AT this time of the lat least technical

during the war between Russia and Tur-
key in the late '70s when kuropat-
kin served with marked distinction under
the redoubtable Skobeleff. Through all
of 1877 the younger man displayed most
admirable fighting qualities. His tire
Iessness and ability had gained for him
the highest encomiums of his famous
superior. Then on Christmas day, came
the chance shot which laid Kuropatkin
by for a time, incidentally showing in
new light the splendid physical bravery
of the man.
Skobeleff had taken his stand on a
rock to survey the valley which stretched
away from the Lyssoi hill, when bail
from a Turkish sharpshooter, hidden
among the brush below, pierced kuro-

irremediable, while the grief of the file

took him by the arms and started to lead

SHOOTS RATS FOR A LIVING.
Hunter Stalks His Quarry and Is I'm
erring in His Aim.

There is a rat catcher who visits
Baltimore periodically to rid hotels,
among other places. of the rodent
pests. Among the hotels he has two
regular customers and his advent is
always the signal for the pleasures of
the chase in a small way.
This rat catcher is not a piper Of
Pan. He has no method OF charming
rats. but goes after them just as any
hunter in the big woods would stalk
his game. He does not sit down IN
front of rat hole and tease the rod
ents forth with the sweet strains on
tin flute. Instead he carries a small
air rifle, and it does the work. He
makes straight 70 the basement,
kitchen. baggage-rovnl a ad open plumb
ing. where rat holes i'll be found if
they are anywhere. Having located
his rat hole, which he seems to ac-
complish almost by instinct, he listens
ut the opening until his keen ear de-
tects scratching or squeak.
He unerringly locates his quarry by
this sound. inserts his rife az just the
right angle and fires. If he misses
but what's the use-he doesn't He
hits his man every time. Then, with
long, hooked wire he probes into the
hole and draws his victim out. Now
and then he strikes a nest of young.
In such cases ii is usually an easy mat
ter to hook nest and all and drag the
pests from their palatial residence. His
is a peculiar calling, but has its uses.
And it's better than killing rats with
poison and having them die within the
wills -Raltimnra NeMs

South to teach the natives how TO
farm. AS an instance or how it is 70
be done, they give a statement OF n
farm near Dallas. Texas, of 500 acres,
which is in charge Of a resident man
ager, who is to conduct the farm and
make it pay without any appropriation
under the direction of the Bureau OF
Agrostology. The article goes on 10
say: About one-fourth of the farm
will be planted in cotton each year.
but in order that the cotton may nos
wear out the land. it will not be plant
ed on the same .arter of the farm
any two successive years. OF the re-
mainder of the farm (Which We note
was only started in October.-Ed) ten
acres have been planted in rye, ana
ten acres in barley for winter pasture.
and several acres have been prepared
for truck gardening. Thity-two acres
have been planted in alfalfa. Next
summe, large fields of wheat and oats
will be sown. After they have been
harvested COW peas will be soWn for
stock feed" The italic are ours. Sow
ing wheat and oats in Texas in sum-
mer and harvesting them in time for
peas is certainly a stroke for the Bu-
reau of Agrostology. They have soWn
rye and barley for winter pasture. ana
the account says that "aS soon as the
business justifies it. the farm Will be
stocked with hogs and cattle" 1t is
to be hoped that the resident mana
ger and the Bureau Of Agrostology
know more about farming than the
writer for The Worlds Work. If not.
we fear the Texas farmers will not
have as good an object lesson as they
should have. The optomistic writer
says that if the boil Weevil destroys
the cotton. they can sell the alfalfa
hay Gust sown) and If they cannot do
this because there is no hay they caa
fall back on onions and potatoes or
cattle (Which they are going to buy).
An object lesson here and there all
over the country or real systematic
and business-like farming. that is not
only self supporting. but profitable,
will be valuable. But to do this the
farms should have ffrst-class mana
gers. who are fully competent to farm
properly, and then have a free hand
to do it without any "ology" or bureau
red tape TO interfere with them.
