write this note for two reasons:
FIRST, to recommend rye for winter
grazing and winter-cutting. Oats are
becoming quite unreliable, in con-
sequence of the ''eold snaps" which
seem to have become chronic with us.
Every two or three winters, the Their
mometer drops down to ten degrees or

more, and the fall oats are bad

Plague of Rats in China.

A late number of the Pekin Gazette
contains an announcement that reads
like one of Grimm's fairy tales. 1t is
to the effect that it will be necessary to
change certain postal routes in Outer
Mongolia because of the appearance OF
swarms of rats. For two years past
the pasturage in this region has suf-
fered much, and last year the grass
was nearly all eaten by these vermin.
The whole country has been honey
combed by their burrowing. Camels
and horses are suffering for food, and

trict can not safely be continued be.
cause the burrows are source OF
danger to all mounted travellers.

About Goose Farming.

In response to the question: aWA,,
kind of poultry is the most prostab.
for the farmer to raise?n Mrs. WV

Tn Ostrich i'm Captivity.

The ostrich is naturally very timid.
1t is easily tanned and not hard to natu-
ralize in a semi-trol ,ical region, as these
experiments on the Pacific coast go to
show. They are usually good-natured,
but when enraged or frightened, it is
just as we'll to give them wide birth.
At Anaheim one of the male birds be-
came angry with his mate and dealt her
so furious a blow with his foot that he
killed her.
A horse or dog is an object of great
terror to them. Recently at Kenil-
worth, dog ran into one OF the in
closures. At sight of the animal the
male became terribly excited. 1t ran
at the dog and tramped it to death, and
even then it was beside itself with fear.
1t broke down the strong fence and es-
capped into the open valley and was out
of sight very quickly. No horse could
equal its speed. Each stride measures
twenty feet. 1t has long, swinging
gait, and the motion is very rapid. The
short wings aid the running. 1t was

earth. which were formerly supposed
to he the tombs of departed natives.

much as fifteen feet in perpendicular
height and sixty feet in circumference
at the base-are not the work of man,

other species of the small family of

Each of these great piles consists of
fallen leaves, grasses. etc, which the
birds deposit in place by throwing
backward with one foot. Though the
mounds are usually in dense shade, the
decaying vegetable matter has been
fonnd to raise the temperature at the

Don't BE Too Trustful.

Virgil says: Trust not too much to

Right you are, Virg. You can never
tell by. a woman's face how often she
will leave chunk of soap on the stairs,
while she stands in the back yard and
gossips across the fence with that
"stuck up thing" she so cordially hates
Neither can you tell how she will view
matters when you come home from a
caucus and insist on addressing her as
"my feller-z-z-zitzens," from the din
ing table, and attempt to wind your
watch with the hair brush.
Neither can you foresee how the en-
chanting face will Loom up after she
has removed her complexion. taken off
her Langtry bangs and placed her
teeth in soak. You are wonderfully
correct, old boy, but you might have
scored another point by adding: "Trust
not to much to enchanting form. Per-
haps in your day, when a silver-corner-

fifty per cent for patent liver pads and
