Value of the Quail.

The effort in several states to pro
tect the quail and multiply its num-
bers Is worth while. Careful investi'
cation has recently been made. and il
is found that this bird is one of the
most important in the United States
for the farmer. 1t is high time to STOP
the sportsman from finding his fun al
the expense of the workman. A let
ter from one of our most sensible or
nithologists says: why don't you say
more about the quail when you tall
about birds as farmers friends? In
my judgment there ought to be com
bined effort to bring this bird back in
to cooperation with agriculture"

LORD KiTcAENER's DEFEAT.

Quail Before Awful Frown.
From an Indian correspondent comes
the following story Of Lord Kitchen
er and a determined little lady OF
three or four summers. 1t happened
on board the ship conveying Lord
Kitchener to India. One afternoon
TX. OF X" was doing in his deck
chair, for even Homer mods awhile,
when the small maiden in question,
playing with her ball. perhaps by &C.
cident. perhaps by design, let 1t ny
into his lordship's face. whence 1t
rolled to his feet. Lord Kitchener
woke up and turned upon the child,
who by this time had approached
him. that .basilisk gaze before which
the hearts of strong men have often
turned to water.
But the child was in no wise abash'
ed.
"Pick up my ball." she said impera'
lively. Lord Kitchener frOwned and
answered not.
."Pick up my ball" reiterated the
small damsel insistently.
Haven't you got q nurse!' SAID
Lord Kitchener in an awful voice.
The interrogative mood was an
swered by the imperative.
"Pick up my BALI"
Lord Kitchener looked around des
pairingly but renforcements were no'
in sight. Where is your mother?' ne
said weakly.
"Pick-up-my-ball!" The ultima
tum was delivered in crescendo tones
which suggested the imminence o
something worse to follow, and Lore
Kitchener meekly complied. Then M

BEAST AND WIRE.
New Diversions Of the Animal King
dom In East Africa.

QOn w Cdet VI''Sa
The animal kindom In British East
Africa looks upon the 2lsO miles OF
telegraph wire strung through that re-
gion as an innovation To be utilized
The wires arouse curiosity and sum
ulate experimentation. A number OF
genera and no end OF species are try
ing TO find the adaptation OF the TEL
egraph to their special purposes ana
so the routine OF the telegraph pnsl'
ness is more or less crowded with In
cidents OF an unusual character, some
Of which are mentioned in the last
Official report, This speaks OF mon
keys M incorrigible. Many OF them
have been shot and thousands fright
ened. but they cannot get over the
idea of that the wires are merely
new facility for their athletic per-
formances in mid.air, They have ceas'
ed to pay much attention to the loo
omotive, and even the shrieks or me
whistle are not permitted to interfere
much with the fun OF swinging on the
wire. The wires are strung on the
same line Of poles for 5s4 miles be-
| tween the Indian Ocean and Victoria
Nyanza, giving an opportunity FOR
more complicated performances. the
| Kikuyu forest Is mentioned as a place
| where monkeys, in their evolutions
sometimes succeed in twisting the
wires together.
The gentle giraffe Is also source
OF annoyance. He sometimes applies
enough muscular energy to the Drack'
ct on which the wire Is fastened to
twist 1t around. stretching the wire
and causing It to foul with other
wires. The hippopotamus Is also a
nuisance because he rubs up against
the poles and sometimes knocks them
over.
These creatures, however, do not
steal the wire. Thievery was the
greatest evil with which the telegraph
builders had to contend and the evil
has only recently been suppressed
When the copper wire was stretched
northeast from Victoria Nyanza
through the Usoga country, the natives
cut out considerable lengths of It; and
at one time about 40 miles of wire
were carried away and never recover
ed Passing caravans found also that
they could help themselves along the
way by cutting the wire and using il
in the barter trade. The temptation
was great and not always resisted, fol
wire wCuld buy anything me natives
had to sell. A great deal of energ!
was expended in stamping out wire
stealing and it now seems to be
thing of the past.
Fifty-nine Offices are receiving ant
sending kilograms in British East AT
RIGA and Uganda. Wires connect thu
seacoast with Albert Nyanza, where
Emin Pasha was so long cut off from
the world by the Mahdists. Telephone
messages are constantly being sent be
tween Mombassa on the coast an,
Nairobi 1928 miles inland, and the tel
egraph business last year amounted
to 42,159 messages.

FEMININE DAIRY WISDOM.

Use plenty of land plaster. Clean
the stalls at least twice each day.
Utilize all food to help carry the cows
in winter quarters in the best of health
and thrift.
Sour Apples may, be fed. but very
carefully, as they sometimes make the
mouth sore.
Pumpkins fed with the grain will re.
suit in an increase in yield of milk over
grain fed alone.
The best evidence that a cow has the
right kind Of food and sufficient food is
sleek, soft skin.
Exposure to cold storms and short,
frost bitten pastures will reduce them
so much that the whole winter will be

Look out as the cold nights come that
the cows are: in their stalls and have
a good supply of fodder; all they will
eat up clean.
Let all the sunshine in the stables
that Is possible. Dark stables are al.
ways damp. Damp stables are an
abOmnation
The COW stable should be kept SO
