THE LATEST CREATURES.
Indolent Aquatic Fowl Arc Found ON
Shores of Western Lakes.

GONA arc IOUk1U On
Shores of Western Lakes.
During the recent trip through the
lower western section of the country"
said a young man who had recently re-
turned to New Orleans, IL believe I dis
covered the LATEST and most stupid
form Of life to be found anywhere on
the globe. 1t was an aquatic fowl,
with a big. clumsy-looking beak, in
form something like the dodo, now ex-
tinct. l have spent some time in
watching this fowl, which is found in
some Of the shallow lakes, and the
chief point of interest to me was the
startling stupidity displayed. They call
them shags, 1 believe, out west. They
generally squat on stulnps or logs in
the lake and watch for the smaller fish
that play around the surface Of the
water. They are fairly clever in CATCH
ing what they want, and they throw
out their bills with considerable preci.
sion when they dig for game, and they
never get to eat what they catch until
they have fed ut least one and maybe
more than one member of another kind
VI N0tCA AOMAs w ACAGNC1 u SuUs UGe
gins to catch fish q long-legged water
hen will take a place Immediately be-
hind him. When the shag lands the
fish the water hen simply reaches over
and gets it. Without any show of re-
sentiment and without turning around
the shag will continue it's watch for
fish and this is kept up until the water
hen has finished it's meal, and then, IL
no other enterprising member of the
same tribe comes along, the shay is per.
mitted to enjoy the product of fits own
sleepy efforts. 1 have. on one occa-
sion, seer n shag feed as many as
three water hens before eating a single
fish. It is certainly a singular display
of stupidity, and after having watched
the performance a number of times I
am convinced that the shag is actually
too dull to wen know that the water
hen stands behind him to steal the fish
out Of his mouth."-New Orleans

Commercial Isolation.

In IN article d%eprecating the growing
conviction in the South that the same
kind Of protection which has built up
the manufactures and wealth of the
world would be also good for that sec.
ton of country, the New York
Times warns them that they Sin SO
doing lose sight of the fact that the
logical result Of protection would be
commercial isolation"
Logic is defined as the science Of the
distinction Of true from false reason
ing. If the result of the Dingley tariff
has effected the commercial isolation Of
this country the logical result Of de-
veloping the manufactures and wealth
of the South might be its commercial
isolation. But the article in question is
headed "Increasing Exports from the
South" but the increase as shown has
occurred since the Dingley tariff went
into effect, and we all have been as
sured that If We don't buy we can't
sell.
The fact is there is no logic in, about,
o anywhere near the assertion that
protection leads to commercial isola.
ton. The editor of the Times has APP
parently mistaken Mr.. Gladstone's adj
vice that we grow more cheap cotton
and wheat for logic.

MONEY IN ALFALFA CROPS.

Nebraska Farmers Growing 1t with
Success ON Lands Once AbandoneA
Nebraska is likely to be known here
after as the land of alfalfa. 1t has
only been within the last half-dozen
years that the farmers of the West
have found out what q gold mine al
falfa is. The Eastern farmer has not
made this discovery yet.
Eight or ten years ago the idea be-
came deep-rOoted that every part OF
Nebraska was capable of being redeem
ed from the range and made to blos-
som with the seductiveness of the rose.
Two years of drought changed this no.
ton and drove thousands Eastward
again. Part of the thousands Of acres
of land thus abandoned to the gopher
and the coyote was Immediately fenced
in by the ranchers and the cattlemen,
but the men who hung on and the men
who put their trust in cattle soon
found that where corn would not grow
there was the land best suited to the
cultivation of q forage plant once de-
spised.
This vas alfalfa. Year after year
since then has found hundreds of addi-
tional acres planted to this forage. UNI
til there are now in the valleys of the
Platte and the Republican and even
here and there in the sandhills great
farms of a quarter and Il half section
upon which no other chop than this is
raised. With alfalfa as Il starter and
corn as a finisher the best method of
fattening cattle for market has been
found by the stockman.
Three crops a year, sometimes four.
are raised. The average yield is from
two to two and q half tons to the acre
at each cutting. and sometimes goes as
high as six, while it commands a price
ranging from 81 to So u ton. Besides
this it a be raised each year with
certainty for M indefinite term Of
years. 1t does not exhaust the soil,
because 1t contains a very small pro-
portion of p~hosphates; in fact, experi-
ments have shown it to be an excellent
thing for the ground. 1t derives 8 great
deal of its moisture from the atmos-
3here, and in some way exerts a dis
migrating effect upon the alkalis of
the soil-the very qualities that make
the corn yield scanty.
1t grows dense and scarcely above
two feet in height. Fed green or cured
to stock 1T is wonderfully nutritious. 1t
is cut when coming into bloom. while
1t is succulent, and before the stems
become weedy.

The Way of safety.

Unless a cyclist is a "scorcher" there
is no need, generally speaking, to make
any effort to avoid him. He will look
out for the collisions.
A lady was crossing the street when
she saw a bicycle rider coming toward
her. She stopped, then lodged back
ward, and as he had swerved in order
to pass behind her there was a collision,
and both took a fall, but neither was
much damaged.

Neither would it have happened,

A Delightful and Profitable Way OF

"A DellynttuI anu tFOlI0Olc way OK
Studying Bird Life.
OF the many delightful birds 1 had
the good fortune to know, the worm
eating warbler family have afforded
me the greatest pleasure; for they be-
come absolutely fearless of the cam
era. and they place a degree of trust in
one that was as unusual as it was de-
lightful. Being anxious to secure pho
tographs OF the young. l paid frequent
visits to the nest, and what Il wonder
fully concealed nest it was. tucked
away in a small depression and hidden
by the roots of an oak sapling. 1t would
forever have remained undiscovered by
me had l not, by lucky chance, observ-
ed IL of the parent birds visiting it.
Only at first did the owners object to
my intruding, and by various methods
did they try to coax me away from
their home. First one and then the
other would feign broken wings, and
half rolling. half scrambling, they
would make their way down the steep
hillside in the hope of Turing me away.
Then, finding that l was not to be taken
in ever by such an artful device, they
e%ndeavored to accomplish their object
by scolding at me. In less than two
hours they QUOTED down and simply
looked on in silence. The next time
l visited the nest they made no objec-
tons, and l imagined they recognized
me and realized that l meant no harm
either to themselves or to their young,
for these had Matched since my last
visit.
Day by day 1 came to watch the little
fellows. and they grew rapidly, as all
young birds do. Finally they We're
ready to make their first venture into
the great world that, should not acct
dent befall them, was to be their feed
ing ground for many years to come.
AS l looked into the nest the family
of fledglings scrambled out as though
they had been scattered by some invis-
ible hand, so nearly simultaneous was
their action, and in less time than it
takes to tell it each little mite of down
and r%ust-colored feathers was hidden
among the dead. cracking leaves with
which the ground was strewn. Though
l had tried my best to watch where
each bird concealed itself, it was some
time before l collected them all pre-
paratory to photographing them. OF
course the parents were greatly excited
birds always are when their young
first leave the nest-and when they
saw the entire brood captured by one
whom they had considered a friend
they seemed to regret having placed so
much confidence in. me. But only for
a very short time did their doubts con
tinue. AS soon as I placed the yousg.
sters on a suitable perch they both
ceased to utter that lisping note of anx-
ious protestation, and to show that they
no longer feared me they hoped about

The remarks of Alexander Young
bearing on local conditions voice the
opinions of a fair minded man, an
honest man not blinded by prejudice,
and capable of crediting other mems
acts and opinions with the same degree
o. honesty that characterizes his own.
Mr.. Young recognizes that there are
sharp prejudices to overcome In this
Territory and regrets as do all citi-
zens that the bitter feelings of the past
have been intensified instead Of al
layed. The question OF where the
blams should be placed Is a matter for
sharp disagreement, but the fact that
the war has gone So far as to seriously
interfere with the prosperity of the
Territory is sufficient argument that
this is no time to deternine the blame.
The people will speak their minds
when they go to the polls again.
The question OF the hour Ia ways
and means to avert crisis in Terri
torial affairs, provide means for the
work OF departments and money for
the progress and development Of pub
lie work. To this task, legislator,
executive officer and loyal citizen

of which individual citizens may be
