4 MOyKIY TRAP.

An old, hard cocoanut is taken and Z
very small hole made in the she'll. Fur
nj shed with this and a pccketfull of boiled
rice, the sportsman sallies into the forest
and stops beneath tree teDaoted By mon
KEYS. Within full sight of these fnquisi-
tive spectators he eats little rice and
puts quantity into the cocoanut with all
the ostentation possible. The nut is then
laid upon the ground and the hunter re-
tires TO a convenient ambush. The reader
may be sure that no sooner is the man out
Of sight than the monkeys race heller skel-
ter for the cocoanut The first arrival
peeps into it. and, seeing the plentiful
store Of rice inside. squeezes his hand
in through the tiny hole and clutches a
handful. Now, 20 paramount is greed
over every other feeling connected with
monkey nature. that nothing will induce
the creature to relinguish his hold. With
his hand thus clasped he cannot possibly
extract it: but the thought that if he lets
90 one Of his brethren will obtain the feast
IS overpowering. The sportsman soon
appears upon the scene: the unincum-
bered monkeys fly in all directions, but
the unfortunate brute who will still not
let the rice 90. is thereby handicapped be-
yond hope with cocoanut as large as
himself-a state of affairs quite fatal to
rapid locomotion, either terrestrial or ar
boreal. The sequel is that he falls an ca
sy captive to the hrhter, a victim to his
own greed. Even when caught. he reads
in the action Of his captor design to rob
him of his rice. and he clutches it all the
harder, and the very first thing be does
wnen the nut is cracked and he is released
is to cram the contents into his mouth.
Thoughts Of escape come afterward.-

The most successful apple growers.

no better remedy for codlng moth than
to pasture hogs in the orchard. to eat the

Butter dealers claim that the standard
Of first-class butter is getting higher every
year. and what would readily sell tor a
choice article u few years ago is now put
down rs second or third rate. Very few
dairy lots now coming in from Vermont
or New York run even. and alter selecting
two or three tubs from an invoice. the

makers answer this question?
A report in the Massachusetts Plough
man is given as follows: Mr.. Nelson. of
Marshland. has been feeding herd Of
thirty steers the past winter. A part of
them were fed on ensilage and a part on
hay. Some of those that had been ted on
ensilage became SO fat that they were sold
for beet, and others are fat enough for the
butchers. while those that have been fed
on hay are only in q fair condition. Here
would seem to be positive evidence of the
great fattening qualities of ensilage; but
investigation discloses the fact that the
steers that were ted on ensilage had each
been fed with from one to three quarts of
cotton seed meal per day, while those fed
on hay have had none. This reminds MS
of q statement Of feeding hogs on ensi-
lage, and how we'll they did. One who
visited the place Afterwards found we'll
furnished meal-troughs contiguous to the
pig-styes.
