oFASo mhtlcal OOu1t1eB IhAt Gf0te up-
on the Ears of Educated Renders.
The subject OF pronunciation has
been up for discussion good deal OF
late. The following regarding don't
and doesn't" should be of interest,
coming from the best authority, says
an exchange: EG
Don't is like dropping the final g of
the present pnrticiple, vulgarity OF
people of culture. Thackeray and An
tEony Trollope constantly place it.,
along with ain't for IAN not" or "is
not in the mouths of their highly-bred
characters. The late prince oonsort
used it. l recollect-quoting from
memory from his Lite" by Sir T. Mar
tin-rthat, speaking Of Princess Beatrice
as an infant, the prince wrote: ''She
doesn't like it."
Other corruptions are, or were, 'em
for "them," Hawyut for Harriet"
chawyet for chariot" ynllow for "yel-
low" tossel for ''tassel," Lunnont for
~Lsnean." Roome for Rome" goold
for gold. ohlSege for "oblige." The
Arst duke Of Wellington, as have been
told, always said obleege. 1t certain
~ does CRATE upon the ear to hear don't
used for doesn't" and yet we find it
used in "Pickwick Papers" in the song
which Mr.. Wardle sings on Christmas
eve at the Manor farm, Dingley Dell:
"And love that's too strorg-why, it DON'T
last long,
As many have found to their puin."
In East Anglia they say you don't
ought" and "he didn't ought" which,
though true, is slightly ungrammatical.

BUFFALO FARM.
Wiseonsin Men Cross Breeding the
bison with Profit.


Alberta and Charles Huber, living.A few
miles south of Durand, Wis, have a
herd of about 25 fuIl-blood bison and
some 1s crossed bulls and heifers, bison
and native COW, reports the Minneapolis
Journal. About six years ago they were
hunting in the western part of North
Dakota and succeeded in capturing alive
three young bison, bull and two cows,
and these they brought to their farm
here. The animals grew and thrived
amazingly, and are pastured in an in
closure of about 400 acres running down
to the valley of Rose creek where they
have ample room and shelter.
Experiments were early made with
crossed breeds and it has now been
found that the cross is very successful,
the haIf-breeds combining the docility
of the domestic animals with the en-
durance and large size of the bison.
They are also very fine fur producers,
ard grow TO maturity in less time than
domestic cattle. The flesh of crossed
animals is very palatablc. ard the fur
has all the good qualities Of that Of the
bison, ard is softer and more ss1ky.
The crossed bloods can also stAAA far
more expos ure in winte: than eAa The
native cows. The Hubers believe tAey
have q fortune in thair herd u they oaA
continue its increase q few years lonIer.
