The above figures are given as the
hest approximation O~btainable at this
time and subject to slight revision.
Agriculture.
Agriculture as II chief industry
and naturally Jared best and
the legislation directly affecting it
was considerable. Beside the ample
provision for the agricultural college,
bills were passed providing for a sys-
tenn of demonstration farms on a basis
that will permit every county to have
one or more. The Chicago and North
western railroad has already an
nounced that under the provisions OF
this act it will make a vigorous earn
paign for the establishment OF at
least one demonstration farm IN every
county through which its lines pass.
Experimental farms were established
at Vivian, Lyman county, and In Fall
River county. the latter to be an ex-
pertinent station in dry farming meth.

There was a good deal of interest
in matters pertaining to insurance af-
fairs and perhaps a couple of dozen OF
bills aimed at some feature of the
business. New provisions We're made
for the incorporation of county mutual
companies. changing the date of cleo.
tons therein from January to July;
allowing them to insure against cy-
clones and requiring them to publish

companies are mulct in 10 per cent

vide insurance for their own members

Banks and Banking.

There was a general revision of the
banking laws and other bills provided
fees required for the examination of
loan and trust companies and defining
the duties Of bank directors. Officers
Of banks who are notaries public are
permitted to take acknowledgements
and administer oaths in the affairs Of
the bank and there is a further pro-

Publicity Acts.

Hereafter insurance statements
must be distributed equally to all
newspapers. This has hitherto been
a piece of political patronage and only
favored newspapers secured the adj
vertising. The earnings and expenses
of poor farms must be hereafter pub
lished in the official papers and the
secretary of state must give publicity
to emergency acts by supplying copies
of them within three days to all of
the courts. The Office of immigration
commissioner was created and
equipped with S17,500 for the first two
years.

CORDED A CROCODILE.
Turning a Greedy Water Devil Into Q
Irussad LIN Mummy. I

Turning a Greedy Water Devil Into q
Trussed Up Mummy. {
1t is known that Il crocodile will
sometimes leave a river stocked with
food. explore for miles an unsuitable
tributary. then wander inland until it
finds q pool.
In this way three crocodiles once
found their way to TAPPING lake. In
the Malay peninsula. SO long as they
confined their attention to the fish and
an occasional duck no one objected to
their presence. but when one of them
began to take sheep of the bank as
they came down to drink it was felt
that the saurians ought to be exter-
minated. and al Englishman and his
servant made the attempt.
Obtaining a dugout, they padded
into deep water. The ervant was
already barefoot, and the Englishman
himself took off shoes and stockings,
SO that his bare feet might have as
good a hold IS possible on the smooth
bottom Of the canoe. A bait was at
tached to a heavy rattan, and soon a
tug and a plunge indicated that the
crocodile was fast to one end. I'm
mediately the n began to move
through the water. After a protracted
struggle the Englishman managed to
get the crocodile within a few yards
of the canoe. At one moment the open
jaws would surge out Of the broken
water and snap together in unpleasant
proximity to the mems legs; the next
moment the heavy tail would swing
free Of the water and with the weight
Of a falling pole would hit the side of
the canoe a blow that made it shiver.
As the crocodile surged close to the
canoe and the open mouth appeared
above the water the servant slipped a
moose of stout cord over the upper jaw
and pulled it tight some six inches be-
hind the point Of its nostrils. Then.
with a quick turn of his wrist. he slip
ped the slack Of the cord round under
the lower jaw. He drew the cord
tight, and the teeth Of each jaw press
ed home into the sockets of the other.
The servant now grasped the point of
the long. narrow head with one hand
and with the other rapidly wound the
cord round the clinched mouth.
Another moose was slipped over a
fore leg. 1t pulled the leg up to the
animals side. The servant slipped the
line over the creatures back and
caught up the other fore leg. Then he
noosed and tied together the hind legs.
The effect he had achieved was Won
derful. In a few minutes he had
transformed a ravening water devil
into a trussed up mummy, and his only
weapon had been three pieces Of box
cord.
The beast was afterward dispatched,
and the servant received the govern
ment reward.-Harper's Weekly.
