THERE is no farm work. considering
the outlay. that pays 50 large dividends
as the procuring Of some sort of bed
ding for the cattle, for il not only keeps
them clean-a great point in itself but
also promotes their growth and thrift
ness. and the additional accumulation
for the manure pile will more than pay
for the labor. There is usually a large
amount Of litter that goes 10 waste. that
II thus utilized would be of great serv-
ice. Straw. oats, cut corn butts. ETC.,
are valuable. and fine sand is not OBJ
iectiOnable. for in itself il j. one of the
most cleanlv Of beds. and rs ii is a large
absorber ef liquids. and j. Of real BEN
eft to clay land. there is no solid reason
why a few loads Of il may not be Judi
ciously used. A farmer Of III %acquaint-
ance late IN the fall takes his trucks,
puts in long stakes, and makes a four
foot deep box and gathers forest leaves.
One man gathers them with rake and
basket, and another treads them into
the basket. These leaves are stored
away in an unused stable. and what
can be crowded into a bushel basket
makes q fine bed for a stable Of cows
for a couple of nights, and are fine alb
sorbents. There Is no farmer but that
can provide bedding Of some kind, and
also have dry, wholesome stables for
his cattle, and. IL he consults his inter-
ests. and once fully tests the value Of
plenty Of bedding, he will always in the
future practice bedding his cattle and
stock.

At no period can he be honestly called
q handsome or . graceful animal. but
his courage and tenacity Of life demand
our respect
In point OF teeth the tame pig has
sadly deteriorated. The wild boar d
India. which is the type Of the barbaric
pig Of all ages, Is armed with long semi
circular tusks. Those in the lower
jaw sometimes attain the length OF
eight or nine inches. They curve out
ward and upward. and the edges are
kept sharp by the pigs constant habit
OF securing them against the tusks Of
the upper jaw. The sw.ftness and
power with which he uses those tusks
TO carve an enemy are almost incred-
ible. A hunting-dog is frequently cut
nearly in two BY a single stroke Of
\ boar's tusks. and horses and men
are occasionally killed BY bears which
have become tired Of being hunted.
and which try to infuse a little variety
into the affair by hunting their enc
mics. When wounded he Is an exceed

unless the hunter Is a lawless ruff

CINE an E~ngliSaman so lost to all

Indian estimation, the loathsome. out

A LARGE and handsome whooping
stork. says the Council Bluffs Nonpariel,
can be seen daily strutting around the
yard at the residence Of Prof. Paige in
this city. The elongated bird was pur-
chased by the professor during q visit
TO Mexico some months since and has
become quite tame. Among other food
that the stork relishes is a nice fat
mouse. Mrs. Paige has a small wire
trap in the house, and whenever a mouse
happens ( wander therein he becomes
a sweet morsel for his storkship. The
other day Mrs. Paige noticed the bird
standing near the barn watching in
tently al a small hole leading beneath
the building. The stork remained in
an attitude of watchfulness for nearly
half an hour. and Mrs. Paige, becoming
curious. concluded TO watch and see
what followed. Finally she saw a
mouse creep into sight from under the
barn. and the same instant the intelli-
gent stork pounced down on the mouse
and : took him in" killing it first and
then eating il. After performing this
intelligent feat. the stork resumed his
vigilance AZ the mouse hole. and after
watching sharply for over IN hour
seemed to grow weary OF his work or
ret out Of patience. and marching to
the house entered the kitchen. and
picking up the mousc-trap. from which
he had so often been fed. he returned
TO the barn and set the trap down near
the hole. evidently approaching the use
of the trap. and believing that il would
catch a mouse for him III anyone has
got q brighter bird than that we would
ike TO hear from it.
