over the municipality recent action
in revoking a thirty-year franchise
which it had granted to the appel

the grant tended to create a monof-

the city council had declared, and
the higher court in its opinion Sat

A Buried Talent.

Buffalo Journal The Wadena
Journal reports that the scarcity of
eggs there required the shipment of
storage eggs from the city to supply
the local demand. Rice & Blada re-
ceived several cases. and in one found
an egg marked "F. w. Rice, Wadena,
July 2, 1901" a brother of MIR. Rice
Of the farm. The egg was sent to
the city ten years ago by the firm and
bought back recently. The moral
of this story is not only the age of
fresh eggs ten years old for breakfast,
but think of the waste resulting from
burying an egg so long. Had the
egg been used for its intended pur-
pose of reproduction it would have
been chicken in 1901 and in 1902
would have Matched at least ten chick
ems which grew to maturity. In 1903
this hen and the ten she hatched-to
make the figures accurate it must be
assumed that all the broods were hens
each raised brood of ten hens,
and their progeny did likewise until
the year 1911. By this calculation
we find the defendants of the storage
egg should now number 2, 357. 974, ,691
chickens, besides the billions of eggs
laid which were not hatched. If all
the eggs laid had been hatched by in
cubaters there should have been-The
problem is too big. Let George do it.

Tipped Over.

Cyrus Citizen Eight or nine Cryu:
ladies had occasion on last Thursday
afternoon to note how deep the snow
was. 1t happened thusly: the Synod
Ladies' Aid was entertained that af.
ternoon by Mrs. Ole Solve, south OF
town. The Cryus members of the
Aid were anxious to attend, aitho the
snow was falling thickly and the
weather was quite stormy. The ladies
requested P. y. Jacobson to convey
them to the place, but he said: "Let
George do it," and George Jorgenson
did do it. He got the team ready
and all the ladies got in the sleigh,
seating themselves along one side
with their backs to the wind. When
they had reached Ole Solves farm
they came to a deep drift and the
heavy side of the sleigh cut thru and
the rig capsized. landing the ladies
head foremost in the big, soft drift.
There was at once a scramble to re-
cover themselves, but the more they
struggled, the deeper they became
imbedded, all that was visible above
the snow was hands and feet. The
driver was 80 overcome with the
humor of it all that he was helpless
to render assistance, but Mr.. Solve
and Ed. Bingam ran to their assistance
and soon succeeded in extracting
them from the snow bank, helped them
to the house. All the ladies, how
ever, took the mishap good naturedly,
but they have been little suspicious
Of their driver and it probably will
be a long time before he has another
opportunity to give them a sleigh
ride. We would have had a cartoon
made of the incident. but one of the
ladies threatened to put US out of
business should any reproduction ap-
pear in this paper and the only thing
we fear in this world is threat that
comes from lady.

The Draft Horse.

The breeding of draft horses has
come to be very profitable adjunct
to diversified farming, and at no time
during the last fifteen or twenty years
has the price been higher for good
draft and heavy farm horses. While
the automobile may, to certain ex-
tent. have replaced the horse for city
delivery, still the bulk of the farm
work is done with horses; and prices
for good stock are as high or higher
than ever. There is not the demand
for medium quality and lightweight
horses that there used to be, but good
smooth draft, and heavy farm horses
are bringing good prices. There is
little reason why the farmer should
not continue to raise horses of this
kind, since brood-mares-and STALL
ions, too. for that matter-will pro-
duce stronger and better colts for
having been kept steadily at work on
the farm.
On the home farm we have raised
some of the cleanest, best colts, and
worked the mares right, along. There
are certain conditions under which it
does not seem to be practical to put
the breeding stock into harness, but
on many farms these conditions are
not met. Where farmer must rely
almost wholly on hired help to drive
his teams. it may not be practicable
to put pure-bred stock into harness.
If the farm boy shows an interest in
horses, raise some good drafters. Put
good harness on them, and tell the
boy this is his team to work. and
there will be no question about the
care they will get. You will find the
boy, after days work, out currying
off the horses. making sure they are
comfortable. Ispeak from experience
and know that when these horses are
offered for sale they will bring a good
price. Geo. P. Grout.
