AGE OF A COMMON CROW.
Tag Would Indicate That One Lived
More Than Twenty Years.

George McCarren, a farmer living
near this city, has just received a
much priced little aluminium plate
marked as follows: Return to
George McCarren, Orryille, Ohio"
with which an interesting story is con-
nected.
George McCarren, ST., father of the
man who received the little billet OF
aluminium, was an eccentric natural
list, and spent much time in the study
of birds and insects. During McCar-
ren'S youth, about twenty years ago, ne
says he remembers being told by his
father, the elder McCarren, of dis
pute the latter had had with a fellow
naturalist of Akron, Ohio, as to the
age to be attained by a common crow,
and finally to settle the matter Nc
Carren attached an aluminium tag to a
crow captured in the fields and sent
the bird forth with the plate securely
fastened to it's neck by wires. The
legend on the plate requested the
finder to return it to McCarren in case
anything should happen to the bird.
AS McCarren, jr, remembers it, the
two men made a bet as to whether the
plate would be returned within twenty
years. If the crow was killed or died
they counted on the little billet being
found and returned to the address on
the plate. If this were not returned
they believed it would be sufficient evil
dence that the bird would be still
alive. McCarren bet that the plate
would not be returned within that
time; hence he won the bet. The crow
was shot by a farmer boy named
Anglers in Holmes county recently
and the billet returned to the son of the
bettor, the elder McCarren having died
before he could realize the proceeds
and the satisfaction Of winning his
wager. The little billet is highly
priced by the McCarrens as me
mento of the fathers eecentricity.

Young Fish Make Short Work of
Mrig glers."

Last March some 400 whitefish were
born in the hatchery of the New York
Aquarium, and they have now grown
to an average length of about two
inches. Naturally such little fishes,
when born under the conditions of ma
ture, would feed on minute forms of
animal life usually present in water.
but in the Aquarium it was necessary
to provide food collected by man. First
they got herring roe chopped up very
fine and strained through cheesecloth.
Later they were given finely chopped
liver, but now they are partaking of
fish delicacy In the way of mosquito
larvae.
For two or three years the aquarium
has had a mosquito exhibit, showing
the various interesting periods in the
| life of mosquito. One of these. fam
Iiliar to most of us, is the wriggler of
the rain-water barrel and Of stagnant
1 pools and ponds. The aquarium col
lector often comes across places where
lperhaps a half a hundred thousand
wrigglers can be scooped up In gallon
of water, and so 1t has been no difficult
matter to provide an ample supply OF
| live food for the tiny white fish, and
other babies of the finny tribe being
artiicially reared.

CARE OF LIVE STOCK IN
TRANSIT,

Secretary Wilson's late visit to
Chicago to inspect the incoming stock
trains and the manner in which they
are loaded with cattle will, it is
stated, bring about an improved con
dition in the handling of interstate
shipments of livestock. Mr.. Wilson
gave the Livestock and Railway Com
mittee, appointed to confer with him.
to understand that while he expected
them to obey the law, his department
had no intention of unduly hampering
shipments, and that he would modify
certain existing orders; but he de-
manded of them in return that they dc
everything in their power to make live
stock shipments still more humane.
Speaking of the condition of cattle
arriving in the yards, Secretary Wilson
said:
sThey appeared to have been well
cared for. The department is not try.
ing to impose hardships on the railways
or the shippers, only to secure the
best care for the stock sent out on the
hoof. The railways have not observed
the law, in my opinion, as closely as
they might have done, but am now
assured that they will do so, and are
anxious to cooperate with the
government. If they do so, we will
have no more trouble over this CUES
tion.s

perts comes as a thing long looked for
and greatly to be desired. They have
had dreams of bees that could be
handled without gloves or masks,
without smudge or smoke, and with as
little regard of stings as though they
were handling but common flies. 1t is
true that some bees are more anna BILE
than others, and with many persons
where care is not taken to avoid all
stings the system eventually becomes
accustomed to the poison, SO that be-
yond momentary pain a sting causes
little or no inconvenience.
Has a Singer; but Never Stings.
OF the races already in general
cultivation, the Carniolans are the gen.
test but the gentle bee now ex-
plotted by the Department is the most
amiable honey-giving insect of all,
and is practically stingless, although
he has a sting. This bee is the dis
covery of Mr.. Frank Benton, the
ApiaPist of the Department of Agri-
culture, who was instrumental in hav-

another of about 40 colonies is located
on the roof of store in the business
portion of Cincinnati, Ohio, and from
which 80 to 40 pounds of honey per
colony are usually obtained each year.
Mr.. Benton, in speaking of the pres
ent methods of bee culture, stated
that it is always desirable to have gen
tie bees, but that other essentials are
a good smoker and veil of black
bobinet or Brussels net, to draw over
the hat, and a pair of gloves, preferably
of rubber, may be used at first. These
appliances may be safely dispensed
with if the gentlest bees are kept.

Rational Forest Cutting.

The rules and regulations adopted by
a large lumber company in Louisiana,
which has seen fit to cooperate with
the Bureau of Forestry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, provide for the
cutting of its timber so that the supply
will never be exhausted, only the sur
plus trees being cut, and for the plant
ing of all cleared areas in young trees,
constantly coming forward to maturity.
While our present timber consump-
ton is far in excess of the supply of
maturing trees, it is stated by the
Bureau of Forestry that if similar
system of forestry were applied to all
American forests, it would insure an
ample and continual supply Of lumber
for the needs of the nation.

USE OF HERBS DECLINING.
Good Old Remedies Our Grandfathers
Dug in Woods Have Passed Away.

Dug in Woods Have Passed Away.
In the village of Greenwich, England,
in a quaint old street where the build
ings are so thick that they tangle
themselves together in knot, there is
a queer little shop with sign over the
door that reads, "An Herb for Every
Pain"
On the shelves of this shop are to be
found hundreds of different kinds of
herbs for the cure of all bodily all
ments. There can be found all the old
time herbs that our grandmothers used
to have hanging around the walls of
the kitchen and stored away in the at
tic, ready to be made into teas and
syrups in case of sickness.
People who still have old-fashioned
ideas about health and sickness go
there for bugleweed, sumach, winter,
green, sassafras, camomile, horehound,
yellow dock, catnip, cherry bark, null
lein, extract of oats, lobelia and so
on. All these herbs have the reputa-
ton of being good for some one or
more ailments. Catnip for nervous
ness, sassafras for the blood, horehound
and boneset for colds, sumach for sore
throat, wintergreen for rheumatism, To-
bella as an emetic in case of poisoning,
mullen for consumption, etc.
Nearly all of these herbs are made
into teas. Sassafras tea, boneset tea
and catnip tea are brewed and served
either cold or hot. Among the many
hundreds Of herbs that are sold in this
little shop are some that are deadly
poisons, and they are labeled and sold
under the same restrictions as other
poisons.
The good old remedies that our
grandfathers hunted and dug in the
woods, those that our grandmothers
planted and tended in the garden,
have given way to harmful remedies,
to drugs that leave the patient in a
worse condition than when he began
their use. We believe it has been a
mistake to give up the old remedies.

not far from the facts in the case. and
he can well point with some pride to
the splendid organization of his deDart-
ment at this time, even though much
hue and cry has been made over the
recent discovery of graft in the sta
tistical division of the department. If
is only due Mr.. Wilson also to say that
it is entirely to his own enthusiasm
and the enthusiasm and energy with
which he has imbued the corps of
chiefs and assistants which he has
gathered about him that his de-
partment has advanced during his
eight years of incumbency by
such leaps and bounds. Although q

Cabinet-it was, prior to the present
Secretary's appointment, little more

as one of the foremost, important and
most popular branches OF the admins

less enthusiasm and more caution and
conservatism there would have been
less scandal. The proven facts brought
to light thus far do not, as a matter
of fact, disclose anything very terri

The New Stingless Bee.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

A gentle bee! Is such an insect in
existence? Surely every thought of
our honeymakers brings up an associa-
ton of our childhood days when we
used to rob the hives and partake OF
the stored-up sweetness, perhaps to be
amply rewarded with swollen cheeks
and hands as a result of the resentful
nature of the busy workers. So, then,
the announcement from the Depart
ment of Agriculture that it has dis
covered a stingless bee, or rather bee
with no inclination to sting, comes as
something of a shock, making us wish
that we were children again and able
to once more enjoy the hidden treas
ure of hive without having projected
into our systems the irritating venom
of the bees sting.

amateur, this discovery of the bee eX-

ing it introduced from the Caucasus.
This Caucasian bee is not inclined to
sting, and may be handled at all times
without resort to the protection of the
bee veil or the smoke pot. Expert
ments were made to test the temper of
the new bee by giving the hive con-
tanning them half dozen severe kicks
and then when they were well stirred
up, by taking out several racks of the
bees, handling them carelessly and
making no effort to keep them from
alighting on the hands or face.
Scooping Them Up by Handouts.
They were even scooped up by the
handfuls and poured back on the rack.
The operator was not even stung once,
and all through the experiments the
honey-givers retained the amiability
which has made them famous at the
Department.
While bee raising is carried on sue
cessfully in the small towns in the
country, few persons know that the
city is well adapted, to limited ex-
tent, to this interesting industry. The
city of Washington is an example of
this, bees located there doing better

Lumber Waste and Forest Fires.

The average American lumber camp
is known to be most wasteful institu-
ton, little regard being paid to the
growth of new timber, but the greatest
danger comes from forest fires which
are fostered through the dried tops and
brush left by the lumbermen.
The excellent work of the government
Forestry Bureau is, however, calling
the attention of broad-minded men to
the national seriousness of such waste,
and it is stated that in the South the
Southern Railway is doing its utmost
to encourage ordinary business pru-
dence on the part of land owners and
mill operators to insure the perpetual
ton of our great timber resources.
Throughout the South several species
of pine trees grow up quickly on cut
over land, and even on new land. The
New Orleans Times-Democrat states
that with land comparatively cheap and
worthless for agricultural purposes, the
growing of pine in the South makes one
of the safest investments, provided
fires are kept out.

waist and expose their bare skin to the
cold air, just as one in temperate
climate would open his coat when
abnormally warm through violent
exercise. Arctic travellers have found
that as rule the Eskimos strip when
in their houses and sleep naked. They
seem as much addicted to drinking
ice-cold water as do the people of the
more civilized countries.
The Eskimos construct their beds
near the roofs of their snow huts to
take advantage of the heated, if i'm
pure, air which ascends to the ceiling.

GREAT HONEY BEE OF EAST INDIA.
the various experiments with different
varieties of bees have been made.
Government Apiarist Bee Foraging.
Mr.. Benton has just departed on a
tour of the globe hunting for desirable
types of honey-makers. He will make
a collection of the Caucasian bee, but
perhaps the most interesting feature
of his trip will be his visit to India
and the Philippine Islands for the pur-
pose of securing the giant bee of those
countries. This bee has never been
subjected to domestication, and its arti-
fetal culture is unknown. It is very
much larger than any of the bees now
being raised in apiaries, and the length
of it's tongue enables it to reach the
sweets of many honey-laden flowers
and plants which our own kinds can
not gather.

Since the vast timber lands of the
Northwest have been practically de-
nuded the lumbermen in that region are
seeking new fields in the South, for a
lumberman is always lumberman and
a pioneer. The yellow pine and hard
wood forests of several of the south
ern states, which have been long
neglected for the lack of transportation
facilities, have now attracted the at
tention of northern lumbermen and the
southern forests are being visited by
the railroad and the saw mill. Timber
land which few years ago was con-
sidered worth q dollar an acre now
brings from $40 to S25, and with the
advent of this practically new indus
try and increased population, much of
this land after being logged has been
disposed of for agricultural purposes
at large advance over what was paid
for it with the timber standing, and
has been converted into prosperous
farm homes.
