So these insurgents and the Democrat
fc congressman united to take the speak
er himself from the committee on rules
and gave him sore chastisement for his
tyranny.
No speaker was ever so Inundated by
members of his own party or by members
of any other party. A speaker is sup
posed to be a fair man, put in high POSI-
ton to maintain order and to deal justly
in the matter of recognizing each person
who, may desire to express his opinions
on matters before congress. but Mr. Can
non recognized nobody, either Democrat
or Republican, who might antagonize the
high tariff rates that he and his col
leagues in this matter had decided 30
hold them down or keep them off the sub
ject, and he, with his favored ones, who
were the majority on this small commit
tee on rules. planned and managed SO
that all legislation was absolutely in their
grasp and they had no privileges to vote
down what their constituents had declar-
ed against, or to pass any measure which
they themselves had faithfully promised
should be advocated when they were cam
didates for congressional honors.
There was. therefore, nothing left for
them but to take the speaker off the
committee on rules and shear him Of the
authority which he had usurped.
If they will stand firmly by their pur-
pose, they will have been excellent legis-
lators and accomplished a mighty work
of reform. 1t is a split in the party and
the party lash is a dreadful thing TO en-
counter, but every taxpayer in the United
States who has been ridden down by
such tyrants should make their approval
known in the plainest possible way when
another election day comes.

Protect the Pastures

Protect the pastures, which should be feat
ure Of considerable Importance on any farm.
Do not turn cut the stock after a heavy rain
when the ground has been saturated with
water that the feet Of the animals would break
through. This condition, however, exists only
in the spring while the ground is still soft
from the effects OF the escaping frost. Later
In the season when the grass has made a mat
OF roots and leaves the rain will not generally
soften the ground enough 10 make 1t subject to
trampling that will injure II.
1t is very easy matter 10 protect the pas
lures IL the sod is not permitted TO become thin.
That is when it breaks easily and allows the
hoofs or feet of the animals to pack the mud
hard each time they step. Such pastures are
those that are overstocked. II you do not
overstock, the grass has a chance to develop
TO the point where 1t win not permit the sod to
be broken. Both the grass and the roots help
to make up the cushion that resists.
Feed cattle all you can afford to during the
time they are at pasture, that helps to keep
the pastures in good condition. When the pas
lures get short in the summer feed oil
meal, besides some green food, such
stalks. The meal especially benefits the pas
lures in the droppings of cattle.

Found A Buried Town

Every once in a while excavation in southern
Arizona results in the discovery Of a buried
village. The most recent discovery Of this kind
was made by Frank c. Erwin at his home, IA
miles from Cochise.
Three miles from his ranch Erwin started to
dig an irrigation ditch. Only few feet under
the surface he began to uncover utensils OF a
shape and material which indicated that they
had been used by a probably as old as the
CIbola. that strange people whose Seven Fa-
nous Cities was the lure that brought Father
Mia and the negro Estevanicio from the Span
ish mission at Culiacan north along the Sonora
river to the old city Of Tabac near Tucson,
which expedition was the beginnin Of civilization
in Arizona.
After digging deeper Erwin came across a
wall. which he followed for 20 feet. Further in
vestigation brought to light hundreds of bones
well preserved, ons skeleton being intact When
an attempt was made to take mp the skeleton il
fell to pieces. Among the treasures unearthed
was a slab on which were written curious fig
urcs representing and birds and animals.

Water for Ducks

One of the greatest fallacies in poultry rails.
ing, is that ducks must be water to be
raised successfully. Even poultrymen, who
happen to be more familiar with chickens then
they are with ducks and geese, frequently
stumble into this error.
poultry writer told me not long ago that
ducks are best raised near stream but that
he had known. Of them being quite success
fully raised without a stream"
Surprised at a remark that appealed TO me
as being absurd, asked with assumed inno-
cence:
what do they need a stream or a pond forT'
He couldn't answer and in fact ne had
made the same mistake Of supposing that be-
cause they supplied by nature vita web
feet that they must have a body Of water to
live in.
As a matter Of fact there are hundreds Of
duck farms and thousands Of ducks to which
stream or a pond is unknown Ducks when
well fed on land will not go near water unless
IL is very convenient to them. Ducks live on
fish and water insects and this is their reason
for spending a share of their time on the
water In fact wild ducks get the bulk OF
their meat food in the water. II Is true that
they are especially adapted by nature for the
water but IT is only so that they can hunt for
certain kinds Of food. They are one OF the
bipeds which have held on to certain amphi-
bious habits which date back for millions or
years. to a time, perhaps. when the whale
spent part ,of his time on land in search OF
food-Chas. c. WentZler.

Symptoms of Lice

All hens that show evidences Of poor condi-
tion should be examined for lice. The presence
OF Vermtn may be noted by finding the lice
themselves; egg clusters, commonly called
.nits," or smaG sore spots upon the body OF
the fowl. The best regions of the fowl to ex-
anime FOR lice are just below the vent, on the
top of the head, and along the quill feathers
beneath the wings. Each locality is usually In
rested by separate species. The common lice
are found most plentifully below the vent To
detect the lice, grasp the fowl firmly by the
legs in one hand and part the feathers below
the vent quickly with the other. II lice are
present they viii be seen scurrying out Of the
ers.
The clusters Of eggs or ''nits' will also be
found attached to the quilts and fluff OF the
downy feathers in this region.
The feet Of lice have very sharp claws which
may irritate the skin that a flow of blood
ana lymph may be started, and although lice
cannot suck blood they can eat that which
comes 10 the surface. These irritated AREAS may
be found beneath the feathers on the lower
part OF the body. They have the appearance of
yellowtsh scabs. But little blood, il any, IL
present This absence of blood indicates that
the cuts were not deep, but caused by slight
scratches

sounding of senseless alarms, and that

danger by which we are threatened. 1t
said:
"A system of giving which has its own
rules and customs, which is governed by
principles of selection laid down in the
beginning, which ramifies throughout
the country and embraces especially
those smaller institutions that are ham,
pered by narrow means, is an infinitely
more powerful force in the shaping of
op---lon than any single capital who
makes separate and often unconditional
gifts to be controlled and invested by the
institutions themselves would ever be. AS
a mechanism for controlling academic
opinion, there has perhaps never been
anything in the history Of education that
would compare with the board system Of
substituting learning"
What shall be done about the matter?
Can we forbid men to endow such
boards? Perhaps not; at any rate, we
have not done so; these boards have
already federal charters.
But two things can be done, and should
be done.
% Philanthropists can endow and
equip other institutions than the board
fed colleges, and thereby they can en-
able a great number of independent in
situations to defy the syndicated schools
and their trust patrons. This can be
and ought to be done. Had l millions to
give away 1 would not give a penny to
one Of the Cosset colleges, drawing its
sustenance from the bottles of these
boards.
CD Our colleges can refuse to be
brought under obligation to these
boards This is a safe rule, even though
these Foundations were far more free
from reasonable grounds to suspect them
than they are. 1t is never safe for the
center of gravity of an educational in
stitution to be shifted from its own
board of control to some outside and
alien corporation. When the board OF
trustees of a college begins to lean upon
some other board, it begins to bargain
away its freedom of action, and in the
end it becomes a subject and servile
body
1t will be a bad day for our country
when any considerable number of our
colleges shall have become subject to the
Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations.
None of them can afford to sell them
selves into such bondage. In the final
accounting, any, who do thus exchange
freedom for funds, will find that the
transaction costs more than it comes to.

The Horse Still TriumphS
London Chronicle.


In spite Of motors and motor omnibuses and
all kinds of mechanical traffic, the horse seems
to persist and triumph You would think he
would be ousted by the boot and smell Of the
motor. Not a bit. From a fashion paper one
gathers that there are more people riding than
ever. And the coming horse show at Olympia,
with its promised decorations and enormous
expenditure, means that the horse Is still
popular animal on which to jog, jump or trot to
health and comfort The horse-in the near fu-
ture-should be, not food, but a tonic. We
shall not eat horses, or drive behind them. We
shall ride on them. And not in the streets. The
horse, one foresees hopefully, will be turned off
the streets where he is rather nuisance and
sent to the park. or Wimbledon Common, or any
open space. There he will be tonic. You can
imagine no better tonic than a clean gallop
across an open space. But as daily food in mid
London there should be more horses for the
eater and the traveller.

Blooms Travelled Far.

Sitting in his library in London, one
day recently, Joseph Chamberlain was
presented with bouquet of strange
but beautiful blooms. Picked over H.
900 miles away, they had travelled half
round the globe before reaching the
politician in his home. With Sir Ger
aid Strickland, governor Of Western
Australia, lies the credit Of the charm
ing idea of sending this bouquet from
far-off land. He and Mr. Chamber
lain had exchanged letters. Sir Ger
aid had eulogized the brilliant color
ings of the flowers of Western Austria

collection Of blooms to Mr.. Cham
berlain SO that he might inspect them
at his leisure and contrast their bril-
lance with the December gloom with

into the heart of blocks of ice and
packed in special case, and depos-
tied in the hold of the steamship
