Big Game.

On Wednesday, Dec. 2lst of last
week Mr.. J. G. Skillman discovered a
fresh otter track near his camp at
Square Timber Run. Securing the as
sistance of Wallace Fields he followed
the track for some distance finally
coming upon the animal under large
pile of logs. Not being able to move
the logs in order to secure the game,
they remained on watch until mid
night but the otter made no attempt to
leave his hiding place. 1t was
bright moonlight night and the hunt
ers fatigued from their long watch
concluded to spend the balance OF the
night in Reed Bros. Camp and secure
the game in the morning, but in the
meanwhile Mr.. Otter had scheme of
his own and after the mon left he
started toward Potter county into
Logues Run, about five miles from
Square Timber Run, the chase was
taken up by Mr.. Skillman and Mr.
Fields at daybreak the next morning
and they came upon their quarry
about a. M, where gunshot finished
the animal. 1t was a splendid speci-
men and the hunters feel justly proud
of their success.
Mr.. Skillman and Mr.. Fields have
added more trophies to their collection
of furs since they secured the otter.
On Monday, Dec.26, they started early
in the morning with their rifles, Mr..
Skillman carrying a 303 Savage and
Mr.. Fields 3S Sc winchester. Their
field of operations was within radius
of two or three miles of Mr.. Skillman's
camp at Square Timber Run. Nothing
in the shape of game sighted until about
2 p. M, when the hounds started fox
which was soon placed on the retired
list Shortly after the dogs started

and it took two shots to kill it after an
exciting chase. The animal measured

weighed AZ pounds. The hides of the

Milk Wagon Takes a Ride.

OnTuesday morning, Dec. 9th, while
Chas. Howaru's modern milk wagon
was coming down the Portage road,
from Mr.. Howard's farm, to serve the
town customers, an accident happened
that might have resulted more seriously
than it did. When the wagon, in
charge of Ralph Kautz who had boy
companion, Earl Edwards, neared
Rattlesnake Park, the vehicle started
to ''slide" on the ice towards the creek.
Young Edwards made a break to get
out and succeeded while Ralph pulled
the horses for the bank. Atths instant
the wagon was partly over the creek
bank when Ralph jumped, at the same
time Mr.. milk wagon, cans, bottles and
milk severed their connection with the
horses and took a ride down the river
amidst the breaking ice. At this point
the water was at least ten feet deep and
it is lucky the occupants escaped. The
last heard of the wagon it was going
towards Driftwood. Shippen town
ship will, no doubt, have another bill
of expense to pay.

LOvett's Boston Stars.

If repeated and heart encores are
any proof Of a comp" US popularity.
Lovetts Boston Star we're accorded a
vast compliment at she Court House
last Thursday night where they gave
the third number in the Peoples Star
Entertainment Course. OF such varie-
ty was the program and in such
prompt order were the various num-
bers introduced as not to admit of a
dull moment during the nearly two
hours of its concerts duration. By
many it was regarded, as not only the
best in the present series thus far but
worthy to rank with the best in any
series of like character given in the
town. Others, while dissenting from
this extreme view are not unwilling to
admit that it offered not few features
of enjoyment and that the evening as
whole was thoroughly pleasant.
The humor, and there was an abund.
ance, was wholesome, the vocal selec-
tions were delightfully."- sung, the violin
solos of pronounced artistic merit,
while the Readings were not unworthy
of the talented lady giving them.
Lovett's Boston Stars may not all be
of the first magnitude, but their luster
was such as to make bright and hap :,
the hearts that for nearly two hours
yielded them the tribute of rapt atten-
ton and delighted interest.

How Berry Crops Are Made.

Every one who has had expert
ence in growing berries knows that
the crops that are grown at the least
expense are those that yield the
greatest income per year if the crop
itself is of good quality 1t does not
pay to grow poor berry crops, yet
sometimes the seasons are unfavora-
BILE and it is impossible to produce
good crops even with wise provision
and the best Of care. Humus has a
great deal to do with the ability of
the soil to retain moisture, and 1t
often contains plant in most excel
lent form. Stable manure in mod
crate quantities, where the soil is
not naturally filled with humus, will
supply this important element of
success. Crops of clover or cowpeas
plowed under will do 1t also. The
very biggest and best berries are Of
ten found where the plants grow
wild with their roots imbedded IN
soil that is almost half composed of
leaf mould.-Nat Fruit Grower

Method of Removing Honey.

In removing comb honey from
the hive, the Porter bee escape has
proved to be invaluable. The old term
for this process was formerly called
robbing. AS every bee-keeper knows
tits. not an easy task to rid the surplus
arrangement of bees when he wishes
to remove some honey from the hive
but with this bee escape the thing is
done SO quickly that not even fluttel
is seen among the bees, and it can be
done at any time whenever the honey
is ready to come off without danger Of
robbing All that is necessary is to sliI
the escape board between the super anG
brood nest on each of the colonies be-
fore taking the honey. The next morn
ing the supers may be removed off the
hives practically free Of bees without
disturbing the colony below, and the
honey will be free of punctures and the
smell Of smoke.-Indiana Farmer.
