GOsHAWKS AND SNOWY OWLS.
Both Found in. Unusual Numbers Thi.

Both Found in Unusual Numbers This
Season in the Region About New York.
There have been shot in the region of
New York, this season, considerable
number Of goshawks, commonly called
blackcap hawks For some time until
this season these hawks have been very
rare here. A New York taxidermist, to
whom are brought many birds and beasts
to be mounted, said that in ten years he
had received but one blackcap hawk;
while this season he had, so far, re-
ceived ten such hawks. They come from
Long island and other parts hereabouts.
The movements of these birds are gov
erned by weather conditions and the sup
plies of the live food which they seek.
The blackcap hawk is a powerful, hand
some bird, which eats nothing but what
it kills itself. 1t can carry off good
sized rooster, and it kills and eats chick
ens and cartridges, and Quails, and other
game birds. The abundance of game in
the country about New York this sea-
son has much to do with the presence
here in comparatively unusual numbers
of the blackcap hawks.
Snowy owls, also, which for number
of years back had been rare in this
vicinity, are this year quite numerous

7 he Frogs.


1t is with no little pleasure that the
Buffalo Courier records the invention
of a new college yell. 1t says: We have
had the inane, the stupid, the gibbering
long enough. To the University of Cali
fornia belongs the glory of inventng a
new yell, all bubbling over with intel
lectuality. To be sure, it recalls the CRY
which Yale sometimes raises-the chorus
from '"The Frogs"-but for all that who
will dare to say that the Californians
have stolen this battle cry from any
source but their own minds?
Give 'em the ak! the AK! the ak:

Right in the neck the neck: the neck.

ture.

Breeding for Spring Pics.

Dfeeu1ng IOr spring rigs.
The present corn crop is so large that
great part of it must seek market in
secondary forms, as pork, beef, dairy
and poultry products. OF all these the

that young, quickly fattened pork can
be sold for. 1t is near the time when
rowing, says American Cultivator, and
some suggestions as to the best way to
make the most of grain in pork may be
useful. In the first place, the largest
part of the swine herd should be young
animals. This will require the keeping
OF more than the usual number of breed
ing sows. How many farmers who have
two breeding sows? Accidents are al
ways liable to happen, especially with
young sows, which often in the first lit
ter produce only four to six pigs. and
one or more of these may be a runt or
be accidentally killed. The reason the
farmer keeps so few breeding sows is
because he calculates on full litter,
and on feeding these eight, ten or twelve
months before turning off to the butcher.
"pAA pAf,S dAS always Su4Sloic az
prices which pay well for the cost of
growing them, and if enough breeding
sows are kept to eat most of the grain,
by the time the pigs are sold the proba-
bility is that this grain will return more
money to the owner than if fed in cny
other way.
Manuring in the Fall.
There is much less waste by fall
manuring than is commonly supposed.
If fresh manure from stables is drawn
out as made and spread over the surface,
the winter SHOWS and rains leach through
it, and whatever soluble fertility it con-
tains slowly soaks into the soil. Unless
the surface is frozen or the land is food
ed from running water coming from
above, there is never any washing of the
surface soil to carry off it's fertility. On
the contrary, the manure Is much better
mixed with the soil than it could bic
left until spring, when if plowed under
the rains seldom come heavy enough to
thoroughly soak the manure in the soil.
The Corn Crop.
1t is probable that throughout the
West this winter, thousands of bushels
of corn will be used as fuel, and 80
long as the price in the producers coun.
try remains in the vicinity of 10 cents, it
is certainly n cheaper fuel than coal.
There is, however, manifested in some of
the specializing centers, slightly bullish
