Poultry Notes.
No food will make hens lay like, a
liberal supply of wheat in some shape,
and a regular ration ot green cut bone.
Remember that milk in any form
is good for laying hens. It contains
all the elements of egg food, in almost
the proper proportions.
We want our farmers to keep more
poultry and we want to hear from
those who are taking good care of
their fowls. Let us have your experi
ence. If the fowls have a free run, give
.thern alight feed of grain in the morn
ing and a full feed at night, and they
will find the extras during the day.
Sometimes hens are found dead
under the perches, while seemingly
fat and in good condition. Often the
trouble is that they are too fat and
die of apoplexy.
Every one who keeps hens knows
of one or two or more which are per
sistent layers. These should be bred
from as they will transmit their good
qualities to their progeny.
Don't fail to plant some sunflowers
this spring, for sunflower seeds are
the best single grain for laying hens
that can be given them, and it is sur
prising what a quantity can be grown
in odd comers. Ex.
"If you want to be miserable,
think about yourself, what you want,
what you like, what respect people
ought to, pay you, and what they
think of you." Ciares Kinsley.

Correspondents.
East Benton.
Last Saturday afternoon and night
the cround was thoroughly soaked
with rain. This locality was suffering
from a drought that was prevailing
from the excessive heat. The ther
mometer registered 90 for a success
ion of days.
Still the legislative thought lingers
on more offices and higher salaries
despite the protests of the people. It
would appear that we have a legisla
tive oligarchy instead of a republican
form of government.
Benton borough is independent and
happy pardon us of the thought, for
we did not say it, and saury. So,
neither did we mean it. The gener
osity of that people was truly manifest
ed in the settlement and division of
borough and township affairs week
before last. An amicable adjustment
was effected by the township and
borough officers, of which both feci
justly proud. The best of feeling
prevailed and all seemed determined
to do the riht thing. Neither wished
to take advantage of the other. Now
then, borough people, we wish you
the best cf success in your new enter
prise, as we have " acknowledged your
independence."

Division of a Fraction.
Editor Columbian.
Dear AW ; There appears to be
a difference of opinion in regard to
the division of fractions methodically.
Some weeks ago X said, " To say
that i is contained in J, times is as
meaningless as it would be to say 2
is contained in 1, J times." In a
later issue X. Y. Z. said, "For
instance divide one by two In my
opinion the answer would be 2 is
contained in 1 J times &c." The
question of division of fractions has
not been consided concretely in
these articles. X. Y. Z. said last
week. " the cround work of division
' is to make a thing smaller, and in all
questions of this kind value is not
taken into consideration." Now I
ask X. Y. Z. In the division of Jj, by
J, why is the quotient larger than
either the divisor or dividend ? It is
not a question of dollars and cents.

The trouble with

we do not lead nat

society is especially
culpable in this way.
It i3 really a wonder
that women are as
healthy as they are.
Very few women get

no exercise ot all.
Modes of d reusing

der thut nine women
in ten are troubled
with some derangement or irregularity in
the action of the organs distinctly feminine.
Neglect and wrong living will show them
selves first in the most delicate organs of
the whole body. With such weakness and
sickness so prevalent, it is to be expected
that the bcuring of children would be
fraught with dread and danger. It should
not be so, of course. Nature never meant
it to be 00. The performance of the high
est function of which a woman is capable
should not be accompanied by pain. If
perfectly natural living were the rule, it
would not be so. As Uvea are lived, some
thintf else must be done. A remedy must
be found. I'or over thirty years. Dr. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of

DUN'S REVIEW OF THE STATE OF
TRADE.
I'l'SINI'.SS IS REVIVING.
NEW ork, May 10. R. G. Dun
Co.'s Weekly licutrm nt Trml
&
10 morrow win say :
The event of the week is the demor
alization of foreign enchange, caused
Dy enormous sales of bonds abroad.
besides a sale of S10.000.000 Man
nattan and other railroad bonds
through the syndicate, large purchases
on ioreign account have been record
ed for some weeks, so that the aggre
gate probably exceeds $50,000,000
since the sale of the government's.
Safety for the summer means much
for all business, and the syndicate
deems it so fully assured that it dis
tributes 40 per cent, of the money
advanced by the associates, which
release a large amount to stimulate
operations in securities and products.
Crop prospects also have greatly im
proved and this is of still higher im
portance, as it will do much to deter
mine the character and volume of all
business after summer uncertainties
are over. In addition business is
reviving, though the gain in great
industries is retarded by many strikes.
The volume of business represented
by exchanges for the first full week of
May is 27.2 per cent larger than last
year, and only 17.2 per cent less than
in 1893, but bond and speculative
operations have soswelied transactions
here that the gam of 14 per cent over
last year outside New York is for the
moment a closer indication of general
business revival. Railroad earnings
are also better for the last week of
April, exceeding last year's by 10.8
per cent, and the loss by the month
compared with 1893 is only 11.7 per
cent.
The successful bond transactions
caused flames of speculation wlr.ch
had been dying out to blaze up fierce
ly. Stocks have risen an average of
$1.75 for railroads and 52 cents for
trusts, and an easier money and safety
for the summer seem assured, with
ground to hope for good crops and
larger earnings, the rise being on a
more substantial basis than before.
The output of iron still exceeds the
consumption, but has fallen 1,578 tons
weekly in April, to 156,554 May 1.
Bessemer pig has been raised to
$10.90 at Pittsburg, and the general
demand for finished products does
not equal the recent output, but is
distinctly increasing, bars and sheets
selling more largely, though structural
specifications are disappointingly slow.
The most noteworthy gain is in orders
for steel rails, 30,000 tons for the
Pennsylvania and 50,000 for a West
ern road.
The fai'ures this week have been
227 in the United States, against ao6
last year, and thirty four in Canada,
against forty two jast year.
Ex-judge John W. Wescott of Cam
den, N. J., was assaulted in his office
last Saturday morning t)y a man nam
ed Milliette. The latter claimed that
Wescott had insulted his daughter
whom he had sent to collect a small
bill, by ordering her out of his office.
He returned with his daughter and
demanded an apology which Wescott
refused on the ground that he had
said nothing requiring an apology.
Willieth then struck him with a heavy
cane in the face.
Judge Wescott tried the case of
Burrell against the P. & R. railroad

Bi'ttor Times In Pennsylvania.
The Pittsburg limes, which is too
emphatically a Republican paper to
be suspected of any desire to glorify
a Democratic administration even by
inference, has been taking a business
I,
rnci.i rr ta-pnlusiv counties ill

the business condition in tnat section
compares with last year. The coun
ties included are Allegheny, Arm

bria, Cameron, Centre, Clarion, Craw
ford, Erie. Payette, Forest, Hunting
don, Indiana Jefferson, Lawrence,
Mercer, McKcan, Mifflin, Potter,
Somerset, Venango, Warren, Wash
ington and Westmoreland, and the
chief industries agriculture, coal, oil,
tanning, lumber, iron, steel, machin
ery and general merchandise.
With the exception of Cameron,
which is a lumber county with its lum
ber exhausted, all the counties and
nearly all industries in these counties
report greatly increased business ac
tivity. The coal and coke plants of
Fayette and Westmoreland, the fur
naces and rolling mills of Allegheny,
Armstrong and Cambria, the oil wells
of McKean, Warren, Forest, Venan
go, Clarion, Butler, Allegheny and
Washington, the lumber and tannery
interests of a dozen counties and the
farming interests of all the twenty six,
report increased activity and a hope
ful outlook for the future.
Coming down to particulars, all
who want work are finding employ
ment and the wages in many establish
ments have been advanced. Those
who are idle are those who choose
idleness or the inefficient who always
find it difficult to secure employment
because of their inefficiency. Better
than the acual resumption of business
where idleness recently prevailed is
the hopeful spirit which pervades the
public mind in this section, which
comprises more than one-third of the
State. There is a general belief that
the end of hard times has been reach
ed, and people are going about their
business with a confidence which is in
itself the best assurance of prosperous
times.

There is good reason to believe, how
ever, that the conditions reported in
the counties canvassed by the Pitts
burg Times are general and that a
canvass of all sections of the country
would reveal the same general ten
dency. The newspapers of other
States that will take the trouble to
make a canvass similar to that made
of the twenty-six counties of Western
Pennsylvania will be almost certain to
chronicle a similar state of affairs.
