A Good Market.

It might be well to see the hotel
keepers in your nearest town about
furnishing them with eggs and poultry.
There is hardly town in which there
is not one or more hotels which would
be glad to take eggs and poultry at an
advance on the market price, because
the freshness of the eggs and the quail
ity of the poultry would not worry
them if they could know where they
came from-Commercia Poultry.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1903-10-08

Most of the failures in trying to oper-
ate poultry farms have been brought
about by trying to keep too many fowls
at first. Begin on small scale and
work up to your limit. You may be sur
prised to find how few you can keep at
profit, and you may find that you
were born to be poultry man. Trying
1t is the only way to get at She truth.

extension of the barn roof is the eco
nomical way to cover the silo when the
gable to the barn is high enough to in

made a great mistake by making
breadth instead of height, getting the
right capacity, but exposing too much
surface to feed from and for ensilage
to spoil over before beginning to feed.

He says: To weatherboard & silo 20

Tendency OF the Times.


The tendency Of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought Of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one Of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip), and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency Of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with inn
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis.
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.

The Eastern Star Masquerade.

The Ladies of the Order of Eastern
Star gave a Masquerade ball at the opera
house last Friday night which proved to
be a grand success in every detail. So
cially it was the dance of the season.
Beere's orchestra of Deadwood furnished
the music and it goes without saying that
it was all that could be desired. A large
number Of maskers we're in attendance,
enjoying themselves and furnishing
amusement for about two hundred spec
tators until eleven o'clock when the
prizes were awarded, followed immedi-
ately by q general unmasking.
Miss Edith Feay won the lady's first
prize, a handsome Japanese pin tray.
Her costume represented a pink rose
and was a beautiful and perfect repre-
sentation of the flower named. Mr..
Gene Courtney disguised as a scrub
woman carried off the lady's second
prize, a folding mirror. We must CON
fess, though, that it was Genes energy
and muscle that won the prize and not
his mop"
Mr.. Jos. Kidwell, as George Washing
ton, won the gentleman's first prize, a
Black Hills Souvenir book, and Mr.. Kid
well certainly did credit to our immor-
tai George" Mr.. Fred Beardshear as
Uncle Reuben just arrived from the
country, was deserving of the gentle
mans second prize, a rubber doll, which
he gave to his little boy Johnnie. Mr..
S. G. Lummis, one of h ejudges, present
ed the prizes with appropriate remarks.
An excellent supper which was appre-
ciated by all was served on the stage.
After paying all expenses the net pro-
ceeds were found to be eighty Eve dol
lars a sum highly pleasing to the ladies
as it enables them to complete the pay
ments on their new piano which was
lately placed in the Masonic hall.
The ladies wish to thank all those who
so kindly and generously helped them
in their arrangements for the ball for
without such assistance they feel they
could not have brought it to so success

We learn that two artesian wells have
been ordered put down by the national
irrigation commission, n Of these is at
Smithville west Of the Cheyenne river
and the other at Buffalo Gap in Custer
county. Being somewhat familiar with
the geology and the laws governing the
flow of water, we would give it as our
opinion that the well at Smithville should
be q success and the other a failure. Our
reason for saying this ia, that it is too
near the Hills, where the intrusion Of
vertical granite dykes coming up through
the fat formation, cuts off the flow and
stops the pressure Of water from the
high land on the west.
