This the man tried to do, but he was
so heavy and clumsy that he could not
get up into the tree. He tried to do so
two or three times; and, failing. was as
tonished to see the Emperor stoop down
like one who is preparing to play leap
frog, and to hear him say, "Climb on
my back.
The gamekeeper mounted the En-
peror's back, alongside the trunk of the
oak; the Emperor Strengthened up, and
the gamekeeper was then able to reach
the nearest branch and lift himself up
into the tree. The result was that the
Emperor got his stag; but he has since
laughed IA great deal about the incident.
averrlng that his whole empire had
never weighed so heavily on his shout
ders as that gamekeeper weighed.

On an Ilmperor,s Back.

The Emperor of Germany is an en-
thusiastlc sportsman, and does not like.
as other hunters do not, TO see his game
get away. An incident which IA Ger
man paper records as of recent occur
renee shows that he is capable of waiv-
ing his dignity TO prevent that calam-
lily.
Last autumn the Emperor was hunt
ing ut Belleye. accompanied by his
head gamekeeper only. The Emperor
succeeded IN woundng Il superb stag,
which. after the shot, threw itself into
reedy pond where II was out of the
range of the Emperor's rifle There
was no boat with which to go out after
the animal.
In this predicament. the Emperor
looked about and saw a large oak tree
which overlooked the pond. aud from
which the stag might be shot. But ia,
Emperor's withered arm does not per
nit him TO climb trees. so he command
ed the gamekeeper TO shin the tire,
and shoot the stag.

Feed for Young Pigs.

The growth OF young animal Is the
main factor in the Increase of its
weight, and when the food Is both nj
trogenous and carbonaceous there Is a
greater gain than when the food IS
mostly carbonaceous. as when corn
alone Is used. At the Alabama exper-
iment station pigs pastured on nearly
matured cow peas, and supplied with
corn, made almost three times the gain
In live weight made by similar pigs fed
exclusively ON corn. Pigs also gained
more rapidly on ground COW peas and
corn than on corn alone. In effect a.2S
pounds Of the mixed food was equal to
sos pounds of ground corn. One pound
of corn meal. however, proved superior
to three pounds of sweet potatoes.

Need of beet Sugar Production.

Need OF Beet Sugar Production.
We have n home market for sugar
which will consume the product Oh at
least 100000 acres. The per capita
consumption of sugar is rapidly IN
creasing which. with the great increase
inpopulation, creates and insures con
stantly increasing demand. The pro-
duction of sugar beets at pront III
this country has been clearly demon
strated and has therefore ceased to be
an experiment The culture of the SUI
gar beet, when understood, is simple,
and does not require skilled labor.
Beets can be sent direct from the har-
vest field to the factory without FUR
Their preparation or storage. The cul-
ture of the sugar beet does not require
any considerable investment of capital
by the grower The implements re-
quired for the production of sugar
beets are simple and inexpensive as
compared to those required for the pro-
duction of wheat. Soil upon which
beets have been successfully raised Is
left In prime condition for other crops.
There is very large area of compare
lively low priced lands upon which SUI
gar beets can be successfully raised.
The profit to the grower is greater than
the average of other crops. -Four
months after the crop is planted 1t can
be harvested and at once converted
into money.-Exchange.

complete circle; but we cannot see but
one half of the circle. because the earth
cuts off our view. IL we were poised

due to the fact that the raindrops are

one color to our eyes. II may strike
you as strange thing. but II IL true,
that no two persons see the same bow.
That Is because no two persons can
possibly occupy the same position, and
thus reflections fall differently upon

A most curious and sluggish creature
is the tautawa, n nlne-inch lizard,
whose home is in New Zealand. The
little imitation saurlan has the reputa-
ton of being the LATEST creature ever
created. He is usually found clingng
to rocks or logs along the shores of riy-
ers and lakes, and has been known to
remain in one position perfectly mo.
tlonless for many months. How the
creature manages to exist Is a mystery.
A naturalist who has given many
years of study TO some of the smaller
forms of insect life has discovered that
certain sorts OF spiders are possessed of
organs for which there seems TO be no
use save TO create sound. They are
mostly used when the little creatures
are alarmed, although the opinion Is
held by some that this Is their means
OF calling 10 their mates. The alarm
idea, however has some support In the
case OF the rattlesnake, which Is pro.
yided with the means of making Its
presence known whenever an enemy
approaches. Whether the possession
of organs for creating sound Is design
ed merely as protection or warning Is
point to which naturallsts are giving
careful and enthusiastic attention.
at Is common TO hear people speak
about poisonous serpents. writes

Gus: they are yenomous. A poison can

feets; a venom can. Nenoms. 10 he eff

In which the snakes kill. Their venom
taken internally Is innOcuous. Another
popular error In the supposltlon that "A

the world provided with teeth and jaws
has so little power Of biting. The jaws
are not hinged. hut are attached ono

The cultivation of beans Is not difii-
cult, as they can be grown with the
same labor that is required for corn.
The harvesting of the crop is the objee-
ton. but there are now bean harvest
ers which save much of the labor for
merly done by hand. Care is also re-
oulred in storing the vines to prevent
injury, the threshing of the pods being
done late in the fall or in winter on the
barn floor, which work is performed by
bean thresher. an implement which
was unknown few years ago.

do this successfully. the currant bush
should be grown from a single eye cut
ting, which Is usually done with bot.
tom heat. Usually, in setting a cutting
or making layer, II number of buds
are buried under the soil. Each of these
makes It's independent growth and Is
really a separate plant. When bushes
come up around currant tree, the own
er should dig down to the parent root
and take up all of that which belongs
to the cutting. 1t is best only to leave
IA elump of roots at the base of the cut
ting. Trying to get more roots than
belong to plants is the main reason why
they sucker SO much as they do.

Tomato Diseases

A disease that attacks the tomato,
egg plant and potato is indicated by A
sudden whiting of the foliage, which
may occur on single shoot or the
whole plant may be affected, and usu-
ally destroys the plant. 1t progresses
more rapidly In young than In old
plants, and especially In very warm
weather. The woody tissue turns black
or brown. and with potatoes the tuber
is also attacked. dark ring being very
conspicuous In n section of the tuber.
An offensive soft rot follows the dark
discoloratiOn. The disease can be cas-
Ny spread by potato beetles, which at
tack also tomato and egg plants. The
remedy Is to destroy the beetles as rap
Idly as they appear and burn all tops

The Horse,s Power of Scent.

There is one perception which a
horse possesses to which little atten-
ton has been paid, says a prominent
horseman, and that Is the power or
scent With some horses 1t Is acute,
as with the dog. and for the benefit
of those who drive at night such as
physicians and others, this knowledge
is Invaluable. never knew 1t to fall,
and | have ridden hundreds of miles
OF dark nights, and In consideration Of
this power of scent this is my simple
advice: Never check your horse at
night. but give him free head, and
you may rest assured that he will never
get off the road, and he will carry you
safely and expeditiously. In regard to
the power of scent In a horse. | once
knew one of pair that was stolen and
recovered mainly by the track being
. made out by his mate. and that after
he had been absent six or eight hours.

Handling Bees.
When handling bees the absence of
fear and quiet treatment are essential
to success.
Never strike at bee.
Never move a comb hastily, nor hold
a new comb horizontally; If you do 1t
will probably break and fall.
Blow little smoke into the en-
trance; after a minute or so while the
bees are gorging themselves with
honey and so lessening their lnclina-
ton to sting, take off the top and
blow little into the hive at each
end.
Lift the quilt gently and opening part
only of the hive; the carbolic cloth Is
very useful on the top besides little
smoke below.
Never open a hive in cold or rainy
weather.
In cold districts, before winter, make
the bees snug with quilts and adjust
ment of the dividing boards.
Don't breathe on the bees, or brush
the combs upwards.
If stung when manipulating pull out
the sting and put little honey on the
wound.
If you have no real liking for the
bees, do not attempt to keep them for
profit
Bees are the most pesky things about
a farm; and although they do not in
volve laborious work they demand pc
culiar attention.
DO not keep many bees In places
where they must depend mainly on or
chard trees and garden flowers for food
supplies.
IL you are nervous, or II you have
not plenty of native fora to hand, do
not handle bees at all.
