DON'T MIX Your Eggs.

Don't set Brahma. Wyandotte and
Leghorn eggs in the same incubator at
the same time. The amount of moisture
or ventilation required to hatch one
will be too much or insufficient to hatch
the other variety.

as the result of scientific inquiry, with
out waste or delay.
The four or five great projects Sc
lected this year will not be completed
until about 1907 or 1908. This shows
how slow the work is. In time other
projects are to be selected-perhaps
two or three others next year, and the
work is to be pushed rapidly.
Actual Settlers Get Benefits.
The irrigation law provides that the
land is to be held for actual settlers,
and this section of it is to be rightly
adhered to. In some instances, how
ever-notably, the extensive Salt river
project in western ArizOna-much OF
the land was already in the hands OF
Spectators before the government Sc
lected the site for the reservoir. The
site was finally selected because of it's
great Importance. It is n OF the
most desirable in the country. How
v the law provides that no individ-
udI Cdu OWN llIOI0 IlIdll on vi lOV az
of land within the boundaries OF fed
eral irrigated districts, but must dis
pose of all exvess to actual settlers
at reasonable prices. If this is re-
fused, the owners may be brought to
time by a refusal ito turn water on
their land or by appeal to the courts.
The government without doubt will
be able to administer the law satisfac-
torily to the people as a whole, and
in a way to shut out nearly all OF the
graft and greed which naturally will
seek ito fasten itself upon such a large
undertaking.
The sections of the law looking to
the saving of the land for actual set
tiers were drafted under the eye OF
President Roosevelt, and it is pretty
certain that as long as he is in office
there will be no wholesale or open
violations of them. Besides, the prece-
dents which he will have an oppor-
tunity to establish during his term OF
office will control the irrigation ques-
ton for years to come.

Whenever Bishop Ireland feels
moved to say something to his fellow
citizens his utterances are always en-
titled to the highest consideration, for
his grace never speaks unless it is to
give good counsel and wholesome ad-
vice to those to whom he is address
ing himself. His address or Labor
Day at st. Paul was no exception, and
both the laborer and the capitalist
he spoke to both-would do well to
heed what he said. He made it clear
to each that the other has rights that
must be respected and that, strive
and quarrel as they may, m is de-
pendent upon the other, and neither
can exist without the others aid and
assistance. To both he accords the
right to combine and work for indi-
vidual and collective benefits, so long
as they do not seek to interfere with
personal liberty, as the prosperity and
welfare of the nation are dependent
upon individual effort and no man
should be bound by rule to limit the
capacity of his individual power of
achievement to the gait of the incom-
petent and lazy.

Eminent Discoverer Of
PAINE'S
OMPOUND

Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., IL. D.,
was born in Connecticut and graduated at

His unusual talent soon brought him reputa-
ton and prominence. First he was elected to
the professorship of anatomy and surgery in
the Vermont University. Next he was APP
pointed lecturer in Dartmouth College. The
following year he was chosen to the most
important professorship in the country, a
place that he occupied when he made his
world famed discovery of Paine's Celery Com

A HARD UNDERTAKING.

Some really remarkable accomplish
ments in the religious and moral world
stand to the credit of those earnest
workers, the Salvation army, and sue
cess has repeatedly followed their ef-
forts where defeat was predicted, but
it does seem that their latest under
taking is a tri1e too ~stupendous for
even those Jealous and earnest labor
ers in the spiritual vineyard. To UNI
dertake the reformation of the feudists
Of the mountain regions of Kentucky
is a task that SENS we'll night beyond
the power of human accomplishment.
To those who have kept track
of the numerous murders, assass-
nations and other forms of out
Iawry and crime resultant OF the
feud system obtaining there it looks
as if moral suasion and appeal
to conscience will be labor lost. Men
who have been trained from infancy
to believe in the code of blood atone
ment and in whom through genera
tons has been ingrained the belief
that personal vengeance is paramount
to the law and that the taking of
human life in reparation for wrongs,
fancied or real, lis just and proper, are
likely not to listen to the pleadings
of those who accept and are governed
by the teachings of the Master OF
Peace and the Teacher of Love and
Forgiveness.
The fact that the Salvationists rec
ognize that their invasion of the homes
of the feudists means danger to life
and person is only another evidence
Of their zeal and earnestness. II they
fail the credit to which they are en-
titled will not be lessened, for thu
task to which they are applying them
selves is one hat no other religious
body has ever had the temerity tt
undertake. The mere making of tn
effort itself will elevate them in TIN
opinions of all people who have tn
welfare of their fellows at heart.

In commenting on the proposal OF

Leader would have the law so changed

possible except where it could be
dearly shown that the evidence was
insufficient to justify the verdict. This
would be in the nature of a compro-
mise between those who hold, as Mr..
Justice Brewer holds and those who
believe that an accused person should
be given every possible opportunity

fishing appeals on te~chnicalities many
