Barnum by Sheriff McKinnon, and is

Sherman fled from Waupaca shortly

Jams heard from him at Northern Pa

A Na.uralis. and the Snake charmer.

- -~--~~ - ~~~~~-~
A story used to be told at Cairo of the
late Sir Richard Owen during one Of his
sojourns m Egypt. The great naturalist
was seated In the shade on the veranda
at Sheppeard's hotel, as is the postpran-
dial wont of visitors to that famous hos
telry, when the inevitable snake charmer
came to him and produced from his bag
Q lively specimen of the horned asp-the
deadly cerastes. The professor gazed,
and nothing daunted stopped and
plucked the horns from the head of the
reptile wriggling at his feet, remarling
to q bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
off upon any one else harmless snake
as cerastes by the aid of a couple of
fish bones. With anybody else the
charmer would probably have succeeded
BE had tried it on the wrong man.

Good Waather For Crons.

The autumn weather has been ex-
tremely favorable for the garnering of
the crops. In Middle Georgia there was
an abundance of rain in August, a little
over 10 inches falling in that month, but
since the two inches OF rain on Sept s,
and up to Oct. %, there had been fall of
but little over an inch, which occurred on
Oct. 3, OF course such weather was IA
vOrable to the harvesting of the corn and
the cotton, and the hay. The dry weather
may have interfered with the seeding of
grain and clover in some localities. but if
advantage had been duly taken of the
seasonable rains in the first week of Sep
TENDER and the like period in October,
there could have been no complaint of I'M
favorable weather even for starting the
grain, grass or clover crops.
In Southern Georgia and Florida.
however, the bulk of these sowings
are made in November. In Flor
ida oats and like crops sown in that
month usually succeed, but it is much
safer and better every way to make the
sowiugs in October In Southern, as well
as in Middle Georgia, the January freezes
every now and then do great damage to,
even if they do not kill entirely, Noyem-
Der sown oats In this matter, it is much
better to sow early than little too late.
Farmers in these sections of our state
that value the oat crop, and all should do
so, should be prepared to take advantage
Of the first seasonable weather that oc-
ours after September 10 to put in their
oats. If sowing is deferred until Novem-
Der, or even to the goth of October, dry
weather occurring in November
and December may prevent the plants
from forming the necessary roots to
enable them to withstand the freezes that
are quite sure to occur some time in Jan
uary, and occasionally in February. Sown
in October the oat crop is about as sure
as any that is sown or planted by our
farmers, and 1T certainly is a valuable
one. But it must have good land, as well
as other crops. 1t pays to put the crop
in properly, and this is not readily done
without the use of the harrow aud the
roller. Grain growing cannot be carried
on with the best results without the use
Of these implements, and it is a pity
more of our farmers are not provided with
them.

ceiYed alfalfa alone In this experiment
alfalfa alone gave a much better result
than sorghum alone, but the coordination
of the two proved superior to either fed
singly. This is what might be expected,
judging the two feeding stuffs from their
chemical composition. Sorghum stalks.

feed. Cattle will eat the stalks of the
sweet varieties nearly clean, but take the
heads and leaves of the non-swect varie-
ties and reject most of the stalk He says
when the two varieties are fed together,
cattle eat the sweet first. Sorghum is
very generally reported as giving good re-
suits especially when fed with a grain.

reason why so little southern grown is
