Small Advance in Meat Prices

Chicago, Aug. 2O-The maximum
increase of meat prices since the war
has been three-fourths of a cent a
pound, according to statement to-
night by Armour (: Co., contradicting
charges made by Representative
Ware of Pennsylvania, in the house
yesterday. Mr.. Ware was reported
as saying that while meats in this
country have jumped 81 a hundred
pounds since the war opened, Armour
contracted with England last week
for 100000 cans of canned beef.
"We have not contracted with En-
gland for canned meats of any kind,
either Immediately before or after the
breaking out of the war, nor have
meats advanced 81 hundred pounds"
said the Armour statement "Docu-
mentary evidence, which we are tend
ering the department of justice, will
show the maximum increase to be
approximately til; ee-fourths of cent
a round.'
'rhe statement continued that Cana
da's tariff OF s. hundred pounds
was prohibitive. and that the packers
for some time had imported from
Canada, not exported.

Dogs Increase Assessment

Helena, Aug. 12.-For the first time
in the history of Montana, dogs ap-
pear on the assessment rolls of the
state. ]. ]. Ryan, clerk of the state
board of equalization, has received
the assessment lists from all of the
counties in Montana except Toole and
Carbon. Returns on dogs show an
assessed valuation of $3.50. This dog
valuation is not very large, but it
helps in bringing the total increase
of the assessed valuation of Montana
$25,O0O,OOO above the assessment of
last year.
Excluding the railroads and Toole
county, the total assessment this year
is $332,54O,323, as against $3O8. 132,-
096 last year. The railroad assessment
last year was more than $4,000. 900,
and it will be larger this year. Mr..
Ryan estimates that the total assess.
ed valuation this year will be s41o,-
100000.
The largest increase in value has
been in real estate other than city
or town lots, it being $4,000, 900.
There has not been any raise in val.
uation, but there has been a large
increase in the acreage which is sub
ject to assessment, the increase being
about 100000 acres over last year.
There is an increase of $50O,O0 in au-
tomobiles and an increase in livestock
of 100000.

Want Pay for Exports

New York, Aug. 2O,-Every shin

glish ports these days sails light.
though England is begging for food
The liner Celtic left today with
5000 tons of food stuffs in her hold
when she might have carried 10000
tons. The Kroonland left the other
day with 4,500 tons and room for
5000 tons more. The Adriatic, st.
Paul, New York, Philadelphia and
others of the 13 ships Of the Interna.
tiona1 Mercantile Marine, which have
departed for England since the war
started, have ridden high in the water
because OF their lightness of cargo.
Other lines tell the same story.
Paradoxically, the storage ware.
houses in and around New York are
choked with supplies for which Eng
land is offering fancy prices.
The reason why none of this food
is going to England, officials of the
transatlantic liners assert, is because
American shippers have no assurance
that their drafts will be honored in
England promptly, and are unwilling
to send their products abroad with
nothing more tangible than a hope
that they will receive prompt pay.
ment for their goods. Tons and tons
of merchandise, these officials say,
are held in check against the time
when arrangements will be made to
enable purchasers to pay promptly in

Europeans who have immigrated there
during the past four centuries. This
belief is only partly true. The popula.

Some Valuable Hints on Poultry Rails

ing.
Select a location that has natural
drainage away from the building.
A dry, porous soil, such as sand or
sravelly loan, is preferable to a clay
soil.
In most localities the building
should face the south, as this insures
the greatest amount of sunlight dur
ing the winter.
Allow at least square feet of floor
space per bird.
Proper ventilation and sunlight
mean a dry house and healthy birds.
The partial open-front house is con-
ceded to be the best type for most
sections.
The colony plan of housing poultry
may be adopted to good advantage on
many farms. This system does away
with the danger Of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, feet inches from the
floor, with a, dropping board about 8
inches below them.
Good roosts may be made Of by
inch material with upper edges round
ed.
The nests may be placed on the side
walls or under the dropping boards. 1t
is best to have them darkened, as the
hens prefer a secluded place in which

tage cheese: wheat, oats. corn barley
ETC.; lettuce, cabbage, kale. mangels
alfalfa, clover, sprouted oats, ETC.; grit
and oyster shell; water.
A splendid mixture for laying hens
is equal parts Of cracked corn, wheat
and oats, which should be scattered
in the litter.
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases the egg
yield.
Provide or inches Of good, clean
litter in which to scatter the grain.
Cabbages mangels, potatoes. sprout-
ed oats, etc, make excellent green
feed.
When wet mashes are fed, be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture Of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread, or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread and
milk are used, care should be exercised
to squeeze all milk out Of the bread.
From the third or fourth day until the
chicks can eat wheat and cracked
corn, commercial chick feed Is good
ration.
Plenty Of pure, fresh water, grit,
shell and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
There is very little danger Of over
feeding young stock.
Feed the chickens about five times
daily, and only what they will eat up
clean in a few minutes, except at
night, when they should receive all
they want. o."
Infertile. eggs are produced by hens
having no male birds with them.

the hens.
The hens greatest profit-producing
period is the. first and second years,
and unless hen is an exceptionally
good breeder she should be disposed

son and before starting to molt.
Few eggs can be expected until the
pullets are matured.
II possible, mark the bullets that lay
In the fall, and use them in the breed
ing pen for the following spring.
Soft-shelled eggs are often caused by
fowls being confined, becoming over

while, became more and more, discon-

Finally Gall determined to break
away. He assembled about twenty
families Of insurgents and planned to
steal away from Sitting Bulls camp
and surrender to the United States.
The plan was discovered and Sitting
Bull denounced Gall. That intrepid
warrior decided upon bold play. He
jumped on platform in the village
and called upon all to choose between
him and Sitting Bull. Nearly two
thirds Of the population went with
Gall.
Sitting Bulls popularity now sank
to it's lowest ebb. Every day q. few fol-
lowers left him. He was I'm despair
when he saw q chance to reinstate
himself in power. A young Indian in
Montana was acquiring considerable
notoriety then by announcing that the
second coming Of the Messiah would
mean freedom for the Indians. Sitting
Bull decided to use this as lever to
regain his prestige. He became an
agency Indian and then retired to the
hills to fast and pray. In few weeks
gaunt and haggard, he returned and
announced a vision. Elaborate cere-
monies were held and from 1000 to
5000 Indians moved their tepees near
his lodge. His word became law
again. The government decided to ar
rest him as a means Of preventing
trouble. He resisted a detail Of Indi-
an police and in the resultant melee
Sitting Bull was killed by revolver
shot from the hand Of one Of his own
tribesmen who had followed Gall and
become a member Of the Indian police
