Referendum in England.
m the London Spectator.

From Tue LONDON SpectdtOr.
The proposal to employ the referendum
as solution Of the present constitutional
crisis is attracting more and more at
tention, and we believe that IL we can
only get over the ordinary mans sus-
picion Of novelty we shall be able to
inducs, the controllers of the liberal ma
chine, in whom the real resistance lies,
to allow the people the right to say
whether they will or will not adopt the
vast constitutional revolution that Is now
proposed. All we ask is that the people
shall decide.

The report comes from Washington
that Governor Eberhart while there
made no secret of his ambition to go
to the United States senate as the
successor of Senator CIapp. The ma
jority of the Republican members of
the Legislature are at present pledged
to vote for Senator Clapp. and if any
serious attempt is made to elect Mr..
Eberhart it will be disastrous to the
present newborn harmony in the Re-
publican party of the state. The peo-
pie of the state want progressive
like Clapp and if the party should
turn him down now it would never
again be worthy of confidence.

GNAW BARK OF TREES.
Great Injury Is Done During the Win
ter Months by Rabbits
and Mice.

Injury is often caused during the
winter by mice and rabbits gnawing
the bark of small trees; in some cases
entirely girdling them. This may be
prevented by covering the trunks of
the trees with lath or wire protectors,
fine enough to keep out mice. Re
move rubbish from next the trees, or
tramp the snow down closely around
them, to protect from injury by mice.
If there is a heavy fall of snow during
the winter, or it banks up around the
trees, rabbits often injure the branch
es that they can reach from the drifts
The surest preventive for this injury
is to use a boy and shotgun to kill
all rabbits about the place. They may
also be caught in various types OF
traps. Smearing the trees with blood
is also a deterrent.-Le Roy Cady,
Minnesota University Farm.
Morris tribune., 1910-12-23

Regarding Mr.. Vincent, who was
recently selected as president of the
state university, the Chicago Tribune
said editorially: "The University of
Chicago loses one of the strongest of
it's faculty by the selection of Dean
Vincent to be president of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. But what is Chi
cago's loss is the gain of one of the
most honored of the great state uni
versities, and no good American will
begrudge to such an institution head
who will serve it so we'll. A scholar,
an executive, forceful and eloquent
speaker, a man we'll and widely ac-
quainted with the West, its people
and it's ideals. the newly chosen pres
ident brings to his office an exception
al equipment. A new stage of broad
and vigorous growth may be predicted
of the University of Minnesota. "

John Saugstad, who won seat in
the state senate over A. D. Stephens
by the sticker route. will have to
stand a contest from that gentleman.
altho his majority was a safe one.
These contests are finally decided by
the Senate itself and that the majority
will be inclined to favor Mr.. Saugstad
is shown by the recognition which
was recently given him at meeting
of Republican senators. Senator Ste
phens has always been a member of
the stalwarts.

RHUBARB FOR WINTER USE
Plant Can Be Grown Successfully in
the Cellar.

Where one has a nice patch of rhu-
barb on the place, it is sometimes de
sirable to take up a large clump or
several plants; allow them to freeze;
then place them in the cellar in soil;
water carefully, and allow the plants
to grow. Rhubarb should be placed in
a temperature of from 40 to so de
grees for best growth. If grown in
the dark, the leaves are very small,
and the stalk is large and tender.
Three or four ordinary clumps of rhu-
barb will furnish a good many messes
during the winter This forcing de-
stroys the plants for further use.-Le
Roy Cady, Minnesota University
Farm.

PRODUCTION OF BROILERS
Young Birds Should Be Cooped Up
and Well Fed.

1t is not practical for poultry raisers
to give their broilers much range,
when it is intended to put them on
the market at an early day. 1t has
been suggested, at the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station, that fattening stock
should be confined in small quarters,
with an ambundance of fresh air and
water, and proper sanitary conditions;
and be fed on wholesome, fattening
food. The same amount of food that
such stock would be fed during a Civ
en- time, when running at large, will
produce the desired marketing condi-
tions much quicker if the stock is kept
in confinement 1t is therefore mat.
ter of economy to coop the young
birds intended for market, and convert
them into cash early.

At Wellman's undertaking parlor there
was held today by Dr. Alexander, cor
oner, an inquest into the death of ]. G..
Furney, who was shot and killed last
night at about 9 o'clock by Patrolman
Rudolph Talley,
Abbreviated of all unnecessary details,
the homicide resulted from J. G. Furney
being drunk and disorderly and resist
ing arrest.
Furney was with his brother, Sam
Furney, whose home is in Sulphur
Springs, Texas. They were from the
oil fields where they had been working.
When on Texas avenue near the campus
of the high school, ]. G. Furney without
provocation slapped a negress in the face
and was otherwise disorderly 1t would
seem that his brother Sam could not
control him. About this time Patrolman
Talley appeared on the scene. He was
going to the station to report for duty.
He had no baton, but has his pistol. The
testimony before the conorer's jury de
veloped that when Taliey tried to arrest
Furney he resisted and the two clinched.
During the melee the combatants fell
through a gate into lot, and it was
while wrestling that Talley shot.
Nearby was the brother of the de-
ceased and others who had offered no
assistance TO the officer.
The verdict is that ]. G. Furney came
to his death from pistol wound infict-
ed by Randolph Talley, patrolman.
This homicide may be regretted, but
could have been avoided if the officer
had been helped by the eye-witnesses to
the resistance offered, and it would not
have occurred if the deceased, aged "a,
had not been drunk Where did he get
the booze? Who is responsible for hav-
ing sold him the booze?
The deceased will be conveyed to his
childhood home in Texas for burial
