may have done us harm in the way of
shaking public confidence. but on the
other hand If We had succeeded in our
attempt upon Lord Cranthorpe's lreuse.
or If / had not failed in my Jubilee
scheme, or lubbock in his Ishmael
club programme, l believe that our
finances would have been as fiourishing
as ever. But we haven't much time to
spare this morning, and the immedi-
ate question before us is, How are we
to retrieve our position?' One big
blow at the authorities will turn the
tide in our favor again and bring the
coin in. But this time we mustn't fail.
and 1t seems to me that the only way
to insure success is to back more
horses than one. | have a plan for
bringing Off four different events ON
the same evening. One or more may
TAU through, but if we have four run
ming, we are bound to get home with
at least one. If we should be so lucky
as to bring off two or three, we shall
Fave all the more reason to congratu-
late ourselves, for every extra score
VIII mean extra coin in the way OF
subscriptions. But if only one out OF
the lot proves a winner, we shall at
least feel, and shall make the public
feel, that we have done something for
our money. Here's my scheme. l have
enough dynamite still in hand to effect
four big explosions. There is enough
really for twice that number, but 1
want the explosion to be the sort of
thing to set all London rafting, and
propose to double the quantity of the
stun. The next question is, What
shall we blow up?' Well. my idea is
that we have a so at New Scotland
yard and three of the prisons, Hollo-
way. NewSate and Pentonville. l pro-
pose doing the business in this way.
The Internal machines will be rather
heavy, and not at all convenient things
to cart about London; SO | vote that
we engage a private brougsam for the
evening. One of us will have to be
driver. and each of the other four will
have TO be answerable for an internal
machine, and for placing it where It
can do the greatest amount OF damage
to the building which has been as

Green Bones for Pon,,r

Green bones provide not only phos-
pilates and nitrogen, but also lime for
the shells OF the eggs; hence, oyster
shells are not the only source from
which to procure lime. Ordinary bone
contains from six to seven per cent. of
carbonate of lime, from so to 65 per
cent. OF phosphate of lime, and from 90
to 30 per cent. of organic matter, with
proportions of magnesia, etc. Fresh
green bones also contain, besides the
lime compounds. some proteins, or
fiesh-formers. which add to their value
as poultry-food. The best mode Of pre-
pairing them is to have them cut with a
bone-cutter.-Farm and Fireside.

modate as many fowls as should be kept
In each pen.
The partitions between the pens should
be tight and of boards two and one-half
feet high with wire netting above. A
house of this length should be divided
by two solid partitions to prevent drafts.
These partitions should likewise extend
through the alley, the doors being hung
on double action hinges. Nests should
be located under the platform and open
into the pens and alley SO that eggs can
be gathered without going into each
pen.
The house may be built in any way
to suit the owners fancy and pocket
book. The most durable house, of
course, would be set on a brick or
stone foundation, and be constructed of
spruce timber and sheathed both inside
and outside of studding. The front wall
should be five or six feet between the
studs and rear wall six feet to provide
head room in the alley. The roof may
be shingled or covered with any of the
best grades of asphalt felt roofing. The
floor may be of earth or earth raised
several inches above the surrounding
surface. The cost of a house OF this
kind Will vary from $3.50 to SO per run
ming foot, depending upon manner OF
construction, cost of material and la
Dor. Twenty hens or pullets are enough
for each pen.

CAPITAL FOR POULTRY.
some Reasons Why beginners Should
start In Small Way and Build
Up Gradually.

When one has had no experience be
should begin with the lowest EXPENSE
and at the least risk. If the capital is
small 1t Is better to rent for year or
two rather than to buy, for the reason
that III one buys he reduces his work
Ing capital, and should he be unsuccess-
full he must stay on the farm until he
can sell it. If he rents he can return the
farm to the owner and leave. II il
claimed, however, that IL one BUYS he
can begin and get everything ready for
permanent stay, which is true. but
that is just what an Inexperienced per-
son should not do. He should start in
small way and make his capital by in
creasing his flocks every year. and by
the time he has large number of fowls
he will know much more than when he
began. He can then take his fowls to a
purchased farm and feel that he has
made good beginning. That is one
point In favor Of poultry-the making
OF capital. No one should expect too
much for the first two years. Allow five
years, begin with but little capital, let
the fowls increase, and in five years one
may not have made much money for his
pocket, but If he will figure up what he
has done he will find that he is consider
ably richer, and has saved his capital
instead OF taking the risk of losing 1t all
at once. Nothing on a farm pays as
much as poultry, II rightly managed, but
there is no quicker way to lose money
with poultry if one does not know what
he is doing-Rural World

the concluding and final session of the
most harmonious and enthusiastic, as
well as the largest convention that

]. w. Freeman, of Cascade, pre-
sented the name of the Honorable
Theodore Brantly, the present incum'
lent. Mr.. Freeman spoke OF the
grand victory won by the gentleman
at a time when the republican ticket
was found to have cut a small figure
as the votes were counted. In addi-
tion to this, he had filed the exalted
cf1ce held by him in an able and con.
scientious manner.
Some of the counties had no candi-
dates. while other seconded the nomi-
nation of one or the other OF the two
candidates. In some instances the
support was as a whole and in others
by individual delegates.
When Silver Bow was reached
George M. Bourquin made one of the
most earnest and forcible speeches
heard during the day, in which he said
tn t in behalf of a portion OF his dele
cation he seconded the nomination OF
Colonel Sanders. OF the many high
tributes paid that day one was
higher than that accorded the "old
war horse" by the impassioned young
orator, who appealed to the conven-
ton to honor the man he called the
father Of the republican party in
Montana. The history OF republican
ism in the state could not be read
without continually e~ncountering the
name of Wilbur F. Sanders.
The vote proved a disappointment
to the colonel's friends, as he re-
ceived 1874 votes as against 265 for
Brantley.
Colonel Sanders was not in the hall
and the Lewis and Clarke delegation
moved that the nomination OF Bran.-
ley be made unanimous. There a
no opposition.
Athey BY A~ccIamation.
Nominations for clerk of the SUI.
preme court were nex in order. Only
one nomination was made. Cascade
named John F. Athey. When Silver
Bow was reached it moved to sus-
pend the rules and make it unani-
nous. The motion prevailed.
IL Yoder for Secretary.
For secretary of state Beaverhead
yielded to Lewis and Clarke and Colo
mel Sanders nominated Louis Rotwitt,
who once before held that Office.
When the colonel's own county vas
reached he found himself opposed.
The name of Thomas B. Miller was
presented by e. D. Weed of the
Lewis and Clarke delegation.
George w. Irwin, in a speech highly
characteristic of the speaker, said
that it was as natural for Lewis and
Clarke to be divided as it was for
water to run down hill. In this in.
stance both sides were wrong. He
proposed to name a man who, if
nominated, would add strength to the
ticket as no other man could. With
a few more highly complimentary re-
marks Mr.. Irwin then nominated
Abraham N. Yoder, of Butte.
This closed the nominations and
the roll call of counties was called.
The vote resulted as follows:
Miller, 159; Yoder, 240; Rotwitt, so.
On motion of the Lewis and Clarke
delegation the nomination was made
unanimous.
At this juncture a recess was taken
until Z o'clock.
