THE TANNING OF A TIGER.
How Clever Snowman Got the Best Of
Ferocious Man.Eater

The trainers Of wild beasts" saio
John Lover OF the Zoo, sometimes
show good deal of originality in de.
vlsing means to subdue intractable
animals. For instance, there was a
Snowman l used to know named Mel
chlor. He once bought for a song
magnificent Bengal tiger, getting
1t SO cheap because it had already
killed two men. This tiger had a fe.
rodous nature. Melchior at hrst would
put his foot or his hand into the cage,
but from the way it would leap at
him he knew that to put himself en-.
tirely in its power would be suicide.
Nothing he could do would establish
friendly relation between himself
and the tiger. Some originality was
needed. and Melchior showed it by
taking some old clothes stuffing them
with rags and throwing them in the
cage. The tiger in jiffy tore the
old clothes to pieces, thinking them
human being. Next day. and the
next day. and the next, Melchior con
unued to throw in to the tiger stuffed
ngures. and the tiger continued to
destroy them; only, as time passed,
the animal ceased to put heat into
It's work. and in the end. to make
long story short. it gave up altogether
these attacks on the scarecrows-it
would just play with them or else not
notice them at all. Now was Melchior's
t'me. He opend the cage door one
morning. walked in boldly and
slapped the tiger familiarly on the
back. It gave him friendly look
ana purred. 1t took him. you see. for
announcer mannilin. 1t lived seven years
with Melchior and finally died OF heart
trouble and through all those seven
years it was as gentle as kitten. A
child could have handled it."-Plila.

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for Time.
It's easy to understand how or6i
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex.
perience:
II had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me, although had palpitation
OF the heart every day.
"Finany one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me, and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead,
and since that time have had abso.
lutcly no heart palpitation except on
che or two occasions when l tried a
small quantity of coffee which caused
severe irritation and proved to me 7
1,ust let it alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc.
tions-but now we put little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and al
low the Postum to boil full fifteen min
utes, which gives 1t the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
Il have advised q great many of
my friends and patients to leave of
coffee and drink Postum; in fact I
daily give this advice" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
heir own homes and prescribe It to
patients. There's a reason"

One day, late in the autumn, a half
dozen farmers, coming fifteen miles,
drove into a prairie village with heavy
loads of corn. They went to the prin-
cipal elevators and asked the price.
Thirty cents a bushel to-day"
1--WE will go to the buyer at the 9TH
er end of the town." said the spokes-
man.
ut will do you no good" was the
reply, "as all the buyers pay the same
price here"
Very well; we will go home and
send our corr to market on foot"
They drove back fifteen miles and
aries, to be shipped later in the form
of fat cattle.
Such an incident would have been
impossible ten years ago, when the av-
erage farmer was compelled to take
what was offered for his crop. But
two things have worked a transfer
nation in the grain-growing portion OF
the West; the farmers have become
conservative with prosperity, and the
railroads have widened the markets.
Five years of good crops in the West
have not only paid the debts, but have
also made the farmer capable Of ON
ploying business methods. A few
years ago a settler visited town only
once a fortnight or once a month. He
took home with him the county papers,
the few magazines that he received
and a large bundle of groceries and
dry goods. With rural delivery and
rural telephone all that Is passed.
Under these conditions the Western
farmer has developed a independence
in the movement of crops d~isconcert-
ing to the market manipulators.-O.

AS to Farm Poultry.

1t Is very hard to make farmers I'm.
derstand how great their advantages
are in poultry raising. They will say
their time from crops that bring more
money. There Is something in this II
one has q crop which is profitable and
which Is brought to the marketing
point at small expense. 1t would be
folly to advocate that anyone drop 0
paying crop to take up something they
are doubtful about, but where there
are diversified interests on the farm
poultry can be made to pay more than
1t does.
The writer knows a man who has
one acre In a small town devoted to
poultry. He goes to a nearby city and
buys live poultry Of wholesale commits
sion men at the market price, ships
them home, fattens them and markets
them dressed in the towns near him.
Nine-tenths of the food consumed by
the fowls must be bought, and yet this
man makes a comfortable living out of
the work. This is one case Of many,
and If this can be done it is certainly
reasonable to claim that the farmer.
who can raise the chickens from eggs
and also the food consumed by them,
can turn the result on to the market
at a profit.
The II cause of failure Is not I'M
derstanding the needs of the fowls and
how to feed them to advantage. Learn
this by experience, and poultry raising
will be found one of the most profit
able ventures in which the farmer can
engage.-IndianapOlis News.
