Hyenas FOUGHT to the Death.

Kakim aud Kekker lived together in
amity for fourteen years. Then they
fell out on the question of food, and
now Kekker is in the hospital and
Knkim ought to be there.
They are hyenas in the Philadelphia
Zoo. Hyenas are always hungry, so
those who make study OF the inter
esting animals say. These, though
imported direct from Africa at o cost
of $500 each, had all the hunger OF
their kind, and the other morning,
when Kakim managed to gnlp his own
food down in amazingly short time, he
turned his attention to his comrade =.
Then began fight which is described
as the tiercest, loudest, and most
bloody that the Zoo has ever seen.
The combatants were separated be-
fore they ha quite killed each other,
but authorities ON hyenas say that
they would resume it Immediately
were they ever put together again. 4

The Coconnut as Vegetable Food.

In its life-supporting qualities the
cocoanut is qnitc equal to the best of
other vegetable products that have
been ranked above it, and although
these nutritive qualities are admitted,
the amount of nutrition derived is
much greater than is generally sup
posed. As an example, we may refer
to the account that has been pub
lished of vessel which left San
Francisco with four hundred passen-
gers for Sydney. Running short Of
stores, they were obliged TO put in Mt
port, where large quantity Of cocoa
nuts were obtained. The remainder
of the passage was attended with
heavy weather, and the vessel became
water-logged, only reaching Sydney
after a perilous voyage of eighty days
Owing to the extreme length OF the
voyage, their provisions ran out, and
men, women and children were re-
duced to an exclusive diet of cocoanut,
and owing to the scarcity of these, the
quantity apportioned was in the pro-
portion of one cocoanut to each adult.
Notwithstanding this diet, wholly un-
relieved by any change, not life was
lost, and not a single case of illness
occurred, all the passengers landing
in healthy and well-nourished con-
ditiou.

The Black Rot of the Cabbage.

Farmers Bulletin, No. 6S, has Just
been published by the Department of
Agriculture giving to cabbage growers
the benefit OF some recent discoveries
by the Division of Vegetable Physio.
logy and Pathology of the United
States Department of Agriculture on
the black rot of the cabbage. The
author of this bulletin is Mr.. Erwin +.
Smith, under whose immediate SUPER
vision the Investigations were made
which resulted in these discoveries.
Although this disease has come into
prominence only within the last few
years, it is now serious hindrance to
cabbage growing in several States,
causing losses to the growers aggre-
eating many thousands cf dollars
yearly.
The disease is known to growers in
various parts of the country under
different names, perhaps the common
est of which are ''stem rot" aud
''blacii rot, and has heretofore resisted
oil attempts to eradicate it.
As there is no known way of curing
the disease o. OF entirely r:lding u
locality OF it when once established, =,
prevention is the only alternative, and
the bulletin points out to the grower
where the danger lies, how the intro.
duction OF the disease may often be
prevented, and how, when already
introduced, great losses may some
times be avoided. Farm, Field and

Hawthornc's Yenr Story,

In "Hawthornes First Diary" be-
gun at his home in Raymond, Maine,
when he was small boy, he tells n
bear story, which is vouched for by
his editor. Hawthorne gives it as
follows:
Mr.. Henry Turner of Otisfield took
his axe and went out between Saturday
and Moose ponds, to look at some
pine trees. A rain had just taken off
enough of the snow to lay bare the
roots Of a part of the trees. Under a
large root there seemed to be cavity,
and on examining closely, something
was exposed very much like long black
hair.
He cut off the root, saw the nose Of
bear, and killed him, pulled out the
body, saw another, killed that, and
dragged out the carcass, when he
found that there was third one in
the den, and that he was thoroughly
awake, too; but as soon as the head
came in sight, it was split open with
the axe, so that Mr.. Turner alone, with
only an axe, killed three bears in less
than half an hour, the youngest being
n good-sized one, and what the hunters
call a yearling.
This is pretty good bear story, but
probably true, and happened only a
few weeks ago; for John Patch, who
was here with his father, Capt. Len
Patch, who lives within two miles of
Saturday pond, told me so.

Irenlsing Young Colts.

must thereafter do. The colt should
always be halter broken the first sum

the first time he has harness on, put
the colt beside an old, well-broken

one or two drives without anything

him through drifts, rs many n young

sleigh is that it cannot be heavy
burden and it makes no noise. BY
the time the sleighing is gone hitch
the colt beside an old horse and let
him pull part of a wagon. If care is
taken so that the driver always keeps
master, the colt will be by spring time
as docile as any old trained horse can
be.-Boston Cultivator.

Selling Old Falao Teeth.

customers in this little shop are young

Wheat For Yonnr PIGS.

Wheat is now higher than it has
been for several years, and too dear TO
feed to grown animals of any kind.
Yet we think small amount fed daily
to young and growing pigs will pay
even at present prices. 1t will prob
ably pay to feed wheat to all pigs, in
part to replace the corn ration that is
always injurious. Wheat contains
more nearly the elements of growth
than any other grain except peas or
beans, and only sheep can be induced
to eat whole beans. Wheat bran and
wheat middlings cost nearly as much
as wheat, and are not so good for
feeding purposes il given in modera-

''What's the matter?" he asked.
"Oh" said Kittie, again, II was

"Oh, yes. A great horrid, ugly

the man might hurt him, but Jack
said stoutly:
''He might be after the chickens or
the new calf, and l must look after
things when father is not here. I'll
take Towser."
He whistled to Towser, and ran off
to the cornfield. Kittie was afraid to
stay alone, and so she followed him,
but at safe distance. Baby Dick
trotted at her heels. Just as they
were getting under the fence they
heard ringing shout from Jack, who
was in the middle of the field; and
when they came in sight, they fonnd

"Oh, Kit, you goose!" he cried.

"Why," said Baby Dick, she's

'Yes, that's what he is" said Jack.

Sheep Losing Their Wool.

When sheep lose their wool it is A
sign that they are feverish. This
condition is nearly always an indica.
tion that the digestive organs are i'm.
paired. Old sheep that have begun
to lose their teeth are especially liable
to be affected in this way. 1t is mostly
caused by hard, dry food, though the
indigestion may be due to surseit of
grain. Some succulent food, such as
bran mash, fed warm, is good so
are roots of any kind, if they are
sliced so that the sheep can easily eat
them. The sheep is a ruminant, and
If the roots are in slices, though they
may go down in hard Jumps, they will
come up in the mouth and be there
thoroughly remasticated. Unless you
mean to give special care to the sheep
that begin to lose their wool, it is
better economy to kill them at once
and sell their hides for the little they
will bring. Those on which the wool
is stripped from most of the belly will
probably die before spring, whatever
care you can give them. All sheep
old enough to be unsafe to winter
should be separated at shearing time,
and fattened for killing during the
summer, when the fattening is easy,
because the sheep eau then find plenty
OF succulent Easturage.

The Importance of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is

In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such record Of cures as Hoods
