Years later, Boyd, an old, old man,
drifted back to the site of his discovery,
now known as Jerome, to find more
wealth, in the shape of copper ore, being
taken from the mine in a day than he
and his partners took from it during the
entire period that they owned it.
The three men who bought the mine
of Boyd and his partners worked out
the pocket of gold and silver ore in a
few years. They were endeavoring to
locate the permanent vein, when w. A.
Clark appeared on the scene, having
been attracted to Jerome by viewing, at
an exposition i'll the late eighties, speci-
mems of the mines copper ore. In the

copper mine ever discovered, is now a
pensioncr of Senator Clarlls, the latter
owning the property.
The year before Nose Manuel dis
covered the Homestake lode, John Boyd
and two partners, hearing, in Nevada,
of gold discoveries in the Tonta basin
of Arizona, headed thither. Penetrat-
ing to the top of the Bradshaw noun
tains after many hardships and close
calls from the Indians, they found
ground rich in both gold and silver, took
out rock that carried $100 in silver and
$35 in gold, and stalted out seven claims.
They held the property for a half
dozen years, when they sold, Boyd, the

owner, Mr.. Clark's practical knowledge
of mining had been nil. But he had at
tended the Columbia School of Mines,
New York, in order to overcome this
handicap. He went down into the
bowels of the United Verde, with his
own hands, took out numerous speci-
mems of the ore, assayed them himself,
and before he had bought the property
knew for certainty that it was the
richest copper mine yet uncovered. The
property adjoining the United Verde is

HlRTY-ONE years ago this COM
ing spring, miner of the name
of Nose Manuel, and his broth
er Fred, found some rich float
near what is now Lead, South
Dakota. The brothers and their partner
Henry Harney, searched diligently for
the lode, but, the snow being on the
ground, they were baffled in their efforts
to locate the wealth. When the snow
had disappeared, Nose was for renew
ing the search. His partners, with their
old hopes cooled, laughed and scoffed
at him.
Nose was dogged. He kept at his
partners until Harney agreed to accom-
pany him on a search. They looked
over the ground, as only miners can, for
many days-and at last, up on the hill
side, Nose Manuel located the lode.
Hank" he cried, boyishly, in the JOY
of his success and the light of his ex-
perience, this is surely homestalle p"
Calmer inspection proved to them that
the mine was, beyond the shadow of
doubt, homestake-the term, in miners
parlance, meaning enough money to take
them all back to the States" So they
called it the Homestake mine
For year the Manuel boys and their
partner worked the property; then they
sold out to the late United States SEN
ator George Hearst. and he developed
the Homestake into one of the rickest
gold mines the world has ever known
Last year the discoverer of the lode
met his death, as a common miner, in
the bottom of deep shaft in a mine in
Montana, his lamp starting an explo-
sion.
The history of American mining, since
the days of the argonauts, is full to the
bursting point with stories every whit
as romantic as that woven about the
name of Nose Manuel

Montana, first set foot in the copper

the name the future Senator's chatting
companions had given his worthless hole

up drinks for the stranger as he had
been in the habit of doing for his friends
whenever they mentioned his mine, but
the stranger would have none of the
liquor.
"You have the richest thing in all
Montana he exclaimed, in all serious
ness. Let me congratulate YOU"
This was too much for Clarks good
nature.
There is not an ounce of gold or
silver in the old hole" he replied, with
that piercing sharpness of voice for
which he is noted.
NO." said the stranger, ignoring the
owners rising anger, there is neither
gold nor silver in the Colusa. But there
is copper-and enough of it to put YOU
among the richest men of your day"
And so w. A. Clark came into his
millions and the title of Copper King"

TOOL enough to take it off his hands.

nanza King, he was sent by the Walker
brothers to Butte to explore and report
on the Alice mine, silver property of
uncertain extent and value.
"As a working miner, he went to a
cheap hotel, stayed week, and then
told the landlord he could not pay his
bill unless he got job. The landlord
secured work for him in two or three
mines, one of which he found too damp
for his lungs, and another unsafe; and
finally, in desperation, induced the own
ers of the Alice to give him a chance
to earn enough money to settle his ac-

The Great American Hen.

Can the great American hen be
thoroughly commercialized? Can
she be made to forego her ancient
and honorable ambition to set, and
induced to put all her time and
energy producing eggs.
The Agricultural Department be-
lievcs that such thing is possible,
and is now endeavoring to produce
a non-setting continuous egg-laying
fowl that will cheerful1y forego the
cares of the nursery and lay at least
one egg a day the year around.
In order to ascertain just what
effect encouragement and training
will have upon the hen, an expert
mental station has been established
by the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the Agricultural Department.
This experimental plant is loca-
ted at st. Denis, near Baltimore,
Maryland, and is in charge of Rob-
ert r. Slocum, a chicken expert,
who was induced to superintend the
work.
Efforts to induce the hen to spend
less time setting and more time lay
ing are being directed by DR. George
Nj. Rommel, of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry.
DR.. Rommel says: ''The mattec
is all in the future as yet, but the
theory is that we can influence the
hens egg production by feeding
that is, by what we feed her and
how we feed her.
1--WE have made practically nc
experiments as yet, but the Bureau
of Animal Husbandry has secured
the services of r. r. Slocum, who
is an expert in that line, and he
will have charge of the new work.
The first work at the hen farm
at St. Denis will pc the study oil
the moist and dry mash systems OF
feeding and of the use of the sell
feeding hoppers. The equipment i:
necessarily modest, because the
available funds are not large. "A

constructed. This house, togethei
with incubators, breeders, ETC., suf

condition is sometimes consider
able, but close attention and judg-
ment will overcome the problem and
keep the plant in flourishing condi-
ton.
When a plant is in a pot the
roots are chiefly to be found at the
bottom and touching the sides, they
are not to any extent found near
the surface soil. This being the
case, it will be seen very easiyl
that merely giving a dribble of
water at the top does no good; and,
indeed harm may ensue by the sub
sequent baking of the soil, which is
followed again by surface damping
for some time with the ultimate re-
suit of souring the soil; OF moss
may be developed on it, leading to
the impression of a general moist
surface layer, but of that only.
The golden rule in watering is,
give water only when the plant
needs it, but then water thoroughly.
How to give the water is as
important a point as when.
We advise people who have not
regular plant room where water can
be applied with perfect freedom,
and some allowed to splash over
without fear of damaging anything
as is the case in the greenhouse
of the florist-we advise that in
such places, rather than run the
risk of the mere surface damping
just spoken of, the placing of the
plants in tubs or pans with a
quantity of water sufficient to
mount up to within an inch or
less of the rim of the pot, allowing
the plant to stand there for some
time, so that the water can soak
through the pot and rise up through
the ball of roots and earth, thus
making sure that thorough soak
ing is given, for when the water
has soaked through it will be seen
inside the pot. This treatment may
in some cases of our dry, heated
rooms be necessary every day.
All plants are not the same in
their liking for perpetual heavy
moisture or saturation of the soil
A palm or fern, for instance, if
once allowed to become dry at the
roots will never recover its pristine
vigor, and there, indeed, lies the
whole secret of their successful Gull
ture. Some other plants with
very succulent leaves are not by
any means so liable to injury
through absence, of water, but such
plants are not of decorative value.
Then, again, there are other plants
which demand a perpetual appar-
ent excess of water. All these
points the florist attends to in the
potting up, by makinga suitable
mixture of soils-some to hold water
a long time, others to let it pass
through quickly.
All plants that are grown for
their foliage require a good deal Of
water put on the way just described,
and must also have their leaves
Showercd.

ABOUT HOUSE PLANTS
AND THEIR CARE

There are more plants in the
home killed by injudicious watering
than by any other error of treat
ment. Most frequently also the err
ror is on the side of mistaken kind
ness IN giving a little water too
frequently.
The possessor of some handsome
house plants comes with the ques-
ton: ''How often should I water
my plants ~ expecting to be told
once or twice a day, or at all events
some stated interval. But such
cannot be, and the only answer that
a conscientious person can give the
querist is: LAS often as neces-
sary.'' In other words. this means

tigation are to be combined by the
use of three pens of fowls. The diff
ferent lots of fowls are to be housed
exactly alike, and all the conditions
made equal except the methods of
feeding.
Fowls in pen No. will receive,
morning and night, a mixture of
whole or cracked grains scattered
in the litter, and at noon a moist
ened mash.
"Those in pen No. will re-
ceive, morning and night, the same
grain mixture, fed in the litter ex-
actly as in pen No. /, and the same
mash at noon, except that it will be
dry.

these two pens will be that pen No.

while pen No. receives exactly
the same mash dry.
Fowls in pen No. will be
fed exactly as those in the other
pens, but will De fed from two
self-feeding hoppers, one contain
ing the grain and the other the
mash. This mash will, of course,
be dry. The hopper containing the
grain will be opened about p.
m. in winter and S p. m. in sum-
mer, and will be left open until the
next noon. 1t will then be closed,
and the second hopper, containing
the mash, will be opened, and left
SO, nutil the first hopper is again
opened.
In this way the fowls will have
feed before them at all times, and
can eat as much or as little as they
please. A comparison can be made
with pen No. ?, the only difference
being that pen No ? receives it's

The Shades of Life.

Gladys was going to be married.
She sat on the edge of her little
white bed, rose in her raven hair,
smiling happily. How wonderful
it all was that she, the si.nlpe little
country girl, was to marry George
Horton, the richest farmer for miles
around!
And then her marvellous new
dresses!
One dotted Swiss with blue sash,
One pink organdie,
One rose silk with a pleated yoke,
One gray travelling suit,
One hat with quilts,
One hat with roses,
and some clean white things devoid
of lace and beauty that the simmer
boarder had called Ling cries. -
And then how kind and generous
George was to her,
Hadn't he named the new cow
after her and given her the ccllu-
loid-backcd brushes and the cut
glass perfume holder
The twilight was falling and a
great wave of emotion swept over
her. She kissed the brushes and
perfume holder and then ran lightly
down the backstairs to fry the ham
and eggs for supper
They were married. George
struck oil. George struck it again.
In fact, George struck it three
times in the same place.
Gladys was going to be divorced.
She lay in graceful pose on the
Louis Ouinze sofa, an emerald tiara
on her red-gold hair, thinking what
brutes men were.
Next day she was to appear in
court, and of course the moment
Gus question was what should she
wear:
Her violet panne and sables?
Her ochre velvet?
Her flame chiffon and silver fox
Her cerise vevlet?
Her opal satin
Her ermine coat2
She sighed sadly and called for
her maid to bring the dress menu,
then threw a thousand dollar bill

How had she stood George for Sc
long?
OF course he had been generou:
