LA TOILETTE BILL.

By vote of 20 to 1 the La Toilette
bill was passed by the senate provid-
ing that railroad employees engaged in
handling trains shall not work more
than 16 consecutive hours, which
period shall be followed by 10 hours OF
duty. 1t took a whole days discussion
and amendments before the bill was
made acceptable and as passed is as
follows:
THAT it shall be unlawful for any
common carrier by railroad in any ter
ritory of the United States or the Dis
trict Of Columbia, or any Of its Of
ficers or agents, or any common car
rier engaged in interstate or foreign
commerce by railroad or any of its
officers or its agents, to require or

once, and he advised that as first
step each farmer take an inventory OF
his livestock and plan his farm with
the object in view and devoting more
attention to the raising Of cattle, sheep
and hogs in the future. To do this he
must provide good pastures in the
summer and raise larger quantities
of hay. This he said would serve a
double purpose, not only providing
feed for The live stock, but refertili-
zing the soil.
Tue second step was to raise large
quantities Of cultivated crops, such as
corn. rape, sorghum and potatoes. In
order to provide a market for these
crops once they have been produced it
Is necessary for every farmer of North
Dakota to go into the business of rais-
ing livestock
G. E. Showers, stock breeder and
farmer Of Wheatland, was the last
speaker on the programme. In dis
cussing his topic, Sheep and What
They Can Do to Work Out the Problem
on North Dakota Grain Farms, Mr..
Showers pointed out that there is
great economy in raising sheep as
they will consume much about the
farm that world otherwise go to waste
and thus be Transforming It into NUT
ton make it profitable. He spoke
particularly of the wheat screenings
and the weeds which sheep will eat
but which cattle will not touch.
Sheep can also be pastured in the fall
in the grain fields after the grain has
been cut and nothing but the stubble
remains.
Sheep are comparatively inexpen-
sive to house. The principal thing
which they require Is dry and airy
quarters, and for this reason they are
particularly we'll adapted to this cli-
mate and will thrive here. The best
kind to raise in North Dakota are
those with dense wool which will
serve to keep out the wind and dust.

That many serious accidents come
as a result of men being overworked
and so tagged out for want of sleep,
requires no proof Again, men who
are kept on duty too long must resort
to some sort of stimulant to keep up
at all so that this law will be good in
this respect. Men will be able to at
tend to their duties and be in full pos
session of their faculties while so do
ing and many accidents will thus be
avoided. That there is need of some
strong legislation to prevent accidents
and the loss of life the last years list
of causalties conclusively proves.

'ver. 70 good advantage before seed

ever. to good advantage before seed
ing.
The farmer who seeds onto the plow-
ing without first-pulverizing the soil
makes q serious blunder for some of
the seed will be covered too deep while
some will not be covered deep enough.
The seeding will be SO uneven that 1t
will show all through the growing
period. The soil should be thorough
ly prepared before seeding to pro-
duce best results. The plan Of har-
rowing after the grain Is sprouted
aids the growth, destroys weeds and
pulveriszes the surface soil so that
moisture is retained much better,
What North Dakota farmers must do
is to farm more intensity than extern
sively which has been the rule here
tofore. It Is better to farm 100 acres
we'll than to farm 800 acres shabbily.
1t takes less labor and the results are
greater.
Our editor of the Farm Department
had considerable experience in pro-
fitable farming when a boy and in
vites the readers of the Evening Times,
who are interested in farming, to ask
questions or to discuss any topic Of
general interest to the North Dakota
farmer. This is the time of year when
farmers have time to read and re.
fleet and to give others their exper-
fences through the columns Of our
paper. Don't hide your light under
the tushel."

An eastern editor of considerable
prominence attempts to pour oil on
troubled waters down in New York
City where the Jews protest against
the custom Of having Christmas tree
in the public schools. He says: 1.-THE
Christmas tree does not teach any re-
ligious tenet. The child's mind is
engrossed with the spirit of giving
and receiving, of love and charity"
If these are the objects of the Christ
mas tree and school exercises connect
ed herewith then no parent should
find fault be he Pagan or Jew; but If
our teachers use the Christmas tree
to create spirit of love and charity
only are they not misleading the
children as to the real purpose Of the
tree? A Christmas tree by any other
name and at any other time of year
would be- as useful to cultivate love
and charity.
That chilren should be encouraged
in the spirit of giving-not with the
hope of receiving some tangible re-
ward in return-is highly commend
able, in whatever form it may be best
promulgated, for there is too much
selfishness in the human heart. To
expel selnshness from the child's
heart we hold to be the highest duty
of parent and teacher.

Much interest have been taken in
Colorado in what is known as the
Campbell system of dry-land farming.
1t is not substitute for irrigation as
it many be used to good advantage
where irrigation cannot be used.
While it is known as the Campbell
system it had been used before Mr.
Campbell's time but to Mr.. Campbell
credit is due for not hiding his light
under the bushel." The idea is to
hold moisture in the soil by sur
face cultivation, purlverizing the sur
face soil so fine that 1t prevents the
escape of moisture from the lower
strata. The soil, however, must at
some time during the year have been
pretty we'll saturated so that vegeta-
ton will take good hold before the
dry period comes on. Farmers have,
for many years, in older states, used
the roller on fields sowed to small
grains. They were not fully aware Of
the real benefit to the crop in the re-
tanning of moisture for it seemed to
have been an opinion that the benefit
derived from using the roller was to
pack the top soil so as to prevent
winds from blowing the soil off the
seed and to aid the seed in getting
firm root; that the continuous plow-
ing so loosened the soil as to make
it poor seed-bed. Some believed best
results were obtained by rolling the
ground after the grain was we'll up
while other contended that the rolling
should be done as soon as the seed
was planted. A few went so far as
to use the roller on the plowed ground
before seeding or even before har-
rowing, holding that the object of
rolling was to crush the Jumps and
pulverize the soil to make good seed
bed. The roller in whatever way used
seemed to be followed by better results
than when not used and, to our men,
DRY, was used forty years ago quite
extensively.
Farmers in North Dakota who have
not pulverized the top soil by corn
cultivation have more need to use the
roller scheme Of pulverizing than those
who do alternate wheat and corn
crops. There is time when the roll
Ter can be used much more effectively
than at other times. There should
be sufficient moisture in the top soil
so that the Jumps of soil will crumb!e,
otherwise they will be pushed into the
surface, uncrushed, and the good ef-
feet destroyed. The plan of rolling
Immediately after blowing is usually
effective in this respect as the soil is
moist enough to pulverize we'll, how
ever, this puts the ground in bad shape
it hold the winter SHOWS which are
needed to furnish moisture so that
fall blowing should not be rolled.
Spring blowing may be rolled, how

 CHINESE REBELS
LEADERS OF WHITE FANS" AR RESTED-ESCAPE AND KILL OF FIcIALs-3o,ooo THREATEN THE : TOWN-ANTIDYN

Annoy, China, June 1.-The center of the uprising is at Juan, fifty miles southwest of Annoy The police there arrested the leaders of an organization known as the White Fans,' charging them false ly with being pirates. The prisoners es- capped, collected their followers. killed the prefect and other officials and held the local magistrates as a hostage
 Emboldened by this success, 30,OO0 rebels gathered and threatened Choa Chow Flu. Troops were hurried from Canton and Fuchow, and engaged the rebels yester- day between Swatow and Annoy, with the result that 600 of the latter were killed. The government loss is not known. The rebels withdrew but were not dispersed.
 The correspondent here of the Asso- ciated Press is in a position to confirm the statement that the outbreak is not anti-foreign but anti-dynastic. The white fans are a revolutionary origination and very strong in Southern Follien. The movement has been growing steadily for the past eighteen months.
 The United States gunboat Helena is here.
 The outcome is uncertain but Annoy is in no danger.
