Audrain farmers. it is a little
early, but you might begin now
some planning for next year. Put
some manure on your lands this
fall; don't take away from the
soil and never pay back; your soil
will soon become poor at such a
pace. Plan to never, any year,
plant more acres than you can
properly take care of in the way of
cultivating because you wish to
have a "bigp crop.

Lovemaking In Mexico.

In northwest Mexico the counting is
all done by the lady. The young people
meet at the feasts, and there the dam
sci who has fixed upon a member Of
the opposite sex whom she wishes to
become her husband tries to attract his
attention by dancing before him, per-
sistently keeping her back turned to-
ward him. Eventually she may sit
down near him and pull his blanket
and sing to him in gentle, low voice.
When she desires to bring matters to
focus, she begins to throw pebbles at
the chosen one. If he throws them
back at her, they are betrothed.

The Wild Giraffe.

Perhaps the most difficult of all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe. In
addition to being very rare giraffes are
exceedingly timid and are very swift
footed. There is no special way to cap
ture giraffe, as almost every way has
been tried, and all have been almost
equally unsuccessful. The methodwhic
ha., occasionally resulted in a capture
is by using long cord, at each end of
which is round weight This cord is
thrown by the hunter in such a manner
as to wind round the animals legs,
either bringing it to the ground or rem
dering it incapable of escaping before
it is made prisoner. Most Of the
giraffes in captivity have been caught
by chance when young.
