HAIL INSURANCE.

The legislature will probably take ac-
ton at this session on the matter Of
giving legal protection to policy holders
in hail insurance companies. During the
past two or three years there has been
not a little complaint from parties who
have been policy holders in hail fnsur-
ance companies and whose losses have
not been paid. The need for such in
surance is recognized and the business
Of insuring farmers against loss from
hail storms is considered. f properly
conducted, just as legitimate as fire
insurance. There are some companies
which have paid their losses in full
and promptly. Unfortunately there have
also been wild cat companies which
have absorbed all the premiums in the
payment Of officers salaries. To remove
the stigma from the honest companies
and to shut out wild cat organizations
is the object of the bill which has been
introduced in the house and recommend
ed for passage by the committee. The
hill provides that 80 per cent of all the
income from policy holders shall be set
aside for the payment of losces. 1t
also provides that a bond Of $4,000 must

ditioned upon the faithful accounting Of
the funds of such company.

Pure Food Bill Agreed To.

The pure food bills will be reported
to the house at the earliest opportu.
nifty for passage with a few amend.
ments. The bills provided for a re-
peal of the law providing for a sys-
TEN of fees and permits to sell cerz
tain goods in the state This provi:
sion made the board almost self-sup!
porting. Under the proposed bill.
these sections were to be repealed
and the law left as it was drafted in
other particulars.
Before the committee acted on the
measure a delegation of wholesale
grocers and manufacturers of Lincoln
were given a hearing. They strongly
obpected to the measure on the
ground that it worked a hardship on
the home manufacturer. 1t would
permit the outside manufacturers
who make adulterated goods :oman-
ufacture them still and sell them in
the state, while the home manufac-
turer would not have the privilege Of
manufacturing even unless he sold
all his goods outside of Nebraska.
This argument was strongly urged
against the rigorous provision of the
measure.

TWO NEW LAWS.

Governor Mickey approved two bills on
the 18th. neither of which is Of any pub
lie interest. The first is H. r. 81. by
Douglas. designed to give justices Of the
peace jurisdiction in cases where persons
are charged with carrying concealed
weapons. This is done by striking out
the words ''or both in the penalty clause
and leaving 1t optional with the justice
to fine or imprison the offender.
The other bill which received the gov
ernor's approval is H. r. 16. by Perry.
of Furnas. 1t also is a curative bill.
changing in a slight degree the last
clause Of section 1919 of the civil code
relating to bonds for a stay of execution.
The wording Is changed to read (which
undertaking shall be signed by the sure
ty and a copy of such undertaking be
entered on the docket Of the Justice"

The chamoion Mich Cow.

Utica. N. Y, has recently won dis
tinction through a stein-Friesian
COW, Sadie by name which.or perhaps
such q COW as Sadie ought to be re-
ferred to as who's q resident of
that place. Sadie has broken the
worlds thirty-day record for milk CIV
ing and butter producing. In the thir-
ty days during which Sadie was put to
the test she produced fraction over
2.754 rounds of milk. from which was
extracted 123 pounds. 81 ounces of
butter. In other words. the milk that
Sadie gave during the thirty days

she thrown in. while her months sup.

Time II PASSING.

In a few days the legislators will
be wishing they had been more ac-
tive early in the session. Friday.
March 13, was the fOrty-sixth day. In
the fourteen remaining days all the
appropriation bills must be consider
ed and other measures that are de-
sired must be rushed through unless
a long time is spent here without
pay. It is quite a task. especially as
the appropriations loom up Wit. mon

pee. tkey will feel more free, how
ever, in posing thrsc bills. The

FIG. I, NOT IVY BUT GRASS
HOPPERS

FId. I. NOT IVY BUT GRASS-
and the farmers in different localities
In Minnesota are asking for q law
compelling nOn-residents to plOw their
land when infested with lOcusts.
In our first illustration in this arti-
Gle We show store in the Hill River
District infested with young grass
hoppers on q rainy day. This will
give some idea Of their abundance In
that locality. The state entomologist.
after q visit to this region. reported:
1T was however in the Hill River
district, near Lindsay p. o.. that farm
ers suffered the most. Here a tract
extending one-half mile east and west
and two miles north and south was
swept almost bare of vegetation.
Young fax, grass. wheat, barley and
oats were moved down. and at the
date Of my visit, June Is. the farmers
were complaining bitterly Of q 300
acre piece Of stubble which had been
allowed to lie fallow for two years or
more and was very evidently the
breeding ground of the pest. In places
I found the ground brown with young
hoppers not yet ready to fly. and the
area referred to presented a scene OF
desOlatiOn not easily forgotten. The
young hoppers were working south.
and on each succeeding visit I found
their limit to be further south. Farm
ers In the neighbOrhoOd worked hero
ically in the fight against the unwel-
come visitation. and about 500 gal
Ions Of oil were distributed by the
entOmOlOgist. This oil was judiciOus-
ly used. but the numbers of the in
sects were legion. and. though the
hopper-dOzers were run back and forth
over the grain all day and day after
day and bushels of oily cOrpses
dumped upon the road, the pests ap-
peared to be almost as numerous aft
er treatment as before"
Among the natural enemies of the
grasshoppers are the birds. In our
second illustration we show English
sparrOws eating grasshoppers In the
streets Of Crookston, Minnesota. This

Eeedino Winter Chicks.

Relative to the feeding of incubator
chicks hatched in the winter, q report
of the Rhode Island station says:
Many people have asked, on seeing
the healthy growing. well feathered
young chicks. what food We were us
ing. The winters experience, in which
a variety of grains were used, indi-
Gates that it is not SO much what the
food is as how the food is supplied
provided there are plenty of starchy,
albuminous, and green matters. In
nature small seeds, insects and grass
furnish food for chickens. These are
most abundant in the spring and sum-
mer months, and it is at this time that
the chickens thrive. To secure the
best results foods Stimulating both the
composition and the mechanical char
acter of these should be supplied. For
instance, in the summer the tips Of
grasses are young and tender and
easily broken by the chickens. For
green stuff to be easily assimilable
some plant should be supplied which
may also be easily broken. We have
found hanging a head of lettuce in the
brooder by a string to exactly furnish
the desired want, and be greedily even
crafty eaten by the chickens.

Il possible. to the woodlands there

bled to breed more unrestrained, and
a greater supply of food Is offered 1t.
than was possible under the old ex-
listing conditions. The inroads Of
birds upon its numbers In the prime

and the few trees that happen to be
