Farmer vInssngs Chick Talk.

Keep the dishes neat and clean that the little chicks eat and drink out of. You may save their lives that way.
 Little chicks love milk as well as the older ones. And how 1t makes them grow. Ever try 1t?
 t Is poor policy to keep the little chicks all the time on one kind of food. You would not Ike that yourself. Set shallow vessel near the cO0ps and into !t put some sour milk. See how they will run for it and notice how much faster they will grow too.
 Take pains when feeding the little chicks to keep the older fowls away. They will rob the little ones If they possibly can. It Is a good plan to have a hole near the top of the coop through which one may drop the food for the chicks. Then, 1T one cannot stay to keep the hens away, a board may be set up in front Of the coop so that they cannot get In behind it-Phjladel- phIa Farm Journal

FRESH AIR FOR PNEUMONIA.
Main Thing In Treating ths Disease,
 SayB an Expert.

pr. Stephen Smith Burt professor Of medicine in the New York POstgradu, ate Medical school, discussing pueu- monia in the Medical Record says:
 Let us place a patient in g large, sun ny room with wide open windows, R not actually upon a roof or veranda, and thus continually supply the extra need of air caused by the toxaemta and Che consolidation. If the weather Is cold, so much the better for cold air, especially when dry. eZCites respira- ton and thereby promotes oxidation. Moreover. 1t Is more concentrated than warm air and therefore contains more oxygen to a given inhalation. In some Instances there may be an open grate fire, or any customary form Of heat, to temper the air when there Is small power of reaction. The patient must be kept comfortable by extra bed and under clothing. Hot water bottles if necessary can be placed ln the bed, and screens can be utilized for shelter from direct drafts.
 With regard to the diet, there Is more danger of overlooking than of any lack of nourishment. Considering that the gastro intestinal functions are de- ranged. 1t is only hurtful to add to the system extra burdens of digestion and assimilation. Small quantities of pure mIk-either plain, diluted with vichy or predlgeSted-every two hours, possi- bly fortified now and then by the yOlk Os an egg, alternating with beef tea and various brOths. such as barley broth In particular, is a regimen that has proved satisfactory.

Water must not only be freely allowed but also ire quenuy urged upon the patient for 1t should be kept in mind that milk Is food, though fluid, and is inadequate to QuenCh yhiCst.

Eesdirr cnt Green Bone.

There is one thing about which the person who has had no experience with feeding cut green bone should be cau- toned. and that Is not to give the fowls too much of the feed They devour it grcedily, and unless you are very care CuI they will eat too much For the average fowls We would not consider 1t advisable to give more than one third or one.half ounce to each bird, says Western Poultry Journal Thus to a flock of three dozen feed twelve to eighteen ounces each day. As will soon be found out their supply must be limited, and if they show any ill effects from what Is given them the food should be decreased in quantity.

ABOUT OLD VlOLINS.
Reasons Why Ancient Instruments Arc
 Better Than New.

Better Than New,
 Fabulous prices are sometimes paid for old ylolins, and many au enthusl- asuc musician would part with his last dollar to possess one of the mas terpleces of Stadiyarius or Guarneri- us or another of the famous makers of a century or two ago.
 The unprecedented superiority of these old and often battered Instruments has been yariously ascrlbed to the peculiar quality Of the varnlsh used in their construction, 10 the elasticity of the wood employed and to the ripenlng and improving effects of age and long use.
 Of late years, however much ere ience has been given the suggestion ot au eminent authority that the real cause of the superiority of the old in struments is due to a peculiar warp gug of the wood to 8 higher arch, a JuckIing caused by the position of the g holes and sound post
 It might at first thought be supposed that the same effect could be produced by giving an equal archIng to a new instrument. but the effect If attained .S not permanent because with age the lrchlng increases until too great a de gree oF Tlgidity IS the result.

IF THEY DO FIGHT

Jus, at .the present time the news papers are full of articles both pro and con as to the immediate commence meut of hossili.ies with Japan, Re- gently In commenting CD the trend events were taking, the Seattle Post Inteuigeucer attributed much of the spirit of agitation now prevailing to jiDgolsu, and among other things said.

RICE FOR P0OL LTRY.
An Exceptionally Valuable Food Which
 ls Too Often Overlooked,


 Boiled rice is a good summer food for growing bantams, says the Feath- CT. Wheat and oats, so profusely rec commended as a feed for bHntams, con. tain too much protein and make them grow too fast, while rice, which is less nutritious, Rs to bone and flesh form Ing elements IS better for them. Tn raising Cochin bantams we have used large amounts of boiled rice during the summer months. In fact. often for days they received no other food than this. Wheat contains more than 10 per cent of protein, rice 4la per cent, wheat 69 per cent carbohydrates, rice 72 per cent Rice Is good for bantams, good for fattening fowls # you wish white meat but it Is of but little ad- vantage as a food for large sized pOul- try, that you wish to develop quickly. Cracked rice may be fed to a limited extent to young chicks under three weeks old. 4 little of 1t may be used with profit for squab growing, but 1t cannot be depended upon as a thor Oughly good food for poultry.

WANT FISH HATCHERY.
Effort Being Made to Secure
Same at kooSkia.

At the last session Of the legisla-
ture an appropriation was made
for the establishment and mainte-
nance of state fish hatchery and
now the village of Kooskia is max
ing an attempt to have the same
located at the mouth of Clear
Creek, short distance from that
place. 1t seems to the average
citizen of this locality that the
place would make an excellent
location for hatchery. as the
water is clear and free from foul
matter of all kinds. Another rea-
son advanced is the fact that north
Idaho has never shared very liber-
ally in the appropriations allowed
for state institutions. A petition
reciting these and numerous other
facts is being circulated and prac-
tically ever voter to whom it is
presented is signing the same. 1t
will be forwarded to the governor
shortly and an effort made to secure
the location OF the hatchery. S. T.
Rossiter, who teaches in the schools
of that town, was circulating it in
Grangeville Saturday and met with
great success. The people of Koos
kia can depend on all kinds Of sup

DEATH OF A. /. WATSON.
Respected Pioneer Resident
Dies Of Old Age.

At the ripe old age of 76 years,
Alexander l. Watson respected
pioneer of Idaho county, passed
from this world last Friday. The
infirmities Of old age were the
cause of his death, and, although
for the past four months he has
been confined to his bed, he bore
we'll the suffering and at all times
showed his appreciations of the
comforting aid administered by
kind and loving hands.
Alexander l. Watson was born
in Darke county, Ohio, June 2,
1880, the son of Nancy and Robert
Watson. His early days were
spent in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa
After a residence in the middle
west of some years, he left for
Pixies Peak where he joined a
government outfit and continued
on westward. In 1862 he arrived
at Florence and took up mining
and after a varied experience
he settled on the Camas Prairie
and entered land which he later on
sold. In 1885 purchased a ranch
two miles south of this city where
he continued to reside until last
fall, when at the earnest solicita-
tion OF his daughter, he moved
to town and with his wife made
his home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Cyrus Overman, his son-inlaw and
daughter.
Coming to this county at an
early day the deceased might well
be classed as trail blazer as all
the hardships of pioneer life were
his and as participant in the
bloody Nez Perez Indian war, his
part in the tragedy was not obs
cure, At the time of the outbreak
he lived a mile north of the lake
on Rocky canyon and becoming
suspicious of their actions he took
his family to Mt. Idaho on June
ID, 1887. 1t was none too soon
AS two days later Mr.. Watson's Z
home was in flames and signal fires
could be seen over the entire
prairie.
Deceased was quiet and unas-
suming man who was beloved by
all who knew him. A man with
no bad faults and many admirable
qualities, man who practiced the
golden rule, he was truly good and
through his death the county lost
an excellent citizen and a sorrow
ing wife and daughter are rich in
a heritage of memories of a kint
and loving father.
Services were held at the M. f
church Sunday afternoon, being
conducted by his pastor, Rev. ID
G. Sanderson, assisted by Rev. w
n. Knox. Interment at Prairi

A BUNCH OF MINING NOTES
Doings at Different Camps in
the County.
Shows Good Assays

Mayor Fem Batty and Joe
Wade left yesterday morning for
their rich quartz claims on Peasley
creek, near the south fork OF the
Clearwater river. Three of their
partners Nook in supplies the last
OF the week and are now busy de-
veloping the claims. Several
samples of ore from the property
were taken to Lewiston last week
to be assayed and valueserunning
from Sl.22 to $21.73 were evil
denced. A selected specimen of
the ore assayed $149. 33 per ton.
The ledge was discovered about
five weeks ago by A. G. Carpe nter
and B. F. Moses, who were pros
pecting in that vicinity. The
news of the find was quieted until
several claims and water right
could be located. The ledge, it is
said, is 100 feet wide and has been
traced for a distance of three and
one-half miles. Parties who are
we'll informed upon the subject
say that if the property proves as
rich as the assays indicate one OF
the richest districts in the north
west has been discovered. Messrs.
Fred White, Fem Batty, James
Hartman, Joe Wade, A. G. Carpen-
ter and B. F. Moses own the prop
erty upon which the strike was
made.
