 being an actuality as it is; for we were sticklers for what we were pleased to call liberty, us westerners of the United States, and liberty will be a meaning less word under perfected socialism.
 Nevertheless, the logic of events seems to point to socialism in state of more or less ideality It is the privilege of individuals to speculate on the time of it's arrival, the nicer details of it's per- fected parts, how long it will remain, ing present or to come that may endure alway). A friend once gave the writer an object lesson in socialism, however, which it is hoped will be as instructive to any chance reader as it was to the pupil of several years ago. Here is a recital of the lesson:
 The friend was an enthusiastic natu- ralist as well as socialist I will not pretend to judge the depth of his knowl edge on either subject. Anyway, he led me to tepid, shallow pool, which we cautiously approached, and swimming therein was a small, wire like object, perhaps P inches long, tapering to a needle-point tail at one end and hay ing snakey head and eyes at the other It moved rapidly about and coiled itself around boulder in an endeavor at con cealment.
 ''What is it?' 1 asked
 'That is a horse-hair snake" said he ''Learned fools have told me it is impOs- sible; but have plucked hair from a horses tail and placed it in this pool ; and from day to day I have watched it develop into the active and intelligent body you see. Now look"
 He placed light board in the water and the wonderful snake hid beneath it. The board foated away and lodged at tHc Ddih anu tlit sldhc TeiildiIleu un- der 1t,
 As we walked short distance away and seated ourselves in the shade my friend told me the snakes history. In a few days after the hair was placed in the water slight swelling was noticed in the end that had been plucked from the horses tail One more day and the shape of head was discernible, with little knots where the eyes were to be, and the body had grown larger for a length of 10 inches. Another day aud there was a symmetrical body, with a head to direct, eyes to see danger and intelligence to shun it; in fact, a living Thing capable of performing all the functions necessary to its existence
 'Wonderful." I said
 "Wonderful indeed" he answered. "And 1 have learned how nature has done this marvellous work. It is all very simple when once understood. The water was full of living organisms so small that millions of them might swim side by side in space the size of the eye oi a cambric needle, every one an independ- ent being-an individual. The hair fur nished food and means of keeping from being swallowed by drinking beasts. The soft, spongey end was avail .ll. .,,I i

PASSING OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

To person who has for long time lived in the western states and territo- ries and become imbued with the spirit of individuality of character that has distinguished the western people, the signs of the times present some inter- esting problems. Indeed, to great extent collectivism has already displaced individualism it is no longer consid- cred strange or foolish thing to say there are no such conditions as the nat ural rights of men, but that every hu- man being is on earth only to serve the purposes of every other human being; that the mass must decide the status of the unit in the one great plan, and that howsoever the individual is commanded so shall he do This is to end poverty, vice, force, resistance, war.
 It is the idealist's Socialism. Anarchy is at the other pole of the philosophical sphere: it would resist all organized in- reference with the individuals s will, un- til each ones inclination may follow its own bent, unopposed and consequently unopposing.
 Notwithstanding the frequent acts of assassination which we denominate an- archist outrages, Anarchy has not q sufficient footing in the world to make it either cause of terror or of hope according to which way it is viewed as world movement. On the other hand, Socialism grows. Its ideas find lodg ment not only in bright minds, but in shallower heads of aristocratic society everywhere who know at least that they and their kind have long received from the world a large measure of unearned blessings Even the powerful capital istic class, who think they have most to fear from it, are doing mighty work for socialism by making the individuals s existence impossible without 1t.
 Men are becoming more and more de- pendent upon organized society, which seems almost ready to say to each one, Take your place in line and keep step, or disappear from the face of the earth. :" of course that time k not yet; but the condition has been approached nearer than a good many oi Us had expected ever to see it.

year to keep up the size, and breeding

second or third year.-Exchange
Wasting Feed.

A large proportion of the hay and
fodder produced on farms is stacked,
but hay stored in the barn will keep
in much better condition than when
stored in stacks. It is almost impos-
s1ble to escape loss when it is exposed
in stacks. Damaged hay will be vast
ed by the animals, and there is an ad-
d1tlonal loss in quantity by exposure
that may not occur in the NOW. 1t is
better to sell the hay that cannot be
stored in the NOW than to accept risk
of the weather
Fodder can be as truly wasted when
put In the stomach as when trodden
under foot. Unhoused cattle have a
continuous battle for comfort, and all
consumption Of food shows no result
for the reason that it is used wholly
in keeping life. Moreover, they are
stuunted by their stay at this I'M
thrifty stage, and will never show as
good results afterward.

White AYloShurY DuckS.

The soft wnite plumage is one Of the
chief attractions of the Aylesbury
breed, and like most white plumage
has a tendency to assume yellow hue
If exposed to the sun. The beak will
| also lose its delicate pink hue and be-
come yellow if exposed to too much
sunlight in summer. The bill of the
Pekin should be yellow, but the bill Of
the Aylesbury should be a delicate
pink Or fesh-color, and birds intended
for exhibition must possess this quail
ity or they will suffer at the hands Of
the judge. Birds raised for exhibition
purposes must be guarded against too
much exposure to the sunlight in the
summer. OF course, these delicate
points are of no consequence to the
market poulterer other than to show
the true type of the breed.
For farm purposes the Aylesbury Is
to be recommended, second only to the
Pekin; 1t possesses the many good
qualities Of the Pekin, and can be bred
with almost the same success. The adj
vantages claimed for Aylesbury are the
ease with which 1t is acclimated, thirty
| ing in every country and climate; its
early maturity; it's great hardness; its
large size; it's great prolificacy, and
| the real beauty which it possesses.
Raisers recommend for raising exhibit
ton birds one drake to two ducks, or
| two brakes to five ducks, all being al
lowed to run together. Duck raisers
| who raise large numbers for market
breed them rs they do Pekins, using
from four to eight females to one
| male, according to the season of the
year. Fresh blood is introduced every

NOVELIST'S WIFE ROBBED
Lady Parker Lost $4,000 in Jewelry in
London Hotel-Thief Traced
to New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Lady Parker,
wife of Sir Gilbert Parker, the Cana
dian novelist and member of the British
House of Commons, was robbed of $75,-
600 in jewels several weeks ago in the
Carlton hotel, London, but the fact was
kept secret from the public and was only
revealed in this city since the departure
of a representative of Scotland yard for
Palm Beach, Fla. For more than a week
the London detective has worked in this
city, independently of the central office,
visiting pawnshops and following other
trails.
Lady Parker was Miss A e. Van
Tine of this city, daughter of the late
A. A. Van Tine, and wealthy in her
own right. Her jewels are we'll known
and she had in a casket in her room part
of her collection.
There came a knock at her door one
morning and a we'll dressed man was dis
covered At sight of Lady Parker he
apologized profusely, saying he had made
a mistake, having been called to the
room of a friend.
Little was thought of the incident and
Lady Parker went to make some calls.
When she returned she discovered that
the case and its contents had been taken

WISCONSIN BANKS
SUFFER IN CRASH !?
MCReynolds Failure at Chicago Said to
Show Growing Liabilities and
Shrinkage in Assets.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. OFT was al
legged by attorneys for the firm of Nc
Reynolds & Co., bankrupt grain mer-
chants, that the liabilities of the firm
were mounting at an alarming rate, with
q corresponding shrinkage in the assets.
Attorneys for the creditors are also in
veStigating allegations that 100000 at
least of warehouse certificates have been
issued upon less than 100000 worth of
grain and that these spurious warehouse
receipts have been used as securities in
small country banks.
Besides the Chicago banks and the
Park National of New York twenty
three small institutions mostly located
in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, were
creditors of the bankrupt brokers. The
names of these institutions are with
held until the time for filing the claims.
CLEt ELAND, o., Jan. 22.-Receiver
L. IL. Bushnell has gone to New York
to take personal charge of the work of
protecting the interests of the creditors
OF the defunct firm of DenisOn, Prior &

incubation Improves Hay.

The Michigan Experiment Station
has been Investigating the inoculated
nodule method in regard to it's effect
upon the composition Of the crop. Many
farmers have reported that the pres
ence Of the nodules has not increased
the bulk Of the crop, but the station
reports, after analysis, that the noduIes
increase the amount Of protein present.
Two areas Of soy beans f1ourished
side by side, one with nodules and the
other without; no difference in color,
height or earliness was noted, nor
greater weight Of hay.
When analysis was made Of the hay
it was found the hay from the nodule-
bearing plants contained 1852 per cent
Of protein, while the hay from nom
inoculated plants contained but $50
per cent. With cowpeas the experience
was similar.

DEPEW VERY SICK MAN.
Afflicted Admiral Sampson, Say
His Friends

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 90
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew's friends
have been informed, it is reported here.
that the disease from which the senator
is suffering is asphasia, combined with
melancholia or morbid fear that every
body has turned against him.
The attack of asphasia, which is the
impairment or abolition of the faculty of
understanding or expressing spoken or
written language, Independently of any
failure or paralysis of the faculties, was
first noticed about Christmas time. The
senator, it is reported here, was sudden
ly seized while at dinner one night The
first attack was but of short duration.
1t was followed by other attacks that
have lasted longer.
A friend of the senator went to see
him a day or two ago. He is a man
who has had intimate personal relations
with the senator. The senator did not
know him at first. Then. after a short
time, he recognized the visitor and chat
ted animatedly with him for half an
hour and displayed all of his old-time
ability as a converse tionalist.

Lawyer Hughes of New York Makes Plea
for Clean Athletics to Brown
University Alumni.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O-Charles E.
Hughes, who was counsel for the Arm
strong insurance investigating commit
tee, was one of the principal speakers at
the dinner of the Brown university alum
nj at the University club here last night.
He was wildly welcomed when he start
ed to speak. He said:
What are we doing to keep alive the
traditions of our colleges? Are we going
into the world clean hearted and clean
handed with the right ideas of success
Doesn't it seem impossible that man
should come from the environment and
inspiration of his college and become the
lickspittle of a boss? And yet you will
find among grafters-insurance and other
kinds-many college men. Clean sports
tend to develop a sense of honor among
college men. Sports will do much to
breed that sense of honor which is badly
needed among the American people,
