Estimating Cotton Yields and
Cotton Consumption.
New Orleans Picayune.


1t is an old saying that crop
is not made until it is harvested, =,
and it is equally true that the
size of crop is not determined
until the last bale is counted.
Last years experience proved a
salutary lesson in this respect.
Despite the estimates by the
Government and a score of au
thorities, and in spite, too, Of the
early ginners' reports by the GEN.
sus bureau, the crop was under.
estimated, indicating clearly
that neither early estimates nor
early census reports are in any
way reliable guides to the true
size of the crop.
If there is proneness at the
beginning of the season to under
estimate cotton crops, there is
an even greater proneness to un.
derestimate consumption. In all
but very few years the con-
sumption of raw cotton has ex-
ceeded the early estimates, show
ing clearly that the requirements
of the world have fully over ta-
ken production and have been
kept within bounds only by the
higher prices exacted for the
raw material. MIR. Ellison now
estimates that the whole world
will require this year 70, 100000
bales. On the basis of past ex
perience 1t is perfectly safe to
add from 100000 to 100000
bales to this estimate. With
that addition, which leaves but
little margin for putting away
surplus stocks, there ought to be
no fear of any but paying prices
for producers of cotton, no mat
ter what the crop may turn out
to be, even should it reach Mr..
Buston's figure of 100000
bales, which it probably will not,
as that gentleman, looking at
the crop entirely through spin
ners' spectacles, generally over
shoots the mark by good mar
gin. 1t would really seem to be
a more profitable occupation this
season to closely study consump
ton than to bother about the
production.

EVOLUTION OF THE HORSE.
Missing Link in Equine Descent at
Last Discovered.

New York, Jan. 31-At last the
chain of equine evolution is complete.
After years of search, and Just when
all hope Of success had been abandoned
the American Museum of Natural his
tory, New York, has been rewarded
by the discovery of remains of the
mountain horse" or Orohippus. This
/ discovery fills in the last gap in the
record which science has long en-
deavOred to make perfect.
The museum began it's explorations
in 1901 under the direction of Prof.
Henry F. Osborn, cruator of the de-
partment of vertebrate paleontology,
with trip to Big Horn basin of north
ern Wyoming. The expenses were de-
frayed from fund contributed by the
late William c. Whitney. At his
death these special explorations had
to cease, but the hunt for fossil horses
Is now carried on in conjunction with
that for other fossil animals, until
some equally public spirited horse
lover comes forward to continue it dis
tinctively.
The locality around Fort Bridger,
Wyo., was carefully searched for fos-
sils, but particularly for the noun
tain horse" fragments of which had
been found and named by Professor
Marsh in 1872. Parties sent out by
the American museum visited this re-
gion In 1898 and 1895, and from 1903
to 1905, but in spite of the most in
defatigable efforts the orohippus elud-
ed the searchers. 1t had begun to look
as though the attempt to locate his
skeleton would have to be given up as
hopeless, when on the very last day of
the final expedition of 1905, Just when
the party was about to return, the long
looked for remains were unearthed.
These consisted of the skull, backbone,
limbs and other parts of the skeleton
of the very stage wanted.
The find has not been publicly an
nounced heretofore, and it will be
some time before the museum has
ready Its exhibit, showing every stage
of horse evolution, beginning when
the ancestors of the horse of today
was about the size of an Irish TERROR.
The museum has already classified the
fossils of the horse previously found
in various localities in the western
part of the United tSates, and will
thus be able now to place before the
public complete ocular record of
equine evolution from the early DAYS
Of the Eocene period, estimated at
100000 years ago, down to the pres
ent time.
The museums latest discovery is of
the greatest Importance, not only be-
cause it will make these records more
complete, but also because it may lead
to the verification of the theory that
the horse originated in this country.
Professor Osborn will make.a thor
ough examination of these remains
and his conclusions are awaited with
a great deal of interest.

RUGBY PRESSED STONE.
Company Formed Which Is Doing
Good Business.

An industry which should prove, in
time-and very short time at that
to be very paying one for the pro-
moters and most beneficial to the en-
tire community, is that established by
the Messrs Fred Raas and w. j. An
derson, of Rugby, who have formed
partnership and organized company
for the purpose of manufacturing the
celebrated Miracle pressed stone.
This article has sprung into great
prominence within the past few years,
drought the northwest, and is being
used very extensively in the construc-
ton of many large and costly build
ings. 1t is fast taking the place of
brick, as it is believed to be more DUR
able, more economical and last, but
not least important, more ornamental
One feature which should commend
it to all prospective builders, is, that
in addition to thef superior qualities
which it possesses over other build
ing materials, is that it can be manu-
featured right here at home, mostly
from our local resources, which is one
great reason why 1t should find great
favor in the eye of the building pub

Europe Must Have Meat.

Consul Winter Of Annaberg, report
ing on the need of meat In European
markets, furnishes some interesting
figures about the number of cattle,
sheep and hogs in some of the worlds
best stocked countries He says:
The United States, Argentina, Aus
tralia and Canada practically furnish
the surplus meats for export. Dis
lance and the available amount Of
livestock form the factors In this ex-
port trade. The relatively greater
proportions of livestock to population
are found in the countries which are
y farthest from the big markets. The
United States Is nearest to Europe.
This country has 81, 1000, 900 head Of
cattle. 81. 600. 900 hogs, and as many
sheep to. approximately, So. 0O0, 900 ,peo-
4 pie. Australia and New Zealand are
/ the farthest from Europe and have H.
000. 900 head Of cattle. . few hogs and
12.000. 900 sheep to less than 4, 500 900
population. Argentina has 81. 900 900
cattle. and about IN. 000. 900 sheep to q

population Of about $500 900 neon,e

population Of about $500, 900 people.
The fact that the overcrowded ma
tions Of Europe must import foreign
flesh foods is based upon the scarcity
OF their home supply, Russia in Eu-
rope, for instance, has only $4,000 900
head Of cattle and 5000 900 sheep for
population of over 10000, 900, and no
other nation on the continent has as
large supply Of livestock as Russia,
though Germany and France have as
many, II not more, per head OF popula-
ton. Great Britain and ireland have
only about 100000 head of cattle,
100000 hogs, and 34,0O0,O00 sheep for
a population of nearly 100000.
1T is evident that Great Britain.
more than any other European, nation,
must look elsewhere for her meat sup
ply. Importation of meats is a neces-
sity, not only for Great Britain, but
also for all Europe, which will always
need meat 1t behooves American
meat producers to lose no opportunity
to promote their interests in these for
eign markets"

sHRNERs AT FARGO.
Visitors Enjoyed Banquet and Social
Session Monday.

Fargo was the mecca for Mobiles Of
the Shrine from all parts of this state
Monday evening and the visitors from
temples of sisters states, and Khartum
temple, Winnipeg. The number of out
side visitors was very large.
The occasion was the usual winter
ceremonial session of Ell Zagal temple
of Fargo. The class of novices pre-
sented for initiation numbered forty
three and the journey of the latter
over the burning sands Of the desert
was made amid scenes of perfect
grandeur. The ceremonies, in full,
were carried out in the large audi
forum, the decorations of which were
beautiful and novel and there was
liberal use of varied colored electric
lights. The several einblerns of the
order of the Shrine were grand!y
shown in illumination and there were
displays of the national colors, and
also those of Canada in honor of the
visitors from Winnipeg. The profuse
decorations and their very harmonious
blending formed the subject of much
compliment.
After the formal ceremonies the No
bles and army of visitors were gem
erOusly entertained in the great ban
quoting hall. and later there WIS an
entertainment on the stage of the au-
ditorium. The participants in this was
the recently organized temple chorus.
composed exclusively of male singers
and they contributed two numbers
very acceptably. Rupert's full orches-
ira also contributed to the program.
The premier part of the entertain
mont was the performance b ythe Bus.
ter Brown company and this latter
feature was greatly Appreciated by the
Mobiles especially Buster and his dog
were a unit in declaring the ceremon-
ial to have been one of the very best
ever presented of Illustrious Poten-
tate Treat and officers of Ell zagal
temple.

was fed from various springs lying
at greater or less distances from the

At first the project seemed doomed
to failure. as there existed between
Jerusalem and the springs from which
the water was to be derived high
chain Of hills, over which 1t would, be
impossible to convey the water. 1t
was therefore determined to open
passage for the water through the
solid rock. One Of the Sirach INNS.
dating from this period states in this
connection: Heze-Kiah fortified his
city by bringing water thereto, and he
bored through the solid rock by means
$Of bronze, and he collected the water
In reservoir"
Recent explorations have enabled
this predecessor Of the Simplon to be
thoroughly identified. It is said to be
the Shiloah tunnel by means of which
water was brought down from a source
to the east of Jerusalem and poured
into the Pool of Sloan, mentioned in
the Bible. This conduit is $50 yards
long. The distance us the bird flies,
between the two mouths of the tunnel
Is also only $50 yards, which proves
that the work was NOT executed in a
perfectly straight line-due doubtless
to the difficulties which the engineers
encountered in their task, which for
the period was of really marvellous
nature.
That the work was commenced from
both ends Of the tunnel Is not only
proved by the inscription, but also by
the fact that the marks of the boring
tools, picks, ETC., may still be seen, all
bearing in opposite directions. The
direction of the tunnel was altered
several times during the construction
thereof. as there are several short gal
leries, which were evidently abandon
ed as soon as 1t was noted that work
ing was being done out of line. The
floor of the tunnel is finished with the
greatest care, and the workings vary
from five-eighths of a yard on one
yord in width by from three feet to
nine feet in height, more or less, ac-
cording to the hardness OF the rock.
In the light of modern engineering
science. the following questions sug.
gest themselves: How did these old
time engineers gauge their direction,
recognize and remedy their errors in
alignment? What tolls did they use to
execute a piece of work which has
remained without equal or rival for
$500 years?.
