writhing, squirming piles. 1t was hot
day, and they were enjoying themselves
in the fierce sun. Bennett picked his
way among the deadly creatures, his
heels sometimes passing within a few
inches of them. When they grew very
thick and angry he stood up on the
step and saddle. At one point pho
tographer who accompanied Bennett
succeeded in making a picture of him
and the snakes. Most wheelmen in
Routt county, Colorado, wear high
boots when riding about on account OF
the rattlesnakes which infest certain
districts of that county.
On one occasion Bennett, who had
been in the habit of riding his wheeI
about the country, left it standing neal
Fertilization rock, a headquarters fol
rattlers of all sizes and degrees. Be
turning, he found his bicycle alive with
the writhing creatures. They haC
wound themselves about the seat an6
had actually tied the front and bach
wheels so that it was impossible tc
move the bicycle. The owner went
home and got his camera and made 6
picture of the snakes crawling over hi
wheel Then after a fierce battle hi
killed the snakes.
Later he returned to Fertilization
rock, where, according to an old IndiaI
legend, all the big rattlesnakes within
a radius of five miles hold convention
every fortnight during the summer
and took photographs of several fam
lilies of rattlers. No attempt was mad.
to capture the snakes. The photogra
pher, clad in a suit of leather, cautious
ly approached the horrible creatures
and snapped" them before they mad,
any attempt to bite him.

sure Cure for Baking.
A Pennsylvania man owns a horse,
which he says is worth $1,000 to him.
He had offered $500 to anyone who
would cure him of the habit of baking,
and all to no purpose. He then pro-
cured a three-volt storage bat
terry, with which he connected
each side of the bit and crup-
per by means of three wires. The
horse, when hitched to a road cart,
braced his four feet and at first refused
to move, but at the first push of the
button he jumped. snorted and moved
off. Each day for week he was given
the same lesson, and is now his owners
pride, as he never balks, bites or kicks.
Several similar cases have been re-
ported, and in two counts it has been
decided that small amount Of cleo
tricity applied to ball1y or lazy horse
is less cruel than whipping it.

POKER AS A SCIENCE.
Lucky Baldwin Talks About Some
Old-Time Games.
In the Golden Days of California
He Sat I'm the Game for Three
Years When His Winnings
Amounted to 100000.

Lucky" Baldwin,, one of the most
prominent men in the history of Cali
fornia, the man who has seen and sat in
the biggest poker games ever played in
this country, talked with Q Chicago
Tribune correspondent on the great
American game and of his experiences.
He said:
Poker is an art, a science. I believe
it is fast becoming lost art, so to
speak. I never hear any more of such
games as we used to have on the Pacific
coast in the early days-games which
required skill, science, nerve and big
money. No. I believe those days are
gone forever.
"What is poker? Why do say it is
o science, an art?
"Poker Is the science of pretending
that you have one thing when you have
another. Poker is the skill of looking
pleased when you are displeased. 1t is
the science of deception. tits the art of
Discrimination.
81 can recall a few 'sittngs' such as
you don't hear of nowadays. Why, l
was SCI, 800 winner in one game, and
started off with So, 900 loser! No such
games as that now. The times which
permit sudden acquisition of great
wealth in a community are always fore
runners of big poker games. twas so
in California 1t may be so in the Klon-
dixie country.
as it not so in congress? Do not the
members of congress know how the
tariff is going; whether sugar will be
favored or not? Then the inevitable
happens. They make thousands easily
and quickly and then sit down to a
quiet game of poker to beat each other
out of their newly acquired riches.
81 often thought overlooked big
bet in not going to congress. There
has been great deal of easy money
there in those big poker games.

The horse became frantic and rushed
around the field, when swarm of
the big flies attacked it. Then the
cloud OF mosquitoes and flies became
mixed, and the air was filed with a
strange noise, but every moment some
mosquitoes and flies were seen to drop
to the earth. The horse was covered
with blood, the Mosquitoes abandoning
their prey to the flies.

complete the outside row. AS this will
interfere very little with the planting
of fruit trees over the whole interior
surface of the two acres, it will be seen
that on given amount of ground one
can raise much more fruit by using
this outside hedgerow method. It is
possible to crowd the little trees in a
hedgerow, because they will be on the
outside, and can thus have plenty of air
and sunshine, though very close in the
row; and though the row of dwarf pear
trees may be quite close to the inside,
larger fruit trees, the latter are not
crowded by the former, since they stand
up above them. This sort of work is
not advisable on large commercial or
chards, but on the home acre in the vii
lage lot, one wishes to make the most
of every foot of ground.
Planting SO many Of these little pear
trees, selected winter sorts, and chose
that king among pears, the Anjou, and
the scarcely less inferior Lawrence.
Both these pears do finely on the ounce
stock, and both are winter varieties.
With such fruit one can store in cool
cellar and unload upon the market
when the market is most in need of win
ter pears. With fall fruit one is very
nearly at the mercy of the market, for
he cannot hold the fruit for any length
of time.
Nv own trees are set about four feet
apart. In future paintings shall in
crease the distance somewhat. In set
ting the trees be careful to get the point
where the pear stock and ounce root
ioin several inches below the surface,
and for the first winter, at least, give
the roots a mulch for protection

Vow inAyogue Suggested.
tits common observation that the
burrows Of trees in established or
;chards are finer and more productive
than the trees in the interior planta-
ton. This superiority is all the more
conspicuous if the orchard is bordered
by cultivated fields, and it is, fair to
presume the extra INSURANCE is owing
to the trees having aagreater extent Of
unoccupied soil for. the ramifcation Of
their roots. Something is also IN
doubtedly due to the greater space
available for the expansion. and spread
OF the branches; .but IL is iii accordance
with all experieRce IN the.cnltivatieDof
plants that a rotation Of crops is alb
solutely. essential toward securing the
best results Of the fertility OF the soil.
Keeping these facts in view, It is sugg-
+gested THAT an Improvement upon: the
present method. of planting orchards
would be- gained BY planting two rows
of trees from 10 to rs or more feet apart,
depending upon the nature Of the
trees, and alternating the plants N the
rows. Thea allow space, varying in
extent.from 800 feet to any greater dis
lance, before planting another series
of rows, and 50 increase the plantation
as may be desired. The intervening
spaces between these double rows: of
trees would be available for the cult
vation Of the ordinary crops of the
farm. The roots Of the trees would not
only participate in the benefits of cul-
}tivation. but would have practically
unlimited roomsfor extension before
meeting other rootssof their kind. I'M
mediately under thestTees and for dis
lance on each side Of the rows as far as
the brahches spread thessurface could
be keptin grass not sown down i'm
mediately after planting, which might
not be desirable in all cases, it should
be done after the trees attain fruit
bearing size, or, from five to seven years
after setting out. The shelter which
will be afforded to other crops by these
orchards will be found valuable as a
protection from winds as we'll as in for
swarding early crops. This method is
particularly applicable to apple and
pear strees.-Dakota Field and Farm. o. 8

COVER FOR TOMATO VINES.

vas, or old blanket. Between the rows
of tomatoes drive sticks about four feet
apart and nail strips Of boards on the
top at the height of the tomato vines.
Place the covers over these, letting the
edges extend to the ground, where they
must be fastened so that the wind will
not blow them off. Leave no opening
or the frost will get in. I prefer a
heavy cover made of blankets, as this
will often protect the vines when light
canvas will fail. If the work is care
fully done the tomatoes will stand a
great deal of cold weather. Lewis

GOOD USE FOR WEEDS.

When Properly Cared For They Make
a Good Fertilizer. 81 @
Summer heat, when it comes, starts
a numerous and enterprising crop of
weeds into active life. These may be
easily controlled by the frequent use of.
the iron rake, which stiles them at
birth. But if, through inattention,:
they get the start of the gardener and
need to be reduced by the hoe, they.
should be attacked vigorously at the
first chance and not allowed to perfect
and drop their seed into the soil. Pull.
un and shake the larger ones when not
SO near as to endanger valuable plants
thereby, and hoe up all others, not
merely scraping the ground over, but
raking it up and pulverizing it while
roofing out the weeds. These may
then, while still green and succulent, be
raked together and put into the COM.
post heap, where they will be obliged to
return to the gardener all that they
have purloined from his soil. This
compost heap may, by little care, be
made quite an important factor in the
fertility of the garden. Not only all
weeds, but, as crops mature, all the
garden refuse not used for mulching
other plants. may be put into it, wet
thoroughly and covered with a little
earth and thus rotted down and re-
tanned for use as so much homemade
fertilizer. It should be established in
some out-of-the-way corner; a ! hole
dug q few feet deep to accommodate it
will be found convenient and the con-
tents drenched with hose from time to
time to promote decomposition, after
which Few shovelfuls Of earth will de-
lay evaporation and help retain the
gases. When used the addition Of wood
ashes and bone dust, of course, makes
it by SO much the richer.--BostonT Tran
