Distinct Cleavage Exists.

Although Russia has been a consti-
tutional monarchy since 1905, when the
first step toward a representative gov
ernment was made, the legislative. ex-
ecutive and judicial power have con-
tinued to be united to a great extent
in the emperor. who still bears the
title of autocrat. There is distinct
cleavage. moreover. between the duma
and the government, whose members
are appointed by the emperor and are
not responsible to the duma. 1t was
this condition which was largely re-
sponsible for the serious political crisis
that came to a head with the recent
assembling of the duma. At that time
The government was made the object
of bitter attack by various influential
parties representing the voice of pub
lie opinion which could not be ignored,
and the displacement of NJ. Sturmer
probably means that for the first time
in Russian history the representatives
Of the people have succeeded in mold
ing the government in accordance with
their wishes.

while NJ. Trepoff in the past has en-

recent Petrograd dispatch quoted
Prof. Paul Milukoff, one of the promi-
nent liberal leaders. as saying an
agreement had been reached between
the government and the duma which
was entirely satisfactory to the repre-
sentatives of the people. but there had
been no previous intimation that this
would result in the retirement of the
premier. In fact. a dispatch filed in
Petrograd Wednesday quoted the well
Informed Russky Siovo to the effect
that NJ. Sturmer was convinced the
crisis had passed and that tie existing
order would remain without change for
the present at least.

NEW 1RRIaAT1oN LAW
PREVENTS "wMD CArTINa,r

We have read with great deal Of
pleasure an account written by Prof.
smith, irrigation engineer of the Agri-
cultural Experiment station Of Arizona,
in which he tells of the proposed irri-
CATION law for this state. From the
account, it would seem to us that this
law embodies all that is good in the ir-
rigation laws of most of the western
states and leaves out that which is bad.
The bill provides for a state water
board. This board is made up of the
governor, state engineer and the cor.
poratioD commission. 1t will be the
duty of this state water board to fix
priorities of the present bitches and all
new appropriations must make applica
tion for permit from this board to
divert a certain amount of water. The
state engineers office will have or OBJ.
tain data concerning the unappropriated
water in that particular stream. If
there is unappropriated water there,
the permit will be granted, if not, it
will be refused, or will be granted ON
condition that the applicants build
reservoir and store the flood water. II
this water commission rightly handles
the problem, it will protect the water
users as we'll as prevent the "wild
cat" irrigation schemes that have been
30 detrimental to some Of the othsr
western states. II seems to Us that
Arizona is on the right track and II
she can pass the law as proposed, she

It is said that Ewes discomfort grew

It started about clothes, of course.
Adam, 90 the story goes, criticised

he first saw her with it on, said it was
too short and showed that she was bow
legged-just. as men talk of what is
being revealed with the accent on the

Eve mad and she said "Well don t
care Adam" He reproved her for
prououncing his name that way said
it was unladylike and not in accord
ance with good taste. And right there
the trouble began. Eve couldn't get 4

she raised Cain.

Carlson in the state convention on

very cleverly arranged. Eugene Grubb,
a very popular leader from the western
slope, was selected as the candidate
against Carlson. But the enemies of
the governor were routed, horse, foot
and dragon, and Carlson, by vote of
545 to 236, goes to the national conven.
tion as a delegate at large. Perhaps

Visitors to Summer Home of Kate
Douglas Wiggin Wrote Entertain
ingiy of Their Sojourn There.

Everyone who went to the Dorcas
fair, held each summer at Quillcote,
the summer home Of Kate Douglas
Wiggin, talked about it, and great
many wrote about it. Here is an ac-
count of the tea party with which one
group of visitors closed their after
noon.
I'VE took our tea at an old tea
house down the road and in sight Of
the bridge. The tables were set out
CO doors and l don't know which one
of Mrs. Virgins characters served US.
Certainly she was as good as anything
in a book There are servants; hired
girls, and those who wait on table in
Maine. Said she to me: What will
you have to drink Tea answered.
One other Of our party called for tea
but later changed to coffee when the
other members ordered 1t. Well,
what do you say now?' demanded the
girl. Tea l answered firmly. And
sandwiches?' Certainly And we
have gingerbread Gingerbread, too.
but not with the sandwiches I
seemed to have made hit. In due
season she reappeared from the house.
deposited the coffee upon tho table,
and a part Of the cup Of tea in my lap.
She wasn't looking at the tea. How
many people do you think were up at
Mrs. Wiggin's today?' she asked.
-Four thousand I answered. No,
really she gasped. Only LOO. They
told me 80. Four thousand?' I didn't
count; I guessed Then 1t was l..
10G,' she assured me. and deftly re-
moving traces Of the spilled tea, went
in search Of the gingerbread. But
dear me. Hollis is filed with people
who have clad themselves In the ger
ments of Mrs. Wiggin's characters. l
suspect that during the afternoon we
must have touched elbows with Mr..
Cobb, and Mirandy. and Emma Jane
and Clara Belle, and even, possibly,

TELL SLEEPS AGE BY TEETH
When Purchasing an Animal Ono
Should See to II That Mono Of
Molars Are Missing.

A lamb has eight small flrst.teeth
on the lower Jaw. When the animal
reaches the age Of about one year, the
middle pair are replaced by two per-
manent teeth, at the age Of about
two the teeth on ether side of these
permanent teeth are also replaced
with a permanent pair; at the age Of
three the next tooth on either side
gives way to permanent tooth: and
at about the age Of four, the last or
back teeth are replaced in like man
ner.
Briefly, then, a sheep with one
pair Of permanent teeth is a yearling;
sheep with two pairs Is a two-year
old; with three pairs, three-year
odl; and with four pairs, a four.year
old.
After a sheep is four years old, one
cannot tell by the teeth about the
age, However, one who is purchasing
a sheep should see to 1t that It has
net lost any teeth, or that the teeth
have not become long and shoe-peggy
in appearance.

AVOID SPREAD OF INFECTION
Thorough Distinction Is Essential to
and Efficient in Preventing
Contagion.

In any outbreak Of infectious dis.
ease among animals thorough disin-
lection of the premises is essential to
preventing the spread of the conta.
gion. Certain substances, such as
fresh slaked lime or unslaked lime in
powder form, chloride Of lime, car.
bolic acid, corrosive sublimate, for.
malin, formaldehyde gas, and com.
pound solution Of cresol possess the
power of destroying bacteria with
which they come in contact. To make
the use of such substances Of value,
however, the work must be done with
the utmost thoroughness.
In the disinfection of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed:
1. Sweep ceilings, side walls. stall
partitions, floors, and other surfaces
until free from cobwebs and dust.
2. Remove all accumulations Of
filth by scraping, and if woodwork has
become decayed porous, or absorbent,
it should be removed, burned, and re-
placed with new material.
8. 1t the floor is of earth, remove
4 inches from the surface, and in
places where it shows staining with
urine sufficient depth should be re-
placed to expose fresh earth.
4. All refuse and material from ste.
BILE and barnyard should be removed
to a place not accessible to slaked
lime.
5. The entire interior Of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, should be saturated with a dis
infectant, as a per cent solution Of
compound solution Of cresol GU. S. p,
which would be four ounces Of the
compound to every gallon of water.
The best method of applying the dis
infectant is by means Of strong
spray pump, such as those used by
orchardsists.
This. method is efficient in disin.
lection against most Of the conta-
gious and infectious diseases Of ami.
mails, and should be applied immedi-
ately following any outbreak, and, as
a matter of precaution, it may be used
once or twice yearly.
