SALT BOX AND TANK HOUSE.
Convenient Arrangement by Which
The Animals are Able to Attend
to Their Own Wants.

One of the subscribers of the Prai-
rie farmer furnishes a photograph of
a unique salt box for cattle and
horses from which we reproduce the
accompanying drawing. 1t is built on
the rear side of the tank house and
occupies a space of about foot wide
1t is about two feet long and two feet
high. The floor is about three inches
lower than the door sill so the salt
doesn't fall out. In stormy weather
the door may be closed, but where
rock salt is used very little attention

1t is an interesting fact that the
nneness of the fiber throughout its
entire length forms fairly good rec

A Kind shepherd's Advice.

Avoid extremes in all the dealings
with sheep. Keep them gentle; never
go among them without something
for them, if it be nothing more than
kind attentions Never allow other
stock to trespass on them Know
where they are at all times. Give
them liberty

is open the year around. The back
side of this box is about IS inches
high, with slanting roof. This point,
however, is minor feature, since the
rear side could be carried up to the
roof. If desired.

The weanlna of Lambs.

The better conditioned lambs are at
the time of weaving the better they re-
quire to be kept, and in most cases
the food provided should exceed in
richness that which they previously
received, including the milk of the
ewes. Instead of taking the lambs
from the ewes, the ewes should be
taken from the lambs,

Regulations -... =. 10.

A draft of an ordinance regulating
the construction and maintenance Of
outside electric wires has been pre-
pared by Inspector George T. Ray
mond for consideration by the joint
council committees on underground
wires and ordinances next Friday.
The various provisions are largely a
re-enactment Of the present under
ground wire ordinance. One new fea-
ture proposed, by Mr.. Raymond pro-
vides that high potential wires must be
covered with special insulation and col
ored so as to be easily distinguished
from other wires which are. compare
lively harmless.
Another departure provides for sys-
tenn Of cutoffs for the street railway
trolley and feedwires SO that the cur
rent may be cut off in any district in
the event Of a fire.

ELMER HOLDS WHIP HAND
GREAT WESTERNS PROPOSAL TO
OUT BAsING RATE FALLS ON
COLD EARS.

Chicago, Feb. 20.--Railroads having
lines between Chicago and the twin
cities may find themselves engaged in
a rate war as result of the action of
the Burlington in establishing tourist
sleeper service in connection with the
Hill lines west of the twin cities. At
any rate, proposal is now before the
transcontinentaI and the Western Pas
senger associations to reduce the basing
rate, Chicago to the twin cities, from
$1l.50 to 5000 on business for points
beyond st. Paul.
The proposal to cut the basing rate
was made by J. p. Elmer, general pas
senger agent of the Great Western, and
the vote was to be taken today. It is
understood that most of the lines do
not favor the, proposition, which will
leave Mr.. Elmer free to take such ,ac-
tion as he sees fit to meet the competi-
ton of the tourist sleepers.
When the Burlington announced that
beginning Feb. Is, it would run tourist
sleepers between Chicago and the twin
cities, and that the rate would be 81 a
berth, the Milwaukee at once planned
to meet the competition. It announced
that it would install tourist sleeper
service locally between the two points.
This placed the two lines at an advan-
tage over their competitors, who did
not feel justified in establishing such a
service. .= Liz
The principal objection raised was
that the MilwaukeeSs service was local
and not thru, which was something I'M
heard of in the tourist sleeper. business
The Milwaukee officials answered the
objections by pointing out that the
tourist sleepers on trains between Chi
cago and Missouri. river points accept
local tickets when not overcrowded by
thru business - .ss IT, -

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, the world s
greatest tragedienne, will arrive over
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
at 1920 am. Thursday, and will, on
Thursday night, open her season OF
three days at the Auditorium with g La
Sorciere,' one Of the greatest Of the
Victorien Sardou plays.
There is a strong demand for seats
for the opening performance and the
"Phedre'' matinee, and it is a certain
ty that Nine. Bernhardt will be greeted
by an audience which will tax even the
capacity Of that enormous house. Mail
orders continue to arrive from out-of,
town points, and a clerical force is kept
busy handling the line at the Metropoli-
tan music store.
Minneapolis was fortunate in the Sc
lection Of repertory for the great ac-
tress season, as it covers a sweep of
the highest in drama. from the popular
Sardou and Dumas plays to the majes-
tic poetic tragedy Of Jean Racine.

Everything in the dramatic art is
shown, the shifting situations running
the gamut of human emotions, blending
the smile into the tear, the sensation
of joy into the blacklist sorrow, the
merry peal Of laughter into the most
fiery passion and the most tear-com-
polling scenes. \,
Nine. Bernhardt will appear in her
four favorite roles, for the simple rea-
son that, as she always says, her IA
vorite role is the role she happens to
be playing. In Ella Sorciere,' the
lovers of the French drama will have
an opportunity to compare the work of
the premiere tragedienne with that of
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who has been
seen here in the character Of Zoraya-
the Moorish girl whose love for Armand
forms the basis of the story.
The bill will be Ella Sorciere, y
Thursday night; "Camille,' Friday
night; "Phedre,' Saturday afternoon
and ala Tosca,' Saturday night.
