HUNTING THE WILD BOAR.
The Ludicrous Mistake of a Novice in the
Sport.

The LudicrOus Mistake of q Novice in the
Sport.
A Russian officer at one of the mill
tary stations in the Caucasus, hearing
Of the presence in his neighborEood OF
two gentlemen in pursuit OF boar, sent
to them an invitation to join him on the
following day, when he would give them
a taste of real sport. With many thanks
they accepted the kindness, and at the
appointed time set off.
During the day many shots were fred
at one thing and another, though at
least one of the party had seen no boar.
AS the afternoon wore on and the day
light began to disappear, one of the
Russians guests. who had wandered
away from his friends, found himself
rather tagged, and felt that it was time
to stop.
just then he heard the dogs baying
something not far from him. and after
creeping up to within about thirty yards
of them he crouc;lcd behind the bole OF
Il huge oak and waited for his eyes to
get used to the darkness. He was soon
able to make out the dogs tails waving
to and fro, and then. under a leaning
tree-stump. the indistinct outline of
their enemy. Meantime the boar kept
up half-grunting, half-growling noise,
while the dogs barked their loudest.
Suddenly says the gentleman, "the
mass moved. and a dog went flying belly
uppermost, and his wells We're added to

A FINISHED PRAYER.
| The Pathetic Ending of Sic. Chi.d's


Life.
The sick room was very still: the
night-lamp burned low, and the watch

wall, but no one moved or spoke.
The doctor said this was the turning
point of the disease, and there was
| nothing to do but to wait-wait
The boy slept, and the father kept
his eyes fixed upon the thin, wasted
features, and watched for what he

The father beclSoned to the nurse and
she brought the mother, who stole soft

He clasped his little hands together

The poor father could not answer.

Fecundity of Rats.

A pair of rats happily situated and
undisturbed will in three years have in

rats will eat as much in one day as a
man the consumption of these rats
would be equal to that of 65,6S0 men
the year round and leave eight rats in

rapid way it is providential that the rat
has SO many natural enemies. All

Breed to Purpose.
The Importance of breeding to blood
ed stock of the kind required is not to
be ignored. If you desire dairy COW
for her milking qualities, she should be
bred from the stock whose peculiar
characteristic is much milk giving; if
butter is desired, the cow should be
bred from stock noted for butter pro-
duction; if you desire cattle for beef
this one feature should be kept IN view
in breeding. So too, with horses, the
characteristic desired should be known
to have been those of the dam and sire.
The same principle applies to hogs and
sheep Always breed with purpose.

How to Construct Floors Which Can
Easily BE Kept Clean.
Not one barn in ten throughout the
country has a properly constructed
stable floor. The cattle are obliged to
be in their own filth. The sides. legs
and udders of the cows are in a dirty
condition in the morning and it takes
the greatest care in washing and brush
ing to remove the filth and get the milk
out of the stable without its becoming
tainted. In milking. the movement OF
the udder will cause the fine particles
of dirt to drop OF into the pail. A gut
ter behind the COWS is Objectionable be-
cause their tails will lie in it and a
large portion of their body is besmeared
with dirt wnea they rise. Then, too,
it is injurious to cows heavy with calf
to step down suddenly in moving

be enlarged and covered with a grating
