Sofa. Bulgaria (By Cable).-The
Bulgarian Foreign Office has receiv-
cd very disquieting news from its
agent at Uskub. The Mussumans are
daily gathering in the mosques, and it
is feared that massacre OF the Chris
tians is impending.
Officials here express the belief that
the Intervention OF the powers alone
can prvent a disaster.
The Bulgarian government takes a
decidedly pessimistic view OF the situ-
alton and the officials openly express
their fears that a general massacre OF
the Christians in Macedonia is newt
able-possibly within four days and al
most certainly within a fortnight.
The reports from Bulgarian official
agents in Macedonia show that affairs
are rapidly growing worse. The fact
that the Mussulman population is be-
coming excited and congregating in
the mosques is regarded as bad iea-
ture, indicating the possibility that a
massacre may occur within very short
time. 1t is feared that such massa-
ere would cover wide area and in
clude both the large towns and the
villages, and that the Turkish soldiers
would prove incapable OF restraining
the fanatical Mussulmans even ii ~
desired to do so. which is by no means
certain. Monastir now contains only
four battalions OF Turkish troops, two
consisting OF raw recruits, who will be
quite unreliable in the event OF serious
troubles.

ALWAYS BE REGULAR.
A Point in Hog Feeding Whose Inn
portance Is Not as Well Unde,r-
stood as 1t Should Be.

To be most successful at raising
hogs we should feed regularly, not one
day early in the morning and the next
day in the middle of the forenoon. No
matter how many times day or what
wefeed, letit be at the same hours every
day. 1t is natural for hog to rest at
night time, and digestion and assimila-
tion of food will go on better if they
are fed regularly and before dark
s There are a great many farmers
who think "a hog is a hog" and of little
consequence as far as profit is con
cerned, hence they let him "root hog
or die" and if he does not do as well
as they expect, or as well as the hogs
of their neighbors, they blame the
breed or the one who sold them the
pigs, never taking into consideration
that, if they had given the hog show,
fed him with Some regularity and on
such food as would have kept his sys-
tenn in good condition, he would have
been a profitable animal AS a hog
grows older, and heavier, it requires
not only more food to make a pound
OF gain, but more to sustain the weight
that it already has. So, il not gaining,
you would better get them off your
hands as soon as possible.
In feeding hogs the important point
is to give just enough and no more.
This sometimes may be little difficult
to do. What is eaten up clean, with
indication that, if more were given, it
would be eaten, is the test Of what is
just the right quantity. A little care
full observation will soon make the
test easily understood. = Midland

BLUE JAYS HUNT SNAKES.
The Birds Have a Very Strong An-
tipnthy Toward All Venom
4s GUS II eptiles.

IL IS commonly supposed that all
Dlrds, at least those Of the small spe-
cles, fall easy victims. to snakes. There
are stories innumerable Of the manner
IT which the reptiles charm the feath-
ered creatures and end by swallowing
them at a gulp. But there is one bird
that IS not susceptible to the fascina-
ton OF his snakeship's eye, and that
IS the common blue jay, found in the
woods all over the United States, says
the Chicago Chronicle
A gentleman who has lived for many
years in the country asserts positively
that the blue jay can speak at least
one word as. plainly as human being
and that word is snake" when a
boy, he said recently, 81 killed many
snakes that would have escaped but
Tor the sharp eyes of the blue jay.
Some species ~of reptiles will climb
small trees and bushes and trap their
prey IN that manner. They feed on
small birds principally: But they
never catch jaybird. He is the snake
detective for the whole bird family
AS soon as blue jay sees a snake he
sounds the alarm. You can hear him
squall a quarter of mile. and he ar
tlcuIates the word snake as plainly
as L can. He will hop about on a limb
ana yell snake! snake!' in such a
thrill, excited voice that pretty soon
others of his tribe hasten to the scene,
and all join in giving the alarm. All
other birds, hearing this warning cry,
hy away, but the blue jay splits his
throat with cries until the enemy has
disappeared.
"A snake once caught blue jay by
charming him. The jay yelled Snake!
snake! at the top of his voice. Several
hundred blue jays flew to his rescue
and pecked the snakes eyes out, and
literally picked him to pieces, thus saw
ing the life of their companion. Ever
since that time the blue jay, upon see
ing snake, gives the alarm and all
blue jays within hearing will hasten
to the scent and lend their voices to
the warning. This may sound incred-
ulous, but it's true" said the narrator
IN conclusion. 'Not at all, but it's
good story to forget under the cir
cumstances," added the nervous young
man, who at once proposed the con-
sideration of the relation of the iocund
grape to the doctrine of metempsy-
Ghosts.
