al once Observed" said Lamartine
Gibson to st. Louis Globe Democrat
man, "what was to me new and inter-
esting sight-that OF half-dozen buzz
yards killing a snake. 1t was years ago,
near Sheboull, I'll. One June morning l
sat on rail fence under walnut tree,
overlooking field of growing wheat,
when observed high in the air two or
three buzzards sailing about, just as lazy
and delightfully."- smooth as one could
imagine, around and around in circle.
1t was net long until several more arrived
and then counted half dozen. They
drew nearer from over patch of woods
and dropped near the ground in the next
field. Here they circled about, every
now and then swooping close to the
earth, and all at once arose with great,
black, wriggling cord that at once
imagined must be snake. The buzzard
dropped the snake from about fifteen feet
up and then dropped right after it and
brought it up again. jumped from the
fence and ran across the field over near
where the battle, somewhat lopsidely,
was progressing.
The half dozen buzzards were close to-
gether, taking turn about at the snake,
carrying it aloft and then dropping it
with deadly thud. thought at the
time that snake could not stand many
falls like that, and so l grabbed a stick
and ran near to where 1t last fell. NY
approach scared them away. One bird,
however, made swoop and gathered
the snake by the back, but the beak
grip was not strong enough and the SER
pept fell to the ground. Preached there
before the bird could swoop again, and
stood guard over the remains. The snake
was stunned to death. 1t was consider
ably torn-a great, long black snake
fully five feet in length and one and
half inches in thickness. ! added a few
blows with my club for assurance sake
and then walked away to see if the buzz
yards would return. They had ascended
high into the air, but they were still over
the spot, circling about, awaiting my de-
parture. ] drew off and sat down by
the fence. Then they came down. One
seized the reptile and sailed away, closely
followed by the other five. 1t was
battle of birds then, and in the scrimmage
the reptile was frequently dropped. The
contest continued far over the fields and
out of my vision"

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

/ FARM AND 6AhDEN NOIESs
Thunbergia makes a fine appearance
in hanging baskets.
Good words are said for both the Kan.
sas and Lovett raspberries.
Great claims continue to be made for
the "all-head" early cabbage.
The tent caterpillar and fall web worm
can be easily destroyed by spraying.
From the Southern and Middle States
come good reports of the Elberta peach.
Dwarf apple trees are obtained by
grating upon the Paradise aud Dou-
clan stock.
Claims made for the Champion peach
include hardness, productiveness, large
size and fine flavor.
Special farming is more profitable
than general farming, as the latter
divides the attention.
The principal objection to using pull
lets for Matching Is that often they do
not make good mothers.
Ducklngs are easier fed than chickens,
as almost anything agrees with them,
provided it is sweet and sound.
The housewife may grow her parsley
in a box in warm cellar window; 1t
grows readily and requires but little
heat.
An advantage with ducklings over any
other kind of young poultry Is that they
will thrive much better under confne.
ment.
In many cases if the soft messe, were
baked and then crumbled fine before
feeding the young chickens would thrive
better.
The sooner now the hens can be in.
duced to sit the better the opportunity
for profit, both with the young chickens
and the matured fowls.
Meat is needed only when tho fowls
are confined so that they cannot get insect
food. When they have good range
feeding meat is rarely necessary.
Do not attempt too many poultry
breeds at once unless you are prepared to
keep them separate; promiscuous cross
ing does not pay even on the farm.
Much of the farmers success depends
on his wife. She should be his confidant
in his business affairs, aud her comfort
should be d constant consideration.
Before going into duck raising too
largely, look after the market for them,
as in some localities it is difficult to sell
them at fair price, especially young
ones.
Many stock growers are now feeding
split corn, by which is meant corn on
the ear, split into slivers lengthwise of
the cob, thus utilizing the whole corn
product of fodder, grain and cob.
Cooperative insect warfare is sug-
gested by one who believes in the feasl-
bility of community obtaining some
man who knows something about insects,
who should spray the orchards and look
after insect pests.
Young blackberry shoots ought to be
summer pruned when about four feet
nigh, to encourage the growth of later
ais, which in turn may be cut bs ok when
about eighteen inches in length, all of
which will produce stocky bush.
"Success With Flowers" says: "Tae
red spider will not flourish in room
whose air is kept properly moist. Mois-
ture is his especial aversion. The only
thing that will put him to rout is water
applied freely and frequently. Be sure
to see that it gets to all part, of the
plant aud especially the under side of
the leaves"

Found Pctrified Palm Trees.

W. @. Hart, the Colorado geologist
who been employed to assist in collect
ing the Wyoming mineral display for the
Worlds Fair, has made a notable dis
covery near Rawlings, Wyoming. He
has uncovered bed of petrifed palm
trees, and yesterday shipped 1000 pounds
of the find to Cheyenne. The specimens
are rare aud beautiful. Pieces for the
display found near here will include fiat
rocks carrying prehistoric skeletons ol
birds and animals. Chicago Herald.

DISCARD THE USE OF THE WHIP.

1t is noticeable fact that the most
successful drivers of trotting horses sell
dom use the whip. Even when hard
fought races are on and sensational fin
ishes are made the extreme limit of speed
is occurred without the use of the lash.
There is lesson in this, not only for
the drivers of trotting horses, but for
those who handle any kind of horses.
With the proper training draft horse
will reach the limit of his power and ex-
ert every muscle In his body under kind
treatment as quickly as he will when
abused with the whip. A horse that
will respond to the request for his best
effort in kind way Is one that can be
depended upon under any and all cir
cumstances. 1t is the fault of the driver
in nine cases out of ten when the use of
the whip is made necessary. When
horsemen once understand that kind
words are worth more to urge horse to
his full capacity in any direction, the
use of the whip will be very limited

LuMPY JAW IN CATTLE.

Doctor De Salmon, Chief of the Bur-
eau of Animal Industry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, returned to Wash.
ington from Chicago, when he concluded
the experiments which had been in pro-
gress in that city to test the-effect of
treatment of lumpy jaw in cattle.
Eighty-fve cattle were slaughtered, all
of which had been affected with this dis
ease, and sixty-eight were found to be
completely cured.
This is even better than the showing
made when the first lot of 100 animals
were killed, which showed sixty three
per cent. of cures. Secretary Rusk
stated that this completes the test and
demonstrated the perfect success of the
experiment, which, he says, will prove
of incalculable benefit to the stock
growers.-New York News.

JUMPING SHEEP.

The habit of sheep in always follow
ing their leader makes the jumping habit
easy to acquire and hard to cure. Even
. barbed wire will not teach them eau
ton, perhaps because their wool rather
than their skin is caught and torn by the
barbs. The safest way is not to lead
sheep into temptation by poor fences.

A man Is Caught under a Rapidly ReVolv-
ing BOlt-HiS Foot Crushed.
About half past eleven yesterday fore
noon Ed Burt, engineer at the Gilleland
glue factory, met with bad accident.
He got his foot caught in pulley, and
was being rapidly drawn in, when he
caught hold OF a post and held on with
a desperate grasp until fellow work
man could stop the machinery. He
said that had relief come minute later
he must have let go and been drawn
through, as his hold was weakening.
AS it was his right foot was terribly
crushed, as was also the ankle bone,
and his leg was torn and bruised clear
up to the knee,
He was hauled to his homo at 81
Fwenty.Seyenth street in the city patrol
wagon, after DR.. Eskey had made him
as comfortable as possible temporarily.
In all probability he will lose his foot
and at any rate will be permanently
crippled, He is about twenty-six years
old, and married. He formerly ran on
