A COnuuering Fawn.

A sambhur fawn possessed in India

The Lilies.

Two thousand years ago It was sud
posed that water lilies CLOSED %A.i-
flowers at night and rctreated far un-

Ihis was Pliny's view, and 1t was not

John Ray, in 1858, first doubted ito
veracity.
The great lily Of Zanzibar, one of tho
grandest of the lily family, opens its
flowers, ten inches wide, between II In

They are of the richest royal blue,
with from $50 to 200 golden stamens

"Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Union are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills.
Our citizens are telling the good news
oltheir experience with the old Quaker
Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading: .ss.
Robert Sanders, mill hand, residing
at 15 Church street, says My son used
Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney and
bladder trouble from which he has suf-
fered almost all his life. He looks like
o healthy boy, but he cannot stand any
work which causes strain on the back !,
and the secretions from the kidneys are
strong and dark and there is too fre-
quent action, especially at.night. 1 am
convinced that the pains and other
symptoms arise from weakness of the
Kidneys and the bladder and although
We have given him dozen kidney rem
edies the results were so slight that we
thought he would be afflicted for life
Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised,
I went to Holmes Pharmacy and got a
box. Before he had used half of it the
trouble was relieved. The use of two
boxes brought such satisfactory results
that we were as delighted as he is. He
has had no return of the backache and
the other symptoms of weak kidneys do
not trouble him."

One of the distinguished features of
the little village of Far Hills was the
deep gully that lay upon one side of It,
This gully was q never ending source
OF fear to the inhabitants. Mothers of
bad children threatened them with 1t.
Mothers of good children warned them
against 1t. Its sides were deep and al
most perpendicular. The bottom was
so covered with n dense growth of un-
derbrush that it looked as though there
were no end to it's depth.
Young Perry Haskins, known as Pig
gy by his friends, was very youthful
specimen of humanity in the village of
Far Hills. At times he was bad boy;
Mt other times, few and far between,
he was exceptionally good. He was
pusher at any rate, and In enterprise
of all kinds he generally was the leader,
Of the gang. His daring knew no
bounds, and when the G. L. and L. de-
cided to take in Far Hills OH it's main
branch young IIaskins was the first
lad OF his crowd to cross the trcstle
that had been built to span the gully
And this he did even before it had been
completed. After that the boys called
1t Piggy's bridge. Piggy would crawl
out to the middle and with the eyes
Of all Far Hills upon him would lie
upon his stomach and gaze with inter-
est into the black depths of the gully
down below.
After it was finished young uaskins'
day was never complete one unless
he had walked across the trestle and
then back again. Even this was
ticklish proceeding, for there was moth
Ing but the ties upon which to step,
and misstep might prove fatal. And
then, besides, there were the trains.
One night In spring young Haskins
started upon his constitutional across
the trestle. He whistled as he went.
But he was not the only thing that
whistled on that warm night. He had
barely reached the middle Of the bridge
when before his startled eyes he be-
held the glaripg headlight of q loco

Chicks Killed by Heat.

A great many chicks die from be-
ing kept too warm during the night
in breeders. They get SO warm they
fairly steam, and when let out in the
morning they get chilled, and this
brings on bowel troubles. We are
certain this is true from several eX-
periences> of our own and this agrees
with what others say. On the other
hand, brooder can be kept too cool.
We believe very few take into ac-
count the temperature of chick
blood. A bunch of chicks can keep
comfortable where a man would feel
cold. When the chicks spread out on
the floor of the brooder to sleep they
are in a temperature that is just suit
ed to them. If too cold they bunch
up, and if too warm they are restless.

Preferred the HOGS.

They tell a good one on prominent real
estate man of Waurika. Some time ago he
carried prospector over on Beaver Greek
to show him certain claim. He told the
man that it was an exceptionally fine claim I;
that the land did not overflow, and that
he would sel-it to him for 81 ,O00.t The man
looked around and discovered some red
mud way up in tree and asked the real
estate man what caused that mud in the
tree tops if the land did not overflow. The
agent promptly replied that there was a
kind of hog raised over in the Chickasaw
country which used to range on the creek
and that they rubbed the mud on the trees.
The prospector took look over the land,
glanced up in the tree again, and told the
Waurika man that he wouldn't take the
claim, but that he would give him 81, 0O0
for couple of those hogs.-Kansas City

RAISE GOOD TURKEYS.
Greatep Extent Than Most POui-
trymen Suppose.

But few have any conception OF
the number of fowls consumed In
large city during Thanksgiving and
Christmas weeks. For Thanksgiv-
ing week there were sold in New
York city over $4,000 turkeys. In
former years there has been sold
fourth more than this, and as
many as 425,00O have been sold in
one week, according to the New
York Herald. This season turkeys
have been scarce, not well finished
and high in price. This is the eX-
PLANTATION for the falling off in sales.
Last year turkeys sold at from four
10 five cents per pound lower IN
price than this year. The same is
true of chickens, ducks and geese,
and even guinea fowls sell higher
than ever before. All this should
prove of advantage to the grower.
The day has about gone by for low
prices for poultry and eggs. All that
is needed now is for us to have
good quality in our poultry and eggs
for market, and they will sell well.
Now is the time to begin to plan
for living better than ever before.
Pull away from old-time methods of
poor quality market poultry and
work to have the very best. For
example, turkeys sold in the New
York market all the way from 16
cents per pound to 20 and 80 cents
per pound. Now, it did not cost one
more cent per pound to grow the
higher priced ones than the cheaper
ones. 1t is simply a question of care
ard feeding. Those who feed prop
erly and well have the finer quality
and the greater size or weight, while
those who do not feed properly and
well have the lesser weight and the
lower price. Quality controls the
market to greater extent than is
generally supposed.
1t is all very well to allow the
growing turkeys to hunt for bugs
and grasshoppers so long as they are
plentiful, but so soon as this kind of
food dwindles we must supply its
place with other food as good. for
two reasons-to give them full
food supply and to prevent them
from walking the flesh from their
bodies going about in an aimless
way in search of food they will not
find. Just as soon as the cool or
cold nights begin to lessen the sup
ply of wild food of all kinds then
we must feed the stronger. Always
see to it that they have all the good,
wholesome food they will eat at an
times. That is the way to grow
turkeys. If there are not plenty of
bugs, worms, grasshoppers, berries
and nuts for them, give them all the
corn they will eat every night and
also a good, strong feed of it in the
morning.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

A German journal tells of horse
that was cured of severe attack of
rheumatism after being badly stung
! by bees.
Italian bees are the best workers,
and they are also the worst robbers,
| if once they ever make a commence
ment in robbery.
1t is estimated that to equal one
pound of honey from clover, $4,000
heads of clover must be deprived of
nectar, and 100000 visits from bees
must be made.
The worst" thing you can do with
your honey is to send it to a commits
sion merchant who has no trade for
it, and will sacrifice the honey just
to get rid of it.
A Swiss bee journal asserts that a
colony having II frames of brood in
creased in weight from May to May
33 pounds; another of nine frames
increased only half as much.
1t is well to introduce an Italian
queen in all cross-bred colonies after
the second year, or requiem an apiary
with Italians every third or fourth
year if black bees are plenty in the
vicinity.
A Belgian bee writer says that a
number of drones and workers fresh
ly killed were laid at the entrance of
a hive at night. Nightingales came
and ate the drones, but did not touch
the workers. Is it not possible that
some other birds make the same dis
tinction?
Prof. g. DeBunge, a German scien-
fist, says that, among the hydrates of
carbon which serve as food, honey
holds an exceptional place. Of all tn =
sugary matters, honey is the only one
containing iron, and, strangely
enough, almost exactly in the same
proportion as is found in white
bread.-Midland Farmer.

Salt in POuItry Food.

Many people labor under the mis-
taken impression that no. salt should
ever be put into poultry food, simply
because highly sailed food, such as
salt fish or old picked meat, always
kills chickens. AS a matter of fact,
no living thing can get along entire
ly without salt. Chickens can always
get salt in summer by eating grass,
which absorbs a certain amount from
the soil. But in winter it is differ
ent. During cold weather all pre-
pared chicken foods, such as mushes
and boiled vegetable mashes, should
be sailed in about the same proper
ton as for human food. If this is
done, the poultry will be both health
Ter and more productive.-P Prairie
