EsIximos Find the Faithful Animal a

encc.
Without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast Of America
would find it impossible to exist in it's
chosen home" So writes e. W.. Nelson,
in his Mammals Of Northern Alaska"
They are used in the winter for hunt
ing, sledge-drawiug and the like, but in
summer are mostly left to- shift for
themselves. They receive much hard
usage, as well as do much hard work,
but are described, nevertheless, as a
rollicking set, full of play, fond of hu-
man society aud quarrelsome as school
boys. Mr.. Nelson credits them with G.
vein, of humor and declares that their
varying characteristics eau be read in
their faces. They are worth from 81 to
$15 piece, according to age. size and
intelligence. For sledge drawing they
are harnessed in teams of either sew
en- or nine-three or four pairs and a
leader. The load is $50 to 700 pounds
and the course is mainly through un-
broken snow or over rough ice. With
team of seven dogs and load Of
more than 800 pounds Mr.. Nelson
made a journey Of more than 1900
miles in about two months. The last
sixty miles We're made over bad road
il a continuous pull of twentyone
hours. They are much affected by the
moon. During full moon half the night
is spent by them in bowling in chorus.
During the entire winter at st. Mi
chaels," says Mr.. Nelson, I'VE were in
variably given a chorus every moon
light night, and the dogs of two neigh
boring villages joined in the serenade. -
He speaks of it's "wild, weird har-'
mony," and seems to have found it
agreeable rather than otherwise. The
influence of the moon is also very ap-
! parent when the dogs are travelling.
! They brighten up as the moon rises,
| and pricking up their ears start off as
! if they had forgotten their fatigue.
! The fur traders take advantage Of this
fact, and sometimes lie over during the
day and travel at night The dogs en-
dure an astonishing degree Of cold.
NJ. Nelson saw a female with two
ne WY born puppies lying upon the
snow near a hut, with no sign of shel-

Ike Swell Toad Not Naturally Big
How to Have Fun With Him.
What is called the "swelr' toad on
the Carolina and Georgia coast is in
his natural state only about six inches
in length and four inches across the
back, but he is endowed with wonder
full expansive faculties, being capable
Of initiating himself like Yale football
on the slightest provocation. Many
tales are told Of his poisonous quail
ties and of the death-dealing fluids that
are stored away at the base Of his
fangs, but all naturalists agree that the
toad is nonv"romous and that stories
to the con; y are but bits Of idle folk
lore. Be this as it may, the coasters
handle him (when they condescend to
touch the ugly creatures at ally as chart

He cannot expel the air which the irri-

st. Louis Republican says, it has been
known to expand until it is as tight as
a drum and had lost all semblance to
animated life. 1t has even been re-
lated of them that they would continue
to expand under irritation until the
body would finally burst from over-in.

THE ELK PLAYED POSSUM.
A Surprise Awaited the Hunter who
Started in to Skin the Beast.

Started in to Skin the Beast.
IAN elk beats the devil for mis-
chief,'' said James Gourley to a writer
for the New York Sun. "One time I
was hunting on the Yellowstone river
with Uncle Pete McDougall and a
squaw man named Jackson, and every
kind of game that you ever saw was
found there. We shot no end of buff
falo, deer and antelope, and thought
the list complete when we struck a
band Of elk in the open valley. The
squaw man said that the only way to
kill an elk was to bury yourself in a
clump Of bushes and wait for him to
come to you. I knew better, and so
we herded up the group and tried to
close in on them in circle. Well,
they all got away except one bull,

shot at hiT. was fattering myself
that it was a great shot when saw

get any of the meat And with that

where he was hit. I got square over
on his neck, and was just reaching with
my knife to take the skin from his
head when of all surprises ever got
that was the worst. The bull elk just
| raised ZIP in the air with me on his
neck, and tossing his head, caught me
| squarely on his horns. I came down
like a piece of lead ore in a thousand

! horns, but he jerked my grip away
, and threw me high in the air and on
| the ground, where I lay with the
breath knocked out Of me and too
scared to move and thinking he would
trample me to death in the sage brush.
| Finally my friends got in their work.
| The elk had so much fun that he did

Farm Notes.

While there is large amount OF
wheat in farmers hands, there is too
much corn on the farmers foot.
The fly may be destructive of her fall
sowed grain, but it takes the Flyer to
aunihilate distance.
1t does not pay to doctor very sick
fowls. Use simple remedies in the be-
ginning of the disease. If, however, the
disease has rooted itself, it is generally
advisable to kill the bird and bury it's
carcass.
1t has never been found profitable to
convert the apiary into a curiosity shop
filled with job lot Of hives of all the
different latterns. Endeavor to have
all or nearly all hives of the same pat
tern and fitted with the best improve
mentS.
The greatest success in agriculture, as
in everything else, is only alta ned after
years of toll and actual experience.
In order to obtain nice yellow bees
wax, avoid using iron vessels in melt
it, as the iron invariably darkens the
wax. Tin, brass OF copper vessels are
better.
Comb honey producers. Of Southern
California have been searching for
some material from which to make one
pound sections. So far nothing has been
found that is equal to Eastwood. 1t is
light, white and contains no gum1ny
substance. ...
There are certain principles which
are equally essential, whether one is
growing stock or cultivated crops. One
thing that m11Sf no 6Ono in oi tho, no 90
is to weed closely. Some men never
think of wedding out the inferior calves
or pigs, but go on breeding them and
so perpetuate their bad qualities.
Two-fifths of the entire value of the
corn is in the fodder But this does not
profit he farmer much unless he uses
due care in harvesting and feeding it.
Fodder that is still standing in the field
the first of January is long way from
having two-fifths the value Of the grain
which is carefully husked and housed.
A smooth meadow makes easy now
ing. It is a good plan to roll the land
as early as possible in spring, using a
heavy roller and carrying box upon it
in which to put all surface stones. It
| pays better to pickQ these up than to
leave them to break your mower knives
on. @
The branch Of agriculture which has
the very least of speculative nature
| about it is to produce such things as
can be consumed on the land and mar
| keted on the hoof. Even if man has
not much business talent, he cannot go
very far wrong if he sticks to this
course right through.

FOUGHT A DUEL WITH CLUBS

Brawny Montana PrOspectOrs Who
Drew Lots for the First Blow.
"rhe most remarkable duel I ever
witnessed,' said William A. Gladwin to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat man,
twas away out in Montana several
years ago. It wasn't one of your fin
de steele affairs of honor, nor was it
a glove contest for points; it was sim
ply an attempt to decide who was able
to give and take the most punishment.
Two burly fellows in our prospecting
party had a difference which they
wanted to settle by shooting each 9TH
er. and it was only by disarming them
both that we saved their bullets. The
men were very surly after being de-
prived of their six-shooters and for sew
eral hours did not speak. Inen they
approached each other and conversed
with calmness which some Of the
party mistook for burial Of the hatch
ct, and the wag of the crowd handed
over his plug and invited the to Chew

adjoining timber, going in opposite di-

mans skull being battered. followed
up the sound and was soon the spec

Each had his face. covered with blood

for a moment overcome with horror,
and then drawing my revolver came
forward and compelled the combat-
ants to quit. Neither suffered perma-
nently from his punishment, and the
exponents Of one Of the most brutal
dueling codes ever heard of lived to be-
come fairly friendly with each other
