Dairy.

High feeding on the forcing plan
will produce more pounds of butter
from a given amount of food than
will the gradual or ordinary plan,
but it is possible that it wears out the
milk machine more rapidly; and it
is equally true that well bred ami
NAL, having the same feed and care,
means at least 90 per cent. more
profit than scrub. Only those be-
lieve this who have tried it.
There is nothing truer than that
kicking COWS are not born, but
made, and are made by rough treat
ment or by being hurt when first
MIXED. In fact, vicious habits in
any animal are the outcome of
vicious handling. Manage them
carefully when breaking them in,
and much future trouble will be
avoided.
The dairyman who depends upon
replenishing his herd by buying has
always much with which to con-
tend in the way of unsatisfactory
animals, while the man who raises
his own cows can pretty well know
what they are before he puts them
in his dairy. Perpetuate the good
stock by procuring bull descended
from q long line of good mixers,
and raise your own calves.
The dairyman of the old fashioned
kind plows little, pastures much,
produces little. The milkman of
the day reduces his pasturage area
and grows more soiling crops; he
keeps more COWS to the acre, i'm
proves his land all the while, and is
continually making more money.
Separators will take out about a
half pound more butter from the
hundred pounds of milk than will
the churn, which is about 10 per
cent. A separator sells for about
800. Knowing the size of the dairy,
you can figure out for yourself
whether it will pay to invest in one
of these machines.
Successful dairying requires close
attention to small things. There
must be clean bedding, and the COWS
must be kept clean from lice and
vermin. In fact, cleanliness is the
first essential in a well managed
dairy farm, and the lack of it is
alone enough to condemn the pro-
ducts; and the manure must be
looked after as one of the valuable
products.
The dairyman should never be
discouraged by the price of dairy
products, provided he procures the
best prices going. This market has
its ups and downs, like all things
else. Keep production and quality
always up TO the highest standard,
and the profits are sure to come
during the course of the year.
1t is not difficult to prepare for
autumn feeding, but it demands
little forethought. 1t is one of
those cases, so frequently taking
place on the farm, where serious
loss is occasioned by neglecting to
plan in advance. Some succulent
food must be ready when the grass
fails, for there are several months of

BEARS ACT RAFTSMEN
Taught to Work In Logging
Camps and on the River.
How a shrewd italian Taught Bruin
to Guide a Raft

Raftsmen have taken advantage Of
the high water IN the river to bring
down logs to the sawmill. The RATS
that generally come down the creeks
are handled by two men, while on the
river three and four men are necessary.
Tt was on the Loya1soclz creek, which
has it's headwaters in Sullivan equity,
and its mouth about four miles below
Williamsport, Pa. that the remarkable
sight OF bears guiding RATS to the mills
was witnessed last week. Two bears
took one log raft down the stream and a
man and a bear took another 1t re-
NAMED for Posi- Punt, an Italian, to
thus put bears to service.
Posi- Punt came to this country FIVE
years ago. Punt decided that to get
dancing bear to earn a living for him
was better than working himself. He
got a bear and began to tour the coun-
try. He found 50 many cities and towns
in Pennsylvania where the laws pro-
hibited acting bears that he reached
Lnporte. Sullivan county, Pa, with no
money in pocket. Then the italian
was by hunger forced to go into the
woods to work. Punt would not part
with his bear. Together they lived in
a long hut in the lumber camp. Six
months passed. when one day the dane
ing bear was found at home with two
half-grown bear companions Punt
was somewhat afraid at first, but soon
managed to get acquainted with the
new arrivals. He kept the three bears,
and with the aid of the first bear he be
gan to teach the new ones how to do
tricks.
In the spring Punt had to pilot RATS
down the Loyalsock creek to the saw
mill at Mountainville. On one Of these
trips it occurred to him that he might
teach the bears how to guide a raft He
no sooner returned to his mountainous
home than he started to work.
The bears had been used to holding
the balancing poles with their fore

Broom corn shows a more notable
decrease in acreage than any other

paws, and the next thing to do was to
teach them to use it differently Last
season it was not unusual for the peo-
pie Of louisville to see a raft going
down the creek with two men and three
bears on it. Bruin. as he called the
first bear, was always kept at the rear
end of the raft, and Johnny and Gussie
were on the front part.
On these trips, says the New York
Press, the bears were taught how to
keep the RATS from running against the
banks Of the creek and got acquainted
with the bends of the stream. Aided by
signs and calls they became, Punt
thought, able to run a raft.
He did not put them to the test until
recently. They ran the raft success
fully. The first trip Punt was on
the raft with the bears, and they did
their work so well that later on he
made mp two RATS and started for the
west branch Of the Susquehanna river.
The RATS were of logs and started from
near HilIsgrove.
On the first raft Bruin and Johnny
X ere placed. On the second, which fol-
lowed closely, Punt and the bear Gus
sic were the pilots. Punt, by calling
right" and left" told the bear at the
oar which way to push or pull, while at
the same time mo. Johnny and mo.
2 Johnny told the bear at the front
end Of the raft on which side to use the
pike pole.
At a sharp curve, 20 miles from Will
Transport, a log jam was observed.
Punt hurriedly tied up his raft, and,
running ahead, succeeded in boarding
the one manner by Bruin and Johnny.
This he also ran to shore and tied up.
The jam was about IS feet high and
blocked the stream. Punt took Johnny
with him to break the jam.
The breaking Of a jam is a dangerous
thing, and many fatal accidents result.
Johnny, WITH a pike pole, was sent to
disIodge the anchor log. After many at
tempts he succeeded.
The Loyalsock creek is about 40 miles
long and runs through mountainous
country, consequently the bears were
not frightened by men.
