Petrifaction.

,sPetrifaction, sometimes called fos.
silizatfon, is a. process Of turning. to
stone by chemical appropriation or alb
sorption Of certain mineral elements
chiefly silica, hinty substance. like
pulverized quarts Just how leaves.
branches Of trees, etc.. absorb and ap-
propriate silica to such an extent as
to convert them into stone cannot be
explained, but they do. Some springs
and some streams contain SO much
silica that branches of trees and other
vegetable matter lying for a length Of
time in the water become so impreg.
mated with silica that they are con.
yerted into stone. The .petrification
of human body, shut off from con.
tact with water or earth, would be
more difficult to explain, and we doubt
II there is an authenticated case of
the kind. A great many vegetable
fossils or petrifactions have been
found, but we think no animal petri-

A recent English book about Mar

out some interesting facts. Z! ..@..:, :
This Frenchman was really q Ger
man. He was born 1T Saariouis, now

child. He was red-haired, with Z
wide face, and round blue eyes. Five

was equivalent to Carrots or brick

Waterloo. So was Napoleon. So was
Wellington. ~ sG@. +.
Michel Ney was man who was
trained up to the hardships of work
mans life. His father was cooper,
and in his boyhood work in his IA

toll and exposure. This enabled him
to sleep placidly in the snow on the

won't be enough?"

Courage, Mr.. Wilson

Newspapers report that privileged
business, distributed by Mr. Wilson's
insistence upon calling a spade a
spade, is now holding solemn con-
ferences with itself as to the advisa-
bility of "throwing a scare" into
Wilson. The recent utterances of
the president-elect indicate that he
is not to be frightened by the growls
of Wall street. But were he inclin-
ed to lose his nerve at the threat of
another financial panic. let him re-
member that the people this wide
country over are now wise to the
game Of the speculative bankers and
the gambling promoters. They will
not be stampeded. They understand
the situation. They will support
Wilson if he defies the money pow
er; but they will surely condemn him
if he falters or yields. The people
have a right to look upon the pres
ident as their strong arm. 1t may be
welded vigorously in protecting the
body-politic; or it may be permitted
to dangle inertly while privilege
makes Off with the peoples dearest
possessions. May Wilson use it
with unflagging determination to
drive the oligarchy of greed out of
the temples of honest business and
honest government; and may it
grow in strength and efficiency in
such service.~--La Fol1ette's Weekly.

The Voice Of Experience.

The farmers who attended the
sheep meeting here yesterday were
given the results of some costly ex-
periences. It is not an easy thing
to go into the live stock business and
the man who wishes to succeed must
proceed carefully and plan his every
step in advance.
1t had been the common expert
ence of the men who talked yester-
day that too many head at the start
meant financial ruin. To the farmer
who expects to pay for his stock out
of the proceeds Of what they make,
they offered but one bit of advice
go slow. It was the farmers who
went in too deep at the start, they
said, who made a failure of the live
stock business. /.
For the farmer of limited means,
and most of the farmers of Northern
Minnesota are of that class, the con-
sensus of expert opinion is that it is
best for him to start with few head
of the cattle, sheep, hogs or horses he
intends to raise and to add to the
size of his herd as his means warrant
the expansion. Get good grade in
'dividuals at the start. Mate them to
a pure bred male and at the end of
four or five years the herd will con-
sist of individuals which will yield a
much larger return than the parent
stock. - 49, IL - ...sss. 3 &.
One point was brought out yester-
day that seems to cover the local
situation. A man cannot go into
good animal country and buy the
best, for the price is prohibitive. The
buyer who gets reasonable price
may be assured that the animal is not
the best in it's class. But the advice
is to secure such second rate animals
and by means of pure bred males,
breed up the stock.
The eyes Of the live stock world
are on this section of Minnesota.
The natural grasses which grow here
in such great abundance make It the
natural feeding ground for Thousands
