A BLACKBIRD ROMANCE.
20 A Susquchanna lady has a pet black
bird. This summer the birds cage was
placed in a open window, and wild
blackbird flew down to 1t, looks through
for moment or two at the prisoners,
and then flew away. Shortly after
ward the visitor returned, bearing a
worm in the beak. This act of friend
ship was repeated again and again,
until the ca ged blackbird and his mis-
tress went away on visit. The two
birds had been separated for several
months, but recently the lady return
ed with her pet, and had not hung
him up in his old place an hour before
the same wild blackbird was seen fly
ing down to see his former friend.
The Susquehanna club Is this week
being materially strengthened.
The Board of Trade has instructed
its secretary to send copy of the Scran-

for an explanation. Plenty of help
can be secured in Susquehana, IL

Susquehanna, Sept. 21.--In the yard
of a Susquehanna lady recently some
partridges took UP their abode and
built their nest. Pretty little birds
were hatched out shortly after their
arrival, and the mother bird was proud
OF her progeny and took pleasure in
caring for them. A maltese cat be-
longing to a neighbor made it's appear
ance in the yard not long ago on a
foraging expedition, and, watching its
opportunity,made dash at the mother
bird, caught 1t and was taking ii a
prisoner to it's own domain. The noise
made in the struggle was heard by the
birds mate. who came to the rescue,
and a regular battle ensued. The male
bird made a vicious attack upon the
cat, pecking with the beak and strik-
ing at it with the wings until he forced
the cat to release his prisoner The
two birds then flew upon the fence and
watched the retreating form of the cat
with evident signs of pleasure and sat-
isfaction, and no doubt congratulated
each other in bird lingo.

Grades of Mackcrel.

"Mackerel only comes in three
grades" said a we'll known grocery
man, Though there is not one buyer
in each thousand who knows anything
about 1t. These grades are bloaters,
selects and extras. They are also
known rs Nos. l, 2 and 3. Number
ones should measure thirteen inches
from the tip Of the nose to the crutch
OF the tail; number twos should be
not less than eleven and o half inches
long, oil sizes smaller are Jumped un-
der the general head OF number three.
The terms bloaters. selects and extras
refer to the quality and condition, and
not to the size. Mess mackerel means
that the heads and tails have been re.
moved. In the ease of mackerel the
fatter the fish the better is the quality.
Mackerel are also referred to as Nor.
ways and shores. This indicates
where they are caught. Shores are
not rs fat as Norways. The mackerel
caught off Prince Edward Island and
known as islands should be OF n dark
red color. Those caught in the st.
Lawrence Bay are known as bays the
meat of which is darker than that oil

Climate and Movement.

"The most important physical fac
TORN determining lines of movement"
says n we'll known man of science,
''has been climate. Speaking broadly,
migration follows the parallels of lati-
tude, or, moro precisely, the lines Of
equal mean temperature, and not so
much, l think, OF mean annual heat as
of mean winter heat. Although the
inhabitants Of cold climates often
evince q desire to move into warmer
ones, they seem never to transfer
themselves directly to one differing
greatly from that to which they are
accustomed; while no people OF the
tropics has ever, so far as 1 know,
settled in any part of the temperate
zone.
"There is one instance OF a North
European race establishing itself on
the southern shores of the Mediter-
ranean-the Vandals in North Africa,
and the Bulgarians came to the banks
of the Danube from the still sterner
winters of the middle Volga. But in
the few cases of northward movement,
as in that OF the Lapps. the cause lies
in the irresistible pressure of stronger
neighbors; and probably q similar
pressure drove the Fuegians into their
inhospitable isles.
"The tendency to retain similar
climatic conditions is illustrated by
the colonization Of North America.
The Spaniards and Portuguese took
the tropical and sub-tropical regions,
neglecting the cooler partc. The
French and the English settled in tho
temperate zone, and it was not till
this century that the country toward
the Gulf of Mexico began to be oc.
cupied by ihcomers from the Carolinas
and Northern Georgia. When tho
scandinavian immigration began it
flowed to the Northwest and has filled
the States of Wisconsin, Minnesota
and the Dakotas. New York Herald.

RUST IN SMALL GRAIN.

Speaking of the rust diseases that
attack wheat. oats barley and grasses
in North Carolina, Professor MCCARTHY,
of the State Agricultural Experiment
Station, says:
The three fungi which attack grasses
and cereals do not oil have the same
alternate host. Pucinnia graminis has
for alternate hosts tho garberry, ma.
honia and probably other shrubs.
Pucinnin coronata has for it's alternate
hosts the buck thorns, Rhamus lance
olota, frangula and other species.
Pucinnia Rubigo-vera has for its nj
ternate hosts the common and disa-
greeabie weeds Viper's buglass, Ech-
ium vulgare and Cromwell Lithosper-
mum arvense.
Knowing that to complete this cycle
OF growth these fungi require a host

grains if we could extirpate all such
host plants within q half q mile or 30

ment. Yet we cannot hope to ex,
terminate these pests in n or two
seasons, even by completely destroying
their alternate host plant. Once the

companies have adopted the proper
method OF discourag ing train robbery
by Offering a bonus Of $500 for every
robber manned and 81, 900 for every

legitimate, and we are sure that it will
do more to check train robberies than

Of the criminals after they have once

KNEE r U HORSES,

In reply to my friend McLellen I
cheerfully give him my views on
paper in regard to tho subject in
question. writes Charles r. Wood, v.
s. I wish every blacksmith was as
anxious to qualify himself as he is.
There is considerable diversity OF
opinion as to the causes OF this defect,
which is not considered n disease.
While some assert that it is due to q
relaxed and heightened state of the
%extensors, Others are equally positive
in attributing it to contraction OF the
t~lexors, and thus destroying the equi.
librium of said fexors and extensors.
Neither Of these hypothesis seems
to be verified by dissections of the
foreiegs, which invariably disclose
permanent shortening of the liga-
ments at the hinder part of the knee.
Various experiments made confirm
this theory. The ligaments at the
back OF the knee. being shorter than
they should be, the animal naturally
refrains from putting them on the
stretch, the consequence being that
when standing the extensors are n lit
tie relaxed and the knee bent forward.
In time this abnormal position be-
comes permanent.
Though blistering and rest may eff.
feet some improvement, hard and fast
work will bring IN the trouble again.
Let the animal be shod with a moder.
ately high heel, or shoes growing
thinner from toes to heel. 1t is now
generally conceded that a horse which
is knee.sprung cannot be permanently
cured of the defect, as the ligaments
directly posterior to the knee arc per-
manently shortened.
W. have used shoes with low or thin
heels. In this we have to q great ex.
tent adopted tho views of most veter.
mary writer's, but having never re.
ceivcd any decided benefit from such,
we have tried the effect of using high.
heeled shoes with considerable salts.
faction, and on this theory explain
the fact that the ligaments, above
mentioned, being permanently con-.
tracied, they cannot be extended.
The animal while IN motion does
not seem to DO troubled by the defect,
but the moment he is permitted to
stand the knees are slightly bent to
ease the lIgaments. When high-heeled
shoes are worn the tendons are never
stretched, even temporarily, and the
animal has always without any effort
OF his part a solid foundation 10 stand
upon, thus afording considerable ease
when the ligaments are involved. We
are free to advise our patrons to adopt
this method of shoeiig. From my
standpoint do not think a heel ought
to be extremely low or high that must
be governed by the length OF the pas
tern Joint. A happy medium will
answer any purpose.
An animal suffering from navicular
disease is invariably knee sprung, and
when the trouble about the foot is
obviated, the legs generally assume
their normal position, especially after
neurotomy is performed. There is no
doubt in my mind that compelling Il
horse with this trouble to travel with
a low heel increases the difficulty very
materially the less leverage upon the
parts the better he will be. boston
