PRAIRIE DOG WELLS.
The Little Animals Bore Down to the
Water Line.

Water Line.
Washington Star: THE most inter-
esting thing 1 have seen in many a
day." said Harvey Geer Of Lamont,
Colo, was the prairie dog well. Did
you ever see one? 1t isn't often that a
chance occurs to explore the homes and
haunts of these expeditions little inhab-
itants of the plains. A few miles from
my town a large force of men has
been at work this summer making a
deep cut for short railroad up into
the mines.s A friend of mine is in
charge of the job, and 1 went out a
week ago to see him and the work
that had been done. The first thing
that attracted my attention when L
got there was the fact that the cut
was being made through an old alfalfa
field, and the roots fringed the sides
of the cut and hung down Is to IS
feet. Up at the surface of the ground
were the stubbed green plants and
reaching down deep into the earth were
the fat, businesslike roots, getting
their living far below where ordinary
plants forage for subsistence.
But the most remarkable thing was
the prairie dog wells that had been
dug into. The cut went through a dog
village, and being deep one-some 40
feet-it went below the town. There
has always been discussion about
where the prairie dog gets his drink.
Some say he goes eternally dry and
does not know what it is to have an
elegant thirst on him. Usually their
towns are miles from any stream and
in an arid country where there is no
surface water at any time sufficient for
the needs of an animal requiring drink
The overland travellers back in the days
of pioneering used to find the dog towns
out on the prairie scores of miles from
the streams There was no dew. the
air was dry as a bone, the buffalo grass
would be parched brown and there
would be absolutely nothing to quench
thirst. l remember a discussion begun
80 years ago in the American Natural
ist by DR.. Sternberg, now surgeon gen
eral, on the subject, and he argued in
favor of the well theory. But there
near Lamont is ocular proof of the
well theory. The nest holes of the
dogs were five or six feet deep, but
four or five holes went straight down
as deep as the excavation had been
made and evidently on into the water
carrying sand beneath. These holes APP
peared to be used by the whole col
Ony commonly, and were a little larger
than the holes used for their homes"

Just to see those witching ladies,
Those witching, witching ladies, where
the orange blossoms blow:
With their dainty cigarillas,
And their quite too sweet mantillas-
On, to Cadiz. with its ladies, l will go.
And when our guns were booming,
With p pity quito consuming
/ would say, rOh, charming ladies. please
10 hustle now aboard;
For although we humble Cadiz
We don't war against the ladies.
And the ladies of old Cadiz need not fear
the Yankee sword
And with their cigarilas,
And their all too cute mantillas,
| would load up every cruiser with this
fascinating crew;
And so by easy stages
would bring these fair hostages,
All these ladies of old Cadiz far across
the ocean blue.

TURNIP EXPERIMENT.
1t May Throw Some Light on n Subject
That Has Been Discussed for
Long Time.

The opinion that buckwheat is bad
crop to precede turnips is very gen
orally held by the farming community,
some farmers going so far as to say
that it acts as a poison not only to
turnips, but to other crops. The fol-
lowing experiment may throw some
light upon the SUBJECT:
A piece of land that had already pro-
duced turnips was divided, one half
being sewn to buckwheat, the other
being fallowed. When the buckwheat
was ripening it was cut, passed through
a feed-cutter, the chopped stuff re-
turned to the soil from which it was
cut, and then turned under. In a
short time stand of young buck
wheat appeared and was allowed to
grow a few inches. Both plots were
then spaded and sown to turnips. In
every respect, save the growing of the
buckwheat upon one of them, the two
plots were treated alike.
When the crop was harvested the
salable roots upon the buckwheat plot
weighed more than four times as much
as the salable roots upon the fallowed
plot. The salable roots were much
more numerous and smaller upon the
fallowed plot.-M. G. Kains. in Farm
and Fireside.

FAVEROLLE FOWL.

introduced males of these breeds to
cross with the Houdan. From these
crosses, without any especial method,
the present Faverolle was developed,
in much the same manner that the
Rhode Island Red has been developed
in our own country. The various
types of the Faverolle vary consider
ably, some showing decided Cochin or
Brahma characteristics in gait and
build, also the black notified plumage
of the Houdan. See cut.
The distinctive point of the Faverolle
is the size as compared with other
French breeds, together with the
amount and delicacy of the flesh,
which makes the poultry from this
vicinity especially esteemed in the
large markets of France. 1t is regard
ed for table purposes as superior to
the Houdan, having greater size, ra pid-
ity Of growth, and tendency to fatten,
besides. possessing the fine flavor for
which the Houdan is noted. The
Faverolle is an excellent layer and has
been recommended as good variety
to keep for profitable egg production.
The chickens are exceptionally hardy
as compared with other French
breeds, an advantage which breed
ers have come to appreciate. Very
few growers in this country keep
the Faverolle. but it has been intro
duced to considerable extent into
England, where it is quite well liked

NEVER CARES TO WANDER.
The Honey Dee Does Not Like to Go
More Than Five Miles After
Raw Material.

The range of the honey bee is but
little understood by the masses, many
supposing that bees go for miles in
search of nectar, while others think
that they go only short distance. 1t
may be curious to many to understand
how anyone can tell how far the bees
may fly, but this, is simple when under
stood. Years ago, when the italian
bees were first introduced in the
United States, these bees, having
marks different from the common bees
already here, were easily distin-
guished, and after any beekeeper had
obtained the Italian bees they could
be observed and their range easily no.
ticed. If bloom is plentiful near where
bees are located, they will not 60 very
far, perhaps a mile in range, but II
bloom is scarce they may go five miles.
Usually about three miles is as far
as they may 60 profitably.
Bees have been known to go as far
as eight miles in straight line, cross
ing body of water that distance to
land. It is wonderful how the little
honey bee can go so far from it's home
and ever find its way back to it's own
particular hive. If, while the little
bee is out of it's home, or hive, the
hive should be removed some ten or
twenty feet, according to the sur
roundings, when it came back to where
it's home was first located it would
be hopelessly lost. Msits home were
in an open space, with no other objects
close, it might find it's way home, but,
even should the hive be moved only
a few feet, many of the bees would
get lost.
So to move hive, if done in the
winter time, it would be all right, but
if in the summer time it should be
done after dark, or when the bees are
not flying. and even then the bees
should be stirred up some, and smoke
blown in at the hive entrance and
board or some object placed in front
of the hive so that the bees in coming
out may mark their new location.
Bees, no doubt. are guided by sight,
and also by sense of smell. They are
attracted by the color of bloom, as,
if they are at work on a certain kind
Of bloom, they are not likely to leave
that particular kind of bloom for any
otheEas long as they can find that kind.
Again bees are often attracted to
sweets by their sense of smell, for
they will go after sweets, even
if in the dark if close. How
ever, any kind of sweets may be
placed in glass in plain sight, but if
covered, so as not to emit any smell,
the bees will take no notice o. them

THE HORSE BUSINESS.
Supply of Good Animals Cannot h
Too Excessive for Several
..r.,s E Yearx to Come.

Horse buyers everywhere report
that good drivers are getting scarce.
A buyer who has been all over one of
the principal horse-breeding coun-
ties of western Pennsylvania says that
he does not know of half dozen
horses in that county that would make
good drivers even with proper hand
ling. People in that section are get
ting driving horses from Kentucky,
and work horses from the west. This
county formerly sent out several hun
dred streeters and drivers every year,
instead of importing them, as now.
The farmers have quit breeding horses
to a large extent have SO crossed
their breeding stock that there are
few mares that will produce good
horses of any particular kind except
workers. This is not an exceptional
locality by any means. Good brood
mares, whether light harness or
heavy draft, are getting scarce, and
the supply of good horses cannot be
excessive for years to CONGREGATIONAL
