The Tiniest of All

One Of the rarest and most uncanny zoo babies is
the kangaroo. It takes most observant and careful
keeper to discover that there is at all, for Il is
microscopic when born, being only one inch from
to the extreme tip OF its little tall II Is nat
urally the most peculiarly feeble OF all offspring In
appearance IT resembles earthworm IN color and
transparency. For four or FIVE months IL lives and
is nourished in its mothers pouch before it gets its
hair and is of men,
Then its little brown head is seen peeping like a
squirrel out of the protecting pouch All this time
its characteristic long legs growing longer and
longer, until by the time 1t ventures out into the
world alone it looks like kangaroo picture in
school geography.

baby died OF starvation. he refused to take
ishment above water. Here is what d baby hippo is
fed For breakfast, quarts of bran, three loaves
OF bread with apples peeled and cut in small pieces
mixed and softened with water. He is fed by hand,

FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND OTHER REPORTS
CHICAGO STOCK MARKET.

Joe Dietrich Of Tracy, Steward &
Co., Chicago, writes:
There was strong demand for all
range cattle, both steer and she stock
and a general advance scored in price
compared with Wednesday last week,
when the last rangers were here
Packers bought freely and there was
also some shipping competition FOR
good steers which tended to give the
trade a lively tone; clearance of the
supply was made in early season. Top
steers were the Heinrich, Montana,
and Dana, Wyoming, which sold at
S.; top rangers a year ago sold for
$685. and bulk of steers for $3.50 to
$50. We had some Indian cattle
here last week from Montana which
sold at $685..
The above prices will readily show
that this is the great central market,
and the competition with the outside
demand clearly demonstrates it is to
your best interests to make your ship
ments to Chicago, where the demand
lis unlimited and you we'll know COM
petition is the life of trade.

Curious Habits Of Spiders.

The water spider carries air dowL
with it when it dives. DR.. McCook
saw one remain forty-five minutes un-
der the water. One water spider
builds a nest under; the water attached
to the stem of some plant and in the
shape of a diving bell, with the open
ing downward. 1t fills this bell with
air by taking down a bubble at time.
Coming to the surface, it incloses an
air bubble under its body and instant
" descends. Getting under the nest,
the bubble is allowed to escape into it,
and this process continues until the
nest is full Of air. The spider then
lays its eggs there, inclosed In CO.
coon, and leaves them to grow in this
underwater palace, safe from all fly
ing foes. When these water spiders
are seen under water they look like
little balls of shining silver. Little
bubbles OF air seem to cling among the.
hairs of their bodies, As spiders, like
insects, breathe the air at little holes
along the whole length Of the body,
they, can easily make use Of these bulb
bles OF air for Observation-Disclosures

! Silver cups made by such famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor
were preferred to gold cups. They
were very beautifully engraved and Of

ed with precious stones they some
times became peers Of the engraved

designs were these drinking cups. and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate
rial OF which they were made. Some
had two handles, some only one and
some none at all. They were large and
small, low and tail, narrow and OBJ
long. They were purely the product Of
the varying fancy Of that prodigious
age, which seemed to scorn uniform

drank hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea, these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee orfgi-

That the members Of the A. S. OF

a temporary glut on the grain market
this fall, which would mean CHEAP
prices to the producers for the 1905
crop, is evident by the following reso'
lutions passed by the convention OF
District Union No. l, held In Fargo
July q, 1909. It was resolved tc
urge all members having pledged grain
and others who are willing to help
the cause along, to market their grain
through the Equity Cooperative Elk
change at Duluth, Superior and Min
neapolis, until the society can estab-
lish the Equity Terminal Elevator Co.
which they are about to incorporate
and every farmer in the grain growing
states, including members and those
who are not members of the society,
is advised to hold every portion OF
this years crop that is possible OF
the market until they are able to Sc
cure the minimum price, the same as
they did last year, and they will be
successful regardless of speculative in
terests on +he board of trade. The
