CONCRETE HENHoUSES.
They Solve the Problem of EGGS in
Winter and Sound, UnfrOsted
Combs in the Spring.

A western poultry keeper, E. w.
Geer, of st. Francois county, Mo-,
has solved the problem of eggs in
winter, and sound, unfrosted combs
in the spring. He has done it in a
very simple and inexpensive way.
At the same time he has insured fer
tile eggs in midwinter, something or
dinarily very hard to obtain. He has
accomplished this by means of con-
crete poultry houses that are free
from dampness in the most rainy sea-
sons, and as warm inside in the cold
est days as a cellar.
In constructing the house, an ele-
vation is thrown up foot or more
above the surface. In this elevation
the stone base for the walls is laid.

What splendid type Of tireless activity is
The sun as the psalmist describes 1t issuing
like "a brio egroom from his chamber and re-
1oicing like strong man to run race
Every man ought to rise in the morning re-
freshed by slumber. and renewed by rest,
eager for the struggle of the day. But now
rarely this is so. Most people rise SILL un-
refreshed, and dreading the strain OF the
DAVIS labors. The cause of this is deficient
vitality and behind this lies deficient sup
ply of pure, rich blood, and an inadequate
nourtshment Of the body. There is noJhlng
that will give man strength and energy, as
will DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t does this by increasing the quantity OF the
blood supply. This nourishes the nerves,
feeds the brain. builds up enfeeb1ed organs,
and gives that sense Of strength and power
which makes the struggle of life joy. The
good feeling which follows the use OF Gold
en- Medical Discovery is not due to st1mula-
ton as it contains no alcohol, whiskey OF
other intoxicants 1t does not brace up the
body, but builds it up into condition OF
sound health.

a CHRISTMAS PRAYER.

We ofttimes speak of gifts on Christmas
day
There is one gift for which l fain would
pray;
l ask for heart that is pure as snow,
Ever ready to hear and feel another's woe.
Give me mind that's free from selfish
gain;
A heart which yearns to soothe another
pain;
Longing to sympathize with every grief,
And to do all I can to give relief.
o. my Father, give me this boon, 1 pray,
Before another year has passed away;
Far better than riches and costly gem,
Is the song, peace on earth good will tc
men,"

stopping the Little Leaks.

There must be some way of stopping
the little leaks in the family pocket
book, if farming is to be successful,
and poultry and eggs to take to town
are just the right thing to stop that
leak. If the egg and chicken money
pays all the living expenses, money
from the sale of other produce can be
used to great advantage somewhere
else. Poultry brings in returns all the
time, every week in the year, just as
the family need them. Many cases
might be cited where farmers wives
have paid all the living expenses of
large families simply by the poultry
sales.-Commercial Poultry

Who are the Eight Thousand 2
[By w. W. Smith, A. NJ, LII. d.

The second edition of who's Who
in America (from the press of A. N.
Marquis & Co., Chicago contains L.
300 pages of brief biographies, with.
out eulogy, criticism or comment, ct
such persons now living in America as
have become noted as factors in the
progress and achievement of the age.
'Endeavor has been made" say the
editors, = to include all Americans of
more tina local note in all lines of use
fol effort.'' No name is inserted or
omitted for final cial consideration
the book is sold on its merits
With a view to determining what
effect education of the various grades
has had On success in life, effort W
made to ascertain the school training
of each of these men and women ''of
more than local note'' and 1852 on
their United States list were thus
e1ucationally classified.
Accoding to the best estimate We
can make from the latest census re-
turns there are in the U. s. 40. 1872, 007
p srsons over 81 years old. These ue
divided educationally about as fo'-
lows:
Glass l. Without school training 1885,. .4es
Glass with only common school
Glass 3. With common and high
school training .......,.. 2.165 357
CLASS 4. 1tn college or higher
n.ti I
Now the questian is. how many of
the eight thousand distinguished
citizens of the United States on the
Who's Who list came from each OF
these classes.
The 1855, ,498 Of class l furnished ...... 81
The 81, ,S6l.001 of class 2 furnished ....,. sOs
The 4,l65,357 Of class furnished ....... 1,2 Is
The l,O71 ,a0l OF class furnished ....... 5,76s
Il thus appears
1st. That an uneducated child has
one chance in $50, 900 Of attaining dis
tinction as factor in the progress of
the age.
I'd. That common school training
education will increase bis chanc,
nearly four times.
3rd. That high school training will
increase the chance of the common
school boy twenty-three times. Civ
log him eighty-seven times the chance
of the uneducated.
4th. That a college education in
crease the chance of the high school
boy nine times, giving him two hund-
red and nineteen times the chance of
the common school boy and more
than eight hundred times the chance
of the unframed.
1t is surprising fact that of Z 1852
''notables" thus gathered. 4,S10 proved
to be full graduates of colleges.
From the nature of the case it can
not be claimed that these figures are
exact, but they are based upon the
most reliable government statistics and
the necessary estimates have been
made with care. 1t is also doubtless
true that other circumstances contrib
uted to the success of these college
+rsined men, but after all reasonable
all ,wances are made the figures still
,urce the conclusion that the more
school training the child has the great
er his chances of distin ction will be.

1t is learned this afternoon that a change

organization of the general stan, only.
however. as they affect the three general
officers to be included in the membership of
that body. The original plan was that
Major General Young should be chief of
staff and that Major General Corbin and
Brigadier General Tasker II. Bliss should
be his chief assistants. This plan will be
carried out so far as Generals Young and
Corbin are concerned. but General William
H. Carter will be assigned to the staff m
stead OF General Bliss. and the last named
ofncer will be made president of the army
college board in place of General Young.
The orders for Gen. Carter to proceed to
the Philippines for field duty will be
Cancelled and some other general officer will
be sent in his stead
Gen. Young will succeed Gen. Miles as
lieutenant general on the latter's retire
ment in August next. but his tenure of that
office will be short. as he retires for age
himself in January next. Unless there is a
change in present plans, Gen. Chaffee will
then succeed to the lieutenant generalcy,
and Gen. Corbin will become chief of staff
without changing his present rank OF ma

WILL BE INVESTIGATED.
Killing of Farmer Berry and His Sons
bv Cattlemen

Acting Commissioner Fimple of the gen
eral land office has directed an inspector
of his office to make an investigation into
the killing of Farmer Berry and his sons
by the employees of the Dewar Cattle Com
pany in northern Kansas. The Berrys We're
shot, it is reported, in a battle with cow
boys over the cutting of wire fences on the
Dewar range. 1t is alleged that the fences
were Illegally erected government land,
and that the Berrys, who were homestead
ers. were endeavoring to get through to
town, and cut the fence as they supposed
they had a legal right to do in claiming a
legal right of way
The officials of the general land Office
know nothing of the status of the case at
present. not having been informed whether
or not the fences of the Dewar company
We're on public land or not. The inspector
has been sent because it is usual in such
cases to make an investigation, Mr. FfmpIe
said this morning, and would report such
facts as might be used in criminal prosecu-
ton to the district attorney for the judicial
district in which the matter will be heard

Ravages of the Coddling Moth.

Mr.. c. B. Simpson of the division of cn-
tomology of the Department of Agriculture
has prepared a pamphlet on the control of
the coddling moth, which has been published
as farmers bulletin, No III, of the depart
ment series. According to Mr.. Simpson, if
Injurious insects We're classified according
to the monetary loss caused by them, the
coddling moth would undoubtedly rank first
among insects injurious to fruits, as 1t
causes more loss than all other fruit insects
combined. 1t has been estimated that from
one-fourth to one-half of the apple crop of
the United States Is either totally ruined
or materially injured by it. In many large
areas this insect would cause a total loss
if it were allowed TO take its natural course.
BY the use of the best measures of control
the larger part of this loss could be pre-
vented, many apple growers in badly in
tested regions are saving from 50 to IS per
cent of their fruit each year.
