We give up our space entirely this
week to Mr.. Warren for his article on
birds. He has already many beautiful
specimens Of birds and great number
of the skins of little animals, which he
kindly showed US last Saturday. He
has made this study for years and can
speak with authority. He sends the
stomachs or gizzards of birds to bu-
reau of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington for scientific study of
their contents.
He was pleasant caller at the Office
Saturday and promised us for our next
paper an article on the rodents. Read

Little about the Birds

wonder how many of the common
birds around you can name. The rob-
ms of course you know and some Of the
others. But there are birds you see
every day that doubt if you have any
name for. All about on the prairies
just now, in ones, twos and threes are
some little gray birds, with pinkish
t;nge to their plumage, and a little
black tuft on each side of the head,
these are the horned larks. They stay
with US all the year round, but good
many come down from the north in the
winter and very likely some of ours go
south.
Just now on the prairie are hccks of
small birds which, when the fly, show
much white in their tails. These are
called longspurs, because the claw Of
the hind toe is much longer than any of
the others.
Along Bear creek few days ago
saw some sparrows that also have white
feathers in their tails but only one on
each side 1t shows when they fly.
When they begin to nest they will be
on the plains and toward evening you
will hear them singing very prettily, for
which reason they are called vesper
sparrows.
1t is in May that most of our smaller
birds arrive from their winter quarters.
Then if you watch the trees along the
creeks, you will see many kinds. There
will be more sparrows and finches and
many little birds, many of which are
marked with yellow and black and blue.
These are warblers of which there are
a number of different kinds. The males,
in the spring. are always much more
handsomely marked than the females.
Some spend the summer, some go far
thcr north, even to Alaska and British
America, as far as there are any trees
or bushes, and there are many others
that l cannot describe in the space at
my disposal. But watch and you will
see them.
Do you krow how much good the
birds do the year round? Some kinds
live almost entirely on insects the year

Gleanings and Comment.
BOUND OVER

D. G. Greathousc, Walter and Ralph
Caddick and Ben Csddidk were each
bound over to the district court this af-
ternoon in Justice Squires court on
on action brought against them by the
State on complaint. of E. House and
Others for being Interested in the skin
ming of cattle. They were each released
on $500 bond.
When arraigned before the justice
yesterday afternoon they plead for time
to get ready for hearing and were
granted until today at one O'Clock. Af-
ter the defendants had named their
witnesses they desired subpoenaed and
after the sheriff asked. for guaranty
of his fees for the service of the sub
poenas which was not Forthcoming
from the defendants, defendants asked
for change of venue to another pre-
cinct upon the charge of prejudice cf
the court and that the ether justi -e in this
precinct was a material witness which
was denied, for probably more than one
reason.
In the case of the State VS.. d. G..
Greathouse, the testimony of the de-
fense was that the defendant had Sc
cured some five hides, bearing cattle
association brands, of Levi Mobley for
ten cents Per pound, Mr.. Mobley hav-
ing purchased the Same of two trappers,
strangers from Oklahoma, one named
Myers, over the Kansas line in Kansas,
in the presence of the defendant and
VIM. A. Greathousc, for $1.40 each.
The hides were delivered at the Great
house ranch by the strangers for drying
and couple of weeks later taken to
Syracuse by the defendant where a
Colorado hide inspector, E. House, Sc
cured possession Of the hides fer the
cattle association in justice court pro-
ceedings at Syracuse. e. House and E.
P. Mcfarland bore testimony that two
of the principal witnesses had on one
occasion avoided telling them the truth
and one witness assented. The hides
were not produced as evidence.
In the case of the State vs. Walter
and Ralph Caddick Robert Pierce testi-
fled for the State that they found nine
hides in possession of Walter, Ralph
and Ben Caddick, bearing 24-circle, box
V and T brands, owned by the Phillips
Investment company. The hides were
inspected under search warrant the 26th
of March No evidence was introduced
as to how the defendants came by the
hides and the defendants were bound
over.
In the case against Ben Caddick L..
l.. Knox testified that he saw the de-
fendant skinning box V COW on Dry
creek, not far from his home on Horse
creek. Defendant said he was getting
fifty cents per head for skinning. R.
w. Pierce testified that he represented
the Phillips Investment company, own
ers of the box V COW, and that no enc
in thi. county is authorized to skin any
of their cattle.
District Attorney McHcndric COR
Quoted the prosecution and advised &C
casionally with Attorney Hillyer.
District court sits June 7th and there
is likely to be H battle, expensive fo-
the county, but good in that the prac-
tice Of skinuing fallen animals without
authority will be eliminated in this coun-
-, g r--c.i.ai!y ~.

through. These have to migrate to
warmer climates or they would starve
in cold weather. Others, like the
horned larks already spoken of, and,
all sparrows, eat many seeds, though
many feed their young en- insects. But
mcst of the seeds which they eat are
these. of weeds, which they thus destroy
and keep fssIl spreading. The Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington has
examined the stomachs CT very. many
birds to find out what they cat. From
these examinations it.has been found
that nearly all birds are help to the
farmer. 1t was estimated that cer-
tain kind of sparrow must eat a great
many tons of weed seeds in the state Of
Iowa every winter and there are other
kinds of sparrows that stay there in
winter too, 80 that the amount of weed
seeds they all eat must be enormous.
The greater number of the insects
eaten by birds are probably more or
less harmful in some way. The COM
mon little sparrow hawk probably eats
many more grasshoppers than it does
sparrows or any other small birds, in
fact it likely eats more mice than birds
and mice are often great pests on u
farm or ranch. And the large hawks
you see about cat more mice, ground
squirrels and prairie dogs than anything
else. The owls are all great mouse de-
stroyers. Better let the large hawks
have chicken or two once in while.
They will pay for it with tile other
things they destroy.
Whenever you have the time watch
the birds and see what they are eating.
Il you find 4 nest with young birds in
it, watch it from little distance and
see how often the parents feed their
children. Ii you can, see how many
times they feed in an hour or half an
hour. If you have field glass you can
often see what they are giving the
young. But be careful not TO get too
close or you will make the old birds de-
sert the nest. Some birds are much
tanner than others and will feed the
young when you are very close. while
some will not come to the nest unless
you are good ways off.
But you can learn much that way
and, if you put down how often they
feed and what they feed, in short
time you may have quite lot of inter
esting and very likely valuable informa-
ton. In fact there is always some
thing to be learned watching birds and
small animals. Keep your eyes open
all the time and you are likely to see
something new any minute. 1t may
not be new to others. but if it is TO you,
it is something added to your stock of
knowledge ard SO is worth while.

THE COTTON CROP OF 1904
It Exceeded That of the Year Pre-
vious by at Least Thirty
Five Per Cent.

The census bureau has issued the
final report on the cotton crop grown
in 1904. showing a total production of
13.5S4,457 bales of 500 pounds. The
crop exceeds that of 1903 by 3,491, 1856
bales. or 35 per cent. The largest crop
produced in the United States prior to
1904 was that of 1898. which amounted
to II, l,235 900 bales. or 16 per cent less
than the crop of 1904. The average
crop for the five-year period ending
with 1903 was 9,s92 .047 bales, or 26 per
cent. less than the crop of 1904.
Among the cotton producing states
Texas has held the first rank for 20
years. Its production in 1904 was
3134,677 bales Georgia with a pro-
duction of l.960,151 bales, was second.
having passed Mississippi, which held
the second rank in 1903. Mississippi
is third and Alabama fourth. With
the exception of Kansas, Arkansas and
Texas all the cotton-producing states
show larger crops for 1904 than for
any other year. The states which show
the most notable increases compared
with 1903 are Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina, the largest increase
being found in Georgia, where the crop
exceeded that of 1903 by 6lA,380 bales
or 4s per cent. The increase In Ala,
bama is 46 per cent. In South Caro-
lima AZ per cent. and in Texas 27 pei
cent. The increase in the combined
production of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory over 1903 is 70 per cent. The
report shows an increase of cotton
seed mills from 357 in 1900 to 715 In
1904.

USE FEWER pockEr.kNIvEs
Demand for Them In New York City
Has Fallen Away In Late
Years.

There Is not 90 much call for pock-
et-knives in New York as there used
to be-" said man who has been in
the cutlery business in this city for
40 years, according to the Sun. There
was time when every man carried
pocket-knife, but now you might
stop 80 men in the downtown section
and ask for a knife. and not more
than a dozen could accommodate you.
I'VE do not carry anything like the
stock In this line that we did in other
times. Now one person in an office
or business house keeps the pencils
sharpened for the boss and the help.
The manicure shop also has cut into
the field Of the pocket-knife, and men
who do not patronize the manicure
shop resort to nail scissors and files.
Some of the old brands of knives
which used to be good sellers the year
round have entirely disappeared from
our cases, and nearly so from the fac.
tories. When did you ever use Bar
every boy had one. For the small.
er youngsters there was the dog-knife.
II was so called because the handle
was an imitation of dog on run.
The dogknife used to be a sort
of necessity in boys stocking on
Christmas. haven't seen or heard of
a dogknife since the civil war
"A long time ago the pocket-knife
most in demand was the four-inch
springback. One reason why II had
such a run was that II was mighty
handy weapon in fight. When the
blade was open 1t stayed put until
your pressed a spring which closed it.
Many who could not be induced to
carry a revolver did not hesitate to
keep the spring-back knife where It
would come handy.
"The old horn-handles have nearly
disappeared from the city. They are
still used in the country stores, but
the city man who carries pocket
blade wants something that will not
wear out his pockets. and which will
not be any extra weight.
There used to be a combination
knife that was a good deal in demand.
In addition to its blade II contained
corkscrew, a pick, an awi, and small
pair of scissors. There is no demand
in the city for such knife now. The
corkscrew has its uses still. and its
place, but its place is on the side.
board. And, then, you know. most
decoctions as they are now put up
do not require a corkscrew. When
man wants a drink in this busy age
he wants 1t quick, and the bottles are
so arranged that you unscrew the ar
rangement at the top and the drink
is ready"

THE CAPTURE OF COBRAS.
Snake Charmer Strikes Up Tune
and Helper Blinds Serpent
s,,u with Dust.

The death dealing cobra Is passion
ately fond of music, and it is through
this means that its capture is often ac-
complished. The men in India who can
effect the capture of these deadly rep
tiles must be possessed of remarkable
skill or their lives are forfeited, says the
New York Herald.
When a cobra takes up its abode In
the neighborhood of a dwelling house
II is customary to send for the profess
sional snake charmer. One Of them
strikes up a tune near the place where
the snake is supposed to be located. No
matter what the creature may be do
ing, it is at once attracted by the sound
of music 1t emerges slowly from its
hiding place and strikes an attitude in
front of the performer.
There II is kept engaged with the
music while the other man creeps up
behind with handful of dust. At a con-
venient moment when the cobra is
standing motionless. this man sudden
ly throws the dust over the head and
eyes of the snake. Immediately the CO.
bra falls its length upon the ground and
remains there for one short second
out the second is enough.
With a movement like lightning the
man seizes the body of the PROSTATE
serpent Just below the head. In great
anger the cobra winds itself round and
round the arm of its captor, but to no
purpose, for 1t cannot turn its head and
bite
II the fangs are to be extracted at
once, the captor presses his thumb on
the throat Of the cobra and thus COM
pels II to open its mouth; the fangs are
then drawn with a pair OF pincers. II,
however, he wishes to keep the snake
intact for the present the musician
comes to help him and forcibly unwinds
the coil and places the body in basket
all but the head, which is firmly held
by the other man. He presses down
the lid to prevent the cobra from es-
Gaping, and suddenly the captor thrusts
the head in and banks the lid.
A very expert performer can capture
the snake single handed, though 1t is
highly dangerous. While playing with
one hand, he throws the dust sideways
with the other and captures the snake
with the same hand. The whole action
must be like a flash of lightning, for a
half seconds delay or the merest bung-
ling in throwing the dust or catching the
snake would prove fatal to the operator

INCLINED ROLLING ROADS.
New Invention That Makes the Az
cent Of Steep Hills Easy
for Teams.

A novel and important invention, the
first rolling roadway ever built, has
recently been completed and placed In
operation In Cleveland. BY means of
1t teams with heavy loads are carried
up 20-foot grade-forward 420 feet
and upward 6 feet in four minutes or
less, says the Columbus (O.) State Jour-
nal.
In Cleveland, as in many other cities,
the wagon route for a large volume
of heavy traffic is necessarily up sew
eral steep grades. The city proper Is
upon an elevation and the docks and
several of the principal railroad sta
tions are at the foot of long inclines
over which several streets lead. On
Factory street. the site of the first
roadway, the incline for many years
has been traversed by heavy laden
teams which climbed the grade at a
snail's pace and with great difficulty.
Under the new regime the team
ing roadway and is carried to the top
without any effort at all on the part
of the horses.
The rolling roadway Is great end
less belt which is operated by means
of electric power. and which weighs
SO tons 1t is the invention of Col. Isaac
d. Snead. of Cincinnati.
At the top of the hill there is a
small tower. II is from this point that
the electric power is applied. When
| the wagons have been clamped to the
roadway at the start the man in the
tower is notified by means of an elec-
trio signal, and the roadway begins to
move at the rate of some four miles
an hour
Ten vehicles can be placed upon the
roadway at one time. The daily ca
pacity is about 600 vehicles A toll of
from ten to 25 cents is charged. For
foot passengers two cents toll Is
charged.
Since the completion of this road
way the railroads in the vicinity have
begun the erection of large ware
house and are planning to put in ad-
ditional team tracks. The activities
in that locality have more than dou-
bled
Another roadway of this kind is to
be built in the same city at Mandrake
street, at a cost of 100000. While the
first one is built along the grade of
the hill, this one will be suspended in
the air The street will be extended
by the building of an iron bridge and
the rolling roadway will be at right
angle to this extension. There will
be substantial iron supports sc feet
high and ~ feet apart under the via
duct.
An especially commendable feature Of
this new plan of transportation is
that II is especially humane to horses,
so many of which have been abused
and even injured in all large cities in the
hauling Of heavy loads. II
