Hicks For June.

The first storm period in June
is central on the 4th, covering the
2nd to the 9th. There are good
reasons to expect the crisis of
this period on and touching the
3rd. High degrees of humidity,
high temperature, and very low
barometer, on and next to Wednes
day, the Bird, will prove certain
harbingers of sevel e storms. If
these conditions develop about
the 3rd, and actual storms are
delayed, even up to the 5th or 9th
do not be thrown off your guard
until the indications eliminate.
Venus downpours of rain,
amounting to cloudburst in many
localities, are also more than prob
able. You can depend upon it,
the storms of this period will not
be entirely over until the barome-
ter makes a decided rise, and the
winds change and blow strong
and much cooler from the west
and north. Some very cool nights
are sure to result when the
storms are over.
On and touching the 9th and
10th, look for reaction to storm
conditions--change to much
warmer, falling barometer and
more storms of rain, thunder,
and heavy squalls of wind.
The regular summer solstice
disturbances will set in at this
time, making June thunder show
ers probable almost any after
noon or evening. From about the
Sth to 18th each year, the Earth
passes a point in its orbit at which
abnormal electrical changes are
infused into our globe and atmos-
phere.
The regular storm period COW
ering the 14th to the 10Th, will
reach it's eliminating stages
about Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, the 18th, 18th and 10Th.
The storm diagram shows that
the summer solstlce is in full
force at this time. Many cleo
trical storms will be most natural
with some energetic and danger
Gus wind storms. Watch the
clouds, your barometer and 9th
er indicatlons-have safe refuge
available in case of manifest dan
ger, and all will be well. Put
away foolish torebodings and GO
about your business. Make care,
full plans to avoid June showers,
especially in your hay-making at
this time. On and touching the
21st and 22nd, look for the return
of storm conditions, with renew.
ed thunder and rain squalls, and
much harmless lightning at
night.
About the 25th it will turn ex
ceedingly warm, the barometer
will fall and persistent cloudiness
and frequent storms of WIDE ex
tent and much energy will mark
the closing days of the month.

The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days the blood mus

size loses two pounds of wOrnOut
cut tissue. This waste cannot be re-
plenished and the health and strength
kept up without perfect digestion.
When the stomach and digestive or
gans fail to perform their functions,
the strength lets down, health gives
way, and disease sets up, hodol Dys-
pepsia cure enables the stomach and
digestive organs to digest and assimi-
late all of the wholesome food that
may be eaten INTO the kind of blood
that rebuilds the tissues and protects
the health and strength of mind and

pepsia and all stomach troubles. 1t

POULTRY POINTERS.

Everything in the poultry house
should be dry.
Ducks will not thrive ON sloppy food
nor on cOrnmeal alone.
Boiled potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables may be fed to ducks to ad-
vantage.
A good food for fattening fowls can
be made by mixing cornmeal with
mashed potatoes and milk.
In dry picking poultry the picking
must be done while the fowl is warm
as soon as possible after the fowl is
killed.
The nests should never be fastened to
the poultry house in such Way that
they cannot be readily removed and
cleaned.
Fowls are very fond of raw vegeta-
bles. Beets, carrots, turnips and espe-
cially cabbage may be fed to advan-
tage. The best plan is to chop them
fine.
A dressed fowl may be made to look
plump by dipping it for ten seconds in
water that is nearly boiling hot and
then holding it until chilled in cold
water.

Man is the best friend Of the dog.
Horses come next, but between the dog
and all other farm animals, from the
house cat to the COW and the beef steer,
there seems to be natural enmity
Dogs, however, are fond of sheep and
goats but as diet, not as living friends
Cows and sheep and goats should be
kept as free from association with dogs
as is possible. with the exception of the
trained shepherd dog. a dog walking
through a cOwpen will often cause a
decrease in milk flow that amounts ia
more than the cash value Of the dog
Many dogs are worth considerably less
than nothing.

For Good Loads.

The movement for good roads is
assuming mammoth proportions. The
idea is popular. 1t is being discussed
al. over the United States, and it
will be a go one of these lays. The
time will come when an automobile
can be run from New York to San
Francisco, when you can go all the
way from Kalispell to Chicago in a
buggy without having to carry a rail
along to pry the wheels out of mud
holes. There should be and will be
national aid for the construction of
good roads, and states, counties.
cities and towns will eXpend the
money raised by road tax for the
construction of permanent highways
instead Of the nuisances we now call
roads. The Spokesman-Review of
Spokane has a word or two on roads !:
The good roads movement will
probably be given another lift the
last of this month. when an interna-
tiOnal convention for the promotion
of better highways will meet at st.
Louis. A number of prominent men
will address the convention, among
them President Roosevelt, and it is
quite certain that the results will be
beneficial to this important cause.
Nearly every state in the union is
talking about good roads, and doing
something to secure them. It is a
good thing. therefore, to keep the IN
terest alive while the public is in the
mood, and to agitate until work upon
| a system of permanent highways has
been successfully lnaugurated. There
l.; a great deal to be done in this line
| and it is wise to try to impress the
| people with the necessity of these
great improvements. Every conven,
ton, therefore. large or small, helps
along the movement
| There is reason to believe that the
next few years will witness re-
markable development in the way OF
good roads throughout the country
The richer and older states of the
east have taken hold of the work
with a will, and already marked
the country districts. In Massachu
sets, New York and New Jersey be-
ginings have been made on fine sys
TENS of public highways, and the
legislature of Pennsylvania has just
passed bill that appropriates Sc,
100000 for road Improvement in the
state during the next six years. This
been planned on large scale. The
people Of the smaller states may not
be able to duplicate these great op
erations, but they can do much in
a more modest way. and in course OF
time secure the good roads that are
iMperativeiy needed.

English to Be Universal,

Sir Chen-tung, the new Chinese
minister at Washington, was edu
Gated in the Uniteu States and, there
fore, may be somewhat prejudiced
ir favor of the English language. But
for all that, his conclusion that it is
to be the worlds tongue is supported
by indisputable facts. 1T is the lam
guage of commerce." he said, land
nearly all business For this rea-
son he holds that a knowledge of
English is sufficient for diplomacy.
The expansion of commerce of
English speaking peoples has been
followed by the use of the language
in all parts of the world, and by the
introduction of the study of English
in the common schools of the coun-
tries of Europe. For many years
past and for many to come, the
United States has been and will be
the point of destination of vast ma
jority of the emigrants leaving Eu-
rope. 1t is quite natural that intend
ing emigrants should appreciate the
advantages of having some know
ledge of the language of the country
in which they expect to settle sooner
o, later. Hence the study of Eng
lish is becoming more common in the
schools in Europe.
But for it's absurd spelling, the
English language would be easy to
acquire, and even thus, it is less
complicated and confusing than any
other language in use by consider
able NUMBER of people. 1t is force
full, comprehensive and the words of
such individuality that they are cas-
lily memorized. 1t is the language of
commerce because the people who
use it are the foremost traders Of
the world, and because it is better
adapted to business than any other
The Chinese minister brought with
him number Of young Chinese boys,
who will be put in the schools of
the United States, and Sir Chen-tung
says there is no use of their study
ing German, French or any other
language than English. He foresees
the time when China will put on the
ways of modern civilization and life,
and realizes that in that day the
methods and customs and convent
cnces of the English speaking peo-
Piles will be adopted. Hence his de-
cision to educate the young men in
English.

THE TRUE VAMPIRE.
At Experience With the Blood Suck
ing Animal In India.

CHANGING one evening to observe q
rather large bat enter an clubhouse from
which there was no other egress than
ing able to procure light and thus tc
proceed to the capture of the animal
Upon finding itself pursued it took
three or four turns around the apart
ment, when down dropped what at the
moment l supposed to be it's young and
which l deposited in my handkerchief
After somewhat tedious chase the,
secured the object of my pursuit, which
proved to be fine female megaderma
l then looked to the other bat which
had picked up and to my considerable
surprise found it to be a small kind of
pipistrelle, which is exceedingly abun-
dant throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss Of blood, which it was
evident the megaderma had been suck
ing from large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear. and
the very obviously suctorial form of
the mouth of the megaderma was itself
sufficient to hint the strong probability
of such being the case During the
very short time that elapsed before l
entered the clubhouse it did not appear
that the depredator had once alighted,
and l am satisfied that it sucked the
vital fluid from its victim as it flew,
having probably seized it on the wing,
and that it was seeking a quiet nook
where it might devour the body at
leisure.
kept both animals separate till next
morning, when, procuring a convenient
cage, first put in the megaderma, and
after observing it for some time
placed the pipistrelle with it. No soon
er was the latter perceived than the
other fastened upon it with the ferocity
of tiger, again Selling it behind the
ear, and made several efforts to fly off
with it; but, finding it must needs stay
within the precincts Of the cage, it soon
hung by the hind legs to one side Of it's
prison and after sucking it's victim till
no more blood was left commenced de-
vouring it and soon left nothing but the
head and some portions of the limbs
