Never Drink water.

A large number of the smaller kinds
of desert mammals never drink water.
They live and thrive on dry seeds and
scraps Of vegetation in places where
the heat and aridity are excessive
without even touching their lips to
water, and it has been found imp0ssi-
BILE to teach some of them to take wa.
ter in captivity. Apparently they never
know thirst or the delight of quench-
ing it.

THE COMPLAINT OF THE
FARMERS

Leslie R. Smith. master OF the state
grange of Massachusetts, thus states
the complaint OF the farmer:
THE farmer worked himself 70 death
during the war. because II was MS pa
triotic duty. HIS wife worked IN lne
fields, his daughterS drove INC h"S
rake and the cultiyator. and they al
did il checrfully and well. because it
was for their country and Il was one
way they could help. And the FARMER
believed then hat when the war VS.
over conditions would return 70 normal.
and he could secure the help that no
needed on his farm. The war IS over
but the help is not TO be had. ana Lhs
farmer is weary and ov"erourdened' re
does not intend that his women shalI
work as they did before. nor VIII no
work himself that way any Longer.
The point that every one forgets.
when il comes To the question OK pro
duction or non production. IS that no
country can live without its aCr'cuI-
ture. The most successful nations IN
the world are those that arc rich IN
their agriculture, facilities. Cities nave

roads arc not yet fully taN"d with

what may we expect OF the winter or
fall?
In spite OF all admoniuions that the
public buy and store up the coal for
winter use. and in spite Of all efforts 10
during the summer the output OF coal
during the current year has been lag
ginE behind. T'artly responsible for II
are the frequent suspensions OF work
and strikes: also III" Interruptions Of
traffic and the insufficient number Of
locomotives and cars. But the public
also shares in the blame because with
a blind confidence which way be a COM
pliment for the roads, but in view Of
last winters experience amounts To
the warnings Of another coal shortage
before the end Of the year. and neSlccts
the purchase Of coal so urgently recon-
mendcd In the spring.
The consequences of this indifference
OF the public n Of the labor disturb
anCes and the inadequacy of railway
transportation are presenting a serious
aspect now. as the above order OF the
I. Z. G. shows. In their full bearing
