is likely to consider the question: OF
marriage for some days after ne IS IN
troduced to his partner, and much
thought on the question colors his shlnS
and beak a bright red. When he finally
determines that family should be
reared, he digs q. nest in the ground. He
then drives his mate up to the nest and
calls her attention to it by giving her q
kick. If she is dull of comprehension,
and she usually is, he continues to kick
her and scold her, and his voice much
resembles the roar of the lion. He is Of
ten compelled to go to the extreme OF
kicking her over the eight-foot fence
forming the corral
She finally, however, sees her duty
and begins to lay eggs Which average
three pounds in weight. The first two
or three eggs are not fertile and viii
not hatch. This fact, curiously enough,
is known to the mother and she lays
them outside the nest But IN TINS there
is wonderful provision OF nature. On
the African desert the nesting of the
wild birds is done in the hills or noun
tains, far from water and the hauntS
of beasts or men. But While the nest
may be many miles from water, the
first requirement of the chick when he
comes from the shell is water or its
equivalent in liquid food Hence the ne
cesSity of the two or three sterile eggs,
which the mother breaks after her
brood is born, and on which the chicks
live until they are strong enough TO
travel.
Left to her own judgment the hen
lays perhaps ten eggs, at the rate of
one in two days, and when the nest
looks comfortably full the Incubation
begins. But the artifice of man deceive;s
her. The keeper systematically takes
the eggs from the nest, and as long as
her work seems to be unfinished the
hen continues to produce eggs. By this
system two hens on the Phoenix farm
last year produced so eggs each. She
cannot be deceived. however, as to the
sterile eggs. If they are put in the nest
she will continue to pull them out, and
will finally quit laying and abandon the
nest.
About Is eggs constitute a setting, q"
and the period of incubation is AZ days.
The male bird does the greater share
of this labor. He takes charge of the
nest at 5 o'clock in the evening and re-

PAID FOR WOLF SCALPS
Oscar Felix Is Now Having Trouble
to Get His Money Back.

To recover $1,000 expended for boun-
ties on wolf scalps is the purpose of a
novel proceeding which has been argued
and submitted to the supreme court.
The case has been submitted and a de-
cision is expected at the next session Of
the court.
When Wallace county was enjoying
that great wave of prosperity desig
mated as a boom in the early days Oscar
Felix was a merchant at Sharon Springs
Wolves, coyotes, rabbits and gophers
were the plague Of the settlers lives
and the county commissioners, upon Pc
tition, adopted a resolution binding the
county to pay 81 for wolf and coyote
ScalpS and five cents each for rabbit
and gopher Scalps.
Later a special election was held in
the county to make a levy for a fund
to pay these bounties. Then the county
arranged with the merchants to take
the warrants at a small discount. There
by the warrants passed current before
the money raised by the levy had been
paid into the county treasury
Thus far the proceedings had not
been interrupted but the Union Pacific
railroad which runs through the county
refused to pay the special tax, claiming
that the election held for the levy was
irregular. The railroad company was
persistent in its refusal and a suit IN
the district court sustained the Judg-
ment of the railroad lawyers The dis
trict court held that law for the spe-
cial bounty void.
Felix had taken in exchangefor goods
in his store at Sharon Springs $4,000 of
the county warrants in payment of
these bounties. Following this the leg
islature in 1895 passed a law that the
innocent purchasers of these bounty
warrants should be reimbursed. Then
Mr.. Felix started in to collect the sum
due him from the county.
Resistance to payment came from the
commissioners and the suit which fol-
lowed resulted in a decision by the dis
trict court that the relief law was in
valid.
From the decision of the district
court Felix now appeals The decision
of the supreme court is anticipated
with much interest as there are many

RUSIE TO PLAY.
May Be Called to New York to Join
the Giants.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 14.-Amos
Rusie, whose controversy with Presi-
dent Freedman over salary kept him off
the diamond last year, is expecting to
be called to New York this week to be
gin practice for the season of 1900, and
will not be surprised to receive a letter
from Manager Ewing at any moment
Indeed, he has made all his prepara-
lions to go east and, though he refuses
to say on what terms he is to pitch this
year, it is understood here that a COM
promise has been effected, and while
he does not get all he wanted he will
get more than Freedman first offered
There is a report current that Rusie's
case was taken in hand by John T.
Brush at a recent meer1ng of the base
ball magnates and that he was very
emphatic in the sentiment that as good
a player as Rusie ought not to be lost
to the game. He admitted Freedman
right to fix the salary of his players.
but questioned whether it was good
policy to make conditions that would
cause Rusie's talent to be lost to all
the members of the league Others
Joined him, and it is said that the pres
sure caused Freedman to weaken and
that Rusie was given a better contract
than the one he rejected year ago.

Indianapolis, Ind. March IA move

Mr.. G. G. Jones, one of the
: representative business men of the
county, and a practical planter,

practical advantage to the plant

by the permission of Mr.. Chas.

ter, which he has just received
from the gentleman mentioned, and

to burn the cotton-stalks and like

measure may prevent a recur-
renee of the damage that was oc-
casion to many plantations last
year by the grasshoppers, that APP
peared at some places in countless
