narrowing cat story comes from q
Rocklard store. There are in the es-
tah,ishmeEt two female cats. each of
whom. about six weeks ago had A
family of four kittens They all lived
together in big box and the little fell
lows waxed strong and healthy. Tho
store also shelters u young male cat
about six months old. This cat is part
coon and as handsome an animal as
one would wish to SEE Ever since he
was presented to the firm he has been
notic"ably ferocious. His stealthy
movements are like thoS, of a panther
stalking his prey. The other day when
on" of the employees went to the box
with some milk for the kittens, he
found strange state of affairs. He
saw on approaching. the two mother
cats standing with their fore-paws on
the edge of the box looking excitedIy at
the inside. Stepping quickly. the man
looked down and beheld the male cat
crouchinS on the botto,,i dcvourinS tn.
remains of Cne Of the kittens with
tigcriSh ferocity. He lad deliberately
Killed the little fellow. The other kit
tens were huddled in fright at the Other
end OF the box. burrowing in the saw
dust. The two female cats had appar
emily made no attempt to protect their
young and dared not enter the box to
drive the intruder out. The male car
growled like wild BEAST over his prey
and it was with difficulty that he was
driven off.

IMPLEMENT MAKERS MEET.
SHOW GREAT EXPANSION or
FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL MA.
CHINERY TRADE.
Pass Resolutions For Land Law Re-
form-Against Giving Interstate
Commerce Commission Power to
Fix Railroad Rates.

A recent meeting of the National AS
sociation of Agricultural Implement
and Vehicle Manufacturers at Niagara
Falls brought forth number of inter
esting and important facts relative tC
the great progress which has been made
in recent years In the making of all
classes Of farm and working imple-
ments and also the great expanse OF
this class of trade abroad.
Since 1899, when our exports in this
line for the first time shot ahead of
those Of Great Britain, the United
States has been easily the heaviest ex-
porter of agricultural implements and
machinery in the world. Manufacturers
claim, and their efforts to secure for
eign markets seem to substantiate it,
that exports play most important
part In the successful conduct of agri-
cultural implement manufacturing.
The last census puts the annual value
of this class of production at $101, ,000,-
900, and 1t is estimated that the pres
ent years production is greater. This
