STATE GIVES AWAY TREES.
work Of Kansas II Proving q Great
Value In Saving the
Crops.

A half million trees year for west
ern Kansas farmers sizes up the work
Of the Dodge City forestry station. IL
hasn't been 20 many years since q tree
was q curiosity on the semi-arid plains
Of the west. Now little clumps of tim
Der can be seen on every hand, reports
the Kansas City Journal. They render
q valuable service, too. They furnish
wind breaks for stock In the winter
shade In the summer. check hot winds
and bring moisture.
"There has been q wonderful change
in climatic conditions Of western Kan
cas-" said Mr.. Chalk Beeson. Il can
remember when the blizzards from the
north In the winter would kill cattle
by the thousands, and the hot winds
from the south would burn up crops
and pastures In the summer. We got
caught coming and going. Now we are
not bothered with either. The trees
break the billiards. In winter and the
hot winds in summer. The saving to
the farmers In cattle. alone runs into
the thousands Of dollars. And as for
crops, we haven't known OF failure
since the trees got big enough to do
business"
The salvation OF the western country
depends more upon trees than on irri-
cation. Only small part Of the coun-
try can be irrigated at all-the river
valleys. The government is spending
$3.50 900 making irrigation experiments
around Garden City. II they prove
successful the farmers, in the long run.
will have to foot that bill. II they fail
the government will be the loser. But
irrigation affects only a small area. II
is the handling Of the upland at q
profit that will count. And 1t seems
that trees offer the only solution Of
what has seemed a difficult problem.
The government has set aside $4,000
acres Of land in Finney county for q
tree reserve. Experiments will be male
to find out what species Of timber is
best adapted for that country. The
arid districts Of Europe, Asia and Az
RIGA will be searched by experts for
trees that thrive without much water.
As soon as the government has its re-
serve we'll started it will supply trees
to western farmers at small cost and
encourage them in every way to start
groves.
The state now supplies 100000 trees
annually to the farmers. These are
produced at the station and shipred
out in the spring. The farmers simply
have to pay for their delivery. No
charge is made for the trees by the
state.

EXTRAORDINARY sHELLFIsH.
Bivalve Of Singular Construction
That Bores in a Remark
able Manner.

Perhaps the most extraordinary
light-giving shellfish is the pholas, or
Ole fish. 1t is bivalve; that is to say,
It has two shells, which are open at
both ends, and at each end is cover
which fits over the opening. The fish
stays always in one place, apparently
without any life or movement, but 1t
Is really a wide-awake, hungry crea-
ture. BY means Of the covers to its
shells 1t can open and close them just
when it wants to and out Of either
opening 1t thrusts IL long, crooked,
hairy arms in search Of its prey. Eight
smaller arms are generally tucked
away inside the shell.
The pholas Is found In all sorts OF
neutrality-suspicious. at the bottom Of
the sea, sometimes hidden away in
Jumps of earth, sometimes lodged, shell
and all, In the heart of the hardest
marble, for the boring powers Of the
Hsh are truly marvellous.
II you take the pholas out Of its shell
Il looks like a soft, round pudding,
with no instrument for boring into
sven the softest substances. Its two
teeth are so placed as to be useless for
the purpose; so are the covers to its
shells. The implement which 1t uses
Is a broad, fieshy foot. which issues
rom one end or the other Of its shell,
and its method of boring suggested to
The great engineer, Brunei, in 1914, the
way to make the Thames tunnel, and
served as q model for the machines
used in boring the Mont Cents tunnel.
The pholas works thus: Fixing It.
.elf firmly by its powerful foot. 1t uses

makes its shell revolve; the soft edges

which Is afterward enlarged by the
:asplike action Of the rough interior.
Though constantly worn down. 1t Is
replaced by new formation from the
animal, so that 1t is always kept In
rood condition for boring.

Some SeasonabIe Advice.

It may be a piece of superfluous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in a supply Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
is almost sure to be needed before
winter is over, and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a
cold is contracted and before il has
become settled in the system, which
can only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This remedy is 90
widely known and 30 altogether
good that no one should hesitate
about buying it in preference to any
other. It is for sale by A. r. Kane.

The paper contrasts the action of the

St. Petersburg
Hears of Defeat

st. Petersburg, Jan. 3-This city is
floundering hopelessly between widest
Consideration and the gloom of despair.
For hours the censor succeeded in
suppressing the fateful news from Port
Arthur, but once the first inkling of it
became known, it spread like wildfire
and soon the whole story became
known. The effect was indescribable.
There are those who greet the calamity
as a well deserved punishment for the
autooracy, but the majority of the pop
ulation is too stunned to feel anything
but blacklist despair. So far as can be
learned, army circles consider the fall
of the fortress in quite different light
from what it appears in the eyes of ma
val officers. Army men say that Port
Arthur having played its part, may
now quit the stage. Its fail will not
effect the future conduct of the war,
as the car is determined to continue
in his attempt to ultimately defeat the
Japanese. Naval circles, on the other
hand, regard the surrender as an ire
parable disaster, fatal to Russian pres
tige and far reaching in its effect upon
Russia s course in Manchuria.
