he will sometimes utilize for the same
purpose, and some horses will crib on
their own bodies. Others learn to crib
without any support at all. 1t has been
clearly proved that what is known as
eribbing is not, as was once thought,
an act of belching and expelling gas
from the stomach and swallowing air
into it.
Horses killed after criSbingh have had
the gases in their stomachs and intes-
tines subjected to chemical analysis.

found. Moreover, other experiments
have been made which lead to the same
conclusion. An empty bladder inserted
in the gullet in q prescribed way IS
found to be distended with pure cir
after the act of cribbing. The vice OF
crib-biting, in the way it is most usually
performed, is destructive to the teeth
of the horse, and so interferes with
the proper mastication of his food.
Swallowing air, however, in any way
frequently results in serious intestinal

Russia In the Pamirs.

Close upon the announcement that
Great Britain has lately practically
recognized the Chinese claim to o V
ereignty in the Pamir country, in
Central Asia, comes the news that Rus
STA has already established a garrison
in the disputed territory, and that she
is preparing to move O large number 0.
troops into the region during the COM
ing summer.
The Pamir strip is generally recog'
nized as being without the Russian
sphere of action in Asia, and it is com.
monty accepted as certain that neither
China mol the Government of Great
Britain can assent to the occupation OF
the territory by Russian troops.
Threatened raids into the country have
already been the subject of urgent
protests on the part Of Great Britain,
and once already this same subject has
been the cause of seriously strained re
lations between the two countries.
The claim of the Chinese Government
to sovereignty in the disputed territory
would seem to point to trouble between
China and Russia should the repor'
ofthe Russian occupation be confirmed
and as Great Britain has practically
sssented to the Chinese claim, and ha'
herself already protested against the
advance of Russia into, the Pamirs, an.
trouble that may grow;out OF the aftaI
is sure to involve that power.
The news from Central Asia will
therefore, be watched with interest
the more particularly as there is
deep-seated conviction that the mex
war is likely to arise from Russian ag
erosion in that part OF the world

WHEN A srro Is INDISPENSABLE.

The silo is indispensable for awinter
dairy. And this makes necessary a
series of crops most suitable for the
purpose. AS the main reliance is on
corn for the ensilage, there will be
little else grown, but the summer feed
ing of COW is a simple matter. This
should be by ~pasturing, which is the
cheapest mode Of feeding COWS and by
far the most convenient, as there will
be no time taken up in driving them
back and forth, as they will remain in
the pasture during the three summer
months. 1t is thus cen that the
winter dairy is most economical in
every way, and more profitable than
ordinary dairying as well.-New York

Yermont's Mammoth Cave

Vermont has q mysterious cave which
for generations has been regarded by
the country folks as the headquarters
for hobgoblins or other residents of
spirit land. A newspaper man lately
explored it's depths to a limited extent
and says he found a wonderful freak OF
nature. The opening of the cave is a
large tissue in the side of the mountain
bordering on Maidstone Lake, in the
town of Maidstone. Alexander twenty
feet deep and ten feet high, encased in
solid walls of ice, leads-to a huge cham
Der in which is aspiring of unusual size,
bubbling in o little pond. The water
dashes down q steep incline through q
tunnel, and then falls owe a preclplce
so high that the sound of the falling
water can not be heard. By following
q circuitous route down q steep incline
for a distance of 100 yards the explor-
ers reached the brook again in another
big chamber filled with level boulders
of granite apparently disloged from the
roof of the cave by earthquakes. The
explorers followed the course OF the
brook and emerged from the cave on
the opposite side OF the mountain, a
distance of nearly two miles overland
from where they entered. The cave is
one of immense size, and contains
many chambers which the explorers
did not dare enter without tho proper
Instruments for measuring distances
and apparatus for scaling the precl-
pices which are known to exist. New

aG the first sight of o mas, jump into
the ocean and disappear. So the
hunters conceal themselves in the
nelghborhood until a favorable night
comes on-a night when the moon is
partially obscured by clouds and the
wind Is blowing from the shore. When
III herd of sea-lions are fast asleep
with only q waking sentry here and
there, the hunters slip down to the
beach at low water and proceed to
crawl on all tours, Indian fashion, be.
tween the sea and the doing herd.
The sentries either do not see them OF
else in the dim light mistake them fo1
fellow seals. At all events, they rarely
give the alarm. Slowly, cautiously
the hunters creep along until they
have completely intercepted their
prey. Then at a given signal from the
leader they leap to their feet, shout,
yell, brandish their arms, fire off pis-
tolls and create a regular pandmonium.
The startled sea-lions, reused suddenly
from their eaumbers, answer with loud
rOars of dismay and alright and found
er off in all directions.
If their heads happen to be pointed
seward at the moment of awaken
ing, off they go toward the sea; if
landward then they follow that course
lust as blindly and desperately.
Nothing can turn them from the
straight course. It is the land-turned
animals whom the hunters pursue,
leaving the others to escape as they
please. They follow them with
hideous shouts and wild gesticulations,
until the poor terrified creatures fall
painting. gasping prone upon the earth
and at the mercy of their cunning
captors. They pen them up in in
closures made only of stakes with a
line or two of linen rope stretched in

escape through their fimsy bonds.
When a sufficient number have been
