At the end of the eighteenth CEN
tury the mines of the Guanajuato were
the foremost of their kind. 1t was
then that the Valenciana shaft was
sunk to 1900 feet, and it is still the
deepest in the district.
This work was completed in 1855
at a fabulous expense. 1t is said to
have cost a million, though even this
expenditure seems small compared
with that of the Combination shaft.

this was 3,1OO feet deep and cost So
DOC, 900.
The cost of the big shaft Of the
Valenciana was Offset by an extra
ordinary production, stated at $780,
100000, most of it extracted during the
latter half of the eighteenth century.
This figure corresponds with the total
output of the Comstock up to the Tina
when the lower workings were aban-
doned in 1884.

sum of $2,64S, 1865, was paid. AS this
represented one-fifth of the yield OF a
period of five years, it serves to sub
stantiate even the extraordinary stat
istics Of these old mines. The other
mines on the Veta Madre and those
on La Luz veins also produced enorm-
ously at this period, SO that the popu-
lation Of the district at the beginning
of the nineteenth century had in

This was the time Of Humboldt's
visit. He says that "the whole vein
(the veta Madre) of Guanajuato may
be estimated at four ounces of silver
per quintal of minerals" AS a Quintal

ing eighty ounces per ton of 1000
pounds.

revolution against Spanish domination.
In 1910, when in the height of her
prosperity as a mining center, Guiana
juato was attacked by the republican
forces and life became insecure, so
that mining operations were discour-
aged and all work of Importance was
discontinued. Deep work ceased en-
tirely, no shafts were sunk and the
production Of ore was reduced to in
frequent shipments taken from sup
porting pillars and from the sides Of
old slopes.
Even such decadent mining became
Insignificant as the miners we're driven

general lawlessness that the heavy
walls with watch towers were built
around the mines, until every prop

given to the reduction works. which

Cures Her in Five Days.

"After my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about a fortnight later by a
furious itching and painful eruption all
over her body, especially the upper part of
it, forming watery and bleeding sores, es-
pecially under the arms, of considerable
size. She suffered a great deal and for
three weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think OF.
Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-
cura Remedies and after twenty-four hours
we noted considerable improvement, and,
after using only one complete set of the
Cuticura Remedies, in FIVE consecutive days
the little one, much to our joy, had been

the production of high-grade milk:
Clean stables, a healthy herd and
careful, cleanly men. His cows are
always fed after milking. Just be-
fore the milking they are brushed
and the floor and walls of the stable
are sprayed. A mar with warm water

BOW HEN LICE BREED.
No A.rd or animal is tormenred with
lice M bre than the domestic hen, yet
she takes greater care of herself than
any Cher living creature, as she
makeskher toilet daily, arranging ev-
cry feather and resorting to every
method to rid herself of the pests.
which Eefforts would be successful ii
she ceElld control. the conditions for
breeding lice. Those who build poul-
try-horkes seek to save as much OF
the co6t as possible, and by so doing
they ave liable to leave SO many hid
ing pldces for lice that it is almost
impossible to reach them except with
tedious and patient labor. If the walls
of pouttry-houses were plastered, the
smooth surface presented would great
ly facilitate the keeping of the mouse
clear Of lice, but plastered walls are
more expensive than rough boards,
and will not be generally adopted.
Lice breed in the hiding places that
can only be reached with liquids. so
that everything in the house must be
completely saturated in order to de-
stroy them; they also breed in the
nests and in the droppings. The red
mites go from the roosts to the hen,
and she clears them off with the dust
bath, only to be supplied from the
house when she goes on the roost
again. The large gray lice breed on
the bodies of the hens, and are never
found il the poultry-house. They are
difficult for the hen to remove, as they
cling t~eInaciously to the skin of the
head arid neck. Any kind of grease,
howevef. will destroy them, lard oil
being excellent. Recently, the use of
insecticides for spraying trees has
broughtkto notice the kerosene emul-
sion as Ia remedy for lice, but there
is nothikg that will serve so well to
apply tie emulsion as the sprayer,
which Projects a spray as fine as dew,
and which can be made to spread ov-
err every square inch of surface. If
there aRe holes or crev1ces around
posts, WHERE the boards are nailed on,

them OUT of an oil can, and for the
roosts uss, also the unadultered kero-
sene. Now is the season for lice, and
there is plenty to do to keep them
down.-Weekly Witness.

SEEDING APPLES OF MAINE.

SEEDING APPLES OF MAINE.
Bulletin 143 of the Maine station,
THE Seeding Apples of Maine,p Is
just being sent out. The purpose Of
this bulletin is to call attention to
those varieties of Maine origin which
are worthy of wider dissemination;
and to record, as accurately as pos
sible, the history Of such varieties.
While Baldwin, Greening, and other
standard varieties, mostly of New
England origin, will doubtless remain
for many Fears the leading market
sorts, new And valuable sorts are con-
tinually appearing, and these will be
most likely to excel near their native
home, or iH their native State. The
| wholesale Injury to orchards by the
cold of theI past few years is also an
incentive tb search out the merits of
native hardy varieties. Among the
most valuable of the t~hirty-eight ma
tive sorts mentioned in the bulletin,
are Deane, dudley, King Sweet, Rolfe,
Starkey aid Stowe. Some of those
described IN genealogical manuals are
said to bel wholly or practically ex-
tinct; though at one time of consid-
cradle Importance. An effort Is being
made at the station to collect in a
Maine Orchard" such native seed
lings as seen to merit attention, and
owners of Ealuable Seeding apples are
requested 10 forward specimens of the
fruit for examination.

CRUSHED OATS FOR HORSES.
Australian horsemen are divided as
TO the prfpriety of crushing oats for
horses. The reason advanced in sup
porting crushed oats is that they are
more thoroughly digested than whole
oats. That, however, it is said, Is
not the reason which mainly inf1u-
ences ~theIfarmer. He finds that when
his horselfeed is crushed the germin-

The moAr teeth of horses possess

former for feeding to animals that

Men with long experience of horses

CORN CIR CORN MEAL FOR HOGS.
A CAREFUL line of experiencing has
just beeh completed at the Wisconsin
Station TO decide on the relative value
Of shellkd corn and corn meal for
fattenina pigs. 1t was found that
the cora meal was something bet
ter, not always enough better as a
fattening food to pay for cost of grind
ing. The higher the price of corn,
the greater the saving through grind
ing, sinde cost of grinding becomes
smaller relatively as the price of grain
advances. Thus, with corn at twenty.
five cents a bushel, the saving from
grinding was only l IL cents, but
the corr lat seventy-five cents a bushel
the saving from grinding vas 4 IL
cents per bushel. The corr meal
producecs a somewhat quicker matur-
ity THANH whole corn. The pigs eat
more of the meal and make some

gested that corn meal could be used
