VENOMOUs SNAKES.
The Poison Machinery of the Rep
tiles and How 1t Is Operated.


tiles and How 1t Is Operated.
Some years ago physician undertook
a series of experiments on snakes with
view to extracting sufficient amount
of their venom to form a basis for in
vestigation, in order, if possible, to dis
curious and somewhat uncanny place
and one from which those with IN
steady nerves instinctively recoil.
The apparatus for extracting the
venom is a most ingenious and yet a
very simply one. A bit of channels is
tied over the top of a funnel which
leads to bottle. Everything is secured
very firmly. The snake is caught by the
back of the neck and placed close to
this chamois He strikes his fangs
through it, when tiny jets of venom are
thrown from the fangs upon the glass
sides of the bottle, trickling thence into
the bottle. Again and again the snake
is made to strike. If necessary, other
snakes of the same species are used I'M
til sufficient amount of the venom is
collected.
The relative deadly qualities of the
venom Of snakes have also been the sub
ject of experiments. 1t appears that the
diamond back rattlesnake is the most
to be dreaded. The next in order is the
banded rattlesnake, followed by the
copperhead and the water moccasin or
cottOnmouth.
The poison machinery of the snake
consists of pair of needle pointed
fangs which, when the creature is at
rest, are folded back in the roof of the
mouth. When it becomes angry, these
fangs are thrown forward, and in the
act of striking tiny jet of poison is
thrown from each. The poison is thin,
yellow fluid which upon exposure de-
composes very rapidly. Snake poison,
if kept from the air or dried, retains its
full force for many years. -New York

PROGRESS ON CITY WORK
Rain Suspended Operations All
Day Yesterday.
THE STREET CAR TRACKS
Not in as Good Shape as the Company
Hoped Il Have Them at the
Opening of the Reces-The
Paving Contracts.

Rain yesterday entirely suspended
the work on the streets, and the loss of
the one day leaves it certain that the
street railroad company will not have
its tracks in the shape il wanted them
at the opening Of the races. 1t had been
hoped to get all the concrete on the
tracks 50 that the work might not be
interfered with by running the cars,
but the loss of yesterday viii make 1t
impossible to get all this lone by to-
morrow noon.
The cars will, of course. he run to the
track on Saturday, n the work ON the
tracks will probably have to be sus-
pended while the race track crowd is
being handled.
The street railroad company has let
to T.. %. Dugan q Co. the contract for
paving the one foot outside of It's
tracks. The franchise requires The
street railroad company to pave inside
its tracks and and for one foot outside
the tracks. 1t would be an awkward

Wright had not been very well and had
frequently said since being there that
he guessed he would not last much
longer. He had not complained n
more than usual the night before. Death
was evidently very peaceful. as there
were no evidences Of pain and he looked

that Wright had said he tried TO enlist

Tho Proper Way to Handle and tho Tim.
for Cutting 1t.

Tho Proper Way to Handle and tho Time
for Cutting 1t.
One advantage with clover Is that It
furnishes two crops in one season The
first crop is nearly always cut for hay.
while the second growth can be used
Tor pasturage, plowed under as green
manure, cut for hay or allowed to ma
ture seed. The clover plant makes a
quick growth, and, If the first crop
is cut in good season, will start up and
soon shade the ground and will fur
nish considerable feed during the sum-
mer, when 1t is so often the case that
the pastures fail.
When cut for hay or plowed under
1t should be allowed to make a full
growth, and be cut when in full bloom.
Properly cured, 1t makes one of the
very best foods for the dairy COWS dur
Ing the winter, as well as for growing
stock of all kinds. Even hogs will be
benefited If given a good feed of clover
hay two or three times week.
Usually the growing of cloverseed
proves profitable. Occasionally when
there is a full crop the price will fall
below that of profitable production. A
3small yield. running from three to
seven bushels per acre, and costing
from 40 cents to 81 bushel to thresh,
is an expensive crop to grow, and I'M
less fair prices are realized will not
be profitable.
In harvesting the heads should all
be left to turn brown before cutting.
self rake is rather the best machine
to cut clover for seed, as 1t leaves it in
punches that can be gathered up readi-
ly with n fork. 1t is quite an item to
handle the clover as little as possible,
as 1t skaters readily.
If tho threshing can be done in good
season the clover can be left as cut
until dried out sufficiently to thresh
But unless you are certain that this can
be done 1t Is best to gather up and
stack the clover as soon as 1t Is sufl-
GENTLY cured. The hulm or straw
makes Il good feed equally in value to
wheat or oat straw, while it can hardly
be eXcelled for bedding
In growing wheat the turning under
of n good growth of clover will be
beneficial. as it supplies the elements
of plant food needed by this crop.
For corn or potatoes 1t is usually best
to allow the clover to die down in the
fall and then plow under in winter
or early spring.

Fail Flowing OF stubb,e Lnna

The most common mistake in pre-
pairing ground for fall grains is wait
ing until just before seeding time OF
about the last week in August and the
first in September. There are several
reasons why early blowing is the best.
The weeds that have started after the
cutting of the small grains are turned
under and kept from seeding. This is
no small consideration where the
ground is at all foul. If some of the
seeds near the surface should start af-
ter blowing, go over the field with a
harrow OF some kind or a cultivator
and allow none to develop.
The chief value OF early blowing Is
that the land has an opportunity to be-
come well pulveriznd and compacted
before seeding time. If the land is
hard when plowed the numerous work.
ings which should be given it with
the rains of late summer and early
autumn, will dissolve the clods and OBJ
literate damage If present when the seed
is sown. Many failures with winter
grains can be traced to late blowing
and imperfect prepa ration of the seed
bed.
Begin blowing as coon as the shocks
have been removed from the field This
Will vary from the first week in July
TO the second in August. depth of
about five Inches is usually sufficient.
depending somewhat upon the character
of the soil. In a few days go over the
field with n harrow in order to level
the ground and create soil mulch to
prevent excessive evaporation. Drag
or roll several times during the fall
and follow each time with a harrow to
loosen the surface. Seed the fall
grains from Sept. 10 to 20, always u.s.
ing q press drill.
