Habits Of a wounded Bear.

'Onc of the peculiar characteristics
of bears" said ID. NJ. bronson of Lead
vile, Colo, to reporter for the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat lis that when
wounded their first impulse is to bite
something. i have spent good deal
of time hunting in the mountains and
have seen this fact illustrated more
than once. l remember once shooting
at an old she bear, and the ball strill-
ing her in the forelcg. Instantly she
seized the other leg between her jaws
and bit it fiercely. At another time l
fred at bear whose cub was asleep
close by. On receiving the shot the old
bear, with a ferocious roar, rushed
upon the cub, and cuifcd and bit it
several times. On still another occa-
sion came across two bears, male
and female, feeding on the slope of
a long hill. / went around the hill to
get above them and, on looking over
the crest saw the male bear not forty
yards away. / at once fred and
wounded it. The animal jumped into
the air, bit the wound and then, with
a growl of pain, rushed furiously at its
companion. She, like spirited fe-
male, resented the assault. The two
clinched, rolling over, biting and claw
ing each other for few minutes, and
then bolted away into the forest"

Judging CoMs.

To men that at this time OF year are
called upon to act as judges of cows
at local shows we desire to say few
words regarding some of the points
that should be taken into considera-
ton when making awards. 1t is un
derstood, of course, that at STATE fairs
expert judges are engaged, and such
men would not appreciate pointers,
although it may be whispered that
they sometimes show themselves sad
ly in need of them. In passing upon
the merits of large collection OF dairy
cows in class for "best mich cow" it
is usually very difficult matter to
decide which animal is entitled to the
premium, as without milking test
1t is impossible in nine cases out
of ten to hit upon the best
COW for business For man
to select the "best" milch COW from
bunch, merely depending upon APP
I earances as criterion, is unsatis-
factory where the cows are OF mixed
breeding; it is, however, frequently
possible where the cows are all of the
same breed and age. Every dairy man
owns cows that milk wonderfully yet
do not fill the eye of the expert as OF
correct dairy type; again he has model
appearing cows that milk well for q
short time, then prove Improbable,
and others of his cows, though not
deep mixers pay big profit at the
churn. Taking these things into con-
sideration the FARMERS REVIEW is
strongly of the opinion that no good
object is attained by offering pre-
miums for best family or mich

Pingree's Potatoes.

Mayor Pingree's famous potato patch
scheme. by which several hundred
acres of unimproved property in the
suburbs of Detroit were, last summer,
planted with potatoes, the crop from
which, it was hoped, would help feed
the poor and unemployed citizens dur
ing the coming winter, is already an
assured Success, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The total viii aggregate 49,
900 bushels, upon which there will be
a profit of $1,000. There is now talk

How to Lose Money ON Poultry.

PAY no attention to any instruc.
tons from your poultry or commits
sion man, for you know more about
shipping than he does. When you
order your farmer to bring his poultry
in for shipment. tell him to tie them
by the legs SO they can bruise their
breasts and legs; then they will dress
up nice and green when decapitated.
Always feed them about six pounds OF
feed SO their craws are larger than
the fowl; be sure that the feed is some
kind that will sour very quick.
AS soon as they can not eat any more
chop off their heads, some close up to
body and some through the middle of
the head (be sure and not get two
alilze), throw them in the barnyard
where there are plenty of rocks,
that they may flop all over and
skin themselves in good shape. Be-
fore you begin and pick them, be sure
you have enough water, a little
warmer than milk, or else twice as
hot as it should be, so that you may
either cook or freeze them at once.
If your water is on the milk order
just give them one dip, SO that when
you commence picking you can rub
off their yellow skin and gloss, and
tEey will look as II they had been COW
cred with mustard plaster; IL the
water is boiling hold them in until
they are cooked, then they need nc m
ing more but seasoning, when they
will be ready to serve ut the table.
Always kill about five dozen before
you begin to pick, so that when you
get to the last ones the feathers will
be set and every one will take piece
of flesh along with it; and when your
bird is dressed las you will probably
call it) it will look as il it had gone
through a threshing machine Then,
instead of cutting the feet off at the
knee joints las should be, if cut at
all,) do as you have done before-cut
them off about two inches above the
knee, and always have one leg longer
than the other. Be sure and leave
about fourteen inches of neck on
some, and cut others in the same boz
close up to the body. Be careful that

What Was ItY

To THE FARMERS REVIEW: One
morning while talking to a friend
who was feeding his poultry, he re-
marked that several had taken sick
and one or two died. The symptoms
were simply this constant moping
and loss of appetite. The comb of
a beautiful rooster had turned almost
black and had wilted $50 to speak,.
1t occurred to me that it might be
that his chickens had the cholera or
some other bowel disease. 1 imme-
diately called a small boy and sent
him to the drug store for what had
been household remedy since nv
boyhood days, especially when we
boys were suffering because of having
eaten too freely of green apples. NV
friend proceeded to dope the rooster
and in few days he recovered, began
to look bright and his comb soon
Strengthened up as red and beautiful
as before. He has had several afflicted

patent medicine has cured and pre-
vented others from taking. It is very

competition. In the competitions
confined to pure bred animals Of the
same breed the matter is an altogether
different one, as here more than mere
profit at the pail or churn may be
taken into consideration, preference
being given to the typical COW of the
breed-the COW that is full of breed
characteristics and dairy points and
well qualified to perpetuate her race
rather than the animal lacking these
qualifications but markedly rich in
producing capabilities. There are
other points to be kept in mind by the
prospective judge of cows at local
fairs, and one of the most important is
to examine the milk vessel of each
COW, also to enforce the customary
rule that cows must have been
MIXED out clean at the usual
time prior to the competition.
1t is common to see cows "hefted"
painfully in preparation for'the arena,
which can only be considered cruel
and dangerous, and we are glad to
note that at recent fair a Judge find
ing the cows hefted, demanded that
they should be then and there MIXED
out clean, before he would 60 on with
.he judging. Great care should also
be taken to prevent owners from ex-
hitting barren cows that are yet in
fair milk but showing much better
condition than cows that have recent
ly produced calf. In judging Jersey
and Guernsey cows the Judge should
handle the animals and ascertain
whether the beautiful rich color in
side of the ears, thighs and upon the
udder and escutcheon Ia natural
or artificial butter color" The
writer has run across cows
in the judging ring that have been
lavishly smeared with highly colored
butter, but the wstchful eye and in

The following story. illustrating his

has been told by ex-Gov. Hoard at

Now, the simple plea of the man
touched me to the heart. 1t was the
cry of man who was seeking, IL pos
sible, to see through the darkness
that surrounded him, for the sake of
the wife and children and the hope
that he might some day have a home
and get better reward for the labor
of his hands. said, "Carl, am glad
you have come in to talk with me;
we will look 1t over" He says, what

here; the difficulty lies with you; you
have not learned how to make fine
butter. You are making it from Carl's
standpoint, not from the standpoint
of the man who wants to buy. You
must make your butter rightly. How

me see; you are keeping the butter in
the house?" Eyes" THE milk is in

him along, and the man was anxious
as could be, and / thought he would

and took off my coat and showed him
how nice butter should be made and
how to get the delicate flavor. Then
I took neat little package, and he
said, "What will we do with it?"

Money Making.

There are PARTIALLY two ways of ''mak-
Ing money" as the term is generally under
stood First by creating an object, which
is in demand by the public, as is done by
the farmer, or the manufacturer Second,
the buying of the object created for one
price and selling it for an advanced price.
This is by far the most common way, and
can be done by almost any one in care
full manner with small capital. No better
illustration of this can be found, than the
enormous success which the sellers and,
especially the canvassers of the Autoharp,
have attained. Some make 80; some, IS
