returned yesterday from Roundup,
where he has been opening a coal mine
for the Roundup Coal Mining compa-
ny, Of which George w. Megreath, one
Of the principal coal operators at
Deitz. Wyo., and in other western coa1
mining sections, is the principal stock
holder.
Mr.. Morris is said to have estab-
lished q record for opening q coal
mine. Three weeks ago he started to
drive q tunnel on the slope andnow ne.
is shipping coal. The good coal body
was struck 20 feet from the opening
OF the tunnel, which is now in 200.
feet on the coal vein. The vein is
said to be the same one the Mi1wau-
kee railroad is operating Ii its mine
No. 1, and intends operating in its
mine No. 2, which it is sinking a shaft
upon. The vein is of a very nne btu
minous coal, six feet three inches in
thickness with sandstone floor and
roof, making It easy for mining.
The mine, which Mr.. Morris and his
associates have opened is situated half
way between the old and the new town
of Roundup and in this county. It is
much higher than the Milwaukee com
Ipany mines. The entrance to the tun-
mel is about so feet above the river
and the pitch of the vein is but is de-
grees, which will permit considerable
coal being taken out before the water
level is reached.
Development work IS still in pro
gress, but about IS men are employed
in the mine and they + taking out
from 10000 to 100000 pounds of coal
per day. The coal is shipped to towns
along the Milwaukee railroad, which
will be supplied largely from the
Roundup mines. It is understood that
the company will leave the matter of
supplying the towns on the new road
Ito the Roundup Coal Mining company.
Any coal, however, which is not taken
by the consumers in the new towns
will be taken by the railroad itself.
Extensive preparations are being
made by the company to operate its
mine to capacity. While it is driving
a tunnel now, it will soon drift and a
number Of rooms will be opened to
mine in. In the next thirty days the
company expects to be In a position
to ship a large amount Of coal daily.
The company is erecting a large
number Of bunk houses, homes for
miners and boarding houses near its
property and expects to be able to pro
vide homes for both single and mar
ried men, who may desire them, when
the mine is operated at full capacity
when fully developed.
Conditions around Roundup are
most prosperous, according to Mr..
Morris. The Milwaukee railroad is do.
ing a thriving business and work at its
two mines is being pushed to capac-
ity. New settlers : coming into
the community daily and the town Of
Roundup is growing at q lively rate.
MI. Morris seems confident that the
northern section Of this county WIN
become n Of the greatest coal min
ing regions of the west. He expects
to return to Roundup in a few days
and oversee work at the mine.

Bugs That Fat Bugs.

The Department of Agriculture cul-
tivates insects that destroy any and
All crop parasites. The polygnotus
hiemalis can whip any Hessian fly
ever born; the tysphlebus tricti is
death on the green bug. The green
bug eats the other, which promptly
lays it's eggs inside its devourer. The
young eat their way to the open air,
thus killing the greenebug, says Van
Nordan's Magazine.
To one lady bug is due the destruc-
tlon OF the San Jose scale, which did
millions OF dollars damage to the
fruit trees of California. When the
pest had become a positive menace
the department heard OF species
of bug in North China which was
fatal to the scale. A large number
OF. the bugs were procured, but all
were dead except one when they
reached this country. The one insect
was taken to Washington and became
ward Of the Government. She
rewarded her keepers by laying about
5000 eggs. In an incredibly short
space Of time she had a fourishing
family OF seven billions and the reign
Of the scale was ever.

Building a Herd For Beef.

In building up herd for beef pro-

deep and square body, cows with a
good coating of flesh, for these, If
bred to the right kind of bull, will
produce calves that will prove profita-
BILE feeders.
. Now for the bull. The bull is half
the herd. He stamps his qualities
on all the calves, not simply on one
. calf year, as with the cow. Get a
registered bull Of the breed you want,
even If you have only grade COWS, as

Spring is the natural season for

How the Japanese Battle.

In Japan every one, rich or poor,
takes one hot bath day.
Each house possesses a round, bar
rel-like tub, and in 1t the bather
kneels. The temperature of the wat
er varies from 110 to 120 degrees,
and no Japanese thinks Of taking less
than an hour to bathe In.
Before going into the bath pre-
liminary scrubbing takes place, for
which each person is provided with q
brass bowl full of water and q small
stool to sit on. The bowl is constant
ly reflled with hot water and the
skin thoroughly scrubbed. The body
at last gets so perfectly cleansed chat
when it's owner steps into the bath
tub the water is not "soiled," so to
speak.
A japanese considers his or her
bath before food, and there is no
doubt that the vitality and endurance
of the japanese are greatly due to
their cleanly habits. The water is
always heated by charcoal, and it is
said that a Japanese woman takes
five minutes to wash one arm!

InyaIid's Tray Table.

1t is often impossible for a sick
berson to sit up in bed to eat from
the tray, and when this is the case,
1t often is hard to put the tray in
handy and yet comfortable position
for the invalid and in many cases the
person is so weak it tires them to
support the tray on the lap. A table
for an invalid tray car be easily and
quickly made by anyone. Select
small folding table, such as is used
for sewing, and stand it teside the
bed and saw off the legs on one end
even with the bedspread. Move the
table across the bed until the uncut
legs stand close to the bed and the
shortened legs rest cn the bed and
mako the table firm. In this way tile
table Is IN the most convenient posi-
tion, while 1t does rot rest on the
person in bed or prevent the use OF
the limbs. Another handy table for
the invalid's use can lie made from
dolls table. Cut Off all four legs so
that they are only about eight inches
long. This table may be placed over
the covered legs of tho patient with
the legs of the table resting on the
bed on each~side, These tables may
be folded up and placed standing
against the wall Of closet when not

Cracked Corn For Hens.

In recent experiment the Maine

son of whole corn md cracked corn

sirable when thrown In the litter, be.
cause laying hens, which tend 10 grow
too fat upon the whole corn, are
forced to take more exercise in Sc
curing the smaller pieces. In Octo.
Der 1000. April hatched pullets were
put into ten like pens. Besides the
other food, the pullets in one-half
Of the pens received whole corn, and
IN the other half an equal weight of
cracked corn, The records of each
pen from November to April show
that the average number Of eggs per
bird receiving the whole corn was,
for the various pens, eighty-four,
seventy-eight, seYenty-three, seventy
seven and seYenty-six, and for those
receiving tho cracked corn seventy,
nine, seyenty-fve, seYenty-seyen, sew.

experims1tit appears that there is
nothing in the results that leads to
the conclusion that 1t is necessary

Culling Is beneficial.

Culling the flock improves 1t and
makes 1t better every year, as high
er standard is constantly being
evolved. BY an observation Of the
individuals much can be learned. In
stead Of running indiscriminately
with culls, one becomes acquainted
with the good hens and perhaps
makes pets of them and pride in their
Individual excellence is entertained
by the owner. All of which is very
desirable. Then, too, the young flock
will be hatched only from the best
producers and the. choicest specimens,
instead CT from eggs taken indiscrim-
inately from the egg basket and large
ly from poor specimens, says Epito-
mist.
Even with good pure-bred stock
the matter of selection should not be
overlooked. There is ho likelihood
of there being such extremely poor
specimens in a pure-bred flock as in
flock Of mongrels, but at the same
time in every flock there are some
that are better than others. The OBJ
ject of this, then, is to impress upon
poultrymen and farmers the impor-
tance Of close scrutiny of the stock,
and to teach the fact by careful se-
lection profitable flock may often
be built up from what may at first
seem to be very unpromising mate
rial.

WHITE CUE GERM
NOT ALWAYS DEADLY.
Expert Says Seventy Per Cent. of
People Havo tuberculosis, Only
Fifteen Per Cent. Die,

Tuberculosis in it's many phases
was thoroughly discussed at the ninth
annual meeting of the American
Therapeutic Society. Expert physi-
clans told of the proper treatment Of
the dreaded disease in its varying
stages.
The first paper, upon the treatment
of tuberculosis, was read by DR.. Law
renee F. Flick, who has charge of the
White Haven sanitarium.
aThe restoration of the afflicted in
dividual to his normal capacity and
the stimulation of his intrinsic disease
fighting qualities constitute in a
broad sense the modern treatment Of
tuberculosis, declared DR.. Flick.
"As rule the tubercle bacillus is
not very virulent to human beings.
The tendency to recover; is SO great
that the majority who suffer I'M
plantation will recover without devel-
oping noticeable symptoms. Seventy
per cent. of all persons living In civil
lied communities get implantation Of
tuberculosis. Only fifteen per cent.
of those living in civilized communi-
ties die of the disease. Without
mixed infection tuberculosis would
never kill"

pure.Rred Horses.

Next week will end the county fairs
in Ohio. have attended county fairs
and the Ohio and Indiana State Fairs
this year. Becoming the owner of a
coach stallion last spring, my interest
conferred in the horse displays at
these fairs. shall not dwell upon
the displays at any of them, but
wish to say few words through your
paper of the result of my own ex-
perience and that Of many horse own
ers to whom l talked.
In Ohio we have no stallion law;
that is, anybody who owns stallion,
no matter how many blemishes or
other imperfections he may have or
howsmongrelly bred he may be, he is
for service to any who apply. At
county fairs the so-called grade horse
was there, but 1 am happy to say he
was overshsdowed by the magnificent
specimens of the pure-bred horse.
Eut the mongrel is like cancer; he
keeps on in business by the cheap
price he offers for service, and the
only way to drive him out is to pass
stringent laws allowing no mongrel
bred stallion to stand for service.
When accompany or person pays
from $500 to $4,000 for horse they
should be protected. Under our pres
ent no-laW-at-all,: at is only a matter
of four years when a horse Of pure
blood has stood in locality, that
there will be as many grade stations
as you have fingers in as many miles
in every direction. This is not true
in. all localities, but this statement
will hit more localities than it misses.
Thirty-five years ago can remem-
ber that almost one-fourth Of the
horses were blind. We have better
horses than in that day; we are be-
coming more educated, but like the
liquor question:. it takes more than
education to correct the evil. Strin-
gent laws of all kinds have been en-
acted to curb the liquor traffic, but it
still exists. If the eradication of the
mongrel bred horse is to be done by
education it will be a long way off.
That there should be a law of some
kind there is no doubt, but who is
going to take the first step? If the
Legislature Of Indiana would move
IN the matter, all owners of pure-bred
stations should get busy, In Ohio We
have to wait q year yet, as the Legis-
lature only meets every two years,
and this is the of year. In an article
in q week or two 1 will outline a law,
which believe would be efficient, and
the working Of such law prove q
boon to the horse business for genera.

sert your advertisement free, re-
ceived.
In reply we would say that We do
not use the same kind of pants that
bulldogs wear, and therefore your
"bulldog suspenders" would be of lit
tie or no use to US. However, to take
advantage of your offer, If at all pos
sible, we have consulted our bulldog,
and he informs us, his tail being
somewhat of a wag, that he does not
use suspenders to keep his pants up,
but manages to do that by running
after good advertisers, who appreciate
the cash value of space in our paper
and make offers. on money basis.
Such propositions as you offer
would, if accepted, be business sus-
penders for every publlsher VINO
would be fortunate at the end of the
year to possess trousers to keep up.
Note the difference between business
and bulldog" suspenders. One is a
calamity, the other the preventive of
calamity.
We are rot painting for advertising
contracts such as you offer, as they
would not only keep our pants in sus-
pense, but our shirts and payroll
also.
Thanking you for the offer and

The EARLY Military Band.

A little more than seventy years
ago there was no such thing as
brass band in existence. The very
first band entirely of brass dates, in
fact, no further back than 1885.
Prior to that time even our military
music was produced almost entirely
from instruments Of wood, and as
recently as 1888 full regimental
band consisted OF two oboes, two
clarinets, two horns and two bas-
soons.
AS showing the important part
played by the sounding brass" in our
bands to-day it is sufficient to mem
ton that in an up to date first-class
band of, say, forty-two pieces, there
would probablysb be found from eight
cen to twenty horns, to say nothing
of saxophones, which are partly clar-
met and partly horn.-Tit-Bits.
