Conduct Of Birds and Beasts Toward Tiiei
Ccllows In Distress.

Conduct of Birds and Beasts Toward Their
rcllows In Distress.
An Adirondack boy of 13 set out
ono day to hunt four young crows
that he heard down on the flats Of
the West Canada creek, near North
wood. 1t happened that the boy goS
q bunch shot at the young birds, and
two fell dead, while a third clutched
at the branch on which it vas stand
ing, pitched forward, and was soon
hanging head downward crying pitt
fully. The fourth young crow flew
away. Tho wounded crow S cries at
tracted not only its parents, but five
other full grown crows. All sever
circulated about encouraging tho
wounded bird IS best they could.
/ One Of them ventared in too close,
and another shot killed it. TIE
young bird soon fell Tutoring to taa
ground, when tl.o BOY killed it.
Sympathy had brought one bird
to its death. But the CROWS were not
the only sympathiZers with tho
wounded young crow. A flock OF
bluo jay from over in Park s balsam
swamp came across the creek and
hoped about in the high branches
CT tho birch trees, protesting in blue
jay talk against the killing of tho
crows. The little birds-the wood
peckers and the warblers the spar
rows and the sapsuckers-peeped
louder and more frequntly than be-
fore, showing agitation over tho
young crows cries.
Once young woodsman who
wanted vcnison more than he feared
the game constable went deer crust
ing III q yard away back in the woods,
whore the snow was five feet deep
He found the deer, fair sized buck,
whose horns had been dropped somu
time previously, and heand bis com
panions, with the dog leading, start
ed Oh tho jump after the animal.
Tho dog got there first and grabbed
the deer by the hams. Tie deer cried
out and did its best TO get away.
When at last one Of the men got a
knife into its threat. the voodsmal
observed that as many as Is Or "a
bluo jays had gathered about in the
trees overhead and were protesting
in loud, angry voices at the killing
of their woods brother.
The Sun told recently about a
wildcat that visited her sweetheart
that had heen trapped by g cracker
down in the Ckafenokee swamp III
Georgia, and there is scarcely a trad
per of fur but could tell of solno
story or other Of how beast in q
trap had been visited by chs Of its
species. Tho male fox sometimes
kills the vixen wien she is so unfor-
tunate as to get iE1oa trap, AID some
wocdsmen believe tbat,it is a heroic
method CT trying to release her.
The question has been asked why
it was that when q COW beloved out
in distress all the others of the herd
promptly rushed at her and gored
her to death. 1t has often been de.
scribed how wolves set upon injured
companions and tear them to pieces
Dogs have been known to do the
same thing, while other dogs have

How Pnris Jol1od During tho Siege.
A recent exhibition of French car
features and comic drawings brought
to the public eye once more the evil
denccs of tho fact that Partisan gay
ETY. was not to be suppressed even
by the terrible siege that the capital
went through from the German
army. One OF these carica lures, pub
lishcd during the siege, was made to
represent q fashion plate. Various
elegant ladies' and gentlemen wero
pictured going about in mattresses,
and underneath the picture was the
legend, Cushions for tho lombard
ment season.
Most of these pleasantries of tho
siege turned upon the scarcity OF
food, q grim subject which seemed
particularly inspiring to the carica-
turist OF the time A servant asks
his master, "Shall ] put the hcrsea
in the carriage today or i'll the ba.
rouche?" "H N. says the master

Not unlike this is another carica-
turo representing a servant making
the familiar announcement to his
mistress, "Tne horses are ready,
madame. "What!' eyes, madame,
they are on the tablel'
Such pleasantries seem scarcely to
havo been a laughing matter to tho
people who went through those fear
ful scenes, but tho Parisians musi
laugh at aomothing, and these pic
tures prove tlsat they could nort think
OF stopping thoir gayety On account

A.-Yes. sir: there are diRerences.

BY thG breeding Of cattle. We have

A.-Well. We have made some expo

Mr.. Potter.-I think there will be
moro money lost In going to Mexico
and other places for feeders than We are
likely to make up for some time. They
will put these cattle and their expen-
sive feed together and lose both.
Professor Cothell. being called on.
said that he agreed with Professor Cur
tiss as to the amount OF gain certain
animals would make. but that there was
an immense difference In individuals
as to the use they could make Of the
same food, even when such animals
were of the same breed.
A Member.-Some years ago some OF
the farmers In my vicinity bought some
Texas cattle for fattenihg purposes.
But with the Texas cattle they bought
also the Texas fever and 1t worked gen
eral havoc. Many Of the farmers that
bodsht those cattle had been getting
along well. but some Of them lost 80
heavily through the fever that they
went out OF the cattle business alto
gether. That experience should be .
lesson for all.
Mr.. c. N. Beeson spoke on the possi-
bilities and probabilities Of Western
Kansas. Western Kansas Is now being
used for purposes which nature intend
ed It. Nature designed that part Of the
state a. q grazing region. But the i'm
migrants from Illinois and Ohio had
In their minds eye the pleasant homes
they had left, with orchards and grain
fields, and expected to reproduce tho
same conditions in Western Kansas.
But the lessons Of experience, though
costly. are never forgotten. And the
attempt at farming with grain - the
only resource has been proved to be an
expensive failure. The possibility Of
success in Western Kansas has been
into q certainty.

Rcetlt.ae II Turkish seaAlsfs.
An English surgeon, DR.. Ryan, while
serving with the Turkish army In the
campaign OF 1S77-7S, saw . marvellous
exhibition Of the fortitude that resists
pain and sustains with cheerfulness q
violent physical shock.
The surgeons Arst capital operation
Was performed on q Turkish soldier
whose knee had been shattered by q
she'll He refused to take chloroform,
and the surgeon took his leg Oh above
the knee.
He never groaned nor uttered an
exclamation. but smoked . cigarette
during the operation. When the Tur-
kish captain came around with his
notebook to take down the name. ags
and regiment Of each wounded man
this patient answered quietly an ques-
lions. though the surgeon was stitch
ing up the nap Of skin over the stump.
At the hrst battle Of Plevna DR.. Ry-
an worked all day among the wound
ed. In his book, Under the Red
Crescent" he records that In all his
surgical experience he has never
known men to exhibit such fortitude
under intense agony as did these Turk
isii soldiers.
The recovery Of the wounded. consid-
ering the unfavorable conditions under
which they were treated, Alled him
with wonder. Their injuries we're ter
rible. but their splendid physique. un-
impaired by intemperance. enabled
many of them, after . few weeks in
the hospital to resume their places in
the ranks.
Il never saw a private soldier under
the influence of liquor during the whole
time that was in the country" writes
Surgeon Ryan. There were many Of
these men whose lives I could have
saved II I could have persuaded them
to take stimulants: but 1t was impos-
sible to get them to touch alcohol.

"The principles OF their religion for
bid the use OF alcohol. and the humble
Turk clings SO tenaciously to his re-
lision that he would rather meet death
itself than violate IFS precepts."
Many Of the wounded lost their lives
owing to their religious belief that the
loss Of limb would prevent them
from entering Paradise. They refused
to submit to amputations. preferrine
to die rather than to live MANNED.

The Air Of the StshlS.

Too little attention is paid to the air
Of the stable. Yet there are two rea-
sons Why the air should be kept pure.
First. for the purpose Of preserving the
health OF the cows; second, that milk
drawn in the stable may not be polluted
by the bad air. In the spring and sum-
mer and fall It Is an easy matter to
thoroughly air the stable in day time.
Open all the doors and all the windows.
letting In the sun IS well as the wind.
The work Of the latter will be the more
effective II care has been taken to keep
the manure cleaned out, and II arrange
ments have been made to have the
urine run on into tanks below or out
side Of the barn. The less the air is
allowed to be polluted by these means
the easier will 1t be to keep the whole
inside Of the stable clean and sweet
SMILING.
One Of the greatest obstacles to pure
air is the usual system of handling the
manure. That is. a hole is cut in the
sfce Of the barn through which to
throw out the droppings. The pile on
the outside accumulates from month TO
month, and by spring has become Z
source of foul smells tina: penetrate
into the stable through all the cracks.
windows and doors. The manure pile
against the side Of the barn Is a relic
Of barbarism. and must be banished.
both for the sake of cleanliness and
that 1t may no longer be an o6ense to
the eye. Once dispose Of the manure
question and 1t will be possible to keep
the barn in a condition that will make
clean milk the rule and not the excep-
tion. II We are to have clean smelling
barns, 1t will be also necessary to have
clean cows, for when cows are 90 badly
kept that their TANKS are plastered
with lllth, We cannot hope to accom-
plish q permanent good by opening the
doors to the pure air. Sinking COWS
will shortly again make bad the air
that has been but recently purified.
Clean cows may be had BY construct
ing the platforms where they
stand, SO that they will keep clean, and
by building stalls in such a manner
that the cows will be compelled to
stand straight.
1t will cost something to arrange the
COW stable 20 that the air can be kept
pure, but It will save money that would
be spent in doctoring the cattle. It
will also save now and then the life Of
IN animal. Recently. on a big dairy
farm In Illinois. . very fatal disease
broke out. resulting In the loss of
scores Of good animals. Investigation
showed that the trouble had begun
with filthy stables, and that cleanIy
methods were not introduced till 1t vas
