BELGIAN HARE CRAZE.
Long After 1t Hns Petered Ont the
Poultry Farmer VIII Still Doa
Profitable Business

The Belgian hare craze will be
benefit to poultrymen who have the
grace to resist temptation and stick
to an established and recognized in
dustry for whose product there is a
consumers market, because it will re-
ieve them from the competition of a
great deal of energy and capital some
part of which would certainly have
been devoted to the poultry business.
Whatever may finally come of the
Belgian hare business, at present it is
wholly speculative, the only estab-
hshed market for hare stock being
with those who wish to raise hares to
sell to other people. 1t will be found
that this is by no means an endless
chaln,' but n chain which will come
to an abrupt end some day, after
which the only market will be for the
meat and the pelts. The public is not
educated to the consumption of hare
meat, and there is no more difficult
task than to educate the community
to the consumption of new article
of food The housewife uses eggs
every day, and there is a constant de-
mand in every family for table fowls
in the various stages of their growth.
If anyone enjoys raising Belgian
hares and follows the business for the
pleasure there is in it, that settles
the matter so far as he is concerned,
and his profit is the fun he has. But
as matter of business, common
sense should teach anyone that it is
foolish to abandon an industry for
whose product there is an established
demand to engage in one for which
the market must be created.--San

The Fertility of Eggs.

There is a foolish notion prevailing
among some fowl breeders that eggs
which have been shipped distance
should rest day or two before being
placed in an incubator, says the Fam
ciers' Gazette. AS soon as the hens
are ready to sit. or the incubator
ready for work. place the eggs under
or in at once; they will rest as COM
fortably in either place as elsewhere,
in fact, better; for everybody knows
that the fresher the eggs the more
chicks they will yield, and the health
Ter the chicks. The germs floats to
the top of the egg, and will find its
way there in half minute, at the
most, if revolved 100 times an hour;
and the yolk will find its place just
as soon if it has not been broken, in
which case it might rest a month or
a year and never hatch.

WHEN REPTILES RULED EARTH
frof- Fairchild Describes AwfaI
Creatures Before the Days
of Man.

A lecture delivered by Prof. Herman
lie Roy Fairchild before the special
class at Sibley hall, was unusually in
teresting. The period discussed was
the Age of Reptiles, says the Rochester
Post-Express.
The habits of the hideous dinosaur.
70 feet in height, 40 feet in length, the
ichthyosaurus, the pterodactylus, the
iguanadon, and other Shiny monsters,
with their frightful appearance, were
all described. The origin of birds and
their close relation to the reptiles were
also brought out. The pterodactylus
was huge reptile, not unlike a gil
gantic bat, with spread of wing 20
feet across, and head like q horse,
set at right angles to the neck These
interesting creatures skinned the
clouds, Tapped among the mighty fern
trees, numbered through swamps and
filled their huge maws with dragon
flies whose wings were 20 inches from
tip to tip. The bones of their frame
work were hollow, like those of birds.
1t was not so surprising. then, when
workmen splitting slabs from a lime
stone quarry in Germany unearthed
the fossilized skeleton of huge bird,
unlike all modern relatives, with a
broad tail, crooked wings and real
feathers.
This was the original early bird. The
scientists, with dignified humor, gave
it a Greek name which signifies exact.
~ the same thing-archeopteryx.
He was a big fellow, this first father
of our songsters. The robins. spar.
rows, larks and swallows would look
like specks beside him. 1t is quite like
ly he would eat them.
\ few mammals had appeared about
this time. They marked another di.
vergence from the reptilian forms.
They were squirrellike creatures, and
lived close to the ground.
The age of reptiles is divided into
three periods--Triassic. Jurassic, and
Cretaceous. Each division represents
the passage of millions of years. Thie,
perhaps, will be better understood,
said Prof. Fairchild, when one thinks
of the uncGunted ages which it has
taken to make man. Each one of these
terrible reptiles had to be developed,
reach a eliminating point in advance.

same way.

FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS.

IMPROVEMENT In SWINE.
New Standards, to Conform with
market Demands, Must he Estab-
lished Frequently.

The term improvement is only rela.
tive. There is no such thing as the
improvement of swine in the abstract.
When we speak of the improvement OF
swine we mean in the relation of the
hog to man. In the relation of the
hog to himself there has been no i'm.
provement, but rather an absolute de.
terioration. Let the human race dis.
appear from the earth at this time
and the hog would be in bad shape to
survive. At least this would be true
of the improved hog. He would fall
a prey to hunger, for he could not
hunt his own food except under the
most favorable circumstances; if any
wild animal got after him he would
be unable to fight, for his tusks have
been bred out. Even as relates to
man the improvement made by one
generation is not the improvement de.
sired by another. There was a time
when bigness counted for nearly
everything in the improved hog. Now
the buyers want quick-grown hogs OF
medium weight. The next improve,
ment will probably be more lean meat
in the hog, because the buyers taboo
the fat. The next generation will see
new standards of improvement estab.
lished. The present lines of breed,
ing will have to be modified from year
to year as demands change.-Farmers

AMERICAN GRAVES IN MEXICO.
Many Railroad Lines There Ar.
Dotted with Mounds Marked by
Simple Cross.

How many of the hundreds of Amer.
can tourists who make a trip through
Mexico have ever noticed the little
wooden crosses that line every rail
road route through the country, ana
how many of those who have noticed
them, asks an eastern exchange, know
that in most instances they mark the
grave of some compatriot who has met
sudden death through some accident?
To those unfamiliar with Mexican
methods this may seem strange, but it
is fact that of the many Americans
who are killed on the railroads IN Mex.
leo very few are inferred in consecrated
ground. Most of these pathetic little
grave marks have rotted off, and now
lie fiat on the graves, but they will be
replaced some day, for the native Mex.
lean of the lower class, with all his
hate of the "gringo," never allows
grave long to remein unmarked if he
knows it. He is superstitious to the
last degree, and he firmly believes that
should he allow the day of his patron
saint to pass without his attending to
r
his home he would forever be haunted
by the spirit of the neglected graves
occupant.
On the Rascon mountains, probably
the most dangerous piece of railroad
track in the republic, there are 1863 OF
these little crosses in about 32 miles
and almost without exception they
mark the graves of American railroad
men. These graves are scattered all
over the mountainside, but in every
case they are just where the inquest, if
there was one, was held.
The interment of the dead in Mex
leo is a very expensive matter. For a
time the railroad men who went from
the states to operate the roads there
tried to give to all Americans who were
killed on their division a decent burial,
but the tax on the few permanent ones
was too great and the plan was prae-
tically abandoned.
