Don't Kill BuIlsnakes.

Kansas farmers find that bull
snake in an alfalfa field is worth at
least $3.50 a month, says the Scien-
tific American, for an acre harbors,
on an average, six gophers, which
damage the crop to that extent. One
adult bullsnake keeps an acre free of
the pests. The bullsnake is harmless,
feeds also on rats and mice around
barn or granary, and deserves the pro-
lection of the farmer.

Animal Undaunted by Pail Of
Milk in Face, Runs From
Bovine Horns.
DOUBT DADS WORD
Had Been Told That Black Bears
Were Harmless, but This Nights
Experience Makes Them Scepti-
cal on the Subject.

Clean, N. Y.-Joe Butcher, who is
of the black bears that come out of
the woods of the mountains near here
and nobody ever has been able to con-
vince him that they are harmless. His
father has told him that the black
bears come out only to look for things
to eat, or for exercise, and that they
never were interested in little boys.
Last night, however, Joe toddled out
into the barn with his older brother,
Fred, who is eleven, and for several
years has boosted Of not being afraid
Of bears, black or any other color. Joe
walked behind his brother and when
they got to the barn he sat down on
a pile of hay just inside the doorway
while his brother began milking the
cow.
"Fred," said Joe, ut Is awful dark
outside. Are you afraid of bears?"
Don't be silly" said Fred "There
aren't any bears around here except
black bears, and they wouldn't hurt
anybody"
"But they might" persisted Joe.
Sand you're not afraid of them, are
you? All right, then 1 won't be afraid
either"
Black Bruin Appears.
Fred went on milking by the light
of the lantern, until the pail was about
full. All at once he heard Joe cry out
with little stifled, sobbing scream. He
turned and saw that a big black bear
had come through the doorway and
was reaching out hairy paw for the
little boy.
Fred jumped up and ran to his
brother and the bear, forgetting to put
down the pail of milk as he ran. But
before he reached him the bears paw
had reached Joe's shoulder and the
claws had gone into the sweater at
the shoulder. The bear looked around
just then and pulled away his paw,
tearing most of Joe's sweater with it.
Joe began to cry, for the claws had
cut into his flesh about the shoulder
and neck. Fred didn't know what else
to do, so he threw the pail of milk
into the bears face. The bear put his
paws up to his eyes, trying to brush
away the milk as he backed away.
The bear inadvertently backed into
the cow, which until this time had
been standing still wondering why the
milking had stopped. But when she

saw the bear she beloved and lowered
her head. There was a furry and
flight and while the cow and the bear
were mixed up in the barn the boys
ran back to the house.
There are two boys now who are
afraid of bears, even the harmless
black bears.

strike as his only weapon Of defense.
All the items going into the cost Of
production should be certified either
by 2 system Of state inspection or by
"a commission on which the operators,
the operatives and the public are
evenly represented. The duty Of this
body should be to see that the coal is
efficiently mined; that needless ex-
penses are eliminated; and that the
costs upon which the operators, after
adding their percentage of profit, final
" base their selling price, are correct
and do in fact represent the cost of
producing the coal and conveying it
to the point where it is delivered, to
the purchaser. The percentage Of
profit should be agreed upon after g
fair and impartial hearing in which ali
three of the interested parties shall be
given voice, and should then be
made the subject Of single piece Of
Federal legislation, fixing this percent
age as the maximum profit which can
be charged over and above the cost Of
production and delivery, following in
this respect the Anti Usury Laws,
which determine and restrict the rate
Of interest which money lenders are
allowed to charge as a fair return.
In order to insure that the coal is
mined economically and in accord
ance with the immutable laws Of ma
ture, that is to say, from the mines
which will produce it at the lowest
cost, the productive capacity of the
mines themselves must be standard
lied, and this is one Of the first steps
which must be taken in order to solve
our present problem. In other
words, the coal industry must be
purged Of the unproductive and ex-
pensive mines which are now being
artifcially protected; and insofar as
these mines represent an excess pro-
duction over the total consumption
they must be closed down until the
cheaper mines are exhausted. This,
as have said, will necessitate investi-

by establishing proper living condi-
tions, and the proper legislation enac-

age Of profit, we will have practical
basis upon which the coal business
may be conducted with satisfact to
the operatives, a fair profit to the oper-
ators, and with the assurance that the
consuming public will be able to buy

Woman Jurors a Success.

~ Brown County's first experience
with woman jurors has proved de-
cided success. Any doubts that may
have enlisted as to the qualifications
or expediency Of having women serve
on juries have been dissipated by. the
able manner in which the women
measured up to their new duties right
from the start of the present term of
district court. There were doubts of
various kinds when it was proposed
recently to draw mixed jury for this
term of court, but experience has Civ
en- an answer that appears to have
ushered in a new era of court pro-
cedure here.
While the men of Brown County
greatly cutnumbered the women sum-
moned for jury duty, they have
shown chivalry and Difference toward
the women that is highly commend
able. They Immediately divided
honors and responsibilities with The
women in manner that gave the lat
ter full opportunity to show their
ability and judgment. One of the la
dies was named clerk, another a
bailiff, another forewoman of one of
the first juries and others who served
on mixed juries were accorded every
consideration; so that woman's in
fluence was manifest in many of the
most important court proceedings.
The women did not rely upon their
intuitive judgment to guide them to
decision, but listened intently to all
evidence presented, showed that they
were fully conversant with the busi-
ness and other affairs of life and ju-
dicially weighed the evidence as it
was presented to the juries.
A surprise to many of the men is
that none of the women jurors called
asked to be excused because of house,
hold duties or other considerations.
While some of the Accommodations at,
the courthouse may have been lack
ing in requirements for the Women,
there was no murmur or protest.
The first women jurors of Brown
county showed themselves unfinch-
ing in meeting their responsibilities,
and for this they deserve high credit.
They cheerfully met the physical dis.
comforts of jury duty with just as
good grace as the men, and they left
very good impression of what women
can do in meeting new responsible
ty of this character.
, VI The New Ulm court house, always
tidy and we'll kept, has perhaps been
a little more conspicuously so with
the advent of women jurors. There
was but little smoking, even in the
Railways and lobbies, and one heard
nothing in the way of language that
could be considered disrespectful or
out of place With women fre-
quently passing in and out of the
court room during recesses the men
seemed to be mindful of their pres
ence. And yet, it was during this
more or less respectful silence that
the men were weighing in the balance
the qualifications of the women for
their new duties. Silence has often
been called golden, and in this case it
may be said that the men have solemn
ly and cheerfully acknowledged woman
as peer in new field of duty.

Tickler Ratio to Tuner

Q. I would like some information concerning ticker coils on single cir cult tuners Given a stator with 60 turns, should the rotor have the same number of turns or more turns or less turns for the best results, when used as tickler?
 know that given a honeycomb No. 50 coil for a receiving coil. you will require a No. 75 for q tickler. Would not this same proportion of winding also hold good on stator-rotor winding? If not, why not? My un- derstanding has been that the ticker required more winding than the sta tor to balance aerial and stator against ticker.
 Any information you can give me on this subject will be appreciated.
 I. NJ. l..
 A. No hard and fast rule can be laid down with regard to the ratio of turns between the ticker and tuning apparatus because of the va riable conditions that enter into the situation. As general proposition, however, it can be assumed that a ratio of F to 1 in favor of the tick Ter will be all right. In this case I would suggest about 90 turns for the ticker coil.
