SOMETHING strange has hamper

SOMETHING strange has happen
ed to wool-something that was
not down in the books. There
has been a material shortage in
worlds production of wool for the
past three years, and yet there is
the greatest surplus ever known at
this time of year, and prices are
downward, Notwithstanding the
tariff. What's the matter? Great
underproduction; and yeta great
surplus! There can be but one
explanations much greater
under-consumption in a time of
great prosperity" The simple
truth is, the sterling industry by
the trusts has been SO fearfully
overdone, that the woolcornorsnts

by means of the tariff, find their
intended victims unable to buy
the usual supply of wooden cloth

Do NOT contract to sell your
hay. The hay crop throughout
Minnesota and North and South
Dakota is practically a failure, and
as the immense numbers of stock
of these states must be fed until
another crop grows, hay is as
staple as wheat, in fact is selling
as high as $500 ton on cars at
many points in our state. At best
the grain crop is bound to be very
light and in some sections there
will not be enough straw to feed
the cattle. Western Cavalier
county and especially the Rush
lake district is very fortunately
we'll provided with hay this season,
rich in fact, and hay producers
should be very careful how they
dispose Of their crop outside spec
ulators-we do MT wish to call
them sharks are here, and are on
the way, to contract for cheap hay,
and to carry the proceeds of this
rich hay crop to other parts of the
state and to Minnesota. Hay may
not sell as high as $500 a ton,

A DAY Ar TIE AQUARIU4.

Nearly all the children OF this city familiar
with the Aquarium, which Is in Battery Park at
the southern extremity of Manhattan Island.
where the waters Of the Hudson and of the East
River join in NewYork Bay.
The building in which the Aquarium is located
was built in 1907 by the United States Government
as a fort, and it stood upon rocks and made
ground about one hundred yards distant from the
shore, being connected with it by means OF a
drawbridge. In the course Of time the shore line
was extended, bringing the old fort, Castle
Clinton. as 1t was then called. within the boun-
daries OF Battery Park as 1t stands to-day.
In later years the was changed to Castle
Garden. 1t became a popular place OF amuse
ment in our grandmothers' time, and has been
known to hold many ten thousand persons
at one time. After this Castle Garden used
to receive the immigrants who came here from
foreign countries. and in 1891 it devoted It's
present use, and is well known the Aquarium.
The building is circular. and contains seven large
pools. two tiers of wall tanks four turtle tanks
and large number of smaller glass tanks all of
which contain exhibits OF salt or fresh water fish.
Back OF the gallery the hospital tanks
where any fish that is Ill injured may be placed
and there doctored. often the fish become Ill
from another and have to be
watched very carefully to see that their food Is
just right, and the water neither too hot too
cold, but Of exact temperature, just they would
find it in their native countries.
