The Black Bears Cunning.

In THE Century for March, Charles
G. Ward has an entertaining illustrated
article on .'The Black Bear" in which
he describes Bruins haunts in Maine.and
New Brunswick, relates several hunting
incidents, and depicts Bruins peculiari-
ties, in part as follows:
] really think that Brun possesses the
sense of humor; at all events his actions
point that way, and there is no doubt
that he is extremely cunning and observ
ing. | once had an English friend visit.
ing me, who played the flute lie was
in the habit of marching up and down,
while playing, near tame bear had at
the time. The bear had piece of stick
about two feet long, which he tossed
came to handle the atick very much as
my friend did his flute This annoyed
my sensitive friend, and in revenge he
teased the bear with uncouth noises
Bruiu shifted and whined, and waited
his opportunity for delivering a tremen-
dous blow with his paw at his enemy,
whose tall hat was knocked completely
over his eyes. He escaped being scaIped
by dropping fiat and rolling out of the
reach of the bear. This bear spent much
of his time in the tree to which he was
chained, and when climbing usually got
his cham twisted over and under the
branches in most intricate manner, but
never failed to take out every turn as he
descended. A friend who owned a
tame bear told me that, for long time,
he could not account for the mysterious
way in which the poultry disappeared,
Observing, at different times, good
many feathers around Bruins pole, he
began to suspect that the bear was the
culprit Close watching confirmed his
suspicious. When Bruin thought he
was unobseryed, he would seize any un
fortunate hen or chicken within his
reach and devour it; but if any one APP
preached before he could complete the
meal, he would sit upon his prey until
the danger of discovery had passed. He
was betrayed, at last, by the cackling of
an old hen, that he had failed TO silence.

The First Calf.

1t is oftener the case when heifer has
her first calf, says the Indiana Farmer,
that the farmer thinks she will not give
more milk than will keep her calf in
good condition and lets them run togeth-
er to teach her the mystery of being
MIXED when she has her next calf. In
this decision there are two mistakes that
go far to spoil the COW for future useful
ness. Cows are largely the creatures of
habit, aud with their first calf everything
is new and strange to them, and they
readily submit to being MIXED, and
think it is all right, but suffer them to
run with the calf the first season and a
vicious habit is established that they will
hardly forget in lifetime. If they ever
submit to be MIXED quietly, it is evident
ly under protest. But there is a greater
objection than this The calf running
with the COW draws tae milk every hour
or two, so that the milk vessels are at no
time distended with milk, though the
quantity secreted in a given time may
be large, But that is the natural time
to distend the milk ducts and expand
the udder to good capacity for holding
milk When, with her next calf, you
require the milk to be retained twelve
hours the udder bee )mes hard aud pain
full and the milk leaks from the teats, or,
more likely, nature accommodates the
quantity of the milk secreted to the ca
pacity to retain it, and the COW becomes
permanently small mixer. Much OF
the future character of COW therefore
depends on her treatment with her first
calf

A Mexican Generals Bride,

When the French sought to establish
monarchy in Mexico,a Mazatlan youth
raised regiment of boys and waged
against such of the invaders as appeared
in Sinola warfare that told The
young mans father was of Castilian
blood and his mother was a Mexican.
His name, Corona, soon became famous,
and at the age of 20 he was regarded as
the Mosby of Mexico. AT the end of
the war he was Major General, the
hero of the soldiers and the idol of MAJ
allan society. He was six feet tall,
broad shouldered, handsome aud daring.
While attending ball at the American
hotel, in Mazatlan, he stumbled over a
domestic, knocking tray from her
hand, STOPPING to pick up the crock

girl was very pretty and very saucy.
She told him that her name was Betty
Bowman, that her mother was a San
Francisco washerwowan, and that he
ought TO know better than TO rush head
long down dark stairway. Corona
made love to the American Miss, and
before leaving for the capital he had
learned of her ireproachable though
humble life. Once away, Bettys face

To Get Good Butter in Winter.

The american CHtiUdtor says one
great cause OF poor butter in the winter
time is that the hay is not properly
made in June. 1t is essential to preserve
the aromatic oils grass possesses, and
this must be done by cutting grass be.
fore it has stood too long, and not leav-
ing it exposed to the hot sun afterwards.
No substitute has yet been discovered
for the aromatic oils. Once lost to the
hay they are gone forever. Hence,
greater effort should be made by every
dairyman to secure his hay in condition
favorable to the preservation of the val
liable element. With such hay, fed in
combination with the orange carrots, and
with pumpkins, with couple of quarts
of Indian meal daily, little need would
be found for artificial coloring or little
complaint experienced from tasteless
butter. Linseed meal gives colorto but
ter, though its flavor in this connection
is unpleasant. Cotton-seed meal does
not give so fine grain to butter as In
dian meal; neither does it equal the lat
ter in flavor produced Attractive pack
ages of fresh butter in winter as well as
during other seasons of the year, are
daily coming more in demand in city
markets, and by class of people. who
are willing to pay an extra price for
such products Especially to the New
England and New York dairymen this
is matter of Importance, since it is
likely to be the most rcmunerative
branch of dairying, and the only one be-
yond the reach of Western competition.
Smaller farmers, not too far removed
from city or village markets, will find in
the production of fine, fresh, well flavor
ed butter, field in which they can COM
pete successfully with the larger dairies
and still more pretentious creameries.
One of the best darymen in Vermont
says: 81 have come to the conclusion,
after seven years experience in the feed
ing of meal every day to such of my COWS
as were giving milk, that in future /
would feed more meal instead of less.
believe that when the cows have been
properly selected. and are of breed
that are reliable as to butter qualities,
1t amounts to 4 certainty that all who
feed them above what is required to
sustain their bodies will be returned to
us in butter, with large profit on the
Investment. AT the same time care
should be exercised not to over-feed.

The Farming We Need.

"A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says; The time has come
when nothing but high farming will pay
IN this section of the country, since the
cheap and fertile lands of the West are
brought into such close and sharp com
petition cheap freights and rapid transit.
Old habits which are not now paying
much to be abandoned, and newer and
better paying ones adopted Every acre
OF tillable land must be made to yield its
treasure with the least possible expense.
When one hundred bushels of corn per
acre can be produced, we must now be
satisfied with fifty bushels. If a new
implement can DO the work of two men
with an old one, the old one should be
laid away and the new one used. If
there is not manure enough to 90 all
over the common ground, we must buy
some well.tried fertilizer that will in
crease the product. 1t is all folly to con
tinue to farm poor land when It is posi-.
bic to enrich it. The expense of farm
ing poor land is far greater than that
attending richer land is aud the labor
more discouraging. There must be more
general attention given to dairy products,
the cultivation of small fruits aud rails
ing of poultry. The old system of pas
turage will have to give way before the
onward march of soilng and the non.
fencing system. The road master, with
his gang of full hands and half grown
boys, must yield to the new road scraper
and smoother. To which we may add
that the time has arrived, even in our
neighboring counties, where more sys-
tematic method and higher farming arc
expedient in order to produce satisfac
tory results On our best bottom land
the old corn and hay and clOvermethods
may yet satisfy the farmer, but even he
could experience benefit by needing the
admonitions of the above extract.

Asphalt Companies in Court.

John S. Baldwin, to the use OF Baldwin
& Wright, yesterday filed a bill i'll equity,
through their solicitors, Messrs. Ross &
Dean. against the Grahamite & Trinidad
Asphalt Pavement Company, the New
York & Trinidad Asphalt Company and
others. The bill sets forth that on April
Is, 1880, the plaintiffs securcd Il Judgment
against the Grahamite & Trinidad Asphalt
Company for S22, 1862. at the date of the
institution of the suit, aud was issued
against ID. w. Middleton, who as trustee
held certain effects and funds belonging to
the company, under a chattel deed of trust
from which he was afterward released and
on November 90, 1881, an attachment was
issued oil behalf of plaintiffs suit. The
answer disclosed that the deed of trust had
been TO secure Middleton & Wilson against
the attachment bond and to secure Messrs.
Shellabarger & Wilson the sum of 81 $50.
The answer further showed that the
trustee had, under the deed of trust, sold
quantity of asphalt and realized S7,i97 10,
and that on November 10, 1880, the suit of
Wood q Co. was compromised, and balance
of S5,9S7.15 left in the hands of the garni-
shee, subject to the assignment. They claim
that when the assignment was made to the
New York company, the Grahamite &
Trinidad Company was insolvent, with
liabilities aggregating over $4,000, aud the
plaintiff, $25,000 but the assignment to
Libbey, Bartlett & Kimball for S1,j00 was
made at a time When they were stockhold-
ers in the company, and that the so-called
assignment to the New York company was,
in effect, the same as the original company.
The plaintiffs aver that the assignment and
subsequent assignments were fraudulent as
against the plaintiff, a bona-fde creditor,
and asked that they be declared null aud
void and the lien of the plaintiff be enforced
upon the funds in the hands of ID. w. Mid.
dleton.

The Protective Encc, of vaccination

London Time s, Dec. %.
DIR. Henry Tomkins, medical supcriu-
tendent OF the Fever Hospital belonging to
the Manchester Royal Infirmary at Mousall,
i'll paper which he read recently at Owens
College, said: 1.-THE most striking of all
| evidence is. perhaps. that derived from the
smallpox hospitals themselves. Here the
| protective idfuence of vaccination is proved
in a manner beyond all cavil. At Highgate,
during an experience Of forty years, no
nurse or servant having been revaccinated
has ever contracted the disease, and evidence
of the same character | can myself bring
forward for during the whole time that
Lave had charge of the fever hospital, more
than thousand cases of smallpox have
Passed under my care, yet no servant, nurse,
Porter or other person engaged there has,
after reyaccination, ever taken 1T, though
| exposed daily to infection in its most
concentrated form. One woman, laun,
dress, who escaped vaccination, took the
disease and died one nurse, who some
ycals before had suffered from smallpox,
and was then considered protected, had
very mild attack ard this summer work
man, who did not live on the premises, but
came in to work as painter, was not vac
cinated and had rather severe attack, and
still more recently q servant, who by an
oversight was allowed to go about her work
three days before being vaccinated, had,
before the latter had run its course, a slight
abortive attack. Again, among all the stu
dents who, during the past two years, have
attended the hospital forsclinical instruc-
tion, not one have suffered, all having been
revaccinated before being permitted to en-
ter the smallpox wards. And in their case
the false argument which opponents of vac.
enation have brought forward to explain
the immunity enjoyed by nurses aud 9th
eTs in attendance on the sick, viz. that
constant intercourse and exposure to infec-
tion renders them proof against il by
the system becoming Injured to the poison
cannot be applied, as these gentlemen at
tend the hospital only Il few hours once a

9 \ conscientious of anti-yaccinators TO bring

tion, or to bring forward even half a dozen
persons, choose them whence he may, who
have not been protected against small
