EXTRA EXPRA!l

OF course some OF the sensstionalistf
had TO put Alexandra iu the Leon
SipeI murder case just for excitement Of
the thing, Sc will be seen from the fol-
loving telegram f'Om this city to a
Washington paper.
"A Ohinamsn resembling William
Leon, wanted by the New York police
for the murder Of Elsie Sigel, was seen
ia this city Saturday night at $3.50
O'Clock, walking rapidly up King street,
unaccompanied. A! the time little ct
tention was paid to him. At 2 O'clock
Sunday motniug the same man, in cJm-
pany with another Ohinaman, both at
tired in American clothes and minus
their cues, were seen at Alfred and
King streets engaged in a conversation.
The streets, of course, we're practically
deserted at that hour"
This il truly ridiculous, but of course
meets the approval of those who read
anything sensational regardless of the
sensible probabilities.

A great many complaints are heard OF

COMMON SENSE

In Treating Ills of Live Sfocls

In handling livestock and treating
livestock ills, much common sense
must be mixed with medicine In
fact, many minor animal Ills may be
cured without resorting to medicine.
The writer has mare that became
stiff and lame in one front leg last
winter. We were told all sorts OF
things were the matter with her, and
many remedies were prescribed. We
had been away from home for a few
weeks and found that the mare had
lost the shoe from the lame foot and
that she had been confined in her stall
nearly all of the time.
To reduce soreness, the leg was
bathed in a water solution of salt and
vinegar, slightly warm. Each night
and morning the leg and shoulder
were given good, brisk rubbing to
stimulate good circulation of blood.
The mare resented the treatment at
first, but soon willingly permitted II

PRACTICAL WINTER HOUSE FOR
KEEPING POULTRY
I'm Constructing Care Should Be Taken Select Well
Drained Soil and Pay Attention to
Ventilation

In housing fowls in winter, care
should be taken to have your build
ing warm and we'll ventilated in such
a manner as to prevent all direct
drafts of air coming in contact with
the fowls, and at the same time do
away with the moisture and frost col
lecttng upon the ceiling and walls of
the house, writes A. E. Vandervart in
Farm and Fireside. 1t is much bet
ter to have cold, well ventilated
house than to have one very warm
and poorly ventilated, and your fowls
will be much healthier and lay bet
ter in the former than in the latter.
In building house, one should take
into consideration the climatic con-
ditions OF the locality in which the
house is to be built. A well-drained
soil should be selected, and avoid
building in hollow where water will
collect, if you do not want any
trouble. Many are partial to the open.

tors, and opening the windows on
pleasant days, form a perfect method
of ventilation, and practically do away
with all moisture and frost on the
walls and ceilings of the building,
and supply an abundance of pure air
free from drafts.
The house is divided into five pens,
each ten by fifteen feet. The parti,
tons are boarded up for a distance
of about two feet, and wire netting is
used the rest of the way to the ceiling
The doors between each pen are three
feet wide, and are covered with wire
netting. The dropping boards and
nests occupy the north side of the
building. The dropping-boards are
three feet above the floor, and three
and one-half feet wide, and extend the
width of the pen (ten feet). The
perches are made of two-by-twos
planed and with the edges rounded
These are six inches from the drop
ping-boards, and are hinged to tht

six volumes, and proofs of the first
volume have just been delivered tc
the author.
For many years, how many no one
on the mountain side or in Oakland is
able to say, Joaquin Miller has made
his headquarters on the big sweeping
table land on the very top of the noun

and as far back as the oldest inhabit

ported one or more youthful, aspiring
artists and poets. To house these pro
