More than $50 of the black eggs laid
by plant lice are known to have been
eaten by a single bird in one day. AS
Stunning that one chickadee eats on an
average twenty-five eggs per day, an
estimate far below the actual number,
over 5000 eggs will have been con-
sumed during the months of December,
january. February and March. Each
one of these eggs represents the future
form of plant louise known as the
''stem mother" which, no mishaps oc-
curing to cut short the natural life of
any of her descendants, would, accord
ing to Huxley, produce in ten genera
tions a mass of organic matter equiva-
lent to the bulk of 500,O00000 human
beings. or the whole population of the
Chinese empire.
The apple plant louise has normally

prove that the chickadee is the bird
that eats the egg, that matches the
louse, that breeds the plague, that
knocks the orchardist out. 1t has been
further said by a reliable investigator
that mo bird compares with it in de-
stroying the female cankerworm moths
and their eggs" He estimates that one
bird destroys $500 cankerworm eggs

THE DESPISED RAZOR-8ACK HOG
FURNISHES THE MOST DE
LICIOUS HAM.

A Chicago packer who knows the
meat business from ranch to res
taurant has surprised some people
by the statement that the prize corn
fed hogs of the West that figure in
the county fairs and look so impress
sive in the pictures are not nearly
so highly esteemed by Ihe consumer
as the acorn-fed porker OF Virginia
and the South lean and hungry
as any Cassius. the southern razor
back learns early TO shift for himself
and pick up the best morsels from
the world of food. The razorback
cannot lay claim to long and lordly
pedigrees and does not get his name
In the registry books or his picture
In the farm journals. No Stalled
life OF ease for him; no days ease
and sleep in the protected pen. ris-
ing and waking only TO take his
meals us the feeder urges him to take
another slice. The razorback, in or
der to save his bacon" must have
a keen ear and swift foot Some
OF them develop speed like race
horse and are az hard to catch as a
sand-country flea.
But though his back may be
sharp 1t will cut through q rail fence
and his sides he as lean as a Kan
sas farmer in drouth time, the ra-
zorback has his reward. He feasts
on the sweet and succulent acorns
| that fall from the shady oaks and
drinks the pure water OF iimpid coun-
try streams. He is free as the air
and though he sometimes goes hum
cry IL gives him good digestion and
a keen appetite that the corn-fed
-pampered western hog never
knows. 1t is a pleasure to know that
the world is coming to appreciate
the merits of this creature. who from
very pighood leads the strenuous
life.
When the southern hog at last
comes to the knife he dies In a good
cause. Men may praise the capon of
France, the roast beef OF old Eng

Teachers
Salaries
Changes
FEW SLIGHT RAISES, BUT THE
LEGISLATURE is EXPECTED TO
BOOST THEM ALL.

A few of the public school teachers
got small raises in the readjustments
of salaries for the coming term, and
it was found that there was slight
surplus in the available fund, owing to
savings from the vacation salaries ac-
count. The total sum of the raises is
only about $500 per month, divided
among about $50 teachers, so that there
is little real difference.
The salaries being paid run as low as
$25 per month in some cases. This is
for uncertificated teachers, and is the
poorest salary ever paid here. The
highest paid is 5000 per month. In re-
arranging the salaries for the coming
term, the Board did not raise any of
the higher salaries, but put the extra
money where it seemed to be the most
called for.
A general raising of salaries is ex-
pected to take place after the legisla-
ture meets, for all parties have de-
clared for it. The new appropriations
will allow them better wages through
out, and it would not be a surprise to
many IL there is special appropria-
ton act passed at once, making the
desired changes. The cutting down Of
the salaries has proved generally un-
popular and the legislators will all
come to the session prepared to boost
them.

Lincoln L. McCandless this morning
admitted to Senator Achi that he
would be a candidate for denomination
to the Senate and that he would run
for delegate to the Territorial conven-
ton. For some time past McCandless
has been mentioned for a second term
but 1t was not until this morning that
his intentions became known. He had
been mentioned as a possible delegate
to Congress and it was understood
that he would accept that nomination
if it were offered to him. Now he evil

ed to him so he will come out for the

Mr.. McCandless is serving his first
term in the Senate and it is thought
that he will be returned if he gets the
nomination, as he is a good man and
has the party back of him.
Ach stated this morning that the
candidacy of Vida for Deputy Sheriff is
nothing but a blind to fool Captain
Sam Johnson. Achi said "Of course
it is blind and Johnson is killing him
