aStefeaai mxg&ui HALF A CENTURY OLD. Rhode Ulniid GooNf Una Flffn th# I'et of a Idiotic Inland Fwrm 112 <*r 51 Yearn. Priscilla is a goose, and she's proud of the fact and takes great delight in her age. More than half a century old, she is the property of Thomas It. Drowne, of Foster, It. 1., who marked her fifty-first birthday not long ago. with a unique entertainment. Fifty one guests were present. The refresh ments were frozen pudding in the shape of Priscilla, little candy geese and goslings of angel cake. Priscilla strutted around from guest to guest arching her neck inquisitively. In 1852 Priscilla was born. Her "hatchday" is established beyond dis pute, for she burst her shell on the same day that a baby girl arrived in the Drowne family. Priscilla was hatched when geese were good proper ty. She was one of a brood of three, the others being a goose and a gander, brought into the world beneath the warm feathers of a hen. The three be v, r ; '' ' " J GOOSE FIFTY YEAUS OLD. came known as "Aunt Sarah's cado geese," the adjective indicating that they were raised by hand. Priscilla grew up into a handsome gray bird of the old-fashioned New England type, shorter of neck and leg than the geese of to-day, when goose culture has produced many varieties, but sturdy and amiable. When she reached maturity she was plucked for her down, and this operation was re peated for 45 years. She learned by experience just what to do when picking time came and would settle down in the picker's lap without a movement or struggle while the feathers were being removed. A few years ago Mr. Drowne ceased to pluck Priscilla's feathers, preferring that she retain all her strength and live as long as possible. She now pos sesses as elegant a covering as any goose in the country, her feathering being a pure white and very smooth and even. She has witnessed the decline of the goose industry unmoved, attending all the time her own duties, bringing up a flock now and then and laying eggs until within about five years ago. Her brother and sister passed into the goose hereafter a few years ago, and Mr. Drowne got another goose and gander to keep Prisc-illa from feeling lonesome. The three may be seen any day on the Foster farm. Unlike some geese, Priscilla is amia ble and of equable temper. How long she will live it is impossible to say, but to all appearances she is as strong, active and healthy now as in her salad days, two score years ago.—N. Y Her ald. POULTRY YARD POINTERS. Market the roosters as fast as they are large enough. Wherever you are or whatever you are at, keep a few hens. Ducking broody hens merely shows that you need a ducking, too. Spend very little time in doctoring, or trying to doctor, sick hens and chickens. A feed of whole oats in the evening will answer for grain for the hens dur ing the hot weather. There is no wild breed of fowls to which the Cochin or Brahma can be traced. The game cock seems to be descended from the Cingales Jungle fowl.' Cropbound is the result of overfeed and underexercise. Mild cases will yield to teaspoonful doses of castor oil. Severe cases call for cutting open the crop and removing the undigested contents. Diarrhea in fowls Is often caused by the dropping being left under the roost ! until they are damp and sometimes wet, worse than damp, and the poor hens breathe it all night long. It poisons their blood and dysentery follows.— Midland Farmer. Rata In Poultry Hoaxes. If the poultry house is in such condi tion as to allow rats to run under the floor, the farmer may as well give up the poultry business. They are worse than any disease the fowls may have. When the house is built it is very easy to put wire netting, such as is used for the small chicks, under the floors. If you have not done this, another easy way to keep out rats is to putin a cement floor. It may cost a little more than fixing up the wooden floor, but it is safe agtinst j rats, and a wooden floor is not. If wire mesh is putin with the cement when the floor is laid it will be all the better. HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS. H#n to Construct m. Ilrnllj t'sefiil not Valuable Bee, Drone unci Queen Sifter. The bee, drone and queen sifter 1 wish to describe has been used by th« inventor, Mr. Hannemann, of Brazil, i in some form or other for a great many j years. The way I have constructed it is this: A lignt open box, the size of the hive body, was covered at the bot tom with a sheet of queen-excluding zinc. A cover was hinged to this box, and also covered by the same material This device comes handy many times when unexpectedly a swarm is found hanging in a tree. Many, who do nol wish to increase their colonies any more, may sometimes be puzzled to know what to do with such a swarm. They might wish to return it. PrrticU' IMPROVED EEE SIFTER. iarly In case of late swarms, buck wheat swarms, etc., such as would not be able to fix up for winter in good shape, it is always best to return them. I have come home occasionally from the work in an outyard and found a swarm hanging on a bush, although I practice clipping. In such a case I would at once proceed to shake the cluster of bees into my sifter, and shake and shake until all the beers are in the air except the imprisoned drones and queen or queens. Of course, the bees would soon go back to their old home, and could be located. The bee-keeper, says Gleanings in Bee Culture, will find this sifter con venient to use at other times. The occasions will present themselves sooner or later, and I need not say any more about it. VARIETY OF MORALS. Contained in Till* Story of a I*«inltry» inn II Mho Thoiiiclit lie Was Wi*er Tlimi Providence. Once upon a time a farmer had a hen that laid a golden egg every day. The farmer chuckled as he witnessed the daily increase in the visible supply of gold. But he was not satisfied. "That durn hen works only ten min utes a day. If she cackled less, spent less time scratching for worms and kept to a continual performance of laying down gold, I would soon be the whole thing in the millionaire line and would make the United States Steel company's income look like a deficit. I'll fix her." So he bought barrels of the kind of patent food which is guaranteed to "make hens lay," anchored the hen to the nest, and put the food within easy reach. "Now, get busy," he said, as lie went away to dream of automobiles and luxuries. But the hen grew fat and lazy and with much groaning and travail man aged to accomplish just one egg a week. Her embonpoint increased, she suffered from gout and double chin; finally she gave up the ghost. The farmer's dream was ended. Moral: When you have a good thing, don't try to gooder it. An egg in the nest is worth two in the hen. A live worm is better for a hen (or human) than a peck of prepared food, if the worm has to he scratched for. And don't dream.—Keystone. COMPOSITE STOCK FOOD. ttcrman Preparation or Coni|ioanil iiicli C'un lie Preserved for Any Length of Time. In Germany, in connection with some of the slaughter houses, has been com pounded a stock food, that, it is hoped, will become both popular and useful. It is compounded of the chaff or hulls of grain finely ground, the husks of peanut kernels, molasses and steam dried sterilized blood. A per cent, of phosphates is also added to the prepara tion. These ingredients are thoroughly mixed and dried, and a certain portion of molasses (which has been heated to make it more liquid) is added. After this has been well mixed and dried, I another portion of molasses is added, and after the final mixing and drying, the preparation is ready for the market, and is sold in bags of ICS pounds' weight at $2.75 jjer bag, retail. The chaff is imported from America and the molasses is the product of the Ger man beet sugar factories. The dried blood meal, it is claimed, contains 20 to ; 22 per cent, of protein and fat, while oats contain much less. The assurance is given that this preparation can be pre- | served for any length of time, and that it will not deteriorate with age. In feeding horses and beef cattle, it is j advised to begin with one-half pound per day, increasing to five or six pounds, | and decreasing the use of other food ac cordingly. Permanent Sheep Pasture. The value of a permanent pasture for sheep has frequently been overes- ; timated. Whfle it is undoubtedly true ! that a pasture of this kind will support more sheep than a temporary field of grass, it is also true that sheep should 1 be utilized largely in cleaning up stub ble fields, tating rape sown in oats in the spring, and running in cornfields after the husking. By this means fer tility is much more evenly and profita bly distributed than if the she»p wt»re kept in jne neid all the time. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1903. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE-RU-NA. Pe=ru=na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen:--*" I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe~ ru=na and I believe with good effect. 99 W. S. SCMLEY== = Washington, D. C. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, un daunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. A CURIOUS CRAFT. ■•ckfrliMloii of mi I'linliiliultle Vc»««'l ISiiilt After tlodel Seen in u VI»lou by n Virginia I'reaelier. John K. Leeily, a Dunkard preacher, 7u years of aye, :t native of Roeking ltani county, Virginia, is without doubt one of the greatest believers in dreams that ever lived. Through what he claims to be a divine inspira tion he lias been enabled to invent the "Leedy unsinkable ship." Vsked liow he had come to contrive the ship, Mr. I.eedy replied: "Several years ago, just after one of the l»ig ocean liners loaded with human freight went to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and all on board were lost, I had a dream. In this dream 1 talked with an angel. The messenger of 'God painted a large picture of a ship and commanded me to set about and construct such a vessel for the good or mankind. "I thought but lit tof the dream until two or tiiree nights afterward, when the angel again appeared and directed nie to do as 1 Tiad been told, and for a second time a large picture of a ship, which was to be my model, was painted. 1 gave the matter more serious thought on the following day, and for several nights thereafter my dreams were of nothing but the ship. I read my Bible and found certain passages which told me I must get to work. The result of my labors is what will be known to the world as "Leedy's unsinkable ship.' "•You ask me to describe this great life-saving invent ion. "The hull is comprised of an outer and inner casing, the inner easing composed of copper plates, soldered together, thus making it water and air tight. Between the outer and in ner casings from a short distance above the lower deck there is placed a filling of coal tar or some other suitable material. The lower deck is composed of two layers of metal soldered together, thus making the hold of the vessel air-tight. "Between the ribs of the vessel and between the outer «ind inner casings above the lower deck are empty spaces which are adapted to be closed by air-tight coverings, and communi cating with these spaces are air tubes for supplying and compressing air in the spaces, the air being supplied by an air-compressing engine oil the main deck. "On both sides of the ship and out side of the hull are arranged a ser ies of bags which can be run up and down the sides of the vessel by means of a chain and pulley on each side. Should the ship run on a sand bar or rock these bags may be sent to the bottom of the ship, and there filled with compressed air, thus lifting the ship off the bar or rock. The coal bunkers and various other compartments above the ship are adapted to be transformed into com pressed air chambers at will, so it is seen that, even though the ship should spring a leak of a very serious nature, her bilge pumps and many air chambers would prevent her sink ing. Her hold, on account of its air and water-tight construction, would be a vast air tank that would be im possible to sink." THE MARKETS. New York, Oct. 17, 1903. Flour—Firm and held higher.

Fr«re«*or of Thlragu In! vcmitv Sny« flic 1 Ml* of (lie Ni'iv I'ooil, Lecithin, Increase* Uron lli VO Per Cent. The <ig-e of the race of giants is about to be ushered in again. Hence forth there will be no pygmies, for] a wonderful food substance lias been! discovered that makes men and aiii-. mals grow—grow fast and large. The myths that have come down j from ancient days tell of races of, giants which inhabited the earth or dwelt in the islands of the sea. His-| tory, as constructed from old rec-1 ords and folks lore, is filled with j stories of Goliatlis and Sampsons, to I s;iy nothing of Hercules. Science has proved that the animals of the earth were once far larger than at present.! The giant races may all return as | the result of tlie newly discovered food substance which stimulates! growth so rapidly. The new food is I lecithin, its wonderful qualities have I just been demonstrated by a series of experiments conducted by Ur. Shinkishi liaitai, professor of neurol ogy at the University of Chicago. Dr. Ilaitai experimented with white rats-, and by feeding them lecithin made them grow 60 per cent faster than rats grow ordinarily. And this under conditions of atmosphere and general surroundings that were unfavorable. The scientists say that lecithin will have a similar etl'ect on human be-] ings. Lecithin is nil organic phosphorus j containing body found in various i animal tissues. It is a brown, butter like substance, with an odor like that j of rancid fat. The results of Dr. Haital's experi ments, which he puts forth through the American Journal of I'hysiologv, . are in part as follows: The white rats that received lecitli- j in, either by intramuscular Injection or by the mouth, gained in body weight more rapidly ih.in those which ' did not receive the food, the average i gain being 'ill per cent greater than 1 was noted in the rats fed oil plain grain diets. The relative weight of the central nervous system of the rats treated j with lecithin was normal. The nervous system of the rats , treated with lecithin contained the same proportion of water and solids : as those of other rats. The professor's experiments show, | therefore, that ihe growth induced by j lecithin is normal and healthy, it i stimulates all parts and organs of ihe body exactly alike, thus acting un-i like other stimulants, which affect i different organs of the body in differ-1 ent ways, A thief love* honesty as a hungry men love* j steak, and for the taiue reason- —that he feeiia j upon it. —N. 0.

The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened, that so many men of national and international reputation have been to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won 011 its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'f'g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature 011 catarrh.
