THINGS ABOUT GUINEA FOWL
Birds Make Excellent Substitute TO,
Game and Many Big Hotels Serve
Them as Pheasants,
(By MRS. A, JOsEpH.)

(By MRS. A. JOSEPH)
The demand for guinea fowls grows
stronger every year and is increasing
as people become acquainted with the
good qualities of their flesh. Those
who have learned to appreciate the
flavor of the flesh of plump guinea
are not slow to express surprise at
the fact that the excellent qualities
of this bird have not been more wide.
ly recognized.
It is true that the cook book fails
to refer to them at all and yet there
is not the least question but that
they are superior eating to either the
duck or the goose.
The young fowl are best broiled,
while the older birds may be cooked
by any recipe devised for the cooking
of chickens, and in any case the re-.
suit is far more palatable.
The flesh Of the guinea is rather
dark, but is finely grained, possessing
gamey flavor. For this reason the
fowl makes an excellent substitute for
game and many hotels in the larger
cities serve it for pheasant. The eggs
are also much relished on account OF
their rich flavor.
Every family in the country should
keep a few guineas, If for no other
purpose than for a watch" for the

Rifle Till Of $55.15.

Butte. With their revolyers
drawn, two masked bandits rushed in.
to the Bismarck bar in the heart of
the business district and, after forcing
the bartender, porter, lunchman and
eight patrons to lie on their stomacEs
with their noses touching the floor,
rifted two cash registers of their con.
tents, amounting to $55.15.
The hold-up, which is believed to
have been committed by the same ban.
dts who have been terrorizing saloons
Of Butte and vicinity for weeks, was
the most spectacular and daring that
has taken place in months. Those
who were forced to lie face down
in front of the bar declare that the
saloon resembled morgue while the
hold-up was being perpetrated.
After getting the money, the hold.
ups admonished their victims to make
no cutlery while they escaped. Rush.
ing out of the back door one of the
men as a warning fired his revolver,
the bullet striking wall. The ban
dts escaped in all auto which was
waiting for them.
One Of the features of the hold-up
is the fact that the bandits overlooked
$500 in a drawer and 1000 in the
safe. This was due to the presence
of mind of Joseph Duclos the bartend
err. When Duclos saw the men enter
he mingled with the guests and
dropped to the floor at the first com.
mand. Then, withdrawing the keys
to the money drawer from his pocket,
dropped them into a cuspidor.

In this state they are called the watch

The high, shrill notes which they
possess will quickly put to flight any

after night no prowling animal or
person can approach a house where
guineas roost without arousing their
discordant cries of alarm. Their senses
of smell and hearing seem to be very

The time required for Matching
guinea eggs is twenty-eight days. The
guinea is naturally wild bird pos.
sessing a strong instinct to wander.
For this reason it is better to raise
the young birds under hens as they
are more careful of their young than
the guinea hens, and great deal OF
trouble to get them to behave like
