give room to. If any one has lost
any bears that is the location to
find them.
This intersound region IS di-
vided Into alternating areas Of
swamp, cornGeld and prairie, or
savanna, with here and there a
lake or an apple orchard thrown
in, and the bears trade from one
to the other, according to The
season Of the year, or as they
have opportunity. These saVan-
mas are used almost universally
as cattle ranges, and there baVe
been at times large stock COM

hard Winters, which happen
periodically, the havoc among
the herds has been so great that
stringent measures have been
employed to exterminate the
ursine depredators.
Spring guns, traps, deadfalls,
poison, side-hunts and drives
have been put into active use,
and scores Of carcasses have been
gathered in. Still tie slaughter
continued among the cattle, and

| hay grown expressly for the purpose
with the aid of different manures sepa-
rately and in combination. The expert
| ment, it will be remembered, commenced
on pasture land, and with the object Of
broadening its scope and rendering 1t
additionally reliable it was decided that
for the second trial ordinary rotation
crops should be utilized. Instead of be-
ing grazed, therefore, the experimental
lots of sheep in this latter case were
penned in an airy shed and the allotted
materials served to them in the ordinary
manner Of handfeeding. AS indicated,
yellow turnips, oats and hay We're the
articles employed, and the food Of each
lot of sheep was produced by The aid OF
certain manural dressing.
The relative progress of the different
lots, as measured by their gain III live
weight, seemed to leave little room for
doubt as to the unequal effects which the
various substances exert on the quality
of the crops. The food which produced
the largest increase of live weight per
given quantity was that grown by the
aid of bone meal. Superphosphate alone
came next, the return being slightly less
when q moderate amount of sulphate OF
ammonia or nitrate of soda was added,
and smaller still when the dressing Of
heterogeneous manure was doubled.
Though the nitrogen had the apparent
effect of depressing the nutritive proper
ties Of the crops, however, this result was
more than atoned for by the larger yield
Ority of the bone meal foods was not
sufficient to compensate for the small
yields. Quantity and quality of crop
both considered, superphosphate, nitrate
of soda and kainit formed the most effect
ual manure.-LOndon Post.
