Heroic Training.

Concerning a region in Tibet an au thority says: "The only satisfactory feature about the peoples condition was their fine physique and their agreeable. cheery disposition under the most depressing conditions, Their su. perior stature and build are accounted for partly by the fact that the day after their children are born their mothers carry them to the nearest stream and plunge them into the wa ter, even In the depth of winter, when the temperature is often down to 10 or 20 degrees below zero. Infants which survive this heroic ordeal are then smeared thickly all over with grease and exposed for several hours every day of their young lives in the open air, so that they may grow up strong and hardy and fit to defy all weathers, which the majority of them are certainly well able to do."

MAYOR IN TROUBLE.

Gold Hill is again torn by munic-
ipal strife in which great many of
the citizens are pitted against the
city council in their action in ap-
pointing Dr r. c. Kelsey of that
city as mayor to succeed L. c. APP
plegate, who resigned July /. The
result is that petitions are about the
city which would refer the action
Of the counci, to the people and thus
afford a chance to oust Kelsey.
According to the opposition of the
council, the matter is a very tangled
affair and not at all in accord with
the wishes of majority of the citi-
zens of Gold Hill DR.. Kelsey, they
claim, was made the nominal head
of the Voters League prior to cleo
ton, from the fact that he organized
the league and took the leading po-
sition. The league, they assert. OBJ
tanned a promise from Kelsey that in
no case would he be a candidate or
accept a position under the council
OF the city. When election time came
both the Voters League and the reg
ular party agreed on the name of L..

The Guinea Fowl

The Guinea is good layer, but the
eggs have wild, gamy flavor which
makes them very undesirable for table
use. There is a good profit however,
in turning those eggs into table poultry
The Guinea is of roaming disposition,
and great destroyer of insects.
The laying season begins early in
April and lasts until October, the hen
laying as many as 120 eggs i'll a season.
On account of her restless nature, the
Guinea hen should not be allowed to
hatch brood until after the first of
July, as she will be more quiet during
warm weather. and can be safely en-
trusted with a brood.
1t requires four weeks TO hatch the
obscure place. AS she comes off the
nest she gives a shrill cry, and i'll that
way the hiding place may be detected.
All the hens of flock are apt to lay in
the same nest. In taking away the eggs
they should not be touched with the
hands, for if the hen discovers that the
nest has been touched she will desert it
and hunt another place. But if the eggs
are removed with stick she will not
leave the nest, even though the eggs are
taken out nearly every day.
1t is said that a cross of the Pearl and
White Guineas will produce a carcass
closely resembling that of the English
grouse. If rightly cooked, the meat of
even all old bird will be tender and deli
cious, while that of the young bird is
unsurpassed as broiler or fryer. The
dressed Guinea has a round plump
body, good sized breast and small bones
Guineas will pair if sexes are equal
They generally lay between the hours of
10 O'Clock in the morning and 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon. Until we'll feathered,
Young Guineas are delicate and tender
1t is not advisable to hatch before June
The Guinea cock bird cares as much for
the young as does the hen, guarding
them during the day and lowering over
them at night.
The male bird is larger than the fe-
male, is more aggressive, and has a diff
ferent call The hen makes a noise
sounding like come back, come back .
while the male give tick, tick" The
CRY of the Guinea is one of warning to
the rest of the poultry, and they at once
hide until the alarm ceases.
Guineas do not scratch as other fowls
10. and therefore are safe to have i'll the
garden. They should be given their
freedom, as they do not thrive III con
finement.
