Death Of Archie Turgeon.


Our village was thrown into a
state of excitement and sorrow Sun
day at about 4:30 pm, when it was
learned that Archie Turgeon, one of
Island Ponds brightest young men,
had lost his life while bathing in the.
lake. 1t appears that he and one of
his companions, Earl Norris, had been
out canoeing, and after coming
ashore decided to go in bathing near
the boat house at Brown Basin.
They had been in the water about 80
minutes when they started towards
shore, and when nearing same Earl
looked to see if Archie had reached
shore; as he was not in sight he
asked several boys on shore if they
had seen him; they replied they had
not. He then became alarmed, and
found all the assistance he could; all
the available boats were put into
service, graphing hooks procured,
and the toWnspeople worked un-
ceasingly until far into the night,
but no trace of the body could be
found. Search was again resumed
early Monday morning, and at about
10 am. the body was found in about
Is feet of water. An eXaminat ion
was made and no definite Gauss as
to death could be found, but II is
thought it was possibly due 70

mourned by them. Although his
presence among his young associates
will be missed, there are none that

as his poor, heartbroken father,
mother, brothers and sister, who are
left to mourn the loss of the baby of
the family.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday at 900 am, at the Roman
Catholic church. at which high
mass of requiem was celebrated by
Rev. c. D. Trottier, interment being
made in the old Catholic cemetery.
The funeral was under the direction
of G. G. Smith and the pail bearers,
o. Lacroix, j. st. Pierre, A. Sey-
mour and j. Murphy, who were for
mer associates Of the deceased. The
many beautiful floral offerings that
surrounded the casket and the large
attendance at the services testified
to the popularity in which Archie
was held. In this hour of sorrow the
sympathy of all is extended to the
bereaved family.

CONTROL OF CHICKEN MITES
Unsatisfactory Growth In Summer May
Be Caused by Vermin-Destrue-
tive Work at Night.

When well fed and otherwise prop
erly managed, chickens do not always
make satisfactory growth in summer.
There is a cause for this which may
be wholly unsupported. 1t is likely to
be due to the presence Of chicken
mites.
This pest is a bloOd-sucking para
site. II harbors under the perches, in
cracks, and in other places. Its de-
structive work is done at night. When
the chickens are at rOost the mites
crawl from their hiding places on to
the birds. They gorge themselves vita
blood much the same as a mosquito
does, and then crawl back to their hid
ing places.
If this pest is not discovered 1t
multiplies into millions In a few weeks
Of hot weather.
II the mites become numerous, they
win suck more blood from a chicken
In a single night than the chicken can
produce the next day from the diges-
ton and assimilation of the most nOur
ishing food. And since the blood car
rles the assimilated food for the
growth of the different parts Of the

m~ethylated spirit for heating the
nights feed has advanced from 10
cents to % cents n pint.
Baby garments cost more also.
Everything made Of wool has risen 80
per cent in price; all the cotton and
wool mixture materials and garments
are 20 per cent higher, the wholly cot
ton ones, owing to the rise In raw
materials and labor, must be paid for
at the rate of about 10 per cen more.

The following were among the re-
plies received by the United States
Department of Agriculture to the
question, "What is your method of
feeding and preparing geese for mar
ket:
Vincent NJ. Couch, Moravia, N. Y:
To fatten gOslings, cOntine, and after
five to six weeks make cOrnmeal the
principal feed; add some beef scraps,
and allow them to have some grass.
OF the large breeds, they should weigh
from 10 to 20 pounds at ten weeks old /;
and market at this age. Reserve the
smaller breeds until holidays.
F.. D. Fowler, C|arlinville, Ill. ;
Market geese are kept closely confined
and fed three times n day by measure :
Bran 2 parts, shorts 1 part, Oilmeal
and beef scraps 1 part, cornmeal
l part, dampened with water so 1t
will crumble. Whole cOrn is some
times given. Green food, grit, and wa
ter are always before them.
B. f. HislOp, Milford, ILL.,: To pre-
pare for market, as soon as weather
becomes cool, confne in small lots.

with milk If convenient, otherwise wa

to keep in health, increasing grain I'M
til they have all they will eat, twice
a day, forgetting plenty Of wa
ter and a box of grit. By the time the
goose market is on, say from Thanks
giving to New Years, the birds will be

ket price. To dress them, kill same as
other poultry. Commence to pick the
coarser feathers and most of the down
off as soon as the fatal stab to brain
Is given and bleeding commences.
Then sprinkle and rub well with pow
dered rOsin, scald and rub down off
quickly, plunge body in hot water then
cold, wipe, and hang up or lay on table
to cool before packing.
Mrs. NJ. Swartsley, Columbus, Neb. {:
To give size and flesh, 1 feed half corn
meal, one-fOurth ground oats, the bal
ance barley meal and wheat middlings,
all mixed together with scalding water
or milk, and feed as much as they
will eat four or five times daily, at
all. times providing plenty of water.
NJ. b. Caldwell, Broughton, Kan. :
AS soon rs our gosiings are grown up
we turn them I'm the hog pasture-ten
acres Of alfalfa-and they feed on al

body, there can be little or no growth
so long as such a condition continues.
The time and the labor of the poul-
tryman, as well as the feed consumed,
are thus practically wasted in the pres
ence Of chicken mites.
During the summer every precau.
ton should be taken to keep the pens
and roOsting places free from mites.
This is not a difficult matter. The
mite is a very small parasite, bare
ly perceptible with the unaided eye.
When not gorged with chicken blood
1t is l~ight-colored. 1t becomes red
when 1t has gorged itself with chicken
blood. For this eason it is sometimes
called the "red" mite. But this pest
is so d~elicately constructed that 1t can
be easily destroyed by spraying with
kerosene or whitewash.

forms continued, although there was a
tendency toward a narrower, longer

Finds Ancient War Club.

"As is the case of Sun Temple, the
walls Of this building are two or three
feet thick. Double walls extend all
the way around the building, probably
for purpose Of defense. Probably a
roof will be put over this building,
hut IT is the intention to make the COW
ering strictly modern and not to at
tempt to conform to cliff dwellers or
mesa dweller type.
at is Doctor Fewkes' intention to do
some work this season on Mummy
lake. which has been the cause of much
speculation. 1t Is the general opinion
that Mummy lake was II reservoir sup
plying water to the group Of buildings
I'm the immediate vicinity and perhaps
mart Of an irrigation system. The
mound is circular and has n depression
in the middle. The structure covered
by earth evidently is double walled
and of great Size"
Doctor Higley entered n cliff dwell
ing which, It was supposed, never had
been explored before. 1t was neces-
sary for him to be lowered 90 feet
over the side of a cliff to get into the
building. He found that n Of the
Wetherllls and a companion had been
I'm the building In the eighties, about
the time the cliff dwellings were dis
covered. In this building Doctor Hig-
lev found an implement which Doctor
Fewkes pronounced a sort Of war club
I II consisted of a stone to which was
attached a short handle. II is the
first implement Of warfare to be found
in the cliff ruins and has excited
much interest.

Building a Distinct Type.

9hNNaNNNA -
Doctor Fewkes has made a wonder
full discovery this season in Mesa
Verde National park" said Doctor Hig-
ley. "He has uncovered a new type
of building. The ruin which Is now
being uncovered is situated about thir-
ty rods south Of the large circular res
ervoir known as Mummy lake, which
is close to the automobile road leading
to Spruce Tree camp. Everyone who
visits the ruins has Mummy lake
pointed out to him.
"There are nine large mounds near
Mummy lake and 1t Is n of these
that Doctor Fewkes has excavated this
season. Probably 1t will be late In
September before the work is complet-
ed. The building is rectangular IN
shape and the masonry work Is not so
| good ms that in Sun Temple, which Doc
tor Fewkes e%xcavated last year. Doc
tor Fewkes Is Of the opinion that the
building which is being eXcavated this
season is much older than Sun Tenn
pie, which probably was built ABOUT
1900 A. d. The building on which
he Is now working evidently was In
hablted, while Sun Temple was not.
The workmen are finding broken pot
terry in great quantities and household
implements as well. Evidently the
building was covered and was very
Imposing.
about a dozen men are working
on the building and all are keenly
Interested, feeling that valuable dis
coveries may be made at any time. The
building represents n distinct type, EN-
tirely different from the cliff ruins,
themselves, which are built In caverns
I'm the cliffs. The buildings around
Mummy lake were built in the open
much on the lines of modern struc'
lures. The building being uncovered
commands a view for many miles In
all directions, and for this reason II
has been suggested that the ruin be
named Prospect House.
