Much care" said taxidermist
has to be ia Ell IN selecting the long,
fine pins used in fastening the speci-
mems in insect collections. For cheap
collections of butterflies and bugs we
use the ordinary brass pins mostly, but
every one of these must be carefully
examined before imsaling the insect
to see that il is well timed. for were
the Tin coating imperfect or the slight
est flaw evident ii would be in nine
cases out of ten liable TO oxidize In
the body of the insect and thus destroy
II. We also use black vanished pins,
but they are almost as bad, for the
glazed coating soon cracks, leaving
the metal exposed. and consequently
it IS not very long before oxidation
sets in Even the more expensive kind,
the nickel plated pins, are not much
better The latest thitsgs we have
now are solid silver pins and bronze
pins, and thele Is being used as an
experiment nickel and aluminium
alloy, which possesses decided adyan-
tages over all the other kinds used"

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Hay For BARN Horse..

Hay fed literally TO hard worked
horse becomes positive burden dur.
ing working hours, says DR.. a. S. Alex
ander In The Homestead. 1t cannot be
properly digested and Is simply lugged
about as an extra load, causing dis.
comfort and yielding no benefit. Farm
work horses should, therefore, be fed
Just that amount of haF which they
will clean up readily, 1t should be fed
early In the morning after watering
and before feeding grain. At noon in
hot weather when there is much work
to be done it should be Withheld or but
pound or so allowed after sip Of
water and while the horse Is cooking off
before getting his noon feed of grain.
AT night it should be literally fed after
die grain ration has been masticated.
The hay should be of good quality and
should be wetted if dusty. The amount
fed should be increased when work de
crcases. Where In summer time ten to
twelve pounds per day VIII suffice. the
winter amount may be doubled as the
grain ration Is decreased. During the
hard work season 1t is not the amount
of food eaten, but the amount digested
and assimRated, that counts.

The classic Greek nose has been re-
garded as the ideal shape. though there
are Roman, Caucasian, Monaghan and
Ethiopian noses, each indicating u pc

speaking thick and fat noses denote

strength, while small nostrlls Indicate
weakness. Napoleon's knowledge OF
human nature made him select gener-

nose speaks louder for Itself than the
alcoholic nose. and 1t Is as much to be

MAKING HEM pIseoRGE.


Insurance Commissioner Zsno M.
Host has sent ont notice to all mutual
life Insurance companies doing business
in the state calling their attention to
Chapter 44s of the laws of 1905. which
amends section 1852 of the Wisconsin
statutes 81 as to make unquestionable
the manda Dry nature of the provision
for the pc odical distribution of the
surplus fut belonging to the policy
holders. Speaking of such funds the
law said that the companies may make
distribution Of such surplus as they have
accumulated annually, or once in two,
three. four or five years, as the directors
thereof may from time to time deter
mine This is now qualified by the
following Voting in this section shall
be not constru, to hereafter permit any
such corporations to defer the distribu-
ton, apportionment or accounting of
surplus to policy holders for longer
period than five years
to this alteration in the law the com
missioner says: ION all policies issued
on the lives Of citiz9ns of the state OF
w lnsin from and after June "a, 1905
life insurance companies transacting
business therein, must distribute, appor-
ton. or make an accounting of surplus
annually or once in two, three, four or
five years. This might be construed to
mean that the law was only intended to
apply to policies issued after June "a
which was the day that the law went
into effect, but we do not think that he
means that He explains further that
1t does not mean that the money shall
oe actually paid over, but that the po-
licy holder shall be- credited with his
equitable surplus
Mr.. Host requests the companies to
file statements setting forth which Of
the distribution periods they elect TO
comply with
This is what Mr. Host contended for
before, but the courts decided that
ma" did not mean must. There is no
question about the 'must" now, and
Mr. Host has won his righteous fight.
The insurance companies will have to
come to time and stop the piling up of
enormous SURPRISES at the expense of
policy holders to secure funds for "fren-
zied finance to gamble with, or they
will have TO cut Wisconsin from their
field of operations We think it will be
\ good thing for the state if it results in
shutting ont all eastern companies. -

honey bee as an insecticide. He trusts
60 1t rather than spraying. In recent

good and be the means of producing
more fruit than spraying the trees in
the ordinary manner. as carried out
even on most systematic and scientific
plans We are inclined TO favor the
bees, and for our part have given the
job into their hands entirely While
spraying in the proper season does not
conflict with the work OF the bees on

foolish enough TO spray their fruit

st. Petersburg, Jan. 30.--Owing to
the fact that placards similar TO those
which were displayed in Moscow have
been posted at Libau, signed by the
Governor Of Courland, Sir Charles Hard
inge, the British Ambassador, has made
i vigorous protest to Count Lansdorf,
the Foreign Minister, pointing out that
such conduct cannot but have deplor
able impression in England and produce
serious effect upon the friendly rela-
tions of the two countries.
The obnoxious placard asserted that
the strikes in Government workshops
and shipyards had been brought about
by the Vaccinations Of Japanese and
British agents, and that Japan and Eng
land were spending large sums of money
to prevent the departure Of the third
Pacific squadron from Libau.
Count Lamsdorff replied that the Min
lister Of the interior had telegraphed to
The authorities of Moscow instructing
them to remove Immediately all traces
of the plaeard complained Of.
His ExceIlency stated that the Sc
eurity Of the British Consul and colony
had been completely assured.

MESSAGE SENT CONGRESS
Suggests the Necessary Action by Con
gress = Sees Diminishing Re
gard for Sanctity of
Marriage.
MESSAGE SENT CONGRESS

washington, d. C., Jan. ao.--The Pres
ident sent a message to Congress today
calling attention to the fact that no sta
tistics on marriage and divorce have been
collected since 1856, and recommending
legislation.
The following IS the text Of the docu-
ment;
Il call the attention Of the Congress
10 the fact that no statistics have been
collected BY the federal government up
on the subject of marriage and divorce
since the year 1856, and that but few
Of the states have provisions for the
collection Of such statistics. The insti-
tuition Of marriage is, Of course, at the
very foundation of our social organiza-
ton. and all influences that affect that
institution are of vital concern to the
people Of the whole country. There Is
"a widespread conviction that the divorce
laws are dangerously lax, and indifter-
emily administered in some of the states
resulting in diminishing regard TOT
the sanctity Of the marriage relation.
aThe hope is entertained that co.
operation amongst the several states can
be secured to the end that there may
be enacted upon the subject Of marriages
and divorce uniform laws, containing
all possible safeguards for the security
Of the family. Intelligent and prudent
action in that direction will be greatly
promoted by securing reliable and trust.
worthy statistics upon marriage and d.
vorce. | deem the matter Of sufficient
general Importance to recommend that the
director OF the census be authorized BY
appropriate legislation to collect and
publish statistics pertaining TO that sub
ject covering the period from 1886 to the
present time.
