 "The rest of the outfit picked Bill's body up and carried it to the wagon silently. There was hardly a word spoken all night. and the next day the remains of Bill were taken to the ranch and buried.

The Belgian hare craze has gone by,
after making comfortable fortunes for
some of those who took up breeding and
importing at the commencement of the
boom. The hare is now taking its place
largely as a meat producing animal, al
though the stories told about it in this
direction are greatly exaggerated. But
there is a small and possibly growing
demand for the meat, which is Of high
quality. The hares attain market size
at about six months of age, but make
good eating at four months old. AS
they are as easily kept as sheep, and
the feed may be very similar, they are
cheaply raised, and a pair or trio of
breeders may be profitably kept on
many places.-Orange Judd Farmer.

yard in California was injured in the
face by some bits of steel from broken
tool. The surgeon failed to extract all
the pieces and the wound inflamed. The
chief electrician then improvsed mag
net capable of lifting 500 pounds and
held it in front of the boys face when
the remaining bit of steel flew out of
the wound as promptly as if it had been
