Not Robins At All.

Now comes an authority on birds,
and declares that the birds we have
been calling robins, such as those
seen near the Blain bridg in Plym-
outh, are not robins at all, but are
a species of Canadian grouse. 1t
has been stated in some of the ac-
counts given of these birds, that
they were not just like our summer
robins and this bird man confirms
that statement by calling attention
to the difference In the color of the
breast of the two birds. Besides
these birds are not so large as our
robins. Another thing is the beak.
The beak of this winter bird is
much longer, and is used by the
birds in digging in the snow and ice
for the berries and seeds on which
they live. It is pointed out that
the beak of our ordinary robin is
short and not so sharp. Again
the habits of the. birds are different.
Our summer robins 60 in pairs, but
never In focks, while these birds are
seen in quite large companies, and
hover together. The scientific bird
student has many other differences
to note, but these are the principal
points of varianc. 1t is also point
ed out that our summer robin could
not live in zero weather, while these
new corners seem to enjoy the cold,
and are as happy as any birds to be
seen anywhere.
Ordinary people who cannot see
great deal of difference will still
believe that they see some sort of
bird that is much like a robin,
and will continue to feed him and
enjoy his hopping aboue tand chatter
ing as he plumes himself in the
sunny nook where he makes his
home while with us.

The advocates of the incubation

advocating the passage of law

posed would be a good thing.
Teams Standing On Streets.
On Friday, January II, while the
Mayor was busy with the snow
shovelling business, another ques-
ton was sprung. A certain man
living short distance in the coun-
try, drove to town with a big
wagon, and loaded on load of
manure to be used as fertilizer on
his farm. Being in no great hurry,
he decided to rest awhile after
loading his wagon, and at 1890
hitehed his horses to post in front
of Fuller's store. He did not think
best to blanket the horses, but left
them uncovered in the biting cold,
without food or water, or shelter of
any sort, until late in the after
noon, as it was getting dark. Some
people, who have business near
there, complained that the load of
manure standing there all day was
an unsightly and disease-breeding
nuisance, and on that ground the
owner should be compelled to remove
it. They claim that the hitching of
a team with such load to stand any
length of time in such a public
place, is wrong, and should be
stopped. Again there is the human
side of the question. A man who will
leave his team to suffer in the
cold, hungry and unblanketed, while
he is inside cigar store playing
cards and loafing his time away,
should be made to stop doing so. If
he must and will spend his time in
such way, then he should be COM
PEELED to place his team in COM
Portable stable, and remove his load
of foul smelling and unsightly
manure to a more retired spot. Per-
haps the Mayor will look after such
matters more closely if his attention
is called to a repetition of the cir
cumstance.

IT IS CHEAP REMEDY
Much Corn is Being Hauled in and
and Sold, and Long Strings Of
Teams Stand in Line 1t
the Elevator.

Just look at the corn. DID you
ever see so much corn coming In
as at the present time? l did not
suppose there was so much corn rails
ed In the county The crop this year
must have been enormous, much larg-
er than for years. Not for years,
and really never, have so many loads
Of corn been seen waiting a turn at
the elevator to unload as have been
seen the past few months. Every
day it Is the same, and there seems
no end of it
Such remarks are heard In the
neighborhood of the elevator of Mil
ner & CRUDE on the Lake Erie &
Western railroad. What does it in
dicatef 1t has been the policy of
farmers in this section to feed their
corn to hogs. Little corn compare
lively was brought to market and
sold as it was worth more to feed
to stock than to sell. The meaning
of the unusual amounG of cor being
marketed now Is plain. Cholera has
been playing havoc with the herds
of hogs, and thousands of them
have died in Marshall county, and
the same has been true In other sec
tiOns, for reports are general that
the hogs have suffered much from
this cause. In some instances near
Plymouth, practically the entire herd
of hogs will die In a few days. One
man had thirty-two, and thirty died.
The way the hogs are first taken
with the disease, they refuse to eat.
They will apparently be all right in
the evening, but the next morning
do not eat, but appear to be dull
and sluggish, moping around in 4
stupid manner They get weaker,
and after a few days die.
We have the situation summed up
by one man who expressed it in
single statement. The corn being
hauled In indicates a good corn
crop, but a poor hog crop. No farm
er will haul all his corn off the farm
unless he is compelled to do so, and
failure in hogs is the compelling
force this year.
An active controversy has been
started among live stock experts In
Indiana over methods for fighting
hog cholera, which is recognized as
one of the worst pests the farmer
has to deal with, as it is estimated
that the cholera sometimes destroys
millions of dollars worth of hogs
In this state in a years time.
DIR. Verne E. Baldwin, of Amboy,
Ind, who has been visiting friends
in Indianapolis, says he has discover
ed a method for making hogs i'm
mune by means of a medicine ad-
ministered through the mouth in
tablet FORM This has aroused to
activity the veterinary surgeons of
the state, who of late have made q
large income from their services in
inoculating hogs with cholera serum.
Up to a short time ago the only sue
cessful system of protecting hogs
from cholera was by the serum
method, which costs from 80 cents
to IS cents hog.
Tested on Many Hogs.
DR.. Baldwin says he has been
working on his new method of i'm
munizing hogs for several years, and
now feels confident it is successful
as it has been tried on several
thousand hogs. He has been assist
ed in his researche bv his brothers.

The contract was practically COM
pleted last week. First Assistant
Secretary E. c. Finney, after franz
ing up the document, submitted 1t to
the department of justice for the ap-
proval of the attorney general. This
was secured last Friday from General
Wickersham and the approved con-
tract was laid on President Taft's ta-
BILE Saturday. The President was
about to start on his Ohio campaign
ing tour and he promised that he
would act on the proposition either
before or after he went to Ohio. He
returned last night. and before mid
night issued the order which valves

1t was The Sentinel that gave to
the people of the city and valley the
first announcements of the two big
gest happenings effecting this city
and county and its interests. that
have occurred I'm many, many years.
The news conveyed by The Senti-
nel's bulletins on the high line canal
order spread rapidly throughout the
city and valley, Sentinel bulletins he
ing posted in other towns in the val
ley.
The Sentinel had bulletins up be-
tore % o'clock this morning, and no
other paper attempted to post any
bulletins, as they knew nothing Of
the big happenings until they were
told of the Sentinel bulletins.
Then came the news OF the freight
rate decision, received first in this
city by The Sentinel and promptly
bulletined.
No other paper in the city received
information during the day concern
ing the two greatest items effecting
the Grand valley and this city that

The direct complaint of the cham

the statement that its charges and
complaints cover the same ground
as the carriers application under the

violation of the fourth section, it is
sufficient to deal with the railroad

The commission holds that the ad-
ditional cost of service over the
lines of the Denver & Rio Grande

far outweigh the additional distance
to Salt Lake that a higher rate could
properly be established from these
