TRAINING HORNS.
Begin Mt n Stage When the Growth Is
Most Rapid.

Begin Mt Stage When the Growth Is
Most Rapid.
Scraping the horns for the purpose of
forming an incurve has been practiced
with greater or less degree of sue
cess. To accomplish the object, says a
correspondent of Jersey Bulletin, the
scraping should be done on the inner
side, toward which the turn is desired,
and it should be repeated, if necessary,
as the horn makes growth. The horns
of,most cattle, Jerseys especially, nat
urally grow with an inward curve, and
this practice is an aid to nature in re-
fractory cases. Let the scraping be as
evenly done as possible ,along the sur
face desired for the curve, so that all
parts will yield to the pressure in the
same proportion. The governing
principle is that the horn thus ssraped
on one side is weakened, and as growth
proceeds offers lessened resistance to
the stronger parts that have been left
undis 'urbed, and a gradual giving way
of the former is inevitable. The
symmetry of the curve will depend
upon the care and skill with which the
work is done; the process is slow and
should be begun before the horns get
too large, and at a stage when growth
is most apid, for best results.

pelicans overheard, There was sud.
den snap Of the jaws, and the bird dis
appeared down the red throat.
The speed of the alligator was stopped
for an instant, but he soon renewed the
chase. At this moment we saw other
ripples on the lake, and we knew that
we were being pursued by whole col
ony of saurians. The cries of the birds
had indeed attracted the hungry alliga-
tors from all the. 2eighboring lagoons
and swamps.
"Quick, over with the BIRDS" James
shouted. "rhey are calling all the
gators in the woods"
threw the remaining birds in the
water, and saw them disappear down
the throats of our enemies. Then seiz-
ing our paddles aguin we redoubled our
efforts, knowing that our lives depended
upon the result of the race. The rip
pies all around us, and over the stern
of the canoe, approached closer, and in
fifteen minutes the black heads caa
snouts of the pursuing alligators could
be plainly seen, They were all gigan-
tic fellows, and were swimming in a
body after us. The cries of the birds
no longer melted them on, but they had
evidently made up their minds to have
us for meal.
1t was a long distance to the camp
and our chances of reaching it before
we were overtaken appeared less every
five minutes, We padded on, hoping
almost against hope that the alligators
would get tired of the chase and give il
up. We had good start of them, ant
we determined to make the best of it
But the persistency of the alligator
is well known when its desires are
aroused, and we could neither tire th'

but we were too much for him, and we
snatched the bird almost out OF his jaws.
Bafiied and angry, the huge saurian
snapped his jaws together fiercely, and
then opening them again, he made to-
ward us as if intent upon crushing our
canoe to pieces. We never realized that
we were running any danger until the
savage creature turned upon us. He
was the largest alligator we had sem in
several weeks, and the close encounter
frightened us.
He rushed through the water like a
whirlwind, but sudden twist of the
paddle brought the canoe about so that
be missed striking the side. We picked
up our paddles instantly and began
working the boat out of his reach. But
the saurian was rot so easily bafiled
Anger and hunger made him return to
the attack, and he started in rapid pur-
suit The cries of the wounded peli-
cans seemed to increase his desire to
overtalse us, and he doubtless felt that
we were robbing him of his game.
We could not mold our own in the
race, aud the monster overhauled us
foot by foot. He was close TO us, and
almost ready to open his jaws for an
sther charge when threw one of the

srn part of the peninsula was especially
Hooded, and many of the low-lying man
grove swamps had the appearance of
forest trees growing in the middle of
The sea.
We were spending the winter along
the coast, making occasional brief ex-
;ursions into the interior to obtain
whatever of scientific interest that we
:ould find, or to enjoy few days sport
IN hunting the wild game.
James Walton was fellow student
with myself, and through the advice of
physician we had both exchanged
BOOKS of natural history for study in
tie field. South Florida opened up
held that was rich in every department
Of science, and when we were engaged
In studying the fora or fauna of that
region we never failed to make obser-
yations and discoveries that interested
and instructed.
In the course of time, however, the
continually rising waters forced us
from dry land, and we had to construct
a rude platform for our home. This
was QUILT by driving heavy stakes in
The ground, and then putting a log
platform on the top of the stakes. The
water never rose quite up to the top of
this platform, but once or twice it
reached within several inches of it.
The platform, with our rude shanty
on it, was situated close to a huge man
grove swamp, and near enough to
Jupiter inlet to give us distinct view
of the ocean. We could thus reach sa 1t
and fresh water birds and fish with but
little difficulty.
Shortly after the holidays the water
reached its highest mark, and we found
ourselves living, as it were, right in the
midst of large sea, and with here and
there forests of trees growing out of it.
With our little canoe we could paddle
far up into the interior, and we fire.
quently spent days in exploring the s''b-
merged country.
One day James and entered lithc
cove in one of the large mangrove
swamps, or lakes, as they really
were, some two or three miles from
the camp. We shot few wild
ducks to replenish our stock of pro.
visions. After padding around for
some time we startled up flock of wild
birds, which scurried out of the brakes
SO rapidly and suddenly that we could
not get good glimpse of them. To
prevent any great prize from escaping,
we shot Unfortunately into the flock,
and brought three down.
The three birds were wounded and
their cries soon attracted the other
birds of the swamp. They proved to be
pelicans and they made desperate eff.
forts to get beyond our reach. We
picked up two of the screaming crea-
lures, and then started for the third.
Before we reached the last one oul
attention was attracted by n ripple il
the water, and then by the black head
of an alligator moving rapidly towart
the screaming bird, The winter had
been hard one, and the voracious sau
rians had become bold and desperate il
their hunger. Otherwise the big fellow
would never have ventured out in broaC
daylight and attempted to steal the
game right from under our nose.
Paddle for the bird" James shouted
as he saw the alligator. 1--WE can bea

Beyond peradventure, many practical
nen have been turned against the silo
on account of the palpably absurd
,laims made for it by enthusiasts in the
irst glow of success over it. That its
merits have been exaggerated does not
,dmit of controversy, and the explana-
ion of this is found in the universal
manifestation of poor human nature to
stretch the facts just little when it
discovers that it has finally got hold of
good thing" with which it took up
not little dubious of the outcome. 1t
IS asking the exercise of considerable
,redulity on the part of the average
human mind to believe that more
:an be taken out of pit than was
put in and sealed over, and yet
that was practically what farmers were
asked to believe by not few siloists
when their paroxysm of fever was at it's
highest point. Naturally skeptics were
developed all over the country, and the
Gazette is clearly OF the opinion that
these same extravagant claims, made
80 freely in the early stages of the silo
infection, retarded not a little the prog
ress Of this most valuable means of for
age preservation in the minds of the
people. But unfortunately cooler heads
came to the rescue, and the enthusiasts
were called d own" effectively by sci
entists and practical men to whom the
public lent an attentive ear, and as
time progressed the real facts of the is
sue were evolved and the claims of the
silo reduced to reasonable basis, since
which time it has made the most rapid
progress in the esteem of thinking, in
estigating agriculturists. Much has
been lcarned; much remains to be
learned, but among the demonstrated
facts is the fundamental one that the
silo has come to ay.-Breeders' Ga

When the trees are to be removed long
distances, the plan used in Fig. should
be adopted. First dig around and
loosen the tree, care being taken not to
injure the roots by digging too near
the tree. Place the connecting pieces

tree, to which iasten by ropes winding
cloths or mating about the tree, to pre-
vent breaking the bark. One horse at
tached to the rope (B) will easily raise

which it may be transplanted d long dis
tances without injury. 1t may be re-
moved from this vehicle to the hole

few large ones out nor hold the dis.
tance between us. Several of tn"
small ones dropped out of the race
but five of the larger ones steadily
gained on us.
We gave sigh of relief when we
rounded the last point of land and saw
our elevated log cabin in the distance.
But there was no sign of help there,
and our hearts failed u.s. The guides
were either sleeping or out hunting.
A groan of despair followed our sigh
of relief. The foremost alligator
leaped toward us and snapped his jaws
within five feet of the canoe.
Another attempted to reach us, but
failed. Then they settled down to
work again, but we were so paralyzed
with fear that our arms could make
only Intellectual efforts to paddle rap
idly.
"We're lost" groaned James, ''un-
less we can frighten them"
Our guns not being loaded proved
practically useless; but we both
jumped up and tried to strike the
saurians with the paddles. The cresb
lures stopped for minute and swan
in circle round the canoe. They
knew that they had cornered their
prey, and they seemed to be gloating
over their coming feast. Our attempts
to frighten them, however, were inef
fectual, and when we struck one on
the tail, he turned around and snapped
| savagely at the paddle. We saved the
canoe by jumping back and giving
the frail craft slight lurch to ono
side.
| Our brave fight would soon have ter
minated .disastrously for us had not
another creature appeared on the scene.
There was n slight ripple in the water
| a short distance off, and then the huge
fins of an ugly-looking shark glided
through the water. The heavy floods
had made the water in the inlet so deep
that the tinny monster had ventured
far inshore after food. The noise of
the battle had attracted his attention,
and he was approaching the scene.
The five alliEators waited eXpectant.
| ly for the new enemy, and when the
huge shark turned over to seize one of
the creatures the heavy saurians res
turned the attack. The battle was evil
IDENTIFY surprise to both parties. The
shark was unaccustomed to such tough
skinned enemies, and after the first en-
counter he regretted his rashness.
But it was too late to retreat then.
The alligators, pressed on with hunger,
surrounded the huge fish and soon tore
him to pieces. The red blood dyed the
water for many rods around, and the
splashing of the heavy tails told the
story of the fierce conflict going on.
The shark was gamey to the last, and
before he succumbed one of the huge
saurians was floating on his back dead
and another swimming painfully toward
the mangrove swamps badly injured.
We lost no time in getting away from
the scene of the conflict, and when we
reached the camp we were completely
exhausted The remembrance of that
race, and how the shark saved us, il
always before our minds when we
think of the sunny land of Florida
