stanley Tells p Curious Story About tho
Dwarfs and Their Poisoned Arrows.
When I've first encountered the tribe
who fought with poisoned arrows,
writes Stanley in Scribner, we were not
prepared to be greatly impressed with
the danger, but we received severe
lesson in August, 1887, during fight
with the Avisibba savages. Young fell
lows, inspired by the example of Lieut.
enant Stairs, X. E., rushed with brave
homicidal intentions to the front, and
the tiny arrows sailed in showers past
them; but some of them found their
intended billets, and were arrested
quivcring in arms and shoulders. With
contemptuous smiles the young men
drew them out and flung them away,
and some continued answering the saw
ages with rifle shots, while others
sought the surgeon, bearing with them
the arrows with which they had been
wounded. When the days fight was
over of course we had more leisure to
examine the missiles, and our anxiety
was great when we observed that they
had been freshly smeared with brown,
gummy-lilic substance which emitted a
subtle acrid odor, with n suspicion of
dSdlHIlua III IL. i he arrows seemed to
have been plunged into pot contain
ing goodly quantity of resinous sub
stance, and twirlcd around in it and
well soaked and then lifted up in a
bunch and covered with a banana or q
piece of phrynium leaf. Quivers full of
the arrows showed US that the weapons
were considered by their owners to be
dangerous, for those so smcarcd were
tied together, head downward, and
apart from the others.
Yet the wounds made by these slender
arrows were mere punctures, such as
might have been made by finely-pointed
butchers slcwers, and being exceed
ingly ignorant of the effect we con-
tented ourselves with Swinging them
with warm water and dressing them
with bandages In some instances af-
fectionatc men sucked their comrades
wounds, to make sure that nothing of
the substance should be left to irritate
them In no instance was this method
of any avail. All who were wounded
either died after terrible suffcrings from
tctanus, or developed such terrible gan
grenous tumOrs as to incapacitate them
from duty for long periods or wreck
their constitutions so completely by
blood-poisoning that their lives became
a burden to them.

CntlIc That WIN Sell.

A firm Of cattle brokers that have been
in the business twenty-six years in a
large city report one certain week last
October to have been about the dullast
they have ever known The cause Of
the dizziness was partly Chat there were
brought TO the city in that week S., 900
head Of beeves to be disposed Of. But
the prime cause was that the cattle sent
in Were not fit TO sell. They were not
fat enough The dealers recommended
their customers near home to keep their
beeves couple Of months longer and
feed them heavily, SO that when the far
western cattle had all come in and been
disposed Of the homo beeyes could be
brought in and their owners get some
thing for them.
The kind of cattle that are drug in the
market, that pull the price Of all down,
that are always with Us and yet that
nobody wants, are described thus:

An ONO beekeepcr gives expression to
the following in Cincinnati Gazette;
The average age Of the worker bee is
about forty-eight days in the working
season, yet we know that bees live much
longer in the winter Much depends on
the condition of the swarm, or stock, in
the fall as to the length Of life In
order to winter a stock Of bees it will re-
quire about twenty 90 twenty-five pounds
Of honey. 1t is not truc that bees make
honey from strip prepared from sugar
but only store it as food, and can, If cir
cumstances require, make comb from
such sirup, all things being equal
The queen lays all the eggs, producing
all the bees, both drones and workers.
Droncs are the male bees, and are only
useful during the swa7ning season to
mate with the young queens. Combs are
made from wax secreted in the body Of
the bees, from nectar gathered from the
flowers, which also requires a high de-
gree of animal heat, which is also pro-
duced, under favorable circumstances.
by the bees forming themselves into Il
cluster or festoon. See well to it that
the bees have plenty of honey TO winter
through with; Also dry, dark place for
their winter quarters is best.

4 correspondent Of Farm Poultry asks;
How many hens can keep in house
12 by 20, giving them free range most of
the year? What is the feeding value Of
7untiower seeds, as compared with grain?
How many can ono feed, how often, and
are they injurious if fed too freely" The
Journal appeal to replies us follows:
About twenty-five; but better results
viii be obtained If you divide the house
into two pens 10 by 10, and divide the
fowls into two hocks Of twelve to fifteen
for each pen. This would necealtate
having two yards to correspond, but that
would be an advantage, provided the
yards were largo enough to keep grass
growing. say 100 square feet per fowl
1t would be an advantage, because hens
kept in ACKNOWLEDGEMENT will lay more
eggs than II running at large. Their
strength goes into eggsrather than being
used up in walking exercise. Sunlower
seeds are very rich il fats, and there is
danger of feeding too much OF them,
Just as thereis of feeding too much corn.
One or two feeds a week incold weather
IS all that should he.allowed of them.

\ well known and reliable firm Of
dealers in dairy products in Boston CON
tribute to The Creamery journal the fol
lowing suggestions about packing and
shipping:
While we indorsc the recommends
tion TO have at least Il portion Of the
cows come in during the fall for winter
dairy, at the same time we realize that
the important point at present is, how
can the farmer make the most money
out of his herd as they are at present,
and situated as hA is.
OF course the more money the cream
cry gets out Of its product the more the
farmer gets for his milk or cream, as the
ease may be- so we venture to make a
few suggestions.
In the first place, Tho butter must be
good III order to command the top mar
ktt price, not forgetting that in very
warm weather extra precautions must
be taken in the matter Of using ice when
gathering cream, watching il closely
during lipening process, and perhaps
churnlng little oftenct By doing SO
We believe thers Wo.ld to much less
Sur butter made.
In the second place use packages to
suit the market. Butter packed in soft
wood tubs. assorted sizes, commands the
best price here Be sure and soak the
tubs for twenty-four hours before using,
~ quite u number Of tubs of butter spoil
on sides, owing to neglect in preparing
packages; of courqe that means low
price,.
When you get ready 10 ship select
your commission merchant Ship YOUR
goods fresh-''thoy are never better"-
and ship every week, thus giving him a
chance to get up line Of customers that
can depend ON getting your butter every
week. In that way the trade gets to
know your brand, it suits tho consumers,
and they will pay good prices rather than
take the chance of some other creamery
suitinE.
The maker who sells one week and
ships the next, and keeps changing com
mission men, can never expect TO get top
prices, as one house does not handle tho
butter long enough or regularly enough
10 get up reputation.
We offer those few suggestions. hoping
it may benefit some shipper, as we real
ize their interests are identical with
those Of the commission merchant.

SLAUGHTER OF THE iNNocENTs.
nIidy Morgan ON tho Bcof Cattle Trade
of 1900.


OF 1890.
A retrospective glance at the cattle
trade in our eastern sCabDard markets
for tho past summer shows an unusually
large and varying trade with the British
isles Spectators and brokers hurried
forward in their anxiety TO land cattle
and dressed beef in Great Britain THIS
praiseworthy Undertaking had, however,
two sides-Ono Of profit, one OF loss. SO
unusual did the shipments become that
toward the close of August and during
the early days Of September the losses

weaker against the Weather, which
cuGcl rs such struggles always do.

and 10 avoid further loss some Of the
smaller shippers united their interests,
and by reducing the volume of the eX-
ports prices returned to paying basis.
While this war was being waved q
new phase appeared in the homo trade.
So fierce was the contention in the great
western centers Of our cattle business TO
secure beeves suited for The British mar
kets that only refuse was left as tho

Some of tho requisites in dairy COW
are large digestive powers, Indicated by

good appetite and good aSsinilating
ability, broad hips, deep loins and sides,
and evidences Of II strong, robust cOnsti-

These are all Of importance, and should
be found prominently present in the

The COW may assinilatc Il large amount
