ITO BE Continued
The New Rate Bill.

1t is announced that the railroad reg
ulation plan embodied in the Esch-
Townsend bill of the last session of
congress will be retained in the meas
ures to be brought up for future con-
slderation, but with some modifca-
tons. The modified bill gives the in
terstate commerce commission power
to fix rates, or at least to change rates
Which it finds unreasonable, but these
new rates may be reversed by the
court OF transportation, should one be
appointed, or by the supreme court of
the United States. The bill also gives
the commission Jurisdiction over ter
mlnal roads, the rates of private car
companies and long and short haul
rates, with full authority to examine
railroad records and to prescribe how
the books and records shall be kept.
One of the questions to be fought
over is that Of court of transporta-
ton. Considerable opposition to this
feature was manifested at the last ses-
sion, but the trainers of the modified
bill have retained the court Should
the court be eliminated, in case the bill
becomes law, the supreme court will
have big addition to it's regular bust
ness. What the people want is equal
rates for freight The fact that the
maximum anywhere may be COMPARE
lively high or low, or the minimum low
Or high, has nothing to do with the
merits Of the question.

"A Little War With Savaees.

1t is not we'll to begin to scott at
Germany because her disciplined
troops and educated officers are held
up by the Hottentots and Herreros of
southwest Africa. The insurrection
began in 1903, and for two years there
has been a steady flow of troops to the
German colonies. A hundred millions
nave been spent, and the war is now
costing S125,00O day. The losses in
battle and by disease have been heavy,
and competent judges declare that the
fighting may last for years.
The German army is not the pattern
Of all military virtues, but it is doing
as we'll in southwest Africa as the
troops Of other nations have done in
similar circumstances. Great Britain
has had the experience again and
again with the Zulus and other say
ages, and cur Custer massacre and
the tragedy Of the Modoc lava beds
have not yet passed from memory. 4
platoon of men should have driven the
handful Of Modocs from the lava beds
in short order, but before the last of
the band was finished the Indians had
more than killed man for man among
the troops, who were skilled in savage

CHAPTER XII.

NHE first day spent as governess
to the family of Yellett remind
ed Mary Carmichael of those
a days mentioned in the opening
chapter Of Genesis, days wherein whole
geological ages developed and decayed.
Any era, geological or otherwise, she
felt might have had its rise, decline
and fall during that first day spent i'll
sheep camp.
She awoke to the sound Of faint tin
kings, and accepted the towering
peaks Of the Wind River mountains,
with their snowy nantes all shadowy
in the whitening dawn and the warm
er grays of budding foothills, as one
receives, without question, the fantas-
tic visions Of sleep. The faint tinkling
grew nearer, mingled with light pit
ter patter and a faroff baaing and
bleating. Then, as shadowy as the
sheep in dreams, great flock came
winding round the hill. In and out
through the sagebrush they went and
came, elusive as the early morning
shadows they moved among. The air

tons first morning could not have
promised more. 1t would have been
inconsistent in such place to waken
in house. The desert, that seemed
a lifeless sea, the sheep moving like
gray shadows, were all parts of big,
new world that had no need of houses
built by hands.
Ben, oldest of the Brobdingnag tribe,
who had greeted Mary's request to be
directed to 'the house" as a bit of dry
eastern humor, led the herd to pasture.
Two other male Brobdingnags came
from some sequestered spot in the
landscape and joined Ben Mary recog-
nized two more pupils.
Mrs. Yellett then unrolled the pillow
constructed the night previous of such
garments as she had been willing to
dispense with and put them on. The
vastness of her surroundings did not
prevent her from locating the minutest
article, and Mary gave her the respect

Bernard Shaw has been indulging in
some caustic remarks upon things
American, evidently blind to the fact
that he disports the most unpardon-
able bunch Of whiskers that ever found
root in the face of a civilized man.
Some things a man cannot help, but he
can control his beard. Shaw let's his

whiskers hide them.

Having seemingly exhausted the
heavens as a field for wild predictions,
Camille Flammarion, the French as
tronomer, is out with a prophesy that
the earth is going to turn into ice. If
Camille will call around next summer
people will give him and his theory a
brilliant ovation. Just at this season
the old notion that earth's insides are
on fire is more pleasing.

he expects to be somewhere else in
twenty years, if he has not bettered

half that time. But twenty years
pass more quickly than is expected,

Is curling up and needs replacing and
the house itself is worth one-half Of
it's value when new.
Yet it must be agreed that every
MN should build a house with the
idea of making it his permanent
home, adding to it as his needs grow,
but continually improving it and
identifying it. If for no other cause
than increasing it's selling value, he
should build we'll and improve. And
this applies ITO the surrounding
grounds, the outbuildings, etc., fully
as much as the home proper.
What is home without MOTHER

blessings, unless it Is real home, a
comfortable and a beautiful one?
All, there is a difference, and such a
wide difference, between an abode or
a mere dwelling place and a home.
Trying to treat this matter from a
practical standpoint, the Department
of Agriculture recently issued an H.
Illustrated bulletin on identifying back
yards. This applied to city and ST.
burban homes, but the idea is the
same everywhere.

If you have nothing bigger. For L
have in mind two people, a young
man and his wife, who started their
married life in rented city house
with back yard Is feet wide and
containing about one-fortieth OF an
acre. They had lived in the city all
their lives and knew nothing of the
wonders of plant and animal produc-
ton. But they commenced at once
to use their. ground. They planted
radishes and lettuce and some flow
'ers and trained tomatoes against the
fence, and they set hen. Their fail
ures and interesting experiences dur
ing the two years they lived thus
would fill volume. But the great re-
sult was that before the end of the
first year, they, who had never lived
outside their fodr walls, felt terribly
confined. They longed to get out and

Balanced RatiOns for Man and
Beast.

Two Farmers Bulletins of the De-
partment of agriculture, widely dis
similar in contents, yet treating of sub
jects which have closely-connected
rela tionship are the Feeding Of Farm
Animals and the Principles of Bread
Making, and both Of them have proven
so popular that their reprinting has
been required several times.
The feeding Of the animals on the
farm is a matter which every farmer
is studying more or less closely, tAe
more successful ones the most closely,
since it is a matter of constant expert
ment and inquiry to determine just
what is the best ration for work, meat
and dairy animals. While each mans
experience must be to great extent
his guide, there are certain laws, the
results of wide experiments, which af-
ford much aid to the intelligent feeder
and these are summarized in the bulle-
tin Observation-Disclosures Bulletin %.
What is known as balanced ration
is always the thing to be attained.
Food is divided into two general
classes; fat and heat producing,

"Ah," said the man, III we had only
had the advantages when we were
young which our children have here,
there would have been a lot more in
life for u.s.
And SO it is everywhere. It matters
little, If you live in brown stone
front with the brick pavement direct
ly under your window, whether you
have a plain or carved window sill,
but it does matter whether your front
or back yard is well kept and well
fenced and is prettily decorated with
plants and vines, and whether, if you
have more ground, it is poor, un-
attractive plot, or instead is a thing
Of beauty and joy, not only to you
but to all who see it.

are going to "fix up" their places.
They seldom get fixed. Before they
get fixed up with the little things a
home should have, they need fixing in
earnest--they are old places.
If as a people we could become ed
ucated to the idea of greater perma-
nency in our mode of living, of build

years, or doing something with the
idea in mind that we would not have
to redo it in ten or fifteen years

The Englishman lives in a mouse
which in all probability his father and
hts forefa theirs have lived in for a
dozen generations. Even where the
house is not owned by the resident,
the preferential right descends from
father to son to rent and occupy 1t.
It is a true home.
Americans are strongly imbued
with the idea of owning homes,
houses with accompanying plots OF
land: but as rule Americans are an
too careless, at the same time, about
creating bit of scenery or making
the home such an attractive abode as
will cause the traveller to pause a
moment and exclam: "What a pretty

of either, the ration is unbalanced.
Both of these bulletins can be OBJ

Corn, for instance is food rich in
carbohydrates and should be "bal-

nous food such as barley, bran, cow
peas or others of the legumes. A pc

reader a very clear understanding OF
the value of food for animals.
Food Value of Bread.
The second bulletin on Bread Max
ing, Farmers Bulletin 112, also goes
into the question of what is a balanced
ration, but for human food. AS corn

one-sided diet for man and while 1t
produces fat and energy or fuel for

skirts and they built a barn and NOV.
ed into it and lived there the first
year, while they were building their
house.
They Of once planted garden
which seemed to them like a real
farm after their tiny back yard, and
the first year they raised all the veg
etables they could eat, besides over
fifty chickens.
And since then they have gone on
identifying and embellishing this
place, until it is now a lovely country
residence, twenty per cent. higher In
value than it would have been If, five
years ago they had made it a mere
habitation.
In the first place they employed an
architect and built good house, one
which, with ordinary repairs, will
stand in good shape fifty years hence.
They painted 1t well. Many long
winter evenings of the Lrst year,
while they lived in the barn, were
