As the result of Il law passed by
congress last year it will hereafter be
unlawful to offer for sale IN territory
under federal Jurisdiction adulterated
or misbranded Insecticides or to ship
such articles from one state to another.
The act specifically mentions paris
green and arsenate Of lead, the two
chemicals most widely used BY orchard
lists. The new law will be a real boon
to fruit and vegetable growers, as II
will compel manufacturers to properly
label their products aud enable the
purchaser to know exactly what he Is

An extensive hog raiser Of whom we
heard the other day attributes his
freedom from loss by cholera to the
practice he follows of removing well
hogs from any pen or lot in which
sick ones have been noticed rather
than removing and isolating the all
ing ones, practice quite generally
followed. The plan he has adopted
seems to be based on sound principle,
for it means the removal Of uninfect-
ed animals to entirely clean and
wholesome surroundings, where there
could not be any possibility Of con-
tamination from disease germs.

TREADWELL DEPARTS.

Cando-S. U. Treadwell, recently
acquitted in tho district court of
Towner county on the charge Of at
tempting to murder VIM. Bills and
John Diggins has been committed to
the care of relatives residing In Mis-.
souri,. The jury acquitted him on the
plea of temporary insanity.
Treadwell has been, in his day, very
prominent in the political affairs Of
the Second judicial district. He was
one of the early newspaper partners
of former United States Senator H.
G. Hansbrough, coming to this state
as result of Hansbrough's interest In
him. For many years he welded =
big influence in certain features Of the
political world, but during the last
few years he had been losing ground
on that score. The shooting of Bills
and Diggins took place in Rock Lake
restaurant, and was a decidedly ex-
citing affair, both men being injured
in the mixup.

HATS THAT BUTTON IN BACK
Ladies Of Cedar Grove, N. j., Arc
Much Upset by Their Own
Unanlmity-Latest Fad.

Caldwell, N. J.-Hats which button
in the back are the latest fad in wom-
ans headwear in Cedar Grove, near
Caldwell. The style was introduced
by George Henry Smith, better known
as Farmer Smith, who ordered the
town milliner, Miss Flitterby, of Love
Lane, to build hat in special model
of his own design for his wife. Miss
Flitterby thought 80 much of the new
model that she told other customers
about it.
The result was that at least half Of
the women Of Cedar Grove ordered
Miss Flitterby to make them hats Of
the same general model but with vari-
GUS changes to suit individual tastes.
Every women who ordered new head
covering supposed she and Mrs Smith
would be the only ones to introduce
the new style.
All Saints church was crowded the
other Sunday morning, and practically
every woman who attended the serv-
ice wore new hat. The head cover
ings worn were of all shapes. colors
and styles of trimming, but In one
point they were strikingly similar.
Each hat instead of being attached to
the head by combination of long
daggers, was held in place by three
large buttons on the back.
Miss Fqitterby did not go to church
to review her creations collectively,
which, under the circumstances, was
probably the wisest thing for her to
do.

WINE AIDS CHICKENS
Astonishing Result Follows
French Experiment.
Glass Of Win ordlnalre Daily Proves
Great Help to Producing and Bon.
eft to Quailty-kind Of Liquor
10 Not Mentioned.

Paris.-1t would be gliding thrice
refined gold to sing the praises Of
wine in France, but the experiments
conducted by NJ. Joubert. professor OF
agriculture at Fountainebleau, will
cause the poultry keepers Of this ceun-
try to chant anew the virtues Of the
national beverage.
NJ. Joubert, as becomes one hold
ing his Office, Is greatly concerned at
the falling of in the production Of
eggs in France. especially during the
winter months.
Whether it is that the hens have
grown lazy or the early hours they
keep in the cold prevents proper at
tention to business, the fact remains
that the number of eggs laid by
French hens has declined in recent
years, and there is, in consequence.
growing importation of foreign prod
uce.
M. Joubert set himself to remedy
this condition of affairs, and he seems
| to have been successful. Last Octo.
Der he selected a dozen young hens
and divided them into two indiscrim'
mate lots Of six each. Both were fed
on exactly the same diet. but to the
/ feed of one half-dozen there was add
ed a daily ration of glass of wine
per head.
The results were surprising. From
the hens which got no wine M. Jou
bert had in October four eggs. In No
yember one and in December none
and in January %,
The fowls which drank their glass
| of wine daily responded notably te
the stimulant. In October they pro
duced % eggs, in November 81, In De
cember Al and In January 46, so thai
the tepers showed an excess of pro
duction over the teetotalers of IA
eggs
NJ. Joubert, unfortunately, does no
say in his report what sort Of wine h'
t'employed in his experiments If h'
used the best champagne, the cos
would exceed the profit; but if tn
stimulant was the vim ordinaire of tn
country, which can be bought whole
sale for about three half-pence
quart a new and important field o
consumption for that article will b.
opened up, greatly to the relief of tn
wine growers, who have complainet
in recent years Of the decline in tn
sale of their produce.
The administration of wine is sail
to have not only increased the Out
put of eggs. but also to have greatl
improved their quality, fact whic
will prove somewhat disconcerting t
the temperance advocates.

Unborn Generations.

Chicago. Nov. 25.-Voices of men
and women who have figured conspic-
uously in the history of Chicago are
to be preserved to posterity by the
agency of the photograph. It became
known today that the Chicago Histor-
zeal society will make plans with this
end in view at its next meeting. De-
cember 3.
The idea of preserving records of
this nature was suggested by publish
ed accounts of an entertainment given
by the Borrowed Time Club of Oak
Park, all of the members of which
are more than 20 years old. At this
gathering the members listened to
the voices of two men long since dead.
The idea is considered unique from
the standpoint that children yet I'M
born may in after years listen to the
voices of persons who they will have
learned had much to do with the adj
vancement of the city.
More than fifty names have already
been suggested and it is expected
there Will be many more.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Mrs. Louise Yer

opinion of county Jail officials, is de-
