INSTINCTS OF CATTLE.
Why They Are Excited by the Color Rec
Experience on the Pampas.

Experience on the Pampas.
When we consider that blood is red;
that the smell of it is, or may be, OF
has been, associated with that vivid
hue in the animals mind; that blood,
seen or smelt, is, or has been, associi
ated with the sight of wounds and
with cries Of pain and rage or terror
from the wounded or captive animal,
there appears to be some reason fOf
connecting these two instructive pas,
sions as having the same origin
namely, terror and rage caused by
the sight of member of the herd
struck down and bleeding, or strug.
Cling for life in the grasp of an enemy.
do not mean to say that such an
image is actually present in the AMI
mails mind, but that the inherited OF
instructive passion is one in kind and
in its working with the passion OF the
animal when experience and reason
was its guide. But the more con-
slider the point the more am in
clined TO regard those two instincts as
separate in their origin, although !
retain the belief that cattle and
horses and several wild animals are
violently excited by the smell OF blood
for the reason just giyen-namely,
their inherited memory associates the
smell OF blood with the presence
among them Of some powerful enemy
that threatens their life.
The following incident will show
how violently this blood passion some
times affects cattle, when they are
permitted to exist in half-wild con-
dition, as on the pampas. | was out
with my gun one day, few miles
from home, when | came across a
patch on the ground where the grass
was pressed or trodden down and
stained with blood. | concluded that
some thievish gauchOs had slaugh-
tered fat cow there on the previous
night. and, to avoid detection, had
somehow managed to carry the whole
OF it away on their horses.
As I walked on. a herd Of cattle,
numbering about three hundred, APP
peared. moving slowly on toward a
small stream mile away; they were
travelling in a thin, long line, and
would pass the bloOd-stained spot at
a distance OF seven to eight hundred
Yards. but the wind from 1t would
blow across their track. When the
tainted wind struck the leaders OF
the herd, they instantly stood still,
raising their heads, then they broke
into loud. excited bellowings, and
finally turning they started off at a
fast trOt, following up the scent In a
straight line, until they arrived at the
place where one Of their kind had met
its death. The cOntagiOn spread, and
before long all the cattle were con-
gregated on the fatal spot, and began
moving around in dense mass, bel
lowing continually.
1t may be remarked here that the
animal has a peculiar language on 0c-
casiOns like this; it emits a succession
Of short believing cries, like excited
EXPLANATIONS, followed by a very loud
cry. alternately sinking into hOarse
murmur and rising to kind OF scream
that CRATES harshly on the sense. Or
the ordinary Cow music" am great
admirer. and take as much pleasure
in il as in the cries and melodies OF
birds and the sound Of the wind in
trees; but this performance OF cattle
excited by the smell of blood is most
distressing TO hear.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cheese should have butter fat in it to
make it good to sell aud to eat.
Keep all seeds in dry place where
mice or rats cannot get at them.
Are you giving any thought to next
seasons gardenl Better do it now.
Mature bulls, from three to eight
years old, make the best dairy sires.
Spread out the roots nearly equal on
all sides, so as to brace the tree we'll.
The COW that turns out the most butter
or cheese for the least feed is the most
profitable.
Hard-hearted indeed is the man who
cuts down handsome shade tree in the
pasture lot.
Blanket the horses we'll when left to
stand in the street, especially across the
breast and over the loins, aud put the
blanket on so it willstsy there.
SunhOwer seeds are excellent for poul.
try in winter. They are very fatteniDg
and should be used only two or three
times a week in small quantity.
Chaff from the barn floor or strawstsck
is a good material to give the fowls to
scratch over. 1t can be thrown on the
floor of the poultry house at this season.
Care of dairy COWS should commence
with the calf. No calf with scrub cars
till she becomes a mother will make the
COW she would if proper care had been
given.
The advantage with a wheat or rye
patch convenient to the-2oultry house is
that when the snow is of the ground it
can be used to good advantage as a
green feed.
In pruning make all cuts slanting aud
smooth, and if liable to hold water, paint
over with shellac or linseed oil. Clean
up the brush and burn as soon as the
pruning is done.
While meat scraps are good for poul-
try, especially the laying hens, better
results can be obtained by cooking them
thoroughly and then chopping them up
fine before feeding.
With many the failure to secure a
thrifty growth with house plants is be-
cause the air in the roomis kept too warm
aud dry. Keeping a vessel filed with
water on the stove is a good remedy.
1t may be true, that horsemen, like
musicians and poets, are born, not made,
but there are few who may not add much
to their knowledge Of horses and become
skillful in their management by study
and practice.
II is mistake TO touch butter with
the bare hands, or use the fingers for a
thermometer. Both are wholly insult
able for the work. Keep your fingers
out of the cream and your palms out of
the butter. Use thermometer

sents itself for seeing and examining val
liable horses. One way to become a
good judge of horses, or rather a judge

Life ought to be, for every healthy ma
ture, one quenchless thirst for achievement,
experience and expansion. No limits are
set to the human soul, although time keeps
a strong registry against the human form.
In this century some of the greatest things
have been done by old men-men who have
declined to stop and step out of the ranks,
and who have gone on adding strength to
strength and service to service until old
age has become the fruitful harvest of
October, and not the bleak barrenness of
December Physical infrmities are not to
be warded off by an effort of WILL but nc
man need decline because his body dimin-
ishes in force. Growth takes on many
forms, and it can still persist when the
senses have begun to fail.
1t is great gain to Danish from our
thoughts the ideal of life which fixes its
best period at the beginning. 1t is great
thing to look forward to ever increasing
gain, to think always of leading and ad-
vancing, never of retiring and retreating,
The charming old woman who began to
study painting after she was sixty years
old is a capital illustration of the spirit
in which we ought all to take hold of
life There are few, who, like the doge
of Venice, beyond the age of ninety, can
climb the wall of besieged city at the
head of an attacking force, but there is nc
ore who need settle down to decline and
decay because youth is past. Life has no
limits for those who know how to live, and
the joy of it lies in moving with the tide
and keeping at the front until the time
comes when there is "A greater and higher
