Louis Jardinas, who Is In New York,
recently came from Cuba to put himself In
touch with the members Of the local dele
CATION of patriots in respect TO new
method of warfare which he hopes TO put
into use.
1t has occurred 10 Mr.. Jardinas that as
the Cubans have not been successful In en-
tering the city of Havana and other impor-
tant places by ordinary means such places
could be attacked from an elevation, and
the idea Of constructing war balloons and
taking them south is now being strongly
argued by him.
Mr.. Jardinas is native born Cuban
and has many grievances against Spain.
His father was General Jardinas, who
fought In the ten years war He was the
owner of an estate near the city Of Baracoa,
In the northeastern part of the province Of
Santiago dc Cuba, which was condscated

CARE OE SWINE.

The cheapest winter feed for swine
Is roots. They may not have so much
nutrment IN themselves, but they
cause the log 10 get more out of his
other food, just as good clover pasture
causes the hog to get more out of grain.
Turnips and rlta-bagas may he grown
on the land from which early potatoes
or sweet corn has been removed. or a
piece OF clover sod may be broken up
after the hay Is harvested.
Don't lean over the fence TO pour the
slop in the pigs trouglr. says the Farm
Journal. The fighting pigs will calise
you to spill n good part OF the slop, and
resting your weight OH your abdomen,
supported by rail. Is not healthful
exercise. Pass n trough through the
pen into the other trough. And il you
nail n board over the top of the first
trough the pigs cannot stop 1t with
their noses and waste the sop when 1t
Is poured in. The old-fashioned way
Is 10 dip the buckets In the SOD barrel
lift them out with Il hard, high lift, all
dripping and overlooking with the
greasy stuff, ana so carry them. or
course, the man who does that gets
greasy, dirty clothes. The new way is
to set the barrel upon blocks and dish
out place for iL.e bucket to sit. and
then put big faucet in the barrel
This way there is no hard lifting. no
buckets greasy on the outside, no drip
or overflow.

curing their wounds was to burn up a

his shoes uppermost when he goes to

In Arabia when the native surgeon
wishes to bring together the edges OF a
gaping wound they hunt up a few large
ants. The native surgeons are. as Il
rule. BARRIERS. The ant, held with a
pair Of forceps. opens Its mandlbles

Of the wound are brought as near to-

A Hunters Unsuccessful Attempt to Catch
aFawn Alive.


Catching Il wild deer by the tail is
not to be recommended as Il first-c.ass
way TO get vension, but it Is Il good
way Tor n Conscientious man while
shooting deer is prohibited by law.
The process of grabbing deer by the
tail is full of difficulty, but it is not to
be compared, in that respect, with
hanging on after getting grab on
the tail. The deer is wary. The deer
is fleet and IT'S tail is short, but III

caught young deer by the tail few
days ago and remained sort OF tail
attachment over windfall and slough
and stump for considerable distance,
says Glen Flora special TO The Mil
waukee Sentinel.
The man was out in the forest on his
big farm. looking for wild cats with
an especial eagerncss on account Of
the bounty of SO Il cat offered by the
authorities. As he was wading up the
creek with n pair Of old shoes protect
ing his feet from the rocky bottom he
espied Il fawn IT a lick. While he was
looking at the little spotted beauty it
lay down beside n log and the hunter
resolved to get the little animal afve.
lie knew that il he could get hold OF
one or both of the fawn's hind legs he
would succeed.
Luckily, the cows CT the farm APP
peared ut that moment on the way to
the creek for n drink. and the fawn.
evidently freIuentcr of the pasture,
seemed to be unconcerned after a quick
glance mt the cows. Selling the op-
portunity the hunter. while the cows
were coming and cracking branches
and sticks. stole up 10 the log. A mo-
ment later the fawn passed directly
in front of him. and the hunter made a
quick thrust of his arms to catch the
deer by the hind legs. He partly sue
ceeded. but i'm the struggle that fol-
lowed. with the staring cows and ycarl-
ings as specta tors. the delicate limbs OF
the fawn began to slip out Of tile wise
of the human hands, and somehow or
other In desperation the man grabbed
the fawn's tell.
The little animal began to run, and
the hunter. who is a very strong man,
held desperately 10 the tail. Down an
old logging road they went little way.
and then the fawn turned in. 1t could
not run very fast with man attached
to its tail. but the first quarter of a
mile was done in good time neverthe-
less. About the beginning OF the sec
ond the fawn went over log and
headed for thcket. In spite of all
the little beauty reached the brush and
plunged in. The hunter was scraped
of, and he had the pleasure OF seeing
the fawn join its mother on the other
side Of the thicket and dart off with her
into the depths Of the forest

FACORS IN BUTTER MAKING.

The man that gets there must. in
butter making, as I'm all other UNDER
takings, he an up-to-date fellow-up-
to-date in all matters relating To his
business from beginning to end.
If one will stop and tlink--think
hard and long-he VIII find that many
factors enter into butter making.
First, ones farm should he put and
kept in proper order. Preparing Il
farm for dairy farming includes a
good deal more than can be even
limited at in such article rs this.
But the reader can think of n good
many improvements that can be made
on such a farm and by futher reading
and inqulring can learn Of many more.
Second, farm buildings are import
ant factors i'm dairying. and while they
need. be neither Snowy nor expensive
can be neat and comfortable.
Third, the selection Of raising of a
herd OF cows Is very important mat
ter. 1t Is now getting to be under
stood that every successful butter
maker Is nearing, or has reached or
passed the three hundred pound mark.
BY this is meant that ii does not pay
to keep any COW that will not produce
at least $50 pounds of butter per an
mum and that real profitable herd
should be made up OF cows averaging
about 900 pounds per COW each year
Such herds cannot as a rule be pur-
chased, they must be raised.
Fourth comes the question OF feed
This Is big and important question,
and no infallible rule can be laid down
because locality, climate, prices and
accessibility are sub-features OF the
feed question. The preparing OF the
farm is n feature that also enters into
1t. The preparation of the farm can
include provisions for valuable grasses
Fifth. the care OF cows. This question
intcrlocks with questions first. second
and fourth. Putting a farm In order
for dairying should include ample pro-
vision for water for the herd for both
summer and winter. pure water and
accessible. Condition OF farm build
ings Is an important factor in the
herds comfort. Feed AID care are twin
factors. With care Is coupled milking,
one Of the most important operations
on dairy farm.
Sixth relates to dairy houses and APP
pllances-.the manufacturing plant. If
you please. This should include needed
appliances. reference to which cannot
be made In detail i'm this letter. Let
those interested diligently and intelli-
gently look the matter up.

Dangers OF Arctic eaIIooning.

Captain Renaud. who makes for the
French Government at Meud6n expert
ments in balloon construction, is not
sanguine about the proposed balloon
journey to the North Pole. The dangers,
he says, are endless. Cold Is one; the
freezing Of the damp absorbed by the
stuff of the balloon Is another. The
worst is the sea that must he crossed.
Most balloonists who have been above
the sea can speak OF the vertigo II
causes. Captain Renaud sometimes

less. these aeronauts come down in an

ship that affects them, but the shock

Two short specimen railroads now

and drawn by a double boilcr steam
engine, have been able to develop IL

economy of friction and the certainty
that the train so suspended cannot

speed is attainable with safety. The
ears are held steady at curves by a
buffer rail on either side against which
horizontally placed wheels along the
