Fresh Air for the Hen.

Hens kept in cold quarters and fed
heavily produced eggs with strong
germs, which Matched we'll, says Coun-
try Life in America. On the other
hand, poultry kept in artificially
warmed houses laid eggs with weak
germs, which Matched weak chickens.
The results were considered in favor
of fresh air and plenty of it even if it
was cold" In study of the dura-
ton of fertilization after the removal
of the male bird, records were kept
of the number of eggs which Matched
or which were shown to be fertile.
The last trace of fertility was noticed
II days after separation. The infer
tilted eggs had superior keeping quail
tiles, 80 the author recommends that
as rule male birds should not be kept
! with hens depended upon for market
eggs. Experience showed that where
there is variety in rations and care in
feeding them. and sufficient floor space
there is little likelihood of egg eating
or feather picking, Steamed lawn
clippings were fed to the station poul-
try three Of four times a week and eat
en- with evident relish. Clover leaves
treated in the same way were also
much liked.

More Gold in the Sea.

The subject of gold in sea water and
the possibility of profitably extracting
it is fascinating one, says the Lon
don Globe. A professor in the Univer-
sity of Brussels, M. P. de Wilde, has
taken up the subject and proposes a
new method of getting out the precious
metal. Sea water is treated with a
strong solution of chloride of tin, at
the rate of five cubic centimeters
(about one-third cubic inch) to the
ton. The gold forms with the TN the
compound known as purple Of Cassius,
and when lime water is added, TINS is
fixed on the faky precipitate of mag
nesium hydrate, which falls to the
bottom. From this the gold is set free
by the addition of potassium cyanide,
and can then be recovered by the usual
we'll known methods. Professor de
Wilde considers that much of the gold

bottom. Whether the gold can be
probably extracted by the, above meth

For Mayor Of Fargo.

Forum: Yesterday afternoon about
100 of the business men and taxpayers
of the city of Fargo met in the office of
c. l.. Wheeler & Co. On request, the
object of the meeting was stated by
Colonel Morton. who said that with
out regard to factions or parties the
taxpayers of the city wanted man for
mayor who would conduct the citys
affairs In Il business-like manner and
relieve them of any unnecessary bur-
dens. From the record made during
the past year he felt that all had con-
fidence that Mayor Wall should be
continued as chief executive.

WHERE WOLF SHOWS SKILL.
Wonderfat Intelligence Displayed In
Eluding His Enemies.

The wolves now found in Jackson
county, says the Kansas City Star, are
in size between the coyote of the west
ern plains and the big wolves found
in the Ozark region. In general ap-
learance they bear resemblance to
the Scotch coolie dog. They live in
unfrequented places, generally in the
timber or along the streams, and a
Iavorite abode is in caves or under
overhanging lodges of stone.
Scratching out a shallow hole in the
ground. they line it with small sticks
and dry leaves. Here the mother wolf
,anes care or her young while the
father is securing the country for
miles around in search of food. He
is rarely seen by day, and then only
TOR an instant, for he seems to melt
away like a mist into the weeds or
brush, his tawny hide making it easy
for him to disappear from sight
1t is said that he has an especial
liking for mutton, especially young
lambs, which fall an easy prey to him,
and that he is most frequently found
where sheep are numerous. But he
will not turn his nose up at tender
little pigs, and when he cannot find
ether things more to his liking he will
rot scruple to become common
chicken thief.
But his skill in Guiding his enemies,
especially human, is remarkable, and
this is one of the most aggravating
things about him. If a hunter sue
ceeds in getting within gunshot of
him the chances are 10 to / that no
damage will be inflicted. His hide is
so thick and tough and is covered with
such a heavy coat of fur that an or
binary discharge from a shotgun has
little or no effect. With an ease that
is exasperating he simply lopes out of
Danger and is soon lost in the brush.

MEN IN BIG DEMAND.
Five Hundred Woodsmen Could Find
Work at Present In Woods.

Announcement that the soft spell is
about over and another cold wave ex-
pected was received with pleasure by
the loggers and all concerns interest
ed in the annual harvest of logs from
the woods. During the past few days
operations in most of the camps have
been practically suspended by reason
of the soft roads and as all the camps
are making extra efforts to bring their
output up to the average the delay
was most vexatiOus.
"Still short of men," was the re-
Spouse of several of the employment
agents yesterday when spoken to on
the labor situation. There are very
few idle men around the city at pres
ent and If any are idle it is from
choice as the demand is large and
the wages for ordinary work in the
camps are $500 per month higher
than they have ever been. The lowest
price now offered is $500 per month
for the swampers, while other classes
of labor required in the camps COM
mand $500 which notably drivers of
four horse teams.
1--WE could place between 200 and
500 men this week." said the manager
of one employment agency looking
wistfully around the empty room and
out into the busy street as though
seeking possible solution of the diff
fculty or perhaps hoping that an army
If men would suddenly jump from be-
meath the pavement. Nothing hap
rened, however, and after meditative
spell he continued:
Some years ago we could get all
the men we wanted and had plenty to
turn away at $50 month-but things
have changed. The mills are getting
about all they need, as many of the
men prefer to work in the city, but
there is not logging outfit in the
country that would. not be glad to
have from rs to so more men. We are
bothered a great deal this year by
men who go to the camps in gangs
and, as one contractor expressed it,
'dangle' around for two or three days
and then either come back or shift
over to some neighboring camp where
they play the same game. They have
developed class of regular tramp
lumberjacks knowing that they are
always sure of few good meals at
each camp"
ANY old thing is welcome as lum-
berjack this winter" said John Reilly,
who has large contract near Ely.
Cali the contractors have had

of room at present for 500 good men

man ABOUT TOWN

Nothing new but politics." said a
we'll known news giver" to the Man
as he hustled down Third street to-
Cav. And that seems to be the pre-
vailing subject Of discussion. Mr.. Din
me nay Oe enjoying himself in the
west but he can not possibly be max
ing more friends than the number here
at his old home who are waiting the
chance to vote for him as mayor of
Grand Forks.
There was no doubt about it. It
was real, live robin. A dozen peo-
lle saw him, as he threw out his chest
and warbled of few lines just to
show that his throat was clear. The
leople were all sober, respectable citi-
zens, on their way to their dinners at
room today.
The robin sat In a tree, as self
respecting robins should. The tree was
located between Fourth and Fifth
streets on Chestnut street. The date
is Feb. %. 1906. All of which goes to
show that Grand Forks is we'll within
the banana belt.
But there are wise robins and fool
ish robins. This may be one Of the
foolish, rash, young yearlings that has
been tempted from its sunny south
prematurely. II he is wise, he will
begin to burn up the air behind him,
hitting the trail for New Orleans, for
no wise robin is caught north of the
Ohio river in February, even IL it is
mild winter.
1t would be a burning shame for
such q sociable, courageous, and alto
gether desirable robin to land on his
back, with a pair of stiff little legs
pointing heavenward from some ash
pile.
He had been acting on the theory
that the early bird catches the worm,
but in this instance It is more likely
that he will catch cold.

is the possibility that he u dragging

OF that tramp robin, who In a moment

himself He said he was not an au-

home In Alabama, or wherever it Is
that robins go when copper stock mag
mates strike out for Ormond beach, 1t
was nobody's business but the robins,
and that having made his bed he would
have to lie in 1t. He suggested that
perhaps the robin was overdue with
his rent on his Alabama nest, and had
to move, but the robin bore every ap-
pearance of being a prosperous, we'll

have about the social standing of a

serve to stir up controversy.
