YOUNG MAN WHOSE SALARY
EQUALS THAT OF PRESIDENT.
Hoosier College Graduate, Aged 80,
Receives Handsome Pay as Mining
Expert for the Guggenheims
Was Star Athlete.

Indianapolis.-How many young
men receive straight salary equal to
that of the president of the United
States? There is one at least. oscar
b. Perry, of Bloomington, Ind, who,
at his age. 80, receives $4,000 year
for his services.
This young man is paid that much
for his brains, and it is not an exces-
ssive salary from the standpoint OF the
corporation which employs him. Inc
investment of $4,000 a year has
brought returns approaching the MIL
lions. Ii is a remarkable story OF an
Indiana boy who made the best OF ms
talents and his opportunities. VINO
made a college education count Ior
all that it was possible to get out OF
it, and who now holds position that
few men of his age seldom attain.
And he has been out of college but
ten years, having graduated at the
age of 20. Mr. Perry, an expert MIN
ing engineer, Is general manager OF
some half dozen of the Guggenheim
mining enterprises of Colorado, Gail
fornia, Canada and Alaska, the COM
bined capitalization of which repre-
SCENTS many millions. He has been
with the Guggenheims about four
years, his selection for the important
position he now holds having been
made by John Hays Hammond, long
the right hand man of Cecil Rhodes
in South Africa and recognized as one
of the foremost mining experts OF the
world. His attention was attracted 70
Mr.. Perry several years ago.
After graduation from Indiana uni
versity at Bloomington from the de
partment of physics in 1897 Mr.. Perry
took a years graduate work at the In
.stitution, then entered the school o.
mines of Columbia university, from
which he took the Z. NJ. degree II

his father. a wealthy owner of stone
uuarries in the Bloomington distric
and one of the first to demonstrate
the beauty and value for building pur
poses of the Oolitic limestone, n
went to California and became inter
-ested in dredging for gold. He studies
the dredges with the eye OF an eS
pert and made so many improvement
that the machines soon came to b
known as the Perry dredges.
His inventions soon attracted tn
attention of Mr. Hammond and led {
his employment by the Guggenheim'

The ample enveloping cloaks OF the

BIoating.

In the spring, if the COW is allowed
to eat too heavily of feed to which
she is not used, bloating is liable to
result. Glover and even bluegrass and
timothy when wet frequently disorder
the stomach and cause blcating. Frozen
vegetables and roots are nearly al
ways responsible for the trouble. II
the case is not extreme, exercise will
be sufficient. Drive the animal a mile
or two. and the exercise will cause
the bowels to move enough to cor
rect the trouble. If this fails to af-
ford relief, pour half pint of raw
linseed oil down the animals throat.
1t may be necessary to repeat the
dose every three hours till four or
five doses are given, but this simple
remedy rarely fails to bring relief.

sprinqtime Suggestions.

An experience of twenty years in
rearing and caring for poultry con-
firms one in the belief that nine-tenths
of all so-called diseases originate from
lice.
In treating sick fowls FIRST clean
them of vermin, and then give a good
simple remedy to restore lost vigor.
Tincture of iron in the proportion
of one-fourth ounce to three gallons
of milk is an excellent remedy where
cholera symptoms are shown.
When the case is severe the fowls
should be isolated and ten drops o.
tincture of iron given three times a
day for two days. Give in table
spoonful of water and allow no other
drink during this time.
Nest boxes should be arranged in
the most comfortable places. For early
matches there is no better place than
the cellar,
BY having hens tame, and all poul
try is amenable to kind treatment
they may be better managed during
the brooding season.
Sloppy foods cause diarrhcea among
poultry, especially among young
chicks.

cowPEAs A GREAT CROP.
Enables Farmer to Grow More live
Stock and Add to Prosperity.

To a man unacquainted with the
condition of things it would seem like
carrying Goals to Newcastle to talk
about cowpeas. But l have seen SO
much of the lack of attention that
should be given this crop until know
that this is not so. In every section
of the south there are hundreds OF
the best farmers who do not know
about the great crop. However, people
from every section of the United
States are becoming interested, and 1t
will not be many years before some
locality comes to the front in DEM
onstrative way.
This great crop is the one southern
crop that can be planted from the first
of April to the first of August with
certainty of making more than enough
to pay all expenses of the crop. II
enriches the soil instead of exhaust
ing its fertility. 1t enables farmers to
| grow more live stock and adds gen.
eral air of prosperity to any section
where such a system of farming is in
augurated.
There are one hundred and nifty
varieties, but all a man wants is five
or six good ones, and indeed less than
| that will do If they are the right kind.
The Iron cowpea is one of the great
est cowpeas in existence, and after
them comes the wonderful Whippoor-
will, the black pea and the old-fash-
toned red pea. These are all good in
their way. The Iron pea has proved a
sort of God-send in many localities
of Georgia where the Gotten wilt and
cowpea wilt has infected the land.
They bear the same relation to the
cowpea family as does Jackson's wilt
proof cotton to the cotton wilt, or
rather to the cotton family. With
these two varieties people farming in
these sections are permitted to go on
without any practical injury, and the
) Iron cowpea is better, if anything
; than the cotton.

many farmers right here In Georges
