Man is not the only animal who has discovered the division of the vegs- table world into weeds on the one hand and garden plants on the other Our ingenious little six-legged worh CTS, the ants, have anticipated us ia this. as in so many other useful in- ventions and discoveries. There are ants in Texss which grow grain. and each nest owns 8 small claim in the vicinity of its mound on which # cul- tivates kind Of grass. commonly known as ant rice.
 The claim is circular. about ten or twelve feet in diameter, and the ants allow no plant but the ant rice to en- croach upon the cleared space any where.
 The produce of the crop they care fully harvest. though authorities are still disagreed upon the final question whether they plant the grain or mere ly allow 1t to SOW its own seed on the protected area.
 One thing. however. is certain. that no other plant is permitted to sprout on the tabooed patch The ants wage war on weeds far more vigorously and effectively than our own axrtcultnristA

miles. Freight service by teams from
the same point. An auto truck line
has been organized to give daily pas
senger and freight service from Blyth

Blythe a distance of AZ miles. The
prospects of a branch line from the
Southern Pacific railroad or the
Santa Fe railroad is very remote as
long as We do not have adequate pro-
lection from the flood waters of the
Colorado river.
The annual value of the crops rails

fully developed will average at least
$40 per acre or a sum in excess of
$3,000,000. The land will present a
value of more than 100000 The

increase to IS, 900 when the period of

CHORES EOR The BOY.

The great loss of city boys Is the
loss of duties Their sphere has beer
curtailed tremendously by the draw
ing of the city limit lines. When the
boy lived on the farm or in the small
town, he found plenty of things to do,
which were sport in the doing and
only incidentally work, says the ST.
Paul Dispatch. He went abroad on
on the way he found rich treasure
which he brought back with him, and
stored up for a lifetime's use. Did
he go after the evening cattle, he left
the soft earth move up between his
happy toes and experienced a sensa
ton OF the composition, yes, and the
poetry of the soil which the city boy
can never know, however much he
baros feet to the asphalt Every turn
he made in his chores, in wood or
field, in barnyard or stable, he found
something to make it pleasure-were
1t only the exercise of muscles The
country boy had his limitations, no
doubt. The city boy has his advan-
tages, If he only knew how to take
them. He has vastly more material
in hand out of which to stimulate his
imagination, to quicken his intelli-
gence-if only he could retain, or his
parents retain for him, some of the
duties of old, some of the chores
which would give ballast to his life.
This may be the day of the division
of labor" and the hired man of the
furnace and the lawn may perhaps do
his work more steadily and more ex-
plicitly than the boy of the house. But
the boy should be considered in this
division, and parents should not make
tier lives so easy that they rob him
of doing his immemorial chores.

Under an order issued by the Ari-
IONA corporation commission all the
railroads of the state are exempted
from the operations of the three
cent fare law, until the corporation
commission has itself thoroughly in
vestigated the situation and found
out whether or not the proposed
rate is just and reasonable. Under
the order however, all the railroads
are required to file with the COM
mission affidavits and documentary
evidence. calculated to show that the
fulfillment of the provisions of the
law at this time will work hardship
upon the company, and that it cannot
earn a just and reasonable compen-
sation hereunder.

At meeting of the Linnean soci
ETY. of London, Prof. Poulton presid
ing, letter was read from Herr Paul
Scherdlin, as follows: For hundreds
OF years pigeons have nestled on the
spire of StrAssburg Cathedral. They
increased so much that many attempts
have been made to extirpate them,
but in vain. During the last few years
there has been a sudden and startling
diminution in the number of these ca
thedral pigeons. am of the opin-
ion that this manifest reduction is
due to the asphalting of the streets
round the cathedral Between the
stone sets of the pavement the pig
cons were able to pick up food in
quantity. In consequence of the as
phalting and daily watering and
cleansing of the places in the imme
date neighborhood the birds have

GREAT COPPER RESERVE.

The copper industry in the United
States has shown notable growth
In 1S45, when important production
of copper in this country practically
tegan, the output was but 224,0OO
pounds, but it increased 100 per cent
the following year and gained by
rapid strides until 1850, when the
production was 1,456,000 pounds. In
1870 it was 2S,224 600 pounds; in 1890
it was 259, 1853, 092 pounds; in 1900 it
had increased to 606, III ,166 pounds;
in 1909 it passed the billion mark
with 1902, 951 1924 pounds; and in 1911
it exceeded all previous records with
a production of 1897 ,232,749 pounds
The worlds production in 1911 was
1858, POI, 25S pounds, Of which Sc per
cent was the output of the United
States
1t is noteworthy that, unlike areas
producing most other metals, not
