tree or log, as il uncertain Of the
direction OF the call; others chased
one another about.
In "a few minutes the chipmunk
caller'was besieged by them. Some
ran all over his person, others under
him, and still others ran up the tree
against which he was sitting. Each
boy remained immovable until their
leader gave the signal, then a shout
arose, and the chipmunks in their
flight all ran up different trees.
Now the shooting-match began.
The little creatures seemed to realize
their hopeless position; they would
endeavor to come down the trees and
flee away from the deadly aim Of the
youthful hunters. But they were
shot down very fast; and whenever
several OF them rushed toward the
ground, the little redskin hugged the
tree and yelled frantically so as to
scare them up again! Each boy
shoots always against the trunk of
the tree, so that the arrow may
bound back to him every time other
wise when he had shot away all Of
them, he would be helpless, and
another, who had cleared tree,
would come and take away his game.
So there was warm competition.
Sometimes desperate chipmunk
would juslp from the top Of the tree
in order to escape, which was con-
sidered joke on the boy from whose
tree it had escaped, and triumph
for the brave little animal. At last
all were killed or gone, and then We
went on to another place, keeping
up the sport until the sun came out,
and the chipmunks refused to answer
the call.-[St. Nicholas.

vegetable. Parsnips can be grown
with less trouble than carrots, from
the fact that the plant is larger when
ii first comes up, and Is more readily
seen and distinguished from weeds.
After the first wedding there is no
more particular work to be done than
with any other hoed crop that is we'll
tended. The soil should be deeply
plowed and enriched and fitted as we'll
as for parsnip bed in garden, and
this can be done on half acre in the
field where team can be used "a
easily as a small patch can be pre-
pared by hand. Naturally moist soil
is no objection if it can be made dry
enough to put the seed in early, and
when ii cannot, the seeds are some-
times sown in the fall, when the soil
is in good condition, as the plants are
perfectly hardy. Get good seed, and
do not SOW too thickly. The great
drawback with beginners in growing
root crops Is their fear ofthinning out
enough. 1t is one of the hardest
things for them to learn. When q man
has msds up his mind that he will do
this, it is better to SOW by machinery
and thin out than to attempt to get
the proper amount of seed in the
right place by hand. On rich soil the
rows should be thirty inches apart,
and the plants not less than three
inches apart in the row. and at these
distances we have had the tops form
dense mass all over the ground. There
are two strong points in favor of pars-
nips. They can be left in the ground
all winter without injury, and if dug
and put in the cellar, where they
wither, they do not lose their taste as
turnips and beets do. They seem to
retain all the sugar when the water
evaporates. People who have only
grown few in a crowded bed in the
garden have little idea how large a
parsnip will grow or how large a crop
can be grown per acre. Three inches
in diameter at the top and foot long
should be the average size, with good
cultivation. They are good for any
animal that will eat them, and can be
made to take the place of potatoes to
great extent on the family table. -

SHEEP AND NATURE,

Among the many curious things
learned at the Worlds Fair was the
fact that the American Merino sheep
was destined 10 be subdivided into
types. This suspicion had previously
existed with those who had closely
observed the tendency to vary from
what WAS once supposed TO be an es-
tablished and necessary standard. In
the past these tendencies were ac-
counted for by careless breeding and
not always complimentary to the line
of blood and veracity OF the breeders.
Here at the Fair, side by side, were
exhibited the same sheep IN blood, but
widely different in size, form and
covering. Nature had asserted her
prerogstives in spite of register as
socistions, and changed the type Of
''she books to suit the environments.
The fittings were complete; the pas
turage of the various regions repre-
sented were exactly reflected in the
size, vigor and fleece qualities of the
sheep. This was we'll illustrate /, and
some curious reflections were in the
minds of all students OF sheep and the
influences of their environments. The
only observations heard from critical
experts ere, "What difference |"
The lessons carried away to be pom
dered over at times of greater leisure.
will be prolific of good later on. The
sheep raisers have been copying other
folks in breeding and attempting to
conform nature to types, instead of
studying natures independence of
theories, standards, and types, and
farming this to their own advantage.
1t is along these lines that the Ameri-
can sheep breeder must study his own
best and possible interests. American

To GROW THE FINEST TOMATOES.

Select a sandy loan with southern
exposure. Put on we'll rotted stable
manure at the rate of ten to fifteen
loads per acre. Plow and harrow
well, SO that il may be thoroughly in
corporated with the soil, or in place
of this two or three shovelfuls of rich
compost may be added TO each hill.
Sow the seed and SOW only that pur-
chased from reliable dealers, or saved
from the finest, earliest specimens, in
the hot bed on the 1st of March.
When two inches high transplant into
cold frames three or four inches apart.
Be sure to shade and water the plants
until well rooted. Transplant again
when four inches high eight inches
apart. This will make fine, stocky
plants, with strong roots. OF course,
protect the cold frames from frosts or
storms by covering when necessary,
but manage to give light and air as
soon as possible after the danger is
over.
By all means be careful not to set
the plants in the open air until all
iiOob 40 O'tis hc
risk is too great aud you gain nothing,
as the plants are growing faster. If
properly transplanted, the earth made
firm" around the stalks, they will be
retarded very little. 1t is better if
possible to set just before rain, or,
if this cannot be done, late in the
afternoon, SO that they may have the
GOODNESS of the night to revive In, but
il strong plants are we'll set they will
wilt but little, and in day or two
will look as thrifty as ever.
Set the plants four by four feet each
way, with the exception of the dwarf
champion, which will bear three by
three feet. Cultivate both ways with
q horse cultivator. Should an uneX-
pected frost occur after settling in the
open ground the plants may be saved,
unless very badly frozen, by thor
ough sprinkling of cold water. We
once saved half on acre by this means (;
but il must be done before sunrise.
In the north, where frost comes early
in the fall, pull the vines before frost
throw them in a large pile or piles
and cover with hay or straw. Green
tomatoes, mstured enough, will ripen
and repay you for the trouble. New

ROLLING MEADOW LAND.

Rolling the meadow, and some
times the pasture land, as soon as the
frost leaves the ground In the spring,
is often done by practical farmers.
The action of frost often throws many
stones to the surface, and when the
ground becomes settled these impedi-
ments are thus left in a position to
cause serious injury to the cutting sp-
paratus of the moving machine. Up
on land liable to heave by action Of
frost the surface soil is left uneven,
many tufts OF timothy are nearly
thrown out of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, not only
insuring a better and more healthy
growth, but leveling the field for the
more economical gathering of the
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benefited by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
field is seeded TO clover, or soon after.
as the action of the roller. in crush
ing Jumps and mellowing the surface,
makes good seed bed and covers a
large proportion of the clover seed. -

CHIPMUSK HUNTING.

Perhaps the most enjoyable OF all
was the chipmunk hunt, writes
Charles Alexander Eastman IA Sioux
Indian, in his "reminiscences Of boy
hood. We killed these animals at
any time OF the year, but the special
time TO hunt them was in March.
After the first thaw, the chipmunks
burrow hole through the snowcrust,
and make their first appearance for
the season. Sometimes AZ many as
fifty will come together, and chase
one another all about the scene.
These gatherings occur only early in
the morning-from daybreak TO about
nine o'clock.
We boys learned this among other
secrets Of Nature, and got our blunt
headed arrows together in good sea-
son for the chipmunk expedition.
We generally went in groups Of six
10 dozen or fifteen, TO see which
would get the most. On the evening
before we selected several boys who
could initiate the chipmunk call with
wildcat straws, and each OF these
provided himself with n supply OF
straws. The crust will hold the boys
nicely at this time Of the year.
Bright and early they all come to-
gether at certain appointed place,
from which each group starts out in
different direction, agreeing TO
meet somewhere at certain position
OF the sun. a
Ny first experience OF this kind Is
still well remembered. IL was fine
crisp March morning, and the sun
had not yet shown itself among the
distant tree-tops, as we hurried along
through the woods until we arrived
at a place where there were many
signs OF the animal. Then each Of
us selected tree, and took up his
position behind IL. The chipmunk
caller sat upon log as motionless as
he could, and began to call. Soon
we heard the patter OF little feet on
the hard snow; then we saw the chip
munks approaching from all direc-
tions. Some stopped and ran up q

MAKING MAPLE SUGAR.

Maple sugar, which Is made from
the sap OF the hard maple, is gcner-
ally manufactured in the months OF
March and April. When it is time
10 begin, the men go around and with
half-inch bits bore holes IA little way
into the trees, and drive i'm iron
spouts. In these spouts are hooks
on which to hang the buckets. Only
II few years ago every sugar-maker
used wooden spouts and buckets, and
boiled the sap in huge kettles hung
on n pole over the fire. When the
buckets are nearly full, the sap is
gathered i'm large tub on IA sled
drawn by horses. When this IL full,
it is drawn to the boiling-place, and
emptied into large watts or storage
tubs. The sap is then strained and
boiled.
There are two methods OF boiling
now used, viz, long pans and evapo-
ration. In the first case the manu-
facturcr usually has two pans, one
called the sap or back pan, and the
other the syrup or front pan. The
syrup pan is shorter than the other.
These are set on huge arches OF brick
or stone, with n large chimney Mt the
back end. Tho fire Is built Mt the
front end under the short pan. The
back pan is kept nearly full OF sap,
and n IL boils down IL is dipped into
the front pan, and every day when IL
is thick enough IL is dipped out OF
this pan and strained. Although
some sugar their syrup of i'm the
woods, il Is usually taken TO the
house TO be canned or cakcd. In the
evaporation the sap passes from the
back to the front OF the pan through
small tubes so slowly that by the
time IT. reaches the front end 10 can
be drawn Oft as syrup. This is the
more rapid method, and makes
whittier sugar.
Sometimes there is such n big run
Of sap that they have to boil nights
In order to prevent the sap from
wasting. This IL the happy time OF
sugaring for the boys, whose great
delight is TO boil Mt night. They
roast potatoes in the ashes, broil
meat over the Goals, and boil eggs In
the pan. II Is fine sight to see the
flames shoot up and hear the crack
ling OF the wood as IL burns Har-

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
LITTLE DROPS OF WATER.

Who has net heard of Little drops
Of water, little grains OF sand?" 1t
is repeated in every nursery, sung
beside every cradle, is on the lips OF
millions Of school children, and is as
familiar as the Twenty-third Psalm
and as popular as Robinson Crusoe. "
Who wrote it? How many score OF
years ago was il written? In the
library OF the Illinois Woman 8
Board OF the Worlds Fair were to be
seen, in neat panel, the words,
suitably illustrated:
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
And the pleasant land.
So our little moments
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
OF Eternity.
So our little errors
Lead the soul away
From the path OF duty
Far in sin to stray.
Little deeds OF kindness,
Little words OF love,
Help to make earth happy,
Like the heaven above.
These sweet, simple lines were
written by an Illinois woman. They
have been SO long popular that most
people may have thought they were
written several generations ago. The
author is Mrs. Julia Carney, and the
lines were sent to the Illinois
Woman's Board by the Knox County
Columbia Club. New York Obser-
