Foster’s Weather for September. Foster, the weather prophet savs: September will be & very warm month with no killing frosts, except in the extreme north where light frosts may occur from the 29th of August in the far northwest to Sepß%mber 3d in the far northeast. During the last days of August and the Ist and 2nd of October frosts will do some damage in the extreme northern portions of the United States.and Canada. Locally the rainfall' will increase in many of the drouth districts and decrease where rains have been plentiful. Winter will probably come in late and a long warm period of fall weather, with an unusually beautiful Indian summer may be expected. : ' Playing Card Sale Regulations, Each pack of playing cards that is in the stock of any dealer on the morning of August 28, 1894, must be stamped by the dealer with a two cent adhesive reyenue stamp, designated as a stock on hand stamp, and the stamps must be cancelled by the dealer by his writing on each stamp the initials of his name and the date on which stamp is attached. . Failure to so stamp each pack of cards and to cancel each stamp in the manner prescribed, subjects the dealer to a fine of fifty dollars. i Dealers are required by regulations to makc a statement of the number of such cards on hand on the morning of August 28, 1894. This statement should be signed and sworn to, and be immediately sent to Wm. H. Bracken, U. S.. revenue collector, Lawrenceburg, Ind., with a remittance in payment of the tax, on receipt of which stamps will be forwarded to the dealér.

» Feeding Wheat to Stock. A bulletin on wheat as animal food has been issued by the agricultural department. It advocates the use of screenings and imperfect wheat as animal food and the placing of only the best wheat on the market. Equal parts of wheat and corn should, howevyer, -prove better for fattening animals than either of these grains alone. For growing animals corn is plainly not so suitable as is wheat and oats. When wheat and corn are the same price per bushel it is preferabie to feed the wheat and sell the corn, because wheat weighs seven per cent heavier than corn; and, secondly, because wheat is, weight for weight, an equally good grain for fat-' tening animadls and better for growing ammals; and, thirdly, because there is much less value to the fertilizing ele‘ments removed from the farm in corn than in wheat =~ Wheat should at first be fed m small quantities, and when possible be mixed with some other grain. The kest form in which to feed wheat is to roll or grind itinto a coarse meal. . - . A Trip to the Mountains. - MonTE Vista, Col., August 24, 1894. _Eprror BANNER—Thinking it might be interesting to some of the readers of your paper who have relativgs and friends here I'll jot down & few interesting notes of our trip up into the mountains. Our camping party consisted of the Milner-and Bowsher familes, Messrs. Lape, Damy and Harper, old Ligonier bovs. We started from my brother’s ranch in two wagons, one the old fashioned covered wagon in which the children were very proud to ride. We traveled across the prairie about fifteen miles with nothing of interest happening save an occasional shot at a rabbit or a- prairie dog; the dog generally having the worst of the bargamn. We stopped for dinner at Del Nortes a pretty little town situated at the foot of Lookout mountain on the top of which is the state observatory; on clear days we can see the building plain at my brother's place fifteen miles away. 'Leaving there we began to climb the mountaing®»although the ascent was so gradual you would hardly realizing you were getting higher. We traveled all day going through some very fine scenery, but the nicest was ‘when we passed a point of rock - where the road through was so narrow, the great boulders extending out over our head and reaching up over a hundred feet and all seamed and broken; they looked like they would tumble down any minute. About six o’clock we came to a large deserted house in which we stopped for the night. © We had splendid ‘accommodations, a nice fireplace, four large rooms for ourselves and one for the teams, We took supper and breakfast there - and then went about five miles farther where we stopped and pitched our tents. : : Just before reaching our ‘tenting place we saw two deers right ahead of us go galloping up through the small timber; Harper and Bowsher giving chase, they had a good shot, but the gun was only loaded for small game and didn’t bring itdown. We camped on Beaver COreek, a branch of the Rio Grande riyer, which afforded splendid fishing. Mr. Lape caught about three hundred fine trout du in_p:'tél’e time we camped. There waTl)lent. of game, such as deer, rabbits, squirrels and grouse. We only got one deer but it was a fine one. [ never ate nicer meat than venison steak. Some of our hunters took a hunt for bear one day ascending the mountain to the height of 11,000 feet. While up there they saw clouds and rain far below them. But they saw nothing of bruin whilé there; we took a walk, or climb I should say, up over the Box canon, a beautiful piece of scenery, the trail begins at the foot of the canon by the side of the stream ‘and winds up the edge of the rock tll it reaches the top, a distance of two hundred teet from the water; a misstep would send you down to certain death but' we guided the little folks up through with much caution. The view from the top down through the canon is grand. Well to return to the ‘‘yalley” the crops are good with plenty of moisture, it has rained some every day except ftwo since we came here two weeks ago. The farmers are harvesting their wheat now, My brother has oats higher than my head. Well hoping to be safely back soon I'll close. Yours respectfully, , ' - Mgs. CEPHAS BOWSHER. It’s just as easy to try One Minute Cough Cure as ‘anything else. It's asier to cure a severe cold or cough ‘with it.
