An Amateur Hunter Has an Adven.
ture Down in Maine.
On Thursday evening four tired but
we'll satisfied hunters returned to Ban.
gor after weeks trip into the wilds
of Maine, bringing as spoils six hand
some deer and great big black bear.
The six deer are well deserving of
more or less praise, but the bear was
the most admired. The party consist

Mr.. William Sykes Wood, an expert

the hero Of the party
The gentlemen established headqunr-

and early one morning Mr.. Lash, ac-
cOmpaniel by his faithful hunter,

after game. and big game at that.
Seated OH log. Harry waited pa
tiently for his guide to ''scare up
something" After an interval of an
hour or more. becoming somewhat i'm
patient, he wandered for some dis
tance up runway" and spied big,
ugly black bear Sinking off. With the
instinct of a natural born hunter, he
brought his rifle to his shoulder and
located an ounce or more of hot lead
in the bear.
Maddened with rage. bruin turned,
; and, standing OH his .ind feet, eyes
ablaze and mouth foaming, approached
Harry. who YVES much taken aback by
the warlike tactics Of his excellency.
, Again lie tried to pump a cartridge
into tile barrel Of his rifle. but for OBJ.
, vious reasons the gun refused to be
. broken down like an ordinary shotgun
SO Harry dropped it as though it had
been red-hot iron. and pulled out q
small penlinife-his only remaining
weapon Of defense. and made up lrit
mind. as he stated to friend after
ward. '.if the bear had ever got neal
r enough To me he would have known
that lie was in Il fight

Mi for the Colt.

No man who intends to educate a
colt into a pleasant driver, says an ex-
prricnccd horseman. will. in breaking
him. use Il driving bit that will make
him :, confirmed bit-tigllter. II rightly
handled tho ordinary snatiie bit is as
severe as is required on colt. 1t is
after an ambitious colt has been pun
ishcd hy Furnishing bits that he be-
comes n terror, for as soon as a bit is
placed in his mouth he knows what he
is to get. Usually it is the cowarlly
driver who uses cruel bits.

give 10 profitable returns. they will
cough after leaving their beds until
they have "tLawed out" we'll towards

why he has no luck with hogs.
The truth is. there is no such thing
as luck with hogs. The man who sue.
ccc,ls may not always know just why
lie succeeded. and lie who fails may
often he equally in the dark as to why
lie failed: but there is a reason or re:l-
sons in both eases; and one of the
points upon which success or failure
often depends is that under considera-

hog houses are not so much i'll favor rs

afford them. Contagious diseases have
hecOlne too common to make the
thoughtful farmer desire structures SO
permanent and expensive that he can
not afford to abandon or move them.
Hut practical comfort. dry beds and
protection against storms, cold rains,
snow and slect are important. The
spectacle of hog, hot on one side

he is driven for the sake of the heat.

other. is not SO uncommon. 1t would

indeed, they are going on all the time

luck. TO have good luck requires good
care, with attention to the comfort of
the animals. and it cannot be had on
any other terms.-The Homestead.

The season has arrived when the
weanling colts should be especially
cared for and not be exposed to the
cold rains and sleets of carly winter
The foundation laid in the constitution
of the colt determines the usefulness
and value of the horse. There is too
much carelessness among the breeders
In their attention to the comfort ot the
growing colts. If they are exposed to
lh~ cold rains and sleets they are lia-
bic to contract the distemper and lose
their growth during the winter. AMI
the profit in horse-raising. as in cattle
raising. is largely determined by early
maturity. and this cannot be accom-
plished without liberal feeding and
reasonable protection from the incle IL
cncy of the weather The colt should
be taught to eat groin while following
its dam, and be given a generous ra-
tion during the first winter, In order 10
insure permanent growth.

This Yenr.. sun spot.

The small group of sun spots which
first became visible on Sept, on the
western limb, gradually increased un-
til they came completely into view
about Sept 13, when they were seen to
extend in a long, straight stream, the
spots in some parts being so close to-
gether as almost to form a single rift
in the solar surface. AS seen on Sept.
16, the group extended over some $780,
OOO miles, with breadth of about 35,-
900 miles. and it took two complete
days for the long procession to pass by.
The principal axis of the group was in
clined at an angle Of about IS degrees
to the SUMS equator; in the afterpart
Of the group a decided tendency to
segregation was noticeable, and by the
10Th a deep, dark nuclear spot had
formed Mt the head of the group, and a
second large spot with large double
nucleus about one-third of the way
down the group. Although this is one
of the longest continuous streams of
sun spots which have been observed,
the phenomenon was not attended by
any great magnetic disturbances; but
just before the last spots crossed the
meridian there was distinct disturb
ance, and aurora borealis displays
were noted In some parts of the coun-

Selling Draft Horses.

a ii0rse breeder having made the in-
Quiry below is answered in the col
umns Of the Breeders Gazette by a
well known draft horse breeder and
importer, as follows:
II could spare twelve good draft
horses this winter. Would you advise
me to shape them up for sale, or hold
them another year|'
inasmuch as your correspondent
does not state what ages the horses
are, take it for granted that they are
.matured-say four years old and over
and this being the case, l would, ii l
were in his place and in tile absence OF
further information, prepare them for
market this winter. My reason for so
doing is because, although l firmly be.
lieve that h'rses, and especially draft
horses. will be materially higher in
price than they arc now. the question
is. will those prices be sufficiently ad-
vahccd to pay for the keep OF idle
horses between now and then. and
nlso make up for amy possible losses ~
accidents that may ".cUr luril. the
year.

How Goethe Came Near to Being

One evening toward the close of the
last century Il traveller alightcd at u

In the morning one of the maids Of
tie inn told the landlady that, listening
at the strangers keyllole the night be-

the justices Of the town. and sundry
officers were speedily assembled about

of burning birthstone caused the stout
burghers to draw their noses away
from the dor. and stifie their coughing
as best they could.
a sharp, shrill voice was now heard
to answer:

said:

Lung Worms.

The most marked symptoms of
worms. in the lungs is husky cough,
accompanied by falling off in the
general condition of the animal. This
disease is likely to trouble the entire
flock. as Its origin is either in the wal
ter drunk or from eating the grass in
tswampy soil. The worms live in the
water or moist soil. the eggs are at
staC he'd to the wet grass, and the young
worms infest the water, so that th.,
parasites readily gain access to the
sheep and lodge in the air passages of
the throat and lungs, causing great ir-
ritatiOn and producing mucous on
which the worms feed. The cough is
caused by the attempts of the sheep to
