea in fowls.
Indigestion, one of the worst diseases
among poultry, is often caused by sour,
moldy food.
Eggs intended to be hatched in an in
cubator should never be allowed to be-
come chilled.
In order to have poultry tender and
juicy they must be fattened quickly.
Two weeks Of good feeding are usually
sufficient.
Use plenty of lime in the poultry
house. 1t will kill lice, is good dis
infectant. will purify the air, it de-
stroys vermin and prevents gapes.
One of the best ways Of feeding oats
to poultry is to put them In a tub at
night, pour scalding water over them,
let them stand until morning and feed
them warm.
When the fowls are closely confined
or when the ground is covered with
snow, they must have bulky food. Cut
clover hay well steamed is good, as
are also cabbage leaves.

Many Divorced in Augusta.

The Augusta Chronicle points out
the way that divorces are obtained
By residents of South Carolina in the
following paragraph, which is not at
Ill creditable to either side of the
river: "The divorce of ten couples
in Savannah this week, in the Supe-
eior Court, is thought to be an item
notable enough for circulation in the
State newspapers. In Augusta the
divorce of ten couples would be 8
very trifing record. From thirty to
fifty couples in single day is the
usual Court record here, but then
Augusta is the divorce mill for the
State of South Carolina, where no
divorces are allowed"

Removing Tumors Early.

If it were generally known among in
telligent people that great numbers Of
innocent tumors sooner or later be-
come malignant and that malignant tu-
mors often simulate benign tumors and
remain quiescent for great while, the
sufferers would unhesitatingly consent
to the removal Of these morbid growths
in their inception, long before the pos
sible advent of serious mischief, OF
when the cure might be effected by mi
nor operations which would leave the
smallest scars, especially in such parts
as the face, neck, arms or hands.

FIRST VIEW OF WHITE MEN
The Rife and Burning Glass Fright
ened the Indians.

ened the Indians.
It is small wonder that the first view
of q white man created terror among
the superstitious Indians. A striking
instance of this occurred when the
Wallawalla Indians first saw Captain
Clark of the Lewis and Clark eXpedi-
tion. Thinking to propitiate the saw
ages and allay their fears Of the white
men. he planned to visit village of
the Wallawallas before the arrival Of
the rest of his party.
With this end in view, he set out to
cross the Columbia river in canoe,
taking three men with him. On the
way he shot crane and duck, both
of which fell near him. He landed be-
fore five wigwams placed close to each
other, but not a person was visible,
and the doors, which were Of mat,
were closed. Holding his pipe in hand,
as an indication Of good will, he push
ed aside one Of the doors and entered
the lodge.
Inside were thirty men, women and
children huddled together in terror.
He went to them, shook each by the
hand and said some friendly words,
expressing by word and manner his
kindly feeling. Their apprehensions
were allayed until he took out his
burning glass and lighted his pipe by
the rays Of the sun. CONSERVATION
again prevailed, and what might have
occurred but for the timely arrival Of
two chiefs who knew the white men
cannot be told.
It seems that the Indians had not
seen Captain Clark, but they had seen
the white crane which he had shot
fall just before his appearance. They
had also seen the duck fall at his shot.
They connected the fall Of the birds
with his advent and thought lie had
fallen from the clouds.
The sound Of the rife, which they
had never before heard, they believed
was a signal to announce the white
mans coming. Small wonder, then,
that their hardly allayed fears were
again aroused when he brought down
fire from heaven by means Of his burn
ing glass.-Youth's Companion.
