him to all the club wielders from captain
down to doorman. They petted him,
bought him sweets and toys, and as they
searched for the father who had "runned

Finally, they had to turn Walter over to

Why a Bear Took to Man Killing.

The tiger is not the only East Indian an
final that loves human flesh. At recent
monthly meeting Of the Bombay Natural
History society Mr.. Reginald Gilbert read
an interesting account of she bear which
had attacked aud seriously injured four or
five persons in the state of Darampore dur.
ing the last year. Mr.. Gilbert and Mr.. E.
l.. Burton killed this bear and her two
cubs on day when she had, without prov
ocation, attacked and killed man as he
was lying on the ground smoking. 1t was
found, on examining the bear, that the bone
Of her forearm had been splintered some
time before, and that the bullet was still
in the flesh. The wound had closed, but
as there was a good deal OF inflammation
it must have given her much pain, and so
probably induced her TO behave in an extra
savage manner and take to man killing

Grass for Shaded Lands.

Orchard grass, as its name indicates,
is especially well adapted TO shaded
grounds. 1t is, furthermore, nutritious,
and makes good pasturage and good hay.
For the latter it is well 10 SOW 1t with
clover, as they are ready to cut at the
same time and both begin fresh growth
Immediately after the cutting. Orchard
grass has the habit of growing in stools
or clumps, and unless sown very thick
does not cover the ground fully. For
this reason it Is best to mix with it one
or more other varieties. For ground so
much shaded that tho general varieties
of grass will not flourish, blue grass will
make better mixture than clover, but
the chief reliance will be on the orchard
grass. When sown sjngly from twenty
to thirty pounds OF orchard or blue grass
Is commonly used on an acre, bat where
it is difficult to get stand there is no
danger Of sowing too much. Seed Of

filing the slo have departed from the
original idea. In many sections Of the
country the excessive tramping Of the
silage as 1t is placed IN the pit Is not
followed except in extreme cases. A
very general plan now does oway with
all tramping except very little along
the walls to overcome the friction Of the
silage against the walls. Some do not
practice even this to any great extent.
The silago as IL comes from III carrier
Is usually allowed TO drop in the center
Of tho pit, and Is then forted about the
pit by q man whose business it Is to keep
the silage levvs and the sides tramred.
A far betbsr way, says The Son ern

these lay some short boards 40 as to
make a platform ut least throe and a

silo and needs very little after attention.
An hour during the day Is about all the
labor needed IN 10 by 10 foot silo. The
silage will DO much the highest at the
walls and this extra weight then forces
down the silage about all that is needed.
Sometimes tho silage will not fail uni
forlnly. and 1t may need little spread
ing.
The authority quoted says: "This is a
great labor saver, and in our silos NOT a
