Shade InDOrtant

Now, the tree-pl0nting time is at
hand, every poultryman should en-
deayop to plant a few fruit trees near
the poultry house, not little. small
twigs. which will not furnish shade or
fruit for several years, but the largest
that can be found.
There are many kinds Of fruit trees
that will bear the second year. and the
fruit will add TO the profits of the
poultry yard.
Plums, especially the new Japanese
varieties, are very fine, while cherries,
peaches and apples all do well.
IT the orchard has already been
planted it will be better to arrange the
poultry houses so that the fowls will
become accustomed to staying there.
There is no better place for them.
and they will keep the insects away
from the trees.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVDR NOTES
MAY SIXTH.
Among the Wheat or the Tares:
Where am II? Matt. 10. 24-3s.

The wheat is the rule the tare the
exception, in every field.
If the church keeps awake, its
field will keep clear-of tares and all
other evil.
The tares are more prominent
than the wheat, because their heads
are empty,-there is no grain to pull
them over So with men.
Judge not" is a command for all
times, and especially for the times
when Judgment is obvious and easy.
Suggestions.
If you are sure you are the only
wheat-stalk in the field, you are
quite certainly a tare.
The kind Of Christian Christ re-
JolceH over has no time for hunting
up the sins of others.
We are to make men better where
they are.
This parable does not mean that
unworthy members may not be ex-
PEELED from the church; but it must be
done only under the sure guidance of
God.
illustrations.
The best way to get rid of tares is
to crowd the soil full of wheat
roots.
No farmer fears to enrich his farm,
saying, so much the more food for
the weeds" He does not intend to
have weeds.
1t is the abandoned fields that
grow up with worthless plants; they
are the business Of such fields, the
accidents Of titled fields.
The farmer knows that he may
make a mistake in sowing his field,
and SOW some weeds; but he sows.
Quotations.
If the wheat does not seek to
change the tares into wheat, the
wheat will degenerate into tares.-F.
N. PelOubet.
Where evil is clear and open, we
may not hesitate to deal with it; but
where 1t Is questionable, we had bet
ter hold our hand till we have fuller
guidance.-C. II. Spurgeon.

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN
summary of Conditions at the Close
of Winter and First week
in April.

Weekly weather bulletin for week ending
April 9, 1906:
January and February were characterized
by high temperature and a small def
cheney in precipitation. The temperature
was almost continuously high in January
with only two moderately cold periods
on the sth and 22d, and these were Of
very short duration, lasting only forty
eight to sixty hours each. In February
the temperature was about seasonable
from the 4th TO the 18th, but the rest Of
the month was almost continuously warm.
Practically all Of the precipitation of these
months was snow. The amount OF snow
fall in each storm was small and the high
temperature following melted II rapidly,
so the ground was free from snow most Of
the period and at no time was there more
than light covering, two or three inches
in depth.
March was a cold month with an excess
in precipitation, most of which occurred in
the form OF snow. The ground was covered
with snow almost continuously until the
last week. Melting snow and rain made the
soil very wet at the end Of the month.
The following table gives the precipita-
ton for each of the first three months Of
the year for a few selected stations. also
the total amount and normal for the same
period:

No overtures have come to the CONNER
cal club from either the Milwaukee or the
Northwestern in the matter of rates from
Omaha to South Dakota and the executive
committee OF the club is becoming exceed
ingly impatient Just to show that 1t is
in earnest and means TO do everything pos
sible to secure a reduction for Omaha of
the South Dakota rate to the Sioux City
basis, the executive committee, at its last
meeting Tuesday, authorized Commissioner
Z. ]. McNann to go to Washington and
look into the records of the Interstate Com
merce commission for information which
he may need to bring the railroads into
line. He will leave for Washington the
latter part of the week
1t has been several weeks since the club
made its strongest and ostenslby the last
plea to the railroads concerned, and as vet
no definite results have come. Mr.. Nc
Vann has been to Chicago several times to
see the railroad officials and no definite
promises have been made The committee
has decided It is time to use other means
to influence the roads.
The jobbers say there is discrimina-
ton against Omaha in favor Of Sioux City
Two years ago the rates from Sioux City
to South Dakota were lowered, but those
from Omaha remain unchanged 1t is the
claim of the jobbers that they are en-
titled to rates on the same basis as Sioux
City.
Henry T. Clarke addressed the club on
the subject of the work of the National
Rivers and Harbors congress and invited
the club to become a member OF thhe con-
gress on payment of a membership fee of
SIS. A vote of thanks to Mr.. Clarke was
passed and he was given assurance that
the question of membership would be taken

without the formality of securing
building permits. City Trustee Force
Parker brought the matter to light
several days ago by the announce
ment that not less than six structures
We're now under construction for

Three hundred dollars was the price
paid for ten feet of land adjoining an
alley rear of the Casa del Mar hotel.
The purchase was made during the
week by the city and was made nee
essary in order to carry out contem-
plated improvements. 1t is the inten-
tion to widen the alley, which is one
block in length, sufficiently for teams
to pass.
