EGG BOUND.

It Is seldom that hen is saved
from this trouble, because she is not
often noticed until gangrene has SET
In.
In such case the hen. by severe
straining, or the chicken doctor. by
pressing the egg. will often break down
the dead tissue, and the egg and sue
ceeding eggs until death will go through
the broken wall into the abdominal
cavity.
A victim Of egg bound will some
times linger on the nest all day and
be taken out by mistake and shut up
for broody.
She oft fingers about the nest. goes
OF and on, humps her back as in lay
ing and strains. Her fluff will get
filthy from frequent voiding. as with
diarrhea. Blood will sometimes show
from ruptures by straining, and in the
end prolapsus of the oviduct occurs, a
violet colored mass protruding.
The latter sometimes occurs after
laying a large egg. and a piece of ice
placed within its folds generally
causes the oviduct to go back to its
place. But in egg bound it is nearly
always dark purple. which indicates
gangrene. or putrefaction, and then
the sufferer should be killed.
BY pressure on the abdomen the egg
may be felt near the vent, though a
tumor will often take the same shape
and cause almost identical symptoms.
Egg bound is generally caused by an
overlarge egg that cannot be expelled,
by a soft shelled egg blocking the
egress Of a perfect egg, by an infiam.
nation that dries up the secretion
that lubricates the passage down
which the egg slips, by tumor. by
excess fat. by constipation blocking
the outlet with accumulated faces or
by the foolish use Of egg stimulants.
An injection Of oil. followed by gen.
tie pressure on the parts where the
egg II felt, will sometimes expel the
egg, but hard pressure nearly always
causes rupture. and the hen bleeds to
death.
The hen may sometimes be saved
BY puncturing the egg and removing
It piece by piece.

AN ovERGROWN APPETITE.

Woodrow Wilson. erstwhile pres'uen
of Princeton, and governor-elect VI
aw Jersey. has shown habit ior
saving the pat and needed thing. In
a sneech last week he referred to one
of the weaknesses OF the american
people in the phrase IAN appetite ioi
legislation"
That sizes up a very obvious railing
to which We are prone. The average
American is never SO happy as when
urging new law. Whenever we 10
not like a condition our first idea Is
to change it by legislation. We seem
TO take it for granted that our wealth
orr morals. our spiritual comforts can
be kept pure, tolerable and growing
only by being run frequently through
lawmaking mill.
The result is that in every state the
people are fairly sweltering In a mass
of undigested legislation. the greater
par. of it of little practical worth be-
You'd making job for the printer an
the rag picker.
There is altogether too much law
in America This is one of the reason
why we sometimes feel lack Of re-
spect for law as an institution. Our
law is such a helter-skelter conglom-
Grafton that it does not appeal to our
sense of proportion, and does not
make itself felt by its inherent wis
dom and virtue. A few laws, wise and
beneficent and simple, would afford
us better ground for all our operation
and would also tend to create respect
for law because of it's manifest logic
and sense.
Out of the thousands of bills intro
duced every two years in the legisla-
turc, a small half dozen are of real
need and real worth.
1t has been suggested in this state
thai session of the legislature once
in ten years, with special sessions
when occasion demanded, would work
for the general good.
At any rate no man doubts that far
too many laws are put upon our
books.
The people of Minnesota might be
truly thankful If the coming session
of the legislature would lend vigorous
and virtuous assistance to the noble
effort OF curbing this very bad apo
tite We have contracted.-St. Paul Pho

however. of bringing not merely the

In fact. the Netherlands feel them
selves between the devil and the deep sea
in so far as their colonies are concerned,
with japan as an inevitable menace on
the one hand and with Germany as an
equally grave peril on the other. Under
the circumstances it is not surprising
that many OF the more thoughtful sub
jects Of Queen wilheImina, who have
care not merely for the present but also
for the future OF their country, should
consider the policy of selling their COL
onies for a large sum. while they are
still theirs to sell. Java, Sumatra and
other Dutch possessions in the Far East
and New Guinea, covering altogether an

market. and, forming as they do a very
desirable piece of property. cannot fail to
become the subject not only of fierce
competition, but possibly of international
complications, since Japan seems dis
posed to establish something very much
akin to a Monroe Doctrine with regard
to the Far Orient and TO prevent any
change without her consent in the status
quo which she has pledged herself by a
number of treaties to- maintain. Ger
tainly she would not relish the Dutch
Indies passing into the possession of
either the United States or Germany.

Dutch are more sensible. especially in
business matters, and once convinced
that it would be to the advantage OF the

terry Of the Pacific which. according TO
their own repeated admission, they are
determined to possess, and that with
this object In view it is spending much
money in fortifying the Hawaiian Isl
ands, the Philippines and the island of
Guam. It is therefore perfectly natural
that they should regard this country as
not only ready but even eager to snatch
away from them the northern portion of
the island of SaghaIin by means of
purchase, IN order to strengthen its po-
sition in the Northern Pacific and along
the northern portion of the eastern coast
of Asia. including the mouth of the
Amoor River, unless their minds are dis
abused by public announcement to the
effect that it does not wish for any part
OF Sagha1in, and would not accept, even
as a gift. the Russian moiety of this

by foreign visitors. as the nearest ap-

REIMBURSEMENT of colonies by means
Of sale or gift does not necessarily i'm
ply weakness and Russia has many
precedents TO go by in the event Of her
disposing of the northern half OF the
Saghalin island to Japan. She was at
the height of her strength and power
when she sold Alaska to the United
States; while the first Napoleon was in
the most glorious portion Of his reign
when he sold all of Frances vast hold

Islands, upon the fortification and de-
velopment of which she had spent a
considerable sum of money, and in the

repeatedly been discussed in recent
years whether it would not be wise to
sell Java. Sumatra and the other East
Indian possessions of Holland before
they were seized by other powers. the
debaters prudently refraining from men
tioning the powers which inspired ap-
prehensions IN this respect.
The Dutch Indies are no longer the
same source of wealth to the mother
country which they once We're. They
have ceased TO be self-supporting, and
constitute a drain upon the national e1-
chequer Of the Netherlands, a fact which
is to a great extent attributable to the
heavy expenditure Of life and money in
volved in the efforts to suppress the
native instructions, which have contin-
ued almost without interruption for a
hundred years past in Sumatra. In fact,
Holland has experienced so much diff
