A Three-Eooted Bear.

There is at least one bear in Han.
cock county travelling about on three
feet. Two men were out hunting
where there was a bear trap set ready
for the animals that made camping
somewhat dangerous.
During the night the men were
awakened by a growl and snarling
that betrayed the. presence of a great
bear. They found foot in the trap, a
huge foot. too, and it is thought the
animal to. which it belonged would
weigh over 500 pounds. The bear had
gnawed of its foot in its desperate ef.
forts to escape.-Lewiston Journal.

CAUGHT az A cARicArURE.
Tweed Arrested In Spain Through
One OF Nast's Caricatures.

One OF Nasto Caricatures.
No very strenuous effort had Jecn
made to find Tweed, but 1t became
known at last that he was somewhere
in Spanish territory.
As early as Sept. 30, Mast cartooned
the Boss" as q tiger, appearing from
cave marked Spain" Now, sudden.
ly, came another report-a cable
that one "Twid" (Tweed) had been
identified and captured at Vigo.
Spain. on the charge Of kidnapping
two American children"
This seemed curious statement.
for whatever may have been the boss
sins, he had not been given to child
stealing. Then came further news.
and the mystery was explained.
Tweed had been identified and ar.
rested at Vigo through the cartoon
"Twee-dle-dee and Tilden-dum." drawn
by Thomas Mast. The street gam.
ins"-to the Spanish office. who did
not read English-were two children
being forcibly abducted by the big
man Of the stripes and club.
The printing on the dead wall they
Judged to be the story Of Ais crime.
Perhaps they could even spell out the
word reward" in an upper corner.
Absurd as It all was, the identified.
ton was flawless. Tweed, on board
the steamer Franklin, came back to
America to die.
When hos baggage was examined
1t was found that he had preserved
every cartoon Mast had drawn Of him.
save the few final ones published after
bis escape, one Of which had placed
him again behind prison bars.-Pear.

Prospects Of War.

Gen. Andre, late French minister of
war, told the budget committee of the
chamber recently that he could not re-
duce the number of men called to the
colors. It was pointed out that last
year he was not so exacting. Last
year." replied the general, "the gov.
ernment was certain that France
would not be engaged in war for at
least eighteen months. At the present
time 1t is impossible for me to give
you the same assurance"

Dairy Notes.

Milk of different temperatures
should not be mixed.
With cows long in milk the butter
will come slow.
Butter should be exposed as little
as possible to the air from the time 1t
Is churned until marketed.
Care should be taken never to over
work butter as the grain and texture
should be preserved.
The churn should never be filed
more than half full, and then. II the
temperature Is just right, 1t will churn
readily.
A good thermometer and knowl.
edge of its use will generally over
come the difficulty Of the butter re.
fusing to come.
When butter is worked very dry,
the grains of salt lett in 1t are not
dissolved and remain, In a gritty con.
dition.
MIX should be set as soon as pos.
sible after being draFn from the COW
whether shallow orr deep sitting Is
followed.
When the churning proceeds too
rapidly as a result OF too high temper
ature. only part of The fat is solidi-
Aed. and the butter is soft and graasy.

Composition Of Mix.

Milk Is made up Of water and solids,
the latter varying from eleven to six
teen per cent and averaging about
thirteen per cent The solids are
again divided into fat and solids not
fat. The solids not fat dissolved in
water make q thin syrup or serum.
Fat will not dissolve in water. In milk
1t is found in the form of microscopic
globules, which vary in size from
$4,000 to 1000 of an inch in diame-
ter. The glObules in the milk of Jer.
seys and Guernseys are larger than
those Of Shorthorns and Holsteins. AS
the milking period Of a COW increases
they become smaller and much more
numerous. II drop of milk freshly
drawn from the udder is viewed
under a microscope the globules will
appear evenly distributed over the
field. After the milk has stood a while
they will group themselves in little
punches. II they are at the right tenn
perature to be sticky, they will run
together when agitated and may be-
come visible to the naked eye as but
ter granules. This Is the explanation
Of what takes place in churning.-

Taught Carp Meaning Of Words.

A Spanish naturalist, DR.. Ribera.
has proved that fish can hear and dis.

the carp in pond to come to the sur.

certain sentence. To other words. not
associated with feeding. they paid no
attention.

The Cow and the Hen.

The Cow and the Hen.
Hoard's Dairyman tells of two men
who took q COW census. In Pennsyl.
vania twenty-five farmers who were
patrons of creameries averaged net
profit Of $15.O6 per year for each COW
while twenty-five more made profit
Of 65 cents per COW. In Indiana the
best six out Of fifty averaged $21.O0
per COW per year. 1t is fair to as
sumo that these best cows were worth
from $45 to $50. Consequently 1t ap.
pears that 1t takes a good COW to pay
an annual profit equal to one-third Of
her value.
Wallace's Farmer has given through
its columns the records Of farmers;
flocks Of grade chickens that paid q
clear profit Of dollar per hen. II
put up at public sale many Of these
chickens would have sold from $500
to 5000 per dozen. It would seem
that the average hen, under average
conditions, will give profit Of twice.
her value, where the average cow,
under average conditions, will pay a,
profit Of about one.third her value
When we consider the difference in
the amount Of money invested We
wonder that farmers are SO slow in
giving the hen her due.

The last milk drawn from COW Is
much richer than the first. The last
quart usually contains more than
three times as much butter fat as
the first.
