winged scaveugers of the South.

The SO called Ju-k.y hU-7a-' is not o
buzzard, but a vulJure. BY insisting
upon this distinction the buzzard tribe
could improve its reputation for cIeanli-
ness. It is against the law In almost
every southern state TO shoot a turkey
buzzaId. There are two excellent rea-
sons for this prohibition the 5uzzards
are the scavengers OF the south, and
there is no telling what soIt Of pesti-
lence a dead turkey buzzard would bring
on if anybody should kill one.
The turkey buzzard is a knowing bird
He knows he is not good TO be eaten
though his knowing this does not imply
that he has superior knowledge and
he IS not shy of mankind He hovers
oTer Che market places in the southern
cities, Visiting for business to close, and
when the crowd Of purchasers has de-
parted the buZZard desceuds and feasts
upon the odds and ends that have fallen
from the butchers and the fishmOngers'
knives. The scarcity Of hash. mince pie
and fish cbOwder in the southern states
is something for which the buzzard
should have credit. In Charleston there
is a big public market down by the
water, and the buzzards always clean
up after business hours.
The wisdom of the turkey buZzard is
known also by one of his expedients for
getting rid Of work. which is fstigueing
in the southern states. He goes 10 the
mouth Of rivers, where the conflicting
forces Of current and tide deposit on the
banks > considerable proportion Of the
carriOn and other Unwholesome things
that are borne toward the sea on the
rivers food, and there he accommodates
his not very fastidious appetite to The
movement Of the tides All animals
that perish inland are found by the buz.
yards. It is even said that focks Of
these birds will hover for days and
nights over 3 horse or COW that is on its
last legs. a northerner was driven out
Of southern Georgia last winter by some
one telling him that the buzzards were
beginning 10 keep an eye on him. Last
summer the sheriff Of q county in Flori-
da disappeared in the woods after hay
Ing loaded up big revolver, and told
bis wife he was going to shoot himself.
Some little effort was made to learn was
made TO earn whether be had kept his
promise. but after day Of searching in
the cypress swamps the searchers sat
down in the shade Of their houses and
said they would wait three days when
the buzZards would find him, and then
they would find the buzzards.
The turkey buzzard, despite his for
m'dable look, is harmless bird. Not
only does be never strike a creature till
1t IS down, but he hardly ever strikes it
till it is dead. -Ne,C York Sun.

Hautles, while travelling in England
made him the object of some practical
jokes, which, however, rather recoiIed
on those designing them. For instance
on one occasion, when seated in p tav-
ern, group Of "bucks'' of the period
honored him with their regards. They
sent the waiter TO him with a gold
watch, belonging to one Of them. with
the request that be would tell the time

the watch, sent his servant TO fetch his
pistols, and with one under each arm
approached his would-be tormentors and
politely requested to be introduced tn

was received in silence. He then put
the watch in his pocket, declaring that

Splitting OF Cabbage Heads.

The HusbUu7nqru recommends the
following TO prevent a very common
trouble with cabbages. Tie remedy is
not new, but is that adopted by nearly
all growers: eff a season Of drought
occurs when the cabbages have begun
to head, the heads will harden prema-
turely, and then, should a heavy rain
fail, the plants will start into a new
growth and many of the heads will split
In consequence. This should be care
fully guarded against by going fire.
quently over the piece while the heads
are setting and starting every cabbage
Of which the head is nearly foImed. A
stout potato hook applied just under
the leaves and pulled to one side suffi-
cient to break the roots slightly will
accomplish what is needed, If after
having been started in this way, some
heads stHl seem inclined to burst, start
these slightly on the other side. The
heads Of such plants will often attain.
without bursting, to double the size
