COW AND LEOPARD.
A Bovine Mother That Bravely Defended
Hor Offspring.

a Mother
Hor Offspring.
A man who has spent much time In
the observation of the ways and habits
of the wilder sorts of animals tells the
following curious story of the audacity
Of leopard which paid a nocturnal
visit to the cattle-shed of a blacksmith:
A native COW had a calf This being
her first-born, the mother was exceed
ingly vicious and it was unsafe for a
stranger to approach her, especially as
her horns were unusually long and
pointed
The cattle-shed was scooped out of the
hillside and was within a few feet Of
the blacksmiths house. The roof was
thatched. During the night a leopard,
which smelt the presence of the cow and
calf, mounted the roof of the shed and
proceeded to force an entrance by
scratching through the thatch.
The cow at the same time detected
the presence of the leopard and, ever
mindful of her calf, stood ready to re-
ceive the intruder. 1t is supposed that
| upon the leopard's descent it was at
once pinned to the ground before it had
time to make its spring.
The noise of tremendous struggle
aroused the blacksmith, who, with a
lantern in his hand, opened the cattle
shed door and discovered the cow in a
frantic state, butting and tossing to and
fro some large object, which evidently
had lost all power of resistance. This
was the leopard in the last gasp, having
been run through the body by the ready
horns of the courageous mother, whose
| little calf was nestled in q corner, un-
mindful of the maternal struggle

What a Horse Can Do.

A horse will travel 400 yards in four
and half minutes at a walk, 400 yards
in two minutes at trot, 400 yards in
one minute at a gallop. The usual
work of horse is taken at %, 500 pounds
raised one foot per minute for eight
hours per day. A horse will carry $50
pounds twenty-five miles per day of
eight hours. An average draft horse
will draw 1000 pounds twenty-three
miles per day on level road, weight of
wagon included. The average
weight of a horse is 1000 pounds; his
strength is equivalent to that of five
men. In a horse mill moving at three
feet per second, track twenty-five feet
diameter, he exerts with the machine
the power of four and half horses.
The greatest amount horse caR pull
irsa horizontal line is 900 pounds, but
he can only do this momentarily; In
continued exertion probably half OF
this is the limit. He attains his growth
in five years, will live twenty-five,
average sixteen years. A horse will
live twenty-five days on water without
solid food, but only five days on solid
food without drinking Humane World.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

GEORGE A. SMITH, speaking at a re-
cent New York institute, said the cow
should not be salted periodically-once
or twice a wcels-but be given free ac-
cess to it at all times.
A FEW crab-apples Of the best sort
should have place in every orchard, or
they may be planted about the home
grounds, as they are quite ornamental
for good portion of the year.
Hoes are cleaner than cows when
they have chance to be clean. The
reputation the hog has obtained is not
deserved. Even his appetite is no
quite as exemplary. Give the hog a
chance.
AS A covering for hot-beds, in place
of glass, muslin may be used, provided
1t is made waterproof. 10 do this dip
the muslin in linseed oil before stretch
ing it on the frame, and then give it a
coating of n mixture of raw egg and lin
seed oil, or varnish 1t with transparent
varnish.
IT has been discovered that potatoes
can be prevented from sprouting by
lmmersipg them for ten hours in solu-
zion of one part sulphuric acid in fifty
parts water, in wooden tank, without
injury to the potatoes. A trial OF the
process with few potatoes will not
tost over five cents.
SOME men set IL tree as they would a
fence post, but such will never make
rood fruit-growers. The hole for the
tree should be made wide and deep, and
Ihe bottom filled with good, rich earth.
Then set the tree firmly and put good
stake beside it and bind belt of soft
material about the tree and the stake

People who Regard Toothpicks and
Matches as Public Property.
The large hotels In all the cities OF
this country carry upon their annual
expense account from one thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars chargeable to
paper, envelopes, matches and tooth
picks supplied to guests and strangers.
The strangers use more of them than
the guests. A square box, in which are
kept dozen necessary things-such as
cards, matches, envelopes and tooth
picks-stands on the counters of most
hotels. This box has to be constantly
replenished. The proprietor of q large
New York hotel furnishes some interest
ing information regarding the way in
which his hotel is systematically robbed
by guests and strangers. Five hundred
envelopes and one thousand sheets OF
paper are required daily. Strangers
appear at the desk, and with the utmost
nonchalance ask for writing materials,
which are furnished If the person be
respectable in appearance. 1t is a
| common thing to see strangers enter
hotel writing-room and fill their
| fountain pens from the ink bot
ties. Blotting-paper given away costs
ten dollars a month. Every visitor to
the hotel believes himself entitled to
toothpicls and matches. He takes q
handful of the former and fills his
pocket matchbox at the counter with
the latter. 1t costs fifteen dollars a
month to supply these trihing articles.
Pens and penholders and ink bottles
disappear at the rate of dozen a day.
But, alas! these are not the only losses
to which hotel men are compelled to
submit. The attendants in the wash
room will tell you that strangers enter
and slip cakes of soap into their pockets.
The small hand-towels that are sup.
piled to guests are carried off at the rate
of hundreds every year. There is diff.
ference in the class of men who merely
take what is supposed to be free and
those who filch what is known to be the
property of the hotel. The latter men
are thieves! Tides are carried away
from the chairs, and sheets and pillow.

las n Green Manure.
When bought my present farm Of
ixty-five acres in the fall of the year,
found 1t in badly rundown condition.
Not one acre of meadow was on the
place, and the tenant declared that it
was too poor to raise clover. COM

Of the farm to fall wheat, and the poor

city, and when could not get load of
manure given to me, could easily buy
q two-horse load for twenty-five cents.
This used as topdressing on the fall
crops. very thinly, of course. In spring
sowed clover and timothy seed on the
wheat and so much rye as had top

five toothed steel harrow, which served
the double purpose of covering the
seed and fining the manure. The bal

and again rolled and narrowed till time g

was no trouble in locating the line OF

AS soon as it was time to stop cult.

In manipulating frames it is quite an
advantage to have them rest on as small

especially the case in cool weather, and
loosening them jars the frames and
greatly disturbs the bees. To over

of the tin rabbet. This will make the

Before their final disposition the
boxes should be filled with soil level

Furnished a Bail Bond and Must Remain

 Debtors Oath.
 An execution was issued yesterday against the body of ex-Mayor o. R. Baldwin on judgment of $2,S75. Judgment for this amount was awarded to William J. Kelly and wife of New York before Judge Fenn in the superior court last Wednesday. The suit grew out of the failure of the Naugatuck Granite company, of which ex-Mayor Baldwin was one of the off, cers.
 MT Baldwin arrived in New Haven from New York yesterday and was at the New Haven house all day waiting for the execution to be issued. Attorney Cole of Waterbury sent word to Clerk AnketelI to issue the execution. MT Anketell replied that he would have nothing to do with the matter. Attor. ney Cole then issued the execution him self and sent Attorney Henry c. Bald win of Naugatuck to serve it. This morning Deputy Sheriff Pond served the execution on ex-Mayor Bald win. As he did not pay the same or | turn over property to satisfy the execu- tion in accordance with the terms of the instrument, Sheriff Pond placed the body of MT Baldwin in the hands oi Sheriff Tomlinson. Mir Baldwin fur nished bail bond of S3,5OO, which wal given by Judge Lynde Harrison. This bond permits MT Baldwin to enjoy tho liberties of the jail, which in a techni cal term meaning the city of New Haven, until he has taken the pool debtors oath. This process will involve stay in New Haven of from two t' | three weeks.

At the time there were in the building twelve blooded horses. J. Hazelton Cook did the work of rescuing the horses. Just as he was trying to get the last one, a brood mare, the whole building col lapsed and in a second was a mass of ruins. MT Cook succeeded, however, in getting the horse out in safety, but he himseH sustained slight injuries.
