There is considerable argument go
ing the rounds of the agricultural press
as to the advantage of soaking the
seed potatoes in the formalin solution
some time before they are to be plant
ed. Plainly the only advantage in this
would be the matter of time saved at
a busy season of the year. On the
other hand, it is doubtful if there is
any saving in the plan. IT is a matter
of experiment worth trying, perhaps,
but why experiment when it is known
that the best results come from plant
ing the seed as soon after soaking as
possible? This one is sure of, and it is
better to work along this line than to
try doubtful experiments, except on
Il small scale Be careful and buy the
fcrmalin from a reliable source, else
there is apt to be trouble. Reports in

terated stuff on the market A good

Both houses Of the Legislature held
short sessions Friday morning, the Sen
ate postpOning consideration of its entire
calendar and the Assembly holding per
functory session, having cleaned up its
Fridays calendar Thursday. Although
no bills were advanced or passed, many
important ones were reported in by com
mittees. The Assembly passed the bill
opposed by the American Book Company
and favored by the independent book
companies, providing for the appointment
of commission to make 4 list of three
text books for each study taught in the
common schools of the State from which
lists all principals and teachers and
school boards shall select what books
shall be used in their respective schools.
The vote on it was 43 to %. The As

tenn bill by 4 vote of 80 to p. The
Social Democrats won quite a substantial
victory in saving from defeat the Streh-
low bill increasing the number Of fac
tory inspectors. The committee on man
ufactures recommended an increase from
six to fourteen, but the committee on
claims refused its sanction and recon-
mended the bill for indefinite postpone
ment. Mr.. Brockhausen introduced an
amendment increasing the number of in
spectors from six to ten and it prevailed
by vote of As to 80. The Governor
sent a message to the Assembly giving
the names of persons he has pardOned
or paroled from the different State penal
institutions during the last two years.

Quiet of Fatteninq Animals.

Probably all stockmen have noticed
that animals fatten best when they are
quiet, and they have also discovered
that it is possible for animals to run
the fat off their bodies" This is nc
fancy. The student of the animal
frame knows that the process by
which fat is run off" animals is a
simple one. All the carbonic acid gas
that is thrown off the lungs comes
from material that If not thrown of
would be made into fat or that has
been fat. The more active an animal
is the more rapidly he breathes.
which is necessary II he is to keep up
the creation of energy. 1t is just as
it is in a steam engine. The faster
the engine goes the fiercer must the
fire burn that is changing the carbon
(coaD into gas, and the fire can only
burn brightly IL there is a good draft
TO supply oxygen. The breathing OF
the animal is the same as the draft
in the smokestack of the engine. Its
only purposes are to take in oxygen
and cast out the carbonic acid gas

Cossacks are bivouacked in the streets
and patrols are circulating everywhere.
Barricades have been erected at. the
corners OF COgrodowa and Zelazua

men going TO work.
Mondays conditions are the result
of proclamation issued Saturday
night by the Social Democratic party

TO show the solidarity of their brethren
and TO protest against "the new and
