clean Farming Profitable.

Honest, now, don't you like to see
q farm kept clean OF all unnecessary
trash and the fields clean Of weeds?
1t really adds to the worth of the
farm. In the eyes of the man passing
by 1t Is a better farm than the one
beside 1t Of equal soil, though weed
grown and brushy.
A great many folks pay no atten-
ton to the roadsldes. Where a hedge
ls the outside fence, we have seen
hedge brush grow from roots that had
been exposed by road grading, until
travel had actually been turned to
the opposite because of 1t. This
doesn't speak very well for the care
fulness of the farmer. OF course there
IL always 30 much to do on q farm
that some of 1t never gets done-any
one who has farmed for as short a
time as one year knows this-but the
time required to do a little cleaning
up Is really shorter than a busy man
believes. It Is getting started at the
work that comes hardest. The excuse
Of the man who does not have a clean
looking farm is usually that he does
not care about selling, and 1t is worth
as much to him that way as any He
does not figure in anything for salts

A Useful BIRD.

A family of barn owls win number
from three to seven birds. It Is diff
cult to believe what a lot Of vermin
and rodents a family of owls will con-
sumo. An old owl win capture as
much or more food than
dozen cats in night The
owlets are always hungry. They
will eat their weight in food every
night and more II they can get
it. A case is on record in which q
half grown owl was given all the mice
It could eat 1t swallowed eight one
right after another. The ninth fol-
lowed all but the tail, which for some
time hung out of the birds mouth.
The rapid digestion of birds of prey
Is shown by the fact that in three
hours the little glutton was ready for
a second meal and swallowed four
more mice. II this can be done by a
single bird what effect must a whols
family Of owls have on the rodents Of

MEANS A Big SAVING
RAILROAD COMMISSION ORDER
In WASHINGTON STATE.
Freight Rates on Grain Are Ordered
Greatly Reduced for This Year
Wheat Shippers Gamer by Nearly
Half Million Dollars Year-order
Based on Enormous Railroad Profits,

Olympla.-The state railroad commits
sion has issued an order COMMANDING
the Northern Pacific, except on its
Washington Central branch, to reduce
freight rates on grain to 81 1-2 per cent
OF the rates in effect June 80 this year.
rms is estimated to mean a saving to
wheat shippers of from 100000 to
100000 per annum,
Tins is the order in the famous
Cunningham complaint which has
been pending before the commission
Tor several years. The reduction is
based on the findings that the North
ern Pacific is making more than
$1OOO,oo0 a year profit on exclusively
state business over and above z per
cent annual revenue on its invest
ment.
The 0. R. & N. is expected to meet
the cut as it relates to competitive
territory of that road and the North
ern Pacific. The decision in the case
OF the Great Northern and the Wash
lngton Central branch of the Northern
Pacific is to be handed down later.
The opinion in the case gives in
detail the methods used by the com
mission in arriving at their decision
and is replete with data showing the
enormous growth in Northern Pacific
business. In the last five years the
records show the earnings of that
company have about doubled.
The new rate means a reduction of
the freight rates to coast points on
grain ranging from almost one and
one-half cents a bushel in the Spo-
kane and Palouse country to little
more than one cent q bushel from
Mabton and Prosser. The reduction
from the Walla Walla zone is almost
one and one-quarter cents.

Conversation Of Bees.

In an article on bees and ants by
CASTOR BOWER in the Revue Heb
domadaire the writer contends that
these insects carry on conversation
among themselves and that, while this
is done by means Of their feelers, they
are not entirely dependent upon them.
"A whole colony" says Mr.. Bouwer,
I'm an anthouse or a beehive often
responds instantaneously to a signal
which may have been given without
contact. 1t is interesting to see an
ant laborer for whom burden is too
heavy go to a fellow, make sign or
give a certain touch with his feeler,
and then see the second insect join
the first in lifting or moving the OBJ

Hot water is one Of the best known
natural agents for relieving soreness.

no serious objection to its publication.

significant.

to Cook s main proposition as explicitly
and unequivocally as my command of
the English language permits.
AS regards details of my evidence in
refutation of Cook IS story, I am sure
the Herald and others will acl1nowl-
edge the force of the situation when
say these details will await a cor

of Cook s journey over his signature.
At this distance I have only frag-

concerning Cook s version of his story,
full of self-evident errors of hurried
transmission and typesetting.

patch is Mr.. Peary's reply.
Cook in New York Sept. 81.
Christiansand, Norway, Sept. IL
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, just before sail
ing for home, said:
elf have handed out gold brick ,
I have gold bricked Captain sverdrup,
Commander Hoxgaard, King Frederick,
the Danish and Norwegian public, the
president of the United States, my
benefactors, my friends and my family
and am deserving of utter ostracism by
all decent people,"
He is due in New York September 81.
Naval officers Censure Peary.
The prevalent opinion in Washing
ton, even among naval officers, is not
only sympathetic with DR.. Cook, but is
inclined to be antagonistic to Peary.
Almost without exception officials of
the navy resent his action in calling a
fellow explorer an impostor before ac-
uuainting himself with the evidence.
They regard this as reflection upon
the navy's reputation for fair play.
