Use Bedding Abundantlx.

Cold weather is coming and animals
where confined in stables or pens will
need more bedding, says American Gull
tivator. 1t will pay to keep them abun-
dainty supplied, as this is not only
for the comfort of the animals, but for
the value of the manure heap. With
plenty of manure and other things in
proportion there is hardly limit to the
productive capacity of the soil; at least
it is seldom reached. Every farmer
realizes the necessity of having more
manure, and one way to secure 1t is by
providing an abundant supply of abb
sorbing material. Even If there ap-
pears to be a large proportion of this
material in the manure, making it
strawy and coarse, it can be plowed
under and will answer an excellent pur-
pose, as there is need of more humus
I'm most of our soils.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
HOW to nan sheen PeIts.

A competent furrier gives the fell
lowing simple process for tanning the
sheep pelts, says National Stockman.
This process may be used for tanning
any other fur skin. Wash the pelt
well in warm water with soapsuds un-
til the wool is thoroughly cleansed
Rinse it well. Soak it for one day in
a solution of alum and salt, using eight
ounces of each in enough water to
cover the pelt. Strain we'll and stretch
on board. When the pelt is half dry
sprinkle the flesh side of the pelt with
equal parts of pulverized alum and
salt. Fold together and let it remain
indoors for week, turning it twice a
day to get the alum and saltpeter
equally upon all parts of the skin sur
face. When well dried rub the flesh
surface well with pumice stone. This
will make the skin substance soft and
white. This completes the tanning
process.

A HOT FIRE.
(Tracy Herald)


Tracy had a hot little fire Mon
day night, but it was hot only a
short time after our fire laddies got
after it. About nine o'clock the
whole interior of Miss Perry's mill
merry parlors broke out in flames as
if by spontaneous combustion, and
in few minutes later the front
opened up and gave vent to blazes
that shot high into the air, and
threatened all neighboring prop
erty. Before the fire was under
control the millinery stock was
totally destroyed and the building
was badly damaged. The Peterson
market building and Neil Finch S
store room were also badly scorched.
The millinery stock and fixtures
were insured for $1,000 and this
will about cover the loss. The
building, owned by the Jessup es-
tate, carried 5000 policy, which is
hardly enough to cover the loss.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is thought that it started with
she blowing out of damper in the
air tight stove. Miss Perry informs
US that she will re-occupy the place
as soon as it is put in repair and
that everything will be frst-class
and up to date. She will be better
prepared than ever to cater to the
wants of her many customers.

The great value Of salt for sheep was
shown in some recent experiments
made in France. Three lots of sheep
food, except that one lot had no salt,
a second lot had one-half ounce per
head every day, and the third lot three
fourths per day. Those receiving one
half ounce per day did the best, gaining
four and one-half pounds more than
those that received three-fourths ounce.
All the sheep receiving salt made 1874
pounds more wool and had a better
fleece than those which had none.

In test with various egg preserva-
tives at the Ontario station the two
leading successful substances were
limewater and glasswater solution.
Eggs put up in nmewater scored Al
out of possible 80, and those in
water glass In proportion of one part
to seven of water scored 1872 out of a
possible 80 The addition of salt to
the limewater failed to secure as good
results as the limewater alone, and
creased eggs put up in salt were not
equal to the others mentioned.

Rabbi Voorsanger delivered a sermon,

the 72d Psalm. He made the senti-
ments expressed therein regarding the
attributes that constitute a wise mon

pie. The rabbi held that the mate

can be made permanent if the attri-
butes of righteousness and justice are
inculcated into the rising generations
of Americans.

Report of Presence of the

CRITICIZES STATEMENT
Marine Hospital Service Is
Taken to Task by Head of
the Department of Health

HAVANA, Nov. 20.-'We challenge
the United States marine hospital service
to point out. as alleged, that several
cases of yellow fever have appeared in
various parts OF Cuba" was the re-
eponse of DR.. Carlos FinIay. chief Of
the department Of health and santa
ton. when shown a dispatch from
Washington to-day assigning that as
reason for the instructions Of the
United States to Minister SQuiers to
call the attention of the Cuban Govern
ment to the unsanitary conditions at
Santiago and elsewhere in the island
and his prompt and thorough remedy OF
these conditions.
DR.. F1nlay. who has a high reputa-
tion as a yellow fever expert, asserted
that there was not single case Of that
disease In Cuba. 1t was an impossible
ity, he added. that half a dozen marine
hospital inspectors should have discov-
cred cases which the thoroughly or
ganized health department of Cuba had
failed TO discover, and more than i'm
probable that they should know Of such
cases and yet fail to call the attention
of the Cuban department to them
DR.. Finlay reiterated that the only
case originating in Cuba-mOre than
three years ago-was that Of the Amer
lean, Scott Fuller at Punta de Sal,
which was extremely light and Of ques-
tionable authenticity. Suspicion at
tached also to Fuller's attendant. but
the disease had not developed. Health
officers at all Cuban ports treat all
fever symptoms in arrivals from Cartb-
bean and South American ports as sus-
picious, and also all others that are in
the least questionable. These are In
variably detained and isolated until
they die or are cured.

FOR The SICK
Novel Scheme for the Bene-

by Southern Pacific Road

Company Will Furnish Cara

and Others Through Texas
Special Dispatch to III. can


AUSTIN, Tex. Nov. 24.-The expert
ment of establishing open air sanitar-
iums on a large scale is to be tried
in the healthful, semi-arid region of
West Texas. under the auspices of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. The novel
plan is to be followed by the estab-
lishment of caravans for health and
pleasure-seekers who will carry with
them full and complete camp equip
ment. These nomads will use their own
pleasure. guided largely, however. by
the advice and discretion of the physi-
clans and attendants who will accom-
pany them. in moving about from
place to place.
The railroad will provide a supply
of good horses and wagons and the rec
reation and health seekers may rove
over the country in true cowboy style
The temporary tent cities will provide
shelter for those who prefer periods of
rest.
There are scores of cases Of persons
having been cured of various ailments
Ol lAlC OOOys lung IIOuDiS,
by coming to West Texas and leading
an oDen-air life on the ranches This
is Just what the Southern Pacific pro-
poses to encourage and direct on a
large scale. All the camp equipage,
horses, food supplies, physicians and
in fact everything needed will be pro-
vided by the railroad and the traveller
will be charged only a nominal sum to
hel2 pay for the expenses of conduct
ing the open air sanitariums
This project is in the personal charge
Of John T. Patrick, who is looking after
the industrial development of Texas
along the line of the Southern Pacific.
Patrick's headquarters are now at
Houston. He is busy making arrange
ments for the Inauguration of the
novel enterprise. He says that the
first caravan will probably be started
out early in January. The party to
make the initial trip has already been
made up. 1t will be headed by DR.. J.
J. Kindred of Long Island, n. Y, pres
ident of the River Crest Sanitarium.
DR.. Kindred is greatly interested in the
open air sanitarium idea and he be-
lieves that the new venture of the
Southern Pacific will prove a great sue
