often kept their wool for consider

Elmer Sinclair, an employe of the

His head was drawn down between

The Zala M. Consolidated Mining
Company, after having closed down
the Zala M. mine near Republic, for
few weeks, has leased it for two
years to Thomas Hughes and two
brothers. The latter have started work
with five extra men, and will extract
ore for shipment.
"Smelter returns on 1925 pounds Of
Security ore gave us $774.68, or just
about 80 cents pound, practically
all in gold," said Elliott w. Beidler,
at Spokane recently. Mr.. Beidler,
who is superintendent Of the Palmer
Mountain Tunnel, operating near
LOOMS, Washington is back from Ia
coma, where he went with the ship

A miner names Rasmussen was kill

mine. The deceased got on the cage
at the 1000 foot level with two fellow
workmen. They intended to take the
machine drill to the surface and Ras-
mussen took the bar of the machine
in his arms instead of fastening it to
the side of the cage, as provided in the
regulations. The cage only went up
15 feet, when the end Of the bar caught
in the timbers of the shaft. The i'm
pact threw Rasmussen against the
timbers, killing him almost instantly.

There is more or less carting to be
done on every farm, and it is not al
ways good plan to do the Juggling and
waste more or less strength, which

easily the farm barrow, whether of the
box type, as shown, or with the faring

Inc pest remedy Tor lice in poultry
houses is~to add a pound Of concen-
trated I've to wash-boiler of soap
suds and to apply the suds hot on the
walls, floors and roofs Of the houses.
All lice, with their nits, will thus be
destroyed surely and quickly.
An excellent way to test seeds is
to place a few between two flannel
cloths, dampening the cloths with
warm water, placing them in a warm
location and keeping them moist. Some
of the seeds will terminate II kept
at an even temperature. Another meth
cd Is to plant few In cigar box fill
ed with earth.
The winter Is the time to clean up
the farm. On some farms the waste
water is thrown near the house; dead
grass and weeds accumulate, and filth
in various forms exists. Cold weather
hides many disagreeable things, for
then there are no odors, but the filth
remains, however, and decay begins
with the warm weather and spring.
Every farm needs good cleaning up
at least once a year.
Beets are always in place for pigs,
a limited quantity being very useful.
A small allowance of them will be
eaten by pigs in the raw state. They
may be cooked in kettles, and corn
meal, middlings or other grain added.
Some chopped clover hay added to this
mixture will help give it volume and
make particularly desirable porridge
for breeding stock For fattening ami
mails the hay need not be used.
If butter is a speciality ON the farm
the pigs are necessary to insure a
profit. In the winter season the feed
ing of skim milk and buttermilk to
pigs is the best and cheapest mode of
making pork. With a clover patch
for the pigs to occupy in summer and
mess of bran and buttermilk at night
they will grow rapidly without any
other food. If pigs are confined in
pens they should have the grass cut
and thrown into the pens, as they
should have some kind of bulky food.

FROM sLuMs TO THE FARMS.
Chicago Rich Men Undertake Great
work


Work.
Chicago millionaires are organizing
to promote giant philanthropic work
no less than the colonization of the
slum population Of the great Ameri-
can cities upon farms.
The Field and Workshop society Is
the corporation which has been form
ed to work out the details. e. T. Ro-
senthal. who is responsible for the
Industrial Art league, has been the
principal sponsor and creator. The
organization VIII be national. Fifty
thousand dollars will be spent in or
ganizing. When societies are organ
lied in all the cities, delegates will
meet in convention and elect trustees
to conduct the business of the society.
The embryonic organization of Chi
cago consists of an advisory board Of
1000 members.
ITS OFFICERS.
It's officers are:
John Lambert, president: Medill
Mccormick, vice president; George
Lytton, general secretary; George Dix
on, financial secretary. Many promi-
nent men figure on the advisory board.
The first move OF the new society will
be to get land from the United States
government. That is the crux of the
scheme. The land under the opera
tion of the homestead act can be Sc
cured at nominal price by settlers
remaining on it for a brief term Of
years. Having the land, the society
will make selection from families Of
the slums and move such as give prom
Use of success from the congested dis.
tricts to new settlements.
The society will locate the families
on the land, expecting the railways to
give them free transportation. The
society will take care Of the settlers
until they can support themselves, and
as the lands become productive, year.
ly payments by the settlers to the So
ciety will be expected until full set
Element is made. The scheme is to
be financed by the issuance of bonds
against the lands secured by settle
ment. Millionaires are expected to
take the bonds in $4,000 lots. The
project does not differ in purpose from
what other societies have attempted.
The difference is one Of scope.

Mules for Market.

The advantage Of mule over a
horse is he can be taught to, turn short.
er, thus preventing the breaking down
Of vegetables or other plants. He can
go In rougher places, is not affected
by heat as bad as the horse. and re-
quires less attention in the way Of
currying, rubbing, etc. His feet
being smaller, he can walk closer to
the row of growing plants.
To make good mule worth from
$50 to $50 at weaving time or $40
to $16O as a 2-year- old. he should be
foaled from large mare in April or
May. He should run with the dam
until October 1, then be weaned At
this time he should be at least So
inches. Put him in ashed with plenty
of light, and feed oats, with clover and
timothy hay. Two much corn fevers
the legs and produces scratches. The
next summer he should have access to
pasture, with little corn each day,
until cold weather, when he should be
brought back to the barn. At or 21a
years old he should be 16 hands high
fat and ready for market.
Effects Of Drainage.
By means Of drainage of land the
various chemical actions which take
place through the action of the atmos-
phere on the surface soil are carried
down to greater or less extent into
the subsoil, for as the water level is
lowered the air enters from above to
fill the cavities Of the soil. BY drain
age, also, the depth to which roots
will penetrate is increased, for the
roots will not grow In the absence of
oxygen, and rot as soon as they reach
a permanent water level

enough ptomaine poison in the stun to
kin a regiment.
According to the report Of the board
only the prompt treatment by the post

Of the men. Twenty OF the men who had
been discharged from the hospital Satur-

TURNS AGAINST PARKER.
FREQ Silver Leader In Indiana starts .
Paper Against Democrats.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. ?.--G. l.. Carter.
former candidate for Mayor OF Logans-
port, will issue the first number Of the
Reason tomorrow morning. The new
paper will be the organ OF the free silver
Democrats OF northern Indiana and will be
continued until election, if not longer.
Carter was Hearst man in the struggle
which gave this State to Parker at the
national convention. In the leading edi-
torial article tomorrow he will say that
Parker's nomination was not sc cured by
fair means and that Parker does not repre-
sent the Dem ocracy OF the county, State or
nation. He quotes literally from Bryan's
speeches to justify his opposition to Parker
and charges that the party has been turned
over to the gold bugs and that it's only
salvation lies in Parker's defeat.
sThe same reason that impelled John
Brisben Walker to hire hall in New York
In which to protest: the same reason that
inspired William Jennings Bryan to hire a
hall in Chicago to protest against the New
York platform, prompts me to start this
paper" declares Carter.
1T will not be money maker, but
don't care" he adds.
