The Ants Of the Himaiayas.

In the Himalayas. Oh the side facing
India. the limit Of perpetual snow is
about $500 feet higher than In the
Alps. One result of this Is that vari-
Gus forms of life are found In the great
Asian mountains at an elevation which
seems extraordinary. Among these are
many species of ants. Up to nearly
10000 feet the ants are very abundant.
and ever at the elevation of 1000 feet
four species have been found, and 1t is
believed that more careful investga-
ton would show that they exist ever
at $4,000 feet or more.

BUILDS MILL ON FARM.

Kingman county possesses at least
0ne farmer who expects to put him
sell beyond the clutches Of the mill
ing trust now in a very short time.
His idea was to build mill Of his
own, and that is the thing he has
done and the mill will be in opera
: ton within a week. The farmer is
e J. F. Wagner, living southeast Of Ca
lista.
However, Mr.. Wagner's idea is
not to buck the Touring mills but to
provide the necessary mill stuffs to
feed his stock at a lower figure that
such feed can regularly be bought.
Mr.. Wagnr is feeding at the present
about 1900 pounds Of bran, shorts,
ETC., per day, so will be i'm position to
consume the entire output of the by
products Of his mill. The flour will be
put ON the local market, and he is
OF the opinion that he will have but
little trouble in disposing of the en-
tine output here in Kingman county,
The capacity Of the mill will be 25
barrels per day.
The mill is remodeled from the Ell
evator formerly used on the farm and
represents an outlay OF about $4,000
in addition to the original cost Of the
elevator and machinery, making the
plant worth somewhere in the neigh
borhood Of $1,000. Mr.. Wagner now
has about 5000 bushels of wheat OF
his own to start with, and he expects
to buy more as needed. The mill viii
be operated by gas engine power and
viii be equipped with stone burns
to make corn meal, graham, etc, and
rollers to produce the flour. But one

brand will bear the name "Up-todate
