Deer That Lope, Squirrels That Live In
Holes and Rats In Trees.
ST. ANTONIO, Mexico, Dec. e9.-We
have been for the past week preparing for
the journey to Culiaoan state Of Sinaloa,
which involved much bunting and fishing
In order TO prepare the necessary subsist-
enoe. The fsrests abound In deer, wild
hog, squirrels and rats. The deer are
small and quite tame. Their tails are
from 19 TO IS inches in length and white
as snow. II frightened, they curl their
tails up over their backs, as If to make
sure that you should not lose sight Of
them, and lOpe away; but, unlike the
North American deer, they are liable to
stop short and turn round to see II you
have taken the trouble to follow them.
They do not bound five feet into the air
when startled and then take another kink
and then go up six feet higher, as do the
deer to which the early settlers Of Ohio
were accustomed, but lope gracefully
away, making sure Of 1t that should you
lose sight Of them the fault is yours.
A native, perhaps not the best author
ity, assured us that bis tongue did not
work at random when he said that no
person had ever eaten finer favored meat
than that Of the Mexican deer. We expe-
rienced no difficulty in securing a supply
Of yenison in the valley Of the Yaqui, but
one day the monotony Of deer hunting
was broken by a snort near by in a thiok-
ct, which caused me to halt and to face
the left suddenly and listen to the beating
Of my heart. The snort was caused by the
forcing Of air through the nose Of beast
and was upon the instant answered by
many similar snorts in various directions
near by. Indistinctly seeing a black OBJ
ieot move fred a bullet into It Itwas a
lucky Shot The wild boar fell dead
A moment later we were aware Of hav-
ing been very imprudent. Had the hog
been wounded instead Of killed, the other
boars would have charged the enemy, and
there would have been no escape for him.
They are armed with two pairs Of circular
tusks, about inches In length, that come
together, passing at the ends, and so worn
by contact for the distance Of an inch that
they cut like shears and are as sharp as a
knife. Their average weight Is about 100
pounds. Their bristles are about ~
inches long and black. Their sense Of
smell, sight and hearing is very fine.
They oan run almost as fast as a deer.
Their skin is loose upon their bodies, like
that Of deer. Their mode Of attack is to
out with theivNhearlike tusks as they dash
past, then shirl and come again.
Squirrels are abundant in these forests
They are beautifully mottled with white

1Eodern Unruents and salves.

Various elegant preparations have su-
perseded the coarse unguents and salves Of
former times. It would be impossible in
our limited space to give a just idea Of
the wonderful Improvements that have
been made In this branch Of pharmacy.
Perhaps ono Of the most notable improve
ments Is the preparation of an animal fat,
called lanolin, which is now used as the
basis Of q large number Of ointments.
Unlike lard, which has generally been
employed for this purpose 1t never turns
rancid, and 1t has the valuable property
Of being readily absorbed by the skin and
penetrating with friction to its deeper
layers. Therefore it beromes a most efii-
cient vehicle for conveying medicines
through the skin. When mixed with mer-
oury and rubbed into the pores, It has
caused the peculiar metallic taste Of the
drug TO be perceptible in the mouth three
after it's application. In its i'm
pure crude form this fat was known to
the ancient Greeks and employed by them
10 medicine, being extracted from the
wool OF sheep. The chemist has now puri-
fed Il and made 1t one of the most useful
agents that we possess for applying medi-
cines to the skin.-Chambers Journal

ThoughtIess Cruelty.

Normandy and Brittany are fun Of
scenes heartrending to the true lover Of
animals. The author Of France Of To-
day. describes one form Of thoughtless
cruelty which is regularly practiced In the
Pays de Caux, even by people who are
really kind and well meaning. She says:
To my thinking, the Pays de Caux is
very depressing. Each homestead stands
amid lines Of beech and oak, formal as toy
trees Of a child's mimic garden. The
trees, regularly planted and cut at inter
walls, form parallelogTam affording shelter
10 farmhouse buildings and apple orchards.
Yoa enter this somber inclosure to Light
upon an unwonted and heartrending spec
tacle.
In the open space between house and
trees Is pen, perhaps two yards square.
This Is the lifelong prison Of the trusty
Watchdog. Incredible as 1t may appear,
no one sees any cruelty In thus keeping

uary to December. In fact, from Its youth
to old age, never for single moment Is it
allowed to escape. Ny kind host agreed
with me on the unnAturalness of such
treatment

he said, ''is a barking machine-nothing

strateev q Jaokals.

DR.. Romanes relates a remarkable story
told him by a gentleman wei acquainted
with British India, where jackals abound,
which points TO the Possession Of what
NAV be called a reasoning faculty;
This gentleman was waiting IN tree
to shoot tigers as they came to drink az a
largo lake skirted by a dense Jungle when
about midnight large axis deer emerged
from the latter and went to the water s
edge. Then it stopped and shifted the air
in the direction oi the jungle, as If sus
pecting the presence Of an enemy Ap
parently satisfied however, 1t began 70
drink and continued to do SO for an inor-
dinate length Of time When literally
swollen with water, it turned to go into
the Jungle, but was met at its extreme
margin by q jaekal, which, with q sharp
yelp, turned it again into the open.
,.The deer seemed startled and ran
along the shore for some distance when
1t again attempted to enter the jungle,
but was again met and driven back in the
same manner. The night being calm, my
friend could hear this process repeated
time after time-the yelps becoming sue
cessively fainter and fainter in the dis
tance, until they become wholly inaudible.
The stratngem thus employed was snth-
ciently evident The lake having a long
narrow shore intervening between it and
the Jungle the iackals formed themselves
in line along 1t while concealed within
the extreme edge Of the cover, and waited
until the deer was waterloggedi
Their prty, being thus rendered heavy
and short winded, wonl,l fax an easy vic
tim if induced to run sufficiently far-that
IS, If prevented from entering the jungle
It was, Of course, impossible to estimate
the number OF iackals engaged IN this
hunt, for IL is not impossible that as soon
as one had done duty at one place 1t out
ran the deer to await 1t in another a
native servant who accompanied my friend
told him that this was a strataeem habit
ually employed by the jackais in that
place, and that they hunted in sufficient
aumbers to leave nothing but the bones

FARM NOTES.

The farmer who buys bran, mid
dlings and linsesd meal for his COWS
will make a large profit on the in
creased value of his manure and save
loss of fertility.
Now is the time to make the hot
bed and get ready for the early
plants Labor can be given such
masters now with less cost than to
delay until next month.
Scatter air-slacked lime around
the grape vines, so as to cover every
portion Of the ground. 1t is excel
lent in assisting to destroy the
spores Of the grape rot.
Hay is a valuable article on the
farm and should only be used in
connection with other coarse foods.
A mixture is often more highly
relished than a single article Of food,
but this depends on how the animals
have been educated in feeding upon
a variety Of foods.
Those who grow large water
melons state that they make the
hills in winter. If the ground is not
frozen too hard a pile Of freshohorse
manure iF placed where each hill is
to be, and the manure covered with
earth. In the spring, after the
weather becomes warmer, the ma
nure is well incorporated with the
soil.

Nids Awake Farmer.


As the wants Of the people in
crease there is not a greater con-
sumption but more variety is sought
n the world has changed and cleo
~icitv is beginning to surplant
hof,as and men. the farm is not ex-
empt froiD> the influence ofprogress.
The articles used as food. and the
dishes prepared, are very different
from those prepared a century ago
Many fruits and vegetables now in
general use we're unknown At the
beginning of the present century.
If the farmer is to keep pace with
those engaged in other industries he
must change his methods and crops
to correspond with conditions not
of his own choosing, and meet the
consumers of his products with com
modities Of kind best adapted i"
their wants and not such as he may
prefer to grow for himself Every
year witnesses something new in the
field Of agriculture, and no farmer
should be content to follow beaten
path, but should branch out and en-
deavor to take advantage Of every
opportunity for producing some
thing on the farm that will afford
him larger profit than he secured
the previous year.
CEREAL CROPS oHEAPENED.
The fact is conceded that the low
prices Of gram are caused by the
cheapening Of the cost by the use Of
improved labor-saving implement
and machinery on the farm, md
the day when a crop must be cult
vated because it requires less labor
than some other has passed. The
crops that pay best row are those
that are the most costly to produce
because they are grown less abun-
dainty than the cheaper kinds. Germ,
wheat and oats are grown at one
fourth the cost OF former times, and
the old prices will never return un-
less the misfortune of a famine
should occur, which is hardly possi-
bic in a country with such a diver
sity of climate as ours. There are
crops grown in this country which
apparently are very large, but
which do not supply our home mar
kets, aed among them are potatoes
and onions, and this is due to the
fact that they require more labor
than corn or wheat. Beans, peas,
apples, cherries, ounces and some
of the garden crops are often below
the amount required for the supply
of the home markets.
VARIED CROPS MORE PROFITABLE.
1t is not supposed that farmers
will revolutionize their methods, but
it will be an advantage for them to
study the markets and statistics and
endeavor to learn what may be re-
quired. Labor should always be
considered in growing a special
crop, for it enters into the price and
remuneration for such expense is
never overlooked. It is labor that
makes the value, and while it is we'll
to cheaper Che labor yet the amount
of labor required should never deter
one from growing a crop. A crop
that pays we'll one year may not be
profitable the next, as there is an in
ducement, by higher prices, for the
farmers to seek the crops that pay
best, but there are too many farmers
who adhere closely to certain crops
and thereby fail to secure the high
est prices or largest profit. The
farmer will keep him
self well informed, and lie always |
prepared to avail himself of the adj
vantages open by growing a variety |
of crops in order to satisfy the de-
mands of all classes.
