NOVEL BETA fellow in Boston, recently. turned terrier and bet five dollars that he could kill a rat without the employment of any other agent than his teeth. A 'yar;nint was procured, one end of a string eighteen inches long tied to one of its legs, and the other end made fast to a table. At the proper time, che man, with the end of his tongue, picked up the string and held it in his dentals. Then he quietly and slowly slid his face along it in the direction of the rat. Slower and slower his progress grew until he was within distance" and then, eyeing his victim a moment, he made a sudden snap. There was "crunch," sharp squeak" i" as life expired, and the bet was won.

Grants Resemblance to Washington.

FRsT--As Washington was the first full
General in the first great war, so Grant
was the first full General in the second.
Second-They alike fought through
two bloody wars, yet neither of them was
wounded.
Third-They alike, as Commanders-in-
Chief, received the final surrender of the
enemies of their country, and very near
the same place in Virginia, when the war
was over.
Fourth--They alike said "let us have
peace"
Fith-They were alike firm, brave, un-
ostentatious and incorruptible alike self
made and self reliant.
Sixth-They alike never made public
speeches.
Seventh-The people, and not the poll.
ticians, nominated and elected Washing
ton the first President after the first war
and the people, in like manner, have nom
mated and will elect Grant, the first Pres
ident after the second war to reconstruct
and restore the Government.
Eighth-As Washington was, so Grant
has been provideEtially chosen and saved
through every danger to do the great
work assigned him, and as Washington
was so Grant now is First in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
Will not the people remark these won
derful resemblances in the character anC
career of these two great and good men
and complete the parallel by electiDg
Grant, as they did Washington, to serve
the country, which, under Providence

Take Care OF Fruit Trees.

As PEOPLE are now contemplating put
ting out trees, before winter, they will do
well to read the second time, the advice
given by +. X. Phoenix, of Bloomington,
Illinois, who says;
"Most planters are so careless Friends,
if you want trees to thrive, plant early,
on dry, deeply plowed ground. Keep
roots from sun, air, frost, burying in
ground again as soon rs possible If
shrivelcd bury tops and all in moist
ground for ten days Thin out and shorten
in tops before planting, to balance the
loss of roots In digging. Dig large holes,
three feet across and two deep, or better
still, plow out very deep burrows, filling
up with the best soil, so that trees shall
stand only as deep as in tho nursery.
Straighten out all roots in natural order,
fill in with best, fine, moist earth, and then
tread down thoroughly, watering, if dry
before filling up, Then mulch--that is
cover the earth two feet each way from
stems with coarse manure or straw two
inches deep. Always put corn, or some
hoed crop, and never grass or grain among
young trees. All trees and plants in grassy
yards, and dwarf trees also, must hav,
special care. Wash the bodies of appl,
trees in spring with strong soap suds
Kill off the caterpillars and leaf rollers
Let fruit trees head low--within three o.
four feet of and evorgreens from, tn,
ground, Let everybody plant trees, an,
take care OF them"

board where the bees will have free access
to it. They will suck the feed through

perhaps easier by using an upright tin or
wooden box with float in it. 1t should
be set in the top of the hive. Each hive
should weigh at least thirty lbs in addition

DIR. NUlcker in commenting on these
remarkable results, states that the cows
in September were out in "a pasture,
poor and overstocked, so that the daily
growth of grass furnished hardly food
enough TO meet the daily waste to which
the animal frame is subject, and was not
calculated TO meet an extra demand for
materials for the formation of curd and
butter" In October, "on account of the
deficiency of the heritage, the COWS were
In the evening driven into the stall and
there supplied with hay, roots and meal
The milk became better at once for the
moping's milk then contained 1919 per-
cent, of solid matter, and in this nearly 4
per cent. OF butter. The doctor does
not mean exactly what he says. II was
not the solid matter that contains per
cent of butter, but the milk ITSELF The
solid matter contains over 81 per cent. of
butter. The concentrated food which the
cows were fed at evening was clearly made
into good rich milk during the night"
In regard to whether 1t is best to allow
the COWS TO run in the pasture during the
night, or to shut them up in the barn.
yard, there is difference of opinion. But
we apprehend the present custom arose
from the greater convenience of having
the cows In the yard ready To milk I'm the
morning, instead of having to go through
the wet grass, or sometimes into the
woods, in search of them. We think
there can be but little doubt that they
would do better in good pasture during
the night than in pen. A better plan
however, is to feed them in the yard.
This is n standing argument for feeding
low---say all the straw and hay they viii
eat, with few nubbins of corn, five ol
six weeks before they come in. There car
be little doubt that, rs a general rule, cowi
are not fed high enough during the win
ter to afford the best results during sum
mer. A COW kept In n comfortable anC
well ventilated stable, with abundance o
nutritious food will be healthier and bet
ter able 10 stand the strain ON her consti
tuition at calving, then if kept on n low
diet; and there can be but little doub
that, with COW of the right sort, all tn,
fat that is accumulated while she is dry
will find its way to the pail during the
summer in the form of butter. In tn,
dairy districts wintcring cow is eXpen
,, sive, even ON the poorest description o
food and It Is short.sighted policy TO stin
her, as we thus lose the whole benefit o
her existence during several months Iii
Just rs important To feed her well whil,
she is dry us while she is giving milk. o
! course the matter may be oycrdone, espe
Cially with cows not adapted to high feed
b ing, but rs general rule, there is yer,
little danger in this direction, ,-Am, Agri
