Denver, July 19.-The ways and

GRAFTON Of Miners has appealed to the
Red Cross society to take charge Of
the distribution Of funds and the gen.
eral relief work for families Of the
deported miners in the Cripple Creek

after having deported from their
homes the husbands and fathers
they now refuse to allow relief in the
way Of food and clothing to be issued
to the wives and children unless it be

thorities.

WET WEATHER POULTRY

It would seem that ducklings would
thrive in wet weather, but they don't.
Even the water fowls thrive better if
there is some sunshine. It's great
deal more so with chicks. Health and
growth do not go partners with damp,
sour crops and continuous cloudy. cool
weather. When we come to think Of
it, sunshine is necessary to all life.
whether animal OIL vegetable. There is
something about sunshine that is very
different from other kinds Of heat. /
have noticed this in poultry raising for
long time, live stock men notice it,
the florists in the green houses perhaps
more fully appreciate it.
While it is impossible to stop The
rain or make the sunshine. it is not
impossible to clean ont the coops. to
hoist them up out Of the mud and Kill
off the parasites. put in some dry
chaff Or something Of that nature and
give the chicks some chance for their
existence. We can go still further and
thin uTt the lunches Of them, piled
ND here and there in corners. Every
thing goes TO show that the trouble OF
bad luck attending raising chicks is
mostly with ourselves. More care
would mean greater success.-M. NJ.

RATIONs FOR FOWLS.

One of the most successful farmer
poultrymen in the country says that he
allows his laying hens to balance their
own rations That is. he furnishes
them with the different kinds of
grains, cut bones grit and animal food
in the proper quantities, each sepa-
rated from the other and permits them
to eat as they will. In this way, it
is claimed, each fowls instinct will
teach it TO eat Of the grain that its
system demands.
There may be good objections to
this plan. but it is advocated here as
compromise for those who are not
inclined to 90 to the trouble of bal
ancing the rations for the hens. The
main point in this method is not to
give the hens, in the several ingre-
dlents composing the rations. more,
in all. than they will likely eat clean.
The plan is well worth trying, for it
can do no harm il care is taken not to
permit the birds to ovcrfeed.-1ndian-

POULTRY NOTES.

!, Give the chicks fine grit with ii!eir
first food. They must get their first
teeth early in life.
Never trust 10 luck in your poultry
yard. Have system and live up to it
at ali seasons of the year.
Don't let ducks and geese stay where
young chicks are kept. The two will
never thrive in the same yards.
Too many eggs under q setting hen
will always result in poor hatches.
Better have too few than too many.
Brooder chicks never have gapes,
which proves that filth gathered from
the yards is the cause of the trouble.
Don't blame the breed if Your hens
do not lay. If your methods are wrong
the hens need pity rather than GEN.
sure.
The early Latched pullcts make the
best layers. even the following year, so
try to have them hatched during Feb
ruary and March.
After the first week little chicks will
stand the cold weather all right if
they have Il warm dry place to run
WHEN they prefer.
Chickens must never be allowed to
get wet. Dew is fatal to them, and
thny should never be allowed out dur

Keep cnly ono pure breed Of fowls
and try to=improve thai each year.

A. Remarkable Confession.

Seldom has more remarkable coz
lession been made in public by a rep
;resentative man that was uttered by
Sir Norman Lockyer, President of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, which met on Sep
tember 9, at Southport, England. Re
calling Captain .Mahan's demonstra-
ton Of the influence of sea power on
history, Sir Norman pointed out that
'Englishmen were keenly alive to the
Importance of their navy, and that
they had but little to fear from a hos
tile combination of maritime states.
The danger that confronted them, he
said, lay in different quarter, anu
arose from a grave though corriglble
deficiency. Englishmen were threat
ened, he believed. with eventual custer
from the markets of the world, be-
cause of the superior energy displayed
by their commercial rivals in the ap-
plication OF intellect to industry. What
England stood in increasing need of,
by comparison with Germany and the
United States, was not sea power, but
brain power There was, of course, no
lack of native ability in Great Brit
ain, but it was not applied with the
requisite sagacity and yigor through
scientific channels to the develop
ment Of manufactures and trade. The
educational system of Great Britain is
relatively antiquated and inadequate,
because the facilities provided Tor
scientific research are not commensu-
rate with the nations necessities. This
Sir Norman proceeded to prove by 2
citation of significant statistics. He
reminded his countrymen that In
Great Britain there were but eleven
universities which had to compete
with twenty-five universities in Ger
many, and with no fewer than one
hundred and thirty-four state-sup-
ported OF privately endowed universe
ties of the United States. Attention
was directed to the fact that the Prus-
sian government gives to a single in
strument of the higher education, the
University of Berlin, more money than
the British government allows to all
the universities and univers;ty-colleges
in England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales put together. = Harper's

Fought With Bear in Street.

Assistant Postmaster E. r. Dobbins
of Holidaysburg, Pa, tells an almost
incredible story of his being attacked
on Allegheny street by ferocious
wild bear, but his clothing bears mute
evidence to the truthfulness Of his
tale. Mr.. Dobbins was on his way to
the Office at o'clock to prepare the
malls for the early train when the
animal suddenly approached him on its
hind legs, placing its paws on his
breast and pushing him TO the ground.
He managed By fierce struggle to
free himself from the animals en-
brace and regain his feet. He then
drew a revolver and fired several
shots, the animal retreating. Mr.. Dob
bins heavy raincoat and trousers were
torn in several places by the paws of
the infuriated beast.

CARE OF FIELDS.

Fields that are left in stubble,. or that
are covered with weeds, cannot now be
benefited by cultivation, as the seeds
of the weeds have already been scat
tered, but as SOON as the frost does its
work, and the weeds arc dry, rake over
the fields with 4 horse rake and burn
all the refuse. Dead weeds form har-
boring places for field mice and in
sects, and during windy days, after
the weeds are thoroughly dry, they are
blown to other fields. BY burning all
refuse there will be fewer weeds
turned under next spring.
