Director of the Experiment Sta

Gently resigned his position and
whose resignation is now be-

Professor Soule a few days

many who believe that he will

The truth is that Pro. SOule

LEGAL INFORMATION.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Where A holds a mortgage on farm and assigns the same to B, and B as- signs the same to c, only c need to give a satisfaction of the mortgage when the same Is paid. By recording the assignments of mortgage, the records show that c Is the owner there of, and that he Is the proper party to satisfy the mortgage.
 One has no right to shoot strange dog, that simply happens about his premises, and Is liable to the owner in any damages for 80 doing. One, however, has the right to shoot a dog that Is a nuisance because of his kill ing sheep or other animals, or because of the likelihood that he will otherwise do injury to party either in person or property.
 The railway company Is not liable for killing a calf upon public cross ing, unless 1t could have avoided the killing by due diligence. The railway company is bound to fence Its track and Is liable for damages done to all stock straying upon the tracks because of failure to build such fence, upon the theory that such killing Is through the negligence of the railway. But 1t Is not bound to look out for stock upon crossings.
 "When a teacher in a public school of a common school district In Mlnne- sota refuses to pay his board bill, can the wages of such teacher be gar nisheed In order to recover payment of such bill?" Ans-Yes. Counties, towns, cities, villages and school dis tricts are liable to garnishment In Min nesota, the same as Is an individual, since 1901. As general rule public corporations are not garnishable, upon the grounds that 1t Is against public policy, but the statutes In many States have changed the rule, as 1t should be- There is DO more reason why a mu- nicipality should not be garnishable than . railway company, corporation, or any individual.
 "Does railroad company have to construct crossings for farms" Ans Any railroad company constructing q railroad so as to leave a part of . farm on either side of the railway, shall construct proper farm crossing convenient for such farm" This pro- vision seems to apply to the road when 1t Is first put through. Another pro- vision of the statute provides that persons owning land abutting upon a railroad may construct at their own expense, crossings and drains In such place and In such manner as not to impair the use of such railroad, which crossings and drains shall be main- tained and kept in repair by the com pany." From this it would seem to follow that the railroad companies are not obliged to put In crossings for farms that have been cut up after the railroad was put through.

Always DodgfnG Death and Have .
 Severe Struggle for . Living.
 T was sitting at my window the other day." said Colonel Louis E. Pitts of Missouri, while half a dozen spar rows were picking furiously and say agely crowding one another round a bit of bread about the size of a boys marble. They were hungry. l know that by the way they pushed and showed and elbowed one another around the bread and by the disputes and side fights that were constantly taking place.
 "A carriage rolled by in the street In an instant every bird took wing and flew up to the branches of tree overhead. After the carriage had gone they came back, but hardly got bit apiece when a boy appeared, and away they all flew. Then a man. next a woman, after her dog, and after the dog 6 delivery wagon scared them off, so that ere the crumb disappeared the birds at least a dozen times were frightened up into the tree. to come back and be scared of again.
 'The Incident set me to musing over the vicissitudes of natures life and the comforts men enjoy but do not ap- preciate. Suppose that all the board. CTS of a first-class house had to run away from the table and run Into the third story half a dozen times during their dinner, to keep from being killed, do you think they would have much appetitef Suppose you had to bolt out of your room Into the street a hundred times a day to save your life, wouldn't living become burdenf Yet the birds are bolting all day long, every day in the year. and all their lives, from real or imaginary danger, for the one is al bad as the other.
 Suppose when we got up in the morning In a room without a fire we had to go out and work for our break fast before we got any, then find an- other job to pay for dinner and the third before we could eat supper sup pose that all our victuals were cold, that after hustllng all day and not get. ting enough to eat we had to roost under the caves of a house or under somebody's porch and watch for cats all night long-wouldn't men go and jump in the river rather than worry with such a life7 Yet that Is the birds life in winter.
 Tn summer food Is abundant, the temperature Is pleasant and the birds seem happy in spite of their constant danger from boys and stones and guns by day and from cats and owls at night. Maybe birds have no memory for dangers past. If man runs the risk of being killed by falling of . street car all his acQuaintances have to listen to the story at intervals for weeks, but bird lodges death every ten minutes through the day, then mounts a twig and sings as cheerily as though there were not a stone nor a gun In the world. No regret for the past, no foreboding for the future, no worry about rent or taxes or coal bills i; no pantry and no fear that anything will spoil Dl keeping-who wouldn't like to be a birdr'-st.

Simple Device in Use for Keeping
 Highways Passable All Winter.
 Snow rollers are used extensively h Vermont and other States of the north ern border, says the Springfield Repub- lican. The snow roller Is no new con- trivance, but has been In use In Yer mont for many years. Nearly all of the Vermont townships own several. It has never been displaced by more modern device for opening the winter roads, and has proved to be not only the easiest and cheapest means of over coming drifts, but also Is a producer of better winter roads.
 One used in the town of East Hard wick has been In service for twenty years. It has rollers, both of which are six feet In diameter, each nine feet wide with a space of about nine inches between. Thus It will be seen that the whole roller presents total width to the roadway of nearly twenty feet, enough to make ample room for traffic by going over roadway once. The rollers are usually drawn by four heavy horses and are taken on circuits that vary from six to nine miles In length. Of course the rollers cannot sur mount all drifts, and the men who ac- company them are often obliged to get down and shovel. But even then the final results are way and beyond those obtained by the blow method. The rollers, heavy in themselves, are often ballasted, and they pack the snow down into an even roadway that Is without ruts and Is not cut up easily. As the winter progresses, with alternate thaws and storms, and each succeeding snow- fall Is packed down by the rollers, road of remarkable durability results These hard, frozen roadways resist the coming of spring for a long time, pro longing the "sledding" through the su- gar season, and obyiating to a large degree the usual bad going of spring. The roads last so long that when they finally do succumb It Is rapidly, owing to the advanced sun, and the mud and slush Is soon gone.

LaIande and Neptune.

The astronomer Lalande narrowly escaped being made famous by a dis covery. He accidentally struck Nep- tune with his glass on May 8, 17S5, but supposed It was a star. He put it down In his notebook as a star and re- corded its exact situation. Two days later he struck 1t once more and made a record of it. But when he looked over his notes be found he had It down as being in two different places, and as a star cannot move in forty-eight hours he supposed he had made a mistake in one of his notes. If he had used his mind little less mechanically he easily might have been a Columbus.
