nothing stands between the managers

EDITOR EVENING TELEGRAM.
DEAR SIR:-I have the pleasure to
hand you herewith list of names OF
men who enlisted in the army in the
war of the rebellion who were natives
or residents Of the Old Town of Barre
at the time of their enlistment. 1t is
the desire of His Honor, the Mayor,
that this list be published a sufficient
length of time so that it may be brought
to the notice of everyone, and the public
are requested to make such corrections
as they may discover, or such additions
to the list as may be necessary. 1t is
the desire of all that this list should be
absolutely correct. Much time and
care has been expended on this list by
three old soldiers as natives of Barre.
viz: Albert f. Dodge, John w. Averill
and Nathan Harrington, and much
credit is due them for their work. but
all men err, and so we thus publicly
invite criticism. If parties having
friends who have been old citizens now
living at a distance will send copies of
this paper to them for inspection it will
aid greatly in the accomplishment of
the work. Any suggestion will be
gratefully received by

Profit In Thinning Fruit.

The practicability of thinning fruit
and its feasibility from a commercial
standpoint have been pretty well dem
onstrated in the last few years. In
western New York it has generally
proved profitable wherever tried. Mr..
John Craig reports, in the publications
of the (Canadian) central experimental
farm, some results in thinning peaches
and plums which corroborate the notes
given from Mr.. Beach and others. He
concludes that, when a large crop of
fruit is set, thinning peaches is highly
remunerative for the following rea-
sons: () Itincreases the weight of the
yield, (2) 1t largely increases the size
of the fruit. (3) 1t reduces the num-
Der of matured seeds, thereby consid-
erably lessening the drain on the vital
ity of the tree. (4) 1t renders the crop
less liable to rot. Thinning plums like
wise proved altogether worth while.

Posts in sandy Soil.

There is great difference in the
durability of different kinds of posts
and also in the soil where they are
placed. Contrary to the general inn
preston, a sandy or gravelly soil,
which is usually dry, is much more Ii
able TO rot our posts than one which is
always wet. In the dry soil there are
frequent changes from wet to dry, by
which more air is brought in contact
with the wood and this introduces the
germs of decay. In an always wet soil
the water is probably stugnant and con-
tains little air. Oxygen is necessary to
all decomposition. An old farmer who
had owned both sandy farms and those
that had clay subsoil once told us
that posts on the sand had to be re-
moved more than twice on clay subsoil.

at the very sight of them), and kept
the hens from laying for whole week.
But there was one animal around the
place they could not get the best of.
This was an old ram, and the cubs
simply would keep biting his legs to
see what they were made of. So one
day the ram turned on the cubs and
gave one of them injuries from which
he afterwards died. Poor little chap.
The hunter had him stuffed, but his
brother the next day tried to play with
him, and when he got through there
was not much left but stutfing.
After that the cub that was left
played with the puppies, but he was
getting too much for them. The hunt
er thought about this time that he
was big enough to have a name, so he
called him Cats" and he soon got to
know it. Cats now turned his atten
ton to fox terrier who up to this time
would not associate with him, but sud
den leap on doggie's back and a sharp
nip made doggie know that Cats was
now of some importance.
Until now Cats had not had anything
to eat but milk, and he thought it was
about time for live food. One day his
owner saw him following chicken
with that 1.-THE crouch seen so often in
a cat that is after bird, and before he
could stop it Cats had sprang upon tho
poor fowls back. The scared fowl ran
clear around the barnyard, carrying
Cats on its back, before it was bitten

was not allowed, though, to eat the
first kill that he had made. The owner
still thought that milk was plenty good
enough for him, but when. he found
that Cats was catching lizards and eat
ing them on the sly, he thought it best
| to give him some cooked meat.
This would not do, for Cats was long
ing to kill something. He would not
touch the milk or the cooked meat, and
to keep him from starving his owner
had to let him have live fowl every
day. This Cats would catch and kill
| himself, tearing out the feathers with
his teeth and quickly getting it ready to
eat. lie would growl and snarl over his
meal and look ever so fierce, and if any
one came near him he would take his
fowl in his mouth and strike out saw
agely on both sides with his little paws,
which, by the way, had sharp enough
claws in them, as the hunter often
found to his sorrow.
| When he had finished his meal he
would come to his master, who would
carefully wash his paws, and would be
good for another whole day.
| Cats is now grown up and in Europe,
where he is just about to appear before
the public as performer of most won
derful tricks.

FIERCE CAMEL FIGHT.
BIT Each other Like Wolves md n
Dozen Men Worked Hard to
Separate Them.

Description by an English traveller
of a fight between camels at the court
of an Indian prince:
1.-Two camels were brought into the
grounds at the back of the palace and
made to face one another. They were
male animals, whose vicious tendencies
had made it necessary for them to be
kept from the rest of the cattle and who
had been carefully fed in the chieftain's
fighting stock as being especially pow
erful animals.
''At signal from the prince the crea-
lures were let loose and shambled to-
ward each other. At first they merely
feinted and sllirmished about in clum-
sy fashion, their long, awkward legs an
irresistibly ludicrous sight. Presently
they began TO foam at the mouth, their
faces became contorted with fury, and
sort of fencing match took place.
Their heads darted from side to side,
and they strove to seize each other with
their teeth. They groaned and roared
furiously, and the spectators were soon
worked up to high pitch of excite
ment.
''At length one camel seized his enc
my by the leg, while the other, large,
long-haired animal, retaliated by laying
hold of his opponents ear. Blood flowed
freely, and opinion was divided as to
which camel would be the victor.
''At last the long-haired camel, whose
grip on his adversary's ear was not very
firm, suddenly let go, but the other con-
tinued to hold on to his antagonists leg
and even to drag him about, roaring
with pain.
1.-The prince eventually gave the order
to separate the combatants, but it re-
quired the efforts of nearly dozen men
with ropes, chains and cudgels to put
an end to the affray. Even then the
wound on the leg of the vanquished
camel was so serious that believe the
poor creature was crippled for months >

The DnIrX Tyne Cow.

Careful experiments show that the
dairy type COW yields on an average
$500 pounds of milk yearly, while the
COW with beef heredity and tendency
yields 4,5OO pounds under similar con-
ditions. When milk brings a dollar a
hundred, as is now the case, the net
income from the butter from the dairy
COW, whose milk averages four per
cent. fat, is s45, while that from the
COW of beef type and whose milk only
averages IS per cent, fat, is only $27.
The feeding value of the skim milk
giving four per cent. butter is worth
one-seventh more per pound than is the
milk containing 35 per cent. Adding
the actual value of skim milk of each
cow to the net returns for butter we
get from the dairy cows $55 and from
the other $33.-Farm, Stock and Home.

The four carrier wheels are bolted in
pairs to the blocks, c, c, which run close
to the track to prevent the wheels jump

that the wheels will turn curve in the

THE STORY OF CATS.
How n Hunter in Parkway Africa
Caught and Tanned Bnby
Leopard.

There were three of the baby leop-
ards, little spotted things about a week
old, when Hunter Il. II. Summers found
them in thick forest in Africa. AS he
stumbled upon them, relates the Wide
World, he heard an angry growl, and,
turning, saw the mother leopard not
six feet away, getting ready to spring,
its head on its paws and its eyes blaz'
ing. Knowing that seconds hesita'
ton might cost him his life, he fired,
but the wound only made the wild beast
angry, and it sprang at him. He jumped
to one side, and as the brute rose to
make second spring he placed the
muzzle of his gun almost against its
head. This time, luckily for him, he
succeeded in killing the big animal.
Then he turned to look after the
baby leopards. They were about the
size then of three-montns-old kitten
One of these had been injured in some
way, so that the hunter thought best
to kill it, and, taking the fine skin of
the big leopard, he put the two little
ones in a basket and set off for the
camp. The little fellows were very hun,
CRY when they were let out at the camp,
and the first thing to do was to hunt
up some goats milk for them, which
they seemed to like very well. They
were too rough to play with any ami
mails but a dog belonging to the hunter,
and for long time these animals were
very good friends, although the little
leopards were so much trouble to look
after that black boy was hired to take
care of them.
At the age of about four weeks the
cubs were just like kittens running
| about over the place, and great deal
! of bother to their little nurse. They
slept at night with their foster broth
ers, the puppies, but in the daytime
they were busy from morning until
night. They climbed on the bed and
pulled the blankets to pieces; they
drank the cats milk in the saucer;
frightened the life out of the tame mon
key; scared the fowls (who nearly died
