One Reason for Failure.

poultrymen arrange to hold a coun-

comes the attendance is often poor or
the interest is slack. One cause Of this

of due notice. OF course there is al
ways a committee appointed to give
publicity. The committee leaves it to
enc man. That man allows valuable
time to pass before he begins to move
things" A few vague notices appear in
the local press. The forthcoming
facts are virtually lacking. People fail
to catch on. Those who attend COM

It takes genuine Chicken enthusi-
asm" to bear up against these disap'
pointing shows. But it is better to try
prevention rather than salve our dis
appointment. Arrange 10 hold a good
show and then give due notice in adj
vance. Allow for time in which the
statements made may soak in. Repeat
these concise facts through the state

The advantage of mixing foods for
poultry in confinement depends a good
deal upon how it is done. An excellent
method is to take some suitable meas
ure and use four quarts of bran to N
each of corr meal, middlings, oats and
ground meat. No more, of course,
should be fed at any time than the
fowls will eat up clean and, just as
their condition seems to require, the
meat should be mole or less reduced
and the grains, excepting the corn, in
creased. It is preferable, too, that it
be presented to them dry. It is not
natural for poultry to eat foods so
sticky that they are like paste, Add
ing a little salt and red pepper to the
mixture occasionally is beneficial, as is
likewise some fresh cut bone or an
equal weight of cut clover; one or the
other of the last two, in fact, should
be fed regularly once a day and also
oyster shells for grit, The best results
are obtained by feeding this mixture
alternately with whole grains every
other morning Cor. Epitomist.

HEROIC ARCTIC JOURNEY.
Performed by Relief Expedition In
Search Of Icebound Whal-
ing Vessels.

Three fine gold medals have recently
been struck at the Philadelphia mint
and forwarded to officers OF the United
States revenue cutter service for a deed
of herolsm performed during the win
ter of 1S97-9S. As It came at a time
when the United States was interested
In records of war-the achievements OF
army and navy against Spain-the ex-
plot has not received the attention 1t
deserves, but 1t Is well worth the repe-
tltion which tho Washington Post
gives it.
In November, 1897, the owners OF
whaling vessels of the Pacific fleet re-
ceived information that eight whalers
were caught by the early closing In OF
the ice-pack, and that there was dan
ger of starvation If food was moi sent
TO them at once. The president ordered
n relief expedition to be fitted out and
the cutter Bear was chosen for the
service.
The overland expedition was put on
shore at Cape Vancouver. There was a
train Of four sleds carrying supplies
and camp equipment, and drawn by Al
dogs. At the start the snow was deep
and all the party travelled on snow
shoes, while four Eskimos went ahead
to break the trail,
The storms and gales were furious,
but the little company pressed on until
they had completed tie journey of
1909 miles. The travellers did not, as
they are supposed to do, sit back on a
sled and comfortably crack a whip over
the heads Of the dogs. The men of this
outfit had not merely to walk, but to
push, haul and sometimes TO harness
themselves to the sleds.
At first the officers found the work
almost killing, but they gradually grew
accustomed to it. For half the distance
they drove a herd of nearly 500 rein
deer, a no light piece of work in it.
self. A small Lapp dog kept the deer
from straying.
The last part of the journey was
most trying and often it seemed as If
disaster must overtake them. Blizzard
followed blizzard; packs of wolves
troubled the herd, heavy SHOWS oblit-
Grated beacons and landmarks, and the
whole company suffered painfully from
the cold. At one time one section Of
the party was separated from the rest.
Food ran low and all that was left for
the dogs was n little flour soup" Tho
poor creatures became 50 ravenous that
they ate the lashings Of their sleds, and
even the clothes Of the men were not
safe from their appetites.
On March 20 the train drew up the
the Point Barrow settlement. The off,
GERS and men of the wrecked vessels
we're almost stunned at its appearance.
They had not thought It possible for
any help to reach them In the winter,
All was excitement and relief in the
camp. Their provisions were sadly
low, and sickness was prevalent. No
time was lost getting the men into new
quarters, feeding them well, and fore
ing them to keep clean. Then they
waited through long months until the
Bear could make her way to their re-
lief.
President Mckinley, in a tribute to
the brave officers who made the over
land journey, said; THE expedition is
a victory of peace the results of which
cannot well be magni1ied, and the
dauntless courage of the men stamps
them as true heroes"

Queens Who Like Plain Food

Queen Alexandra is said to be fond Of
Yorkshire pudding, and very particular
as to its proper consistency, that 1t
should be crisp and light, not tough and
heavy. Queen Victoria loved the home

In Mexico farm products bring higher prices than they do in the States and most of the things that the farmer has to buy come cheaper. Labor is very cheap and the ground contains a very high degree of fertility. Thus it will be seen that the principal disadvan- tages in farming in the United States are overcome in Mexico. Climatic conditions are very favor able to the production of most of the common products. There be- ing no extremes of heat and cold 1t makes every crop almost a cer- tainly while in the United States there are very few years pass that some product of the farm is not a failure owing to extremes of weather. The taxes on property are much lower in Mexico and the original cost of the land is very small.

They spent Wednesday here settling the matter of right of way for 50 miles through the lands ot Gov.

 Mexican Herald: At the end of the fiscal year 1S9S-1S99. the auth entic figures show that there ex- isted in the republic of Mexico 118 cotton mills with 469,5 spindles and 14,044 looms running full time. At the end of the fiscal year 1902 1903, there were 139 factories, with 632, ,60l spindles and 20,2T1 looms in full play, The material and machinery in 1902-03 have not only been increased, but they are for the most part entirely new and of the most modern and improved systems. With these improved plants, the production in Mexican factories in 1902 1908 was Ii ,5S7 / 105 millions of pieces of calicos and prints and 2,146,289 kilograms of yarns together representing $36, ,907 ,0S0 value, and 27,5l2,012 kilograms of cotton. In many Of these cotton factories the motive power is hydraulic, which makes the product very much cheaper.
