Sparrows XIII q Pigeon.

This story deals with the sagacity
and pugnacity of the English sparrow.
and also shows how curiosity may get
an innocent creature into trouble. The
Riddle mansion, that stands in Glen
Riddle, Delaware county. has for some
time been the nesting place Of several
families of sparrows and the birds ha i
become a regular pest. One day last
week Miss Riddle decided to get rid Vt
the birds. and. mounting a ladder she
tore out at least a dozen nests from
the caves Of the porch. The old birds
returning later and finding their homes
wrecked, held noisy meeting on the
roof and then dispersed.
A stray pigeon that had been roost-
ing around the place for several days
came back late in the afternoon and
flew under the porch caves as usual.
The pigeon evidently noticed something
wrong, for several times he flew from
the porch to where the dismantlel
nests lay. This caused the trouble, for
the angry sparrows noticed it and sus-
pected the pigeon Of being the cause -
their despair. The first thing the un-
lucky pigeon knew he was attacked by
at least 20 screaming sparrows. who be-
gan pecking at him, and despite a brave
resistance the sparrows came off VIC
torious and left a mangled corpse on
the field.-Philadelphia Record.

Sky shssp o. Ten Acres.

My experience with rape for sheep
has not been extensive but 1t has been
very satisfactory. On the goth Of June,
1896, l sowed two acres, and on the 9Th
Of August 1t was % inches high. On
that date turned in go head Of sheep.
which had free access to it until the
first of October. From that time till
Nov. 20, 1 kept 4S head on 1t. It froze
up about this time and my sheep went
into winter quarters. The GO sheep
went into the barn every night during
the summer. In the morning before
going on the rape they were fed six
quarts of bran, and oats. Never had
sheep, and especially lambs, do better.
/ made the statement last winter that !
could keep so head of sheep the year
round on ten acres Of land. This
seems to some pretty strong state
ment, but even better than this can be
done in a good growing season. At
least / am trying it and as follows.
On the 10th of May last sowed an acre
Of rape; on the 25th of May another
acre and on June 10th a third acre. On
the 18th Of June 1 turned the 60 sheep
in the first acre sown. The last of May
/ sowed three and half acres of corn
in drills IS inches apart for winter f0d-
der A fair crop will give me at least
three tons of dry feed for each acre.
This fodder will be cut fine and fed In
the racks, and with the addition of
straw once day and a small ration of
grain l can carry the sheep through the
winter easily. Now for early pasture
for my sheep next spring and to carry
them along till the 18th of June-the
end of the trial year, will SOW in
September three and a half acres of
rye. To continue the trial into the
second year this three and half acres
of rye can be turned under and the
ground planted in corn. The three
acres Of rape will subsist my sheep till
winter. and all that is needed to keep
up the growth and grazing of the rape,
with fresh patch to turn on as needeC.

It is remarkable to see the numerous
animals whose lives have to be sacrl-
feed to furnish the stylish furs OF the
nresent season. H. G. Barker of Car
diner has a wonderful collection OF
dressed furs, from the silky black pear
skin to the tiny chincilla with its fine
fur and pearly gray of color, which
makes it so expensive. The collection
also includes beautiful red anu plue
fox skins, otter, badger, sable and the
richest of all the elegant seal. The
writer would not dare tell the money
value of the array of dressed SKINS ne
WAS nermitted to gaze upon. People
who have faded mink skins, or othe'
faded fur garments, may DE IN
terested to know that Mr.. Barker mas
way of restoring the color and rich
ness quite perfectly. His reputation
as q furrier is being widely EXTENDED
by the stylish garments he sent broad
cast over the State the past season.

TROOP +, CAPT. D0DD,
Will Leave Us at 7 O'clock This Morning, b,
Special Train for Saco.

Troop r did not start upon the jour-
previously been planned. Speaker Reed
had secured the attendance of the troop
for the York county fair which is held,
Sept. IA, Is and 16, and if the troop had
continued it's march it would not have
reached Saco until late Thursday,
which would be too late to give an ex-
hibition. The management of the fair,
knowing that if the troop did not ar
rive their fair would not be so success
full, telegraphed that they would fur
nish a special train to transport the
troop and this offer was accepted, and
arrangements were made that the train
consisting of four stock cars and four
passenger coaches should start from
Augusta at Z o'clock, Tuesday morning.
The day at camp was passed very
quietly with no drills, nothing but the
routine work.
The officers passed the day among
their friends and at the Augusta house,
where they and the ladies of the party
have been stopping.
In the evening, Major McGuinness
entertained a party consisting of the
troop officers, Adjutant General Rich
ards, and one of the majors old army
friends CAPTAIN L. V, CaZiarc, at a
Smoke Talk
During their stay here the officers
and their ladies have had a very pleas
ant time and they are loud in their
praises of the hospitality of the local
military officers and the Augusta peo-
pie in general.
