THAT MULE.

A boy friend has been given a young
mule whose dam refused to own it,
provided he can manage to raise 1t.
There seemed no way available save
to raise the poor little beast on bot
tie until the boy happened to think
that there was an old cow in the dairy
herd which would let anybody milk
her and any animal suck her. So the
mule was introduced to the old cow,
who readily mother it, and now all
hands are doing well. If animals rea-
son-and we have sometimes thought
that mules, if no others, did-this little
mule must droop it's ears and shed
tears when it contemplates its mixed
ancestry and queer foster parent One
could hardly blame, this mule if it
proved to be kicker on general prin-
ciples when grown up.

SUMNER STORMS.

The season of summer storms is al
hand. The typical storm of the sum
mer for all the north country is live,
Energetic proposition, much electricity
and lively winds, often quite destruc-
tive and of sufficient Importance to
hedge against so far as possible. One
thing worth doing is to have the barbed
wire fences provided with ground
wires, wire attached to the fence con-
meeting it with the damp earth. The
doing of this may prevent the loss of a
bunch of cows, steers or horses by
lightning. Another thing is to see that
the doors and windows of the barns
and stable are closed during a storm,
which makes the building better able
to resist the force Of the wind. Then in
general way we think storm cave
handy to the house is a very reasonable
proposition, for If twister heads your
way you will regard this cave as the
best and most useful building, or, rath-
er, appliance, on the farm. If farmers
generally would equip themselves with
a thermometer and barometer, get
weather wise as to the winds and their
directions, they could hedge against
many Of the losses which they now sus-
tain from these summer storms which
catch them wholly unprepared. The
weather predictions as now sent out
daily over the country telephone sys-
TENS are worth noting.

BIRDS AND ANIMALS.

Some Of the antipathies between
birds and animals are hard to account
for. A few days since we noted a
hawk which had caught a striped
gopher and wanted to eat it. A crow
kept Fostering the hawk and would
light down close to it, not attacking 1t,
but just bothering. If the hawk would
pick up its dinner and fly off, the crow
would follow and repeat Its tactics,
and, curiously, the hawk did not have
sense enough to turn on it's tormentor
and finish it up, which it was easily big
enough to have done. In turn the king
bird will take after the crow, while the
advent of an owl among the birds in
daytime will set them all wild. in
these two last cases the antipathy be-
Ing prompted by the recognition Of a
natural enemy. The dog and the cat
are well known ancient enemies,
though Just where and how their inter
ests conflict is not easy to see. The
horse goes wild at the sight of an ele-
plant or the scent Of bear, while an
ingrained hatred of all the snake tribe
Is common to man.

VALUE OF HAY COVERS.

A very large per cent of the clover
hay put up through the west is seri-
ously injured every year by the heavy
and continuous rains which are almost
sure to come at the season of the
clover hay making So great is the
loss connected with this most valuable
of the legume rations raised on west
ern farms that we have come to the
opinion that the time has come when
it will pay any man well to provide
himself with hay covers to protect the
hay in the cock. This will permit of
the curing of the clover in the very
best possible manner, putting it into
the cock when partially cured, with no
loss Of the leaves. One ton Of clover
so cured is worth for feed two tons
which have been rained on and bleach
ed.

BEET SUGAR.

The government experts having in

favored localities can 1t ever be made
success in this country. This being
the case, we trust the burdensOme

resources of the country were given

gress at an early day. The tax on
sugar is essentially a poor mans tax,
for the man who is worth a million
cannot use any more sugar than the
section hand on railway.

The fertilizer most needed on the
farm is brains. One man will shin
along on an eighty acre farm and grow
poorer each year, with unpaid store
bills and compound interest mortgages,
until he gets small sum for his equity
and strikes out to try the miserable
business all over again. Another man
will take the same farm and by COM
bining brain and muscle will not only
get a first class living from it, but save
money every year Farms are often

At this spring season everybody is
busy raking up and burning the leaves.
This is all wrong, for leaves are too
valuable fertilizer to be thus wasted.
Rake them up and put in compost
pile, where they will later decay and
afford leaf mold which is just what
the flowers and garden vegetables de-
light in, or else rake them up and use
them as mulching for the rosebushes,
grapevines and currant and raspberry
bushes. Don't burn them.
