CATCHING Sea Birds.

An ingenious way of catching birds
is practised in the Orkney islands.
There is a large white bird who trav-
els with an irregular and heavy
flight. again and again rising and
taking a tremendous plunge into the
blue depths of the ocean, where it re-
mans out of sight for the space of 15
seconds or so. This bird is the gan
net or solan goose, and it is the only
aquatic bird that takes it's prey by
headlong diving. The willy Orcadian
takes advantage of the birds peculiar
plunging habit by painting the por-
trait of herring on piece of plank
and weighing it just sufficiently to
keep it the right distance under the
water. This ingenious counterfeit is
placed in a part of the sea infested by
gannets, and presently along comes a
bird whose sharp eye quickly detects
what he supposes to be fine fat her
ring. Away up he flies until he has
reached a sufficient altitude to enable
him to make a successful dive upon
his prey Down, down he comes
straight as plummet, and the sea is
churned into foam all around where
he has entered it. But, alas! he
never rises more, poor bird! His
sharp beak is firmly imbedded in the
piece of timber, and his neck is
broken.-London Telegraph.

was found, however, that to be sue
cessful the poison must be scattered
in the spring, when the dogs first
come out from their winter quarters
and before the green grass is offered
to appease their hungry appetltes.
Next spring the poisoning will be uni
dertaken much more extensively. 4
well-known stockman in northern Ar1I
iona writing to the forest service of
his stock range on the great Canyon
Diablo plateau, says: Five years ago
such thing as a prairie dog was I'M
known here Two years ago there
were few widely distributed over
the range. Last year they became nu-
merous, in fact, quite common. Ii
something is not promptly done to de-
stroy them they will do great harm
to the range"
1t is expected that the campaign
against the dogs in the Arizona and
New Mexico forests will be most sue
cessful, as it has met with universal
favor among the stockmen who are
giving every assistance to the forest
service men.
Stockmen and others who wish to
try the poisoning on their own &C
count can obtain the formula for its
preparation and direction for its use
from the district forester at Albu-
querque, New Mexico, or from the for
est service, Washington.

masters to post their accounts and
take inventory of their stock of

settlement with the post Office depart

berry or fire. He also spoke of the
necessity of extreme care in preser-

envelopes or packages had been
robbed or tempered with.
In Justification of the quarterly
form of voucher for salaries of rural
mail carriers" he said, 81 will say
that the new system not only lessons
the work of the state inspectors and
the Milwaukee post Office in checking
up the vouchers by two-thirds, but
also facilitates the work of the post

checking up now there is only one
voucher to handle instead of three
monthly vouchers as before"

for investment in government bonds
and SIS per cent. at the call of the pres

should Be Given Laraer Powers.

should Be Given Larger Powers.
That the commissioner of Wis
consin should be given power to
supervise, control, and take charge of
the liquidation of all delinquent in
surance corporations within the state,
IN manner similar to that provided
by the New York law, is a measure
recommended by Insurance Commits
sioner George E. Beedle, in his annual
report on local mutuals, issued.
Similar provisions are in force in
other states, and their operation is
declared to have been very successful
and satisfactory alike to the interests
of the policy holders and stockhold-
ers. The law relating to banks in this
state contains similar authority to the
commissioner of banking
The temptation in the management
of mutual companies to eliminate as
many members as possible in order to
divide up a large mutual surplus,
which under the present law belongs
only to the members who at the time
have insurance policies in force, is
emphasized by the commissioner, who
urges legislation to remedy such a sit
uation
Mutual insurance companies are or
dinarily organized with view to fur
nishing insurance to the community
at the least possible cost. For this pur-
pose members are willing to allow a
part of the savings and gain of the
business to remain with the company
to enable it to withstand excessive
losses. Almost every policy holder is
willing to make this contribution pro-
vided there be reasonable assurance
that it shall be maintained for that
purpose and not go to fatten the peck
cts of such as might secure the con-
troll of the company only for the pur-
pose of wrecking it and distributing
the accumulated assets among them
selves. This would be effectually pre-
vented by the law which before re-
ceived the favorable consideration of
the legislature and the enactment of
such law will inevitably benefit not
only all mutual companies but sound
insurance in general" says the re-
port.
The report shows the following
number of mutual companies doing
business in Wisconsin: Mutual town
insurance companies, 204; city and
village mutual companies, So mutual
church insurance companies, 4; mu-
tual hall insurance companies, 15;
lers and manufacturers mutuals, l.;
hardware dealers mutuals, 1; jewel
ers' mutuals, /.

WIN Discuss Fruit Farms.

The summer meeting of the State
horticultural society to be held in
Oconomowoc, August II promises to
be of unusual interest to many besides
the professional horticulturist. Back
to the Land" is the main topic, and
several well-known Wisconsin people,
including c. B. Whitnall, city treasur-
er of Milwaukee; Ernest Gonzenbach,
president of the Sheboygan Light &
Power company, are on the program
for addresses.
Lest these men, city bred with a
longing for the fruits of toll, should
paint the joys of life on a fruit farm
in too bright colors, Secretary Crane
field has arranged for discussions by
practical fruit men who will show the
otner side OF the picture.
In addition to the papers and dis
cussions on the possibilities for a city
bred man in fruit raising, a gardening
session will be held when cultural
problems will be discussed.

Carrying Plague From Rats.

Egyptian or rat fleas had been
spread all over the warm countries of
the world by the rats which they wor-
ry and ride. 1t has been proved that
man f1eas and cat fieas can carry
plague, but not so strong or deadly as
the rat fiea's plague. One fea's stom-
ach and gizzard hold 5000 plague
germs, where germs can further grow
and keep alive for Is days, but after
Is days white blood cells in the rats
or fiea's blood kill the plague germs
Fleas suck the rats blood, and so get
white cells from the rats. Both rats
and feas become so charged that the
plague stops owing to immunity.
