bird of a rather wild nature The wild
nature of the beautiful fowls is an OBJ
lection with many poultrymrn. There
are two breeds Of guineaS, the pearl
and the white guinea. The pearl guinea
is Of a wilder disposition than the
white guinea. Both breeds are about
the same size. The flesh of the pearl
guinea is darker than that Of the
white. which makes the White guinea
preferable as a table fowl. Both breeds
Of guineas are good summer egg pro
ducers. They begin laying IN April or
May and continue to lay until late in
the fall. The pearl guinea is very sen
sitive about having her nest disturbed
and often leaves the nest iC part of
her eggs are removed. The white guinea
Is not so particular about her nest and
will continue to lay in the nest If only
one egg is left in it. Our white guiucaS
often lay in the nest boxes IN the poul-
try house with the chicken hens.
GuIneas are valuable insect destroyers.
They will eat insects that the chickens
Will not, such as the potato bug and

STORY OF A SULPHUR MINE.
Only One in This Country, 1t Is Said
How It Is Worked.

There is only one sulphur mine in the
United States" said Hubert Oser of
New Orleans. THE existence of the
mine is known to but few and was
known to hardly any one until recent
years.
The mine is said to contain about
S37. 600 900 worth of pure sulphur. 1t is
located near Lake Charles in an almost
inaccessible region. 1t was discovered
by a famous mineralogist, according to
one story, while another has it that 1t
was found by a party of hunters who
had shot bears in the vicinity and found
the coats of the bears to be filled with
a black, greasy oil. They were curious
to know where this came from ana
tracked Bruin one night, going through
an almost impenetrabe marsh and com
ing out on high wooded knoll Where
the oil pit was discovered.
Little was thought of the matter
until a few years before the Civil war.
when un attempt was made TO SINK
shaft to get the oil. The war broke up
the business, but in 1868 another shaft
was sunk. this time with I'D huge steel
rings, each twelve feet in diameter and
five feet wide. They were imported
from France and rolled across the coun-
were sunk in the one shaft, 100 feet
deep, but it filed up with oil and it
was found that nothing could be done
with the enterprise. a fortune was
sunk in the attempt.
Later the Standard Oil heard Of the
oil and came down to examine the
ground. Behring'S We're made and it was
found that below the oil was a stratum
of pure sulphur rock from 20 TO 90
feet deep. Various eXpedients We're
tried to mine the stuff, but all failed, un-
til one of the engineers thought up a
scheme to extract the sulphur by melt
ing it and pumping it to the surface.
behring's made mile either way showed
the stratum to be about 200 feet thick
in every direction and the worth Of the
mine was estimated at nearly $4,000
600.
"a unique and intricate process is
used to extract the sulphur Huge iron
pipes are forced into the bed and hot
water pumped into them at $50 degrees
from a battery of 100 boilers. After
about ten days the melted sulphur is
pumped to the surface and flowed into
huge watts. where it is allowed to cool"
