HOW TO MANAGE.


A writer in the New York Times tells
how to manage chickens as follow:


10 begin at the beginning, the hennery
must be thoroughly cleansed from lice,
which lurl in every crack and Granny of an
old and neglected establishment. This can
be done easily by burning some birthstone
in the hennery with all the windows and
doors shut. Of course the hens must be ex-
cluded during this fumigating process, and
should not be admitted till each one has
had a good dose Of powdered sulphur scat
tered on it's back feathers and neck feathers,
with little under each wing, and some in
the crest of the crested order. This pro-
cess Of publication and dosing will drive
the vermin away, and no mistake but to
make assurance doubly sure, we prefer to
whitewash the hennery, mixing with the
whitewash little carbollc acid We also
put little sulphur into the box of coal
ashes which we keep in the hennery for
busting bath for the hens. Since we have
adopted this plan we have not founda louise
on our hens or chicks. They delight to get
INTO this bath, and it is delight to us to see
them kick and stretch around in it, and oh,
what dust they kick up! This dust set
ties into every crack and nest, and the lice
have not the least chance for life. If they
can breed anywhere, it is on the bens while
sitting, and if there is any fear of this put
little pinch of sulphur directly on the sitting
hens.


Keep the air of the hennery sweet and
pure by frequent removal Of the droppings,
and by always having good ventilation.
Fresh water also is as essential as nourish-
ing food. The first thing sitting hen goes
for when she comes off her nest is water,
and if she is deprived of it she will certainly
become diseased, and will be very likely to
impart her disease to the chicks she broods.
We need not speak of the value of sunlight
in the hennery, for we never saw but one
| hen house built on the north side of the
barn, where the SUMS ameliorating influ-
ence could not be felt. and in this solitary
instance we could find no hens. They
probably preferred death to incarceration
in such bleak place, and had committed
suicide.
AS soon as the chicks are hatcl,cd they
should be cooped up in some sunny, shell
tered place outside Of the hennery, and fed
for a few days with hard boiled egg chop
ped fine. Egg is what the chick lives on
during the process of incubation, and the
change Of diet should not be too sudden af-
ter Matching. A few dry bread crums may
be mixed with the egg after a day or two,
and at the end of week the egg-food may
be suspended altogether, and pudding OF
milk, oatmeal and wheat bran substituted
Milk. next to egg, is the most natural and
nourshing food for chick. We never had
chickens do better than when brought uE
mainly on skinned and clabber milk
Cooked food, too, we have always toun6
more nourishing than uncooked. AS the
chicks attain some size and it is desirable to
prepare them tor broiing, corn-meal may
gradually take the place of the oatmeal.


The coop should have no bottom boards
for it is pretty essential that the mother her
as we'll as the chicks should come in con
tact with the ground. The structure Of th

THERE is some diversity of opinion as to
which is best in Montana, drilling grain or
sowing it broadcast. Drilling is certainly
preferable for winter wheat, and it is gain
ing in favor tor spring sowing. The seed
thus sown is all buried, and being put in
deeper, comes up better on dry land. Still,
broadcast sowing has its advantages, AS
with light covering the grain comes quicker,
and grain well distributed In broadcast sow
ing, is thought to be best by many. All
things considered, we favor using the drill.

HAY-MAKING is now far spent and fine
ricks of hay dot our valleys in every direc-
ton. The yield has generally been good
and the season having been fine, hay is in
unusual good condition, and if ricks are
properly topped out the seasons labor will
prove a profitable one. 1t is essential that
ricks be retopped and Strengthened up as
soon as settled, and as we may look for
rain at least by the 10th of September this
righting up of ricks should not be neglected.
No effort Of course has been made to pre-
pare feed for the stock of the territory ex-
cept that in service and that needed by cat
tie and sheep men in case Of an emergency.


THOUSANDS of acres Of grain are now
ripe and ripening on our several valleys,
and hundreds of reapers and self-binders
are abroad sweeping it down. Farmers are
busy and will continue to be until after
threshing is over. Some are making haste
to get their products on the markets before
there is decline, and as most farmers must
have some money to pay Off hands, there is
some danger of rush such as will greatly
cripple the markets for some months, but
the bulk of the grain will not be disposed
of except at prices that will pay.

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. As we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore 1t will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short d time, no Elatter how good the buyer. The facts in the case are Just these: It is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy more.

s1-From the Shreveport (Ia.) Times,
we get the following:


The Boston Post closes an article on
tho interview between John Il. Miner
and Grants district attorney, Stewart L.
Woodford, MS follows: alt has often
been said in disparagement of Governor
Tildcn that he did not exhibit sufficient
pluck and energy in asserting his rights
after the election. He knew then a.
well rs now that had hc taken the oath
Of office and assumed to act as president
another war was dead certainty, and
ono that would deluge the whole land
with blood, the end Of which no man
could forscc. A man Of his shrewdness
also must have been advised Of the con-
templated movements of Grant, and that
an attempt to enforce his rights with no
organized military force to support him
would necessarily prove abortivc, moro
especially since the friends of Hayes
were in possession Of tho government,
and their leaders willing if not anxious
to involve the nation in another war.
Tho country can hardly estimate truly
the danger from which the wisdom Of
Gov. Tildcn delivered us or the debt Of
gratitude due him. Sooner or later We
shall have more contcmporaneous histo-
ry on this subject. but this, which seems
authentic will do for the present"

that kerosene is an exceedingly harsh pre-

cases of genuine diptheria destroys. what
little chance the patient has of recovery


His theory is that diphtheria can only be
overcome by vitality and that kerosene so
derar ges the stomach as TO impair further
its already overtaxed energies to supply
necessary nourishment and strength to the
enfeebled system. Another physician at
the east maintains that the disease Was
never known until after the oil wells in
Pennsylvania were discovered; that the
cases are more severe in houses where
kerosene is used, and in short, that kero-
sene may be the cause of the disease Eek.

The meeting of the Agricultural Society
of Stevens County at the Court House last
Saturday afternoon was rather slimly at
tended. 1t was determined to hold the
county fair on Friday and Saturday, the Sd
and 4th days Of October. Also to appro-
pirate fifteen dollars for the purpose of pre-
pairing the race couse for a trial of speed
of horses on that day. This sum is evil
dently inadequate for the purpose, but it
was expected that those persons who had
fast nags to train would donate something
for that object


After the business of the meeting was
disposed of speeches were called for from
Messrs. Mumfoad, Bevans, Overton and
Perry, in behalf of the interest of Agricul-
ture, to which these eminent agriculturists
responded in some humorous remarks
wherein they displayed the fact that they
knew great deal of ignorance on that i'm
portant subject. Col. Mumfsrd praised
quality of beans which he was raising, as
being economical and likely to go great
ways in family they were so tough that
it was difficult to eat them. He also allud
ed to his cabbage mines" very briefly.
Mr.. Bevans spoke very highly of the assist
ance his early corn had received from the
black birds, they had helped it come up,
clear out of the ground, by the roots. Ma
jor Overton had a crop of beans and corn
of which he was doubtful, the best evi-
| dence he had of the quality of his corn was
that the cattle came from long distance,
over a mile, to eat of it. Judge Richard
son declared that no botter sign could be
given of the corn than the fondncss of the
cattle for it. After this assurance from so
high source the Major went on to say
! that he had not tried his beans, although
he declares that he knew beans," but as
soon rs he had eaten them he would go be-
fore the society and make report. Mr..
Perry gave brief history of the methods
employed by mankind in planting and har-
vesting grain from the time Adam was a
little boy until the present day, and offered
to read speech of Gen. B. F. Butler on
! the subject, but this was declined by the
society, who declared that the principal
product of Buffers raising was Gain. "
Mr.. Mcpherson and other farmers were
called upon for remarks, but as they were
really horny handed practicle men. and
knew something about farming they did
not deem it necessary for them to say any,
thing All of the speakers intimated that
they would bring some samples of their
productions to the fair, if the executive

The per cent Of mortality in boston
from Diphtheria was SO, which, curiously

cent in Wheeling to the whole number Of
cases has exceeded that OF either OF these
places.


The point we have in view in referring
to the Boston Board OF Health report Is to
show that the ground taken by the physi.
clans here in their memorial to Council,
in regard to the great cause OF the mortal.

the correct one, as is abundantly shown
