Anin,nls Mt Play.

Naturalists have frequently commented
upon the similarity OF traits displayed by
children and young auadrupeds. Love,
hate, fear aud JOY are feelings which arc
ipparently shared in common by human
beings aud dumb animals, aud those
who have made a study OF animal life
declare that u certain amount of play OF
recreation is as much n necessity to Ger.
tain young animals rs to children.
By careful observation the writer is
convinced that tho following games are
played by young ANIMALS in much the
same manner us by children: Tag, in u
variety of ways, running races, jumping
matches, wrestling. bouts, bal-piayiug
,ud "hide aud seek" The following
ire few incidents in support of this
theory:
1t is a common sight tosdo.s and cats
,omping and playing together. The
writer has seen dog and cat playing

ng each other in turn until they grew
weary of tho fun. Then the dog would
aoss out u comtomfortablc spot, aud

The ono which finally succeeded in re-

While in Central Park the other day

squirrels which were plainly enjoying
the game familiar to children rs "squal

grass, closely followed by the other, un.

Then the parts were exchanged, the
second squirrel now being sit" by and

amused themselves by playing "hidc and

No small boy enjoys game of ball
better than kitten, though tho kitten,

A Purelr Militnrr Dag.

"Speakiug of our dogs" said Mr..
Lawson, manager of the post traders
store Mt Fort Smelling, "thcre was one n.
Fort Sully that aroused the interest and
wonder of everybody in the post. He
belonged to no one. He was not bad
looking water spaniel, but appeared to
know thing or two. Every member OF
every company treated him royalty, and
he was continually around them. The
minute any of his friends appeared 10
citizens dress the dog refused to recog.
nize him, and no amount of persuasion
could induce him to make up. It was
often tried 10y the mcp for fun, but in
every single instance the dog showed his
teeth and trotted away. He seemed to
have particular atliaity for the boys of
Company A, and many one has he
saved from trouble. There was q certain
guard post in the fort that was not look cd
upon as being particularly important,
but you know how strict regular army
officers are, and should guard be caught
mapping it would go hard with him. at
this post the dog would be found every
night as regular as clockwork. He stayed
right with the sentinel, and his presence
often gave the soldiers an opportunity to
catch a little rest.
"They could go to sleep during the
late hours of the night, but the minute
the old dog heard the least sound OF foot
steps he would scratch the guard rough
ly on the shoulder and wake him up in
time to meet the intruder, be he officer
or otherwise. do not know OF single
instance where sentinel on his post was
caught mapping, though the officers tried
it time and time again. The sentincls
on other posts did not fare half so we'll.
Company A could not do too much for
that animal, and is caring for him yet,
though believe it is required that he be
locked up at night. This was sad blow
to the men, for they were seldom very
much fatigucd from guard duty when the
dog was with them. New York News.

One way in which milk is tainted is

If you are feeding skim milk to shoat.

Because feeding A,eat when the poul.

mistake of feeding too much. Two or

1t probably will NIT hurt to reiterate
that the making of flpe, wholesome milk

a CHEAP ICE HOUSE.

We are asked to give directions for
building an ice house, says the Farm,
Field and Stocl1nau. If a good, SUBJ
stantial one is desired, the plan given a
few weeks ago for building u silo would
do, but many claim that cheap build
ing is just rs good for keeping ice as
more expensive ones, if the ice is well
packed in sawdust, tan bark or cut
straw or prairie hay.
Charles P. Jackson, in American
Creamery, gives the following directions
for building cheap, easily constructed
ice house:
Use two by six stills and plates, with
twelve foot posts, with three courses
two by four rubbing all around three feet
apart, put in cdgewise. Cell with Gull
lumber put on vertically, aud make it
point to always get out of lumber when
you get to the caves, so the gable end
will be sure to be left open. Fill up the
ground inside n little higher than the
outside, then put down any old chunks
Of rails or joist, little distance apart,
and cover between and over with foot
of sawdust, or Its equivalent in straw or
away from the wall, and fill between the
ice and wall with sawdust or its equiva-
lent in straw or prairie hay, as you fill
with ice. Break joints over each course
OF ice when filling. When filled, cover
with six to seven inches of sawdust or its
equivalent and then get out of sawdust.
You don't want ten or twelve inches OF
sawdust on top of the ice There is latent
heat in ice, aud il too much covering on
top, the heat will not be able to pass up
through it aud will turn back aud
honeycomb the ice. With covering of
twelve inches Of sawdust, in every case
an examination will show heat during
the hot months by digging down few
inches.
Never put water on your Ice MS you fill
your Ice house, if you expect to remove
The cakes of ice rs put in.
There need be no ventilator in tho
roof if the gables are left open.

sTRAwBERRY PLANTS.

The first strawberry plants produced
on the now runners of the season take
root first and become the largest and
strongest, and for this reason are pre-
ferred for early transpanting in summer
or autumn. But when transplanting is
deferred until spring the latest produced
plants may be found to have become as
strong and vigorous as those nearer the
parent stool. When all the plants are
year old we doubt if any one could tell
which was the first to take root the pre-
vious season. Selecting one or two of
the first plants produced on strawberry
runner may be good thing for the anna
teur, but is scarcely practicable where
plants are produced in large quantities,
;as in common nursery. New York

FEED THE STRAW.

In all Industries, the use OF the bye
products is great source of profit. The
straw in grain growing has much food
value. To cure straw in the proper
manner the grain is housed in good con-
dition, or is so stacked that the weather
will affect it but little. When threshed,
it is put up in neat stacks which will
shed rain, or, If possible, placed under
shelter. If in stacks, when the feeding
season arrives it is so cut down with the
hay knife that only portion of it may
be uncovered at time. This applies
moro particularly to oat and barley
straw, the feeding value of which for
farm stock Is considered to be worth
half as much as timothy hay, pound for
pound

The music was delightful and the
dancing was participated in by all pres
ent with the greatest Zest and enjoyment.
The ladies presented souvenirs of gilded
