A HORNLESS BUCK.
Killed In Michigan and Said to Be Unique
In This Country.

Killed in Michigan and Said to Be Unique
In This Country.
A curious and exceedingly unusual
freak is reported by deer hunter to
Forest and Stream. The hunter was up
in Wexford county, Mich, and got on
q deer trail that had hoof marks plain
ly made by buck. Almost all hunters
of deer can tell buck from doe track.
After trailing the deer, and getting
within rod of it the buck leaped out of
a clump of brush and got knocked down
with bullet through the head.
The deer did not have any horns, al
though a two-year-old, and weighing
$50 pounds. Further, it never had had
any horns.
Does with horns, bucks with three
horns, dozens of spikes, and malformed
horns, have often been reported of
Michigan and other American deer, but
this is the first hornless American buck
reported, although some European deer
sometimes lack such weapons, but yet
are able to whip the horned ones.

NOW IT'S "BICYCLE TEETH"

Queer Complaint That Bothers Philadel-
phia Riders.
1t may be something peculiar to the
eastern climate, to the dust of the east
ern roads, or to some popularity about
the eastern method of riding, but the
fact remains that down Philadelphia
way bicycle riders are in large num-
bers affected by what the dentists call
"receding gums" The Offices of the
dentists, according to Philadelphian's
tale, are oyerrun with wheelmen and
wheelwomen who want to know what is
the matter with their teeth. They COM
plain that they have more and more
exposed ivory surface for every day that
they live, and that unless some remedy
is speedily found they will all either
soon be fang-toothed, or will lose mo-
lars, incisors and CANNES altogether.
The story goes that it took the dem
fists long time to find out that the
complaints came only from riders of the
wheel. They put two and two together,
and have put a peremptory stop to the
riding of wheels in the Quaker city I'M
til they can evolve a remedy for bicycle
teeth.
Chicago dentists laugh at the story,
and say that if there are such things as
bicycle teeth in Philadelphia they con-
stitute the only thing in which the
Quaker city is ahead of Chicago, and
they add that they don't believe they
ride fast enough in Philadelphia to in

MONUMENTS TO IA SALE.

Places Near Niles, Mich, Where the Ex-
plOrer stopped, to Be Marked.
The memory of the brave and adj
yenturous Chevalier de la Sale is to be
commemorated by the erection of two
handsome monuments in Michigan.
The 217th anniversary of his trip up
the st. Joseph river from its mouth oc-
CURED few months ago, and this event
revived interest in the great man. The
persons who are to erect the monu-
ments are members of the Northern In
diana Historical society. They are now
assisted by Prof. Edward G. Mason, of
the Chicago Historical society, who is
at present making trips up and down
the st. Joseph river, endeavoring, if pos
sible, to exactly locate the most i'm
portant points which are down in his
tory as the stopping places OF La Sale
and his followers.
Some miles south of Niles on the river
can be seen the last vestiges of a post
established by La Sale 217 years ago.
Here La Sale built a trading post,
which ne left in charge of few men,
and then continued his great march to
the Gulf of Mexico. What became of
the men who were left behind will never
be known. The post was destroyed,
and, it is supposed, they either wan
dered away and persisted in the track
less wilderness or were killed by the
Indians. 1t is proposed to purchase the
site and erect upon 1t suitable monu-
ment. For nearly a year Mr.. Mason
and his companions have been trying
to locate the site of the fort Miami, at
the mouth of the river, which La Sale
and his men built for protection from
the Indians. Not a vestige of it re-
mains now, but when the spot where ii
| once stood is found the second monu-
ment will be erected there.

Neat Little Caps.

The nurses caps are round, not un-
like the sweeper's in shape. They make
up for their simplicity of form by their
elaborate material.
The waitress cap may be either
square or triangular. In either case q
point lies directly above the middle Of
the forehead of the wearer.
The sweeping cap is made of ging-
ham, and it is not beautiful. 1t is cir
cular in shape and entirely covers the
head of the sweeper. 1t is purely utili-
tartan. 1t is made of material heavy
enough to prevent the dust from filter
ing through.
Caps for domestic wear are of four
sorts. There is the nurses ordinary
cap and there Is the nurses stringed
cap, which has a foreign air calculated
to deceive the uninitiated into believing
the wearer ~ an importation from
abroad. Then there is the waitress cap
and there is the mob or sweeping cap.
Altogether the array is an imposing one.

What subirr,eation Means.

Subirrigation is understood to sacan
any system whereby wafer is applied
to the subsoil Of field, garden or or
chard for the purpose of furnishing the
crops growing upon the surface with
the proper amount of water for their
growth and perfection. This is gem
orally done by means OF lines of dis
jointed tile pipes laid about 20 feet in
depth so as TO be beyond the reach of
a pillow or other means of cultivation.

SWEET CORN FODDER.
IL Has Deem Fed with Excellent Resalts
Down In Maine.


Mr.. Walker McKcen. secretary of
Maine state board of agriculture, says:
Previous to having a silo we fed quito
large quantities of sweet corn fodder
cured, with excellent results. The best
way to manage this after 1t is cut is to
shock carefully and allow 1t to dry
thoroughly, then dray to the barn and
pack, preferably in IA bay, In alternate
layers with oats, wheat or barley straw.
Make each layer not more than one foot
thick. The straw takes up the mois-
ture, prevents molding, and is made
better for feed by contact with the corn
fodder. We never packed corn with ears
on in this way, but see no reason why it
would not work equally well, the only
objection we can think of would be the
danger from mice. If well packed,
however, and fed from every day with
plenty of oats about the premises we
should not fear much damage from this
source. If you do not care to try this
plan stand as closely as you can in some
sheltered place, being sure to have it
placed in such a manner that 1t will re-
main standing. When feeding if you
have large proportion of corn you will
probably get better results by cutting
or shredding before feeding. IL you
have but small proportion you will
have no trouble in feeding it by using
small amount each day along with
other folders. Animals will do well on
this fodder. One of the finest and larg-
est herds know of kept for selling
milk in city Is fed largely in winter
on this dried corn with ears on, their
owner using n large cutter, and two
horse power, cutting weeks feed
ahead andallowing it to heat slightly.
For our own use, however, we should
prefer the silo, us there will be saving
of labor and succulent food"

Pests of the Poultry Yard.

This is the season for lice, and it is
only the well-kept coops and yards
that are free from the vermin. Lice
Will drive the sitting hens off the nest.
Will force others to lay on the ground
outside, will cause the chicks to droop
ana die without apparent disease af-
iecting them, will invite disease by de-
bilitating the fowls, and will cause loss
where profit should be the result. DO
not wait for lice to come, but keep the
pests away. Frequent withdrawing
OF the coops, the rubbing of kerosene oil
on the roosts, the sprinkling of tobacco
refuse over the nests, and the liberal
use of Persian insect powder well dust
eel into every crack and crevice as well
as over the floor, the nests, and every
where else, will be the only safeguard.
