A TlGRESS WITH A GRUDGE
She Gets Furious Mt Sight of n Keep.
err who Once Beat Her.

There is lean tigress in the Central
park menagerie who spends part OF
the day beating her head against the
iron bars of her cage in a vain attempt
to spring upon one of the keepers.
Ordinarily the animal is quiet enough.
1t is only when this keeper passes
that she ceases to be purring cat ana
becomes Il fiend incarnate The other
morning the tigress was in an extreme.
ly bad temper. When her fancied en-
envy stuck mop in through the bars
to clean her cage, she sprang at him,
growing in thunderous bass. Nearly
everybody in the crowd stepped back
involunturily. The keeper placed an
iron bar in the cage at the great cats
feet and went on with his work, while
the animal snarled in impotent rage
and drew back her upper lip over two
cleaning white fangs.
"She doesn't seem to be fond of you"
ventured bystander.
mo, there isn't much love lost be-
tween u.s." replied the keeper. Her
tantrums show that animals treasure
grudges just like people. That tigress
came here eight years ago. y day or
two after she arrived had to punish
her, and she has never got over it.
She watches me all day out of the cor
ner of her eye, and every time l go
by the cage she makes a jump. l sup
pose she thinks she'll get me some
time. If she does, l might as well say
goodby."
While the man talked the tigress
looked at him with hate plainly stamp
ed on her face. When he went away,
she watched him until he was lost to
view. Then she resumed her nervous
tramp, tramp.-New York Mail and

THE DEADLY COBRA.
How venomous Creature Is Handled
by Hindoo Snake Chnrmers

The creatures were on the defensive,
but not one of them attempted to
strike Mt the master, who sat serenely
in front of them, so long as he did
nothing to annoy them Kullan talked
to them as If they were his dearest
friends. After a time one or the other
of them would lower its head. collapse
It's hood and begin to try to wriggle
away. WhereNpon Kullan would give
it a smart little rap on the tail with
his stick and bring it instantly to at
tention again. Whether this man pos
sessed any special magic over these CO.
bras or whether the description given
below of how he could handle and play
with them was simply due to his meth.
cd | cannot say. He himself repudia'
ted the idea of magic and asserted pos.
itively that any one who had the nee.
essary nerve and dexterity could dc
exactly the same.
He used no reed instrument or mu.
sic of any kind to propitiate the rep
tiles. He would simply squat on his
launches in front of them, and, after
they had been kissing and swaying
their uplifted heads backward and for
ward for few minutes, he raised his
hands above their heads and slowly
made them descend till they rested or
the snakes heads. He then stroked
them gently, speaking all the time IL
the most endearing Hindoostanet
terms. The serpents appeared spell
bound. They made no effort to resent
the liberty, but remained quite still
with heads uplifted, and seemed rather
to enjoy it. Presently his hands would
descend down the necks about three
inches below the heads, his fingers
would close loosely around the necks
and he would lift them off the GROUND
and place them on his shoulders. The
looseness of the grip appeared to b,
the main secret. The snakes, being ii
no way hurt, would then slowly craw
through his fingers and wind them
selves round his neck, his shoulders
and his arms. They appeared to real
lie that no harm was to be done them
and they made no effort to resent
the handling. He would pick then
gently off one arm and place them OF
the other and, in fact, stroke them anc
pet them as if they had been pail
of harmless worms.-Cornhill.

OATS are too thick on the ground and

oats are cut, the sun will kill the plants.
When sown with other grain the clover

to kill out the first winter. In fact 1t

make so much worthless trash to rake up
In the the next years crop. But good
plan is to NOW the stubble two or three
weeks after the grain is harvested, for
you will catch great many weeds and
the Foxtail grass will be heading about
that time. This moving also makes the
clover root more strongly so that it is
better prepared to stand next springs

To treat poor piece of land, sow it to

under the second crop, and plant to corn
the next spring, and small grain after
that. Glover will be on hand without

that way and build up the land at the

ANY farmer who leaves his land poorer
every time he takes of crop is doing
poor farming. He Is drawing on his
principal in addition to spending his in
terest and in time will have his account
checked out" and his farm to point
where 1t will not pay to cultivate. The
use of something to keep up fertility is
an absolute necessity to good farming
The leguminous crops that gather some
thing from the air and put it into the
soil will help In this matter.
AS all thoughtful reading farmers
know, says the Journal of Agriculture, the
three really important elements of food
In all crops are nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash. Usually, even in lands that
have been quite run down, there is an
abundance of the two latter. But even
If not, it does not cost so much to buy
and put on the land the quantity of the Sc
that may be needed, but the nitrogen is
easier to exhaust and far more costly to
buy. The usual price of 1t is about l6
cents pound, while the others cost only
Al or cents per pound each. 1t is evil
dent, then, that crop that can gather
the free nitrogen from the air, which Is
more than half nitrogen, and put it into
available form for use in the ground, Is
one of the best crops that can be grown,
especially when it has other valuable
qualities. And in the cOwpea these
qualities are numerous. One of the most
important of these is that they will grow
on poor soil. This is the very most i'm
portant consideration in a soil improver.
One that will only grow on rich soil
could never be of any benefit where most
needed. Then it can be sown almost any
time after the weather gets warm it can
be planted or sOwn with other crops or
after small grain crops are taken of.
These peas are good food for man and
beast; they can be used either as grain
or long forage; they make profitable
crop gathered and sold and can come
nearer being sold of or fed of the land
without running it down than anything
else. And, as we have said, above all,
the stubble if they are cut off, or the re-
mains after feeding of, If p.owed under,
will help the soil, both in putting nitro
gen into 1t and improving the texture of
the soil by supplying humus.

correspondent. We think the best way
to use wood ashes is to sift and sow with
a fertilizer drill. Sow 200 to 300 pounds
per acre. This will give from II to Is
pounds of available potash per acre and
from four to six pounds of available
phosphoric acid per acre. Wood ashes
have higher fertilizer value than many
of the commercial fertilizers. 1t re-
qures from 80 to 60 bushels for ton
and at 16 to IS cents per bushels the
potash alone would be worth from s. to
$40 per ton. Add to this the value, OF

Making Fertilizers mt Home.

There is one advantage in mixing fer-
tilizers at home, that If one has definite
idea of the elements most needed in MS
soil, or by those crops he INTENDS 10
grow, he can use them in such proper
tons as he wishes, without buying such
as are not needed. He can also usually
buy the raw material at such prices as
may save him the usual commission
paid to the agents, and the cost OF bag
ging, and put into his pocket also the
price charged for mixing. A part OF the
two first items is more imaginary IMAM
real, however, as the dealer wants pro-
fits on the material, as he would have on
the Manufactured goods. But II the 1ar-
mer decides to do this we advise him
against the buying of raw phosphate
rock or bone, and mixing 1t with sui
phuric acid. The carboys of acid are
unpleasant things to handle, as the acid
burns clothing or flesh wherever 1t
touches them, and railroads charge high
rates of freight on the them, because OF
the danger of breaking in transporta-
ton. 1t is better to buy the acid phos-
phate II to 1G per cent strong.-Ex-
