Mr.. Evarts in his statement contend
ed that the Securities Company in its
final distribution of the assets intended
to take course which would continue
the common conrtol of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
ways to the detriment of the plaintiff
and cntinued violation of the Sher-
man law.
MIR. Roots Argument.
Mr. Root commended that there was
no warrant in the general rules of
practice, in the DEGREES of the courts
nor in the statutes for this interven-
ton. He said the decree of this court
was limited to the simple command
thou shalt not" and nothing was ex-
pected but absolute obedience.
The arguments of both Mr.. Root and
Mr.. Evarts occupied less than an hours
time, but every word was followed
with the closest attention by the
throng of attorneys and spectators who
crowded the court room, the galleries
and who sat on tables and steps leading
TO the tribunal.
Mr.. Roots argument was finished
just before noon, and when the court
resumed at O'Clock Judge Lovett be-
gan his argument on behalf of the Pc
titioners. He began with the conten-
ton that if the Northern Securities
Company had been the legal owner of
the stock of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern companies it would
have been entitled to the fruits of that
ownership and the attorney general
would not have obtained the relief he
sought in the original suit.

HEAR MERGER SUIT
HARTMAN PETITION ARGUED AT
ST. PAUL.
Secretary Root Makes State
ment for Securities Company
Attorney General Knox Makes
Formal Objection to Granting
Petition for Intervention.

ST. Paul, April ia great legal
battle by corporation lawyers whose
names are familiar throughout the
United States is being waged in the
United States circuit court before
Judges Sanborn, Handkerchief, Hook
and Thayer, the action being based on
motion presented to the court by E.
H Hartman ct al, for leave to file an
intervening petition for the purpose of
showing why the Northern SECURITIES
Company's officials should not carry
out plan of distribution of the assets
of the recently declared illegal North
ern Securities Company in a manner
alleged to be inimical to the interests
of Hartman and Pierce. The attor-
neys representing the plaintiffs are W.
d. Guthrie, r. S. Lovett, general coun-
sci of the Southern Pacific; Judge J.
Evarts, of Ohio. The defendants are
represented by Elihu Root, former Sec
reatry of war; John &. Johnson, of
Philadelphia; Francis Lynde Stetson,
counsel for J P. Morgan q Co.. George
Young, Frank B. Kellogg and G. A.
Severance; also G. w. Bum general
counsel of the Northern Pacific, and
M. d. Grover, general counsel for the
Great Northern. Besides this array of
talent the United States government
was represented by District Attorney
9. G. Houpt, who presented an objec-
ton to the intervention under the di-
rection of United States Attorney Gen
eral Knox.
United States Objects.
This Intervention was something of
surprise to the petitioners, who were
not aware of it until after Mr. Evarts
| had opened the case for the plaintiffs,
when Judge Sanborn asked him if he
was aware that the United States gov
eminent objected to the intervening
petition. The court then directed Mr..
Houpt to read the objection of Mr..
Knox, which is as follows:
respectfully SUBMIT 10 the court
that notice has been served upon me
that Edward H. Hartman, Winslow
S. Pierce and the Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company will apply to the
judges of this court for leave to inter
vene in this case and to proceed and
to be heard in respect of the final de-
cree of this court entered on April 8,
1908, as affirmed by the supreme court
of the United States, and for such 9TH
er or further or different order or relief
as the court may deem fit The Unit
ed States neither admits nor denies the
allegations of the petition, but objects
to the proposed intervention. This
case was heard by this court ON bill,
answer and testimony, and a final de-
cree was entered, enjoining the defend
ants as therein recited. Upon appeal
by the defendants to the supreme court
of the United States the decree of this
court was affirmed in every particular,
the effect of which was to end and
close the case. The United States
stands on the decree as affirmed, and
submits that the court is only concern
ed to see that it is faithfully observed
by the defendants according to its
terms.

Polite Conductors in Berlin.

One of the beauties OF life abroad
is the kind attention lavished upon
you by public servants. Take, for ex-
ample, the street car conductors in
Berlin, The cars do not pause at every
corner, as with us, but make a run OF
three blocks without stopping, When
the conductor sees passengers about
to enter his car, he steps off, and, re-
moving his cap respectfully, waits till
oil are seated, when he jumps on and
gives the forward signal With each
collected fare he offers n ticket for the
passenger to retain and exhibit ON de-
mand Gs evidence that the fare has
been paid.--New Yerlx Press.

France always does hang in the bal

slipped down to Marsanne and walked
out to the farm. The good dame was
in the huge, brick-1oored kitchen,
kneading bread for the fortnightly
baking. She flung her doughy arms
around his neck and kissed him.

shirt-sleeves and kneaded the bread,
while the good mother told him the
news and gossip Of the farm. This
is the sort Of thing that Emile Loubet
would do quite naturally. Lincoln

II one has variety Of wheat that is
adapted to his soil, he should plant
only best grains. There are fan mills
made now that grade the wheat. Only
the large, plump grains are left. But
II one has no fan mill he can get all
grass seeds and small wheat out with q
seive with proper meshes. He can buy
the wire from a hardware store and
fasten it to the bottom Of box frame.
A third of the wheat may pass through,
but what is left will be best grains.
The small wheat will do for milling.
The best way to improve wheat is to
go through the field before cutting and
select such heads as are pest. After
the wheat is cut they may be pulled
from the bundle. Get enough to make
bushel and run that through a sieve.
Thus the best seed possible will be Sc
cured. We saw two varieties Of wheat
sown on the same lot last year. When
headed, one variety was six to ten
inches higher than the other. The
short wheat may have had the adyan-
tage in manure. 1t certainly had II

Cottonseed and Liuseed Meal.

The Missouri Experiment Station
has been making some feeding tests
of cottonseed meal and linseed meal
for dairy COWS, In the report Of the
tests In the annual report, the station
says q ton Of cottonseed meal has 81
. SO more value than a half ton OF
linseed meal They say furtner:
"When cottonseed meal can be bought,
delivered to your railway station, at
from SIS to $50 per ton in car lots, as
II usually can in the fall, the dairymen
Of each community ought TO club to-
gether and buy at least n car to pro-
tect themselves against a rise in the
price Of bran and oats, which usually
occurs about the middle Of the winter
of each year. Cottonseed meal at this
price is far cheaper than bran at $40
per ton or oats at twenty-five cents per
bushel."

When you compare the climates OF
Old and New England the wonder is,
not that box hedge fails, but that any
evergreen from England succeeds
here. The only place in the United
States that has a climate like that Of
England is the coast Of Oregon, while
the climate Of New England is COM
parable to that Of Manchuria and
Korea, to which countries we should
look for a broad leaved evergreen to
displace box. The difference between
the mean temperatures in January and
July is only fifteen degrees in England,
whereas it is forty-two in New York,
and New England sometimes jumps
from sixty degrees above to twenty de-
grees below inside Of three days. The
winter winds of England being the
warm, moist air of the Gulf Stream,
while ours are from the cold, dry inte-
rlor Of the continent, these winds dry
out the foliage of broad leaved ever
greens, and, the roots being frozen,
they cannot send sap TO the leaves,
Consequently, the foliage gets dingy or
yellow. 1t is doubtful whether we
shall ever have any really first-class
broad leaved evergreens for such con-
ditions. Practically all ur northern
evergreens have needle leaves, except
the bayberry, y,-Country Life in Amer

Ahout two weeks ago grain dealer
an 6Illng an order sent by mistake corn
instead of wheat. There had been de
loy IN getting it delivered, and when
received we were entirely out Of feed,
and were compelled to use some Of the
corn. When thrown to the flock Of
laylng hens, about thirty, most Of them
,vould pick up a grain and then drop
n In a day or two, however, they
harmed that it was good to eat, and
would goDble it up as fast as it could

,han two weeks they grew tired of It,
and would eat very llttle, leaving corn
scattered all around.
In the meantime we had procured
some wheat and began to feed it to the
hens again, and they went at it raven
ously .
When the corn first came having
nothing else, we were obliged to feed
some of it to the young chickens, from
three weeks to three months old. They
did not know what it was, and as it
seemed too large for many Of them we
cracked some of the corn in a large
hanG mill When this was scattered
out to them they ate it much better,
and before the wheat came seemed to
be taking it very well. As it was con-
siderable extra labor to crack the corn
in the mill we began feeding wheat to
the younger chickens as soon as 1t
came.
Within q few days we threw out a
handful of whole corn to the younger
chickens, when there was wheat on the
ground. We were much surprised to
see them leave the wheat and begin
picking up the corn very eagerly. Since
then we have been feeding some whole
corn to the younger chickens every
day, and it is surprising to see the
youngest of them turn from the wheat

How to Water a Horse.

Articles written by the English vet
erlnarian, Pately Bridge, are always
practical and instructive In the Lon
don Farm and Home he discusses the
watering Of horse, about which there
is so much conflict Of opinion, as fol-
lows: Writing recently concerning
recurrent case Of collie in a gelding,
Potter" said, 81 think the driver
gives him water after his feed" This
suggests the common theory that when
water is given to horse after feeding,
especially after the consumption OF
grain, the food becomes washed out of
the stomach before 1t has been prop
erly digested, Watering horses is a
subject Of considerable importance in
connection with the every day manage
ment of the animal, and has a distinct
bearing on the digestion Of its food
and the occurrence Of diseases asso.
ciated with failure to do so. There are
horse owners and responsible servants
who have got their own ideas as to the
best and proper time to water, and
while a majority believe that horses
should be watered before feeding, and
practice it, there are some who are
equally certain that feeding should
precede watering, Others there are
who think 1t does not matter so that
the watering is regular.
