Judge Booth Rules in Favor OF
Northwestern Railway Com
pany-Large Sum Saved.

Winona, Minn.-Railroads operating
In Minnesota are said to have been
saved an estimated expenditure of sew
eral million dollars as a result OF a de-
cision by Federal Judge Wilbur F.
Booth made public here, holding in
valid an act of the Minnesota Legis'
lature requiring railroads. car shops
and other companies manufacturing or
repairing cars and car trucks to pro-
vide buildings for such work that will
protect employees from "heat, rain,
cold, snow and other inclement

manen injunction restraining the Min
nesota Railroad and Warehouse com
mission and Attorney General c. l..
Hilton from enforcing or attempting to
enforce the statute in question.
Enforcemnt of the statute would
have required the expenditure of ap-
proximately one million dollars by the

HAD CRUDE IDEA OF WORLD
In the Thirteenth Century People Had
Very Simple Notions Concerning
Geographical Facts.

Geography in the Thirteenth CEN
fury was a very simple affair, which
could be completely mastered by a
schoolboy with a few minutes study.
The most reliable map pictured a
little fiat world OF three continents,
Europe, Asia and Africa. On its face
appears the various kinds of creatures,
human, animal and semi-human, which
were believed to inhabit the remote
regions of the earth. The holy city
OF Jerusalem is placed in the exact
center, and al the extreme east Is the
Garden of Paradise, represented by
an apple tree, Adam and Eve and the
serpent.
The earth itself is bounded on the
four quarters by the "jumping-off
place" In the southern part of At
RIGA appears the figure of a strange
man whose face appears 70 be on his
chest. Elsewhere are griffins, uni
corns and several creatures which com
pletely defy classification. This map
is interesting to contrast with that
studied in ancient China, which repre-
sented the known world as resting on
the back of a cow. Some of the old
Chinese declared that, after an earth
quake they had found some Of the
cows hairs in the assures of the earth.

with every care the poultryman may
take, he will have little success in
bringing on layers during the cold
months unless a proper house is pro-
yided.
Experiments by poultry specialists
at the state agricultural colleges with
artificial lighting to promote egg pro-
duction during the short days have
been most interesting. Ii now has
been proven that artificial lights, prin-
cipally electric, hat are turned on

course, the hens do not utilize all their
feed to promote warmth. After the
hens have gone TO rOost at night. their
morning feed is scattered in the litter.
Then when the lights are turned on,
usually about 4 a.. m, they get off the
perch, are forced TO take exercise to
get their breakfasts and are kept in

the proper sort of a house and careful
feeding and handling, the owner will

chestnuts

An old writer says that ho~rse-chest-
nuts are so called because people In
the East countries do with the fruit
thereof cure their horses Of the cough,
shortness of breath. and such-like dis
eases" II is always a temptation to
seek for an ingenious explanation
when there is a simple n al hand,
but the fact Is that the horse-chestnut
has no connection whatever with the
horse. The word horse" as used not
only IN horse-chestnut. but also in
horse-laugh. horse-play. h~orse-radish,
and horse-mint, Is the same word as
goose" the common name of the
rough. prickly shrub OF hi commons.
The horse-chestnut deserves its prefix
doubiy, for when inclosed In it's burr
1t is a prickly thing to handle. and
its kernel is acid and unpleasant 10
the taste. Similarly, the horse-radish
is a pungent tuber and the horse-mint
a pnngent mint. Horse-play is rough.
