Among
M00nShiners

The great majority of moonshiners
are to be found in the mountain fast
nesses of Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee, and here they live in condi-
tions of civilization as crude as their
ancestors, most of whom were English
fugitives from justice who reached this
country more than century ago, says
the International Magazine. Indeed,
in many respects these descendants
have retrograded rather than ad-
vanced. Had they been surrounded
for a century by Chinese wall they
could not have been more destitute or
ignorant of the modern conveniences
and even decencies of civilized life.
Cut off from all educational advan-
tages, they have no knowledge of even
the rudimentary three rs"
It is very difficult for any outsider
to get a look into the real life Of these
people, for without exception the
moonshiners are suspicious of all
strangers, and every unfamiliar face
that comes among them Is at once
suspected Of belonging to a revenue

New Method of Packing Butter.

Consul Murphy at Magdeburg
writes: Attention has been attracted in
Germany to new method of packing
butter which has been tried with sat
isfactory results in connection with
shipments from Melbourne to Kimber-
ley. This method, which, it is said,
has already been extensively adopted
in Australia, consists in placing the
butter in box formed of six plates of
ordinary window glass whose edges
are closed with gummed paper; the
glass box is covered with a layer of
burnt gypsum (plaster of Paris) about
one-fifth Of an inch thick, and is then
wrapped in specially prepared water
proof packing paper. AS gypsum is
a bad conductor of heat. a regular
temperature is maintained within the
glass box. At present the cases are
made Of sufficient size to contain 22O
pounds of butter. This idea may
prove Of special value to firms in the
United States engaged in shipping but
ter and other articles to tropical coun-
tries, especially il the question as to
the proper size and construction of the
boxes be given additional considera-
ton. 1t seems likely, however. that
this system of protecting delicate arti-
cles may be found useful even in the
home market.

Ancient Thigh Bone.

of the Academy of Natural Sciences on
Tuesday evening, called attention to q
human thigh bone, found fourteen

to be that of an aborigine. The bone
had been broken clean across at about
two-thirds of it's length, from the up.

slipped up about four inches along
side the upper piece and there the two
had reunited, making it again solid
femur. The remarkable thing regard
ing it, however. is its size, for it must
have been, before it was fractured
twenty and three-quarter inches long.
The average length of the femur of q
six-foot man is II inches. Conse.
quently the unhappy possessor of this
broken one must have been at least
seven feet tall.

Chicago Chronicles: One lone flying
f1sh-the first ever seen in Lake Mich
igan or anywhere along the chain OF
Americas inland seas-startled sew
eral Chicagoans by appearing above
the placid surface of the Lincoln park
lagoon. According to the accounts OF
the eyewitnesses closest to the scene
the winged fish rose from the lagoon
in the vicinity of the high bridge sew
eral times and was mistaken for bird
or water fowl of some sort. Not until
trio of park policemen had seen it
and realized that it had 'fsh's head
and scaly body and tail" was the true
nature Of the strange and unexpected
visitor to Chicago's shores recog-
nized.
Then began a vigil for further ap-
pearances of the hybrid member of the

boats and long poles hunt was in
augurated by the park animal keepers,
with view to capturing the mysteri-
GUS sojourner as novel and attractive
addition to the park zoo.
Heading the hunting party were
Park Superintendent Reideske, Head
Animal Keeper McCurren and Assist
ant Animal Keeper Flanagan. For
more than six hours and until the
shades of night began to fall strict
watch and ward was maintained over
the stretch of water above which the
sportive fish had been seen speeding
through the air like a diminutive fly
ing machine. When the Quesr and
vigil were abandoned at last there was
keen disappointment in the ranks Of
the menagerie men.
McCurren and Reideske did not de-
spair, however. They marched their
men to the Lake Shore drive bridge
that spans the lagoon spur which is
the outlet to the lake and after putting
the wire netting in a condition that
would insure against the escape of the
finny curiosity by water they an
nounced that renewed efforts would be
instituted today.
How this peculiar fish found its way
to Lake Michigan waters is problem
difficult to answer. Among the ex-

Smother Crop for Morning Glory.

Smother Crop for Morning Glory.
We have received from Professor T.
L. Lyon of the University of Nebraska
the following communications: I'm a
recent number of your paper you
quoted my opinion on the best method
of getting rid Of the wild morning
glory. said in my communication
that we had found the use Of a.
smother crop to be better than a cul-
tivated crop in getting rid of this pest
BY this meant a crop such as small
grain, that would grow DIP and COM
pletely cover the morning glory vine;
or, to seed down to some thickly
rooted grass, which would crowd it
out. In the paper you made me say
that I advocated the use of another
crop, which, of course, is absurd"

plantations offered is the theory that,
although the flying fish heretofore mas
been unknown to fresh water, there IS
no reason why the conclusion should
be drawn that the creature can sur
vive or thrive in salt water only. 1t Is
not known that any specimens OF TINS
particular finny tribe have been held
in captivity anywhere hereabout, ana
the view is maintained that the visit
ing member of the family must have
made it's way to the chain of lakes
from the North Atlantic ocean. Only
through the st. Lawrence river and
the Welland canal would it seem thar
such journey could be made.
Mr.. Reideske thinks, however, that
the dangerous trip through the Well
and locks may have been obviated by
means of a swim through the great
subterranean seas on which vast ter
ritories to the north are supposed to
rest. To this conjecture McCurren OBJ
jected. But he at once met Redieske's
theory with an equally novel one OF his
own. It was that the fish, being more
native to the tropical than the north
ern seas, may have come to Chicago
from the Gulf of Mexico by way of the
Mississippi river and the new drainage
canal. He holds that flying fish
would have little or no difficulty in
flying across the bear trap dam or one
of the locks at the controlling works
in Lockport, subsequently reaching
the lake through the Chicago river.
From the accounts of the three park
policemen and many citizens who saw
the fight in the lagoon the new arrival
in Illinois water should be able to have
performed the feat that McCurren
thinks was enacted at Lockport. It
appears that the winged fish arose In
the air to height Of 80 or 40 feet
above water and few about 800 feet In
bee-line each time, disappearing
again in the bosom Of the lagoon's
waters from which it as suddenly had
sprung. It is described as about II
inches long, with wings or soaring inns
not less in length than the body. Its
color is declared to be pale emerald
green, intermingled with mother Of
pearl.

Fleeces uniform in quality and
length of staple are most desirable for
manufacturing purposes.
The average weight of sheep re-
ceived in June at the stock yards wa
the lightest of the year. The proper
tion of spring lambs was larger than
usual. which reduced the weight The
average was only 81 pounds. against
81 pounds the previous month.
A sheepman says: "Tell these Wis
consin shippers that there is posi-
lively no demand for common to fair
sheep and lambs They have to sell
at ridiculously low prices, and If ship
pers realized how low the market is
for such stock no doubt they would
not send them in so freely. Over rs
per cent Of the sheep and lambs re-
ceived the first week in July consisted
of stock which buyers didn't want"
Prof. Herbert w. Mumford, of Mich
igan, says: With the vast amount OF
cheap unoccupied land in Michigan
which is we'll adapted to sheep hus-
bandry, combined with the present en-
couraging outlook for the wool and
mutton industry, it is our opinion that
farmers can we'll afford to double the
number Of sheep now kept in the state.
Our climate and other conditions are
favorable for the growth Of wool and
mutton and our geographical position
gives us many advantages both from
a breeders and from general farm
er's standpoint.
Plans are being drawn in the bridge
building department of the Denver
& Rio Grande for the largest sheep
dipping and clipping yards in the
West The traffic in sheep between
New Mexico and Arizona and Colorado
has so increased within the last year
or two that the ordinary facilities for
handling the stock are not sufficient.
The new building for which plans are
now being drawn will be erected at
Chama, N. NJ, as soon as they have
been approved by President Jeffery.
The yards and buildings will be Of un-
usual capacity and when moderately
full will accommodate $500 sheep.
Sheep men, recently returned from
the West, report a frightful condition
on the sheep ranges Of eastern Mon
tana. Grass is dry as powder. and
prairie fires have been raging in some
sections, one fire sweeping over nfty
square miles before it could be
checked. They say the present gene
ration has never seen the water so low
in the upper Mississippi. No boats
have run above La Crosse during the
last month. Outlook for feeding at
the northern points is very discour-
aging, with practically no screenings
to be had. and ranges so bare of vege-
tation that the sheep must come into
feed lots this fall in a weak and ema-
ciated condition.

Co-operative Cresmeries In Ireland.
Cooperation in dairy matters seems
to have taken firm root in Ireland.
Eleven years ago there was In Ireland
but one dairy and agricultural soci-
ETY., with a membership of so. Now
there are 1853 such societies. with a
membership running up into the
thousands. The movement has proved
very beneficial to the farmers of the
Emerald Isle. The butter that used to
find slow sale at low price now
sells easily alongside Of Danish. as
it is uniform in character, due to its
being made at factories where modern
appliances are possible. AS a producer
of butter for the English market Ire
land has great possibilities; her home
market is not sufficiently large to alb
sorb all the good butter that can be
made and there will thus be an ex-
portable surplus.

Doctor siddale, the well-known Lon

few years ago was fishing one even
ing in Scotch loch when man ap-
preached, caught him by the snoul-
ders. and shook him violently. "A
glance told the doctor that the man

at him doubtfully, and said: so they
do. Make haste. I'll wait" Doctor
siddale walked slowly up the bank,
and then ran for his life. 1t requires
calmness and courage Of rare quality
to cope with the vagaries of disor-
dered brain. Moliere, the great French
dramatist, was Ill, and had retired to
his villa at Auteuil for rest and quiet.
One day Boileau, Lulli and another
friend came to visit him. Monsieur
La Chapelle did the honors for Mo-

the guests were in SO exalted a state
that they resolved to set an example
to France by dying philosophically to-

Outbrseding Instincts.

It seems a remarkable thing that
the strongest instincts in bird may
be bred out, yet such is the case.
A poultry writer tells of his expe-
rience with some ducks: "We all
know what unnatural results have
sometimes been accomplished by
breeding: some of them carefully
sought after, and others reached in
cidentally, or accidentally, but none
the less wonderful. Take for instance
the duck, whose fondness for water
is proverbial, and yet when bred year
after year and for generations solely
for rapid growth, and deprived Of
water except for drink, that they may
lose no time or flesh in unnecessary
exercise, but give their undivided
attention to attaining a weight of
five or five and a half pounds at nine
or ten weeks old, this natural desire
and liking for water and swimming
accommodations and privileges some
times seems to have been so thorough
ly bred out of their very nature that
we have known of instances where,
as an experiment, they had to be for
chilly driven into the pond, and in
stead of remaining there and enjoying
it, they acted like so many old hens.
frightened nearly out of their wits,
and took the first opportunity to get
ashore, and made the best of their
way home. They know nothing of
aquatic delights, personally. nor had
they ever been told of them by their
parents who were equally ignorant on
the subject as themselves. Neither
had their unsophisticated ears been
regaled with any traditional tales of
the ocean," from their grand or great
grandparents; consequently they SEEM
ed in blissful ignorance of everything
except their humdrum life of con-
finement, eating, drinking and grow
ing, which to them was doubtless
equivalent to "eating, drinking and be-
ing merry"

keeping, when It means q lath fence
that in short time gets out Of re-
pair and becomes an eyesore. Wire
properly put up will remain for years
without further attention. At short
distance from the house 1t does not
show at all. II the posts are we'll
made and painted there is nothing to
detract from the looks Of the place.
If the posts are placed within ten feet
of each other the wire can be kept
taut without top wire. This will
make it possible to get along with a
wire fence only four feet high.
Dogs are a great nuisance when 1t
comes to the wire fence for the poul-
try yard. It is something of prob
lem to know how to keep them from
getting under the wire. OF course if
no bones were thrown into the yard
the dogs would never develop an in
clination to go in that direction. But
since it is necessary to give the poul-
try the table scraps we must find some
way of keeping out the CANNES. Prob
ably the easiest way is to feed food of
this kind inside the poultry house,
out of sight of all creatures except
those for whom it is intended. In
any case the wire fence will need to
be fastened down to the ground. There
are various ways, only one of which
has been practiced by the writer. This
way is to make sharp wooden pegs,
six or eight inches long, according to
kind of soil, and an inch or more in
thickness. A nail is driven into the
stake near the top and at such an
angle with the wood that it slants
quite sharply downward. The pegs
are driven into the ground at the bot
tom of the wire and the nail catches
over the bottom strand Of the wire,
which is thus driven fast against the
ground. Place these pegs about two
feet apart and they will hold the fence
tightly. OF course the frosts of each
winter will loosen them to some ex-
tent, and they will have to be in
spected each year. If any of our read
ers has superior plan, let us hear
from it.

Molasses As Food for Cattle.

A stockman of the South says: The
very short cane crop of 1899 is devel-
oping an active demand for low-grade
molasses. The low prices at which
molasses sold in this country for a
number of years, and the fact that con-
siderable quantities of it are thrown
away for lack Of a market, attracted
the attention Of the livestock feeders
of England. and immense quantities Of
molasses have recently been sent
abroad for horse and cattle feed, our
own people seeming to be compare
lively ignorant Of the great food value
