ANIMALS SLEEP LONG.
Some PecuIiorities of the Most Noted of alternating
Animals.
Animals.

Of all the animals that pass the win
ter months in sleep, the most inter-
esting is the bear. When he decides to
begin his long nap, he selects a nice
sheltered place where the snow will
blow in. Not right under the falling
fakes does he lie, but in a crevice OF
rock, and here the snow drifts in and
covers him, and Bruno sleeps on, his
breath keeping the space open around
his nose and clearing an air passage
through the drifts.
The badger goes to sleep for 3 long
time during the cold months. He hi
bernates. And so does the hedgehog-
the porcupine and the dormouse. The
porcupine sleeps so soundly that you
can pull out his quilts and he will not
rouse, and you can stand him upon his
feet and turn those quilts any way
without making him fretful. His head
will droop, his legs will double under
him, but he will continue asleep. The
only way you can waken him is with

Insects az Food,

Those who object to the eating OF
meat as the term is usually understood
will be interested in learning of new
movement whose leaders oppose the
consumption of beef and mutton but
are equally hostile to vegetarianism.
A French entomologist, NJ. Dagin, has
discovered a compromise which he cor
daily recommends, in the shape of in
sect food. He speaks on the subject
with authority, having tasted several
hundred species of raw, boiled. fried,
broiled, roasted and hashed insects"
But the most popular insect food Of all,
he declares, is locust -four, which the
Bedouins take boilc.l in milk or fried

Jackets and Tartan Trousers.
The war Office has at last decided
the new military uniforms in details
and the transformation Of the soldier
Is expected to commence about the
middle of the year.
The ceremonial dress will be the full
dress at present used and will be worn
with cap for walking out, while the
service dress-the fighting kit-will be
an entirely new one, OF special mate
rial, replete with the latest improve
ments and designed alike for rough
wear and comfort.
The service dress is. in fact, de-
signed with a view to furnishing a
comfortable uniform. light enough to
be worn on service abroad and in
warm weather at home and also with
the addition of warm Undertaking
for wear in winter. 1t consists chiefly
of a rainproof, drab-mixture cloth. The
great coat is to be light and supple,
with a small cape attached. capable of
being easily put on or taken off and
easily folded.
The jacket is of very light drab mix
ture serge of Norfolk pattern. 1t will
have a turned-down roll collar. shout
der rifle patches, two breast pockets
with plaits and two strong side pock-
cts with flaps, plated at the waist and
with a false plat dowa the center of
the back. 1t Is intended to be lAsse
Citing.

will wear on particular colored
ground the title Of his unit.

At California convention, a Mr..
Newball said: 1t would be difficult to
economically feed pulp away from the
factory, as transportation and hand
ling of pulp is quite expensive. Fac
tories sell pulp at from 10 to rs cents
per ton; the former price has been the
custom when taken away from the fac
tory, the latter when conveniences and
J. facilities for feeding cattle have been
furnished at or near the factories. 1
doubt any profitable use for beef-feed-
ing at over % cents per ton for pulp.
At this price, and the usual value of
grain and hay or straw, 1t will cost
from $500 to $1,000 per head to put
the animal into good marketable con-
dition. At the present and usual price
of purchase and sale cf cattle in Cali
fornia these figures $500 to $4,000
are the full margin of profit when fat
tened on grass on the ranges\ AID
without any extra cost Of feeding. l
am Of the opinion that under ordinary
conditions in our state, except by
small farmers. pulp. or in fact any
feeding. cannot be profitably carried
on; but pulp Is most excellent thing
to have in this state to fall back on
in case Of emergencies, like dry years
and seasons when cattle do not prop
erly fatten on the ranges. believe.
however, that small farmers who do
their own work can purchase cattle,
fatten them, and sell to a profit that
would be satisfactory to them, es-
pecially as lots can be turned off ev-
cry three or four months. This would
be especially true Of farmers in the
localities where sugar beets are raised,
and a long start made by feeding beet
tops, and which would require but lit
tie time, say one month, for finishing
on pulp with grain and hay.

Poultry Briefs.

Fowls do not need nostrums. The
habit OF feeding hocks large quantities
of red pepper and other spices is not
one to be encouraged. Generally. too,
such things are fed blindly and must
often result in disarrangement Of the
digestive system.
The advice is given to get rid OF the
old ROSTERS before the breeding sea-
son begins. It is thought better to
mate young roosters with old hens to
get chicks both vigorous and hardy.
The young cockerel imparts the vigor
and the old hen the ability to with
stand adverse conditions.
The causes for soft shelled eggs may
be various. Among them we may mem
ton the lack Of shell-forming material
in the food. the failure OF the oviduct
to secrete shell material. or its inabil-
ity to hold the egg till the shell fs
properly formed around it. The feed
ing OF foods deficient in lime may be
and probably is the principal cause of
the deficiency. In a state Of nature
fowls lay fewer eggs than they do
when brought under the care of man.
Moreover, they have in a wild state
access to SO many different kinds OF
food that they are sure to get enough
lime somewhere for the eggs they lay.
Under artificial conditions it seems to
be quite necessary for man to supply
lime in addition to food, especially it
that food be deficient in lime.
The fellows that have been selling
the so-called red albumen'' seem to
have made pretty fair haul of suck

so many people should rush off to the
druggist and pay 60 cents a pound for
something that has merely been men
toned in some non-agricultural paper.
We have over so experiment stations
In this country, and it is an easy mat
ter to write them concerning thing
of this kind. Any reputable agricu!-
tural paper will also run to earth a
fraud when the attention Of the editor
is called to it. This "red-albumen" on
| analysis was found to contain one
| tenth Of one per cent of albumen, and

sand and oxidized iron Cred paint. In
stead Of being worth 60 cents a pound,
1t was worth only 2 cents pound for

MLEAN AND JOHNSON.

From the Boston Herald.
Not long ago John R. Mclean of Gin
cinnati and Washington made a savage
attack on Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of
Cleveland. He was intolerant of all pre-
tensions that Mayor Johnson was a lead
ing democrat of the state. The reply to
this detrdction Is the capture by John
sons friends of the Cincinnati delegation
to the state democratic convention. This
means much, for MrLean has long had
supreme authority In the democratic par
ty of Hamilton county. and much Of that
time controlling influence in the coun-
ellis Of the state organization. At one
time he cherished aspirations for place
on the psrty's national ticket. Apparent
ly he has had fall IN favor. That the
party should be tired of him is not
strange. There is nothing to recommend
him but his unscrupulousness. his wealth
and his newspaper, the Cincinnati En-
-quirer Tom Johnson is a man of ideas
and of large-minded public spirit. He
is ambitious and wonderfully energetic.
Since he became mayor, he has kept the
republican state government very busy
devising plans to prevent his policies Of
reform.

MUCH YACHTING TALK.

Of an early challenge from Great Britain
for another international yacht race for
the Americas cup has stirred up spec
ulation in yachting circles Much Sc
crecy surrounds the plans of the English
challenger and the intentions of the New
York Yacht club also are shrouded in
mystery.
There is talk of a syndicate to build
a new defender, but 1t is certain that
August Belmont and the yachtsmen as
ISOLATED with him in the ownership of
the Constitution will take no part in a
new craft They believe that the Con-
stitution can be improved so that it will
be much faster than last year.
However, it is argued that the club
may feel itself In duty bound to build
still another defender and not trust too
implicitly to the Constitution and Co
lumbia, as should the challenger beat
either of these the club might come in
for much adverse criticism.
There is no lack OF patriotism or money
in the club and just as soon as the chal-
lenge comes to hand vigorous action may
be expected.
