CALIFORNIA WILDCATS.
Are the Largest That Grow ana Fierce Ii
Proportion.

IT there is a bigger wildcat III the
world than the Californian it has not
yet been located. This ferocious. ami
NAL is about double the size of its broth
er of the southwestern states, being, in
fact, about the size of the western eata-
mount. He runs from no man and if he
be given his choice between eating and
fighting, he fights. AfterWard he eats
generally the. object he has been
fighting with.
This California wildcat is a horrible
monster, about the size of a Gordon set
Ter, with forehad like bull and great,
round, whitey-gray eyes that will sure.
ly hypnotic you if you allow them to
look long enough at you. A yaWning
mouth swims in disgusting foamy
saliva that drips and swings in Shiny
strings from sharp white fangs an inch
long. The chemical base of this saliva
is hydrophobia.
If you should happen to run across
one of these feline gentry on Cali
fornia mountain side and should chance
to be unarmed, be careful. Don't at
tempt to bluff him, for you might as
well attempt to bluff man-eating tiger
In the jungles of Bengal. If you
menace him in any way he will leap
upon your breast and tear your face
into ribbons. After he has dene this he
will kill you. Nor run. If you do, you
are doomed. He can catch you in half
dozen leaps and can climb three trees,
while you are climbing one. The only
thing to do is to ignore him altogether.
Pretend that you don't see him. Look
cheerful as the rural photographers
say, and stroll carelessly along until
you have disappeared in the forest.
The chances are that he will let you
alone.
Every now and then one sees one of
these beasts hanging head downward
on nail in front of game dealers in
San Francisco. The hunters kill them
and send them into San Francisco for
the Chinese trade. The Cinnamon buy
them for their hearts, which they pre-
pare after the manner of sorcerers and
eat. The Chinaman who has eaten the
heart of wildcat is supposed to pos
sess a daredevil courage forever aft
erwards and he walks among his less
fortunate fellows modern Ghengis
Kahn. So where coolie who has lost
all his money gambling, or has been
cozened at a bargain, or disappointed
In love, feels yearning to run amuck
and kill somebody he buys dead wild
cat, if he can find one, takes revolver
and an iron bar and starts out. Il it
is understood that he has eaten the
heart of a wildcat he has a clear field,
for no Chinaman viii dare face him.

NOTES FOR BEEkEEPERs.

Keep the brood in the center of the
hive if possible and the honey on, the
| outside.
All combs that are built by bees
| naturally contain too much drone
comb.
Foul brood is very contagious and
will spread with great rapility over an
| apiary.
Never allow a swarm of bees to re-
main long after settling; hive them
as soon as possible.
In the heat of the day, when the air
is full of them on the wing. is the best.
time to work with bees. After dark is
the worst time.
Iii arranging the frames in the hive.
the best and newest combs should be
placed in the brood nest, and notion the
outside, for surplus honey
Comb honey is easily damaged. The
greatest pests are moths. tt they are all.
lowed access to comb honey, they will
soon cut the clippings and destroy It's
appearance.
Curing honey simply means proper
evaporation Of the water ii contains.
This is accomplished in the hive BY
high degree Of temperature, and can be.
done outside by maintaining the same
conditions.
Colonies that lack stores for winter
should be fed the required quantity in
the fall, and September is the best time
to do it. 1t should be done while it is
yet warm enough to allow the bees to
seal the stores over.
Every colony should have IS or SO
pounds of good sealed stores to bring
them through to the first of May, with
good winter protection besides. Tt is
far better to have little too much
stores than toe little.
Strong colonies of bees sometimes be-
come suddenly depleted in numbers,
with not enough left to keep up the
necessary warmth to hatch the eggs.
This is because no young bees have
been hatched, and the old ones, super
ANIMATED, left the hive in search of food,
and were not able to return.-St. Louis
Republic.

The sn,rIt Of the aome Comine.

There are many people who regard a
Thanksgiving day as a meaningless
day, and its celebration once year a
waste Of time and mockery. 1T might
have been, they go on to say, a day of
reality to those who in early colonial
times had hostile tribes, inclement
weather and threatened starvation to
fight, and whose natures were wrought
upon to all their depths of fear and
gratitude. But for us in these days Of
no national crises, in these days of
money-getting and materialism, a
Thanksgiving day means only day in
which, oftener than not, observances
are bore.
Yet for all that, and in spite of what
the croakers say, year after year in
every home in town and country some
glad preparation for it is made, Feasts
are prepared. Welcome stands ready.
To the returning wanderer arms are
outstretched; to the homeless way
farer the hand is extended. Cost of
labor and pain of preparation are for
gotten in the joy of reunion. ALI the
year that has gone has been with many
but as vista looking toward it. For
them all the year to follow shines as a
new. pathway leading to the same
bright end
No New Englander, close pressed as
he may be, stays willingly away from
the family gathering on that day. Rich
and poor alike are stirred by one COM
mon impuEse-to go home. One man
may want to feel once more the com
fort of an old familiar chair that no
change Of fashion has moved from its
long-accustomed place. Another wants
the sense of peacefulness that belongs
TO a certain sunny window with ger
aniu1ns in it when all the world with
out is quietand stiffness reigns within.
SomeWant the nursery, with Its tattered
books, and some the associations Of
old sounds, as the clicking of the gate
or the hurrying footsteps up the stair.
Some want the friends of childhood;
and back of all, and through all. and
over all, each and every one wants the
finding again of the mother, the face
and the voice and the touch of her---of
her whose love has never fa1tered,
whose sympathy has never failed, who
welcomes them without reproach, who
reJoices in them without envy, who is
proud of their success without measur-
ing their failures, who has kept her
ideal of them undinlmed, and yet who
will minister to Them the livelopg day
as to one saved from an angry tempest,
her arms their support, her warm heart
their resting place. Harper's Bazaar.

How to Dress Chickens and Turkeys for

Poultry should be kept without food
or water "a hours before killing for

this occurs eorrespondingly lower
prices must be accepted than Obtains
hle for choice stock. Never kill poultry
by wrfnging the neck. The demands of
various markets vary q little in the
manner of dressing poultry, and in
preparing it for market; the custom of
the market to which one is to ship
should be followed.
Chickens for Chicago should be.
killed by bleeding in the mouth or
opening the veins of the neck; hang
by the feet until properly bled. Leave
head and feet on; do not remove the
iItestines nor crop. Scalded chickens.

of dressing will do if properly done

In dressing turkeys for Chicago OBJ

for preparing chickens, but always dry
Pick. Dry picked turkeys always sell
best and command better prices than
scalded lots, as the appearance is
brighter and more attractive. Endeavor
to market all old and heavy gobblers

demand is for small, fat hen turkeys

found the invitation transferred to The

known for the last six years, And no

Riuening Period 81 Hogs.

The ripening period should be before

says, too much feed needs to be con-

ture, lileduring the heated period not

terially increase the size of the carcass.
The nearer we can come In securing an
average daily increase, the more sue-

of the fact that we realize much sooner

That crowd the pantry shelf.
And don't forget. Thanksgi giving.
