SCARE WOLVES AUTOMATICALLY
Kept at Bay at Night by Paten.
Gun.

Examiners In the patent ofIico have
learned by experience that 1t is a
mistake TO jump at conclusions re.
;ardlng the usefulness OF inventions.
nays the Presbyterian Banner A con
'riyance AZ which they were inclin-
ID to poke great deal of fun de
,igncd to frightcn wolves on western
Drairies was patented less than three
months ago. and already II has come
INTO considerable use in the sheep
growing districts In thnt part of the
,ountry,
The device Is an automatic gun,
which goes of at regular intervals
scarinE the wolves away from the
dock. 1t consists of a sort of box
which contains a sort OF clock.work
attachment. with u small steel barrel
projecting from one end A maya.
zine, also with the box, is loaded
with blank cartridges. which are fired
by the clock-work once in ten min,
utes or SO. BY the help OF simple
mechanical attachment the intervals
between discharges are made as long
or us short rs may be desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be in
operation only from sunset to sun
Use. II is at the period OF lambing
that the focks are In danger the
fierce wolves ralding them and car
ry,ng of the iambkins. and hence the
apparatus described In intended to be
employed exclusively during that sea
son. II may be that the wolf, which
is decidedly intelligent animal may
learn the deception after awhile and
realize that the automatic gun has
not man behind It, In Russia it has
bee found that wolves are afraid of
the humming of telegraph wires.

The vault In the dlIapldated little
graveyard opposite New Orleans
where the body of John McDonogh
known to American history as an ec

Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate tho
transactions OF your life.

INTO hvc and ten acre tracts. while
the southern suburb is watered from
the Otero canal and is cut up into
Tracts ranging from one and one-quar-
ter to Ave acres. all told about $50
cultivated land resident tracts.
These cultivated suburban areas
originally cost 800 an acre, with in
clue water rights, and owing to their
prolific production OF diverse and mar
ketable croppage could not now be
purchased for quintupIe the money
paid for them.
Large and small fruits. melons,
vegetables. dairy, poultry and bees
are all included in the returned reve-
nues of these small acreage holdings.
an idea OF the annually accruing profit
being gathered from the fact that the
residences erected cost all the way
from $500 to $4,000, $1,000 being a
fair average,
Peaches produce as high as Sl2 to
the tree. with SO as a fair average.
French. German and Italian prunes
an yield heavily, with excellent fruit,
while apples are OF fine harvest. Can
loupes count from 800 to $500 an
acre. while the sugar beet is as pro-
life as profitable. Celery of superb
growth and quality finds an extend
ed market. being, as an instance, con
tracted largely to the Harvey rail
road eating houses.
Both Irish and sweet potatoes are
OF large yield. as are tomatoes. cab

ty. The egg and oyster plants also
flourish.
The honey Industry returns from
Sc to 80 colony of bees n season,
with over 100 per cent of increase OF
the bees themselves during the same
time. One hundred colonies and
81 900 worth OF honey season. is
m axiom OF the bee industry there.
In this connection is the remark of
n local beekeeeper that the Arkan-
sas valley, In Colorado. has already
enough alfalfa flower bee pasturage
to produce millions OF dollars worth
of honey annually"
