Fate of Queen of Bucks"

Many stories have been told of won
derful animals discovered by the various
native tribes of South Africa; in fact.
the folklore of the Transkei alone would
ill decent little library. And even ma
tive servants who have grown to regard
themselves as civilized 10y reason of their
daily contact with the white man are by
10 means free from superstition.
An instance has recently occurred at
Shlr'and, where the presence of Il white
sprinGbuck had become the center of II
vcritablc romance. The goatherds de
clarcd that miraculous halo surround
ed the animal; she was the Queen of
Bucks" and had been endowed with per
petual youth. If dozen bullets pierced
her body she would rise phoeniX-like FROM
the bushes. with wound healed, and en-
dowcd with double measure of vital
ity. Consequently when their 'baas,"
John f.. Hobson, announced his inten-
ton of calling 4 few friends together in
order to hunt the animal and secure the
skin and horns for the Port Elizabeth
museum, his swarthy rctainers stared
aghast and prophcsied dire disaster.
The coveted buck fell to Mr.. Hobson 5
rifle, and no misfortune resulted.-Graaff-

Plea for ORGANIZATION.

There seems to be no good reason
why an organization among farmers
for mutual benefit should not be as
successful as similar organizations in
other lines 1t is not intended that
such organization should increase the
cost of farm produce 10 the consumer,
for this is unnecessary. But there is
certainly room for plan which will
enable the producer to market his
crops Mt a price which will give him
a fair return for his labor.
The subject is too large to treat ex-
haustively in one item, for there are
many essential things to do TO make
such an organization n success The
idea is worth serious consideration,
but it must be based on business prin-
ciples, the lack of which has caused
the failure OF nearly every attempt ut
organization among soil workers. Here
are n few OF the things which must
be done to win success Every mem
Der should bear a proportion of the
expense in accordance with the pro-
portion of his crop to that of other
members, Crops of unequal quality
should be marketed on their merits.
In other words, the grower of infe-
rior fruit or any other crop, must not
expect to share equally with the man
whose shipment is of the first grade
The manager should be selected with
care and then he given proper control
If these few essentials seem too for
midable, work up to them by combin-
ing with one or two growers whose
crops are of the same quality as your
own and select a good commission
man and all work together. A year
or two in this line will give you faith
in the larger organization plan.-In-

Fertilizers Tested.

Bulletin No. 253 of the New York
Agricultural Experiment Station Gen
eva) gives the results of analyses of
commercial fertilizers for the spring
1904. There were collected 4Gs sam
pies representing 81 different brands.
While eighty-one of these brands fell
short Of their guarantees in nitrogen.
twenty whine brands in available phos-
phoric acid ana seventy-fve brands in
potash, general average of all shows
that the guarantee was exceeded in
these ingredients. Farmers who are
purchasing commercial fertilizers
should send for this bulletin in order
to ascertain the standing of the goods
they are using.

Small Yards for Poultry.

When it is not possible to supply n
range of considerable size for the
fowls and they must be practically
kept in yards, an excellent plan is to
divide the yard into two or three sec
lions, according to its size. and treat
them in the following manner: Plow
or spade each yard, and in one or two,
If divided into three spaces, plant some
early vegetables that will require some
cultivation - radlshes, for example
When the crop is taken out, turn the
fowls into this yard and plant the
Others in the same way. When the
yards are divided into three, one of
them may be prepared thoroughly and
grass seeds or oats or millet sOwn in
it. with the vegetables in the second
yard, while the fowls occupy the third.
When the grass or small grain gets
two or three inches high, turn the
fowls in this yard and SOW the soil in
the yard they occupied, in like man
ner, BY the time they have cleaned
out the grass lot, the one in which the
vegetables are grown will be ready for
them to scratch over. 1t is surprising
how well the fowls will do under this
plan, even though each yard is very
small.

The Vinegar Process.

Cider turns to vinegar, first, by the
sugar being converted into alcohol, and
next by taking more oxygen, when 1t
becomes vinegar. The process is n
chemical one and cannot be prevented
as long as the least quantity of oxy-
gen lin the air. reaches the cider. Bac-
terial agents, however. have something
to do with the changes that occur.
Salicyl!c acid is used for keeping vine
gar, but it does harm. Boiling the eli
der also rctards changes. A method
used in Canada with good results is
to filter the cider, put 1t In a clean new
tub and expose it to the dense fumes
Of burning sulphur in a box having n
lid, closing the lid for half an hour
and repeating the process two or three
times. The sulphurous acid gas is alb
sorbed by the cider (Which should he
cold, and prevents fermentation with
out injuring the cider.

Lighting the Barn Safely

One cannot be too careful using
lights of any kind in barns, but there
is little danger if lantern is used and
some way provided so that it may be
securely hung beyond the reach or
danger The illustration shows SIM
pie way of doing this. If there are
several places In the barn where light
is likely to be needed stretch strand
Of smooth fence wire so that it Will
hang taut over these places first slid
ing on another strip of wire with
ring and with a snap at the other end.
When the lantern is to be put in place
simply snap over the bale of the Ian
tern as shown in the illustration.
If the lantern is TO be placed where
there is little chance of any one run
ming against it, long hoop may be
made of one end of the wire, instead
of the snap, and the bale of the Ian
tern slipped over it. BY making the
hook long and pinching the upper end

JACK RUMSEY'S SECRET FOR

A great deal Of fatigue and anxiety is
housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end Of every freight
train and shares i'll every JOLT of the
string of heavy cars that precedes it ON
the rails. The men in il are good, hearty
fellows who bear cheerfully the hazards
connected with the great problem of
transportation. They nre astir night

the sympathics Of tons of thousands of

CARNEGIE THROWN DOWN.
His Proposed Gift Spurned Because of
String Attached to It.

With the departure of Prof. Agassiz
from New York for Panama comes the
denouement in an unsual incident. 1t
has to do with the case of the Harvard
professor, who will spend $4,000 out of
his own pocket rather than surrender any
scientific credit which he believes right
fully belongs to him, and of the first case
Of a downright refusal TO accept $4,000
from Andrew Carnegie, which was Of
fered on condition that Carnegie's name
be given to the expedition
1t is true the Harvard professor was
asked if he could suggest any use for
Carnegie funds IN decp-sea sounding work
and replied cuurteously telling of plans
for work in the Pacific. The promise
was made him of at least $4,000 for
work along such lines.
The work on the expedition was being
pushed rapidly when the statement came
implying Il consideration of $4,000 cash
down and prospect of $4,000 more TO
be expected if the expedition should be
known to the public rs the Carnegie
Agassiz expedition
Prof. Agassiz Informed the trustees OF
the Carnegie fund that the negotiations
would go no further. The money must
be found elsewhere.
The work has been pushed and the
money has been found. The $4,000
comes from Prof. AGassiz himself.
IrlcllCHllN all the expenses OF llt tElp
from November until March, except the
ordinary expenses of maintaining the
Albatross in commission, will be met by
