CHICKENS NEED
HEAT AND LIGHT

Fowls that are wintered i'm cold
parts. OF the country, where the tenn
perature runs below freezing to 20 de-
grees or more below zero, need consid-
erable protection. When the cold is
so intense that the fowl is uncomfort-
able. n certain part of the heat and
energy from the food eaten is used to
combat this low temperature and the
food which is required for that pur-
pose cannot, of course, be used to
manufacture eggs. Therefore, the
construction of the house varies with
the temperature or part of country in
which II is to be used. thin and
partly open house is best for warmer
climates, but must have reasonably
thick walls and be capable of being
closed quite tightly on severe nights
in cold sections. 1t is comparatively
cheap to make house warm by using
several thicknesses Of inexpensive tar
paper, and if better looking struc-
ture is wanted, other methods can be
employed. In any event, the house
must be made comfortable.
A dark poultry house is unhealthful
and uncomfortable. There should be
plenty of windows to let in light so
that the house is bright and they
should be kept clean so that the sun
can shine in TO warm and brighten
the interior The direct rays of the
sun will kill every germ Of disease
that IL touches and that in itself Is i'm
portant. Too much glass Is disad-
vantage, because the house warns up
too much-in the daytime when the
fowls are busy and cOols down too
rapidly at night when they are on the
roOsts. Windows should have both
upper and lower sash so that they can
be lowered and raised to let In little
or much air according to the outside
temperature. If there is too much
window space reduce it; If there is
too little increase 1t.

Object Of Twenty YeaU' FruitIess
Search at Last Has Been
Rediscovered.

Spokane, Wash.-The "lost" gold
mine of the upper Salmon river dis
trict of Idaho, source for years of
mysterious wealth for its original dis
cOverers and cause of the death of one
of them, and the object of 20 years
fruitless search by their "legatee," has
been rediscovered, according to re-
port reaching here.
For many years two prospectOrs,
Hughes and Swan, went every spring
on a mysterious journey into the hills
Of central Idaho, and every fall re-
turned with quantities Of raw gold,
which made them the envied of every
miner to whose ears word of their
great good fortune had come.
Then one fall Hughes fell sick, and
Swan, his partner. was waylaid and
robbed of his summers toll in the
hidden mine and murdered. Hughes
died at length in poverty in this city.
The mine has been located, accord
ing to report from Lewistown.
Idaho, by two Jonson brothers of that
city. 1t is declared to be on trib-
utary canyon of Ramsey creek in the
upper Salmon river district of central
Idaho. The ledge proper is declared
to be from four to six feet wide. with
rich streak of quartz. in which the
gold Is easily visible to the naked eye,
four to six inches in width.

REBUILD NOTED GLASS PLANT
for Champagne Containers-De-
stroyed in War.

SOissons.-Structural steel is rising
out of the ruins at Cuffies, just ouside
of scissors, where the Wauxsot cham
pagne bottle works employed 200
workers before the war.
The frame work for the first three
units is up and by September, the own
ers say, the production Of champagne
bottles will begin again. A year later
a second furnace is expected to be
fred and in another year third will
be operating.
There was nothing else at Cuffies be-
sides the glass works. There remain
Of the old construction only few foun-
dations and here. and there q bit OF
solid masonry. The walls of the plant
were pierced and tunnels leading TO
the German trenches blasted through
the foundations and huge melting pots
by the Germans. The loss is estimated
by the owners at from 20,000,OO0'to a.
100000 francs.
Eight to nine million champagne bot
ties, more than tenth of the French
production, were made at Cuffies. It
was the second largest factory of it's
kind in France. There were ten In all,
and eight of these were destroyed.
This destruction contributed to the in
crease Of the price Of champagne bot
ties from 6 to "a cents during the war.

UNIQUE CEMETERY
TEACHES LESSON
Exhibit at Montana State Fair
Sent People Away
Thinking.
EpITAPHS DRIVE HOME TRUTH
Greater Convenience and Larger
Measure Of Comfort in the Farm
Home the Big Lesson Conveyed
by Miniature Graveyard.

Westinghouse was neat little
country cemetery. much like most lit
tie country cemeteries, yet there was
something queer about il. There was
the arched gateway and the customary
weeping willows by it. The clipped
hedge was like most cemetery hedges.
The tOmbstOnes were about the aver
there was something queer-even
shocking. Then You discovered what
il was. These were truthful tomb
stones ConsOling platitudes-"TOo
pure for EARTH" and haflike-fOund
no place. Instead. there were such
epitaphs as these: "Mother-walked
10 death In her Kitchen" Sacred to
the memory of Jane-she scrubbed
herself into eternity" "Grandma-
washed herself away" "Susie-swept
out of life with too heavy broom"
Made People Think.
The people who saw that cemetery
and there were thousands of them
may have been shocked for the instant,
but they came away with the thought
that one might be. better for seeing
such a cemetery. For. you see. ii was
miniature cemetery, three feet
square, and it was part Of an exhibit
at the Montana state fair. Such ievity
with the most solemn thing that man
kind knows could not be justified
merely on the theory that the things
said were true-but those who saw ii
came away with the belief that ii was
justified by way of keeping just those
things from being true. And that was
sthe purpose of the exhibit, placed
there by the agricultural extension de
partment of the State Agricultural col
lege of Montana. Ii was meant to EN-
phasiZe the need for home convent
ences. for lack of which many a farm
woman has gone to her grave before
her time.
Drive Truth Home.
There were other exhibits designed
to drive home the same hard truth.
One was a model showing a bleak
farmhouse on bare hill. AT the bot
tom of the hill ran little stream. and
by the stream were barns and cattle.
Struggling up the hill toward the house
with two heavy pals of water was a
bent old woman. And the legend was:
Convenient for the cattle-but not for
mother" Then there was farmhouse
with the water supply as it should be.
the woman in the yard sprinkling her
flower beds with q hose. And the in
scription read: Convenient for moth
er-and the cattle, too" Another
model showed q kitchen as it should
be, and another, a kitchen as 1t should
not be. And there was the legend: "A
long-distance kitchen shortens life.?
The lesson taught by the exhibit is
one that the state agricultural colleges
and the United States department of
agriculture are trying to teach by
every means at their command-great-
er convenience and larger measure
of comfort In the farm home.

PROFIT IN MINTING BUSINESS
Demand for Small Coins Brings In
Good Returns for Uncle
Sam.

WashingtOn.-The minting business
is q profitable one to be in, according
to the annual report of Ray Baker,
director of the United States mint,
made public by the treasury depart
ment. During the 1919 fiscal year, the
report shows. the government made 'SS,-
369.971 on its minting operations. OF
this amount $4,i36.700 was made
through the manufacture of nickel and
bronze coins.
Never before in the history of the
country has the demand for small
coins been as large as ii was during
the last fiscal year. Pennies minted
alone total 466, $4,000. or about 81
100000 pounds.
The melting Of silver dollars into
bullion also was one Of the largest
operations Of the year. More than
191, 100000 silver dollars were con-
verted into bullion during the year.
United States mints also made coins
for many other countries.
