THE STOCK LAW.

The time of year, when the stock
law is enforced, is now ut hand,
and like almost all laws, ii is de-
fcctivc. tits very seriously defect
i've. 1t requires the party damaged
by stock, to catch the stock, keep
it up and notify the owner that ii
is kept up. The question Of dam
ages, also, is sometimes not easily
settled.
1t is a very difficult matter to
catch stock. Suppose man has a
small corn patch, he will not have
three or four hands around, to catch
stock, that may be damaging his
property. lie cannot catch them
by himself, and after he docs catch
them, if by any chance he should
do so, he has no place to keep them
while the owner is making up his
mind to come for them.
1t is considered unncighborly
also, to take up stock belonging to
friends or acquaintance, and
thought small to take the amount
of damages sustained. Many peo-
pie prefer to sufferin silence, rather
than go through all the trouble and
annoyance, required to get a dollar
damages for several dollars worth
of worry. The proper way to frame
the law, would be to make the OWL
cr of the stock have all the trouble,
and annoyance, and worry, attend
ant upon the damage caused by the
stock. Don't make the sufferer,
suffer more, but make the party
causing the suffering, to be the one
that has all the difficulty in the
matter. Next week the stock law
will be published in the TIMES and
attention is called to it's defects,
and the hardships involved in the
endeavor 10 raise anything, where
stock are permitted to run at large
by owners who choose to take
chances, on the stock getting into
mischief.

A Mulhattan Story.

a report comes from Chico of 4
mother who was sewing on her ma
chine, while her son, Il lad of s,
was playing with his toys near by.
Suddenly the machine needle snap.
ped and the mother stopped and
replaced it with another. Present
ly she glanced toward the child
and saw blood trickling down his
neck. Upon going to him he was
found to be dead. 1t seems the
broden part of the needle flew with
such force as to enter the child's
medulla Oblongata and he died
without a motion or a sound.-San
Francisco Cali.
An old settler who knows Latin,
remarked upon reading the above,
that he couldn't "sce how a needle
entering an oblong medal, could
kill a child" and declined to be-
lleve the story at all.

When living in that section some

not do for that country. Some of
the natives also said Berwick Bay

His First Salmon, Too.
From the Lewiston fMe.l Journal !


"To illustrate fsherman's luck, -
said Mr.. Skiliings, 4 will tell you an
incident that happened while our party
were fishing for those big salmon at
Metapediac, in New Brunswick, not
long ago. One of our party was a
greenhorn who had never caught a sal
mon IN his life. We sent him up on a
beach and told him to cast his fly in
the pool there, while we went out in
our canoes. At supper time he had
not returned and we were much wor-
ried about him. We had decided to
start after him when he marched into
camp with a forty-two pound salmon
hung on stick over his shoulder-the
fsh's tail dragging on the floor. 1t
was the biggest salmon 1 ever saw.
"'How did you get him p we demand
ed excitediy. He said he was casting
from the beach, when he thought his
line became entangled in snag. Soon
this 'snag' leaped out of the water. 1t
was forty-Uwo pound salmon. L
raced him up and down the beach half
a mile for six hours, said he. well,
but how in the world did you land
him p we asked excitedly. He had no
GAIT and no one to help him. We'll,
said he, I notiaed along toward night
that the fish acted tired. 7 drew him
as near the shore as I could, made my
line fast to sapling, waded into the
water, took the fish in my arms and
tossed him up on the bank The
most novel way of catching salmon
[ ever heard OF course, if the big fish
had not been about dead he could not
have landed him in this way.
'fBut the curious part OF this story
is yet to come. One of our party had
struck big fish in the pool a day or
two previous. Examining this sal
mons mouth he found his fly and
broken hook in it. Science had lost
the big fish and luck had taken him."

fer none of the disagreeable results
which follow too rapid transition
from dry to green food.
FROM careful researches in Russia.
Kowalewski has found that cereals
grow faster in the North than in the
South. For instance, oats and spring
wheat take 1913 days and barley ITO
to ripen about the southern province
of Kherson, and only ninety-eight,
Lightweight and ninety eight DAVIS at
Arkhanglesh in the North. The inter
mediate regions show intermediate
differences. The cause is the greater
length of the daily exposure to sun
light in the high latitudes, which more
than compensates for the difference in
temperature in favor of the southern
regions. In each latitude the growth
OF cereals is more rapid in the eastern
part Of Russia than in the western.
the band near the coast having less
sunshine than that in the continents
interior.
PEPPER grows in punches like hops,
on a creeping vine. 1t is planted at
the foot Of banyan or bread fruit
trees, SO that it may climb up among
the branches. 1t grows best in a damp
soil. The berries are picked by hand
IN january and July, just before they
rlpen. They are dried On mats in the
sun, or in kilns with a slow fire, and
this wrinkles the surface. Then thew
are placed in watts of sea-water, which
stands in the hot sun until it nearly
bolls. The light weight and imperfect
Hnof to hn
skinned off. They form an inferior
grade. The heavier ones sink to the
bottom: To make white pepper they
are trodden under foot until the dark
outer skin comes off. Contrary to
general belief, the white pepper thus
formed is less pungent than the black
where the skin is left on.
TRAVELLING backwards in these 60
ahead days is not much the custom,
but nevertheless it is often q sensible
thing to do. Some people are daft on
'new." They are always seeking for
something ''new." Some new pillow or
new project eternally racks their
brains. The other set stand still. 1t
is best to go ahead and often to look
behind. 1t is absurd that the expert
ences of the past are not worth con-
sideration. Our fathers made pork
when pork was only four and five dol
lars a hundred pounds, and made q
profit at it. Would it not be well to
go back and study their methods.
They did it with potatoes and peas,
or peas and oats. We cannot raise
the big crops OF potatoes now that
they did-four and five hundred bush
els per acre-but we can raise man
gels, and we can grow just as large
crops OF oats and peas. We have too
much laziness now to take all this
trouble and so fall back on corn, and
make our pork cost, quite often, more
than we get for it.-FOrest, Forge and
Farm.

A Horse That Prefers Music to Oats
From the New York Tribune I

From the New York Tribune
'"There's q horse that would rather
listen to music than eat, ;" said driver
OF a Brooklyn livery coach team,
pointing to a bright-eyed, Roman
nosed, shapely nag. "The way l found
1T out is this: feed my team at 4
o'clock in the afternoon to be ready
for evening calls. Then L go home for
half an hour for my own supper.
Well, usually he would have his mess
all eaten up clean when Igot back; but
once a week | would find his oats I'M
touched, or that he had just begun to
feed. 1t puzzled me for a number of
weeks; but one day I happened to stay
at the stable all of the afternoon, and
then [ found out what was the matter.
Our boss who lives next door to the
stable has disabled child, and one of
the amusements hegives her is to have
some of these italian street musicians
come and play under her window for
twenty minutes or so, when the little
girl throws them a quarter. This
makes them come very regularly. On
the afternoon | spoke of they were
there, and just as they struck up that
horse, whose stall is near the door,
turned his head and seemed to listen
as attentively as a person. One day
the boss asked me why didn't feed at
the right time. | told him the mu-
s1clans had been around; and related
what had discovered. He seemed to
doubt the story, so to prove it to him
took q harmonica from my pocket,
an experiment [ had tried before, and
played several lively tunes. The horse
took his head out of the manger and
kept up, with ears cooked and nostrils
wide, until l stopped. odd OPERA as
we call him, has become curiosity OF
the neighborhood, and has quite an
audience whenever the band comes
around"

The Eighth OF His Name.
From the Ansonia (Ct0 Sentinel.

From the Ansonia (Ct.) Sentinel
History relates that about 25Oyears
ago William Fowler, with few asso-
ciates recently arrived from England,
were travelling onfoot from New Haven
along the coast under the pilotage OF
Sergt. Thomas Tibbals, prospect
ing, when on reaching the mouth Of the
Wopowage River, Milford, they were
struck with the superior advantages
and facilities for establishing a mill,
and Mr.. Fowler determined to secure
them, and forthwith commenced and
soon completed the erection of the
first mill built in the colony of New
Haven. The mill soon became widely
known and acquired such reputation
and was OF such Importance to the
whole community that upon it's being
injured by freshet in the winter OF
1915, it was voted in general court"
that every man should help Mr.. Fow-
Ter repair the mill. Since that day
nine generations have successfully con
Quoted its operations, and to-day the
eighth William Fowler has completed
the fifth mill in succession on the pre-
else spot so timely discovered by his
ancestor.
