Noted Cities.

Chicago is probably the most widely
known city in the United States.
Noted for its push and enterprise as
well as being the Windy City.
Milwaukee also has worldwide
reputation on account of the quality as
we'll as the quantity Of its annual pro-
duction of beer
ST. Paul, while possibly not SO gener-
ally we'll known as the two former
cities, is nevertheless noted in many
ways, and is one of the popular Twin
Cities of the Northwest.
All three are famous cities and their
names combined form the name OF
Americas greatest railway, famous
and noted the world over for its super
Tor management, elegant equipment,
splendid service and general adoption
of all the latest safety appliances for
the comfort and safety of it's patrons.
It's electric lighted trains are noted
the world over.
1t is the short line between Omaha
and Chicago, and like superior articles
of merchandise is, once tried, always
used.

BARREN EWES.

An English writer says 1t is not
uncommon to find a few barren ewes
In the flock. Some rams leave more
than others. Just before the Landing
season commences, any that may be
suspected Of being barren should be
picked out and tested. There are sew
eral different ways of detecting bar
rem ewes. The first thing that would
naturally strike the eye OF the shep-
nerd, or an experienced flockmastert
would be their light walk, fairness o.
sides, and lightness of belly, as com,
pared with other ewes. Any dirt about
the tail is often a sign of barrenness.
But none of these indications are 10
being late lamber. If these suspect
ed ewes be drawn out and put on a
nigh, banky field, the barren ones will
usually be exceedingly active. and VIII
commence butting and skipping. A
eve in lamb rarely skips, however
much she may be enticed to join in
the fun by a barren one. This skip
ping is very sure test. A fine day
should be selected, and there are GER
tain fields on every farm, in which
they are more likely to reveal the
secret than others. The shepherd, as
a rule, knows them well. 1t often
happens that they skip when with
their own flock, but are more likely to
do SO when with younger sheep
Another test Is to turn the eve and
examine the udder. II barren, she
VIII show no signs of secreting milk
Will usually have waxy matter devel
oped in the wrinkled skin around tn,
udder. and the wool will generally b
stronger in growth than that on a,
in-lamb eve. If these barren ewes ar
in good condition. or can be got /
good condition quickly it is often ad
! yisable to sell them in the fleece.

,xsprcy,oN OF IMPORTED ANIMALS

INSPECTION OF IMPORTED ANIMALS
The secretary OF agriculture says:
In order to prevent the introduction
of animal plaques an inspection SER
vice Is maintained at our principal
seaports and along our frontier. Quar-
antine stations have been established
for animals coming from countries
where contagious disease exists. There
were quarantined at these stations
during last year $50 cattle. 625 sheep.
81 swine and 11S animals for menag-
cries and geological parks. There
were also admitted, after inspection
aud in some cases quarantine, over
242,000 animals from Canada and about
100000 from Mexico. The examlna-
ton of this vast aggregate OF imported
animals, amounting in all to over
third of million, is most RESPONSE
BILE task, but so far it has been sue
cessfully conducted, and none of the
exotic plaques of the domesticated an
imals has been allowed to reach our
territory. With our enormous invest
ment in animals that are susceptible
to such plaques, it is clearly a duty
which the government owes to our
ton and quarantine with the utmost
rightly. The ravages of the rinder-
pest as it is sweeping over the African
continent should be an object lesson
indicating the terrible destruction
which such a disease would cause
among our immense herds OF valuable
stock.
The tremendous possibilities of loss
from imported contagion suggest that
possibly the time has come when II
might be well for us to consider
whether it would not be best for us to
| follow the example of Great Britain
| and exclude entirely live stock from
| other countries. Inspection and quar-
| antine, however, carefully and con
| scientiously performed, are acknowl
! edged by most countries to be only
| relative and not an absolute guarant,
of protection. Should not our ANNA
| industry have the most complete safe
! guards thrown around it which tn
experience of the world has shown t.
| be required for the most absolute an
perfect protection? In this connection
we are reminded that some of the ter
ritory which has recently come unde
our flag is believed to be infected wit
animal plaques and parasites unknow
to the United States. and that ma
work great injury IL they are trans
ported to our soil. 1t would appear t
be wise for such legislation to be en-
acted as would provide against an
mails from this territory being above
to enter our ports, whether these ar
imals are brought by individuals c
returning troops.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.

The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyu-l Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
1Oth.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department OF Agricui-
ture for me Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, Tor
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay In
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way In
new departure, with regard to the
collection OF crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion OF per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply a matter
of opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy Of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent compilation Of actual
threshing results. In this connection
1t might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system oil
growing crop returns, which will be In
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases Of alb
normal development. In the Regini
district, many returns are given o
crops of wheat running from 40 to Al
bushels to the acre.
j. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshet
rs, 900 bushels of oats from $50 acres
an average of 60 bushels per acre for
large acreage.
w. R. l.otherwell, OF Abernethy
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat fron
q 50-acre field, an acreage of So bush
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. I
Hutchings threshed 72S bushels G
wheat from ten-ecre plot, al averag
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels c
oats from 60 acres of land, ar averag
of lie bushels per acre.
The publication OF the actual yield
or grain threshed will likely open tn
eyes of the people to the great capabi
tiles of the Western Canadian prairie

No Apples scab-Proot.

George p. Clinton, of the Illinois
Agricultural College, in an article on
apple scab, saSs: There appears to
be no such thing as a scab-proof varie-
ty Various writer's have recorded OBJ
servations showing that certain varie-
ties have been more severely injured
than others and there is no doubt that
this is the case. 1t is very likely tat
such differences are due in large part
to the thinner or more easily pune
tured cuticles of the scabbier varieties.
The writer has also observed that scab
is a lover of neglected orchards
chards which have not been properly
sprayed, pruned. or cultivated-and
that it seems to be less abundant on
very young trees, especially where
such trees are isolated. This latter
is probably due to less favorable con-
ditions for original infection.

picked in mind, saying she had learn

1t was a second child of the same

ly called upon for Biblical quotation
responded: THE Lord is great bat
tleship and his name is the Lord"
Challenged to explain the source of the
unknown passage. he Indignantly re-
piled that 1t was somewhere in Revela-
tons, and refused to retract jot or tit
tie of the quotation.
1t was finally found that he referred
to the sentence, 1.-The Lord is man-of-

Those who observe the custom al
ways go to the beehiyes and tap gently
on each one, then stoop and whisper
under the cap or lid that Mary, Jane
Thomas or William is dead. This is
done to keep the little honey makers
from forsaking their place of abode

paid So per acre. Everybody thought
