WILD POST OFFICE CATS.

fuse to Leave the site.
During all the time the old federal
building was being torn down and
since the foundationsfor the new struc-
ture have been in progress the cats
ing have chung tenaciously to the site,
reports the Chicago Post. They have
become wild as animals in the jungle.
While the old structure was being
taken down they sought refuge in the
coal vaults under the sidewalks. The
foundation contractors have torn down
the vaults, and half q dozen Of the cats
have their haunts under the piles OF
timber and under the temporary offices
inside the Enclosure.
Building Inspector Canman has made
an effort to redomesticate the cats, but
he has given up the attempt. Two of
them were placed in his Office week
ago and imprisoned in closet. They
were fed twice q day and the door was
left partly open to accustom them to
the place. The other day the inspector
thought they had become accustomed
to their surroundings and the closet
door was opened to let them out. They
darted out into the room and leaping
over the top of desk sprang out Of an
open window and disappeared under a
pile of timber.
There were score or more cats In
the old building, petted and fed by the
employees. They made themselves at
home in every office in the building.
Some of them were taken to the tenn
porary post Office. The neglected ones
probably will cling to the old place
and make their habitation in the new
structure.

GHOST AFFECTS A SALE.
Buffalo House Sacrificed Because II
Was Said to De Haunted.


1t has leaked out that Buffalo has a
ghost, and a most remarkable one,
being that of no less person than the
late Harry III. Koch, an upright bust
ness man Of this city, whose round
form did not suggest spooks, though
he was in the shoe trade and was once
sheriff of Erie county, in either of
which callings he must have heard q
great many genuine ghost stories, says
the Buffalo Express.
Ex-Sheriff Koch hanged himself a
dozen years ago in his costly house on
Delaware avenue, but the story Of his
ghost did not become public property
till the other day. The old Koch home
stead in the avenue had been sold by
order of court to settle the estate, and
some of the interested persons de-
INJURED because it had been allowed to
go SO cheap.
The Judge replied, by way Of excus-
ing himself from possible blame, that
it had been necessary to sell 1t under
price. He said that the house had
the name Of being haunted. So many
people declared that they had seen the
former proprietor wandering about
the rooms since his death that it had
been found impossible to obtain high
price for 1t, in spite Of its great cost
and its location in the wealthiest Sec
ton of the city.
There was no further objection and
the property was allowed to go, ghost
and all.

RAG OFFERINGS.
An Odd Old World Custom That Still
Obtains.


Obtains.
The singular custom of leaving rags
and other worthless objects at wells has
not entirely fallen into disuse. The SUI
perstition, In q modified form, exists i'm
other portions Of the world, says Go
dey's Magazine. A traveller in Persia
found tree with rags tied to Its
branches. They had been left there by
the inhabitants of a province infected
with ague. A tree hung with rags was
found by another traveller in Africa.
Crooked pins, old clothes, pebbles,
shells, rusty nails, small coins, and even
bundles of heath were considered ap-
propriate thank-offerings at shrines in
earlier days, for 1t was believed that the
saints and apostles did not care for ar
ticles of value.
Such was the superstitious alteration
Of fountains that 1t was forbidden by
the sixteenth of the canons issued in
o6o, in the reign of King Edgar, and II
was condemned by the canons of ST..
Anselm. 1t was also interdicted by
laws passed in the reign of King Can
ute. Since the reformation the prac-
tice has not been prevalent, except In
Ireland, where many old wells conse-
Grated to saints and martyrs are yet
made places of pilgrimage. There is
scarcely a parish throughout the land
that has not its own holy well, where,
despite practical admoniton, the faith
full and the faithless come to pray for
physical or mental relief, and leave be-
hind them scrap of rag as an offer

COTTON SEED MEALS.
No Other Food Varies Quite SO Much
I'm Composition.

~
I'm Composition.
Much has been said and written rela-
tive to the use of cotton seed meal as "a
cattle food. Nearly all investigators
agree in giving it a high value and urge
dairymen to use this material, not only
because 1t is a cheap source of protein,
but because it also has high manurial
value. Practical feeders differ greatly
in their estimates of cotton seed meal.
Some seem to use it very satisfactorily
for awhile, and later conclude that the
feed is not well adapted for their pur-
poses. Occasionally feeder observes
that the health of his animals is af-
fected by the feeding of cotton seed too
freely, and it sometimes happens that
even after animals have been fed for
months with apparent success that
they are injured by its continued use.
1t has also happened that cows fed
upon cotton seed meal do well for a
time and that later the milk flow is
diminished without any apparent
cause.
There are at present no other concen-
trated feeding stuffs which vary so
much in composition as cotton seed
meals from different sources and. diff
ferent mills. Within three weeks the
Maine agricultural experiment station
has examined samples varying from %
per cent. to over SO per cent. of protein.
This great variation in different lots
of cotton seed meal may explain the
different estimates of different prac-
teal feeders and of the same feeders
at different times. If cow is fed a
cotton seed meal containing 26 per
cent. protein, and is then fed an equal
weight of meal containing SO per
cent, it is evident that the amount of
protein which she receives will have
been doubled by the change. If she has
been fed up to her full capacity in the
first instance, such an increase might
result disastrously. On the other hand,
changing from a cotton seed of high
protein content to one of low protein
content would diminish the milk flow
unless the amount of meal fed is also
correspondingly increased. - Rural

A stendx Walking Gait.

Walking Is one Of the gaits that is
nearly always neglected, and yet an ac-
tive, quick, clear-footed walk is q val
liable gait to the horse intended for the
farm, for use as q roadster or for a
saddler. A horse broken to harness is
generally trained for awhile at the side
Of some steady old animal, and the
youngster, if inclined to walk fast, soon
begins to learn that it is not the thing
to do. For that reason 1t is best to
break a young horse in single harness
or under the saddle, and train him to be
q good walker, as well as good at other
gaits. A three-year-old is generally a
better walker than he will be at any
other age If he Is kept as a harness
horse, unless specially trained with a
view to brisk, active movement in that
gait.-Prairie Farmer.

daylight below it. The tails of all Chew
lots are left long enough to reach the
hooks. This needed protection, espe-
cially to the udders of ewes, is rendered
practicable on account of the dry ma
ture of the usual forage, which obviates
the danger of securing. The legs be-
low the knees and hooks, as well as
the face, is covered by close growth
of short, stiff, white hair. The fleece is
SO dense and close as to be almost i'm
penetrable to rain and cold. The ewes
clip from five to seven pounds each,
rams two to three pounds more. The
wool is of medium length, strong and
firm, furnishing the staple for those
durable cloths known as cheviots. The
live weight of ewes and wethers ranges
from 100 to 100 pounds. The mutton is
finely marbled, juicy and palatable.
Ewes are prolific, averaging three
lambs to two ewes annually, and are
good mothers, with abundance of milk.

Straying adown her brow as though to gaze
Into her violet eyes, a sunny maze

Parted her lips, and all the world grew gay
To hear the music at the gates of pearl.
Dimpled her cheeks, and lol each pretty

Shaking with sunshine, made midwinter May.

Brooding DER books and kissing withered

Forgot my lore and all my lonely hours
And watched her curls and loved the world

Training n Shepherd Pup.

To train a shepherd puppy to drive
cows and sheep, be sure that the sire
and dam were trained to do what you
wish of the pup, and that he naturally
goes to the heel and not to the head.
If these are secured, the training is
easy, and only consists in teaching the
pup to come at once when called. Then
take him on string with you few
times, so as to let him get used to see
ing the cows or sheep, and let them be-
come acquainted with the pup. Then
let him go, but keep him near you to
avoid getting him hurt and frightened,
and little by little he win come to un-
derstand what he Is to do and how to
do it.-Dakota Field and Farm.
