$4,000 DAMAGE BY FIRE.
Large Amount Of Furniture Destroyed
in Blaze in Boston.

Boston. Oct. 27.-Furniture, estfmat-
Ga to be worth between $4,000 was
destroyed in a fire that burned out the
storerooms of the G. E. Osgood Co..
and Washington Credit Co., early this
morning. The storerooms were sit,
uated on the fifth and sixth floors OF
the block 7S6-790 Washington street.
near the corner of Bennett street.
Fearing that the blaze would extend
to other properly, three alarms were
sounded bringing nearly every piece
of apparatus in the city proper to the
scene. The fire was quickly drowned
out, although 1t had sufficient start to
cause heavy loss.
The Kelley Clothing Co. which was
situated on the street floor OF the
building suffered considerable loss by
smoke and water.

Make the Hen Work.

The thing to be desired Is to make
the hens hunt and dig continually for
food SO they may have plenty Of exer-
else. 1t is exercise they need and must
have or they will not lay, says the
Feather. There must be dry floor to
your henhouse, and this floor. whether
ground or board, must be covered with
six or eight inches of loose dry earth
or sand. Cover this with dry straw a
foot deep and throw all Of the grain that
the fowls get during the winter months
into this and make them dig and hunt
for it. No matter If they do make a
dust; all the better, for this fine dust
flying about will be a protection
against all insect life that may be In
the house, and when you see the dust
flying you can feel assured that the
floor is dry and the hens are busy
Small grain, such as broken corn
wheat. oats, barley, millet seed and
buckwheat, Is the best for them, as Il
keeps them working longer to get
enough.

BELGIAN POULTRY.
Work Of Societies In Pronoting the

Work Of Societies In Promoting the
Belgium exports annually from nine
to ten millions Of eggs and about one
hundred and forty thousand to one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars
worth Of poultry. The breeding Of farm
poultry has made great progress In
Belgium since breeders have under
stood that 1t IL to their interest to
practice in the poultry industry the ma

In 1896 the eight agricultural socie-
ties then in existence were amalga-
mated and the National Federation Of
Belgian Agricultural Societies was
formed. Today there are thirty-two at.
6liated societies and clubs, aggregating
over 1000 members. The aim Of the
federation is to encourage breeding In
the several branches Of agriculture and
especially to develop and increase the
production Of the different national
breeds and to introduce foreign varie-
ties for breeding purposes.

whole oats For Fowls.

AS standby there is no grain to
compare with whole oats for laying
hens. 1t keeps them healthy and in
good laying condition and never pro
duces an over amount Of fat. In buy
Ing oats, though, we should be careful
not to get the light, chaffy kinds, but
buy the heaviest that can be found
One special advantage in feeding oats
is that you need never worry about the
quantity given. 1t is only necessary
as with all other grain. to scatter it in
litter or straw. so that the hens will
have to scratch for it. 1t is also neces
sary to keep an extra supply Of grit
convenient, as the hens will require
more than when fed on other kinds

Old Timer Disappears.

Two weeks ago last Sunday was
the last seen of Gerhart Behrens.
The first intimation of his disap-
pearance was the appearance Of
his pet cats at Thorpe & Toler's
camp in search of food. Suspect
ing that something was wrong, par
ties went to investigate. No trace
of the man could be found, and it
is presumed that he had been strick-
en- while away from his home and
been covered over by the snow
which had lately fallen to depth OF
eighteen inches, and will not be
found until the snow disappears.
Behrens was "A years of age and
one of the oldest settlers in the
Warrens district, having gone there
in the rush that doomed that camp
forty years ago. So far as known
he had been out but once in all
those years, and that was two years
ago when he went to Portland to
undergo surgical operation.
During these years Behrens has
lived by himself at his cabin in
Secesh meadows, where he owned
and worked placer claim. He
was so eccentric that no one would
work for him, and he would not
allow a stranger to spend a night
in his cabin. He was of German
decent, with no known relatives in
this country, and was well known
throughout this section. Meadows

Hest Grains For Poultry.

No grains that we have for the feed
ing Of poultry are more valuable as an
egg producing food than wheat and
hulled oats. These two grains, with a
little cracked corn and some millet seed
mixed in. make an excellent scratching
grain food for the laying hens. 1t may
better be mixed in the proportion Of
one-third wheat, one-third hulled oats,
the other third one-half each of
cracked corn and millet seed. This
mixture is right for poultry that are
comfortably housed and protected from
the cold weather and the elements.
Where they are not properly housed
the proportion Of corn should be In
creased. as corn is heating food and
furnishes warmth to the fowls.-Feath-

Mr.. Parisot returning at once to
his labors in the Hump. "Things
have been running along smoothly
at the mine this winter" said Mr..
Parisot "Although we have been
considerably retarded in our opera
tions by shortage of water which
only allowed the working OF one
battery of five stamps. This will
soon be obviated as the snow is
melting fast and the water will
soon be running enabling us to
work our mill to full capacity"
Mr.. Parisot brought with him
the lasts months cleanup which is
understood to hit closely to the
$4,000 mark.

Just bonded the Spokane mine on
which they expect to do consider
able work this season.
The Cracker Jack mill has been
in operation nearly two weeks
with five stamps dropping which
will be increased to ten as soon as
water is available for battery pur-
poses. The returns 30 far more
than meet with with their COM
pany's expectations and good re-
cord is anticipated from this prop
erty during the coming summer.

unwieldY hippopotamus.

'In the channels which traverse the
marshes of certain districts in Central
Africa" writes a traveller, "hippopo-
tami in incredible numbers are met
with-sometimes in herds of GO and
20. Wherever the channel widens out
into a reedy lake rows of grotesque
looking heads, with ears erect, appear
above the water surface. their owners
studying the extraordinary apparition
produced by the steamer. On ap-
preaching the spot these heads disap-
pear one after the other under water,
and a series of waves and large rip
ples indicate the passage of the mon
ster forms below the surface. After a
few minutes time the same huge
heads appear, generally downstream
of the boat. They have another stare
and again disappear, with a snort and
the expulsion Of a small volume OF
water from the nostrils. Net infre-
quently a severe bump is felt in the
steamer, making the hull culver, as
the back of hippopotamus seeking
to escape has touched it.
"If the water should happen to be
shallow the attempts of these animals
to hide themselves are ludicrous. as
their movements are clumsy and their
anger and fear evident. In such cases
their heads and the foreparts of their
bodies are under water and nothing
is seen but the huge pink hindquarters,
struggling, kicking and churning up
the water in the effort to get cut OF
sight. Although their uncouth antics
may be safely watched from steamer,
it is very different matter If the
observer is in canoe. or small boat.
Then his position is one of consider
able danger, as he stands very good
chance of being upset.
"As the water of all these channels
swarms with crocodiles such a cen
tingency is not pleasant to contem-
plate. The natives are fully alive to
this risk, and never venture in their
dugout canoes into the broad streams
infested with hippopotami, but invari-
ably keep to the shallow and narrow
branches on either side of the main
river."-Chicago News.

Orange and Rhubarb Marmalade.

Wash three pounds of tender pink
skinned rhubarb and cut in pieces two
inches in length. Put three pounds Of
oranges in the preserving kettle with
plenty of cold water to cover, and
simmer three hours Drain and cut
in four pieces. Put six pounds of
granulated sugar in the kettle with
just enough water to prevent sticking.
and stir until dissolved and boiling.
Add the oranges and rhubarb, stir un.
til boiling, then move to the edge of
the fire and cook gently fifteen or
twenty minutes. Turn into glasses,
but do not cover until cold. While the
food value of these sweets is not spe.
cially high, they satisfy the natural
craving, while at the same time their
judicious use may be made to help out
the butter supply which, next to meat,
is the greatest expense for the family
of limited means.
