An Antelope That DvelIs In swamps.
The general idea Of an antelope pic
lures it as swift runner, fleeing I'm
graceful bounds over stretching brown
plains. There Is an antelope In the
Congo region, however, which rarely
ventures to the upland, but actually
lives in water, spending practically all
Of its time wading around In the
swamps and feeding on swamp growth,
such as papyrus and other water
plants.
This swamp antelope represents
among animals what the heron and
other Wading birds do among birds,
and hike these wadtng birds the swamp
antelope has extraordinarily long and
thin legs, while its hoofs are wonder
fully long and spread out almost as
wide as birds claws when the animals
wade In the mud, thus supporting them
on the soft bottom.
These swamp antel0pes are by no
means small animals, but belong TO the
larger forms Of their species. A full
grown male is as big as the buck OF the
fallow deer In Virginia.

The Peruvlana' sacred Number.

The Peruvians cared nothing for any
OF the supposed mystic properties OF e.
Their three, Eve or seven. To them the
four was sacred, and around 1t they en-
twtned the main features or all their
religious ceremonies and queer beliefs.
They believed the earth to be a square
divided Into four parts and suspended
from the heavens by four cords one az
each of the four corners All OF their
cities were quartered By four principal
streets running from a square in the
center. They held four annual feasts
In honor Of the moon, the silver sister
of the sun"
To them eternity was 10 be divided
into four periods OF time, each COM
posed Of four times 1000 years, and at
the end OF each Of these cycles the sun
is to be blotted out Of existence. They
prayed to the four winds, or to I'VE
gods that dwell at the four corners OF
the earth" To them the rains came
from four enormous heavenly turtles
that vomtted dampness, and the four
winds from the lungs OF the four gi-
gantic caryatides which stand at the
four cardinal points of paradise. The
above are but small portion OF the
tours alluded to In the legends OF the
Incas.

10 Develops Bad Flavor When Allow

The best acidity for cream ready 10
chuYn Is between FIVE and six tenths

may run somewhat above this; but,
as rule, II i best to churn the cream
little before It develops six-tenths

ton Of the Wisconsin Dairy school in
American Agr1culturist. Cream ought
not to stand very long after it has
reached six-tenths per cent acid, be
cause, although the acidity will not In
crease very much, bad fiavors may de-
velop In such sour cream. At some
factories cream often comes In during
the afternoon with an acidity OF six
tenths per cent, and such cream ought
to be cooled at once and churned as
soon as possible after it has become
cold.
! am acquainted with a gathered
cream factory where the cream comes
In In the afternoon, and 1t is very sour
during the summer months, nearly al
ways having at least six-tenths per
cent acid when 1t arrives. 1t is all In
by about 9 p. M, and the buttermaker
adds large pieces Of ice to the cream
in the vat, stirs for nearly two hours,
then puts the cream in the churn
and does not get, through making the
butter until IL O'Clock at night Both
he and the proprietor of the factory
have found that by this practice they
are able to save many of the losses on
the butter that they had to stand be-
fore adopting this method. It seems
that sour cream deteriorates very rap
Idly and that 1t ought to be churned as
soon as the souring process has reached
six-tenths of per cent acid.

SILAGE AND THE SILO

Roots are good succulent feed, but
when we come TO compare them with
silage they are not in 1t, says L. w.
Lightly TN National Stockman. A ton
OF sugar beets furnishes go pounds
Of dry matter, q ton of mangels 1872
pounds and a ton Of good silage at
least 4S0 pounds, and from my ex-
perience land some other growers re-
port the same) can grow and harvest
three tons OF corn silage with the same
work and cost that it requires to grow
and harvest one ton of roots.
In the feeding experiments made at
the Ohio and Maine experiment sta
tons tt was found that the feeding
value OF the dry matter of roots and
silage was nearly the same, but what
difference existed was nearly always
In favor of the silage Now, how do
we stand? It takes two acres Of roots
to grow as much feed as one acre Of
corn, and II costs three times as much
to grow and harvest it; therefore ton
Of root feed viii cost about six times
as much as ton OF silage feed.

would be from corn matured so that

It would be best If 1t were cut In the

A good cream separator costs from

milk tn pans is said to be 20 per cent
Of the butter fat. If COW will make

Ringing bells to swarm bees.

1t is foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing OF bells or Hanging OF tin
pans viii cause a swarm OF bees TO
settle, says Country Life In America.
The real origin OF this custom dates
back to the reign of Alfred the Great,
who, In order to prevent disputes re-
garding the ownership or swarm, or
dered that the owner should always ring
bell when his bees sWarmed, and ever
since then the good farmers wife has
been rushing out with ringing bells
whenever the bees swarmed, and the
fact that they settled verified, In her
own mind, the belief that the bell did 1t.

THE SACRIFICE.

There was sometimes practiced
among the IroQuois game which bore
a certain resemblance to the casting
of dice, as the latter is known among
civilized peoples. The method of the
play was simple. Two oblong polished
bones, of the bigness of a mans finger,
were used as the dice. The ends of
these were ground thin and were rude
ly polished. One Of the dice was
stained red, the other left white. The
players In the game marked out line
on the hard ground, and then each in
turn cast up the two dice into the air,
throwing them from some receptacle.
The game was determined by the fall
ing of the red bone, he who cast this
colored bone closer to the line upon
the ground being declared the winner.
The game was simple. and depended
much upon chance. II the red die fell
fat. upon its face at a point near to
the line, 1t was apt to lie close to the
spot where it dropped. On the other
hand. did 1t alight upon either end, it
might bound back and fall ct some lit
