HUNT FOXES WITH EAoLEs.
Strange Sport That 10 Enjoyed by Ma.

A Siberian correspondent of Lon

relating to a form OF fox hunting
which is probably unique. The hunt
Ing of foxes with eagles takes place
among the Kirghese, in the southwest
district Of Siberia, known as the gen
ersl government of the steppes. 1t Is
favorite sport with the Kirghese and
takes place in the autumn and early
winter, when the foxes coats are rud-
dy and perfect. though hunting is not
always confined to this period. The
eagles selected for the purpose are
powerful birds, of such weight that a
small wooden support is carried by
the eagle bearer. A well grown bird
of more than usually fierce tempera.

The Sovv's First Litter.

Sows seldom produce as many young
on their first as on their subsequent
Filters. This is evidently a provision
of nature. and very wise one at that,
because it is we'll known that with
their frstborn all classes Of farm ami
mails produce a smaller quantity OF
milk than subsequently. The lim1ta-
ton in the number of the young In the
case OF soWs Is therefore advanta-
geous not only to the animal herself,
but also to her owner, because it nat
,urally follows that it is much better for
SOW to bring up six OR seven young
ones in good condition than to have ten
Ior twelve fer which she would not be
able to supply the milk required to do
them justice.
