AN EXPERT ON THE ZEBRA.
Apparent Viciousness of the Animal
Is Attributed More to Tim
idity and Fear.

No one in this country knows more
about zebras than Walter Rothschild.
member of parliament, for that distin-
guished naturalist has had so mucn
practical experience with them that he
has even driven team of four in the
streets of London, says the London Daily
News. Speaking about the experiments
which are now being made in tanning
the two zebras at the geological gardens,
Mr.. Rothschild said he had no doubt
whatever that Jess and her mate could
be rendered docile enough to carry chill
dren about the grounds. Three or four
years ago." he said, L tanned four. But
mine were the wild, little South African
animals, and they are much more in
tractable than the Greyy or Abyssinian
ones like those at the zoo. | had always
heard that the zebra was savage, danger
Gus and untamable. They certainly will
kick and bite most furiously. But I
found that it all arises from fear. All
animals of the horse kind are naturally
nervous, and the zebra, believe. is the
most timid of them. You have first to
convince them that there is nothing to
be afraid of, then they will let you ap-
proach and handle them. In fact T
think they like it, once they know there
is no danger. But they never get over
their natural nervousness.
THAT was very noticeable with the
team drove. At first drove them with
pony, and then got the four to work
together 1t was thought that they
would be unmanageable in town, so
brought them from Tring to London
l at once found they went better in the
crowded streets of London than in the
country roads. The reason was simple
enough In the country, if bird flew
| out of a hedge, or some slight thing hap
pened, or a noise arose that was new to
| them-well, there was trouble In Lon
don they evidently put all the noises
down to what they could see passing
about them, and they were delightful to
manage
'As to vice, l do not think they pos
sess any if they are caught wild, as mine
were. Of course, they would seem vi
cious, for if they were standing and a
stranger passed they would certainly
kick or bite. at him, especially if he
| touched them; but that would be fear.
| Those reared in captivity, however, are
sometimes vicious because their natural
tempers have been ruined by Enclosure
and the tormenting done by visitors
Il had one which had been born at the
ZOO and afterward brought up as pet.
1t was so tame that it would follow you
| like a dog. But nothing could be done
with it. The moment you tried to har-
ness it it lay down. Yes, they are cutter
than old donkeys.
Certainly none that ever had could
have been trusted with children, but
those at the ZOO, l fancy, ought to give
no trouble in that way, so long as there
are proper arrangements for mounting
and dismounting; and, of course, a
groom would always be at the animals

HERBS ARE PASSING AWAY.
Measures Required to Prevent Exter-
mination of the Chief Me-
dicinal Plants.

The approaching determination of our
chief medicinal plants, unless measures
are taken for protecting and cultivating
them, is predicted in the Journal of
Pharmacy by DR.. Kraemer. Says the
British Medical Journal in a notice of
this article:
Some Well-knOwn plants as spigella,
serpentaria and senega, which in the
time of Linnaeus were found in album
dance in Maryland and other Atlantic
states, are already becoming scarce. 1t
is we'll known that some plants have
been improved by cultivation, and it
may reasonably be supposed that all
can be when the peculiar requirements
of each have been ascertained. DR..
Kraemer urges a study of these plants
in the natural surroundings in order that
they may be successfully cultivated and
conserved. Many of the medical plants
now in use are being cultivated in the
United States. 1t is stated that 10000
900 pounds of peppermint are produced
annually near Kalamazoo, Mich. Cas-
tor beans, from which castor oil is OBJ
middle states. Valerian is produced i'll
Vermont. Digitalis purpurea, atropa
belladonna, sanguinaria canadensis,
cimicifuga racemosa and many equally
valuable plants have been raised expert
mentally in America, and, in DR.. Krae-
mer's opinion, could be grown success
fully with the proper cultivation. He
urges the further cultivation of certain
plants-such as SIENNA, colocynth, gen.
tan. poppy, etc.-which have been in
troduced into the United States and
grown there to some extent He be-
lieves that three-fourths of all medicinal
plants are grown either wild or in Gull
tivation in the United States and that
fully one-half of the remaining fourth
could be successfully raised there. He
points out that Americans must realize
the necessity of protecting their forests
and plants and must consider their care
and preservation duty both to them
selves and to future generations"

COULD HEAR I'M GERMAN.
A. Horse That Was Not Used to In

IT bought horse at an auction not
long ago, said an Eighth avenue butcher,
according to the New York Press, "and |
thought [ had got bargain until | tried
him, few days; then | concluded that |
had been stuck. The horse was sound,
had good sight but he would not obey
commands. He would not stop when the
driver said 'Whoa!' nor start when he SAID
Cit up!' The animal seemed to be deaf,
and the first chance | got | sold him to a
German baker at a sacrifice.
Shortly after that | met the baker, and
he shook my hand cordially and expressed
himself as being very. much pleased with
the horse [ had sold him. | wondered at
this and asked if the horse seemed to have
any difficulty in hearing. To my surprise,
the baker said the morse could hear as
well as any horse he ever had.
. Does he stop when you say "Whoa!'
and start when you say Git up?"
asked.
"''Oh, MOI exclaimed the baker, I don't
say dot! | talks to him in Gernan!'
THAT horse must have belonged to a
German before he was put up at auction.
That is the only way | can account for his
actions"

Goat Fills Important Place.

The goat is the poor mans COW. The
ordinary family in the city may have
q supply of the best milk in the world
at a nominal cost, by keeping goat.
The animal will browse in the back
yard and back alley. 1t will eat any
thing and everything. Of course what
it eats manifests itself in the milk. The
average family throws away enough
apple, tomato and turnip parings, with
other waste from the table, to keep a
goat in good condition. The goat will
eat the labels off tin cans in going
after the paste, but there is no record
that he ever ate the can itself The
goat must have exercise. If her range
is not large, a ladder placed in the
backyard will serve her purpose ad-
mirably, and she will prove her sure
footedness in clambering over it. For
the best results the goat should be
MIXED three times a day, though not
at all necessary unless convenient

Tx. u. S. Senator M. G. Butler from
L. South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.
from Washington, d. c., says:
"Ican recommend Peruna for dyS-
pepSia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for a ShOrl
period and 4 feel very much relieved.
It's indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. "---M. c. Butler.
The only rationalway to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leavesthe stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bron chial tubes, Peruna curesit. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as we'll in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because 1T is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.

A Massachusetts lady who has been
through the mill with the trials of the
usual housekeeper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
Il can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all
cereal foods in my family, young as we'll
as old. 1t is food and medicine both to
us. A few mornings ago at breakfast
my little boy said:
Mamma, does the king eat Grape
Nuts very morning?'
81 smiled and told him did not know,
but that thought Grape-Nuts certainly
made delicious dish, fit for king.
Cts fact that the king of England and
the German emperor both eat Grape
Nuts,)
Il find that by the constant use of
Grape-Nuts not only as morning cereal
but also in buildings, salads, ETC., made
after the delicious recipes found in the
little book in each package it is proving
to be great nerve food for me, besides
having completely cured long standing
case of Indigestion" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food in
place of improper food will show in
steady, strong nerves, sharper brain
and the power to ego" longer and further
and accomplish more. There's a reason.

the following letter:

Mr. Manning's letter is a strong recon-
mendation for Dodd's Kidney Pills and is

HELPFUL DAIRY NOTES.

Milk should be separated before the
temperature falls, as at the tempera-
ture at which it is drawn separation is
easy.
Milk cans filled with milk cool faster
in water than in air at the same tenn
perature, as the water is a better con-
ductor of heat.
Most stables have too much cowy
odor in them to make it safe to keep
milk in the stable after it is drawn
or to do the separating in that place.
Some men separate their milk in the
stable and say that if the stable is not
clean enough for that operation it is
not clean enough for the operation of
milking.
The practice of sending milk to the
creamery without straining it should
be discontinued. The strainer is of
value yet, even though separators are
used in creameries.
If a man does not want to take time
to wash his cows before they are
milked, rubbing the udders with a.
damp cloth will do some good, and is
not a time-Wasting operation.

CART FOR A SPRAY PUMP.
An Idea Whose Value Will Be Recog-
nized at a Glance by Owners
of Large Orchards.

We have over 5000 trees to spray. To
save time and money it was necessary
to have an easily handled wagon to
carry our spray pump and barrel to and
from the orchard and among the trees.
The two-wheeled low-down box cart
shown comes nearer an ideal spray pump
conveyance than anything that l know
of. With it you can get under and
among the lowest branches of the
peach, plum and pear trees. The bar
rel is easily filled with material, and
the man operating the pump is prac-
tically on the ground all the time.
One of these carts can be built at
little expense If new wheels are not
in reach, take pair of old implement

Why Some Trees Are Barren.

Fruit growers are frequently met
who condemn certain varieties as the
result of their own experience. In
many cases could be named a large
number of orchards that have proved
fiat failures where the difficulty was
the result of carelessness in planting
solid blocks of single varieties. 1t is
a well-known fact among scientific as
well as practical men that many vari-
cites are self-sterile. 1t is, therefore
necessary to have other varieties bios
sorhing at about the same time inter-
mingled in the orchard to produce
fertilization, and consequently prof
liable and paying crop. Farmers who
contemplate planting orchards cannot
be too careful about this matter
