A Race tor Lille With a Bear.

IN a hillside, and rife in hand, he
rave him hot chase. Just as he
reached the summit he unexpectedly
net the bear coming around a huge
oowlder. The animal was too close
Tor action, and before Murphy could
ire the gun was knocked out OF his
hand with one stroke OF the bears
huge paw.
Murphy realized the perilous situa-
lion and made for a tree. The bear
reached out and caught his trousers.
Then q race for life began around the
tree, with Murphy in the lead and the
bear close second.
Splendid time was made, when the
bear reversed his direction and met
Murphy face to face. With one blow
The man was knocked down, and TO-
yether they rolled down the hillside
into an embankment of snow at the
bottom of the gulch.
The bear appeared surprised and
somewhat dazed, and hurriedly gal
loped up the hill. Murphy, though
badly torn and bleeding, made his
wsy down to where his boat lay and
pulled over to his camp. Later he
went to juneau for medical treatment.
His injuries are not serious, but arc

SOWING TURNTPS.

favorable season there are few crops
that yield as we'll. While in what
may be termed fair season they re-
quire but o comparatively short sea.
son for growth, yet taking one year
with another the better plan is to SOW
reasonably early. From the middle
to the latter part of July is q good
time to sow, the exact time being
largely determined by the season and
the condition of the soil.
One item is essential and that is to
have the soil prepared in a fine tilth
in order to first secure good germi-
nation of the seed and then a good
start of the plants to grow.
The soil should be reasonably rich;
new grounds best when it can be Sc
cured readily, but old ground can be
used if it has been manured with rotted
manure thoroughly incorporated with
the soil. Too coarse fresh manure is
always Objectionable with this crop.
Plow we'll and harrow until the soil
is in fine tilth. The seeds are so
small that to SOW Oh rough, cloddy or
il!y-prepared land is to lose q consid-
cradle portion OF them. Generally
rather low moist ground will give bet
ter results in every way than high
drler land.
At this time, when it can be done,
it will be best to SOW just after rain
in order to secure good termination
of the seed. Use plenty of seed and
SOW as evenly rs possible. A very
good plan is to mix the seed with clean
wood ashes and then SOW, as by this
plan there is less danger of getting
them too thick.
One of The best varieties is the old
standard purple top strap leaved. The
white egg, and also the yellow globe,
are good varieties. They make good
iced for sheep or cattle so that all
that cannot be marketed to good ad.
vantage can always be fed to the stock
with benefit, and the-o is very little
dangor of growing too many.-Farm,

ROT IN TOMATOES.

The rot of tomatoes is due to fun
gas which grows in the whole plant
and natures in the fruit. 1t is rela-
ted to the potato rot, and is to be
treated in the same way, by the Bor-
deaux mixture. The disease appears
first as o small spot OF the blossom
end of the fruit, then spreads rapidly
all through it. It is prevented or ar
rested as soon as it appears by spray
ing the liquid, made as follows, on to
the plants, leaves, and young fruit !:
Dissolve four pounds OF sulphate of
copper (bluestone) in five gallons of
water, and six pounds of lime in four
gallons OF water. Mix the two liquids
and stir them well, then strain and
add forty gallons of water. A less
quantity may be made by proportion

is used for preventing all kinds OF

Rattlesnake Interrupts the Supper.

Hipe Williams, hunter and woods
man who lives near Brownvllle, Bra1-
ton County, West Virginia, had an
exciting experience few evenings ego
with a tremendous rattlesnake. Will
Jams and his family were eating sup
per in their kitchen, when rattle
snake thrust his head through a rat
hole in the floor. One of the children,
little ten-year-old girl, who was
sitting near the spot, happened to look
down and saw the snake near her feet.
She screamed and feel from her chair
in q swoon, almost within reach OF the
reptile, which fortunately had not yet
drawn it's entire length out OF the
hole and could not coil to strike.
Williams, seizing the child, snatched
it out of the range of the reptile, and.
after ordering the rest Of the family
to keep quiet, seized an axe and cut
the snake in two at the first blow.
The reptile was six feet long and had
seventeen rattles. Cincinnati En-
