CAPTAIN Perkins began his skunk farm
with three female and two male s6unks,
and at the end of five months found
himself the proud owner of thirty-four
baby skunks, nearly half of which Were
almost pure black. A few days later
the captain discovered that the father
sl1unks had eaten. up all their offspring,
so he built restricting fences when the
next filters came.
The skunks feed upon anything so
long as it is good, but they like grass
hoppers better than anything else At
ter being killed and skinned the skunk
IS roasted over a slow fire for its OIL
This usually sells for IS gallon to
druggists. The black skins fetch about
$1.25. A skunk viii yield from one to
three pints of oil. The average is about
a quart Last year western judge
gave a woman divorce because her
husband was a skunk farPer
The culture of 1eeches has grown con-
siderabiy within a few years and there
are now Ave Ieech farms in the country.
Many doctors still believe in the bleed

Leech farms in Europe are more prof
table than those here, however. The
European Ieech is an Unsuitable sucker
and will draw from half an ounce to an
ounce of blood all alone. One 1eech
farm consists of forty acres of meadow.
It was originally sowed with $4,000.
leeches. The crop had to have plenty
of water and lots of blood, so the farm
er turned in fresh blood from q nearby
slaughterhouse.
The Ieeches. If properly cared for,
are very profitable. A monopoly of
taking Ieeches in Morocco was once sold
for $4,000. Before Americans began
leech farming Australia used to export
to Europe and America 100000 leeches
per year. AT one time France alone
consumed 30,000.000 leeehes annually
A Vermont farmer makes 4,5o0 year

men who have private preserves Frank

newsboy. has accumulated fortune

Big Piney Creek at the foot of the
Rockies. and his first sale of elk was
to the late Austin Corbin. George

Goose farming is twice as profitable
as raising hens. An Indiana man who
started the first goose farm in the State
found that 1000 geese reared six gos-
lings each a year. At the end of the /
second year the farmer had $4,000 geese.
A pound of down sells for 81. and
pound of coarse feathers for SIS cents,
and every goose yielded half a round OF
each annually.

Several French dealers are coming
Line steamer MoItke to purchase stock
for an alligator farm in the south Of
France Alligator skin has become sc
highly priced throughout France thai
the animal dealers believe it win pay
well to raise the gators on this, the
first farm of its kind III the world.
Not long ago President Loubet re-
ceived a present of hunting suit Of
alligator skin, and the novelty of the
thing has been extremely advertised in
the French press The skin is said to
be growing scarcer each year. and there
is always great demand for it for boots
shoes, hand bags, writing pads, port
foiios and toilet articles
An animal dealer near the New YORK
CITY hall whose trade is confined 10 wild
beasts remarked the other day that
freak animal farms We're springing up
in hundreds of places throughout she
TTnited states. He said that he bought
an interest in a snake farm started by
a friend of his near Gallon, I'LL, a few
wears ago, and that it paid 30 per cssnt
-
dividend last year.
.Tnis snake farm explained the
dealer, :. is not for the purpose OF rals-
ing reptiles for exhibition purposes as
might be supposed. The cultivation OF
the snakes is for medicinal purposes
only. The farm consists Of seventy
three acres of virgin prairie There are
eighty mounds of earth prepared IN
such a way that the snakes use them
for nests, and there are dozen nests
10 each nnound A patent medicine
concern is the chief buyer of the snakes.
This firm alone took 500 snakes last
year at 1926 each. The contract with
the firm calls for snakes not less than
four feet in length.
1.-THE young snakes are as carefuiiy
cared for as If they were lambs some
mother snakes are neglectful ana 90
not property rear their young Inc
infant snakes are taken close to the
house on the farm, placed in one corner
of a good sized lot and fed with bugs
Several very large snakes are used as
household pets by the manager The
fanes are drawn of course The house
has always been oyerrun with mice and
the snakes make better mousers than
cats.
.aThe manager has one man to help
him in his work about the farm, and
the only precaution they take against

HEAVIEST MAN IN ENGLAND

Perhaps the heaviest p1an in Eng
land, possibly the heaviest man in the
world, is Mr.. william Thomas Eccie-
stone. the landlord of the Coach and
Horses, an old coaching house to the
north or London, on the main road TO
Harrow and Watford.
He weighs over forty stone, and his
measurements, especially taken by our
representative, are as follows:
Chest ,................6 feet Ia inches
Thigh ................2 feet IL ga inches
Calf .......-........-..1 foot 8 3-4 inches
Arm .....................2 feet 2 inches
Little Mary. feet inches
1t is a pedestrian tour to walk round
Mr. EceIestone. He is several inches
buikier than Jesse Amos Baker. the
American heavyweight, who was
buried at Preston the other day. and
who iA life claimed to be the heaviest
man on earth. Mr.. Baker weighed
forty-two stone, but his chest and
waist measurements respectively were
only feet 8 inches and 6 feet inch.
The chances are that Mr.. FceIestone
viii be heavier than Baker was in
year or so, for he enjoys splendid
health and a capital appetite.
Mr.. Ecclestone was not born TO great
ness, he had It thrust upon him, and
anti-fat preparations were in vain. AS
young man, the future giant was of
normal size. Today. at the early age
of AZ. he is among the great ones OF

He was born in Shoreditch, London:

ter, but strolling down to Billingsgate,
he shipped on a fish trawler as handy
boy. He was at sea for two years,
and finally a Boniface. Going to Cow
entry once, he could not get into the
carriages, and as the guard would not
allow him in the guards van he had
TO travel as luggage in the luggage
van.
When sleeping away from home he
always locomotives his bedstead care
fully. He has fallen through several
beds. Once he was staying with a
friend and. distrustir1g the bedstead,
suggested that it should be shored up
with empty boxes or any other handy
supports His friend derided the idea,
and declared that the bed was strong
enough to support any forty-stone
featherweight.

He has broken the springs of innurn-
cradle hansoms and carts.
