In the discussion of ways and means
of exterminating the fly, the festive
mosquito should not be entirely for
gotten. While not as dangerous to
health as the microbe distributing fly,
this bloodthirsty night marauder has a
propensity for making life disagreeable
and methods of reducing the number
are worthy of consideration. Mos
quitoes breed in stagnant water, which
makes their control easier than that of
the fly. In country that is as well
drained as this there is little excuse
for having any considerable amount of
stagnant water, and what does exist
can be easily made uninhabitable by
the mosquito. A small amount of
kerosene poured on the surface of
water prevents its use as mosquito
breeding place. The embryo mos
quitoes, or "wigglers," must come to
the surface to breathe, and their air
supply is cut off by an oiled surface.
In this connection, wouldn't it be a
proper expenditure of the city funds to
oil Corbett's lake and the few stagnant
pools in the vicinity?

Congress in the Sherman antitrust
law declared all combinations which
had for their object the fixing of
prices, the limitation of production or
any other restraint of trade to be un-
lawful. The supreme court, in its de-
cisions in the Standard Oil and To-
bacco Trust cases, holds that Congress
did not mean what it said in the Sher-
man law, that it meant only to prohibit
unreasonable" combinations, in other
words, to prohibit bad trusts but to
allow good trusts.
Doubtless, great many will agree
with the supreme court that it is inn
practical and improper to prohibit all
combinations in restraint of trade, but
that is phase of the matter which the
court had no right to pass upon. Con-
gress is the constitutional law making
body, and the courts have jurisdiction
only to interpret the law. In the re-
cent decisions the court usurped pow
er of Congress, violating the constitu-
ton. With supreme court, the men,
bers of which hold office for life, thus
openly and fagrantly overriding the
efforts of Congress to curb the trusts,
the outlook is not encouraging.

A recent act defines the liability OF
railroads for fires caused by their en-
gines or by burning of grass or rubbish
on their right of way. The railroad
company is made absolutely liable in
such cases, it not being necessary to
prove negligence. If the company fails
to settle within sixty days after writ
ten notice, it is liable for double dam
ages. The object of the latter provi-
sion evidently is to correct the habit
most railroad companies have of wear
ing small claimants out with delay.
Many persons having small claims
against railroads, and other large cor
porations as well, after tedious cores
pondence and delay, abondon them rath-
er than go to the expense of litigation.
The penal clause will make an incentive
to settle honest claims without unrea-
sonable delay.

CHICKENS ON RANGE
YIELD GREATER PROFIT

AiA1hO EK FNOf-I1
THE average farmer who keeps a
few hens makes a decided mistake dur
ing the summer time in yarding his
chickens too close to the farm build
ings instead of letting them run free on
the range" says Prof. j. G. Halpin,
head of the poultry department of the
College of Agriculture Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. 1.-THE objections to
yarding the flock on limited acre are
that the ground becomes contaminated
and diseased from the accumulation of
the droppings, and also on account of
the great scarcity of insect life near
the buildings. Practical experiments
have proved that the expense for feed
bills may be reduced fully so per cent,
where the chickens are allowed free
access to the range, rather than being
yarded.
ION the range, especially where the
soil has been cultivated and is free
from disease, where there is plenty
of insect life and sufficient feed, the
flock will prosper. Many farmers
have small special yards in which they
raise chickens year after year. The
ground is never plowed; in time it be-
comes contaminated and may result in
the infection of the entire flock with
some bacterial disease. Although the
small yard is advisable for young
chicks, as soon as they attain some
size they should be moved out onto the
open range; their yard should be plowed
and sowed to some crop such as buck
wheat in order that any possibility of
the soil becoming contaminated may
be controlled. The preferable time to
move the flock out to the range is dur
ing late May and early June.
Another important principle to OBJ
serve in the care Of the farm flock, ;"
continued Prof. Halpin, is to protect
late Matched chickens from extremely
strong sunlight The hen and the
chicks or the brooder should be placed
in the shade of tree or else some
artificial shade should be provided.
An old door fastened upon four stakes
two feet above the ground on the
north side and one foot high on the
south, affords an inexpensive protec-
ton for the Young chicks from the ex
IRENE heat. If desired heavy cloth
or some old canvas can be tackled on
the stakes in the place Of the door.
The main thing is to control the large
losses of late Matched chickens result
ing from exposure to extreme sun
light"

Each legislature seems to feel it to
be it's duty to show it's interest in edu-
cation by adding new features to the
already crowded curriculum. A recent
law requires schools of all Incorporated
cities to give physical education, de-
fined as instruction in the theory and
practice in the art of physical exer-
else, and instruction in hygiene. "
Presumably base ball, football and
other atheletic games will be included.
Whether the bLck-saw, grub-hoe and
lawn-mower will find places on the
program remains to be seen.
