ANOTHER RAILROAD SCHEME.
New Railroad Project for Tapping the
Resources Of Cook County.


New Railroad, Project for Tapping the
Resources Of Cook County.
Doluth Herald:
Many railroad enterprises. have been
planned during the past twenty five
years for opening up that territory
vaguely described as the north shore of
Lake Superior. Considerable money has
been expended at different times in pro-
noting them. Occasionally rough sur
vey of route would be made. Most of
these projects have had Grand Marais as
the objective point and contemplated
only q line into the mineral region of
Cook county, giving it lake outlet.
Several logging railroads have been pro-
jected by men who own vast Tracts of
pine in Lake and Cook counties and one
or two of these are now being considered
by firms who are financially in a position
to carry them out whenever they consid-
or an opportune time has arrived for
marketing their timber.
Recently an entirely new company has
been partially organized which has for
it's object the building of railroad that
will serve all of the interests, mining,
lumber, and agricultural in this vast
undeveloped region, by many believed to
be so rich in resources. The plans OF
this company, or rather of it's promoters,
have advanced to the point where ar
engagements have been completed for
making a survey. aud it is said on excel
lent authority that this work will begin
before the close OF the present month
While The Herald is not at liberty to
give the names of those interested,in the
enterprise, it can say that che owners Of
the different interests on the north shore
have united with capitalists to carry it
out, provided, Of course, that the survey
shows the plans to be practicable. 49,.
The proposed road will connect Duluth
and Port Arthur, and a branch will be
built from Grand Marais to Gun Flint
lake. which will afford communication
with the Rainy Lake gold fields, over
the Port Arthur, Duluth & Western, and
the Ontario & Rainy River railroad now
in conrse Of construction. Anumber of
other branches from the shore line are
also included in the plan to give an ont
let3to the pine timber, which EXISTS IN
such large quantities throughout tie

Sonia's marriage, when 4 young girl,
was a mere suhterfuge on her part. in
order to leave Russia and to obtain Il
serious education in Germany. The af-
fair of the heart which FASTENED her
death occurred in prosaic middle age.

Alfalfa and Swine-Breeding in Ne
brRsha. .

Mr.. G. II. Gould, in a recent letter from
Republican City, Neb., says:
| came to this country from Iowa in April
1872, settling on a homestead near Republic
an City, Harlan county, Nebraska, wishing
to begin farming on my own account. 1t took
all my means to get here, and had to start
in e~mpty-handed, having no team or stock
except one COW and one hog. The cow
strayed off and was lost, so | was left with
the one hog. With that start u in to make
my way in the new country.
| raised a few hogs through the 6rst years,
and in 1883 | bought some Pollard China
pigs, and commenced breeding tL.dt variety
of swine, which | have continued ever since.
l am now raising one huEared and fifty to
two hundred hogs a year. have $50 acres of
land, thirty acres in alfalfa, from which the
hogs are fed tie year through. In the win
ter they are fed the hay, which they like as
well as the green pasture, and for the young
stock | think it is better than the pasture.
In 1895 | raised one hundred and fifty pigs,
which were fed through the summer on al
falfa exclusively, having no grain to feed
until the corn crop was ready to feed in the
fall. | never had pigs come out as well as
they did, and they were the easiest fed out.
and cheapest lot of hogs | ever raised. / sold
over one thousand dollars worth at public
sale Nov. Is, 1895, and fed out the balance,
over seventy.five head. for the pork market.
The hog has made more money for the west
ern farmer than any other farm animal, and
/ am not sure but what he has made more
than all others combined. The present low
prices of young hogs with the cheap land to
be had puts the business within the reach
of the men of small means as we'll as the
rich.

A cone of gold weighing 1, 149. 90 troy

received at the assay office the other

Caribou Hydraulic Mining company, in
British Columbia, and is still in the
same form as it came from the eruciblc.

Growing Spider. for Market.

Utilizing the good gifts of nature is
an excellent thing when properly con-
Quoted, but few people will appreciate
that form of utilization which is de-
scribed in a bulletin of the division of
entomology. According to this recount
there is carried on in a small village
in France and also in a small place near
Philadelphia the unique industry of
growing spiders for market. These
creatures are raised with a view to
stocking the cellars of wine merchants
in order that they may cobwebs
over the wine bottles. These spiders
are sold at the ate of ten dollars per
hundred, and the people engaged in this
industry are doing a fiourishing bust
ness. The value of the cobweb-sovered
bottle is likely to be sadly diminished as
soon as the facts about this new branch
of trade become known.-N. Y. Ledger.

WINTER BEE DISEASE.
TOW to Manage Which May
BE AFFLICTED with Ii.

BE Afflicted with 1t.
One of the causes of dysentery, as the
winter bee disease is usually termed, is
disturbing them in cold weather. In
fact, it is often the case that disturbing
them in very cold weather is the most
disastrous thing hat could be done,
rs it causes ~dysentery to appear among
the bees in its worst form. For this
reason no one should be allowed to go
among the hives in very cold weather
any more than is strictly necessary to
properly look after them. Nor should
stock be allowed to run among them
during the winter for fear of disturbing
them.
The disease may also appear when
the bees are closely confined for Il long
time, or when they are compelled to live
upon impure honey. Many good bee
keepers claim that honey from cider
mills, decayed fruit and honey dew is
not healthy food.
If the winter is an open one, so that
the bees can fly out often, they will live
on this kind of honey without injury.
But il the weather is so cold and stormy
that the bees are kept closely confined,
the poor food tells, and dysentery is al
most certain to make its appearance
among them; and colony badly afflict-
ed will often be hard to cure.
One of the best things hat can be
done-in fact about the only thing that
will be of any benefits to give them
a purifying flight. Let them have a
Chance for a flight the first bright warm
day that comes.
Feeding candy is. to some extent.
beneficial. But the best and safect
plan is to prevent. Give good winter
food, good sealed honey. That gathered
during the first of the season is always
best. Bees will bear confinement on
good honey and keep healthy much
longer than on bad. 1t is easier to pre-
vent the disease by supplying healthy
conditions tim to cure after the dis
ease ono makes its appearance.-St.
Louis Republic.
