Bird md Insect Race,

It has been supposed that the swal.
low is more rapid in its flight than
almost any winged creature, but the
dragonay easily toutwings it. An OBJ
server of insect life relates an account
of a chase between a swallow and an
immense dragonfy, in which the con-
test lasted a long time. The swallow
evidently had hopes of catching the
insect, but finally. after a long cam
paign, gave it up and let the fly es
cape It has been claimed that the
dragonfiy was such voracious devour-
er of mosquitoes that these small pests
were thrown into a panic if dragon
e. approached them. It was even de-
clared that fly confined in a room
would speedily clear it of mosquitoes
but repeated experiments failed e sub
stantiate this claim

CHAPTER VII.
A SINGED PATRIOT.

After being driven from one street to an
other by the scorching of the advancing
flames, finally turned into an alley and
stood partly protected against the baking
radiation by the corner of building.
BetwiNt the heat of the day, the fire, the
smoke, and my fruitess exertions, was as
wet as though fresh from the river, as black
as a coal burner, and not in the fairest of
humors. My coat and hat (my best ones,
too) were burned by falling embers, and the
sword l had forgotten to put off was hot to
the touch and bothered my legs exceedingly.
My eyes burned as though peppered and
the roar of the mad element, the falling of
walls, the crashing of breaking timbers were
at times well-nigh deafening. Blasting hot
draughts drove down the way, and sutfo-
eating pail of smoke swept through the
street as though pushed from behind by
whirlwind. Nothing was visible ten PAGES
off, and why remained where was use
less, and where my situation was becoming
as dangerous as it was unbearable, can no.
wise account for, save that was ruled by
fate against which no man need combat.
I was about stepping from the mouth of
the blind alley in which had been standing,

SaIted Down alive VEAL"

A Jefferson county farmer hired a
very inexperienced boy of the reforma-
tory to help around the place. One
morning he told the lad to go and salt
the calf in the pasture. The boy took
about quart of salt, rubbing it all over
the calf, working it into the hair. A
gang of colts in the pasture scented the
salt and got after the calf. They licked
the hair all off the calf's back, and tried
to lick the hide off, too. The farmer
tried to catch the calf and wash it off.
but the creature, thinking he wanted to
lick, too, kept out of the way. The boy,
calf and farmer are all unhappy. The
colts are the only ones that get any fun
out of it.-Denver Field and Farm.

The Curing of Cheese

At the New York state dairy meeting
Prof. II. Fl. Dean, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college, said that cheese is
only about half made when on the cur
ing shelf. Curing is ferncnting proc
ess, and the temptation is to hurry it
too much. He advised taking sufficient
time to ripen it properly, and this
could be done only by the control of
heat. He would locate the curing room
on the north side of the building, and
away from drains or sources of bad
odors. It should be entirely insulated.
He would construct the floors and walls
so as to have an air space all around it.
and provide it with double windows and
doors. The cost of building a room of
this kind would be from S12O to $3.50, &C
cording to size.

ENs1LAGE-FED cows
Without Them Winter Dnirying Can
not he Made n Success Any -
where Nowadays.

Those who raise ensilage-fed herds
invariably have decided advantage
over the farmer who confines his atten-
ton entirely to dry fodder and grain.
But on the other hand, there are farm
ers who do not make the ensilage sue.
cess because of lack of proper study OF
economy in feeding or generally poor
management of the whole dairy farm.
The comparison of such man with
tirst-class dairyman who believed in dry
fodder and grain is not fair. There are
plenty of good farmers to-day making
success with herds that are fed en-
tirely on dry fodder, cornmeal, bran
and similar grains. They are too con-
sentative to take up the silo, or they are
willing to let well enough alone. But
because they make a success in their
present work it does not follow that
they would not make even more profits
by adopting the silo. Let such progress
sive farmers give the silo all the care
and attention they give to their present
system of feeding, and if they fail they
might be justified in casting discredit
upon-the silo.
1t is practical to raise all the ensilage
needed for feeding dairy herd of al
most any size, and then if the silo is
properly filled the results will be more
than satisfactory. We are certainly
coming to the time when every dairy
farm of 20 or more cows will have It's
silo, and it will be an exception to the
rule not to find one on farm. 1t is on
par with our present systems of cold
storage for preserving food in the
cities for the human race. We find that
this not only adds to the pleasures of
eating, but it improves the health of the
nation to have green things right
through the winter and summer
months. We should in the same way
consider the cows on whose health and
good flow of milk SO many of us are de-
pendent. Winter dairying can never be
carried on as it should until the silo is
built and filled. Now is the time to con.
slider and prepare for next winter if
the herd is expected to give the results
desired. There is no easier way to in
crease the winter supply of milk than
to have and feed plenty of ensilage.-E.
P. Smith, in American Cultivator.

Value of an HOnOred Trade Name Up
held by the United state
Circuit Court.

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
Francisco, has just won legal victory
which is of utmost public interest, as it
establishes judicially q fact long recog-
nized officially that the name or the
title of an article is valuable property,
entitled to the same protection as chat
tells or commercial paper. The COM
pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired valu-
able reputation under the name Syrup
of Figs" or Gig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matter in the United States
courts and obtained permanent in
junction, Of which the following is the
text:

the word to take the bit and be off. Rusty
she was, and foul besides, but, rusty and foul,
she could outpont half MS majesty's heavy

as would have done to my lady had !. one,
swearing to give the word ere that day fort

How little I knew we would both be well
tried by then!
waved my hand TO her and turned to 20,
when my eye caught huge coil of black
smoke rising from near the rivers edge far
down the city. That it was fire on shore
made out at glance, nor did give it more
than passing notice until, on entering the
srreets again, became aware of the con-
course pouring in that direction. Soldiers
by companies, disarmed and bearing buckets,
were hurrying toward the confagration, but
not until reaching the Kings Arms and as
cending to the fine cupola that surmounted
it did know that the fire was of vast ex-
tent. And even as looked it spread from
house to house, threatening to assume the
proportions of the great scourge of two years
before.
Now with interest we'll sharpened I made
be of use-a thing not so easy to do, owing
tc the press of mass of people who stood
about useless and curious, watching the play
of the great sheets of flame, and giving ex-
ercise to their voices when their hands might
have been of better service.
I soon saw, however, that there was no
organized effort to suppress the flames. and
without order my arm was no better than
the weakest. But of this second mighty fire
in New York, in which upward of three
hundred buildings were destroyed, have lit
tie to do. Looking back from these later
days (for I am an old man now, it seems as
though the smoke had beckoned me to its
source that I might take my next step in the
quickening drama of my life, the plot of
which was to lead me through travail, and
bloodshed, that in the end I might be fitted
to enjoy the great happiness it has been the
will of God to vouchsafe me.

when the figure of a man sped out of the
smoke and dashed against and then passed
me, Keeling from the blow and staggering
into the recess behind.
Slight as he was, the speed at which he
had been going nearly took me off my legs,
and had barely recovered my balance when
dozen armed soldiers ran by, shouting and
swearing, as though in chase. With the last
ci my stock of patience exhausted, l turned
on the fellow who had run into me, and
found him at the end of the cul-de-sac, with
lis back to the wall, and two blackened
fists held up as if to defend himself to the
last.
Conceiving that I had caught thief, a
ransacker of deserted houses, if not an in
cendiary, l clnched him by the collar to
drag him forth for delivery to his pursuers,
hut the fellow dealt me so smart blow in
the face that for a second it caused me to see
lights.
1 was in the mood to cuff him into insen-
sibility, and might have done so had he not
spoken, or rather gasped:
"'Fore God, thought you redcoat, and
tried to vex you into killing me! you have
the heart of a man, do not deliver me to them
asain."
WHO are you?" demanded, loosening my
hold and trying to get at his features through
the black that covered them, though made
out no more than that part of his face was
overgrown by young beard well singed, the
rest being so grimed that he might have worn
a mask and been no safer from recognition.
''On your mercy, them" he answered; IAN

From where"
"The den lies in the heart OF the fire by
this" And rolling up his eyes, the whites
of which showed pitifully against his burned
skin, he hesitated and then broke out again:
.'What is it to you who or what ] am? If
you love justice or hope for it yourself, let

Come, then," said I, softened more by his
TANNER than his worlds, eve will roast here

So, taking him by the arm, l led him into the
street, where the smoke was so dense that
it became necessary to grope ones way.

But mad no sooner brought him to where

rods in advance than he held back, darling
his glances in every direction as though in
fear of detection. Hat l not kept close

NUTRITION IN FRUITS.

Pears are not as nutritious as many
other fruits.
In the chapter on fruit the apple is
accorded first place.
The cherry is tough and is considered
a bad fruit.
P1ums are delicious and wholesome,
but the skin must not be swallowed.
Raspberrics, blackberries, dewber-
ries, elderberries and blueberries diff
fer from other fruit in that they are
astringent.
Grapes are of great value in some
diseases, but the statement that they
contain the same element as the blood
is nonsense.
The gooseberry has nothing to recon-
mend it. On the other hand, the null
berry is exceedingly wholesome, be-
cause Of the potash it contains.-What

FOREST RESERVES.
Outline of system Which Would
Give Direct and Indirect BEN
efitx to Agriculture.

If we admit that forestry is profitable
it is desirable to develop the best plan
of forest reservation, system which
would at the same time insure the per-
sonal interest in the forests themselves
by the people of the district and all the
direct and indirect benefits to agricul-
ture which the forest could give.
Were it desirable to reserve one-half
of the good tillable land in forests, then
with homesteads of q quarter section
each the reservation of alternate 40
acres would enable the forests to most
completely protect the farming lands
and at the same time place the wooded

One bit of dietetical gossip may we'll

child-world and among some hundreds
of millions of grown-ups. After ex-
pertinent and observation in the Ger
man army, sugar has been officially
recommended as a part of the food of
soldiers. 1t not only helps to increase
their weight, but during long marches
it diminishes hunger and thirst, and
wards off the effect of heat and ex-
haustion. Nevertheless, there are med
ical writers of high authority who ad-
wise against the use of manufactured
sugar, and suggest that we take our
necessary share of saccharine matter
in those combinations which are fur
nished by natures own laboratory,
such as dates, figs, raisins, etc.
