Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 2.-Officers of
all the leading western railroads
state that traffic is maintained with
out any decrease and that no dis
couragiag conditions have s<develop-
ed I'm fact. moderate Improvement
is noted. Positive assertions are
still made that the lines will be as
busy during the next five or six
months as they were before the vast
amount of surplus freight was dis
posed of and before general business
had reached it's apex. The cold wea-
ther in all sections during the last
few weeks has had a stimulating eff

increased moderately the shipment
of seasonable merchandise. while the
shipments of turkeys and other
Thanksgiving produce were the larg-

Reports show that the southwest
ern roads are having an exceptional

cred, but it is mostly on account of
the big. crops that have been raised
in those sections. Loading reports
show that the business of the rail-
roads. is not a great deal less than
it was year ago. although officials
have no hesitancy in stating that
there is not near the amount in sight
that there was at this time last year.
But this is not causing a great deal
of apprehension in regard to future
earnings Most of the lines will ben
eft largely by retrenchment and by
remuferative returns as result of
recent Improvements and may be
able to keep their earnings up to the
level of the previous year, regardless
of the fact that some statisticians,
who are on the spot, find that they
are unable to figure it that way.
Retrenchment in the construction
department of the western roads is
estimated to have included the lay

thing like $4,000. 900 a year. distrib-

of one kind or another may reach a

GENERAL BATES REPORT.
Makes Public His Findings in Re
gard to Colorado Disturbances.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 2.-Major
General John c. Bates. who was sent
to Colorado to investigate the dis
turbanoes in Cripple Creek and Tel
luride mining districts, has submit
ted his report to Lieutenant General
Young, chief of staff of the army,
and it was made public today. The
report says:
q find that the disturbances at
Cripple Creek and Telluride amoun-
ted to insurrection against the state
of Colorado, in that mining. milling
and other business was suspended
there by reason of intimidation, vio-
lence and threats. and that civil Off
GERS were not able to or did not
maintain order. The militia of the
state have been employed and are
now employed at Cripple Creek and
Telluride. I think the employment
of state troops necessary at both of
these points. and they are now giving
proper protection to life and prop
erty. AZ Cripple Creek work has
been resumed in the mines and at
Telluride. one mine has resumed op-
erations. and owners inform me they
propose to open other mines as rap
idly as they can secure workmen
Probably military guards will have
to be maintained at these points for
some. time. but | understand it is
the intention to reduce the force as
rapidly as circumstances warrant.
though in my opinion. no material re-
duction can be safely made for some
months. At this. time United States
troops are not needed. There are
unsettled conditions at the coal
mines both in Trinidad or southern
| district. and new or northern dis
trict, which may develop into such
disorder as to require the use of
troops. Should this. occur while the
whole available force of state troops
| is employed at Cripple Creek and
Telluride. which is now the case. l

1t is admitted that water is essen

If this is so why should any one pre-
sumo to think that animals can get
along with little or no wafer? Yet
this is the plan on which many farm
ers work. The cows and horses are,
perhaps, properly watered, but the 9TH

In 2 series OF experiments carried on
by the writer number of years ago it
was f. und that sheep, swine and poul-
try CAV, US nearly 20 per cent. better
returns when regularly and carefully
watered than when the water was
given hut occasionally.
That is, the egg supply was larger
from the hens, and the sheep and hogs
kept to the desired weight. More than
this, we found there was less trouble
with diseases, particularly those that
had the stomach for their base OF at

give all the animals on the farm regu-

Renetly for n1nckIea


Farmers whose pasture lands are
rich in vegetable matter are most IA
miliar with the disease among calves
known as biaekIeg. 1t is contracted by
eating the grass on such pastures and
the germs multiply rapidly There is
no known cure for the trouble. but our
veterinarian tells us that his profes-
sion IS familiar with method of vac
eination which renders the calf prac-
tically immune. When this method is
used it should be in the hands of a
skilled worker The writer has had
some trouble with biackleg in the past
and has found the following formula
splendid preventive of the trouble,
but not a cure after the germs have
found lodgment in the calf:
II there is danger of the trouble
obtain from a reliable druggist a sup
ply of hyposulphite of soda and give ii
daily TO the calf mixed with the food,
starting with a teaspoonful for the
animal three months old or younger,
and increasing until the calf from six
months TO year old is given a table
spoonful. After the animal is a year
old there is likely TO be no trouble.
The remedy, or rather preventive, is
worth trying.

Skim NTilk for Cowa.

If me has separator in the dairy
there is no objection TO feeding the
skim milk to the cows, provided it Is
given them while sweet-that is, when
not stale or in any way soiled. 1t is
best fed back 10 the cows mixed with
bran. and adds materially to the food
ration, generally increasing the milk
dow decidedly. The plan of feeding
skim milk from the creamery to cows
should not be carried on, for such milk
is unfit even for swine, unless one is
reasonably sure that it is from the
milk of the same day. It is probable
that the feeding OF skim milk will be
found most profitable when given to
hogs or to the poultry, but where this
stock is not kept in sufficient quantity
to consume the skim milk it may be
safely fed to cows under the condi-
tons named.

crowding the Trees.

When trees become thickly branched
and crowded as TO space they are not
improved by cutting the ends of the
shoots, which merely aggravates the
evil They should be judiciously thin
ned by the complete removal of some
of the branches. a skillful operator
will remove one-third or more of the
branches of thickly set tree so that
the ordinary observer will not perceive
that any pruning has been done, the
tree looking as natural in its ramifca-
tons as if it had not been disturbed,
and this should be the aim in all prun-
ing operations as applied to street
trees.

WEIRD TALE OF AeYsslNlA.
Extraordinary Discoveries of Crime
by Hypuotized Boys.

extraordinary discoveries of Crime
by Hypuotized Boys.
A Swiss engineer, NJ. Zig, in the en-
ploy of King Menelek, the ruler of
Abyssinia, tells some strange things
about that country and one of mis- most
weird stories relates TO the lobasha.
or crime discoverer These are boys
not more than II years of age, who are
put into a hypnotic trance, and in
this state discover the unknown perpe-
traitors of crimes. OF ,lany of these
almost incredible cases of the hunting
down of criminals he had personal
knowledge. In a case of incendiarism
in Ads Abeda the lobasha was called
to the spot and given a cupful of milk
into which green powder had been
put and then was made to smoke
pipe of tobacco mixed with a blacll
powder. The boy was then hypnotic
ed. After few minutes he jumped
up and began running to Harrar. For
fully sixteen hours he ran. and so swift
was his pa.e that professional run
ners were not able to keep up with
him. Near Harrar the lobasha left the
road. ran into field and touched a
Galh working there with his hand.
The man confessed.
Another case which Emperor Men
elek and NJ Ilg investigated was that
of murder and robbery near Ads
Abeba. The lobasha was taken TO
the site of the murder and put into
his peculiar psychic state. For while
he ran around the place then back to
Ads Abeba to church. which he
kissed then to another church, which
he also kissed.
Coming to some water gater
breaks the spell--the boy woke from
his trance.
He was again hypnotized and off he
went. round some huts, and at the
door of one of them lay down and rel
asleep. The owner of the hut. who
was not in, was on his return arrested.
He stoutly denied his guilt, but some
of the goods belonging to his victim
were found in the hut and he ulti-
mately confessed.
The murderer was brought before
Menelek, who asked him to detail his
doings after the commission of the
| crime. These were found TO CORE
spond with the movements of the
Iabasha. He said that. overcome with
remorse, he ran to two churches and
| kissed them.
Menelek wanted to have another
proof of the lobasha's gifts. He him.
self took some jewelry belonging to
the Empress. \ lobasha was sent for
He first ran about in the Empress
rooms, then into Menelek's own rooms
went through other rooms and final
| ~ fell down on Menelek's bed.
NJ. Ilg can give no explanation of
this wonderful gift, which seems to
| be confined to a certain tribe, or per-
| haps racial confederation. the mem
bers of which are distributed over
| the whole Of Abyssinia.
! 1t is also worth remembering that
| a very similar method of discovering
/ crimes was ascribed to the old Egyp-
| tons 1000 years ago.
