Observation-Disclosures terminating
in the Twin Cities have. received as
suring information from the Interstate
Commerce commission that 27.750
empty box cars have been ordered de-
ilvered to the Western roads by the
Eastern railroads. The new order re-
places others by the commission and
the American Railways commission
recently cancelled. "
OF this number of cars, 1900 cars
will be delivered to the 500 Line, 300
to the Chicago and Northwestern
1900 to the Rock Island, and 300 to
the Chicago and Great Western. 1t
was also announced that deliveries of
grain cars would be made to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads. ,,..,' -.
w. p. Trickett, manager of the Min.
neapolis Traffic association, said, this
particular order of the commission, II
carried out. would help relieve the car
shortage in the Northwest. Figures
on the movement of cars of grain and
grain products at Minneapolis were an
nounced for the month OF June as fol-
lows: 6,5Ss cars Of grain, 1887 cars
Of -four, .2,1s6 cars of millstuns. 1870
cars of linseed oil and 1888 cars ofsoil
cake, making total OF .13. ST. cars

=. L. W. Hill. chairman Of the board Of
the Great Northern railroad. who re.
turned from the East, issued the first
optimistic interview on railroads. that
has come from any prominent railway
executive in several years. "The rail-
road situation is Improving" said Mr..
Hin; land is gradually being straight
!; III the Western roads get back the
cars hatbelong to them and our crop
comes through we will be in good
shape. The Western roads are rum
ming along on a 60 to IS per cent car
supply while the Eastern roads are
nearer $50 per cent. The Eastern
roads are holding our cars and using
them, and this certainly discourages
Western roads from buying more
equipment, because they can't get
what they already own.
1T Is fully realized that the rail-
roads must have an increase in rates.
and am confident that this will be
forthcoming very soon, SO I view the
future enthusiastically" IN

TO ExTERMINATE CROP PESTS
Scientist Plans to Use Flame Throwers and Other Methods to De-
 stroy Enemies.

In 1918 and 1919 the territory near the delta of the Rhone suffered greatly from swarms of the Morocco cricket, which multiplied so excessively as to be of great injury to the crops. At recent meeting of the French Academy of Sciences a report was made by NJ. Vayssiere on the use of the flame throwers," employed in the war for throwing liquid fire, to exterminate these pests. With an apparatus hold ing about twelve liters of petroleum an extent of POO square meters can be so thoroughly swept with flames as to kill all the insects. Asphyxiating gases had but little effect but applications of powered chloropicrin were much more satisfactory. While vegetation suffered somewhat the effects were only temporary. Lastly, M. Vayssiere made use of poisoned bait with basis of arsenic like that employed in Italy and in the United States and obtained good results. He proposes to utilize all three methods-frst the flame throwers to exterminate the hordes of young larvae in all cases where their use does not involve danger of fire; secondly, chloropicrin powder where the flame throwers would be danger ous; and thirdly poisoned bait in irri- gated meadows where no cattle are pastured.

HOW TUBERCULOSIS SPREADS Different Means by Which Malady Say Be Introduced Into Healthy Herd
 of Dairy Cows.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agrieulture)
 Tuberculosis may be introduced into a healthy herd by any of the following means:
 Addition of an animal that Is in- fected with the disease. Animals should be purchased from herds known to be free from tuberculosis or from herds under supervision for the eradi- cation of the disease.
 Feeding calves with milk or other dairy products from tuberculous cows. This frequently occurs where the own CT purchases mixed skim milk from the creamery and feeds 1t to his calves without first making it safe by boiling or past0lrization.
 Careless showing of cattle at fairs and exhibitions. Reports have indi- cated that numerous herds have be- come infected through mingling with diseased cattle at shows or by occu- pying infected premises.
 Shipment of animals in cars which have recently carried diseased cattle and which have not been disInfeeted properly.
 Use of community pastures in which tuberculous cattle are allowed to graze.
 In most cases the outward appear ance of the animal bears no relation to the degree of infection. The dis ease frequently develops so slowly that in some cases it may be months, or even longer, before any symptoms are shown; therefore be on the safe side and have your herd tested.

Kept Gowns of a Lifetime.

Looking round the prodIgious dis play of the late Princess Lobanoff's clothing at the Hotel Drouot made you wonder if she ever gave or threw any thing away in her lifetime. Three hundred or more tea gowns and eve ming frocks, disposed of in the recent sale of her effects, were of every date since her wedding trosseau. Her body linen also was of every style from the primitive simplicity of early Victorian ideals to the luxurious garments adopted by the Parisian coquette to- day.
 But the embroidered and laced house linen, the fine sheets in bundles of 36, found more eager buyers than the clothing. Her furs were of great beau ty and variety. There were coats and cloaks of sealskin. of dark astrakhan, all in bewildering quantiti ies.-From the Continental Edition of the Lon don Mail.

IMPORTANT FUEL DISCOVERY

According to articles. pub lished in the London Times and elsewhere, a new type of fuel, for which remarkable claims are made, has been invented by MT. Richard Bowen, Gtd.), a company which has recently been formed to exploit the pro- cess. The new fuel is pro- duced from coal slack and dust, Ignite peat, or other material, with a binder of pitch. The blocks are form ed of a number of layers, which have the same effect as the laminations in ordi- nary large Jumps of coal. The new fuel can be made in blocks of any desired size, and by combining various types of material it is stated that a product of any requir- ed calorific value within req son can be produced.
 ''It it claimed that a good house or industrial coal can be produced from materials that could not hitherto be utilized for these purposes. Put briefly, the inventors claim is that out of what has so far been regared as waste material reconstructed coal, in layers or laminations, just as it occurs in the earth, has been produced. The cost of laminated coal is said to be considerably below that of ordinary coal. We under stand that licenses to work the. process have already been acquired by a number of collieries in Great Britain and that negotiations are in progress with many others. French collieries are also adopting the process, and Italian firms are displaying great interest in the matter. The Canadian Government and the government of Vic toria are Investigating the process with a view to em- ploying it in the utilization of the extensive Ignite de- positss of Alberta, Saskatche- wan, and the State of Vic tOria".

T felt kinda lost for spell after l sold the old place and came down to live with my niece" admitted the re- tired farmer. "I missed the familiar tasks, and there weren't enough new ones to keep me busy. The familiar sounds, too, were absent, and at first couldn't get used to the new ones; the young lady on the left tinkling the plano, the folks on the right running their talking machine, the feller across the street practicing his clarinet, and so forth. They bothered me. But bime-by I took to going out on the back porch and filing saw to quiet my nerves. And it always done, so; after a good spell of filing the noises of the neighborhood didn't poster me at all."-Kansas City Star.
