HOUSE DECIDES TO PROBE DELAY Ballinger-Pinchot Affair Up in Congress. FINDINGS NOT YET IN Representative Hitchcock Asks Inves- tigation of Reason Why Committee Reports Have Not Been Submitted Since Opening of Session—Speaker Cannon Resents What He Terms Criticism of the Chair. Washington, Jan. 27.—Representa- tive G. M. Hitchcock (Dem., Neb.) sprang a sensation in the house by demanding an investigation of the “ir- regular proceeding” which has result- ed in a delay of forty-nine days in get- ting the reports of the Ballinger-Pin- chot investigating committee printed and into the hands of members of the house. An acrimonious debate followed, in which Speaker Cannon took an active part, resenting what he termed an im- plied criticism of the chair. The house, after listening to various explanations as to the probable cause of the delay, voted almost unanimous- ly in support of a resolution ordering an investigation by the committee on rules.

ADMITS SOME CONGESTION Superintendent of Tenth Division Breaks Long Silence by Referring to Conditions in the Affected Dis- trict, Which, He Says, Are Improv- ing—Men From Six. States on the Way to St. Paul Conference. St. Paul, Jan. 27.—There is quiet in the ranks of the Twin City mail clerks. This quiet is expected to be broken Saturday, when a mass meeting of between 200 and 300 railway mail clerks will be held in St. Paul to con- sider the controversy between the postoffice department and themselves. John L. Thornton, head of the griev- ance committee of the clerks, who was dismissed Tuesday by Postmaster General Hitchcock for insubordina- tion, was not communicative. “We have nothing to say until Saturday,” he said. *“No doubt many questions will be settled at the meeting. Clerks from Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Montena, Ilinois and Towa will be there.” One of the principal questions to come up will undoubtedly be whether or mot all the clerks of the Tenth division will stand by the men on the Tracy-Pierre run and set a date for a general walkout. Superintendent Norman Perkins broke his silence and admitted con | gestion on the run between Pierre anci Rapid City. Says Congestion Is Slight. “I have received a telegram from the chief clerk at Rapid City,” said Mr. Perkins, “in- which he tells me that there has been a slight:conges- tion at his station, caused by the breaking in of several new men on the Tracy-Pierre run. But he says that all the delayed mail will be cleaned up shortly and that he will use only regulars to do the work. ‘A message from the chief clerk at Plerre tells me that the congestion has been cleaned up and that the mail is be- ing delivered as usual.” Mr. Perkins sald that he had re- ceived no notification from the post- office department at Washington in re- gard to an official investigation. “I only know what I have seen in the newspapers,” he said. A Washington dispatch said that Representative E. W. Martin of South Dakota laid the dissatisfaction among the men in the Tenth division to Mr. Perkins. The Tenth division superintendent declined to discuss the report that the 1,600 mail clerks in this division are “out after his scalp.” AEROPLANE CARRIES - SIX Makes Trip of Thirteen Miles With Weight of 1,000 Pounds.

London, Jan. 27.—Sir Charles Dilke, aged sixty-eight, Liberal member of parliament, holder of many govern- ment offices and one of the wealthiest mine owners of Great Britain, died suddenly of heart failure.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 27.—Yelling like Indian warriors and firing promis- cously from pistols in both hands, two masked bandits boarded an in- bound Beach suburban car on the outskirts of Santa Monica. After rob- bing twenty-two passengers and seri- ously wounding one of them the bandits fled before a single shot. This shot wounded one of the rob- bers. He was captured when he at- tempted to board a car to come into the city for medical treatment. His wounded cheek betrayed him. Harry L. Mitchel of Santa Monica, wounded in the fusillade, was shot in the neck. The bandit who was shot received the bullet in the cheek. Her- bert Harlan, the man who shét him, was struck by a hullet, which fell harmlessly into his vest pocket. \‘ : OF GREAT VALUE AS A PROTECT STEAD ON A LA R E R R E L LR LY WIND-BREAKS. L KX | * By E. G. Cheyney, Division of Forestry, Minnescta Univer- «* sity Farm. * * kb r bbb bbb bbbt The wind-break on the farm is very often praisc¢d or condemned according to the personal whims of the speakers, | without much reference to the facts. Like most things, such breaks have their advantages and disadvantages, which should he carefully balanced up in each particular case before the wind- break is established. For the break which would be a great benefit for some particular purpose might be as great a hindrance in another. The advantages of wind-breaks may be briefly summed up as follows: They protect the crops to leeward from the extreme cold of the north ! wind, or from the drying effects of the southwest wind, according to their location; they help hold the snow- blanket in place, and so iessen the al- ternate freezing and thawing of the ground, so injurious to some crops, such as clover and winter wheat; they add greatly to the general appearance of the farm; they furnish shelter for the stock in the pastures; and -they supply a certain amount of fuel and fence-posts. The degree and impor- tance of these advantages vary great- 1y with the conditions. { The disadvantages usually men- | tioned are three in number: Wind- ! breaks occupy space which could be | more profitably devoted to something | | oo e ol ok else; they pile up the snow-drifts near them in the fields to leeward, and these delay the spring planting; they shed small branches and litter, which interfere with the working of the farm « machinery. i These are certainly objections in the case of land devoted to small | grains; and it is yet an open question whether the benefits derived are more | than enough to offset them. Experi | ments are now being carried on by | the department of agriculture to deter- : mine the true value of wind-break pro- i tection, but they are not yet com- pleted. One of these objections, the drop- ping of branches and litter, may be wholly avoided by the selection of the proper species of tree. The second objection may be met with the ques- tion whether it does not pay to have along the edge of a field a turning: strip, which may be used as perma- nent pasture. There is always more or less grain lost along the edge of the field if this is not done. The first objection, that of lost space, cannot be determined till the protection val ue of the wind-break has been accur ately determined. These cbjections, however, apply only in the case of grain fields. In case of orchards and homesteads there can be no question of the unadulterated benefits of a wind-break Protected in this way, many species of fruit trees, ornamental trees and shrubs, which would not be hardy at all in the open prairie, do admirably. There are many instances on record where orchards were several times at- tempted in vain in the open, and final ly were perfectly successful when properly protected, preferably on the north, west and south. No one who has lived on the pral cies will dispute the advantages and added comfort of a home properly pro tected from the sweep of disagree- able winds. All things considered, and in spite of the alleged objections, the wind-break is indispensable on the prairie farm. - PRODUCTION OF BROILERS Young Birds Should Be Cooped Up and Well Fed. It is not practical for poultry raisers to give their broilers much range, when it is intended to put them on the market at an early day. It has been suggested, at the Minnesota Ex- periment Station, that fattening stock should be confined in small quarters, with an ambundance of fresh air and water, and proper sanitary conditions; and be fed on wholesome, fattening food. The same amount of food that such stock would be fed during 2 giv- en time, when running at large, will produce the desired marketing condi- tions much quicker if the stock is kept in confinement. It is therefore a mat- ter of economy to coop the young birds intended for market, and convert them into cash early. i ION TO THE ORCHARD AND HOME. PRAIRIE FARM. GNAW BARK OF TREES. Great Injury Is Done During the Win. ter Months by Rabbits and Mice. Injury is often caused during the winter by mice and rabbits gnawing the bark of small trees; in some cases entirely girdling them. This may be prevented by covering the trunks of the trees with lath or wire protectors, fine enough “to keep out mice. Re- move rubbish from next the trees, or tramp the snow down closely around them, to protect from injury by mice. If there is a heavy fall of snow during the winter, or it banks up around the trees, rabbits often injure the branch- es that they can reach from the drifts. The surest preventive for this injury is to use a boy and a shotgun to kill all rabbits about the place. They may also be caught in various types of traps. Smearing the trees with blood is also a deterrent—Le Roy Cady, Minnesota University Farm.

Sunscald is a diseased condition of trees, caused usually by the sun strik- ng some exposed part of the tree, gen- 1erally the soutwest side of the trunk, on mild days i January or February. | This thaws the bark and starts the i action of sup; then it freezes at night and thaws again the next day. This TO PREVENT SUNSCALD. tion against both sunscald and mechanical injuries. alternate freezing and thawing injures the bark, which eventually cracks and falls off in patches. Sunscald may be prevented by tying a few cornstalks, reeds, boards, or something of this sort, on the southwest side of the tree, to shade the trunk during the winter. This protection should be put on ‘now.—Le Roy Cady, Minnesota Uni- versity Farm. RHUBARB FOR WINTER USE Plant Can Be Grown Successfully in the “Cellar. ‘Where one has a nice patch of rhu- barb on the place, it is sometimes de- sirable to take up a large clump or several plants; allow them to freeze; then place them in the cellar in soil; water carefully, and allow the plants to grow. a temperature of from 40 to 50 de- grees for best growth. If grown in the dark, the leaves are very small, and the stalk is large and tender. Three or four ordinary clumps of rhu- barb will furnish a good many messes during the winter. This forcing de- stroys the plants for further use.—Le Roy Cady, Minnesota University Farm. Sanitary Quarters for Cattle. Tubercuiosis is often induced by damp and filthy surroundings and badly ventilated sleeping quarters; hence the removal of these causes, if they exist, will contribute to the health of the herd. —_— Why They Smiled. It was the Sabhath day, and the eld- er was shaving himself prior to church time when he made a slight cut with the razor on the extreme end of his nose. Calling his wife, he asked her if she had any court plaster. “You will find some in my sewing basket,” she said. The elder soon bad the cut covered. At church in assisting with the collec- tion he noticed every one smile as he passed the plate. Very much annoy- theére was anything wrong with his appearance. “I should say there was,” answered the assistant. “What is that upon your nose?" “Court plaster.” “No,” said his friend; “it is the label from a reel of cotton. It says, ‘War- ranted 200 yards.’ "—Pearson’s. The true, the good. the beautiful, are but forms of the Infinite.

Milwaukee, Jan. 27.—Judge Quarles has ruled that the Menomonie Indien réservation in the northern part of the state i “Indian country” and de- nied the petition of John Kaquatosch, an Indian accused of taking liquor on the reservation, that he be discharged. Kaquatosch was sentenced toa fine of $100 and sixty.days in the house of correction. : Why the Vases Were Valuable. There's a china expert in one of the large department stores here who has an amusing little trade of his own on the side. It is nothing more or less than declding the value of rare china or glass ware broken by careless serv- ants or packing houses. “It requires a lot of diplomacy, too,” he sald, with a laugh. “Not so very long ago I was called in to arbitrate between an irate householder and one of the big moving firms. She said with S0bs that the movers had broken a pair of vases which she valued at $100. The movers, although willing to make restitution, considered the sum exor- bitant. Well, I looked at the pleces and found the value about $25. I told the woman so quietly. ‘I know that,’ she sobbed, ‘but they belonged to my mother-in-law, and my husband will think I made the men.do it purposely unless 1 get a lot for them.’ “And it was not until the men had promised to prove they had dome it accidentally that the lady was content to accept the $25.” — Philadelphia Times.
