II must not tell you, Captain, who he
was; but it is none the less true; you

Very Large Snake Story.

Igot interested in the study of ssrpents
down In Arkansaa, where spent the
most Of last year. don't know why,
but I was continually watching them
and testing their sagacity, by placing
them in new situations and surround
ing them with novel expcdients. or all
kinds, experimental most with rattle
snakes and copperheads. One after
noon I seated myself on little knoll in
the woods to smoke and read, and had
been enjoying myself for some time,
when | espied a copperhead making for
hole within ten feet from where sat
Ofcourse thrc" down my book and
cigar, and proceeded to try new exper-
iment. As soon AS I stirred, the rascal
made rush for the hole; but caught
his tail as he got nearly in, aud jerked
him some twenty feet backward He
threw himself into coil in no time, and
waited for me to pitch in. But l con-
cluded to let him try his hole again.
After while he started for it, stopping
when I started, to coil himself up; but
1 kept pretty quiet, and he recovered
confidence aud went In. Again l jerk
cd him out. No sooner did he hit the
ground than he made grand rush for
the hole in a straight line for my legs!
But that didn't work, for l got out Of
the way, and give him another firt.
This time he lay still awhile appearing
to reflect on the course to be taken. At
ter time he tried it again, though rath-
er slowly. After getting his head a
little way in, he stopped and wiggled his
tail, as ifon purpose for me to grab it.
did SD; and quicker than flash he drew
his head out, and came within quarter
of All inch of striking me in the face
However, Ijerked him quite distance
and resolved to look out for him next
time. Well, he tried the same game
again, but 1t wouldn't work-I was too
quick for him. This time he lay IN o
coil half an hour without moving. At
last he tried it once more. He a1vaneed

Timber Culture.

In an essay entitled Climber Culture
II Necessity" read at u meeting Of the
Northern Illinois Horticultural Society
BY f. &. SchoAeld, Of Elgin, H., he
said:
Ssnmoa III The land -holders Of the
sn1otsy, and dssnonsGsaAs 70 thso the
prollts Of timber csltsrs; produce facts,
and not theory; tell them that from one
acre planted with Tysoless Larch they
may reap harvest, at tho end Of six
yeass, Of hoop poles, grape stakes and
trellis materials, worth more than two
hundred dollars. and at tho close Of an
other six years they may reap harvest
Of fence posts which will be compare
lively imperishable, and worth more
than nine hundred dollars. In testimo-
ny, I adduce my forest In Elgin, which,
ten years ago, was smooth prairie,
and afterwards planted with plants,
which then stood In the nurseries ol
Scotland. Let them measure the trees,
both Of pine and larch, Of more than two
feet in circumference, and more than
twenty feet In height; count the number
on the acre, and estimate the number oi
fence posts that each tree will make;
tell them At the end OF ten years they
may reap third harvest by cutting one
half OF the residue, or six hundred and
five trees, more than ono and half feet
in diameter and forty feet in height.
This timber may be used for ship spara
and fence posts, building timber and
railroad ties, worth more than fifteen
hundred dollars. At the end Of another
ten years they may enter the forest
again and gather fourth crop, by re-
moving three hundred and two trees,
leaving an equal number growing.
Now, the trees have al average dame
ter of two feet and more, and arc sixty
feet in height, each Of which is worth at
least ten dollars, or total value Of three
thousand dollars. The amount OF the
proceeds already realized in thirty years
Is Ave thousand six hundred dollars, or
an average OF more than one hundred
and eighty-six dollars annually per
acre.
