CurlOns SHOW Of Bovine IntellIgence

Frank Wilkeson writes as follows in
the Providence Sunday Star: l owned
sixty-five acres of bottom land where the
coarse, blue joint grass grew in cane
brake like rankness. My Texas cows
chose this dense cover in which to bring
forth their young. One spring knew
that there were over twenty calves con-
tinually hidden in the grass on this bot
tom. Every morning COW after COW
would slip out Of the herd and disappear
in the tall grass. After an absence Of an
hour or two, they would return to the
herd. In the late afternoon they would
again disappear, to rejoin the herd just
about corralling time. When the calves
were three or four days old, their moth
ers would bring them out into the herd,
and their places in the grass would be
occupied by younger calves. Once de-
sired to see the young calves, and rode
into the grass to hunt for them. After
an assiduous search / found one calf
lying prone on the earth, with its head
and neck extended and pressed into the
thick mat of old grass that lay on the
ground. The little creature lay perfectly
quiet watching my horse. 1t did not
so much as wink its dark eyes
when / dismounted and extended
my hand toward it. / leaned over it. 1t
watched me intently, but did not stir. I
dropped my hand on its head. Instantly
it was on its feet and calling loudly for
protection, calling that the wolf, its
mother had told of. had come. / heard
twenty mother cows below in answer to
the Calls call that they were coming.
The dry grass snapped and cracked in ali
directions as the maddened cows rushed
wildly to their young. mounted my
horse and quickly rode away from that
spot. Each cow ran in a direct line to
the place where its calf was hidden. The
entire herd rushed into the cover to do
battle for the calf. What an uproar
there was! Cows, steers, bulls, all CALI
ing loudly to one another in angry, ex-
cited tones. / had foolish setter dog
with me, and he had to mix himself into
the trouble. The first COW that saw him
beloved to the others that she saw the
wolf They all pursued him, and he,
doglike, fed to me for protection, and
my own cows gave me brisk chase as /
galloped over the prairie. The herd
were excited and angry for hours. / do
not believe that a young calf has par
ticle of scent, and also believe that the
cows know this to be so. AT any rate,
they are willing to leave their offspring
out of the corrals over night in wolf
infested country, once they have hidden
them and babe them be still.

burning Of Barns.

It is noticed that q large number of
the burnings of barns is mentioned by the
periodical press in summer than at any
other time. Some of the fires are un-
doubtedly caused by lightning, the moist
vapor from the uncured hay making q
favorable conductor for the electric fluid
But there are barn fires which cannot be
attributed to lightning, TO lighting of
matches. TO light from lanterns, nor to
the invasions of careless tramps 1t may
be that the spontaneous combustion Of
hay is as possible as the spontaneous fir
ing of cotton waste. All fihrous material,
when moist and compressed, and de-
Tended from the cooling influences of
the outward air, is subject to heating
similar to that of fermentation; and in
some instances the degree of heat is suf-
ficient to cause actual, visible combustion.
In the case of recently s.curedn hay this
danger is as great as, in similar circum-
stances, other materials may be. Ere
quently the grass is cut in the early morn
ing, while wet with dew; is turned
twice during the day, and gathered and
packed in q 'smown or the s'bayn before
nightfall, with perhaps sparse sprink-
ling of salt Such compressed mass Of
fibTous, moist matter will heat. How
far the heat win 60 toward generating o
combustion may be inferred from fool
ish trick which the writer witnessed sew
eral years ago.

Turpentine in small quantities may be
used with advantage in the laundry, but
resin, which is usually found in soap, is
injurious, discoloring some goods and
shrinking woolens.
A small quantity Of carbolic acid added
to paste, mucilage and ink will prevent
mold. An ounce of the acid to gallon
of whitewash will keep cellars and diaries
from the disagreeable odor which often
taints milk and meat kept in such places.
A solution of oxalic acid has been
used for removing ink stains from cot
ton, linen, or the fingers, but it is at
tended with the danger of injuring tex
tiles and the skin. A much safer and
better treatment of ink or rust stains
consists of the application of two parts
Of powdered cream of tartar and one
part of finely powdered oxalic acid.
Shake up the ingredients well together
and apply the powder with dry rag to
the dampened skin. When the spot has
disappeared the part should be well
washed. To remove ink stains from
paper, make a solution of muriate of tin,
two drachms; water, four drachms. and
apply with camel's hair brush. Cook.

When sod ground has been plowed for
hoed crop the usual tendency Il to
cultivate deeply ito keep the grass
down" But this is unnecessary. If
well plowed the grass roots can only be
revived by light and air penetrating to
the bottom Of the furrow. The very
shallowest cultivation, or merely smooth
ing over the surface, VIII prevent this
even more efEectually than deeper tillage,
which might upturn some of the grass
and thus do as much harm as good.
Passing over the field once in three days
with the smoothing harrow will do as
effectual work as cultivating more deep
". But ii should be repeated as often
IS once q week, or more frequently, II
there are rains to wash the surface and
make holes through which the sod can
get breathing place. After two or
three weeks of this cultivation the sod
will rot sufficiently to make deeper til
lage possible without injury. For kill
ing quack or Canada thistles deeper cul-
tivation is important, but for ordinary
sod, timothy or June grass only shallow
cultivation will be needed oil the season.

The BabOon and the Kitten.

DR.. Alfred E. Brehm tells the follow
ing in the Popular Science Monthly:
took one of these baboons-it was fe-
male-along to my home in Germany, be-
cause she had always proved to be of
extraordinary sagacity, and actually ex-
hibited far greater intelligence than
the average of the countrywomen of
Thuringia, where was living. Apes in
general like other creatures, providing
they submit to their caressing and fond
ling. My baboon at first concentrated
her tenderness upon the children of the
village, but, to her great sorrow, found
no reciprocity. Then she turned to cats
and dogs, and teased and tormented
them in every way. A bright pussy,
which the most Of the time she carried
in her arms, was tired one day Of her
company and attempted to escape. e The
ape strongly objected, and the kitten in
its struggle, scratched her in the shout
der. Gravely the baboon seized one Of
the paws of her pet, examined it care
fully. and finding, probably, the sharp
claws q dangerous superfuity in so small
being, bit them all of, tDne by one.

Ion tcI your lows AOOsb a. e1C AAaAs.
Move the coops Of young chicks oc-
casionally.
Keep apart young and old fowls of the
light brahma variety.
To fatten poultry quickly, feed them
with rice boiled in milk.
Every poultry yard should have at
least pair of guinea fowls in the flock.
Young chickens turned into the gar
den will eat up all the bugs and insects.
Select hens with red combs, bright
eyes, clean nostrils and legs, and that
appear active.
Give your poultry plenty Of run. They
need exercise; give them space and they
will take plenty of it.
Turn once every day all eggs that are
being saved for Matching purposes, other
wise the yolks may set to one side and
adhere to the shell.
The best Enclosure for poultry yards is
the wire fencing. 1t makes pretty ap-
pearance, and at the same time proves
itself of much value.
1t is said that eggs from mature hens
are much better for Matching purposes
than those from young ones, as a larger
proportion of them are likely to prove
I fertile.
On large farm it is rarely necessary
or best to confine fowls in summer. If
given free range they will do as much
good in destroying insects as they can do
Of injury.
Plant ct least one tree in your yard, as
poultry need shade as well as sunshine
Plant plenty OF sunfowers. The seed is
not only relished by fowls but is also
productive of health.
As the ground often becomes hard and
compact, especially after a rain, con-
venicnt mode of making a dust bath is
to spade up few feet of earth, working
it up fine. 1t will serve the purpose ad-
mirably.
Poultry cannot be kept to advantage
unless they have a properly arranged
house for their accommodation. This is
just as necessary to their well being as it
is that horses and cattle should have a
good stable.
Do not throw soft food on the ground,
as gapes and cholera will in time be the
result. Make small troughs, and when
the hens have finished their meal, clean
the troughs thoroughly, washing them
occasionally.
If well-rotted manure is used the potato
plat cannot be fertilized too heavily.
Potatoes require the richest soil on the
farm, and good crop cannot reasonably
be expected unless, beside this, the
ground is heavily fertilized.
The best feed for young chicks till two
weeks old is to make bread by The
use of sour milk. salt. saleratus and mo-
lasses, out of meal made from grain in
the following proportions: Twenty
pounds corn, fifteen pounds oats, ten
pounds barley, ten pounds wheat bran
