fox, which is often caught in the
Sierras and Gagged as we would
cage a gopher or weasel. "Perrito"
means literally doggy" and there is
really something puppyish about the
appearance of the young hill foxes,
but their ears soon get too sharp to
leave a doubt about their affinity.
The perrito is a true fox, although
not nearly as heavy as Kentucky
fox-squirrel, and quite able to live on a
vegetable diet. He will eat bread, ber-
ries and grapes, and the Filipinos even
get him used to boiled rice, favored
with a few drops Of oil; but the in
stincts Of his species revive if he is
turned loose in room enlivened by
scampering rodents.
A nursing perrita hides her whelps
as best she can, bundling them away
in the darkest corner of an old cracker
box, or even in the lee OF a jack boot.
A week after they have their eyes
open the pretty little animals will ven
ture out of their own accord, have a
leaping match after a cockroach OF
grasshopper, or roll about onsthe floor,
paving one another like playful kit
tens.
AS the days go by they become more
enterprising, and contrive to scrape q
! gopher out Of his wire trap without
waiting for the assistance of Their
keeper. In default of other fun, they
will tiptoe their way to the stove
where a Newfoundland puppy lies snor
ing on his rug. For a minute or longer
they will stand, closely watching thC
young giant; then they will crOucl
down and approach with a catlikC
wriggle, until one of them touches
the sleeper. Upon that all will scamper
back, frightened at their own bold
ness.
The Luzon kalong bat, with his enor
nous skin wings folded, is hardly a

OF parrots alone Luzon boasts some
twenty different species, besides va

the "spike-tail," a grayish green pet
with a passion for hest-building, and

waste one day fighting for building

Manure Ind Fel tlllzers.

No, advanced agriculturist would
ever suggest to a farmer that he
should not use manure, for such adj
vice would be wrong. Manure con
tains plant food, as every farm
knows. but it is also valuable as a
mechanical agent in the soil The OBJ
lection to the exclusive use Of manure
is that farmers do not have a sufiici-
ency, and their farms deteriorate, al
though they use all the manure made,
owing to their selling off the farm
more plant foods than they apply to
the land. 1t Is also possible for the
farmer to purchase concentrated feed
ing materials for enriching his manure
and also for providing for the live
stock, but the best and surest way to
make larger crops, and at the same
time maintain soil fertility, is to use
fertilizers with the manure When
this is done all the problems Of COM
plete plant food, humus and the me-
chanical condition Of the soil viii soon
be solved for the combination is one
that cannot fail If the weather con-
ditions are favorable. as the manure
viii be present in the soil to perform
its part and the fertilizers Will be there
to REINFORCE the manure.
Farmers must give more attention
to the preservation Of their manure in
order to prevent loss Of some OF its
most valuable constituents, and they
must throw off their prejudices
against the use Of fertilizers. It is
true that the manure apparently costs
nothing. while fertilizers must be pur-
chased, but the expense at the be-
ginning of the year must be compared
with the possible harvest later. III
the yield of a crop can be doubled by
the addition Of fertilizer to the land
then the fertilizer win really cost
nothing, as it viii pay for itself in
the extra yield. The object OF farmers
should be to increase the yields of
their crops, whether they have enough
manure or ain insufieieucy, MS The
profit is always greater when tec
yield is large provided prices DO not
affect the result, and large crops mean
fertile soils.-PhilaGelphia Record.
