Poultry House.
Lansford, Dec. SD. Keefe, living
southeast of this city, is now enjoying
the light and heat of natural gas from
his own gas well. He was drilling for
water on his farm when the drill went
through two feet of Ignite coal and
dropped into the strata of gas sand.
The well was Immediately capped and
R. Wray, of this city, went out and
installed the gas in the house, barn
and poultry house.
MIR. Keefe will confine the use of
the gas to his own purposes. AS the
well tested 63 pounds to the cubic
inch, it would seem that he would
have heat and light from this source
for years to come.

ting Practical Experience.
Valley. City, N. D.. Dec. .16.-The
normal department Of domestic sci
has undertaken to furnish warm
meals for the students who are com.
PEELED to bring lunches during cold
weather. For the small cost Of 10
cents q week to cover the cost Of food,
each child is served with m warm
dish every day. They bring their
lunches and tables are spread and a
warm dish added by the domestic SCI
ence department. In addition q teach
er remains with the pupils and SUPER
intends their play in the gymnasium
or amuses them with story telling. The
plan works admirable and has created
an interest In h luncheon hour which
never existed therefore,.
The plan is' being impressed upon
the minds OF the students in the rural
course and 1t is probable that 1t will
be adopted by them when they become
rural teachers. The plan could be ear
ried out in a country school and at q
very small expense. The outlay for
equipment would be meager and the
school board or the parent could fur
nish the material for at least one
warm dish every day. 1t is contended
by the normal management that the
warm dish aids digestion and is con.
0uctvo to health.

distribution of seasonable goods at re-
tail. while jobbing trade has been con-
fancy articles suitable to holiday re-
