A.. B. Leckenby Of Oregon, special
agent in charge of grass and forage

j. II. White of Salt Lake favored the
resolution. He wanted to see all the
people derive benefit from the range.
After several other short speeches, d.

ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE.
An Hour Devoted to Consideration of
Bills For Laws.

D41lS LUZ AdMSs
Yesterday afternoons session of the
house Of representatives was devoted
to the consideration of proposed legisla-
ton. The proceedings lasted only an
hour, but in that time one bill was
passed, one killed. two were referred
back and one other was filed for third
reading. An effort was made to hold
d morning session today, SO as to catch
UP with the work, but the motion was
voted down, because morning sessions
interfere with committee work.
Representative Law presented a pc
tition from 107 residents of Cache cOun-
ty, praying for the passage of house
bill No. Y, requiring the taxing of rail-
road grant lands at full value. The
petitioners represented that the valua-
ton of railroad lands for taxation pur-
poses was at least three-fourths lower
than the value placed upon and of pc
t%itiOners in Cache county of the same
character, and the correction Of the in
justice and of the alleged discrimina-
ton was prayed for. Referred to the
committee on railroads.
The committee on railroads recon-
mended the rejection of house bill No.

legislature has nc authority under the
constitution, subdivision s of section &c,

to the judiciary committee.
The committee on railroads also rec
commended rejection of house bill No.

the duties and obligations of railroad
companies, since all the subjects men
toned in the bill are covered by eX-
listing laws or pending legislation.
Adopted.
EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION.
House bill No. So, appropriating $780,
600 for the states half of salaries CT
county assessors, treasurerS and attor-
neys for the last quarter of the year
1898, was passed by unanimous vote,
under suspension Of the rules.
The only bill introduced was by Lar
sen. house bill No. AZ, to amend section
1864 of the revised statutes, relating to
the turning Of water into another
stream, or into a reservoir, and re-
claiming the same. The amendment
proposed in the bill is TO the effect
that the owner of such reclaimed wa
ter snail provide means for accurately
measuring the water at the point Of
turning in, as we'll as of reclamation,
the measurements to be supervised by
one or more commissioners appointed
by the district court on application Of
any person interested. The bill was re-
feTred to h committee on agriculture
and irrigation.

LEASING ARID LANDS

The question Of leasing arid lands
was then taken up, provoking a very
heated discussion.
j. c. Mckay Of Utah opposed the
proposition to lease public lands or cede
them to the states, declaring that the
federal government alone should under
take the work OF retaining the lands.
He said a system of leasing would re-
suit in putting all the public lanGs into
the hands of great syndicates and prac-
tically make it impossible for the lands
to he reclaimed. Other speakers were
C. p. Johnson Of Colorado and D. n.
Stickney Of Wyoming in favor Of leas-
ing, and Mir. Harris of Colorado against
The discussion was still going on
when adjournment vas taken until 1880.
When \ convention met in the
afternoon DR.. Victor Nogaard, chief of
the pathological department Of the bu-
reau Of animal industry, spoke On the
work of the bureau in the way of pre-
venting the spread of contagious dis
eases. He said the method of treatment
for hog cholera had reduced the mortal
ity OF infected animals from so to 20
per cent. Thu treatment Of calves 10
prevent black leg had reduced the NOR
taIity by this disease from II TO less
than l per CEN of the calves of the
COW. The bureau, he said. had secured

and is not regarded as injurious to cat

fully determined.

SALT FOR STOCK.
A Supply of 1t Should he Kept In
Every Field Accessible to All
Kinds of Animals.

Some experiments made in France
showed that stock having regular sup
ply of salt were more thrifty and made
better use of the feed they ate than
those deprived of salt for a consider
able time.
Salt is one of the necessities of animal
existence and even wild animals travel
.ong distances to seek salt in the shape
of salt springs of brackish water. Salt
is the great cleanser of the blood and
performs an important mission in ami
NAL economy, and as it is very cheap il
should be supplied to all live stock in
liberal quantities.
A supply of salt should be kept in
every pasture field and accessible to the
animals at all times. The common Gus
tom of sailing stock once a week is
very poor way to supply the needs of
the stock. The strongest ones will get
enough, possibly, but the weaker ones
and these are the ones that need it most,
will be kept back and never get full
supply. One of the best ways to supply
live stock with salt is to buy rock salt
and place slabs of it in places conven-
lent for the stock to get at it. The
weather has but little effect on it and
stock can get all they need by simply
sucking the salt slab.
To feed it to horses put piece in the
feed box where they can get it at any
time This does not interfere with feed.

ANIMALS CAN COUNT.
The Horse, However, Is the Best CAL
cuIator Among Them, According
to an Old Observer.

An ornithologist, after many expert
ments on parrots, holds that they can
count up to four. A Russian physician,
DR.. Timofieff, extended these expert
ments to birds, dogs, cats and horses.
He concludes that crows can count up
to ten, dogs to "a, cats only to six, but
horses carry off the palm as calculators.
In a village Nf the government OF Po-
kow, DIR. Timofeff studied horse be-
longing to peasant, and found that the
horse always stopped at the end of its
twentieth furrow. 1t did not stop when
tired, but only after every 20 burrows.
1t was so exact about this that its mas
ter reckoned the number of burrows
that he had made by the numtsr of
times that the horse halted. The ami
NAL counted for the man. In another
village DR.. Timofeff saw horse that
calculated the versts (Russian miles,
by the number of posts on the road, and
the time by the striking of the clock.

from his seat, gave some proven

horse had been trained by its master
when very young to get food at every
25 versts. There can be no doubt that
the horse kept count by the posts along
the road. 1t had made a mistake this
time of three versts, but it was not its
fauIt A lOnp the road there were three
other posts besides the telegraph posts
which looked very much like them.
Hence the error of three versts.
This same horse was accustomed to
get its food in stable near which the
town clock rang at noon. DR.. Timofeff
himself saw the horse prick up its ears
and listen, but droop its head dissatis-
fed when less than IL strokes sounded.
On the contrary, it manifested all kinds
of satisfaction when it heard the
twelfth stroke of the bell, neighing for
its provender.

By relative. Two years ago he made
the experiment first, but the person

upon being put into warm room, they

OF the supposed 5000 eggs from ten
silk moths about 1000 hatched, which
result, Mr.. Chiesa says, is better than
the average in Italy. The greatest diff
Guilty has been to find mulberry leaves

the food for the worms has been pros
vided and they are well developed and
healthy, about three inches long, and
are just beginning to weave their Coz
coons. There seems to be no reason
why the industry should not succeed
here. Mr.. Chiesa has brought wom-
an from Italy who has had 30 years eX-
perience with silk worms, and she says
they are doing as well as any she ever
saw.
The experiment is the first that is
known to have been made in the west,
and is certainly the first that has been
successful. 1t has attracted as much
attention as a circus in this city, and the
number of visitors is very large. Tha

promise to. Mr.. Chiesa will buy large
farm near this city, plant it to mulber-
rv trees and go into the business of rais-
ing silllworms and producing silk on a
large scale. From the experience he
has had in America and Italy, where his
father is a silk producer, he sees no rea-
son why the industry should not be eIk
tirely successful in Iowa.-N. y. Sun.

How to Reach Two Famous Resorts.
An Outing Hint from "Outing."

Fast, safe, superbly equipped and most
carefully governed, one need not wonder
at the great popularity of the New York
Central. No other line affords such facili.
ties for through travel between the East and
the West as this wonderful fourtrack sys-
TEN. In the possession of the Grand Central
Station, located in the heart of New ork
City, and within trihing distances of all
first-class hotels, this railway offers greater
advantages than competing lines. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter, it has attrac-
tions irresistible. The great Northern Viii
derness, the playground of the State, now
beckons its thousands. AS autumn falls,
Americas scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim its annual host of pill
grims with its majestic power, the fierce
turmoil of the Whirlpool and all the pic
turesque surroundings, the awesome Cave of
the Winds and several other minor attrac-
tions of the vicinity. And when winter
comes, then the entire scene transformed to
what seems fairyand of marvellous frost
dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces;
of cleaning crystal prison barriers vainly
striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge
of water-will present spectacle of weird,
mysterious beauty which is not duplicated

The medium-sized potato, smooth,
even-shaped and free from scab, is the
best to plant.
a peck of common salt to 100 hills of
asparagus will increase the yield, inn
prove the quality and prolong the sea-

a deep, fine soil is not so easily af-
fected by drought as one that is rough

in the field or garden.
A dollars worth of paint well rubbed
in, will save five dollars worth of farm
implements. Rub the handles and wood

Mixed gardening is what will bring a

plant enough of everything for home
use, and as much more as you have
land for.
Run your farm to make living from
it, and you are almost sure to get rood

you farm to make money alone it is

Three words upon your heart engrave,
Through all your life, to guide you right
Be true. be kind, be brave.
Be TRUE, whatever may betide:
Speak, act the truth at any cost:
OF little worth is all beside,
If trust In you be lost.
Be KIND, another's feelings heed;
Slight no occasion you may find
For gentle word and loving deed;
'Tis noble to be kind.
Be BRAVE. with courage true and strong;
Mind neither rdicule nor sneer;
To dare to do the weak a wrong
But proves the basest fear

These simple words, your motto make,
Esteem and honor yours shall be,
With fortune in their wake.

SNAKES CATCH RATS.
Reptiles Are Made to Serve n Very
Useful Purpose in Some of the
Philippine Islands.

AS the writer was sitting out under
the broad piazza at the restaurant, taxi
ing coffee after dinner, his eyes hap
pened to be turned upward. About ten
feet above his head there was a broad
beam, probably 1S inches square, the
horizontal support of the second story.
Directly above, looking down at the
group below, was the head of an i'm
mense snake, ten feet away. The end
of his tail was carelessly hanging over
the beams side.
The writer gave one jump, landing
six feet away, eNclaiming: Good heav-
ems, Partridge!" (our consul then at
Manila, temporarily in charge of Amer
lean matters at Iloilo).
where is ito" he asked, not moving
from his comfortable American cane
seated rocker.
"Why, just over your head"
"Sit down here" he said to me. "That
snake came here when this house was
put here. There are three or four 9TH
ers of his kind here besides. Without
these snakes this low-lying town would
be about uninhabitable. They keep the
house absolutely clear and free from
rats, mice, reaches, waterbugs, an oc-
| casional tarantula or scorpion. He

And then Partridge called up some
| thing to him in Tagalese and in a few
moments he moved away.
Bite? Oh, yes, and viciously, too
if fooled with. He can intict serious
wounds with his fine, sharp teeth. But
he has no poison fangs."
Two or three evenings after that
| witnessed how he operated. A great
coal-black rat was coming along on a
| beam just below the one occupied by
his suakeship. AS he came opposite to
me big serpent's black and yellow
spotted head shot out four or five feet
| away. He seized that rat as a cat would
between his teeth. Next day as ]

sun | noticed ratlike enlargement or
expansion on his diaphragm. l knew
