: The Estraytaw.

| The majority of people do not appear
to be aware, says the Mandan Pioneer,
that the last legislature passed very
stringent estray law ald fixed penalty
for non-complia,eethat'cwith The law
requires each person TAX ing up an ami
NAL to give notice within TEN DAYS
thereafter, IN A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,
which shall contain a absorption of such
estray. He shall also file with the
county auditor within ten days after he
takes up the estray a. description of the
animal and mention the marks and
brands found on the same. But the
notice business does not end here.
Sucl, person shall, within ten days from
the time of taking up such estray, mail
to the commissioner Of agriculture and
labor at his Office in Bismarck, by reg
istered mail, true copy of the notice
hereinbefore required to be given to the
auditor Of the respective counties. The
receipt of the registered letter ard
proof of publication Of the notice pro-
vided must be filed with the county au-
ditor OF, the county where such estray
was taken up, before said stray can be
appraised or before appraisers can
be appointed. Failure to comply with
these conditions makes the person tax
ing up suc', animal liable to the owner
for all damages caused by neglecting to
comply with these provisions. Many
persons taking up estrays do not care
fully follow these requirements and
there is probably trouble ahead for
them. This law. is the subject Of al
most daily inquiry from parties taking
up estrays, and to such The Tribune
would suggest that they cut out this ar
ticle' and lay it away for future refer
ence. "

THE FIELD
The Cultivation of Mushrooms.

B. M. Duggar, author of a recent
government bulletin, advocates the
tissue method of spawn culture which
is described essentially as follows:
Test tubes or large mouth bottles are
filled with fresh stable manure or with
a compost and then sterilized. This
material is then inoculated by select
ing from a bed of vigorous growing
mushrooms a variety which proved I'M
usually prolific. With a sterilized
scalpel and forceps, the stem is brok-
en- off and the outer skin peeled off.
Small bits of the tissue of the mush-
room are then taken and used to in
oculate the manure in the sterilized
bottles.
1t has been found that within the
course of a week, or sometimes within
two days, these bits of tissue will
send out small growth of mycelium
which spreads to all parts of the tube
or bottle within three or four weeks.
This material can then be used as pure
culture virgin spawn for inoculating
bricks. This method of producing
spawn has been found to be CONNER
cially practicable, and three varieties
of mushrooms named, respectively,
Alaska Ca white sort), Bohemia Ga
brown sort), and Columbia Gan inter
mediate or cream-gray sort), have been
developed which can be produced true
to type.
Prof G.. L. Newman of the Arkansas
Experiment Station, in Bulletin No.
II, says: every cultivator of the soil
should have for his chief aim it's per-
manent improvement. 1t costs no
more to grow a crop of wheat, corn,
or cotton on rich soil than on poor.
The increased yield above the cost of
production is profit. If one acre will
produce II bushels, there remains a
profit of six bushels per acre. If an
other acre produces "a bushels at the
same cost, there is profit of Is bush
els, an increased profit of 800 per cent
from doubling the yield. There is no
one thing that the farmer should keep

What He Most Wished For.

John Fiske, the American historian,
was an ardent lover of music and him
self no mean musician. Furthermore.
he was extremely corpulent and felt
the hot weather painfully. He was
once delivering a course of lectures at
a summer school in a small city of the
middle west. The heat was terrific
and adjoining the house where the
lecturer stayed was a church where
an Unmatched but Jealous quartet"
practiced and performed during all
hours of the torrid afternoons and
evenings. One evening, seeing the IA
nous man sit for a time unoccupied
and apparently oppressed by this COM
bined affiiction, the young daughter OF

Keen Competition Among Colorado
Smeiters

Colorado is in position to have the
ores from her mines treated in smelt
ers that are under variety of differ
ent managements. There are eight
smelters. all told, in operation in the
state. and three of these are independ
ent Of all the others, and five are un
der the management OF the American
Smelling and Refining Company
There Is an independent smelter at Sa
Ida, one in Denver, and one in Silver
ton. all running in good shape, which
permits the miner TO sell his ore wher.
ever he wishes.
A great deal of harm has been done
in the East by the statement that peo-
pie investing in mines in Colorado
were under the restraint of being com.
PEELED to have their ores treated in
smelters that were all under one man
agement. AS a matter of fact, there is
plenty OF competition and that keeps
down the cost of smelling, and gives
the man with money invested in mines
every opportunity to thrive.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company has twenty-five plants
scattered about in the United States
and Old Mexico, but claims it is
not making any great profits off of Its
Colorado Investments. because the
competition here with the independent
plants is SO brisk, besides the ores
Of Colorado are proyerbially low grade
and the working charge at the smelt-
ers is necessarily made on a minimum
basis.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company. which is in part CON
trolled by the Guggenheims, is about
to spend a million dollars In the state
to put In a new system of mechanical
roasters. and has ample confidence in
the future of Colorado. The company
has idle plants in Denver. Pueblo and
Leadvllle, which were constructed at
large expense. and which VIII be
called into requisition as the mining
interests in the state grow and metals
advance. Just now they are a tre-
mendous charge upon the companies
that built them. and the fact that they
are kept ready to operate on short no
tics shows how fully their builders
are confident in the future of this great
mining state.

Anyway, II was blowing some, and
the seas did come aboard. There was
one particularly tall, gray-headed fell
low that got over the side and kicked
up old Nick This sea hit the box of
one of the pythons, and the box turned
over. The weight of the python did
the rest and before any one knew just
what had happened there was some 20
feet of snake at liberty.
Now, the python didn't seem to
know just what to do under the cir
cumstances. There were other waves
coming along. and, while perhaps he
did not have hydrophobia, he was
averse to a wetting. The nearest place
of safety seemed to be the tigers
cage, and the python made for that.

aboard mountain high.
But the royal Bengal didn't like the
interloper, and as the python's head
came through the bars he swatted it.
The python came to in minute or
SO. and started for the tiger. The
tiger kept his port and starboard for
ward paws as busy as Joe Cans. and
it wasn't long before the python was
out. Then the tiger pulled him into
the cage and made his dinner on
about six and a half feet of the snake.
