School Text Books.

Little Falls Transcript: The pres
ent legislature is expected to enact
some laws in regard to free text books
for children, and we trust the mem
bers will not disappoint the people in
this respect. 1t should be the duty
of the public to supply pupils with
all the means to obtain an education
with books as well as with teachers
and school rooms. 1t is doubtful how
ever, if the free unlimited giving of
books would prove as satisfactory as a
system of selling at cost and redeem
ing at the same price if the pupil ex-
ercises due care In using the book.
When the book is again sold to pup
il the price should be reduced to cor
respond with the estimated decrease
in value by its former use. If it again
receives ordinary usage it is again re-
deemed at the price paid, and when
sold the price is again adjusted to its
then value. By this means the books
cost the child nothing if he is reasona-
bly, careful, and the public stands the
expense of the use ofthe books.
To give the books to the pupils on
demand and with no influence aside
from their own dispositions, to exer-
else care in their use, would in many
cases make the plan too expensive. By
selling and redeeming the pupils have
no expense, but do have constant in
terest in caring for the property in
their possession. Regulations should
be adopted whereby pupils whose par
ents or guardians are unable to pro-
cure books even on these terms might
be supplied. The trivial cost when
procured at wholesale rates. of slate
and lead pencils, tablets, ETC., makes
it questionable whether the pupil
should buy or the district furnish them.
AS these articles are consumed by
their use, and as value to them
might prevent wastefulness, it is prob
able that in supplying them at cost
price the public is doing quite fairly
by the pupil.

Double Cahhed Engines.

At the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad company's shops at
Utica eighty men, mostly skilled me-
chanics, are employed. AT the present
time they are working on a peculiar
locomotive known as the culm burner.
The engine is queerly shaped, having
two cabs, one for the engineer and one
for the fireman. Under the boiler and
firebox the machine has six large driving
wheels. The weight of these great
mogul engines is between thirtyrfive and
sixty tons each. They are made to haul
heavy freight trains. The machinery is
SO arranged that the steam is never ex-
hausted. They are valuable also for the
reason that their fuel is the refuse coal
from the mines, which could not other
wise be used without great loss. AL

Where the Sun Never Sets

Northwest Magazine: Webster's
eloquent description of the British
empire is very readable, but we doubt
whether it is generally realized that
we too have dominion on which the
sun never sets. 1t will hardly be be-
ieved, perhaps, without an examina-
ton of the maps, that San Francisco,
instead of being the west line of this
dominion, is only about midway be-
tween our eastern and western limits,
and yet it is fact that the farthest
Aleutian isle, acquired in our purchase
of Russian America, is as far to the
west of that city as Eastport, Maine,
is to the east of it. Between the north
west limit of Alaska there is break
of few degrees, but with the slight
est reduction our territory extends
through 100 degrees of longitude, or
IL degrees more than half way round
the globe. Hence, when the sun is
giving its good night kiss to our west
ern isle on the confines of the Behring
Sea, it is alrerdy flooding the fields
and forests of Maine with its morning
light, and in the eastern part of the
State is more than hour high. At the
very moment when the Aleutian fish
erman, warned by the approaching
shades of night, is pulling his canoe
toward the shore, the woodchopper of
Maine is beginning to wake the forest

Rare FOrtitude in a Dog.

Many of the sportsmen of Whining
ton will perhaps remember Sailor, the
fine pointer dog of Mr.. J. A. Brown, of
Chadbourn. He was an extraordinary
hunter and retriever, with almost hu-
man tact, and his owner valued him at
several hundred dollars. A few days
ago this fine dog was run over by the
train at Chadbourn, and his left fore leg
was crushed off, leaving piece of the
bone protruding:
Mr.. Brown hated to kill his valuable
and faithful dog. SO he got DR.. A. Nc
Kinnon to amputate the crushed mem
ber. When the operation was perform
ed Sailor obeyed the command to lie
down, and never even gave a whimper
when the work was done. The poor ami
malls muscles were contracted with
pain, but with few sympathetic ca
resses from his master he lay perfectly
still until the amputation was perform

Stock Raising in Minnesota.

A recent bulletin from Uncle Rusk's
Department of Agriculture has the
following in relation to farm stock
in Minnesota. 1t is especially true in
relation to horses, cattle and sheep in
Stevens county:
The increase in the number of
horses during the past year is very
considerable, while the importation
has exceeded that of last year. Blood
mares are now common to the farm,
and farmers have raised many mare
colts. The Clydesdale, Percheron,
Belgian, Englishshire and Cleveland
bay are the breeds mostly patronized
by the farmer. The mares on the farm

They require hilling up instead of hav-

Three tons Of pulp are equal to one ton

the pulp so dry that it will keep

The farmer who sells the beets can haul

The government not only pays

The ewes should be served by the
rams during December SO that lambs
will come about June. This is a most
important matter and personal attention
should be given to it by the flock master
in not allowing excess and exhaustion
by the rams. Overwork means barren
ewes and loss of lambs. See that the
duty is performed during the day, and
keep rams and ewes separated during the
night, for both should sleep. Thirty
ewes are about all any ram should serve
in one season. Both should be in good
condition, otherwise weakly progeny will
result. During this season they should
not be needlessly handled or driven.
Peace, quietness and kindness will tend
to produce docile lambs. It is not a
good plan to allow the two to run to-
gether, for the rams become ugly and
fight each other, and buck the ewes,
often to their injury. Make study of
the business of breeding if you desire
success. A haphazard way of doing this
will not pay.

An Autumn Picture.

Now round red roofs stand russell stacks arrow;
Homewayd from cleaning In the stubby wheat,
High overhead the harsh rook saileth slow,
And cupless acorns crackie meath your feet.
No breeze no breath, veereth the oasthouse
hoods,
Whence the faint smoke floats fragrantly away;
And In the distance the half hazy woods
Glow with the barren glory Of decay.
Vainly the bramble strives to drape the hedge,
Whose leafiess gaps show many an empty nest,
The chill pool stagnates round the seeded sedge,
And as the sunset saddens in the west
Funereal mist comes creeping down the dale.
And widowed Autumn weeps behind her veil.

Thousands of sheep for breeding pur-
poses have been already imported from
Montana. No doubt some ewes are toe
old for this use On this account soias
disappointment will result. A promi-
nent stock raiser of the Mouse River
country states that band of 1000 ewes
was brought into western North Da-
kota by an inexperienced man, who dis
covered when it was too late that they
had no teeth wherewith to gather their
food An experienced flock master
would have discovered this before pur-
chasing,
Montana sheep faay be hustlers, but
they do better under shelter dufiag
stormy or cold weather than in the
snow and rain, and water is better for
them than snow to quench their thirst,
and hay IL superior to husks and brush
to make flesh and wool, No doubt
good many Of these Rew eomers
to the Dakotas are old ewes and
weaklings culled from large focks, and
had they not been sold fair share
would probably have died this winter,
and they may anyhow, unless extraor-
dinary care istaken OF them. This warm
ing is given and the utmost caution is
urged upon every new man who has ems
barked in business he knows but little
about. Uniesa you give extreme care to
your flock this winter, next spring you
may not have very high opinion Of the
sheep business.
Every farmer should keep few
sheep, If only for domestic use. Mutton
is most desirable meat, as il is good in
any form-roasted, baked, boiled, fried,
stewed or hashed. It has woolly taste
only when the sheep is run down in
flesh through starvation.
IL you are not familiar with the bust
ness of handling sheep, go slow, Be-
cause small flock is profitable do not
imagine that large ones are. More dan
gers menace large fiocks than the small
ones near the house.
The observance of some general
rules or system is necessary to the
best success in establishing profitable
band of sheep.
Only ewes of one ean6 Two years should
be bought.

they are free from scab or foot rot.
