AROUND TOWN.

An amusing sight was witnessed the
other afternoon on Fern street. A
foreigu-born resident, with friends and
neighbors, was endeavoring to place a
COW and young calf (probably one or
two weeks old) in a stable in the rear of
Fern street dwelling. Every manner
and means but the right way was tried
to induce the cow to go in first, which
she positively refused to do. Finally,
one bright mind thought of a plan
whereby the animals could be speedy
and safely placed where they belonged.
He procured a clothes ine and tied the
same securely to the cows tail, after
which he tied the other end to the
heifer.
with might and main in the rear of COW
aud calf. Both again resisted with
all the power they possessed. The cow
in time became enraged at the manner
of her treatment and not knowing but
that her young had been disposed Of,
broke away from her captors and sped
across the field at breakneck speed
with the poor heifer tied to her tail.
On she went, hotly pursued by her
owner and witnesses who were wildly
gesticulating: "Oh! OH The heifer
will be killed" The latter kept her
feet fairly well in the open but when
nearing the trees in the rear of the
brewery sharp swing against an eleva-
tion threw the heifer on the ground.
After being dragged a short distance
farther the rope fortunately broke and
released the exhausted calf, while the
mother continued her mad race for
freedom.

The fire was traced to a waste basket,

AUTOMATIC TANK VALVE.
Clever Little Device by Which the
Water supply for TrOushs Is
Regulated Easily.

Regulating the flow of water into
troughs and tanks is something which
causes farmers more or less anxiety
and trouble. In the plan as illustrated,
the water pipe enters near the top Of
the tank, which places the valve out
of water, thus relieving it of all dan
ger from rust or the collection of sedi-
ment. Such valve may be bought
at any hardware store. The pipe may
enter nearer the bottom of the tank,
and if the valve is kept clear the device
will still serve its purpose. Another
point in its favor is that, if desired,
the valve can be closed just as effect
ually when the tank is one-fourth full
as when filled to the brim.
The lower half of the long, jointed
lever connecting the valve and float has
shorter one attached to it, the up

PRUNING CHERRY TREES.
Until the Bearing Age Is Reached
This Operation Is One of Para
mount Importance.

Authorities on the subject have
fallen into the habit of saying that
cherry trees need ''practically no
pruning whatever" OF course this is
a general statement, which, like most
general statements, does not contain
all the truth or all the facts. 1t is
somewhat misleading also, to the in
experienced fruit grower; for he,
naturally, is inclined to apply such
a rule to every cherry tree on his
farm, regardless of variety, age or
condition. My own observation and
experience convince me that most
cherry trees need regular and sys-
tematic pruning until the bearing
age is reached. After that, if the
first five or six years trimming has
been properly attended to, very little
if any pruning is required.
Commercial cherry orchards are
rarely seen in Michigan or Ohio, but
in New York state, California, Idaho,
etc, cherry culture has received
much attention. Personally l take
great pride and pleasure in little
block of so trees which l set with my
own hands four years ago. The vari-
cites are mostly Montmorency and
Early Richmond, with a few sweet
varieties such as Gov. Wood, Windsor,
Black Tartarian and Yellow Spanish.
For four years this little cherry or
chard has received the same care and
attention that my peach and pear or
chards have. Each spring the treex
have been pruned; each winter mod
crate amounts of stable manure and
wood ashes have been applied; each
year the orchard has been plowed

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.
During Recent Years This Disease
Has Spread Very Rapidly
Among Farm Animals.

DR.. Leonard Pearson, state veteri-
marian of Pennsylvania, says: Tuber-
culosis has spread very rapidly
among cattle in this country during
recent years. OF this L am convinced
by the statements of veterinarians,
butchers and stockmen of many
years experience. While it is neces-
sary to recognize the fact that much
of this testimony is inaccurate it
cannot be denied that much of it is
of value and that practically all of 1T
points in the same direction. More
over, l have myself been able to trace
the infection of numerous herds to
a single source in localities recently
infected. In on instance, the infec-
tion of seven herds in widely sep
arated places in Pennsylvania, includ-
ing three districts in which tubercu-
losis was previously unknown, was
traced to a famous herd of cattle
that was broken up and sold at auc-
ton. 1t was afterwards ascertained
that this herd was almost saturated
with tuberculosis. 1t is natural that
tuberculosis should spread at a con-
stantly increasing rate as the cen
ters of infection multiply, unless ac-
tive measures are taken to check it..
AS proof of this, we have the expert
ence of the countries of Europe.
The slaughter house records of
France, Holland and Germany show
that tuberculosis of cattle and swine
has increased enormously in the past
ten years and in some places from
80 to 40 per cent. of all cattle killed
are tuberculous. Denmark is one of
the few European countries where,
thanks to the valuable original meth
DDS of Prof. Bang, the disease is
actually being repressed. Unless this
cancer on our herds is to be permit
ted to develop until the annual losses
occasioned by it are increased many
fold and the conditions that now eX-
ist in Europe and in many parts of
this country, become common, some
thing must be done. As to who shall
take whatever action is authorized,
there can be no doubt that under
present conditions the bulk of the
work will fall upon state officials
rather than upon those connected
with the federal or with the local
government.

CnxyA Tint Hold In MILL.

This is a peculiar vice, and one af-
fected by many cows. Indeed, there is
scarcely a herd in the country that
does not contain one or more COWS
that are given to the habit of holding
up their milk, says Hoard's Dairyman.
Such cows, as rule, are possessed Of
highly nervous organization. They
are quite apt to take prejudice to
certain persons as mixers, or if spoken
to harshly they can be easily thrown
into this unfortunate state of mind
and body. The easiest and surest rem
edy for such habit that we have ever
tried is to set a palatable mess of
food before the COW when we sit down
to milk her. Her mind is at once di-
verted from the act of milking, and
she let's down the milk naturally and
freely.

BIG LION KILLS HYENA.
Fierce South African Beast Has q
Desperate Battle with Captive of
Animal show.

Prince, the big South African lion
in an animal show at Jacksonville,
Fla, again distinguished himself the
other morning by killing a big hyena.
While his cage was being cleaned
Prince sprang over the head of the
man and escaped into the tent. There
were few people about, but they were
scattered in great alarm.
Near was a fierce hyena that had
been taken out of it's cage on ac-
count of it's constant fights with it's
mates. Prince spied this animal and
with IL roar he leaped on it. The
hyena fought bravely, but the big
lion was too much for it and soon
killed it. The employees held the lion
at bay with red-hot irons and rapidly
built up a barricade around him.
Placing small cage at one side,
Prince was driven from the carcass
of the hyena into the cage. The slid
ing door was shut down and he was
secure again. For an hour the ex-
citement on Bay street was intense.
A negro was so badly terrified that
he ran two blocks and plunged into
the st. Johns river.

ber of holes in it. BY having hole in
the upper half of the jointed lever and
using a pin, the angle at the joint can
be changed at will. Making it as large
as possible will necessitate the float be-
ing lifted near the top of the tank be-
fore the valve is entirely closed, but
by decreasing the angle the valve will
be closed, while the float is still near

Saskatoon, Saskntc he wan, One of tho
FavOured Districts.

The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire,
(Wisconsin) Leader, is but one of
many letters of a similar character
that might be published concerning
Western Canada, the land of No. 1
Hard Wheat and the best cattle on
the continent. 1t is a simple matter
to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana
dian Government having agencies es-
tablished at st. Paul and Duluth,
Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota;
Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha,
Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des
Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee,
Wisconsin,; Chicago, Illinois; Indian
apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and
Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Colum-
bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call
ing upon any of these Agents at these
points full information can be Sc
cured This is great opportunity to
secure a home free of cost or if you
desire to purchase lands; they can be
bought now at prices much lower than
will exist in a few months. But read
what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
TO the Editor of the Leader:
"The rush of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements of
a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had
good thing and they stuck to it. Their
officials evidently knew the value of
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one of their
ablest immigration officers. This gen
tleman spared no pains. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
of the soil from morning to night to
all comers.
"All this told in the long run. Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and like Caleb, the son of Jepun-
neh, and Joshua, the son of Nun,
brought back a good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-
pairing to follow. Of course many will
appear shocked ct the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes for
the Union Jack, but patriotism is but
a nomenclature after all, and our ex-
perience has been that in nine hun
dred and ninety-nine cases out of a
thousand, a man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to those whom
he hates"

A S a spring medicine Peruna is
Il never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
IA the blood through digestion, and
gives tone to the whole system by in
creasing the nutritive value of the
food. "Spring fever" as it is some
times called, which produces a tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do
much mental or physical work, is the
result of sluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna
has is due to the fact that in all such
cases it at once corrects digestive de-
rangements and enriches the blood by
purifying this very important source
of that vital fluid.

Siherin Rich In Rutter.

Siberia has long been sending but
ter to England, but the opening of the
Transsiberian railway has made it a
far more formidable competitor than
it formerly was. Last year the i'm
ports of Siberian butter were valued a.
G1,4OO,OOO, and this year it is esti-
mated that they will reach the value
of G2,5OO,OOO ($12,5OO OOO). The sup
ply of butter which Siberia can fur
nsh is said to be practically unlimit-
ed, and it is possible that the opening
up of Siberia may affect the dairy
industry of these countries as disas-
trously as the opening up of America
affected the wheat growing industry
it is also expected that Siberia will
shortly flood the English markets with
poultry, game and meat.
