ed from one of the engines of the
Duluth and Iron Range Railroad
company during June IL, 1910, ac-
cording to suit begun by him in
district court.
The fire also destroyed $1,000
worth of standing timber on the
adjoining land of Jacob Lamp,
who has assigned his claim to
Nickson. The latter demands
judgment for 81 900.
Engine sparks fell into dry grass
along the right of way and, famed
by stiff breeze, the entire neigh
borhood was swept by fire which
lasted several weeks, according to
the complaint. Nickson's property
is in section 4, township 61-12.
This suit is the outcome of the
fire of 1910 which started at EN-
barras and only stopped when
White Iron Lake was reached.

STATE LOSES
Gross Earnings Of Railroads Fall
Short

A decrease of sc, 445, 2SO. 40 in
gross earnings for the first six
months of 1914 from the gross
earnings for the same period of
1913, is shown by railroads report
ing to the Minnesota Tax commits
sion on their earnings in the state.
The thirty-six roads that have
reported to the commission show a
total of $43,OS1 ,O35.92 in gross
earnings for the first six months
of this year, as compared to total
gross earnings of $40, 527, 1862,
for the first half of 1918.
They will pay per cent tax
to the state, which, for all roads,
amounts to 81, 154,9O6.75. This is
a decrease in the states revenue
of 1922. 264.O7 from the first half
of 1913 when the taxes totaled So, :
476, 36O.S2.
A marked falling off of gross
earnings is noted in the reports of
those railroads serving the Iron
Range country. Light ore ship
ments are said to be the cause.
Two big ore hauling roads, the
Duluth & Iron Range and the Du-
luth, Missabe & Northern, show
large decreases from their earnings
for the first half of 1913. The Du-
luth & Iron Range realized ST.
597 1881 for the first half of 1913
as against $1.175275.O2 for the
corresponding period this year; a
decrease of 1922, 1879. or 31.o5
per cent.
The Duluth, Mesabe & Northern
earned 81 .S11, 4O2.71 for the first
half of 1914 and So, 218,137 90 for
the first six months of 1913. The
decrease is 81 400, 734.S9, or 43.68
per cent.
The Great Northern, another
large ore hauling road, show de-
crease of 81, 997 1927 in its gross
earnings for the first half of this
year, as compared with the same
period of 1913. The earnings of
the Northern Pacific dropped $685., :
982.

Two HarbOrs Shipments

Shipments of iron ore from the
docks of the Duluth & Iron Range
Railroad company there is continu-
ing at the same pace set earlier i'll
the season.
During August 1,O23,645 tons
were shipped, which is slightly
under the shipments for July. 1t is
expected that shipments will con-
tinued at the same pace until the
close of navigation.
The shipping of lumber con-
tinues to be heavy. The total for
the season will probably exceed
that of last year.

Murder and Sa|suB

Word was received here Wednes-
day by relatives that John Judnich
had shot and killed his wife and
then committed suicide at Virginia
City, Nevada, Tuesday. Despon-
dency over his inability to secure
work is claimed as the cause for the
shooting.
: Judnich was a former resident of
this city but several years ago re-
moved to the mining districts OF
Nevada. Mrs. Judnich was for
merly Miss Katie Barich, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Barich OF
this city and has many friends here
who express regret over the trag-
edy. Her parents and several sis
tiers and brothers still reside here.
Three children, aged 7, 5 and
years are left and were witnesses
of the act that bereaved them OF
both parents. The survivors have
the sympathy of many in their
bereavement.

being built from Grand Marais to
Ely, through the virgin forests of
Cook County, Mimi, will be popu-

appropriate, for the road traverses

in the sense that it has just been

Northern Michigan is beating out
the southern part of the state in the
matter Of road building" says p. II. l..
Carl. vice-president and general
manager Of the Manistee & Northeast
ern RAILROAD. 'In the northern part
OF the state more attention is being
given to the construction OF stone
roads than i'm the southern portion,
where the turnpike style is more COM
mon"
Mr.. Carl recently made tour in his
automobile with his family through
the southern part Of the state. Mr..
Carl has been active for many years
in the development of northern Michi-
gan and is proud of the progress being
made. He emphasizes the interest
northern farmers are taking i'm road
building and predicts that in the near
future the northern counties will show
some fine examples to the counties
further south. He also lays stress up
on the superior development OF the
farms in the northern counties which
is due in part at least to good roads.
and says he believes there is more
persistent policy Of development in tho
northern part than further south in
the state, where he says there is an
apparent absence Of the hustle that liz
building up northern Michigan.

Sulphur For Fowls

Will you please tell me through your
paper how much sulphur should be
fed to hens and chicks as a preventa-
tive for canker, as have had serious
time with this trouble the past sum-
mer? Also tell what is the cause Of
canker. @. II. +.
Feeding sulphur will not prevent
canker. 1t may be in a measure bene-
fetal to your fowls if fed sparingly
during a dry time, but should not be
fed in wet weather, as it may cause
rheumatism. A teaspoonful to a
dozen hens is about the right quantity
The quantity for chicks will depend
on their size. Half grown chicks use
half the amount and proportionately
less for smaller ones. Canker is a
form of roup or ii may be due to mold
germs getting into abraised portions of

CAREFUL HANDLING

Care i'm all handling operations is
the second important requisite of sue
cessful storage. A class of fungi, of
which the common blue mold is an
example. are known to be unable to
attack and cause decay of healthy, un-
injured fruit. In spite Of this fact,
very serious rots, both in storage and
in transit to market are the work of
fungi OF this type, and the largest
contributory cause in all cases is
bruising or skin breaking suffered by
the fruit in the picking and packing
operations. Microscopic bl uises and
breaks in the skin are large enough to
afford entrance to the spores of these
fungi, and the necessity for the ut
most care in all operations connected
with the handling Of the fruit to avoid
bruising and mechanical injuries is
more urgent than most growers
realize.

WOMAN, nUf Man,
HAS MADE MARRIAGE
IMMENSE SUCCESS
MARRIAGE HAS JUSTIFIED IT
SELF SAYS FAMOUS WELSH
WRITER

81 look upon marriage as the great
est Of all human institutions. | think
ii is an immense success and that
woman, not man, has made it SO.
Without it the human family would
fall into swift and complete disinte-
grafton.
Whether marriage comes out of
the family or the family out of mar
riage is a metaphysical question that
does not trouble me. What / see in
the world is a mighty force that holds
the children OF men together as moth
ing else could.
II think marriage has justified it
self, that the majority of marriages
are happy ones and that, taken to-
gether, they constitute the mightiest
factor i'm the welfare of humanity.
My experience has been that this is
true all the world over and among all
sorts and conditions of people, from
people like Mr.. Chevalier,s odd
Dutch to the people who wear cor
onets and the people who sit on
thrones.
but / also think that if marriage
as an institution HAS been blessing
TO the human family it has not been
by virtue Of any legal contracts or
religious sacraments whatsoever, but
solely by the operation of that beauti-
full natural law which Jesus described
when he spoke of a man leaving
father and mother and cleaving to his
wife, and they, too, being one flesh
whom God hath joined together and
therefore no man might put asunder."

3. Prompt storage after picking.
4. A proper storage temperature.
Careful and extensive Investigations
have demonstrated that fruit picked

affected by scald and decay than that

found to be especially susceptible to

maturely There is no doubt that
several thousand dollars are lost to
the industry each year through the
improper picking OF these two vari-
ties alone. The results emphasize
strongly that more care and attention
should be paid TO this detail of the
harvesting operations than is usually
the case.
BY full maturity. however. is not
meant overmaturity, which may cause
fully as heavy losses as immaturlty
Each grower should study his own
fruit and his own conditions in order
to determine the proper picking stage.
Probably the most reliable single in

FRUIT TREES FOR CALHOUN
ROADS

A plan to plant fruit trees along the
Calhoun county roads built by the
good roads commission is to be laid
before the supervisors at their October
session. The following petition has
been filed with the supervisors:
I'VE the undersigned residents OF
Calhoun county respectfully petition
and request that the sum of $1,000 be
appropriated and set aside each year
from the general fund OF the county
and assigned to the use of the county
road commissioners for the express
purpose of planting. growth and care
or fruit-bearing trees along the high
ways OF Calhoun county where state
reward roads have been built and
taken over by the county road COM
mission.
This petition is endorsed by resolu-
tions from the Battle Creek Horticul-
ture Society, the Central Fruit Grow
ers' Association and the Chamber of
Commerce of Battle Creek.
BY adding the fruit tree planting
plan TO the road building work, it
would do much toward making this
county have the most beautiful high
ways in the state.
These fruit trees planted along the
highways would not only protect the
sides from erosion, but in the summer
time would add most welcome shade,
prospect of beauty and sense Of living
companionship. This plan was sug-
gested by the late c. w. Post as a
means of not only identifying the high
way, but at the same time producing
a revenue towards the upkeep of the
road. as the fruit trees would soon
produce fund from the sale of the
fruit and at the same time would be
the means of furnishing fruit at very
small cost to the wage-earners in this
county,
'In several countries in Europe ii
is learned that every few miles of
highway has a repair man in charge
of the road all the year, who, besides

CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Conducted by VI. w. HICKS

Maybe those of your readers who
have had considerable experience with
chickens may not see anything worth
while in the following experience
which Mrs. ID. had yesterday, but To
us amateurs it seemed like quite
worthy of notice.
Mrs. ID. was giving about forty
young incubator chicks their first les
son in eating, and was having the
usual amount Of trouble with the job.
Close at hand was year-old hen with
bunch of ten chicks, about three
weeks old. The hen heard the baby
chicks peeping and was excitedly
clucking away. trying to call them
over to her. Mrs. ID. thought it would
be interesting to see what would hap
pen If the hen could get at the chicks
So she picked her out of her pen, and
placed her gently down in the brooder
coop with the chicks, keeping very
near, so as to lift her out in case she
attempted to pick the babies. At
first the chicks all fled to the other
end of the coop i'm a panic. They were
afraid of the hen. But biddy was
plainly dee-lighted to see such nice,
big bunch of babies, and she began
picking up food and dropping il with
her bill, and clucking with all her
might. In less than minute she had
the whole bunch around her. eating
and twittering away perfectly happy
and contented.
After the chicks had learned their
lesson. biddy was returned to her own
home and family. G. Il. ID.
