North Dakota produces everything,
from expert hose teams to No. l hard
wheat, but n of the strangest of her
productions is a chicken in the posses
sion of John Yegen. 1t has four fully
developed legs, four wings and two
distinct spinal columns. Mr.. Yegen has
the freak preserved in alcohol, and pro-
nounces it the strangest thing ever seen
by him. It wal Matched on Nudleman's
farm in Mclean county, but, %unfortu-
nately, lived just long enough to realize
it's terrible deformity and then died,
sooner than he tainted of it's, appear
ance by its kindred chicks. Four legs,
too many wings and two complete sets of

became tired of standing still and con
cluded to take a spin around the block,
merely for the fun and exercise of the
thing. Breaking loose, they turned
around, and started up the street on the
run. They passed in dangerous prox-
unity to Judge Wholesalers buggy,
which was standing near, AID then
turned the corner at Dietrich's old meat
market, continuing their journey
through the alley by the freight Office. A
happy thought seemed to force itself
upon them at this juncture, and, seeing
the pselessness of dragging a heavy
wagon with them, they kicked it loose,
and meandered out into Main again.
Here one of them got his foot tangled
up in the harness, and fell, and the
other one stopping to condole with, his
fallen companion, they we're caught.
The fallen horse was slightly famed in
the ~fracas, but there we're no serious
results of the accident.

this condition continues, the effect will
be to soon raise prices, as there is an un-

to numerous questions, they said that in

Area of the Canadian dominion.


In the last issue of the Statisti-
cal Year Book of Canada, COM
piled by Mr.. Sydney G. D. Roper
of the statistics branch of the de-
partment of agriculture, we find that
the total area of the dominion is COM
puted to be 3,456,3S3 square miles. In
this estimate 140,736 square miles are
assigned to water and 1915 5,647 to land
surface. The table which yields this
total is said to be an entirely new one,
having been specially prepared at the
request of the compiler of the Year
Book by the Typographical Survey
branch of the department of the in
terror.
"The measures have ALL" we are told,
"been made anew and checked, and
may be depended on, in so far as war
ranted by the present geographical
knowledge of the country. No change
will be made in these figures unless
based upon new information" AS this

good deal of discussion and much differ.
