sued him. and at night he wondered how his elephants were getting along in the hands of other men who did not love old life
 When the news came that one of his elephants had turned upon him at last and trampled out his life, it was a sur prise to every trainer in America. but on second thought it was no surprise at all. For though the elephant loves his master he never forgets an injury at the hands of anyone, and in a moment of blind rage, when he goes on a rampage for better treatment, he forgets all and tranples to death the first person he can reach.
 I notice that the same excuse of in- sanity is given in the case of the big ele- plant which attacked his keeper at St. Paul the other day The elephant was goaded into anger by neglect or by cruelty and after tearing down freight shed. turned upon Conrad Castens, his keeper, who tried to pacify him. Cast ems was seized, crushed to the ground and trampled upon, but fortunately, he was pulled out of the way in time to save his life.
 The cause of this elephants insanity it is said was the freezing of his trunk and ears. Now an elephants trunk and ears do not freeze easily. They are con- stantly in motion and there is always a circulation of blood in them. It may be true that the poor fellow had suffered from the cold, and was feeling ugly. But an elephant can stand great deal of cold. There were HannibaPs ele- plants that crossed the mountains in i the dense drift and binding sleet you | know. The elephants in Asia are fre-
 quently subjected to great cold. l "The males are generally the ugliest. They are sometimes ill-treated in their youth and never forget it. The females are seldom cross and always are kind and friendly unless ill-treated
 "A bad elelphant is better dead than alive. We had baby elephant here for instance, in Central Park When he was only three years old he used to show bad traits, and though everything possible was done to change his disposi- tion nothing would avail. At fifteen years he tried several times to kill his keepers, and we had to kill him.
 Every one remembers Tom, the big Central Park elephant, who was put to death here two years ago. He had gradually become more and more un- manageable till at last we had to get rid of him. He tried to kill several peo- pie about his house, and would probably have succeeded in the end. Tip was another elephant we had here who re- fused to be decent, and after several dangerous explosions we put her out of the way.
 Tt never pays to beat or punish an el- ephant. Kindness will always accom- plish more than blows. for an elephant understands kindness and does not un-
 derstand brutality. He resents it.-- 1 New York News.

the first are the children upon whom operations have been or are to be per- formed, and in the other are the chil- dren whose illness requires no surgery. In the former are children from two to seven years old, and the inmates of the latter are mostly very young infants some of them of premature birth--tiny, emaciated and unnatural looking.
 The finest child's hospital in the world has another provision which should not be overlooked, for it is a bon to mothers. When an infant too young to leave it's mothers breast is taken to the hospital the parent is permitted to remain with her child without cost. In a special ward devoted to mothers and their babies she sleeps in cot alongside the white crib of the child. As long as their babies are confined in the hospital the mothers live there,

NO CRAZY ELEPHANTS.
THEY MAY BE BAD, BUT ARE
 MEYER INSANE.
So says Zoo superin tendent smith, of Central Park-Talks Interesttngiy of Animals Who Have Kilied Trainers

Animals Who Have Killed Trainers
 s'I have known many elephants" said Superintendent John w. Smith, ot the Central Park zoo but I have never known one of them to become insane. And when the cable told of the killing or George Lockhart, the world famous elephant trainer, at Walthamstow, Eng ianl, by an insane elephant the other day I read it with a pinch of salt. Ele- phants do not go crazy. They go ugly sometimes, but always as the result of abuse. or for some other equally good reason.
 'Lockhart, who was over 60 years of age, came from an old English family if I remember rightly, and knew elephants we'll It was early morning, the i'll nat ured, drizzily early morning of an Eng fish country town The elephant was aroused from an early nap, no doubt, to be unloaded, and with the i'll temper of a man who has not had his rolls and coffee. he blindly turned upon the first man who appeared, who happened to be his old master and trainer, and crushed him to the ground with his head.
 sThe cable said that the brute crushed him with his great forefoot, but this must have been a mistake. For the animal never does that till he has bunt- ed his victim into the ground with his head like an angry bull. Then he tramples upon him with his feet and if not stopped generally flattens the victim out like a pancake.
 "That was the case with the man who was killed few years ago in Brooklyn bv the elephant Topsy. The man fol- lowed the circus around and took pleas ure in teasing the elephants. One early morning he walked down the line, and when Topsy put out her trunk for a morning pat he burned it with cigar. She seized him with her trunk, held him on the ground and bunted him into the clay with her immense forehead. No one blamed the elephant. It was the law of the jungle. But she was after ward killed at Coney Island for ugliness probably resulting from the temper that began to show when the man burned her trunk.
 'Lockhart was good trainer, but he paid the penalty that many circus men pay for choosing the life. The ele- phant is not an ugly brute. He is the friend of man, and in India and Thibet has been associated with humanity for more centuries than history tells us of.
 'sLockhart was well known in America and Europe, where throngs watched the antics of his elephants with wonder. He could make them do incredible things, the most approved society manners, wa1tzing and playing policeman. l think that he must have acquired con- siderable wealth in this profession for at one time in his life he retired from the ring and settled down to live in

A New Cattle Disease.

Within the last month DR.. Louis A.
Klein Of Clemson, the state veterin-
arian, has received letters from num-
Der Of farmers concerning a disease,
unfamiliar to them. which was causing
the death OF their calves and yearling
cattle. This disease was manifested
by the following symptoms: Gradual
loss of condition and strength, with the
animals feeding well; soft, sack-like
swelling under the jaw. which was not
hot or tender; scours: sometimes wa
terry discharge from the eyes. The ami
mails usually lived one to three months
after being attacked. Only young cat
tie were affected. even where the old
cattle used the same pasture and barn.
OF the cases reported only three re-
covered: On cne farm the young cattle
had been carried of in this way for
three years. Investigation OF the dis
ease has not been completed. but on
several farms visited it was found that
the trouble was caused by small worms,
one-half OF an inch long and about as
thick as hair. In fact, at first sight,
they had the appearance OF short white
hairs. but on closer examination the
larger worms show red stripe curl
ing through the body like corkscrew,
the red stripe on the white background
presenting the appearance Of a bar
6er's pole. These worms, which are
known as the twisted wire worm, were
found by thousands in the fourth stom-
ach Of the affected animal examined,
lying in the mucous OF the stomach
wall and scattered through the con-
tents of that organ. They live on the
blood and body juices Of the animal
they inhabit, thus depriving the animal
OF the nourishnient it should derive
from it's food.

not been any complaint from the mill

that some Of them claim that it turns

The Cabbage Crop.

An average crop Of cabbage is about
thirty tons per acre. This will re-
move from the soil in plant food 100
pounds nitrogen, 3G0 pounds potash
and POO pounds phosphoric acid, 80
that in calculating our fertilizer re-
o,lirpments, this gives us the key to
what kind Of fertilizer we want. A
good cabbage fertilizer would analyze:
0 to 10 per cent. potash, per cent.
phcsphoric acid, and 4 per cent. nitro
get. The muriatc OF potash is the
cheapest form in which to get the pot
ash. Some growers prefer the sui
phate. but the chlorine In the mur!ate
acts rs help to keep the cut WORM Ill
check. Nitrogen should be in the
shape Of nitrate of soda. particularly
on the earlier crops. as the organic FER
tiliZers are slower in their action, par
ticulurly early in the season. The best
organic nitrogen medium for this crop
IS castor pomace, which Is sure death
to all worms and slugS Of any species
in the SOIL The tendency among
number of cabbage growers to use
plosphoric acid and nitrogen only on
tlis crop has always proved disas-
.rous, for If there is any one crop that
must have a well balanced ration OF
plant food it is cabbage. and without
the potash this can not be given it.
In setting out the plants, choose
cloudy day, if possible. Run burrows
with small scooter 3R to feet
apart, as shallow as possible and in
this furrow set the plants about Is
inches apart. The plant bed should be
well watered before beginning to re-
move the plants so that considerable
moist soil will adhere to the roots, and
help the young plant to overcome the
shock of transplanting. A nat driil'
making a cut about 3 inches wide, Is
better for transplanting than a round
dibble, making q round hole. II the
soil Is somewhat dry ut transplanting
time. q little water should be poured
In the hole after the plant is put in
place. This will help it to start grow
ing. The after cultivation Of the crop
should be frequent and thorough, the
idea being to keep the plants on the
Jump all the time, for the quicker the
growth, the better the quality. and
quick growing plant is always thrifty
one. and is more apt to escape the
various diseases. blights. ETC.. that
come once in a while. Time and space
will rot allow me just to go into de-
tails of markets, marketing, etc., but
l will say, that when the crop is ready
to ship, send it as quickly as you can'
for it soon deteriorates if left too long
in the field after coming to maturity.
Gather the heads when dry. Never
ship wet cabbage. Put in crates, not
barrels, as they will heat in barrels
more readily than in crates. and do not
ship any culls. Feed them to the stock
or the poultry. Take care or your
reputation, and you will never need. to
regret growing a crop Of cabbage.
