LAssoIHa A SERPENT.

How tho Natives OF java Atkaek Their
KnOnny, The BoaJ
= After about an hour of crawling
and prshing through, our men sud-
penly stopped and began to point
ahead. chattering and gesticulating.
Looking the way they pointed, We
saw In q tree an immense boa con-
strictor waving his head to and fro,
with his scales glittering In the sun.
My friend said: Get back, quick,
he is preparing to jump!" and We
did SO as fast as. possible. After con-
sulting few moments. tho Malays
cautiously advanced with a lasso,
which, by dexterous throw. caught
tho snake around the neck, and,
jumping behind a tree, frightened il
on him. He thrashed and pulled.
and it was all the fol E Malays could
do to keep from bcing drawn near
enough for him to crush them, and
once or twice it seemed as though he
would get them. We could have
shot l. in at first. but they wanted to
capture him alive. After awhile, by
pulling and choking him, he gave up,
and they pulled him down from the
tree. lie was big fellow, twenty feet
long and very large around. They
have great strength, and this one,
was assured, could swallow a goat or
calf He was looking. probably, for
lcopards, that are plenty there, living
principally on monkeys, and the
snakes also catch them when they can,
but usually the monkey is cleverer
than the snake. They sometimes
gather in big bands and club them to
death. BY this time we wcrc 80 hot
and tired that we concluded to let the
monkeys rest, although we could hear
them chuttering and jumping not 30
very far ahead of us, SO we turned
back to our horses with our coolies
carrying our trophy. The Malays
made cage very quickly. cutting
lengths of bamboo and notching them
together, into which they put the
snake, and swinging it on two poles,
marched off with it on their shoulders.

Live Stock in November.

Beeves lay on fat faster during this
month than in January. and should be
forced as fast as it is safe to crowd their
spDetites. Though dry, she will need
just as good ratiUns as when in milk.
The horses are perhaps sustaining a
greater strain upon their vital forces
than at any other season of the year.
ThreShing. blowing, and hauling to
market are far from easy, especially
where November is as hot as August.
Sponge their backs and shoulders in
brine made slightly acrid with tannin
or alum. This application, especially
tannin, is excellent where the skin is
CALLED. Severely worked animals must
not be expected to pick their living after
severe days of toll. Generous feeding
and ceaSeleSS care are none too good for
them. and their nights should be passed
upon earthen floors.
Breeding ewes must soon be selected
for coupling for April lambs. Where
hOt-house lambs for early market con-
stitute the object, the ewes are now
well along and need the tenderest care.
This form of sheep-h usbandry is profit
able. and becoming popular. if the
lambing pens are not ready, no time
should be lost. Sterile ewes can be
fattened and sold advantageously
through November and December, in
some markets. while "spring lamb" Is
wanting or dear.
