SELLING LATE CHICKS.

Late-hatched chicks are sold when
ever they reach five pounds per pair.
The main point N their management
is to keep them growing. They must
be fed separately from the adults,
and should not be crowded. or they
will not grow. The best food is buck.

Is not obtainable. use whole wheat
Do not feed too much in the morning.
but let them seek their food on the
range. At night give them a mess OF
cut meat and bone, with a second
ration OF wheat, and If they are kept
free from lice they will thrive and
grow rapidly.

HOW INDIANS CATCH FISH.
FfIny Prey First Put to Sleep WITH
Devils Shoestring."

DevtPs ShoestrIn9."
On the LIST Of July the Indians will
have near Sonora big fish killing,
which is considered great sport by
them. Already a supply of devils
shoestring'' is being gathered for this
purpose. This is the root Of certain
bush, and owing to the fact that these
roots go SO deep, in so many direc-
tions, it is considered quite a task to
get sufficient for use at a fish shoot.
On this particular occasion 1t Is
said that $500 bundles Of devils
shoestring" will be used. The Indians
select portion or hole of water in
the river, and some of them will beat
up this root and throw 1t in the water.
This is repeated by another party OF
Indians considerable distance from
the first party, and the water be-
comes impregnated with the juice,
and the effect on whatever fish may
be in this particular place is marvel
Gus. They become sick and float
on the surface of the water. and then
the shooting begins. The Indians
shoot them with bows and arrows and
spear them. After a sufficient guam
tity Of fish have been gathered in.
they repair to the hills and banks
The cleaning is done by the squaws,
and after they are cooked the feast
begins. While the fish are sickened
and stunned by the juices from the
root. the msat is not affected.-Kan'

RARBERRY JELLY.

A delicious jelly, which Is in high
repute with English people and fami-
lies of English descent in this coun-
try, is made of barberries. The bar
berry is a rather. seedy fruit for pre-
serves, but it is sometimes put up, as
currants are, with a pound of raisins
to every five pounds of itself and a
pound of sugar to pound of the
whole. The barberry should be pick
ed late, after it has been touched with
the frost, and the fruit is deep, dark
crimson. The demand for the fruit Is
so limited that it seldom sells for
more than ten cents a quart, so 1t
must be classed among our inexpen-
sive preserving fruits.

HANDLING COARSE FoDDAa.

Each and every farmer should have
a good feed cutter for sllo filling and
for chatting feed. BY running all corn
stalks through the machine, they give
better returns when fed. and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in
good form for bedding and the manure
heap. Long corn stalks are a nui
sance in the feeding manger, worth,
less for bedding, and troublesome In
the manure pile. Difficulty is found
in a few cases in feeding cut corn.
stalks as the cows refuse to eat them.
In many cases the sharp ends of the
cornstalks, when cut certain lengths,
injure the mouth of the cows. Where
they are not well eaten the cause Ia
often due to overlooking, or endeav
oring to have the COW live on too limit
ed a variety Of foods. By keeping
the managers clean and feeding "a
cut fodder with care, very little will
be left over, and that only the coars-
est part. Where different varieties OF
corn are raised more of the cut stalks
are eaten than if fed uncut under the
same conditions. Less waste Is
found in feeding cut fodder as the
animals eat the butts readily, but re-
ject them when fed without being cut.
All stock relish it when they become
used to t, as well as hay or other
.hoppe5 foods.-Otto Irwin in the Ep-

"At this station we have the best

A NOBLE WOMAN COME.


The recent death of Sister Martha
Postler, of the Order of St. John, re-
moves a striking figure from the ranks
of the worlds women. Born A years
ago, in humble little parsonage on
the Russian-German frontier, she
showed as a girl very noteworthy tai
ents in the literary line. She con
tributed freely to journals and maya
zines, and began to acquire a fine
reputation. She determined, however,
to devote her, life to the more imme
date and practical needs of suffer
ing world. Having conceived a
strange affection for China and the
Chinese, the people, their customs,
their religion and their literature, she
removed to HongRong, where she
established a mission school for blind
Chinese girls. She began with five,
but when, after eight years of hard
and unremitting work, she left for a
vacation to her native land. she had
so far advanced the interests of her
school that it possessed building OF
It's own and numbered 40 pupils. The
drain upon her time and energy was
severe, and she gladly sacrificed to
the work her fine talent for writing
AS if by instinct, she returned to her
native German city this year, and.
after a lingering illness, caused by
overwork, she died. Her last work
was entitled "a Chinese New Years
Flower" which she sent to her sister
in 1903. Her last words were these:
Remember me kindly to all, and say
to them: I was happy in my life and
die peacefully"
THE CHAPERON IN THE WEST.
All unmarried females of means and
position are chaperoned here. Age
doesn't matter. There are spinsters
that's enough. No tender maid Of
thirteen goes unattended in California
No single woman of any age goes tc
the theatre alone with man, and as
for buggy riding" the custom is un.
known. No girl goes to restaurant
for lunch with youth she has known
from the cradle. 1t would not be cor.
rect, and it would not be entirely cor.
rect, either, for her to get another
girl. No; she must have the chaperon
the tried and seasoned veteran of
matrimony-or else the proprieties
will be split up the back.
The ardor with which the cult of
the chaperon has been taken up in
the West should make the thoughtful
pause. AT the rate we're going at

WE CAN'T EAT CELERY NOW.
fDiet-vegetable Said to Carry Typhoid Germs.

Now the physicians are said to have forbidden another relish nearly as pop- ular a oysters at this time, says the Washington Star. Celery has come under the ban of the doctors, who say that 1t is equally we'll adapted to trans hitting the poisonous elements of tho soil and carrying the germs of typhoid. fhe disease can be acquired only by Introducing the microbes into the sys- tenn in food or drink. and for that req son advice against certain kinds of food Is always likely to be regarded. But to what extent this may be carried is well understood by the proprietor of one hotel, who has seen oysters during the past three weeks disappear almost entirely from the orders of his guests. Some weeks ago a well-known man died sf typhoid fever. He had lived at a large hotel, and the report went about that he had got his illness there. What ever you do, don't eat oysters at that hotel" was the advice that one friend was giving another, based on the belief that this man had died of disease con- tracted in the hotel dining-room, where the chances were immensely in favor or his having got the fever somewhere else.
 If they keep on there will be nothing left for us to eat except fish and frit- ters, and tho latter will probably be cut oil soon and pills substituted.

THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng land, Says It Is the Eating of
 Deoomposing Fish.

The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of England, after a study of leprosy as it appears in various parts of the world, is that the disease is caused wholly by eating decomposing or imperfect. ly cured fish. The London Times is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin. sons idea. It is held that in all countries and in all ages leprosy has been and is still due to the consumption of "high" fish. The preference for fish in a tainted condition is an "acquired taste" and it is claimed that it prevails among a sufficient number of peo- pie to account for the dreadful dis. ease wherever it exists. Leprosy was nearly general in England and on the continent in the six teenth century, and it is claimed still prevails in many fishing sta tions, especially in Norway, Ice. land and Tracadie. It is repre-. sented that at these places there is still a preference for fish in a tainted condition. It is noted, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that in regions where leprosy was formerly common, it has disap- peared with the advancement of agriculture and the discarding of fish for food. In India vegetari. ans are free from it, but the fish. eaters are much troubled. Dr. Hansen, of Bergen, discovered that persons having leprosy carry in their tissue a bacillus resem. bling that of tuberculosis. and the disease is thought to be a mod. ification of tuberculosis, caused by specific virus developed in de- eaying fish. The scientists, espe. cially those whose direction is in the medical line, are always mak- ing it harder to get along in the world; but it is probably better to give heed to their theories, even if there may be nothing in them, for 1t may happen that little care in the selection of the dried fish we eat may(add a few years to life; and it is the general agreement that life is none too long at best.
