GET HENS READY FOR FALL
PuIIets Should Be Separated and
Placed by Themselves as Soon AS
Possible In Fall.

AS soon as the sex can be deter
mined It IS well to put the pullets by
themselves. They will grow faster and
do better. In fact, they should be
fed differently from the cockerels, for
you will want to get them in shape
for early egg production.
Now, it is not well to force them
prematurely into egg production, but
II is best to get them in condition so
that they will begin to lay during the
fall. This is the harvest time, for it is
then that you will get the highest
prices paid for eggs. If you have
nice lot of pullets that are laying
during the fall and early winter you
will get splendid returns from them.
These bullets, as soon as separated,
should be given a clean house and
kept free from lice. If you find when
making the division that some of
them have lice, it should be we'll to
powder them and put them all in a
email house. where you can attend to
them before putting them in their
regular quarters. Feed plenty of bran
and beef scraps, and keep oyster
shells before them.
They will come along nicely when
away from the annoyance of the
eockereIs. and after they have become
lsed to their new home and see one
another they will grow like weeds,
and soon look like mature birds.

UnfaiIinq StimuIant.

Men have tried many things, but
still the tsk for stimulant-the
stimulant in use but requires the use
of more. Men try TO drown the float
ing dead of their own souls in the
wine cup, but the corpses will rise.
We see their faces in the bubbles.
The intoxication of drink sets the
world whirling again, and the pulses
playing music, and the thoughts gal
Looping, but the fast clock runs down
sooner, and the unnatural stimulation
only leaves the house it fills with rev.
elry-more silent, more sad, more de-
serted, more dead There is only one
stimulant that never fails, and yet
never intoxicates-Duty. Duty puts a
blue sky over every man-up in his
heart maybe-into which the sky
lark, happiness, always goes singing.

caIifornia Woman's GOOD SHOT.

While walking through the woods
near Cohasset, Mrs. w. II. Pillsbury
of Chico shot a large brown bear that
measured six feet from tip to tip.
Mr. and Mrs Pillsbury were walk
ing from their summer home near
Cohasset to the "Promontory," a
high point from which an excellent
view of the whole valley can be had.
Mrs. Pillsbury had a 5000 carbine.
Suddenly she saw a large bear COM
ing down the hill about forty yards
away. Its bear, shall l shoot it?'
she shouted to her husband Pills
bury answered in the affirmative and
his wife asked, Where shall l shoot
him" I'm the head" came the ans
wer. With deliberate aim the woman
fired, hitting the animal square in
the right eye, killing him instantly.
The hide weighed seventy pounds
and the weight of the carcass was es-
estimated at 800 pounds.-Chico Cor.

Party Conventions to Be Held.

Party Conventions to Be Held.
The next important political event
In the state will be the party conven-
lions, which will be held in Madison
the third Tuesday in the month on
September IT,
AT these conventions each party
will adopt platform which must be
ready to be made public by o'clock
Of the night of the day following. In
addition, state central committees will
be selected and chairmen elected.
The Democratic platform conven-
ton is likely to be interesting. The
platform adopted at the recent state
convention may be changed, especially
that part referring to the income tax
law. Many of the candidates nominal
ed throughout the state are opposed
to the plank as it stands and sharp
fight is expected. Judge Karel will
lead the fight
Another fight is expected over the
selection Of state chairman. Frank
B. Schultz, the present state chairman,
has been suspected of aiding the
Schmitz forces during the primary
campaign and it would not be surpris-
ing if another candidate for state
chairman should be proposed in
which event there would follow q con-
test second only to that over the in

P(1uLgRYnMES'

When did you whitwash the hen
house last?
Watch the perches and nests for
mites and lice.
On every farm poultry should not
only have place, but prominent
place.
The Indian Runner duck is not in
clined to fatten so readily as other
varieties.
If you overerowd your chicks either
by day or night, you are facing GER
tain trouble.
See that all poultry have shade
from the hot sun, and fresh, cool
water to drink.
Don't try to raise more chicks than
you can take care of. 1t will lower
the chances of success.
Sell the culls at once before the
market drops any lower. 1t is money
in YOUR pocket to do so.
Healthy. strong and vigorous breed
ing stock is necessary for quick grow
ing, profitable market birda

New Exhibits at Wisconsin Fair.

New Exhibits at Wisconsin : air.
A notable feature of the state fair
this year is the number of exhibits of
comparatively new varieties. In many
departments, such as dairy and live
stock, Wisconsin's fair for many years
has been recognized at the best. The
reputation will be more than main
tanned this year, as the dairy and live
stock entries far exceed those of any
former year, both in quantity and
quality:
But the exposition this year will
prove that Wisconsin's resources are
by no means confined. A dozen other
departments approach closely in stand
ards those which for SO long have en-
ioyed high recognition
Fruit, vegetables and grain will
make extraordinary showings. For
many years it was argued that Wis
consin never could be a fruit state
because Of its peculiar northern posi-
ton on the west and unprotected side
of a large body of water. Many farm
ers in early years tried to develop
orchards, it has been said, and failed
utterly because natural conditions
were against the fruit industry.
The last Is years has taught the
people of Wisconsin a different les
son, and there is no part of this state
that Is not capable of making q good
showing in horticulture, as is demon
strated by the entries for the state
fair this year.
The northern counties, where eli
matte conditions would be of greatest
consideration, are making showings
among the best. Many of the new
counties have made special appropria-
lions to prepare good horticultural ex-
hibits for the fair in the hope of ac-
complishing much in that way to dis
pei any doubts that Wisconsin can
raise fruit from the Illinois line to the
shore of Lake Superior.
Nearly every variety of staple veg
etable will be represented. The grain
exhibits come from every county, and
the standards of quality in many in
stances excel those of the worlds
greatest grain raising districts

State Fair Horse Entries Are Many
The horse parades at the Wisconsin
state fair this year will be of the
genuine Rosa Bonheur variety. The
entries show that in addition to fine
representation from the unexcelled
Badger stock farms, many of the
finest grand prize winners from all
parts of the United States will be in
attendance, many of course, for show
purposes only.
The display of draft horses will ex-
eel an ever held in the middle west
Many OF the horses, in addition to be-
ing exhibited for individual equine
merit, will take part in special attrac-
ton performances. For this. ~artc~sl
lar purpose severaktwo, four and six
horse teams have been listed Nota-
BILE in this class is the grand prize
winning six-in-hand owned by Morris
& Co., Chicago. This team has taken
prizes and medals in many parts OF
the country. This not only is a per-
fectly matched sextette of horses, but
the animals have been trained in dit
ficult stunts which require them tC
work individually and collectively,
with and without harness.
The entry lists now show $50 horses
and 531 cattle. The total number OF
exhibitors in the two departments is

Saws Deaths Are Needless.

Says Deaths Are Nce0ieSSs
That there was preventable loss of
over 10000 lives in Wisconsin last
year and that $4,000 people are seri
ously, and, to a great extent, needless
" sick in Wisconsin today, is state
ment in bulletin issued by the Wis
consin committee of the International
Congress on Hygiene and Demography,
to be held in Washington, September
% to %.
The loss is compared with the Ii
tanic disaster, in which 1874 lives
were lost. Upon the basis of an aver
age cost of $500 in doctors, hospital
nursing and drug bills and the wages
lost through illness, low estimate
of $4,000 is being spent or wasted
trough sickness each year in Wiscon-

Studying Needs of One Breed.

1t is poor policy for q beginner to
endeavor to keep several breeds OF
poultry. The probabilities are that he
will give them all like attention and
food, when they need to be treated
according to their natural dispositions
and peculiar needs.
The results are that he will favor
certain breeds because they do better
for him, when in reality the others
would have done just as well if they
had received the treatment which was
due them. Do not attempt too much,
but select a breed and then variety
and stick to them.
