Clean Up.

Keep the poultry house clean now;
the entire seasons success mgr depend
upon it. Clean out the droppings,
whitewash the walls and perches, and
sprinkle lime over the floor. This
should be done several times during
the season, and as the sultry nights
come, look we'll to the ventilation. Kill
the mites, clean the house, give good
ventilation, and permit the fowls to
live at home in comfort and health,
both winter and summer. That is the
better plan.

Commence, as in washing, with the

place an old handkerchief or q piece

moderately hot iron. When partially
dry remove the covering, iron the SILK
with the bars iron, and in the case

one side and then OH the other to pro-
duce a gloss. If the silk SHOULD feel
In the least stiff or hard, shake 1t out,
rub it between the hands and iron
again. When finished 1t should be as
smooth and as soft as when new.
Some silks, such as ribbons anu
corded silks, are better kept covered
nil the time, as the iron gives them
4 glaze which is not suitable; dlscre-
ion must be used in this matter.
When ironing b~right-colored silks put q

ironing sheet to prevent its being
stained.

Sale of Express Packages.

From all over Arizona uncalled
for Wells Fargo packages are
coming into Bisbee. The object
of delivery of these goods to the
Bisbee office is preparation for
the sale that will be made of
them about the last of the month,
in accordance with the express
company rule which provides for
the sale of uncalled for packages
once a year.
This year Wells-Fargo selected
Bisbee as the point for the sale.
The fact carries significance,
iuasmuch as the company would
to a certainty pick the Invest town
in the territory in it's esteem as
the place for disposition of the
stock. The exact date of the
sale has not yet been fixed, but
1t Will probably begin on the
Goth.
The element of gamble is stong
in these auctions. The buyer
risks his or her money on the
package as it may be judged
from the exterior. In more than
one instance a sorry looking
package has yielded the purchas-
er hundreds and even thousands
of dollars in excess of a modest
purchase price. -Bisbee Review.

considering the matter of extending its

The advantages that would accrue to
Canon City from having the Rock Is

II would result in its being made a
common point. which would put US on
the same footing as Denver, Colorado

While still matter Of some uncer-
tainty there are strong reasons for be-
lieving that the Rock Island will build
road from Colorado Springs to Canon
0ity with the object OF still further ex-
plotting the coal fieids OF the upper
Arkansas valley. II may not be done
this year. but Il will hardly be delayed
longer than 1905, as there are exeigen-
cies which demand its construction at
the earliest date compatible with sound
business policy. That such n road
would pay a rair rate of interest on the
Investment goes without saying, nnd
its Indirect value to the Rock Island
system would be many times the cost
