"The average state militiaman is no

Gillian Miners Powerful.

Perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance on mems backs are
the loads of ore brought up from the
mines Of the Andes by the miners Of
Chilli. Darwin visited a copper mine
in ravine leading from the main
range of the COrdilleras, where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that, though the mines had
been worked in the mountains for at
least two centuries the water was re
moved in some by carrying it up snafts
in leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head. when visiting 4
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, a YER
teal climb of 45O feet, by the miners.
and that the average weight carried
was 250 pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair, but up
notched trunks of trees, set almost up
right, one touching another.
The food of the Gillian miner, ac-
cording to Darwin. consisted of ra-
tons of sixteen figs and two small
lOaves OF bread for breakfast; for din
ner boiled beans, for supper wheat
crushed and roasted They scarcely
ever tasted meat.

Ratproof Corncrib.

A correspondent asks how a corn
crib may be constructed so as to be
proof against rats We give reply to
this by the cut of crib in this column.
The crib may be built cheaply, and of
any size desired. The cut fully ex-
plains the construction. 1t is set either
on wooden posts or brick foundations,
put IL inches in the ground as shown
in the cut and to 21a feet from the
ground TO the crib sils Two-thirds
of the distance from ground to the
sill are galvanized iron hoods, project
ing out and downward around the
foundation posts 4 inches in width.
Rats can never pass over this hood
which they would have to do to reach
the crib. Such crib is absolutely
proof against rats. 1t is constructed
of inch-lumber, open for air to reach
the corn, but with faring sides for

Speed horses are always trained
down before they enter races. Foot
ball players train and diet for months,
in order that they may be In prime OF
condition; that their muscles may be
hard and their endurance extended
but how many farm horses there are
that are not even given a thought
about conditioning before entering the
heavy harvest and fall work, says
Farm Review. Where horses are work
ed more or less continuously there
should be no trouble whatever In
bringing them into good condition and
keeping them there. but with those
that are turned to grass the problem
is not 80 easy. Grass is good for
horses, but when turned on, and this
accompanied by feeding at random,
with a little work now and then, will
not get or keep a horse in condition.
If on grass the horse, if he works
more or less. should be given his grain
feed regularly. In any case pains
should be taken to have the horse
hardened and in condition by the time
hard work begins. If such is the case
both man and beast will enjoy the
harvest more than if the horse is poor
and soft

Poultry Pickings.

Poultry Btcktuge.
A good scratcher means a good lay
er.
Pullets do not fatten as readily as
hens
The poultry house should not open
TO the north or east.
Build the poultry house so that it
can readily be cleaned.
The perches should be not more than
two feet from the ground
Success does not depend 50 much on
breed as on care and attention.
Young fowls need crushed bone in
some form to develop good blood, bone
and feathers.
The poultry should be given the cab
bage leaves. apple parings and all
other vegetable refuse from the kit
chen.
One way Of preventing hens from
eating their eggs is to make nests in
small, low, dark holes. to be entered
from the sides.
Rusty iron kept in their drinking
water is said to be an excellent remedy
for loOseness of feathers in fowls.
A fat perch is best because Of being
more comfortable to the feet and best
support 10 the breast when the fowl
is sitting down.
Successful poultry farms are usual

starting in or near a live city, and
improved from year to year.
Unless hen is extra valuable as
mother she should not be kept after
her second season Of laying, which will
make her two and one-half years old.

Turpentlne for Corn.

| have used kerosene on seed corn.
have also used turpentine for many
years on all of my seed corn. We
usually use a pan or dipper to fill our
planter boxes and in each dipper we
use turpentine freely, stirring the corn
with the hand until all the corn is
wet with turpentine. We like turpen-
tine best. as 1t evaporates about as
fast as the planter boxes are filed. 1t
prevents worms or grubs from eating
corn on soddy land. You can also use
freely on your seed beans as soon as
you see indication of weevils, either IN
spring, fall or winter. 1t will kill all
of them. Don't be afraid to use plenty
of turpentine-try a few kernels of
good, sound seed corn by saturating
and planting same-testing vitality
after treatment-so as to satisfy your
self.-H. II. Kelley, Indiana, in Farm
ers' Voice.

We Are Eating More Mutton.

More mutton is being consumed in
this country than ever before in its
history This is because there are
more people in the country and be-
cause the mutton is of better quality
The deduction which the situation
seems to warrant is that the man who
engages in sheep breeding in the right
way and stays with it is practically
sure Of making good money. AS time
goes on it becomes more and more ap-
parent that mutton and lamb are fash
ionable meats among the American
people.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1904-12-31

The more active the breed the less
liability to fatten.
The poultry may be source Of
considerable income or an intolerable
nuisance, according to the way they
are managed and the treatment they
receive.
A sure remedy for scaly legs in
fowls is three parts Of sweet oil to
one Of powdered sulphur. Oil the legs
with this, repeating in ten days or
two weeks.
If you wish to keep eggs for any
length Of time store in cool, dry
place and turn them half over every
other day. Unfertilized eggs keep
best. BY packing in dry salt and stor-
ing in a dark, dry, cool place they can
be kept for some time for cooking pur-
poses.

CHAPTER XXI-Continued.

The clash finally came. The boats
came together like 80 many battering
rams. Curses arose loud over the
calm waters. The boats surged back
and forth like living animals. The
grim dark forms of the fishermen
writhed and contested with each other
like serpents Of the sea.
Back you gillnettersl You des-
tIoyeIs Of the ishl" shouted the north
siders.
AWAY with you, you trappersl
You cause our families to starved" re-
piled the men from the southside,
with bitter oaths.
The resistance on the part of the
nOrthsiders was short lived. The over
whelming numbers against them soon
began to tell. By sheer force they
we've driven toward their traps. The
prows OF the southsiders' boats were
against theirs, and they were swept
along like driftwood before a huge
raft.
The red in the east was making
things more visible on the water. 1t
was easy to see that the northsiders
were losing ground at every point.
But suddenly volley of shots rang out
down the liver. Another followed.
The curses of the fishermen rose above
these.
"The soldiers!2" shouted the north
siders.
Course upon tie head of Gabe
Jarvil" shouted the southsiders.
Then the steamer carrying the
militia appeared dividing the contest
ing fishermen like chaff. They fired
volleys occasionally above the heads of
the retreating belligerents in oider to
hasten their departure.
"Bangl" rang out rifle shot from
Tetreating party to the south.
lake that" exclaimed murder
GUS looking southsider as the smoke
cleared from the muzzle Of his gun.
Old Seadog fell back into the arms
of his sons. The bullet had found its
mark.
"Take this!" said another south
slider as he raised his rife to his
shoulder. "You have betrayed us,
CODE Jarvi, and you shall pay the
penalty"
Don't shoot, fool, it is womanl"
exclaimed a man as he seized the muz-
zle of the would-be assassin's gun.
1t was Dan Lapham. He had been
overpowered and taken a prisoner. AS
he grabbed the southsider's gun it dis
charged. Lapham looked in the direc-
ton the bullet had gone and saw in
the pilot house of the steamboat which
had come TO their rescue the form OF
Sankala
The girl was pale as death, but she
chung to the wheel in a spirit of des-
peration, and the boat continued upon
its course, ploughing through the craft
of the contending fishermen, the south
siders retreating with all possible
speed.

The window may be placed in the

door may open into the scratching

The Poultry House.

There is more or less objection to the
scratching shed on the part of poul-
try raisers and it is admitted that in
sections where the fowls can have con-
siderable time out Of doors during
the winter. this shed may not be nee
essary. But when the birds are raised
in localities where there is consider
able snow on the ground during the
winter the scratching shed is certain
ly comfort, for it gives the birds a
place in which they may scratch with
out being exposed to wind and wet.
An ideal house is one that is four
feet in the rear, eight feet high i'll
front. with house ten feet wide and
Sfteen feet deep and a shed attached

"She promised after long persuasion

door CAUSED the pleasure seekers 10
look in the direction. The soldiers
commenced to applaud. and continued
until the house fairly shook. Dan
Lapham and Sankals had just entered.
Sankala was very pale. She was
dressed very plainly but neatly, and
carried her left arm in strip of white
elk which pended from her neck. The
soldiers hocked about her and were
profuse with congratulations.
Excuse me, there is Sankala, our
brave little heroine" said Captain

grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ap-
proach of the commander. Captain
Budlong was full of praise for the girl,
inquired about her wounded ann and
was very attentive.
"May have the next waltz after
this one-pardon me Mr.. Lapham!"
said the captain turning to sankaIa's
,scort after making the request of her.
"Dan doesn't waltz" replied San
kala
Then may have this one-I will
be careful with the arm?" said the
captain for the music was just sarting
up and the dancers were beginning.
"Certainly," replied Sankala as Dan
nodded his approval.
When the waltz was over Captain
Budlong escorted Sankala to a seat
near Hazel Seadog Sankala spoke to
Hazel but the latter took no notice of
her. Captain Budlong saw it but
thought Hazel did not hear Sankala
speak.
81 have just had nice dance with
our little heroine" renal ked the cap
tain. "Don you think she is pretty
and good?"
'She is only one of our employees
and do not recognize her as social
equal" replied Hazel with all the Sea-
dog venom expressed in her voice and
eyes.
Captain Budlong looked sharply at
his companion. His first lieutenant
relieved Sankala's embarrassment by
leading her to another portion of the
room. Dan Lapham was engaging a
number Of fishermen at another por-
tion of the house by telling them of
the result of the peace commissions
labOrs.
The dance continued until nearly
midnight without farther incident when
a messenger rushed in, almost out of
breath, and announced that Old Sea-
dog was dying.
"Ringwold, too, has collapsed and
is at the house of Seadog," said the
bearer of bad news.
Captain Budlong hurried away with
Hazel and Dan and Sankala followed.

in May This is involving the rights of 1000
whites who have ntermarried with Cherokee Indians
and are fighting right to share in the tribal lands
and moneys Of the nation, the same footing as 1u
blood Indian
According to the old Cherokee law, when white man
married into the tribe he adopted at the same tme
the marriage giving him that right To secure marriage
license however, he had to petition signed by
ten Indians and pay to the clerk fee Of So which went
to the nation The fublood Indians have always con-
tended that this gave the adopted citizens right only
TO the protection of the Of the nation and the pry
ege to live among them and did not entite them to any
land or money held by the tribe in common to be d;str
