Wrestling With Examinations

Wrestling With Examinations
Supt. Vigness is wrestling with the
examination papers from the Eighth
grade finals throughout the county
wherever these studies are taught.
As a whole the papers are very credit
able in appearance and in the work
executed. A great deal of fun is poksd
at ludicrous answers given in examin-
ations, and to a large extent it is de-
served, but little criticism directed
toward the author of some of the
questions might result beneficially.
Some of the questions are so ambigu-
GUS as to greatly mysify matured
minds and experienced teachers. A
little of the medicine which the au-
thor gives out might effect a reform
if taken by himself.

arising from the work still going on
in completing the court house, and

to arrange q boxing bout with J. s.
Cousins Of Wishek. but for some rea-
son or other Cousins caused re-

denies ever writing such stuff and

There are Investigations being made
On the Yegen land southeast of the
city that promise revelation.
1T has been known for some time
that good brick clay was to be found
upon this property, but it was not
known that it was of the superior
quality that recent tests have shown
it to be, neither was it safe to say
that the quantity was as great as
the drill proves that it is.
Mr.. Yegen has submitted samples
of this clay to eastern experts for an
alysis, as well as tests in the kiln,
with results that cause these experts
to say that for ordinary building
brick, vitrified paving brick and fire
clay products, the quality is very SUI.

his Investigations and it is hoped that
soon more can be said upon the sub.

ways pick dry. Pick as soon as posi-
BILE after they are sufficiently bled, as
they pick better and do not tear so
badly while warm. When picked,
place them on shelves in the shape
you wish them when cooled. Avoid
hanging, as it draws the breast mus
cles and gives them a thinner look
than when placed on shelves. Dressed
turkeys, when dry picked, sell better
than those that are scalded and COM
mand a better price, for the reason
mat their appearance is better and
far more attractive. Before shipping
dressed turkeys the animal heat
should be entirely out of the body.
Pack in neat packages or boxes, lined
with clean paper; packages or boxes
holding so or 100 pounds are the most
desirable Sizes Pack snugly and have
the fowls body and legs straight, not
twisted out of shape. Fill the pack
ages or boxes as full as possible to
prevent moving or slipping on the way.
MARK the number of hens and COB
blers in each package or box and state
the weights of each kind on the box,
and mark the shipping directions
plainly on the cover or end OF pack
ages or boxes. Ship by express on
December 20 and 81 for the Christ

Have your turkeys fat and follow
the above instructions and you will Sc
cure the top prices-and all that are
interested in them, from the producer
to the consumer, will be pleased and
you will thereby gain reputation for

ROllP.

One of the most dreaded diseases
among poultry is that of roup, which
usually begins with cold. All fowls
are subject to cold as we'll as human
ity. If taken in its first stages it is
not difficult to cure, says a writer in
Poultry Yard, but if allowed to get
foothold in a flock the Ratchet is the
best remedy. At the first appearance
of any running at the nose, sneezlng
or other symptoms, commence put
ting epson salts in their drinking
water. Do this three mornings, and
skip three mornings, alternating 1t I'M

about teaspoonful internally. For
hoarse breathing give a teaspoonful
of lard mixed with kerosene.
If the cold is neglected and devel-
OPS into roup, it is well nigh impos-
sible to subdue it. If the head is
swelled and eyes closed apply the ker.

ROUP CURES.

Roup cures can be bought at the
principal poultry supply houses, and

possible, rather than experiment with
homemade mixtures, but for those l1V-

cure cures, | will give few simple
remedies that can be easily and quick

way an epidemic may be arrested. For
local treatment a good atomiZer is the
most satisfactory way of applying it,

anything is a small sewing machine

Cd When first the cold is noticed,
put a bit of bluestone (sulphate of
copper) in the drinking water. A piece
as big as navy bean in a quart of
water, not any stronger. This is

head, is disinfectant and will pre-
vent the other chickens catching the
disease. So if any chick takes cold
put this into the water of the whole
flock to prevent the disease spread

of quinine and one af asafoetida q

of cayenne pepper will frequently cure
cold in one night.

remedy. Dilute with from one to three
