Agricultural Electricity.


The proprietor of numerous small
farms in the Western Pyrenees, Spain,
having an area altogether of nearly 1900
acres, has for some time past been
utilizing neighboring stream for cleo
trio lighting purposes. He has now ap-
piled electric power to the working of
wine-crushing plant. Besides providing
the power for lifting and driving purposes
electricity is made to work the pumps
for irrigating the vines. One hundred
and eight sixteen n-candle power lamps are
distributed all over the farms, and the
area which they cover may be judged
from the fact that the length of telephone
wire connecting the buildings is sixty
two miles. Another notable application
of electricity to agricultural purposes has
been made in Hungary, where, on large
farms, gram is thrashed out by night by
means Of movable light apparatus, driven
by the locomotive of the steam thrash
ing machine, in order to complete the
thrashing more quickly. Strange to say,
however. the manifest tenefts Of this i'm
proved method have been taken advan-
tage of to only relatively small extent.
In view of this fact Baron Won Steiger
Munsingen has taken the trouble to ex-
plain the advantages Of thrashing by the
electric light on the basis OF actual
figures as obtained from his own practical
experience. lie has given very full
statistics on the subject, and shows that
to begin with there is very considerable
saving in time. 1t appears that thrash
ing season of forty-fve calendar days
with the aid of the electric light is equal
to seventy-one calendar days with day
light alone. Thus there is clear saving
of twenty-six days, or, in round numbers,
q month. CHicg0O Neles.

THE FLEET.

It was long ago that my dream ships sailed
Day by day to that shadowy sea;
And / watched each one til my vision failed
And the ships we're lost in mystery.
Sometimes a rose-hued and billowy cloud
Shut out my view ere the ship went far,
But often the darkness would seem to shroud
The vessel before she crossed the bar.
They sailed at the sunset, every one;
They sailed away on the ebbing tide.
Sometimes q brave vessel went out alone,
And again two sailed forth side by side.
left them alone in the hands Of Fate;
Prayed she would make them reality;
And many time Oil watch and wait
Fer my feet to return from the sea.
Then my last ship sailed-for my dreams
were done
And grisved that my ships came not
back.
But only last night at the set of sun
saw a mast oer the wastelesS trac;;
And the twilight mists gave away all made
A pathway lit with the sunsets ! an;
And ship sailed in through the twilight
shade,
And brought back to me a youthful
dream

The Sap-Sucker.

A great many useful birds have been
DESTROYED on the erroneous charge that
they are in some way wholly detrimental
to the farmers interests with no compen-
sating habits, and twice as many more
that are admitted to be useful in some
degree, in the mistaken belief that on
the whole they are the authors of mcr0
harm than good. In the first category
may be named the sap-sucker that is
commonly considered fair target Tor
every oody's gun, on the plea that he is
continually injuring young fruit trees
for the purpose of feeding on the tender
bark or sucking the sap, as popularly
supposed. This is the head and front OF
his offending, for it is never pretended
that he seriously Injuries fruit or grains.
Close observers, however, arc fully
convinced, that the little bird in ques-
ton does not make original holes in the
bark of the tree at which it is pecking,
but that all its efforts are directed to de-
stroying and devouring the borers that
are concealed in holes already existing,
which the birds have not made. At the
very worst the bird does no more than
in some cases to widen the hole enough
to allow its beak to reach the worm.
As good an authority as Cassius M.
Clay is on record as saying, from his
own study of its habits, that the sap
sucker is the deadliest foe of the vermin
which destroy cur trees, and that every
one should encourage the multiplication
of sap-suckers. rs.-St. Louie Republic.

more giving the strangers CHEEKY wei
come, in which, though crestfallen, Peter
Joined heartily. AS he stood before Ha-
bakik, saying it had been fair fight
and we'll won, he saw the pretty Juliana,
her big brown eyes watching the blood
flowing down his face with look Of con-
Germ in them that no bright young Eski-
mo man could mistake. She was just
outside of the group of villagers, and
her father and brothers had run down to
help draw the strange oomiak on shore.
Juliana, catching the eye of Peter,
turned her head very quickly away, and
then the long disappointed lover reached
her side with jump, picked her up in
his arms, and fled away in triumph to
his fathers iglu. and there they re-
mained till the rest were through with
the feast.
A week later the moon was full.
Juliana received from her mother new
scraping knife and new butchers knife,
and from her father lamp made Of a
hollow stone. The white trader gave
her a very fine, large iron kettle, a coffee
pot and a great quantity of bright
colored goods, and beads enough for a
new collar foot wide, which, under the
circumstances, was very decent thing
for the trader to do. Juliana, as was
said, was very pretty girl. Then Juli-
ana and Peter went to the house of the
native preacher, and in the presence Of
all the people were married according to
the Lutheran service, for nearly all
Greenland Eskimos are Lutherans.
When Julana had married him Peter
went to live with his mother-in-law, ac-
cording to the usual Eskimo custom.
Eskimo wits never make jokes about the
mother-in-law. 1t would not be in good
form. The Eskimo mother-in-law rules
the household. She can even command
divorce, the process being simple one.
She orders her unacceptable son-in-law
out of the house, and when he obeys, as
he always does, she throws any personal
property after him that he may have left
behind. Both the young people are then
free to marry again.
The Eskimos do not marry cousins. A
man could always have as many wives as
he could support before the Danes dis
couraged polygamy, and it was the rule
for man TO take one of the sisters OF his
chosen sweetheart. 1t is said that the
old practice is still adhered to, though
without the sanction of any religious
ceremony.
1t occasionally happens that a newly
married couple do not begin housekeep-
;ro ut opce-cach instead remaining
home. On the other hand, some young
men set up a separate establishment at
once by building a new iglu or house.
Even then, the husband is not unlikely
to have his wife's parents come In ana

Der. and in front of that the young wife

The bridegroom is expected to make
present to his wife's parents, even when
he has to fight to get her or when ne is
betrothed to her in early years. In the
old days he had to buy her.-Ne" f0rS

w. G. Langdon, state veterinarian, in
speaking of the care and treatment of
sheep, makes the following observations,
which sheep-raisers will do we'll to bear in
mind:
I would recommend dipping at least
twice. allowing ten days to elapse before
being dipped the second time.
The following is very effective dip:
To make 100 gallons of the dip, take 20lbs
of common tobacco stems, 20 pounds of
sulphur, 5 pounds carbonate of potash,
and boil the three ingredients together in
100 gallons of water, slowly, two hours,
keeping the quantity of the mixture up to
the 100 gallons by the addition of water
occasionally during the time it is boiling.
Then strain and add two pounds of carbo-
lie acid chrystals, when it is ready for use.
This does not injure the wool, but it leaves
it clean and white.
This preparation costs little more than
the lime and sulphur dressing commonly
used, but it is enough more certain in its
effects to pay for the difference:
When dipping place one hand over the
sleeps ears, and the other over its nostrlls,
when it will close its eyes, then immerse it
entirely, allowing the head to rise instant
ly above the surface of the liquid, but
keep all other parts submerged from one
minute to ninety seconds, scrubbing light
ly the scabby places with scrubbing
brush.
You will be disappointed in the use of
anv dip unless your work is done thor
Ou9hly.

M1ssouLA, Mont, April 8.
EDITOR LEADER: I promised to write
you an account of our journey, and about
the "Garden City" of Montana. We had a
very pleasant journey and enjoyed the
sceneries very much. This side of Dick
inson we found it very hilly until We got
beyond Billings, where we first saw the
Rocky Mountains, most of them being
covered with snow. It is not very green
out here yet, but last Tuesday, the 7th, we
had heavy rain which gave the new grass
start.
There are mountains all around MissOula.
The city has six churches, two schools (the
Catholic and public school and two hos
pitfalls, the st. Patrick's and Railroad hos
pitfalls. There are two east-bound and two
west-bound trains running daily. The city
is adorned with many trees, some being
fruit trees, but the great majority are
shade trees, which help to beautify the
city. The mountains are covered with
pines and evergreens. Mlssoula borders
on two small rivers, the "Rattlesnake" and
the "Missoula," the former emptying into
the latter. On the other side of the Mis-
soula river is Fort Missoula.
Missoula has population of over 5000
inhabitants, with a good many brick and
granite blocks, and number of quite
large stores. Your friend,

Coal Harbor. N. D., April 18.
Editor Leader: AS your correspondent
"Gal." has retired from sending Coal Har
Dor news, I ask an indulgence of the Lead
er's readers for some news in and about
this corner of McLean's vineyard.
Farmers are very busy plowing and
seeding. The ground was never in better
condition than now, as our late spring has
made it. Farmers are in good heartan
anticipate good crops, and your informant
is very happy with them. Some farmers
who have been away and tried their hands
in different avocations, are now returning
in time to SOW seed in the valuable soA of
this, our own "Garden county of North
Dakota" Where is the climate or ssEs 'as
are the grasses grown that beef cattle Can
be taken from the ranges, having had no
other feed all winter but the wild grass of
the prairie, and shipped to the eastern
markets and bring such high prices as has
been done this last winter by our genial
ranchman John j. Robinson of Coal Har-
Dor? And moreover, the cattle were SO
large that the cars could not carry the
standard number within two head. Horses
can be seen every day about this place
that have run on the ranges since they
were colts land the mothers before them),
and all looking as if they had been stabbed
all winter with large rations of oats every
day. There are people who have wintered
stock here who formerly wintered their
stock in Montana, and they are willing to
say there are no better grasses grown than
here in Mclean county.
The enlargement of the county is giving
general satisfaction, and as people con-
slider the justness of the measure the more
they appreciate the far-sightedness of our
member from this county.
The "grip' is yet rampant and is no re-
spector of persons-lighting upon those
who least want it. Geo. Hefner stopping
over night at Bartron's ranch on Snake
creek was attacked by it, and next morn
