There are advantages accrulng even
from bald heads. 1t is pointed out by
a writer in medical journal that bald
headed men never suffer from con-
sumption and that a tendency to bald
ness is an assurance that the dreaded
scourge will pass over him whose
thatch grows thin.
At first glance 1t would seem absurd
to argue that a mans hair is indica-
tive of his immunity from disease, but
the writer who advances this novel
theory declares that in the five years
during which he seriously added n rec
ord Of his patients hair or lack Of 1t
his case cards have failed to show a
single instance of bald" being entered
upon the card OF consumptive.
He had under treatment more than
700 cases and he makes the further
statement that in a census of more
than 5000 tuberculosis cases he failed
to discover single sufferer who was
bald.
He makes no effort to explain his
, theory upon medical grounds. but sim
ply offers the results of his observa-
tons for the benefit of the profession
and has invited his brother physicians
to write him of any case of bald
headed consumptive coming under
their observation

Valuable for Dairymen.

Much more space Is necessary prop-
erly and Understandings to describe
the necessary combinations of food to
make a properly balanced ration, than
the average paper can give to the SUBJ
ject. The Department of Agriculture
at Washington has issued some very
good bulletins and some very poor
ones. Decidedly one of the best Is
farmers bulletin No. %, which covers
the subject of feeding farm animals
quite extensively. 1t not only gives
tables Of balanced rations, but the
analyses Of different combinations and
their diGestibility. Write to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, Washington, D..
c., for a copy of this bulletin. 1t will
save you money If you will follow its
teachings. Better send for it now so
as to try and raise some of the crops
which will furnish the valuable protein
30 necessary in a balanced ration.

HARD LOT OF THE SEAMAN.
why British Sailors Are Becoming
Fewer Every Year Explained.

! Among the many matters that are
troubling Englishmen Is the practical
disappearance of the native British sea-
man and the increase of foreign sailors
on British ships. Perceval Gibbons
throws some light on the cause. de
says: 1.-The life Is not worth living.
| The whole truth of the affair Is in
the fact The rates at which cargo
must be carried requires that the mere
food eaten shall be OF the lowest and
cheapest quality. The Board of Trade
regulates the quantity and insures a
certain variety, but q speak from ex-
perience) this Tvails nothing to make
the fare ordinarily palatable. Its sta
pie is biscuit, calt beef and salt pork.
Meals are eaten in the forecastle,
where a table or a bench Is a rarity,
and the men must find their own
plates, knives, forks and other equip
ment. The ship only gives the food
and the bare hunks.
THE wage of a sailor Is always
small. Taking recent years l think q
fair average of the monthly wage from
home ports would be sic. 1t means
that no sailor can bring up a family
or keep a wife, and 1t certainly means
that no man can hope to save enough
to insure some provision for his old
age. AS a matter of fact, l never met
a seaman who attempted to- The mon

sible with the aching discomfort AMI
barrenness Of life at sea. The man
has no appetite for delicacies. When
his term Of bitter hardship Is at an
end he Graves for the strong meats Of
ruinous dissipation and, the money
gone, he has no option but to ship
again as soon as possible and earn
some more.
I'm 1896 l shipped in Philadelphia as
able seaman aboard a wooden full
rugged ship. There were seven able
seamen besides myself, four ordinary
seamen and a boy. We had a fearful
passage Of 176 days, during which we
lost four A. BIS and the boy. Dur
ing thirty days off the Horn all hands
were called twenty-five times; we ran
short of water and food and when We
loosed the halyards in Sacramento Bay
we were too done up to lower away
and let the yards come crashing down
on to the caps. 1t was about as hard
a passage as a ships company ever ex-
perienced
Next day we were paid off. Ny
wages were $12, and were the best Of
those received by the able seamen. The
ordinary seamen drew under $40. The
boarding masters in sanity Philadel-
phia had eaten us up. and within a
week most of Us were at sea again I
was ashore only eight days. and then
had to give note for two months pay
in order to get on ship"

Care of Poultry Yard,

Where fowls are confined in rather
close quarters during the summer II
Is a good plan to arrange so that the
poultry yard can be cleaned or else
divided in two or more sections 50
that one can be renovated while the

Practical Cow Stall.

The great principle that makes this
stall a practical success is the fencing
OF the COW back to the ditch, says e..
G. Eckert, in Pacific Homestead. The
fence A A A is put on either side of
the post to suit the length of the cow,
or for short COW can be moved TO-

which, on to the three by three stud

The road will come into Florence

expects to see the north side built up

invest money in other channels In q

project is not the only one that he is
working on. A fair ground will be
established about half way between
the two points and he has a friend
now ON the ground who came from
California who will establish . plant
for raising fancy thoroughbred horses.
This, he says. is only one Of the many
things that Is bound to follow the in
PRODUCTION of an interurban street car
service In this county.
He cited instances where other
towns hesitAsed in granting franchises
and when the system was built they
were the most satisfied people on
earth.
The people Of Canon City, it seems.
are as much worried about the coal

combating for 1t but Mr.. Granger
says that he will not tolerate any dis
