Desperate Encounter with a Wolf.

Near the village of Fratel, ON the
frontier of Spain and Portugal,
Theresa Maria, who was Carving.
her husbands dinner to him In the
fields, was told by a little shepherd
boy that wolf was prowling about
the place. Wishing to see one for
the first time in her life, she put
down her basket and clim bed I'D to
high place 10 which the boy di.
reoted her. There she saw the an
imal in the act of devouring a
lamb. The shepherd boy began
shouting and throwing stones, to
see whether 1t would let 60 its prey;
and the wolf In its fury then at.
tackled the poor little fellow, Jump
ing up at his face, tearing the flesh
from his jaws, and throwing him
to the ground. The woman, seeing
the boys Imminent danger, In an
impulse of heroic self-devotion. ran
on the wolf unarmed, seized tipht
hold of him, and then, after struQ.
gle, contrived to blind him with a
stone, and eventually killed him.
Meanwhile the boy whom she had
rescued ran, wounded as he was, to
seek help In the village. While
several villagers were coming 10,
armed with guns, stones and sticks,
to kill the beast and save the woman
from Its fangs, she was returning
to the village covered with blood,
and with her arms, hands aud face
terribly wounded. She said that at
times she was on the point of being
overcome, but contrived to keep the
animals throat In the close hold of
her left arm, while hitting him
hard on the head with stone
which she was able to pick up. She
was taken to the Mia hospital. A
month afterward she died there of
her wounds, and the shepherd boy
has since died Of hydrophobia.

Take Care of the Implements.

= ~ y.
The season has now arrived when
most implements and machinery used
on the farm should be carefully put
away till wanted next spring. Much OF
the most costly machinery, such as NOW.
ers and reaping machines, should have
been carefully cleaned, oiled and stored
away In dry place, weeks ago; but If
not already attended to, no time should
be lost in doing so. Take the machines
apart, scrape, wash and wipe all parts
clean and dry, oil and store carefully
away In dry house where they will
not be disturbed All nuts, bolts and
email parts should be tied fast with pieces
Of strong twine to the large attachments
where they belong, to secure them from
being. lost. Wheat drills, where seeding
is finished, should be treated in like
manner, and all smaller farm implements,
such as plows, harrows, cultivators,
rakes, forks, shovels, when not in use,
should come in for the same care. Some
farmers will allege that they have not
storage room for their machinery and
farm tools, as an excuse for leaving
them lying about exposed To the effects
Of the weather. This is not a-valid ex-
cuse. No man should spend his money
for costly farm tools before he has pro-
vided dry storehouse to keep them in
when not in use. The loss to farmers
from neglect of machinery and imple-
ments is immense. One winter's expo
sure of costly machine to. the effects
Of the weather is more disastrous than
i've seasons OF careful use.

Biting Colts.

The true way to bit colt is not to
bit him at all that is let him bit himself
When my colts are one year old, 1 begin
to teach them to hold . bit in their
mouth. The bit is Of pine, some half
inch in diameter and Eve inches in
length. This piece Of soft wood is held
10 the mouth by cord tied, TO either
end and passed over the head back of
the ears, The colt loves TO have this
in his mouth, because it enables him to
bring forward the teething process. He
will bite 1t and work it over his mouth,
and enjoy it hugely.
He will welcome it, and actually reach
out and open his mouth Tor it, as train
ed horse will for . bit. After q few
days you can tie strings, make miniature
reigus to the bit, and teach the colt the
proper use Of it. When this is done he
is ready for the regular steel bit. Put
your bride on with leather bit, large
and plant; throw your checkline, If your
bride has one attached, into the pigsty ;
get into your wagon and drive Of.
This is all the shifting" colt needs.
Treated ia this way. he will have 4
lively, yielding, sensitive mouth. He
will take the bit bravely when working
up to his speed, but yield readily to the
drivers will. A horse bitted in this sen-
sible way can be driven a forty clip with
the lines held in one hand, or be lifted
over five-barred gate with the strength
Of single wrist. II you do not believe
| it, try and see.

How to Preserve Posts.

Experience shows that, IN respect to
the well-known methods of preserving
posts and wood which are partly imbed-
ded in The earth by charring and coating
with tar, complete effectiveness is insur-
ed only when both operations are en-
lployed. Should the posts only be char
red, without the subsequent treatment
with tar, the charcoal formation on the
surface can only act as an absorber OF
the moisture, and, if anything, the decay
is only hastened 1t is found that, by
applying coating of tar without pre-.
yious cbarring, the tar cen only form q
casing about the wood, nor will it pene-
trste to the depth which the absorbing
properties of charcoaled surface would
insure. Experience proves that wood
that is exposed to the action of water,
or let into the ground, should first be
subjected to charring, and then, before
it has entirely cooled, be treated with
tar until the wood is impregnated in the
most thorough manner. BY proceeding
in this manner, the acetic acid and oils
contained in the tar are evaporated by
the heat, and only the resin left behind,
which penetrates the pores of the wood
and forms an air-tight and waterproof
envelop. II is found important that the
posts be impregnated somewhat above
the line OF exposure, as it is there that
the action of decay affects the wood
first.

The Tobacco Crop.

Mr.. John BradfeId, our leading TO-
batco dealer, informs Us that the crop
this year will be about one-half that OF
last year. In the Eastern Ohio district,
last year, there were about sixteen thou.
sand hogshesds, while the crop for the
present year is estimated at about eight
thousand The quality. as far as can be
ascertained- so early in the season, is
very little, il any, better than last year
The price will vary but little from that
Of last year. Some bright air-cured to.
baccos win bring little more, but tue
price for ordinary grades will be about
the same. Mr. Brad6eld considers |:
fortunate that the dry weather proven.
ted the planting Of full crop. The
hest foreign markets for Ohio tobacco
are England and France The English
market is overstocked. France has q
contract for three thousand hogsbeads,
but after this is taken. there will still be
over three thousand hoesheads of old
stock on the market. This, With the
new crop Of eight thousand hogsheads
will leave over eleven thousand hogs
