Killed IN Montana.

DR.. Coventry, formerly of Deadwood,
but for the past few years a resident oi
Livingston, Montana, accidentally shot
and killed his wife at a ranch twenty
four miles from Livingston on Monday
last while hunting. The particulars OF
the shooting, as reported to the Lead

cinity Of Taylor's ranch and had been
killing chickens. Coventry and Kenny
had started back to the ranch house and
saw the bushes moving. Kenny said
that there were no cattle in that neigh.
borhood and both fired. A ball from a
22-calibre long, rife struck the kettle,
and glancing struck limb then entered
the breast of Mrs. Coventry, penetrating
her heart Shot from the shotgun went
high, striking her in the face and ear.
Death was instantaneous. Coventry is

Hicks for September.

The last storm disturbances in August
promises to reach into the first day of
September. Earth's equinox is in force,
the Mercury disturbance extends up 10
the 5th and the moon ia on the celestial
equator and in perigree on the lst. On
and touching Friday the lst no reader
need be surprised to hear of crisis in
the elsments-rain, wind and thunder,
with equinoctisl tempests in the south
coast regions very probable. The dis
turbances at this time will, in all proba.
bility, be prolonged in cloudy, threaten
ing and possibly stormy weather, up to
and through the 3rd, 4th and 9TH. These
are reactionary stormy days, and they
will bring a return of disturbed and
stormy condition, even if high barom-
eter and fair weather should Immediate
ly precede them. Change to rising bar
ometer, westerly winds and clearing,
cooling weather will touch most parts
about the 5th to 9TH
The regular Vulcan storm period, GEN.
tral on the 9Th, will be felt as early as
the 9TH or 8th, in falling barometer,
change to warmer and growing cloudi-
ness in western sections. AS these con-
ditions increase and advance eastward
oyer the country, storms of wind, rain
and thunder will visit most localities
about Saturday the 9th to Monday llth.
There is always much tendency to
prolonged disturbances during the i'm
mediate presence of earth's autumnal
equinoctial, especially when full or new
moons fall near the ending ofstorm per
iods. These phases of the moon in Sep
tember, the equiuoctial month, always
find the moon on or near the celestial
equator. Hence we find full moon on
the 18th and moon on the equator the
l4th. The 18th to 18th are also reaction
ary storm days. We may therefore look
for decided storm conditions to continue
over the dates. This is period ofprob-
able tidal wave, and heavy equinoctial
storms in the south. Barometric and
other recognized indications ofapproach-
ing hurricanes in all the gulf regions,
should be carefully noted at this time.
One of the most probable earthquake
periods in September will be central on
the 18th, extending "a to 26 hours before
and after that date. A marked change
of high barometer, westerly gales and
much cooler will almost certainly follow
general and severe storms at this time.
Frosts in many localities, especially
northward, between the 18th and 10th
may reasonably be expected.

So. Omaha Live Stock Market.


Special letter from Clay, Robinson &
CO., Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Sept. 4th, 1905.
Cattle The run of cattle last week
continued fairly liberal each day, but the
market was in good shape all the way
through and closed up steady to strong
for anything at all desirable Feeder
buyers were quite anxious for good de-
horned heavy steers for feeding pur-
poses and these continued strong and
higher, and brought more money for this
purpose than the packers were willing
to pay. Choice feeders sold as high as
S4 80, while the general supply Of good
beef steers sold around $4.00 a. $425,
with the fair to good kinds at 1915 a.
$4.00. Other than the demand for the
heavy cattle, conditions were little diff
ferent on other classes of feeding stock
Good medium and light weight steers
sold around $3.50 "a S3.75; light horned
thin stock is not in very good demand
and still sells at low prices. Cow stuff
also scld well all week and the market
closed steady. Good to choice kinds
sold at $500 a. 1925; fair to good $3.50
a. $500; Gamers Sl.65 a. $500. Some
choice spayed heifers brought as high as
s3 go, which is top 80 far this season. i.
The run today is about 5000 head, and
although eastern points report only a
fair run and steady to strong market,
conditions here are not very favorable
and the market is about a dime lower.
On account of this being Labor day,
practically holiday outside OF the stock
market, packers do not seem very anxi-
GUS for supplies.

| wish to refer to another point i'm
this line. Judging from what l have
been able to observe, l believe that
we pay too much attention to the

house | make it a rule that if the
house is not up to 60 degrees in the
morning | heat it up to that temper
allure as quickly as possible, so that
when the chicks emerge from the
broOder they will not get chilled. The
experienced chicken man is more
guided by the way the chicks are act
ing in the brOOder and will see at a.
glance if too hot or too cold, but for
my part l think it more important to
know the temperature of the house.
My brOOders are heated by gas, and
if up to the desired temperature, new
err change the flame but give them
more and more air from the top, the
older they get.

Some Pointers About Temperature.

In our mild climate we have a
great advantage over poultry keepers
in almost any part of the country.
Still there are often days in winter Gf
you are trying to raise early broilers)
when the temperature is much too cold
for young chicks. The following was
written for the Petaluma Poultry Jour
nal:
We hear a great deal about how to
feed the chicks, and that if we feed
this or that kind of food it will even
make the ROSTERS crow when three
weeks old. but strangely enough there
is little ever said about how to water
them. OF course. it is frequently said
that we must have fresh water be
fore them all the time. but that is not
enough on the subject. | prefer TO
give my chicks the fresh water heat
ed to blood heat or even more when
so that when the chicks come out the
water will be pretty warm and will
gradually assume the temperature of
the house. If you will spend little
time and watch them when they come
out of the brOOder, you will see how
they run for the water fountain. / al
ways notice that they do not drink
as much of the warm water as when
have cold water before them. and

Small Poultry Runs in Rainy
Weather.

Are your poultry provided with
shelter in bad weather? If nor they
should be. The reference to digging
up or blowing the poultry yards evil
IDENTIFY has i'm mind soils that are
sticky with clay. On our light sandy
land it is good idea to have the run
dug up or plowed two or three times
each year. The following article is
from the American Poultry Journals:
When the weather is rainy or bois-
ferrous a fowl is a particularly wretch
ed looking object. Directly rain COM
mences the poultry will be seen with
dropping tails, hurrying off to the
nearest shelter. If there is no prOtec-
ton from the wet they will stand
close together, huddled up. wet
through and the picture Of.misery. In
a farmyard there is almost invariably
barn or other clubhouse where the
birds can get out of the rain and wind
and remain in comparative comfort
But i'm hundreds of small confined
runs in which the majority of poultry
lovers have to keep their fowls there
is, as a rule, no protection whatever.
. The small houses having space
underneath, which can be purchased
from many appliance makers, are
very useful i'm this respect But the
ordinary homemade little houses and
runs seldom have any provision for a
rainy day, so the unfortunate birds
either have to stand out in the open
or crowd into the rOOsting- house. The
moist heat engendered by their damp
bodies is liable to promote cold and
rOup under such conditions. The
value of having the house ventilated
under the roofs is specially apparent
in wet weather. Cleanliness too, must
be observed with the birds remaining
in the house most of the time. An
excellent material with which to cover
the floor is moss spread three or
four inches deep. 1t absorbs the
moisture. is dry and warm for the
feet, is clean and can easily be clean

continuance of wet weather, as we
