SEA GUllS FAR INLAND.
They Don't Seem Mind Flying Far
Away from Their Salt Water Home.

They Don't Seem TO Mind Flying Far
Away from Their Salt Water Home.
There seems to be no limit to the in
land flights of the gull, said an obser-
want sportsman just back from the
Rocky mountains. l have seen these
broad-winged sailers of the air darting
about the forest-environed lakes of
northern Maine, and winging their way
up the canyons of mountain streams In
desert Arizona five hundred miles from
the Gulf of California, the nearest salt
water. Sometimes several gulls may
be seen far inland journeying in COM
pany, but often only a single one Is
found travelling apparently on his own
hook. Walking about the rancho Of q
friend near Las Vegas, N. NJ, last
autumn, | was astonished to see
gull, one of whose wings had been
clipped so that 1t could not fly, hopping
about on the ground among his poultry,
with which the sea bird seemed TO be
on the most amlcable terms. My host
had wounded the gull In the wing
while duck-shooting on prairie lake
In northern New Mexico. What desire
for change or travel carried this winged
creature Of the sea level one thousand
miles inland and up six thousand feet OF
altitude TO the eland-locked, weed-grown,
fresh-water pond where II was cap
turcd is probably beyond the ken of
the naturalist to explain.

THE SCOTS 0REYS.

A Regiment of Dragons Famous Since
tho Time of Charles IL
"Second TO None" IL the proud motto
OF the gallant and famous regiment
the Second Dragon guards, or Royal
Scots Greys." IL is n happily chosen
motto, says TIE Scottish American, for
the fame of the regiment is worldwide.
It's brilliant achievements on the field
of battle during two centuries; Its strisx-
ing and historic name; it's grand and
imposing uniforms-have made the
Royal Scots Greys, AS an individual corps,
there is no gainsaying, the most widely
known and familiar Of all the regi-
ments OF the British army.
Since the regiment was raised In tho
reign OF the second Charles the dra-
goons have borne themselves well In
many famous field, but want OF space
forbids us to note the exploits until
Notwithstanding" Waterloo came on the
glory roll OF the gallant greys. Here,
with tho English Royals" and Irish
"Inniskllings," they formed tho famous
"Union brigade" which formed the
never-to-be-forgotten picture Of the
"Fight for the Standard" That widely
known picture shows a man OF the
greys, Sergt. Ewart, capturing tho
eagle OF very famous French corps,
the "forty-flfth OF the line" Sergt.
Ewart himself has told the story In .
letter to his father.

his dressing gown and finds three men
sitting at his dining-room table drink
ing his choicest wine and smoking his
best cigars. The manager coughs def
erentinlly as he enters
"Ahem, burglars. presume?"
One Of the men, 4 low-browed crea-
ture, is about to fire, when he is
stopped by his companions, both of
whom turn out to be college graduates.
The manager accepts an invitation to
be seated, receives one OF his own cigars
with thanks, but declines the wine,
and starts the conversation on the mer-
its of burglary as a profession, main
tanning that equal talent and equal in
dustry ifapplicd in some lawful calling
would bring much greater returns.
The two young coilegians-the fourth
member of the company is ignored in
the conversation-defen the honor of
their profession with becoming warmth
in arguments freely sprinkled with lib
eral quotations from Horace and other
persons about whom burglars are not
supposed to know anything, and so
matters run along until suddenly a
dozen policemen burst into the room
and the three men are securely hand
cuffed and led away, while the man
ager sums up his case against the bur-
Cling profession and bids them good
night.
This sounds improbable enough, per-
haps, but couple of burglars were ar
rested in the suburbs of Chicago-prob-
ably il was Oak Park-not so long ago,
under circumstances almost precisely
like those described. The master Of
the house thought he heard burglars In
the house, reconnoitered until he be-
came convinced of 1t, and then, having
quietly telephoned for the police, went
downstairs and engaged the men in an
entertaining conversation until the pa
troll wagon arrived and they were taken
in.-Chicago Times.

FEEDING LIVE STOCK.
Simple Methods, One Authority Says, Are
tho Most Profitable.

Simple Methods, One Authority Says, Are
tho Most Profitable.
For the average stock feeder COM
paratively simple methods OF stock
feeding are the most profitable,
whether the kind of shelter, the daily
care or the preparation of the food are
considered. Such is the outcome Of
the feeding trials through several
years at the University Of Illinois-uy
G. E. Morrow. Thus the weight Of
evidence is strongly ---csafnst the
profitableness of cooking the rations,
though grinding the grain frequently
returned a profit, especially in the
case of small grain. 1t is wasteful to
feed unground wheat to hogs or cattle,
as much of the whole wheat passes
through these animals undigested.
The same is true of barley, rye and
oats, so that when small grain can
not be ground 1t should be well soaked
1t is not generally profitable, he er,
to grind corn for fattening cati md
hogs, as in most cases the an ma can
grind 1t more cheaply tha taa ! ler,
the undigested grains being IN ood
condition for the hogs = hich low
the cattle. Either the crushing o. the
soaking of the large, unshelled ear of
corn has been profitable practice. In
good weather the outdoor feeding of
cattle was more profitable than stall
feeding, and it is believed that a good
shed is more profitable than stable as
q shelter for steers. Stock cannot be
fed as economically during the ex-
tremes of winter or summer as in the
spring and fall, though winter feeding
may often be justified by the higher
prices secured, while some grain feed
ing during the summer is often neces-
sary in order that the cattle may be
ready for the fall market. The cost
of fall grain feeding of cattle has
seldom been repaid by the direct in
crease in weight at prevailing prices.
The growth of the whole carcass,
rather than of fat, yields the profit,
which should be at least one cent per
pound. profitable cow must not only
rear calves, but must produce milk and
finally beef.-Prairie Farmer.

that the only real cure for the recur-
