CAUGHT BY A SPIDER.
Mouse's Horrible Fate-Trapped and Slowly
Bitten In Death

A Mouse's Horrible Fate Trapped and Slowly
Bitten to Death.
A story showing the strength and
intelligence of the spider has been
revived. Following is tho original
account, clipped from the Lebanon
(Ky.) Standard Of 1882:
"A tolerably tall desk stands against
the wall in P. G. Cleaver's livery
stable. Asmall spider had fastened
to the bottom of the desk conical web
reaching nearly to the floor. About
1880 o'clock Monday forenoon it was
observed that the spider had ensnared
q young mouse by passing flaments
of her web around its tail. When
first seen the mouse had its forefeet
on the floor, and could barely touch
the floor with its hind feet. The spider
was full OF business, running up and
down the line and occasionally biting
the mouse's tail. making it struggle
desperately. Its efforts to escape were
all unavailing. as the slender flaments
about its tail were too strong for it to
break. In a short time it was seen
that the spider was slowly hosting its
victim into the air. BY 2 o'clock in
the afternoon the mouse could barely
touch the floor with its forefeet; by
dark the point of its nose was an inch
above the floor. At 9 O'clock at night
the mouse was still alive, but made
no sign except when the spider de-
scended and bit its tail. At this time
it was an inch and a half from the
floor. Yesterday morning the mouse
was dead, and hung three inches from
the floor. !"

Manual Labor,

If the public school has failed to

OF labor I believe it is due rather to
oversight than intention, says a writer
in the American Agriculturist. The
schools have largely been controlled
by college-m the minister. lawyer
and doctor, and their very presence
among the your is illustration OF
the apparent superiority OF the pro-
1essional class. I say apparent for
do not think many professional men
are willing to be classed among the
idle. many think they are among the
hardest workers, but farmers sons
meetlng school superintendent or
committee men of this class in school
are likely to imagine otherwise. Ger
tainly not all school managers look
upon manual labor as degrading.
though | have known one who warned
class OF boys never. to be caught at
it. certainly think school books
would be improved if they contained
less in regard to profit on trade and
interest on money and more concern

state college who begun his course by
lesson in farm superintendence' or
farm management. / would sooner

horticultural Notes.

One year old peach trees should not
be planted until spring in the northern
states; with two-vear-old ones it is
different. A very good six will be
found in Alexander, Early York. Old
nixon, Smock, Crawford and Susque-
hama.
A good word can be said for the
Vergennes grape. OF a somewhat
lighter shade than Catawba, it is of
most excellent flavor. Though ripen-
ing early it is a good keeper. being in
good condition long after Christmas
when it is preserved in cool room or
cellar
AS the Niagara grape becomes more
widely cultivated, its popularity in
creases. When first brought before
the public, because of much OF its fruit
being cut before it was ripe, it was
thought to lack sweetness. Time has
proved this incorrect, and it stands to-
day as the best white grape for gener-
al use.
When apple, dwarf pear or ounce
trees are received from nurseries, see
that there are no borers in the trunks
before planting. They are easily got
at then, but it is a difficult thing to
dislodge them after they are in the
ground. The mountain ash is another
tree which the borers find delight in
troubling.

One Profit of Keeping sheen.

Not the least good obtained from
keeping sheep is the continual increas-
Ing OF the fertility of the farm on which
they are kept. Mutton and wool are
valuable products, and when due atten-
ton is paid to raising the sheep for
these products, they may be made very
profitable, but when these are merely
incldentals OF sheep raising the
farmer must look elsewhere for part
payment. No other animals can com
pare with sheep for enhancing the fer
Utility OF the land on which they are
kept, and if for no other reason than
this small flock of sheep should be-
owned by farmers. Then, in addition
to this. fresh mutton Of the best quality
may be had at pleasure, which for
farmers far in the interior is quite q
treat.
One of the best ways to bring up an
old barren field TO a good state of fer
tility is to turn flock Of sheep on it.
and let them roam about it. Feed
them quite literally, and they will
spend the rest of their time in grub
bing up noxious weeds, and in tramp
ling bushes to death. In rough
pasture lot the sheep will first select
the wild rose bushes, ragweed, bur-
docks, and hazel bushes. After these
have all been killed off they will look
for grass, and in their grazing they
will trample over the whole ground 50
thoroughly that they will make it
smooth and even as a lawn. In this
work they perform another good SER
vice. They deposit large amount of
solid and liquid manure on the land.
which their small feet trample and
press around the roots of grass where
1t can do the most good
Only a limited number Of sheep,
however, are needed to perform this
duty. If large focks are kept they
not only destroy the weeds and bushes,

A Few Sheep.

There Is often greater profit In a
small flock Of sheep, especially ona
small farm. than there is in d large
one. Sheep are excellent scavengers
and will eat moro varieties OF vegeta-
bles than any other animal on the
farm In the apple orchard they are
lively and quick to gather fallen fruit
and will eat the earliest small wind
falls that hogs will hardly touch. even
though half starved. Almost every
farmer keeps few pigs to eat what
nothing else will. He might we'll
keep few sheep for the same purpose
with better assurance that they would
not eat anything that could injure the
quality OF their meat.

Agricultural Atoms.

A dressing of 10 to IL bushels OF air
Stacked lime given in the fall. to a
failing meadow, will act as !. vigorous
restorative.
Rye for soiling in the spring may
be sown up to November, the later
the sowing the more seed is to be
used, up to four bushels per acre
when sown early in November.
Lime is more soluble in cold than in
warm water in the proportion Of to
l. Hence lime is always used as a
fertilizer in the fall so that it may be-
come available through the cold
weather.
Now that drills have been invented
for boring square holes, it is to be
hoped that there may be no more
round bolts in any farm machinery.
These round bolts are an aggravation
and cause a waste of time that farm
err can i'll afford.
Experience the past season has
shown that green clover may be
stored safely in tight barn, if it is
put in layers with dry straw inter-
mingled alternately. The straw alb
serbs the moisture from the clover,
and acquires an improved flavor while
the clover cures green and sweet with
out mold.
There is diversity of opinion in re-
gard to the feeding down of meadows
in the fall. Generally this is thought
to be desirable. but when it is done,
the droppings of the animals should be
spread and the punches OF uneaten
heritage should be cut, so as to leave
the field in good condition for moving
the following year.

instead Of being enhanced in fertility
