NOTES FOR FARMERS.

DoN'T neglect to store some leaves
for stable litter.
SCRUB stock and scrub farming are
always found in connection with a
scrub education.
The farther north an apple can be
grown successfully the better the
quality and the higher the color.
on meal has % per cent. of protein
or muscle-forming food, and is an ex-
cellent addition to theneed of young,
growing animals.
THERE is no money nowin big, fat
pork. The market calls for lean
bacon. The weight of the carcass
should not exceed two hundred pounds.
APPLES may be kept in cold storage
for many months if perfect, unbruised
fruit is selected, carefully wrapped in
paper and kept at temperature of not
over thirty-eight degrees
THE fall months are important as
providing time during which the
food of the stock may be gradually
changed from the succulent grasses of
summer to the dry, concentrated foods
of winter.

FIGHT IN THE JUNGLE.

A Bear Struggling for His Life with an
Enormous Serpent.
How the denizens of East Indian
jungles settle their differences has been
told by an eyewitness. A hunting
party was attracted by succession of
roars of rage and pain, and a prolonged
kissing, like the rush of escaping steam.
They hurried to the spot and saw a
Jungle bear fighting for his life with
an enormous serpent. The snake had
wound its giant folds around the bear,
which dashed itself from side to side,
and rolled over and over on the ground
in frenzied endeavor to get free, roar
ing and swapping it's jaws like castanets
at the serpents folds. 1t was unable
to reach them, however, owing to the
way in which they were CONSTRUCTED
about it's body. In this way they
struggled until they reached the edge
of the incline, down which the bear
threw himself with a speed that dis
concerted the serpent, for it unwound
couple of folds and threw its tail
around tree, evidently with the in
tention of anchoring itself and prevent
| ing the unpleasant consequences of a
| rapid tumble down hill. This appeared
like admirable strategy, but it resulted
in the serpent's undoing. The rigid
line of tail, Strengthened out from the
tree to the bears body, gave the irfuri-
ated beast chance to seize hold of its
assailant. He promptly accepted the
chance, and, with tremendous effort,
turned and fastened his powerful jaws
in the snakes quivering flesh. After
this the issue was never in doubt. The
snake tried to get away, but the bear
held on grimly, until the serpent was
nothing but an inert mass.

in the plan portion of the floor space
is earth. This should be filed in level
with the wooden floor or driveway
Along the outside and cross sills a
board should be set up edgewise as at
Fig. 1. If in time this should decay
another one can be substituted and
the sill remain as solid as ever. The
earth in this portion should be pound
ed or otherwise made firm and solid.
AS horses are never allowed upon it
the surface can be covered with con-
crete. 1t is then always firm and may
be kept clean as easily as wooden

their tires become loosened by the
shrinkage of the spokes and felloes in
dry weather as they are when placed
upon wooden floor. If possible, To-

Elephants Delight in Flnery.

Elephants are passionately fond of
finery, and delight to be arrayed in
gorgeous trappings An amusing in
stance of elephantine pride is narrated
by Sir Samuel Baker. The elephant
which usually led the state procession
of a rajah being sick, the magnihcent
trappings were placed on one which
had, up to that time, occupied only q
subordinate place. The animal de-
lighted with it's fnery, showed its glee
by SO many little squeaks and kicks Of
pleasure that it attracted general at
tention. Not long after, another state
procession was formed, and, the previ-
GUS wearer of the gold clothes being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded elephant, imagining, perhaps,
that he was being defrauded of his pro-
motion, was, with great difficulty, re-
strained from attacking the leader of
the parade.

be placed at one side at the most ac-

Changes Wrought bn rlme.

No one who has studied the Ameri-
can systems of farming can doubt the
assertion that many changes are com
ing to the farmers of this country
Some of the evolutions have been in
sight for number of years, and some
have come to light only in the past
year or two. The cheapening of val
ues is an eye opener of the most poten-
tial interest, since the old lines are
being abandoned, some of them never
to be renewed, and other industries
that have been temporarily taken up
to bridge over the depression will re-
main. To illustrate: Dairying has su-
perseded the raising of steers. Hogs
are more profitable than steers. Ten
years ago ninety-five per cent. of the
sheep were Merinos, which then
meant wool bearers. Mutton has
come to stay, with wool as an incl
dent The wheat of the future will
be raised for feed in this country, or
not raised at ALL Rural World.

A Bears Arect,on for Her Cuba.

During an exploring expedition in
the Arctic regions, some years ago, the
men spent considerable time hunting
polar bears. One day party in an
open boat saw big bear with two cubs
on the ice not far distant. AS the boat
drew near, the sailors threw them
great Jumps of walrus flesh, and these
the old bear divided among her cubs,
reserving only small portion for her
self. Then, while all three were feed
ing in bunch, the sailors fired, in
stantly killing the cubs and severely
wounding the dam. 1t actually excited
pity to see her behavior. Though
fatally wounded, she tore another
lump of meat in pieces and laid it be-
fore the cubs. When she found they
would not eat, she tried to raise them
up, ell the while moaning piteously.
The men fred another volley, and then
she fell between her cubs, and died
licking their wounds.

,vrho "old Time" Husltlng Bee.

A story is told of huslSing bee devil
try in the pioneer days Of Dexter.
Capt. Small. one of the first comers,
after he had grown to the dignity of
having big barn, gave husking, to
which large and merry party gath
cred. While the supper was progress
ing, and the coast was clear, some of
the "boys" drove one of the captains
steers into the barn floor, and attach
ing rope to him, lifted him up over
the high beams to the top of the hay
NOW. They were so spry about it that
the joke was not discovered. The steer
was missed, of course, and search of
all the surrounding country was made
without success. The animal was given
up for lost, when one day, week after
the husking, the captain was in his
barn and heard long moo" up in the
ridge pole. Looking up, there was the
missing steer gazing calmly down at
him over theGhigh beam. Such was the
sport the daddies had in their young
days Modern huskings are more pro,
saic.-Lewisten Journal.

How Number of Boys Can Perform a
Horse Pyramid.
The following description of a pyra-
mid performed by an English class of
boys was published in the Gymnast and
Athletic Review, and will be found well
worth trying:
The horse is without pommels, the
end of the buck in contact with the
side of the horse at the saddle. Posi-
tions indicated as they appear when
the buck stands.
Zone headstand, head on buck, hands
on horse, elbows well turned out.
1.-TWO headstands on ground opposite
the end of the horse.
1.-TWO boys standing on ground at
ends of horse facing out and raising
legs of two front leaning rests, hands
on ends of horse, feet supported as
above.
