A Cotc Moose In CaptiUitH

There is now in Rochester nm animal
which is said TO be tho only one of its
kind in captivity 1t is a COW moose,
about eighteen months old, captured
when calf by Canadian Indians in
region 200 miles north of Lake Nipis-
sing. Tho animal lIv,s chiefly on
young branches and leaves Of trees,
particularly the back ash. She will
also eat fruit, oats, aad a little bran,
but will not touch grass or hay. Tho
top OF her back is fully seven et..abovc
the ground, while her neck is long and
supple. She can eat better with the
head high in the air than when the fod-
der il on the ground. The animals
legs are vtry similar to those of horse,
and her natural gait is n trot. The face
s many features in common with that
OF horse, the eyes being dark aad very
prominent. Tho ears, however, ar,
larger than the same appendagcs on a
Texas mule, but broader. The main
popularity, however, il the shape of
the nostrl,s, or rather muzz.c. Tai, is
very large, and the beast apparently has
double lir, which laps ov, r the mouth
ard is very flexible. When the moose
eats, this lip stretches around the twig
or branch AID holds it to the mouth
much az the trunk OF an elephant is
used. The animal has no tai whatever,
and thin coating of hair somewhat
similar to that of a buffalo. Tho shape
of the ears resembles those on q bear
moro than anything else. 1t is at
present in charge of a man named
Mayhem. living on Maggie street. Mr..
NJ yhew secured it from the Indians
some time ago aud brought it to the
Uuited States. Bull moosos have been
frequently seen aliv, with menageries,
but as far as can be learned no COW
moose has ever been an obj ct of in

Every observing farmer knows that
cattle can be pastured in field after
horses, and will subsist for q time
where the horses would have tarved !;
and that sheep will do well after the
cattle. A similar principle applies TO
tho raising Of the various farm crops.
Wheat may thrive gloriouly on tho
plant food lett in the soil by a corn
crop; oats on that left by the whe It
and cora; potatoes on what was not
taken by the three preceding crops.
But the requirements of plant nutrition
arc not the only reasons nor the strong
est ones that can be urged in favor Of 6
strict system of crop rotation. The
chief objection to planting the same
crop year alter year in tho same ground
is that the insects and diseases ffectinp
that crop attack it each succeeding yc ar
with increased force. frequently the
entiro soil, and the whole vicinity be-
como overlooked with the insects
and the spores of diseases injurious to
that particular crop Shifting the To-
cality of such crop from one field to
another near by can afford, at best, but
partial protection in this respect; and
it were far preferable to select for each
crop subject to insect attacks and dis =
cases location at the greatest possible
distance from any field where that crop
was grown thu year before. If somo
such crop could be left out of the farm
rotation for one or moro years alto
gcthcr, one might be able to starve out
the inse cts and di'eases affecting it for
some years; and if by con certed action
such measure could be extended to n
whole neighborhood, or ecu ty old
fashione big and clean crops might for
time DO grown again.-[A American

Indian IIo,-PicEcrs

In one respect, at last, hop t..'turc
In the Pacific coast diff.rs widely from
that in the Eastern Statcs-in the
character of tn, labor employed in
picking. Il California, pickcrs arc al.
most exclusively Chinese. In O.e;on,
Chinese, whites and Indians are en-
ployed. The scholars OF the Indian
training school, ct Chemawa, near
Salem, earn largo sum annually in
this way. In Washington Territory the
pick.rs are almost exc usively Indians,
men, women and children engaging in
the work. In the PuyaEup Va ley,
where tn, greatest number of fields are
located, the scene is busy, picturesque
and interesting one during tho picking
season. As the time approaches for the
picking to begin, Indians flock into the
valley fam all directions, on foot, in
wagons, on horseback, and by far the
greater number in canoes, some of them
from hundreds of miles up the coast,
even from British Columbia and Alaska.
The tribes at a distance como in their
large canoes, mado from the immense
cedars that grow along tho northern
coast, following that romantic and
picturesque channel lying between the
coast and its outlying fringe of island -,
which Is the admiration of every tourist
to Alaska. These canoes are large and
stanch, manned by twenty men or
more, who often venture to sea in them
during the sealing season. They make
their journey leisurely, sometimes tax

hunting along the route, and camping
wherever night overtakes them. Thus

1t appears that tho real cause OF the
