FARM

Some valuable suggestions as to tn.
class OF immigrants who should be en-
couraged to come to the United States
are contained in the report to- con
gress Of Senator Dillingham;, chair
man Of the joint immigration commits
sion. The report states that in Can
ada. whose immigration laws ant
statistics were thoroughly investigat
ed, it is the policy Of the govern
ment to encourage such immigrants as
desire to engage in agricultural pur
suits and to discourage those Who are
likely to seek other employment. The
result is that the most desirable class
of immigrants come to Canada, sew.
enty per cent Of them coming from the
north of Europe, and thirty per cent
from the south Of Europe.
In the United States this condition
is reversed and the majority of immi
grants come from Southern Europe,
The latter are not farmers usually. but
go to work In the mines or other
trades which are already crowded or
engage in some minor business. The
advantages Of encouraging an agricui
tural class Of immigrants are many.
There is still plenty of raw land in the
united States to- be brought under
cultivation. Much of it is not of the
best but will yield good returns to
the proper sort of cultivation. These
immigrants, accustomed to- make the
overworked soil of the old world pro-
duce. will work wonders with the
waste places Of the United States.
There is also need for fore intensive
farming IN the best lands of the
United States and the European farm
er is well trained for this work.
The immigrant who takes up a farm
or engages in work on a farm becomes
Immediately self-supporting, and in
nearly all cases a law-abiding citizen.
while the thousands dumped down in
the large cities have a hard time to
exc out an existence and, crowded into
tenements, furnish a large portion of
the criminal class.
AS a result of the report Of the i'm
migration commission. legislation
should be forthcoming as in Canada,
which will encourage only the agri.
cultural class of immigrants to come
to the United States. They are never
a trouble TO the country but instead add
to its wealth and prosperity. America
still has o for millions of these
people, but it is time to call a halt ON
the less desirable classes which an.
nually flock to this country.-Sioux

LONG IN COLD STORAGE.

Sioux Falls-Just for the novelty of
the thing, Carl Busch, member Of a
produce firm at Woonsocket, while
packing eggs for shipment to eastern
markets about a year ago, wrote his
name and address on n Of the eggs.
He now Is in receipt Of a letter from
n Of the cooks on the United States
ship Michigan, stationed at Beaufort,
N. c., In which the cook states that
he ran across the marked egg while
aiding in preparing a meal for the
ships crew. The egg, which appears
somewhat ancient to the people of
South Dakota. who secure their eggs
fresh from the farm, evidently had a
long acquaintance with cold storage
before finding its way to one of the
warships of Uncle Sam.

His are the only Kidding and driving
and trained bison ever known. They
arc full blood buffalo and Major Yokun
states that for Ave long years his
buffalo team has been his treasure.
The current belief that they are prac.

determination to conquer and educate
them. The more his friends Knocked
the greater effort Yokum employed,
and at last, after many and repeated

How to Grow Short.

If you climb a mountain your
height decreases by three-quarters
of an inch, and it may even diminish
exceptionally by a full inch. This
is fact known to all experienced
mountain and Alpine climbers. On
reaching the summit of the heights
that form the pleasure ascents Of
holiday makers in the Alpine dis
tricts the stature of the climber is
found to have become less to the
extent already mentioned. When
the Alpinist has descended 10 the
ordinary level his height begins TO
increase, but the normal length Of
the body is not attained until sew
eral hours after reaching the regu-
ar surface OF the earth.

the smoking car of the elevated
railway train, was making his de-
vious way out Of it through the mar
row space left by the passengers on
the side seats who had crossed their

One man whose foot blocked the
passage almost entirely refused to
surrender an inch of space, and the
tall man, after waiting a moment,
raised his own foot and brought it
down with emphasis on the other
mans ankle and instep, crushing
the offending foot to the floor and
stepping on it with his whole

consciousness that he had perform

went down the stairway to the

The sillin.t Rird..

Dodo is the Portuguese name for
simpieton, and it is given to the
silliest bird that ever lived. Three
hundred years ago, when the Portu-
guese first visited the island of Maui
ritius, they found a large number
of these birds. They were about
the size of a large swan, blaekish
gray in color and having only a
bunch of feathers in place of tail
and little, useless wings. More
stupid and foolish birds could not
be imagined. They ran about max
ing a silly, kissing noise like a
goose, and the sailors easily knocked
them over with their paddles. They
couldn't fly, they couldn't swim, they
couldn't run at any great speed, and
as for fighting, they were the great
est towards in the world. The
were much too stupid to build a
nest, and so they dropped an egg
and went off to let it hatch as best
it could.

Tn. Suns vsoors.

"Chromosphere2 is the name CIV
en- to layer of incandcscent vapors
in the sun. enveloping the entire
philosophers. It's depth varies at
different times and n different
parts and ranges from G,OOO to
5000 miles. The ch7omosphere
consists chiefly of hydrogen and an
element known as helium, while
heavier vapors, such as those of
iron calcium, titanium, magnesium,
etc, are sometimes projected into it
from the photosphere. The so called
"prominences" are due to projec-
tons Of hydrogen that are shot up
to enormous attitudes, with veloci-
ties exceeding 149 miles per second.
The name chromosphere is given to
this solar envelope on account of its
beautiful rosy hue. 1t is visible
only during total eclipses of the sun

and is said to have been first noticed
by Father Sacchi during an eclipse.

Il siIk Erom the Cocoon.

In attaining full growth the silk
worm stops feeding and throws out
silken thread. The silk is formed
in a fluid condition and issues from
the body of the worm n glutinous
state, apparently in a single thread
From this silk the worm constructs
its cocoon, an interval of from
three to FIVE days being required to
complete its imprisonment in tho
envelope. In order that the silkcn
strands may not be subjected to the
danger of breakage by the moth
emerging from the cocoon the
cocoons are steamed till the in.
closed insects are dead. After this
the silk may be wound of.
