Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 29.-Report of
the railroad commissioners sent to
the senate today In response to. the
Macarthur resolution, says the COM
mission has not been idle. The report
states the congestion is partly due to
unprecedented business development
of the country, the responsibility for
the fuel shortage is said to be partly
that of the dealers, who hoped to Sc
cure lower rates and delayed ordering.
The employees of railroads are criticis-
ed for indifference to urgent condi--
tions in some instance, in moving
cars.
This condition had been vigorously
handled by the commission with the
railroad management. The commits

The Farm Needs Sheep.

Sheep are ofttimes spoken of as nui-
sance by some people, but wise land
owners give them credit as being great
renovators of rundown or worn-out
farms, and even call them fertility con-
servers.
They are the latter and more, too.
The life and habits of sheep make
them not only conservers of fertility, but
distributors of it where needed, If given
an opportunity. Though sheep are ad-
verse to water and always seek an eleva-
ton for their resting place, they do not
like the succulent growth, even though
it be weeds, found in the lowland OF a
field or pasture which has been enriched
by the washings from the higher sur
rounding land.
These two peculiarities of sheep once
came under my particular observation
l turned some sheep into clover held
they at once sought out the spots where
the clover did not catch and eagerly de-
voured any weeds or pigeon grass that
had taken possession of the spaces
They then sought the weeds and succu-
lent grass in the low places and run in
the fields, leaving the clover on the high
land where most needed to enrich the
soil, untouched, only touching this grass
when practically everything else had
been eaten.
More than this, when night came the
sheep sought the higher portion Of the
field for their resting places, and their
droppings there deposited the fertility
gathered during the day from the lower
lands, thus conveying through the
process of nature and cultivation. A
farm upon which sheep are kept ought
TO be not only fertile, but also evenly
fertile, which is much desired con.
ditiou.
Farms are very few which cannot
with profit keep sheep.-Gilbert Allen
in Agricultural Epitomist.

Pretty Close.

A certain elderly lady was in fairly
good position and lived In one Of tho
suburbs Of large town. One morn
ing she went to her butcher with q
basket filed with wooden skewers. She
told him she had saved them-that they
had been weighed to her as meat and
thay she had brought them to receive
their weight back again in meat! Is
there man bold enough TO carry econ
omy so far?
Perhaps tie meannesses Of mean
people are more oiIcn actuated by
feelings OF avar,ce than by those OF
economy. II would be difficult, for in-
stance to fiud q wor5e ease than the
following: An old nan once wrote q
letter to a friend, and, wishing TO save
his stamp. he ordered his servant to
take II TO It's address. 1t was raining,
and the girl wore new Dress That she
was afraid Of spelling. Size looked into
the street, saw boy she knew, and.
calling out to him. she said. "Deiivc.

Care of Calves After WEAVING.

Subsequent to the weaving period,
calves are frequently allowed to lose in
flesh, thus in a measure losing the bene
fit that would otherwise result from
careful feeding during the milk period.
The food and care are not exactly the
same with calves weaned in autumn as
with those weaned in the spring.
Calves weaned in spring usually go on
grass pasture as soon as it is ready.
Such food is very suitable for them, and
when it is abundant, no other food may
be necessary. Usually, however, 1t is
advantageous to keep up the supple
ment of grain, though it may be in less
ened quantity.
The same is true of calves that are to
be finished quite young, as when grown
for baby beef calves of the beef types or
classes intended for breeding should be
given a less amount, and those intend
ed for milk production may fare well
enough without any. No kind OF meal
supplement, probably, is superior to the
following for summer feeding: Ground
corn three parts, ground oats three, and
wheat bran one. If only one grain is
fed, let it be oats.

Wonderful Strenuth.

In the sixteenth century there lived
remarkably strong man, major.
named Barsabas. One day he took up
an anvil weighing 500 pounds and
hid 1t under his coat. He could crush
between his fingers the limbs Of big
animals. One day. seeing a crowd
looking ut an enormous dancing bear,
he offered to wrestle with the animal.
The major threw the bear down sew
eral times and, judging 1t unworthy of
further struggles, slew the animal with
his fist and carried 1t away on his
shoulders amid the cheers OF the
crowd. Another day, seeing several
officers of his regiment surrounded by
an angry crowd, he ran to them, knock
ing people down right and left as a
child does with a pack OF cards. The
crowd, eXasperated, turned round on
him, but seizing two Of his assailants.
one with each hand, he used them as
clubs on the crowd, who, astonished
at his extraordinary display Of strength,
quickly drew back. Once he squeezed
to pulp the hand Of a man who wanted
to fight him. Barsabas' sister was also
remarkable for her strength. Some
burglars entered convent where she
was. She threw one out Of the win
dow and killed two others with a
pillar she tore down and used as a
club.

Before ard After MARRIAGE,

A young man and woman who were
betrothed were making their way up
stairs in an apartment house. On
reaching the first floor the ankle OF
the young lady turned, and she sort OF
stumbled
"Be careful, sweetheart; be careful"
quickly cried her companion apprehen-
sively.
Somehow, after climbing another
flight, the girl once again accidentally
tripped.
You didn't hurt yourself, did you,
dearieT asked her escort, touch Of
nervousness in Ms voice.
Strange as it may seem, on arriving
ut the tloor above the young woman's
ankle again proved treacherous or her
heel must have caught into something
or other. for she again tripped.
my! 90 must look out, darling, or
my little baby girl will hurt herself"
cooed the young fellow lovingly, q
shade Of fear in his kindly warning, as
he quickly slipped his arm protectingly
about his tiancce's waist.
They were married. and some months
afterward rs the young couple were re-
turning hOmeward the ankle of the
bride turned, and she tripped up slight
ly.

Anples and Potatoes Boom.

The utter inability of even the experts
to accurately determine the future con-
dition of the market for the two great
table staples-apples and potatoes-has
been strikingly evident during the past
four weeks, as we'll as the inclination of
the trade produce papers OF the large
cities to uphold the interests OF the deal
ers and exporters. Ever since last har-
vest the trade has been broadcasting the
magnitude of the apple and potato hold
ings until it could no longer be conceal
ed that there was an urgent need for
both these staples in all the trade CEN
ters. Now it appears that every bushel
of well-preserved apples and potatoes Of
good, marketable quality will be needed.
with apples wholesaling at from 81 to 80
per barrel, and old potatoes sought for
at nearly so per cent advance in the
west, there appears to be an excellent
opportunity for a profitable closing out
OF stock for all growers who are so for.
tunate as to have storage that has held
the quality. This springs experience
ought to convince many a Maine apple
grower that adequate storage will fire.
Quently double the returns on the apple
crop.-Maine Farmer.

From somewhere out in the street he
heard a peculiar whistle Of two notes.
1t was the common signal OF the boys
in the neiglbOrhood. and judging from
the direction of the sound 1t was ap-
parently intended to summon him. He
moved Immediately to one Of the win

upon part of the grounds remote
from the stables and cut off from the
veranda by wing. He perceived Will

pushed up the window sash some
inches. He saw the DalZel boy turn
and regard him and then call several
other boys. They stood in group and
gestured. These gestures plainly said:
"COme out. We've got something on
hand" Jimmie sadly shook his head.
But they did not go away. They held
q long consultation. Presently Jimmie
saw the intrepid Dalzel boy climo the
fence and begin to creep among the
shrubbery in elaborate imitation Of an
Indian scout. In time he arrived un-
der Jimmie's window and raised his
face to whisper: Come OH out! We're
going OH bear hunt!'

The boy turned again to his friends.
OF course Jimmie understood. He
had been mad to warn his friends, but
his fathers mere presence had frighten-
ed him from doing it. He stood trem-
bling at the window, while the doctor
stretched in an easy chair near at hand.
They waited. The doctor could tell by
his sons increasing agitation that the
great moment was near. Suddenly he
heard Willie DalZels voice hiss out
word, ''S-s-silencew Then the same
voice addressed Jimmie ut the window:

Desert Plants,

Plants OF the desert as rule, pos
sess few leaves, the cactus, for in
stance, being mostly spines. There Is
very good reason for the lack Of
leaves in desert plants. The object Is
to check the TRANSPORTATION Of moisture
by offering as small surface as pos
sible to the dry air. For the same rea.
son the roots OF desert plants usually
run deep into the soil so that they can
suck up all the available moisture. In
some instances the leaves assume q
vertical position and thus avoid the
direct rays OF the burning desert sun.
On the other hand, the leaves Of trees

Shininu Ewes,

Why do the eyes Of some animals,
notably the dog, the cat and the horse,
shine in the dark? Naturalists say
that 1t Is because their eyes secrete a
pigment of a brilliant metallic luster
Mt the bottom of the eyeball, which
acts as q concave reflector, causing
the rays Of light to traverse the retlna
a second time. This probably increases
the power Of vision, particularly where
only feeble light is admitted to the
eye. The choroid OF the human eye,
on the contrary, is lined with dark
brown or black pigment, which does
not reflect light. This peculiar con-
struction Of animals eyes is part Of the
protective scheme Of nature.
