EIectrocution,

The present failure of electrocutio1
is causing considerable comment. Diff
ferent convicts require a differen,
number of volts to produce the same
results. One convict received 1,75(
volts and recovered, and then he re
ceived 1900 volts without fatal eff
feet. Recently a condemned man re
ceived a shock of 1,70O volts, which
was continued for thirty seconds

he was declared dead. The explana
ton made was that the criminal was
very thin and his body was a poor
conductor, and also that his hair was
thick and oily. 1t has been suggested
by physicians who have witnessed
these executions that very many
criminals who have been electrocuted
might be restored if proper efforts
were made Immediately. The sure
death in any case is believed to be
due to the post-mortem examinat tion
shock.

They are all right when they come

take lame and die in day Or two.
They seem to be weak in the legs and
the feet of some become twisted and
slightly swelled. I keep them in a
house with board floor and feed them
on corn meal. Can you prescribe a
remedy?
The trouble is the board floor. 1t is
impossible to successfully raise chick
ems on board floor. The sooner
chickens get to the earth the better.
Cornmeal alone is about the worst
thing that can be given to chickens,
particularly uncooked.

Ihe Country Press.

Only one who looks over the state
press can form any adequate idea of the
amount of effort put forth by the local
press in each community for the up
building and betterment in all direc-
tons. The paper in some cases may not
be much as q newspaper and still less as
an organ of public opinion. But as an
advocate of every enterprise tending to
the growth and prosperity of its town, it
is at its post and interchangeable.
The metropolitan dailies are easily OBJ
talnable for all who wish them and they
give the news of the world. But local
business and interests depend for voice
on the local papers. These local papers
give Importance to the community, give
1t individuality and common interest.
To this part of public service the local
paper must assiduously devote itself to
merit place
TO do this some things are necessary.
The people about must take the paper,
for no paper can be conducted without
readers. 1t must not be left to struggle
In desperation against hope and debt.
The subscribers must pay, each his little
bill, that the paper may meet it's obliga-
tions in business way and know what
its real means are.-Ex.
