Senator Kittredge of South Dakota is
receiving congratulations because he
got the Panama bill through without
having to make a speech on it. He
would not allow himself to be drawn
into debate but met every objection
with IA demand for a vote. OF course
he knew pretty we'll where the senate
stood on the measure, but quiet persis-
tence has always been the Kittredge
method.

Pine Shavings as Manure.

Fresh pine shayings contain an acid
and II used in large quantities will
soul the land. When used for bedding
and mixed with the manure there will
be no damage. The ammonia I'm the
liquids will correct the acid In the shaw
ings. They should be used until well
soaked and then mixed in the manure
pile. ~Shavings handled in this way
have been used for years with good re-
suits. They make a good absorbent
and are easily handled in the manure.
Fresh sawdust Is much the same and
should be soaked with liquid or well
mixed In the pile before spreading on
the ground. Old sawdust from ice
houses hat have been In use for some
years may often be used as IA mulch
or even plowed into the ground with
out passing through the stable. but we
consider ii safer to use ii az u bedding
first. Pine needles are used at the
south for mulching Strawberries. but
the strawberry will thrive in u soil SO
acid that many other crops could hard
ly grow. The prejudice against saw
dust and shavings can usually be
traced to results obtained from using
them fresh.-Rural New Yorker.

Threshes With Artesiau Water.

o. T1rgeon, IA stockman whose anch
is on the east bank of the Missouri river
in the northern part of Charles Mix
county, has au artesian well which is
made TO serve various purposes-some
of which are quite novel. The artesian
well is eight inches in diameter and is
one of the best and most powerful in
South Dakota, and III addition TO fur
nishlng water for irrigation a large
area Of land which is each season
devoted to crops, it has for some time
furnished the power for operating a
sawmill and corn shredder. Recently
the owner of this really wonderful well
purchased a threshiug machine, which
has peel attached to the well, which
will furnish power for operating the
machine. Ii is safe to say that Mr..
Turgeon is the only person in the state
or northwest-and perhaps in th.
United States-who does his threshing
by means of power furnished by an
artesian well.

A STORM CENTER
German Mob Storms the Hall
Where the WoIinist Is
Giving Concert.

VIENNA, March 15. = German
Czech race hatred led to a serious riot
at Ling, the capital Of Upper Austria,
today where a mob of Infatuated Ger
mans, in revenge for the Ill treatment
of their compatriots at Prague, storm
ed the hall in which Jan Kubelik, the
Bohemian violinist, was giving a con-
cert, compelling the artist to seek safe
ty in flight. The manager had been
warned to cancel the engagement, ow-
ing to- fears of such a demonstration,
but he declined to do so.
Before the doors were opened the
mob attacked the carriage of the dis
trict governor, Count Wickenburg, with
stones. The police had difficulty in
protecting the count from personal in
Jury. While the concert was In prog
ress a bowling mob, outside, the hall
made the music inaudible. Some Off
GERS came out Of the hall and reproach-
ed the mob for such disturbances. The
mob then forced the police Gordon, in
vaded the hall, smashed the decorative
mirrors and threw missiles at Kubeltk.
The concert was then stopped and
the audience dispersed, amid a fire of
offensive epithets. The demonstrations
were continued outside the hotel where
Kubelik was staying and the police,
aided by the mayor, had some difficulty
in dispensing the mob.
