what the Red squirrel Knows.

Few boys know as much about the
hickory-nut as the common red, or
Hudson Bay, squirrel knows. 1t sup
plies him with his favorite food both
winter and summer, and for that rea-
son, probably, he has given it close
attention and knows its peculiarities
as we'll as a scientist. In the autumn,
when the nutting season begins, the
squirrel prepares for his harvest, and
like a good husbandman has both a
barn and granary. His barn is a
well-decayed log, with plenty Of rot
ting leaves lying about it, and his
granary a dry hollow in tree.
When the proper time comes, he
climbs the well-loaded shell-bark
hickory, and begins to throw down
the nuts by biting the twig to which
each is attached. This slight shock
Is sufficient, when the nut is ripe, to
send them rattling through the with
ering leaves to the ground. In an
hour an industrious squirrel will
shake down enough to keep himself
busy for the remainder of the day.
And when at work few animals are
as industrious as the red squirrel.
AS he runs out one branch after
another and strips it Of its nuts, he
is very much in earnest, for his win
ter supply of provisions depends on
his activity.
His next task is to carry the nuts
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-07-13

to his barn, where he buries them
among the leaves and under the de-
Caying wood. This is done so that
the moisture and warmth will cause
the thick outer husks to split and
fall off.
When they have been buried for a
week or ten days, it is found that
each husk has split into four parts,
which fall off as soon as the nut is
moved. This process also enables
the little harvester to separate the
good nuts from the bad, as the husks
on the wormY ones refuse to be loos-
ened. The result is that the nuts he
carries to his granary are all round
and edible.
In the summer time his choicest
food is the top root of the hickory
Seeding. The shell-bark hickory tree
AS any one who has ever removed a
stump knows-sends down into the
earth, often to considerable depth,
a straight central root. When the
Seeding is but a few months old, and
consists only Of a twig and a few
leaves, this root is quite soft and
very sweet. This the squirrel knows,
and it is his delight to dig up and
eat the dainty morsels.

Expensive Sport.
In Southern Hindostan, where
damage suits are rare, the loss Of a
human life is often not thought worth
mentioning, but the price Of an ele-
plant varies from $500 to $500, and
good saddle horses are so rare that a
tiger hunt now and then ceases to be
a one-sided kind Of sport. At a Cir
Gle hunt In the jungles Of Ranger,
in the province Of Hyderabad, the
result of one tiger killed, one cub
killed, and one captured, was Offset
by three dead and one wounded cool
les, two dead horses, and two man
gled elephants, besides the loss Of
lot Of baggage and camping outfit,
carried by a stampeded elephant in
the rear ranks Of the expedition, and
the hunters had, after all, to retreat
without accomplishing their object of
killing an inveterate man-eater.
AS a rule, however, dogs pay the
main share Of the penalties incident
to the failure Of such enterprises.

clearly prefer revenge to flight.
In the interior Of Ceylon there
are mountain forests where the
cave bear (ursus labatus) finds a safe
retreat from the pursuit Of the native
hunters, but, II wounded, that small
relative Of our grizzly will invariably
turn upon his aggressors, and decline

Wounds Un(elt.
Mental excitement will operate like
an anesthetic, and wounded soldiers
have often attested the curious fact
that saber cuts and pistol bullets
may not only be disregarded, but ac-
tually remain unfelt, in the heat Of a
hand-to-hand combat, and announce
themselves only by their incidental
etfects-the stlffening Of wounded
arm or the faintness following great
loss of blood. On a similar theory
we may account for the often-repeat-
ed assertion that grizzly bears can
not be hurt, a bullet falling to pene-
trate his brain or the heart. The
truth seems to be that the effects Of
wounds, eventually fatal, may be
temporarily neutralized by the rage
Of the vindictive brute. In Mendo-
ciuo county, Cal. some two hundred
miles north Of San Francisco, there
are jungles absolutely impenetrable
to modern hunters, and where bears
would be as safe as their Arctic
cousins among the glaciers Of the
North Pole; but grizzlies, at the very
edge of those tanglewoods, have been
known to forfeit a frst-class chance
of escape rather than forego the
pleasure of revenge.
His is that frenzy Of vindictiveness
strictly limited to carnivorous ami
mails. Capt. Charles Baldwin, In the
chronicle of his South African tray
els, describes q trip to the head

Feed for Poultry.

A quart of corn, twice a day. to
twenty hens, is supposed to be a
proper allowance, but no estimate
can be arrived at, as hens will not
thrive on corn alone, nor will all hens
in flock eat alike, or prefer the
same kind OF food When feeding
the hens give them a variety, but
never give them more than they can
eat up clean. 1t is better to give too
little than too much. In the winter
the hens should have two good meals
each day. but in summer one meal is
ample. If they are on a range it is
safe to assert that one-half Of the
quantity supposed to be a meal will
be sufficient The poultryman must

The castor bean is a native of the
West India Islands where it grows In
great luxurianCe. 1t is cultivated as
a field crop in our lower Middle States
and also In the States bordering the
Ohio River on the north. 1t is raised
extensively in India where there are
two chief types; one large bush or
tree-like form, the other a much
smaller variety. The seed of the
larger produces an abundance of oil
but of an inferior quality while the
seed of the lower growing variety
furnishes the oil which is used as a
medicine. The manner of cultiva-
tion, according to the Orange Judd
Farmer, is essentially the same
wherever raised, In this country it
is planted in rich mellow soil and
hoed much the same as corn. 1t
yields beans at the rate of twenty to
thirty bushels per acre. There are
number of different methods of ex-
tracing the oil from the seeds, BY
experiments which have been made

called, extracts the most oil and the
product is also better than that OBJ

Cutting Glover Too Early.

There is a certain time up to which
clover will not be eaten by cattle if
they can get any grass. We have
seen them often in May and until
near the first of June eating the grass
out of the corners of fences bare to
the ground, while large mouthfuIs Of
clover would be passed by untouched.
But so soon as buds and blossoms be-
gin to appear they would be greedily
eaten, and in very few days the whole
plant would be eaten. About the
time the clover is in full blossom is
therefore the best time to cut it for
hay, the cow being the Judge. Elk

There are comparatively few large
mixers among sows. The whole
breeding of the hog has for so many
generations been diverted to fat pro-
duction rather than milk production.
In a large litter of pigs extra feeding
must be begun 80 soon as the pigs
can begin to eat, which will be when
they are a week or ten days old.
Skim milk from cows is the best feed,
but with half milk and half dish
water a nourishing swill can be made
by adding line wheat middlings with
a very little linseed-oil meal. Pigs
thus fed will grow as well as fatten,
and will be always thrifty.

The owners of fighting dogs might
stick to the opinion that the inter
vention of a second Newfoundlander
would have changed the issue Of the
combat, but the sportsmen Of the
Transvaal Republic would probably
incline to g different theory. The
antelope hounds of that hunters
paradise occasionally come across a
leopard, the next relative of the
North American panther, and in such
cases the hunter will not hesitate to
shoot the first dog who should follow
the trail in defiance Of his masters
prOtest-to prevent the baying Of the
leader from Turing the whole pack to
certain destruction. A leopard, bolt
ing through the bushes in the van of
a dog brigade, will regret the inter-
ference of their master, and look
back as if he would greatly prefer to
have another five minutes fun all to
himself. Without checking his speed,
and even without warning his pursu-
ers by any preparatory movement, he
will strike back left and right, as
soon as dog comes fairly in range
Of his paws, and every hit is sure to
do the business for that particular
cur. A lucky shot might turn the
tables in favor of the pursuers, but
