Srortsmen, epicures and the bird s
CHEEKY whistle have made bob-white
one of our best-known birds. AS the
most northern representative of fam
lily which has its center of abundance
in subtropical regions, bob-white is
more susceptible to the rigors of a
northern winter than more truly
boreal birds. Being eminently ter
restriai, heavy SHOWS sometimes COM
pietely bury bevies of birds, roosting
as is their wont, on the ground. They
seem. however, none the worse for ,iv-
ing interment and have even been
known to seek shelter in a snowbark,
diving into it while in full fight 1t is
when fall of snow is heavily crusted
that bob-white is in danger. Escape
from beneath his snowy coyerlid is
then impossible, ard whole focks have
been found frozen where they had
roosted.-Frank NJ. Chapman, in Chau-

HINTS FOR sTOCkMEN.

In training colt to harness never
work it beside sluggard or worn out
horse, but rather by a quick, active,
steady horse.
After the orchard is well started to
growing, the best plan of manuring is
to scatter broadcast all over the sur
face of the ground.
Keep the old sows that have proved
themselves good breeding animals as
long as they continue to farrow good
litters of thrifty pigs.
In commencing to feed new corn to
hogs it is best to commence with q
light ration at first and gradually
increase as they get accustomed to
eating.
With all stock intended for market
it is an item to crowd the feeding now.
better gain in proportion to the
amount of food supplied can be Sc
cured now than later-Farmers Union.

Did This Dog Thinka

There is fox terrier of remarkable
intelligence installed as ruling factor
in very happy and harmonious house
hold uptown. One of the favorite
amusements of the terrier is playing
with a soft rubber ball. The other
day member of the family filled the
soft ball with water. The terrier
pounced upon the ball, chewed down
on it. squirted the water down his
throat and dropped the ball. After re-
peated efforts he emptied the ball Of
water and enjoyed his play. The next
day he again found the ball full of
water. and for awhile seemed very dis
consolate as he gazed sadly at the toy.
He left it for few minutes, and then.
rushing at the ball, deliberately stepped
upon it with one of his front feet and
stood upon it until the water was all
squeezed out. Since then no water has
been put in the BALM. O. Times-Dem-
