A Unique Newspaper.

. Lying on the desk of Mr.. w. B. SOM
erville, in his coy office in the big West
ern Union building, a reporter espied a
very strange newspaper. AT first it
looked Like 4 large piece of foolscap
closely written. but upon closer exami-
nation ii proved to be real live news
paper written by hand. This unique
newspaper is published at Prince Albert,
a small hamlet in the center of the Cana
dian northwest territory, and Is called
The Prince Albert Critic. Its size is four
pages. four columns to the page.
The paper has circulation OF several
hundred copies and is specimen Of
what can be done by an enterprising
journalist without a font Of type. The
mode Of issuing it is rather peculiar.
The matter. instead of being set in type,
is written in ink with an electric pen on
prepared paper. the rest of the issue be
Ing mprints of the original sheet. The
paper Is newsy for its size, contains
quite 4 number of advertisements ana Is
the official paper of the hamlet.-New

MINING FOR 4 PYTHON.

A Snake That Refused to Be Drawn from
| His HcIe by Rope and Elephant.
It was during the cold weather, when
snakes are partially or wholly torpid,
that this adventure happened; had it been
III the hot weather, when snakes are
lively, the story might have had differ
ent ending.
Gen. Macintyre and his party went one
day to examine d hole or crevice under
rock where it was supected python lay
hidden, and sure enough it was there,
for they could see a bit of the tail end
protruding from the hole. They let it
alone at first, thinking that, when the
sun shone, it might come forth to bask
in its warmth. In this, however, they
were disappointed, for on the following
day the snake was not TO be seen; but,
on closer examination, the tail was found
sticking out as before. Various efforts
were made TO dislodge it. \ fire was lit
in front and the smoke famed inward,
but this had no effect.
The earth was even scraped away and
the hole widened, when they could see
the coils of the monster as thick as a
mans thigh; but except that their
operations were occasionally interrupt
ed by the startling presence of the
creatures head, which it occasion
ally pOked toward the entrance,
darting out its little forked tongue, it
gave small signs of animation. They
had even determined to try to draw it,
We all three, therefore, proceeded
somewhat nervously, l must own-to
lay hold of its tail To this familiarity
it showed its objection by a decided inch-
nation to wag its caudal extremity, which
had such an electrical effect on our
nerves that we dropped it like hot po-
tato, and-what shall call it:-retired.
4 shot would in all probability have in
duced the snake TO quit its refuge, but
then the shot must have torn and dis
figured its beautiful skin, which the gem
eral wished to secure uninjured as a spec
linen. In the meantime more efficient
tools for digging had been sent for, and
these now arrived borne upon an elephant.
A bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake out with the
elephant! Sufficient rope for the purpose
was loosened from the elephants pad,
and this rope, about the thickness of a
man 5 thumb, was nitched around tine py-
thon's tail. its remaining length brought
up again TO the pad and fastened there,
thus doubling its strength. Now came
the tug of war. \ sudden Jerk might
have torn the skin; the mahout was
therefore warned to put on the strain
gradually. Little did we know what
tough and obstinate customer we had 20
deal with. Tighter and tighter grew the
ropes. when crack went one Of them.
Still the strain was increased, when
crack the other had snapped also,
leaving the snake in staEJ quo.
The snake was finally dislodEed By
counter mining and hiiled with charge
of buckshot. When measured it vas
found 70 be twenCv-one feet IN length
and about two feet IN girth.-Chambers

Devils Lake.

Devils lake is a body of brackish
water of uncertain size, according to
the weather, but covering about 200
square miles on an average, and having
an outlet by a marshy stream to the
Cheyenne river, only in wet seasons.
Though the water is too saline for a
stranger to drink it, yet it abounded with
fish in its natural state; and even now,
In the dead of winter, one may see
groups of wiry old squaws here and there
on the ice -four feet thick at the IeastD
working the dip seine" and bringing
out at each haul two or three pickerel,
which are thrown on the ice to freeze
solid in few minutes, after which they
are handled like stones or billets OF
wood. To see the poor old creatures
kneeling on the margin of the holes they
have cut through the ice, and with one
arm, bare nearly to the shoulder, thrust
under the edge of the ice to spread the
seine-thermOmeter from zero to 30 be-
lows a novel and interesting sight to
the tourist; that is, if he is well wrapped
in fur coat and has thick moccasins or
German socks" over his heavy boots.
The lake in one place is almost cut in
two by a sort of peninsula, with a spoon
shaped extremity running out into the
lake; and there the Indians in the good
old times" used to make their great buff
falo drive. Stampeded by mounted men,
from large section ad jacent the animals
fled to the lake and were gradually con-
centrated on this peninsula; the hunters
then advanced by boat or along the land
and shot them down at leisure. At
length the white man broke in; the great
Turtle mountain buffalo raids began; for
seventy miles in a line the pra . the
next summer was a Golgotha-wn4.ened
with buffalo skeletons-and old settlers
still tell Of the ''big money made by
gathering their bones In five short
years every buffalo was gone, and the
Indians had to starve, fight or emigrate.
They fought and were whipped; part
emigrated and the rest are starving.-J.

Of the trough is flooded ere they can
quench their thirst or appease their hun
ger. All this crowding and unequal
feeding may be regulated, says a cor
respondent in Rural New Yorker, by the
simple appliance shown in Fig. l.
A trough, a, is located beside a fence
or division in the pen, board, G, about
a foot and half wide is hinged to the
portion at B. When feeding is to be done
pull on the handle G when the position
indicated by the dotted lines is assumed !;
you can then pour in the swill or coarser
feed and distribute it evenly in the trough.
The handle c is released and the occu-
pants simultaneously commence eating.
The plan shown of Fig. is intended
to prevent crowding. The top of the
trough is divided in separate apartments
by cleats, as shown. They should be made
Of hard wood with rounded edges and
firmly nailed not more than one foot
apart, The plan shown at Fig. /, while
more expensive, is well worth the extra
outlay.
The following summary of results as
obtained by Professor Hunt, of the Hi
nois College farm, in his experiments,
can hardly fail to be OF interest:
Itrequired 1899 pounds Of skim milk to
produce one pound of pork when fed with
corn meal, ratio II to fattening hogs.
1t required on an average IL pounds of
shelled corn to produce a pound of pork
during an average period of four weeks,
or one bushel produced 49, pounds.
1t required ~ pounds of corn meal to
produce one pound of pork, or one bushel
of corn made into meal and fed viii pro-
duce 124 pounds of pork.

A Plea for Cross Bred Poultry.

A New Jersey pOulterer makes a plea
in American Agriculturist for market
poultry obtained by proper crossing.
He says: For market the desired points
are an increased production of eggs and
improvement for the table. These are
the Legitimate grounds which justify
cross breeding. In crosses We combine
quality with size, as, for example, Hou-
dan on Cochin or Brahma, or Cochin on
Dorking. The latter cross is after the
English fashion. They take a good
2-year-old Cochin cock and mate with
six good Dorking hens of a year old.
The pullets of the cross are next season
mated with game, and their produce is
then marketed. Thus they gain size
from the Cochin, and quality from the
Dorking. By the game cross very little
in size is sacrificed, while another first
rate cross. in point of quality, is added.
An Englishman, referring to this cross,
once said: ''The flesh Is white as snow,
and as savory as any aldermanic gour-
mand could desire" II must be under
stood, however. that nothing is gained
by mating the progeny. Cross bred
birds should never be mated together.
When we make the cross We have the
ideal of our experiment; beyond that
there is a downward tendency. We do
not believe any great success can be OBJ
tanned in mating for increased egg pro-
duction. That is, no cross can be Sc
cured that viii give higher egg record
than that which some OF our noted
strains now have. 1t is principally for
an Improvement of table quality that We
recommend interpreting.

"a plan that is occasionally tried in the
fowl house, costs more than all that can
be gained by such an attempt to make
your fowls comfortable. And, as a rule,
if it be followed up day and night for
any length of time. more lice will be
bred upon the premises than you can
well take care of. 1t is necessary, only,
that your fowl house be tight in the roof
and walls, and that the birds be kept out
of the reach of rough winds and excess

of dry cold weather, but should be so
sheltered that snow, sleet and rain shall
not trouble them. Give them fresh air
daily Close up the building at night
carefully. Allow them a range outside,
when the weather will permit, and feed
them more generously during the chilly
season than you need to do in summer
time, and they will get through the
winter comfortably and remain in good
health.
