The Caribou i'm Maine.

About the slopes of Mount Katah-
din and ranging the bogs and wood
lands OF the country at its foot, great
herds of caribou pasture in the foil
upon twigs, bark and the marsh grass
and moss, from which they have to
scrnpe the snow with their forefeet, as
their kindred, the Lapland and Siber-
ian reindeer, do. They are migratory
animals, covering wide regions in their
travels, and appearing unexpectedly
in localities which. after a period,
they are apt to leave with equal sud
denncss. A single herd recently seen
near Mount Kathadin was estimated
to number 900 caribou. In size the
caribou stands between the deer and
the moose, and his appearance and
habits are essentially those of the
Arctic reindeer. The well-known
Maine scientist, "Bill" Moriarty,
who is a great hunter and woodsman,
says that u caribou is "the hand
soonest, most forlorn looking critter
that travels on hoofs. Lewiston

Non-Unfon Men Kidnapped,

On the twelfth day of the Brooklyn trolley
strike there was as much, II not more, vio-
lence than on any day since the city had 7 00(.
bayonets in her streets. Where the militia
were there was peace. Where the police were
there We're uproar, mobs and hooking at
law and order. In Greenpoint mobs set
upon the cars, smashed windows. abused
ard inundated the motormen and con-
ductors and drove them from the cars. A
carload of non-Union men was sent over the
city line TO Maspeth on the Bushwick avenue
line in charge of two Queens County Dep
uty Sheriffs. Strikers, not ''sympath izers,"
stormed the car, beat the two oc-
cupants who showed fight and kidnapped
and compelled all but one Of the lot-he who
was beaten most. Int would not yieli-to
sign under duress an agreement to break
their contracts and give up their livelihood.
When they had wrought their will platoon
of Troop galloped up,to find the men gone
whom they were sent to rescue. A few
more cars were run, and the trolley
companies alleged that all but ten OF
the forty-eight lines il, the city were opened.
General McAlpin said the troops would not
be recalled, and the strike settled down to a
question of endurance. The linemen's
strike had practically no effect on the
men of their wages. More wire
cutters were caught by the po-
lice, and one probably shot. A dyna-
inter was caught in Williamsburg and a
bomb found on Fulton street.
Mayor Schieren was satisfied that the strike
was over. and SO notified the Governor.

BERRY BULLETIN,

On an acre of rich, we'll cultivated
land there may be grown five hundred
dollars worth of berries, says NJ. A.
Thaver, Sparta, Wis. Every enter
prising farmer, with a little effort,
has within his reach a continuous sup
ply of healthful fruits. On every farm
large, luscious berries may be grown at
the rate of two hundred bushels per
acre. If less is produced, We may
look for the following causes, and
briefly suggest n remedy:
First, land deficient in fertilizer, or
plant food. Apply fine composted
manure, pillow under and top dress.
Also ashes broadcast.
Second, improper preparation OF
soil Plow deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Extra prep
aration makes plant food more avail
able.
Third, varities not adapted to your
soil and climate. Use only such rs
has been we'll tested in your locality,
or recommended by responsible par
ties
Fourth, poor plants. Buy only
best hardy, vigorous plants from re-
sponsible growers. Never set poor
plants.
Fifth, careless setting Of plants.
Never expose plants to sun and wind
before setting. Have roots we'll spread,
and fine dirt firm about them.
Sixth, too many plants, in hill or
row. Preserve only strong, vigorous
plants, give each room to develop and
perfect its fruit. Prune severely.
Seventh, imperfect fertilization.
There is sex in plants. Pistilates (fe-
male) must have staminates set with
them to insure good crops.
Eighth, neglect in cultivation. The
ground at all times should be fine
mellow and free from weeds.
Ninth, no protection. Much in sum-
mer with coarse manure, grass or
green clover, in winter by suitable
protection against extreme cold. In
the Northwest, laying bush berries
down and covering with dirt.
Tenth, frost and drouth. The most
difficult to overcome. Berry fields
we'll cultivated are several degrees
warmer than uncultivated fields, there
fore, less liable to damage Dy frost.
Retain mulching as late as possible on
strawberries in spring.
Damage by ordinary drougths may
be prevented by summer mulch and
frequent cultivation and heavy mulch

HYnEOtiSm for the Deaf.

Principal Currier, of the New York
Institution, has startled the scientific
world by his theory that hypnotism
may, in certain cases, be successfully
applied with a view to give hearing to
the deaf. The average individual
knows little or nothing concerning
the ''eerie science" as some writer's
term it, but scientific and medical men
have shown it be of value in mental
diseases, and, We believe, in surgery.
1t would be folly to say that it is GER
tainly going to prove eilicacious IN re-
moving deafness; still the theory adj
vanced and the arguments used are
plausible enough to Justify experiment.
All the great inventions that are now
being of SO much service to mankind
were ridiculed and denounced at the
beginning, and Principal Currier will
be exceptionally lucky if his theory is
not maltreated and abused by unbc
levers. Results will show whether
his position is tenable or Otherwise

TELLING THE AGE OF CATTLE.

1t is we'll known that the most COM
mon way for anyone to tell the age of
a COW is to look at the wrinkles on her
horns. but as dehorning seems TO be
SO much in vogue now-a-d days this will
hardly hold good in a great many
cases. The Berlin Agricultural Asso-
citation gives the following rule as re-
liable to tell the age of cattle by their
teeth; Change of teeth begins, as a
rule, at the age of one and a half
years, when the milk middle front
teeth are shed and replaced by the
permanent front teeth, which come
completely into position at the end of
the second year. At two and q half
years, as a rule, the inner milk front
teeth fall out, and their successors are
fully in use towards the close of the
fourth year. From four and quar-
ter to four and a half years the milk
teeth continue to fall out, and their
successors are in use at the end of the
fifth year. Animals got in calf before
the end of their twentieth month have
the change of teeth hindered, while it
takes place sooner in early maturing
breeds, especially the Shorthorns. -

Amenities of War.

Archibald Forbes says that the alb
stract theory of the amenities OF
war" is preposterous. You strain
every effort to reduce your adversary
to impotence; he falls wounded,
whereupon, should he come into your
hands, you promptly devote all your
e1ertions to saving his life and restor-
ing him to health and vlgor, IN order
that he may go home and swell the
ranks of your enemy. This is no
doubt humanity, but it is supremacy
illogical.
Marriott recounts in his memoirs per-
haps the most absurd application ever
made of the theory of the "ameni-
ties" In the battle of AusterlItz n
body of beaten Russians, about five
thousand strong, strove to escape
across the ice on the Satschan Lake.
Napoleon ordered his artillery to fire
on the ice, which was shattered, and
men and horses slowly settled down
into the depths, only a few escaping
by means of poles and ropes thrust
out from shore by the French.
Next morning, Napoleon, riding
round the positions, saw a wounded
Russian officer clinging to an ice foe
a hundred yards out, and entreating
help. The Emperor became intensely
interested in the succol of the man.
After many failures, Marriott and an
other officer stripped and swan out,
gradually brought the ice foe toward
the shore and laid the Russian at
Napoleon's feet.
The Emperor evinced more delight
at this rescue than he lad manifested
when assured of the victory of Aus
terlitz. He had no conjunction as to
the fate of the unfortunates whom his
artillery practice of the day before had
sent to their death.

Two Men Shot by the Militia.

On the ninth day of the great Brooklyn
trolley car strike the railroad companies
succeeded in starting a few more cars than
on any day since the strike began, although
it was only done under full protection from
the soldiers and police, and there was more
serious rioting than on any day yet.
Colonel Appleton. of the Seventh Regi-
ment, led in person a charge upon mob
Of stone throwers. He gave them
ample time and warning to get out
and they got what they bargained for. They
gathered again and there was more trouble,
resulting in two men being shot by soldier.
Henry Aims, of 365 East Seventy-sxth
street, New York City, received u bullet ia
the jaw which, it was thought, would prove
mortal. He dropped IN his tracks, and was
picked up and later removed to St. Mary's
Hospital.
Richard Mitchell. car starter at the stable
at Halsey street, below Broadway, where
the shooting occurred, received the other
bullets. One caused a compound fracture of
DO bones of the right arm and the other a
flesh wound IN the left.
The whole situation in Brooklyn WIS.,
changed by the calling out on strike Of all
the trolley linemen in the city by Master
Workman Connolly. This rendered a situa-
ton. already serious enough very critical.
The railroad companies were placed COM
pletely at the mercy of the strikers, since
few cut wires, with no linemen to repair
them, would serve to paralyse the entire
railroad system of Brooklyn.
In accordance with instructions from Gov
ernor Morton, AID iutant General E. A. Nc
Alpin visited Brooklyn for few hours to in
form himself as to the exact condition of the
strike. He was accompanied by Colonel
Marvin, the Governors military Secretary
They returned 10 Albany in the evening to
advise the Governor about the calling out OF
more troops.

LOSING USE OF LAND.

Small fruit growers ought to fertil-
ize their land thoroughly, and when
this is done they should keep it al
ways producing something. If the
strawberry patch is running out,
either the red or black cap raspberry
can be planted between the rows. In
this way the year after the strawberry
plantation is cultivated under che
raspberry canes will be in full bear
ing. 1t is the same with the larger
fruits. A young apple or pear orch
ard will grow strawberries, raspber-
ries and blackberries nearly as we'll as

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The grooming Of horses is second
only to diet in Importance.
Gluten meal is a valuable food for
horses while doing spring work.
In general, level culture is best.
The modern cultivators and harrows
make cultivation easy.
Give colt plenty of opportunity to
exercise and he will grow faster and
make better horse when matured.
Our cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Bone dust and hardwood ashes,
though good fertilizers for clay soil,
have proved of no benefit to deep black
prairie sail.
Trees, especially apples, are often
trained too high, because of the diff
Guilty of working close to them. Mod
ern tools will bring the heads within
reach.
Moisture is retained in the upper
soil by very frequent but shallow till
age, by means of which the surface CT
the land becomes mulch for the soil
beneath.
Tillage should not exist for the pur-
pose of killing weeds Weeds have
taught the most important lessons in
agriculture, to be sure, but the school
master should now be able to retire.
The Agricultural Department has is
sued bulletin on the culture, proper
ties, and uses of sweet cassava, which
is found in the Southern pen
insula of Florida and well up to the
frost belt.
Fall blowing may be advisable for
farm crops, but it should generally be
discouraged in orchards. The land in
orchards should be left compact in the
fall, and it is advisable to cover it with
some close heritage.
Salt may be beneficial to an old as
paragus bed in some cases, but gener-
ally there is little or no effect. Being
saltwater plant asparagus can stand
almost any amount Of salt without in
jury, yet it shows no partially for it.
Late cultivation may be injurious
by inducing a late growth. At all
events it can be of small utility when
the tree begins to mature and rains
become frequent. This season of re-
spite gives the grower the opportunity
OF raising a green manure, and of
adding fertility to his land at trifing
expense and with no harm to his trees.

may be worn to Keep off the flies and
sun, though leather or linen nets are
generally the best protection.
Whenever a horse has to stand still
after rapid exercise he should be blan-
keted to prevent chilling, whether
profusely sweating or merely warm.
Though most horses are harder than
men both are subject to many of the
same diseases upon exposure, and both

generally take care of himself, but the
horse usually can not do so, unaided.

or wraps to keep warm, his horse
needs extra protection.-Fa Field

ers began cracking angrily. When the troops
reached the vicinity Of No. 444 Hicks street,
Carney, who, with a fellow workman, had
been working on the roof Of that number,
stepped forward to the edge Of the roof.
"Crack i went a sharpshooter' rifle, and
Carney fell backward fatally wounded. His
