Os;er Willow.

The cultivation of the basket willow
has been undertaken . number of times
in the United States, but each time
abandoned from the fact that American
labor could not compete with the cheap
labor of women and children in Europe
in peeling and preparing the shoots.
The value Of osier imported into this
country is about $4,000, 900 annually.
and it sells at from slOO to $50 per
ton. The cost Of raising , from $50 to
$40 q ton, and the product varies from
one to four tons to the acre. To ra se
i Ee so,l should be deep, we'll drained

Months. The osiers are 1sopagated by
cuttings in rows three feet apart. The
ground should I've kept clean OF weeds.

The shoots for market are sometimes
cut in November. and from that time to
April are equally good. After cutting
they are tied in bundles, and the lower

How Bears Fish.

Very few people know that bears
bake to water naturally. They roam
over the mountains and throug gh the
forests, dig open rotten logs for ants
and worms, and secure all the hornets
nests they can, and tear them to pieces
and eat the young grubs, pick berries
of all descriptions and eat them, anu
would seem to belong to the dry-land
animals.
The fac: is different. They love the
water, not, perhaps. as well as the
mouse and deer. but better than most
dry-land animals.
They are very fond of fish, and are
expert fishermen, and show more cum
ming and instinct, if not reason, than
many city chaps have seen about the
lakes
ceinc suddenly upon very large
bear in thick swamp, lying upon
large hollow log across brook, fish
ing, and he vas SO much Interested in
his sport that he did not notice me ua-
til l had approached very near to him,
so that l could see exactly how he
baited his look and PLAYED his fish. He
fished in this wise: There was \ larre
hole through the long on which lie lay
and he thrust his forearm through tho
hole and held his open paw in the water
and waited for the fish to gather around
and onto it. and.when full he cIu:ched
his fist and brought up q bandru! Of
fish and sat and ate them with great
gusto; then down with the paw again
and SO on.
The brock was fairly alive with little
trout and red-siled suckers and some
black suckers, SO the old fellow let
himself out On the fishes. He did not
eat Their heads There y:as quite pile
OF them on the log. suppose the oil
IN his paw attracted the fish and taited
them even better than fy-hcok, and
his toe-nails we're his hooks, and sharp
ones too, and once grabbed, the fish are
sure to stay.
They also catch frogs in these forest
brooks, and drink Of the pure water in
hot summer days, and love to lie and
wallow in the muddy swamps, as we'll
as our pigs in the mire.
They often cross narrow places in
lakes by swimming, and also rivers, and
seem to love to take a turn in the water.
l once saw one swimming from the
mainland to the big Island in Moose
lucmagantic Lake, with Just streak of
his back out of tho water, looking like
o log moving along. Sometimes you
see only their hea<s ont of the water;
at other times half of their bodies are
to be seen. We account for this differ
ence by their condition. If fat, the
grease helps buoy them up; if lean they
sink lower in the water.-Lewist0a
