FILIPINO IS GULLIBLE.
This Ia Shown by Some Not Very
Scaly Tricks of the YAM
I<ee Soldiers.

The native Filipino has the reputa-
ton of being the shrewdest among the
Asiatic races. Like the Parsee, he is
known as the Yankee of the orient,
says the Philadelphia Press.
He lost no opportunity to trim up
his occidental Yankee brother when
ever the opportunity presented itself,
but the American Yankee, and particu-
larly he of the Pennsylvania breed
usually gave him Roland for his Oliver
When the Pennsylvania left San Fran
cisco on their way 10 the Philippines
the Red Cross society gave each one of
them an aluminium badge the size and
shape of an American quarter, bearing
the name of his regiment, his company,
and his company number.
Shortly after their arrival in Manila
the officers of some of the companies
found these Identification badges in the
hands of the Filipino merchants, upon
whom the Pennsylvanians had imposed
them as quarter dollars in return for ar
ticles of barter.
Another trick of the Yankee soldier
was to take new copper penny, mill
the edges of it with file, polish the coin
till 1t shone like gold, and then pass 1t
upon the guileless and unsuspicious ma
tives as five-dollar gold piece.
The gullibility of the native in this re-
gard led some of the men to write home
for samples of confederate scrip, which,
when duly received, were put in circu-
lation among the yellow packets as
bona-fide American greenbacks, the ma
tives willingly accepting them as stand
ard paper money of the United States.

TIE CREVALLES.
Constantly Circiiug Fishes Mt the
Aquarium That the Children Call
the rry-Go-'Rounds."

Children looking at the crevalles in
their tank at the aquarium call them
the merry go-'round fishes, because
they are constantly circling around in
their tank, following one another like
the animals Of the merry-go-'rourd.
The crevallcs are singularly nervous
and sensitive, and they are always on
the ., says the New York Sun.
These crevalles have now been in cap
tivity more than year, which is per-
haps longer than any were ever kept be-
fore; certainly longer than any have
been kept in the aquarium, these being
the first TO be carried through winter,
which was made possible by the extern
sion OF the aquarium's warmed salt Wa
ter supply, so that some others than
tropical fishes could have the benefits
Of it. The crevalle goes south in WIN
ter, where. in some waters, it is a.bun-
dant. 1t does not come north in num-
bcrs every summer; its visits are ir-
regular. and sometimes there arc none
here worth mentioning for four or five
years; so that on the whole ii is rather a
rare fish in these waters. These speci-
mems were taken in Granvesend bay:
they have doubled in size and weight
since they were put into the tank.
Besides being nervous and sensitive
ard easily frightened fish the crevalle is
Il fish of beauty With its sides Of solid,

MILLET FOR SOILING.
4 Cror Furnishing Valuable Feed for
Dairy Cattic, Young stock.
Sheep and Poultry.

Millet, says bulletin of the agricul-
tural department just published. is fed
principally rs a lay and soiling crop.
The forage ranks we'll with that Of
other grasses in the nutritive content,
and its palataoility is about that OF the
average for the coarser sorts. For
dgcstibility, nillet forage compares fa-
vorably with that from other coarse
grasses.
Already widely grewn as hay crop.
miIlets deserve more general use for
soiling. They are particularly valuable
for feeding to dairy cattle, young stock
and sheep. There are many sections Of
the country where this crop can he
made to supplement the pastures in
such a way as to allow material in
crease in the number of stock that can
be kept on the farm.
On account OF The heavy yield of for
age and the good quality OF the product,
millets are excellent grasses for use in
the silo. Frequently Il good crop of mil
let can be raised under conditions which
would not admit of growing corn for en-
Stage, and in such instances it becomes
of especial valve. One of the best meth
DDS of preserving This crop is by the use
of the silo. Those who have tried this
method have obtained excellent results.
y fine quality of ensilage may be made
by using barnyard millet and legu-
minous crop like soy beans or clover,
The seed of the foXtail millets is widely
used as food for fowls and birds, but is
seldom fed to stock. 1t has, however,
been used in feeding young stock, such
as calves, with a fair degree of success.
The seed is excellent food for laying
hens.-Farmers' Voice.

THE HUNTING SEASON.
Hint. for Farmers who Know How
to Use Gun and Like Shoot
Ing in the Field.

The reliable rules for shooting
flying birds are as follows: Hold a
triHe low for bird apparently flying
straight away from the gun; hold just
above bird rapidly rising without side
motion; hold the same for bird going
straight away and close to the ground;
hold above the head of birds rising and
going to right and left; hold ahead OF
birds going straight to right and left;
hold ahead and below birds going to
right and left and lowering; hold dead
on an incomer (and give it to him
quickly; for every yard the closer the
smaller the spread of shot; hold ahead
of birds passing above you. Last, but
not least, never check the even swing
of the gun in quartering shot.
At a goose or duck passing overhead
prefer to first truly cover the mark
then advance the gun till only the tip OF
the birds bill is visible, or, when rather
high, till the muzzle leads its object by
the proper distance, and then instant
ly pull the trigger. When the gun has
to lead the bird in this position, no hes
itancy should be INDUCED in after the
muzzle has passed ahead of the bill, for
the shooter cannot then see his game.
and any sudden change of fight may
prove disastrous. This is Il shot al
which most men fail by shooting be-

GOOD CROP OF WHEAT.
Some Things That Cannot Be Neglect
ed If Profitable Results are
Expected.

One essential in growing good crop
of wheat is to have the soil prepared il
good filth. One advantage in blowing
early IS that better opportunity is of
fered of getting the soil into proper
condition for the seed. The under soil
should be fairly well packed, and the
surface, to the depth of four or i've
inches, prepared in fire lilth.
The disc and smoothing harrows are
good implements to use in preparing
the seed-bed.
When conditions will admit, reason
ably early seeding is best. But there
is no advantage in sowing the seed I'M
til the soil is in a good filth, and I'M
less there is sufficient moisture III the
soil to induce a good termination of
the seed. Of course, wheat as we'll as
many other kinds of grain will lie in
the ground when the soil is dry with
out terminating, and yet when rains
come to moisten up the ground the
seed will terminate. But there is risk
of loss, and lying in the ground weak
seed.
II IS best, therefore, to defer the seed
ing~until there is sufficient moisture.
Another item that may make it desir-
able to defer the seeding is the risk OF
injury from Hessian fly. Many good
farmers consider that if the seeding can
be put off until there is one good frost
the risk of injury from fly is greatly
lessened.
Another item in making a good crop
is to use good seed. For nearly all
crops seed should not only possess suf-
iicient vitality to terminate readily un-
der seasonably favorable conditions,
but to send forth vigorous, thrifty
plant.
Seed should be carefully selected, and
only the best be used. In sowing care
should be taken to distribute the seed
as evenly as possible over the surface.
One advantage in using drill is that
the seed is not only distributed more
evenly, but is covered at more uni
IOl III bC)lH'
Because wheat is low in price is the
strongest reason why all reasonable
care should be taken to secure a good
yield. a good yield may return small
profit, even at low price, while light
yield and low prices mean positive
loss.
The quantity of seed depends some
what upon the time of sowing, the
quality of the seed and the condition Of
the soil at the time of seeding. If sown-
in good season with the soil prepared
in good filth, five peclks to the acre will
be plenty. This quantity should be
increased as the quality of the seed
covers with late sowing and poor con-
dltions of the soil So with late SOW
ing and unfavorable conditions seven
pecks to the acre will not be too much.

NOBLE DEED OF A NEWSBOY.
Takes the Padding from His Crutcb
to Relieve the Distress
of Horse.

A small act of kindness sometimes
thrills the heart of the beholder, espe-
cially if the act is performed without
thought of observation and quite with
out the hope that it will be known and
applauded. y correspondent of the
Companion, a physician of Minneapo'
lis, has sent us-'not for publication, ,
he says, but simply that you may
know 1.-THE story of very touching
deed of humanity, which it surely will
do nothing but good to tell of.
In front of the Masonic temple, in
Minneapolis, in which building the ply
stefan has his office, little cripple is ac
customed TO sell newspapers. He is a
sufferer from infantile paralysis of 4
cerebral type, and also has hairlip.
He seems at a sad disadvantage in this
eager and bustling world.
The other day horse attached to an
ash-cart was standing on the street,
opposite where the crippled boy stood
on his crutch selling papers. Some
how, the boy discovered that the horse
had a CALLED shoulder.
AS the doctor watched him from his
window, the boy cast about for some
thing with which to relieve the poor
horse. Finding nothing else, he ripped
off from the top of his crutch the cloth
stuffed with felt which eased the crutc!
to his own armpit, and tied it with two
strings to the horses collar, so that it
would cover the place where the collar
bore upon the raw shoulder.
81 had just time" the doctor says, ito
see him finish the work and bobhle
away on his depleted crutch with a
haste that made me think he feared the
owner might catch him at it,"

RESTLESS ANIMALS.
They Arc Always Walking About in
Their Cages Because They
Need Exercise.

When you see the animals in the park
menageries pacing back and forth rest
lessly in their cages do not take it for
granted that the creatures are unhappy
or even disconnected. 1t may be that
the lion or the tiger or the polar bear
that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the wild
creatures are in, their native jungles
they are kept pretty busy hunting
food. Thus each day they walk many
miles, perhaps. In their narrow cages
in the parks they are plentifully sup
piled with food, but their brawny
bodies still demand a great AMOUNT of
exercise. Mile after mile is paced Off
daily by the uneasy creatures. Usually
they move with long, swinging stride,
but when meal time comes around then
the step quickens until, when the keep
err appears with is baskets of meat,
the tigers and lions and other animals
leap against their bars and growl and
whine and lash their tails. In fact, they
act like great, hungry boys do after
long days tramp if they find that sup
per is late.
