Effect of Co!ors on Animals,


The effect Of color upon mind is most
easily noticeable in dumb animals, be-
u they make no effort to curb or
control their emotions. Wave q red
flag at a bull and he becomes violently
angry. Shake a red shawl in front Of
a turkey gobbler and he will storm
around fearfully. I made an expert
ment In the country n summer to
see if this same fact held true of other
animals. On my farm I had an enor-
mously fat, lazy pig hat disliked moth
ing so much as to 20 All day long
it used to lie asleep In the sunshine,
and sometimes even the attraction Of
food could not bulge it. 1 took a num-
Der Of pieces Of silk of the same quail
ty, but Of different shades, and, after
waking the pig, waved each strip Of
silk In front of it. For the blue and
green it never moved, but when 1
waved the red and orange strips it
jumped to its feet, stamped about and
appeared to be thoroughly angry. Time
and again 1 repeated this experiment
and always with the same result

RECOGNIZED Their Old Friend.

The late Sir John Steel, who was
sculptor to Queen Victoria, was model
ing a bust of Miss Nightingale when
an officer Of M Of the highland regi-
ments which had suffered so cruelty in
the Crimea heard that the bust had
just been completed and was in Sir
Johns studio. Many of the men in his
company had passed through the hos
pital at Scutari, and he obtained per-
mission from the sculptor to bring
some Of them to see It. Accordingly a
squad of men n day marched into
the studio and stood in line. They had
no idea why they had been mustered
in Sc strange n place. Without a word
Of warning the bust was uncovered,
and then, as by one impulse, the mer,
broke rank and with cries Of Miss
Nightingale, Miss Nightingale" sur
rounded the model and. with hats of,
cheered the figure Of their devoted
nurse until the roof rang. So sponta-
neous and hearty and so inspiring was
the whole scene that in after days Sir
John Steel declared it to be the great
est compliment of his life.

A Friend In a Foe,


I'm one Of the worst London fogc,''
said an Englishman, IAN old friend of
mine tried to find his way from Ira
falgar square to the Savoy, where he
had an engagement to dine.
"The sulphurous air made the eyes
smart and the head ache, and it
brought on terrific fits Of coughing.
You could not literally see your hand
before your face. There was a con-
tinual crashing in Of windows, bells
tangled, vehicles and foot passengers
collided, and shrieks and oaths arose.
"Threading his way in the midst Of
this pandemonium through the Strand,
as he supposed, from Landseer's lions
to the waiting dinner at the Savoy, my
old friend, to his great bewilderment,
soon found himself descending q broad
stairway. He put his hand to the
balustrade. Yes, a broad and stately
stairway with a rail Of carved stone.
Amazing!
"Suddenly in his descent my friend
collided with some one ascending the,
stairway.
"'Hello!' he said.
"'Hello! a gruf male voice replied.
scan you tell me- said my friend,
I am going?'
"'Certainly,' said the other. If you
keep straight on you will walk into
the Thames, for I've just come out of

done we'll on the dry farm, macaroni
wheat, hulless barley, spring rye,
early maturing oats and fax may be
mentioned. Hulless barley is one OF
the safest. Flax is adapted for growth
on land freshly broken, but is not
superior to the hulless barley. Maca.
roni wheat, Turkey red fall wheat and
fall rye are very profitable dry land
crops.
AS to the time OF seeding spring
sown crops ought to be planted as
soon as the soil is in condition. Fall
crops have done we'll when seeded
from August Is to October Is, but we
regard the latter part of August as
the safest and would recommend this.
Light seeding ought to be practiced.
From three pecks to one bushel of
seed is ample with most of the crops.
Heavy seeding is adapted for hay
production, but it is not wisest when
when grain is desired.
Grain ought not to be planted
broadcast. Use a good press drill
and plant the seed we'll down into the

ATTACK TARIFF BILL.
Opponents Of New Measure Play For
Political Advantage.

Political Advantage.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-That the
Payne tariff bill will increase the cost
of living; hat 1t is crude, indefinite,
sectional and prohibitive: and that it
Is an open challenge to a trade war
with every other nation, are some of
the criticisms of that measure made
by the democr attic members of the ways
and means committee in the minority
report submitted to the house by Mi.
nority Leader Champ Clark today.
The report IL q severe araignment OF
the revision which the Payne bill
proposes. The counterv ailing duty
provisions for coffee and petroleum,
the maximum and minimum features,
the Cuban reciprocity clause, the
wooden, glass, agricultural and sugar
schedules r bitterly attacked.
Declaring that a tariff is q tax paid
by the consumer and that the only
legitima ate function Of q tariff is to
raise revenue to supply the needs of
the government, the minority members
insist that instead of an increase of
taxes the correct remedy for the grow.
ing deficiency in the revenue is q re-
duction Of the expenditures of the
government.
Continuing the report declares: The
m q vfvo,~n md s.frSocun ~-se
scheme as set forth in the Payne bill
enables foreign countries to force Us
to raise the rates of the Payne sched-
ules 20 per cent, which would, after
making ample allowance for all re.
d%uctions in the Payne bill, increase
u tariff rates on the average
much above the rates of the Dingley
law, q prospect which will bring sor-
row and dismay to the great body of
the people. We are most heartily in
favor of a maximum and minimum
tariff which will enable our govern.
ment to negotiate tariff agreements by
making concessions to other govern
ments by reducing the rates Of our
statute when such other country will
make equally valuable concessions to
us; but, as it stands, the maximum

bill is an open challenge to a trade
war with every other nation on the
earth. 1t is seeking trade with a club

Los ANGELES, March 22-For more
than so hours now friends of the six
men who assembled from Tournament
park At 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon
in the big Ferris balloon "Americs,"
have been without word of them, OF
without the slightest knowledge of the
fate that has overtaken the in
trepid balloonists. AS far as in
formation here goes no humon
being has caught sight of the
huge gas bag since it rose above
the park enclosure in sight Of 5000
enthusiastic sight seers with its load of
human freight and, carried by q swift
breeze, sailed majestically into the
low hanging clouds that lay far down
on the mountain sides, and disap-
peared from the view of the gathered
throng. The belief that some tragic
fate has befallen the men who formed
the party has led to the formation of
many relief expeditions into various
parts of the Sierra Madre mountains,

drew the balloon when it had reached

DRY FARMING SUGGESTIONS.

An educational campaign on the
subject of dry farming is being con.
dncted by officials of the Montana
experiment station at Bozeman, n
of the bulletins recently issued being
some timely suggestions by Professor
Alfred Atkinson. The bulletin says
in part:
Dry farming differs from humid or
irrigation farming in that the supply
of moisture is not 20 abundant. Dry
farming practices must therefore be
designed to conserve the moisture both
by proper GUILTY. alton and the use of
drouth resistant crops.
Experience and experimentation in
dictate that breaking a best be done
during the months of April, May and
June. At this time the ground plows
easily and the succulent grass decom-
poses rapidly when turned under.
While there are wide differences OF
opinion regarding the best depth to
break, good results have usually been
gained OF breaking as deep as posi-.
BILE. This will vary in different soils,
but breaking from three to six inches
is considered safe.

Hard to Kill.

A distinguished entomologist, J. G..
Warburg, writes: "When I was still
new to collecting. in the south Of
France I discovered one day, to my
great Joy, a large female Of Saturnia
pyrt hidden away in some bushes. The
specimen was the first I had ever
caught, and I decided, on account Of
its large body, to stuff it IA quite un-
necessary operation; I have kept doz-
ems since unstuffed). The moth was
first apparently killed by being forced
into a cyanide bottle, where it was
left about an hour. The abdomen was
then emptied and the cavity filled
with cotton wool soaked in a %saturat-
cd solution Of mercuric chloride. The
insect. pinned and set. was discov-
cred next day attempting to fly away
