of the trimming effects are arranged

Why Men Die Fast.

So called big men-statesmen warriors, professional and business msn-go all to pieces in an hour. says he. And the why and the wherefore? They know. We know. Everybody knows, and yet nobody cares. The world says. let them die. there are plenty left. The man who stuffs like a pig. drinks like a fish and loafs like a hobo will collapse. The man who lives fast dies fast.

 After each calf had learned to go pretty well alone, we decided to take the two together. We had made wooden bar about two feet long. with a metal snap at each end, and we linked the two young animals together by their halter rings But the moment we attempted to lead them. they rushed away, got their feet over the wooden bar, and tied themselves in such knot that we were tired when we finally got them apart again The bar was after wards found to be very useful for an- other purpose. but we never attempted to lead them with 1t again. The next time we took them out together. we passed the halter rope of one through the halter ring of the other, and after they had been tangled up a few times. they went very well indeed, walking and trotting along side by side for three miles on the road.
 When they had been out together half a dozen times. we procured a yoke. and, after scrimmage lasting perhaps IS minutes. vs succeeded in yoking the two together. The halters were on their heads. and a rope vas attached to each halter. As soon as the yoke was fairly adjusted. ve let go their heads, and away they vent to the ends of the ropes.

TANNING BUFFALOES
ATTEMPT TO PUT CALVES LIN.
 DER A YOKE.
One with Halter Trots Sedately, Going from Home, But Returning
 Is Not Easily Managed-Yok- ing Two Together.

As soon as the buffalo calves which I had received from Corbin park were reasonably tame, and showed that they were likely to live and thrive on cows milk, two strong little leather halters were ordered, and the work of breaking the young bulls was begun. My farmer neighbors smiled broadly when told them what was going to do, and proph- esied that there would be fun enough to go around, long before those buffalo calves were broke"
 The first thing to be done was to adjust the halters, with view to halter breaking the sturdy little beasts. Now, buffalo calves are afraid of everything they don't understand, so naturally they are afraid of great many things, hal ters included, and they were not dis posed to allow me to approach while l had one of these dangerous looking ar ticles in my hand. However, when the animals were hungry, and taking their milk, they would allow one to take many more liberties with them than they would at other times; so, after letting one of them taste his milk, pushed the bottle through the nose strap of halter and held 1t out to him again. He was suspicious at first, but hunger got the better of him and he took the nipple in his mouth. As he sucked away, gradu- ally drew the bottle back through the nose strap, and as gradually his muzzle followed it until, at last, my editor friend who was with me had nothing to do but buckle the other strap about the neck, and the deed was done. AS soon as the calf had finished the milk, he mo- ticed a strange feeling about his head, and he galloped away like mad, to try to get rid of it. But it stayed with him, so he jumped in the air and shook his head violently, but very soon he be- came used to the new sensation and went to grazing as usual. The other bull acted much in the same way, and left the halters on them both, that they might become thoroughly used to them.
 As the calves grew heavier every day, it became more and more difficult to pull them along when they braced their hoofs in the ground. got over the diffi- culty to large extent by having another man walk behind me on the road, where upon the calf which was being led trot- ted by my side with seldom show of resistance. But as soon as we turned, he seemed to know that he was going back to his companions, and it required plenty of muscle to prevent runaway. Once, when about mile from home with one of the calves, the halter slipped off his nose, and he was held only by the strap around his neck. It took about a second for him to find out that some thing was wrong. and he set of down the road, using every ounce of strength he possessed, and believing with all his might. I was obliged to let him have some of his own way, for knew that, if he ceased pulling straight ahead, the neck strap would come over his head

WOMEN HELP BOIL WEEvIL
Birds That Are Killed for Their Hats Are the Worst Foes of h.
 sect Pest.

woneh's hats and birds egg collec- tions are helping the destructive boil weeyil to multiply. It may reach a point where the feminine world will have to be content with no cotton and plenty of hat feathers, says the New York World.
 Experts from the United States gov ernment have been studying the de- crease of useful birds in Texas. and find that the scissors tail. the worst enemy of the boil weevil, has been butchered right and left for years by people who hunt 1t for feathers to adorn women's hats. Collectors of birds eggs have robbed its nests till few are matched yearly.
 Henry Oldys, acting in charge of bird and game preservation for the hiologi- cal survey of the agricultural depart ment, sent the Texas Audubon society the following facts as to the useful bird mentioned above:
 The scissors-tailed fycatcher fmus- civora forhcata) Is a bird about the size 0n bodyD of a bluebird, but with a tail nine or ten inches long.
 The bird is conspicuous in flight owing 10 a habit it possesses of open ing and shutting the feathers of the tail with a lateral motion. from which it's name of ''seissors-tail' has been giv- en it
