MONSTER GORILLA OF AFRICA.
Huge Animal Believed to Belong to
an Unknown Species.

Interesting information regarding
species has been obtained by Eugene
BlusseauX, French official and eX-
plorer from northern Africa. One of
these strange monsters was shot by
one of the officials sharpshooters.
The animal measured I feet 6 inches
in height, was feet in width across
the shoulders and weighed 72O
pounds. One OF the hands, when dis
membered, weighed six pounds. 1t
required the united efforts of eight ma
live soldiers to drag the dead body of
the beast from the point where it was
killed to the French residency at
Quessou, the administrative center of
central Sangha The animal was here
skinned and buried.
Reports have been received at this
station frequently during the last few
months of the presence of these big
creatures in the upper valleys of Lo-
uani and Sangereh, but hitherto it
aad been impossible TO come to close
quarters with them. According to ma
tive reports, however, the animals are
usually ferocious, not hesitating to at
tack caravans during their passage
through the country.
! These gorillas differ essentially
from others. The ears are small, the
shoulders and thighs are covered with
dense and long black hair. while the
chest and stomach are almost bare.
1t is believed that they belong to a
species that has not heretofore been
seen by white men.

MAKING Butter on the Farm.

We hear a great deal about cream
cry butter making. Nearly all the
articles that appear in the agricul-
tural papers have to do with creamery
butter making. At nearly all of the
great dairy conventions where butter
making is discussed it Is the butter
making of the creamery. This is be-
cause the butter-makers in the cream
cries are students of their business
and are always eager to discuss it. It
is exceedingly rare that we hear a
discussion of farm butter-making. We
would like to take up the matter in
these columns and have our readers
who are making butter on the farm
give us their experience. We know
that to-day more butter is being
made on the farm than in the cream
cry and that there is more need of in
struction in farm butter making than
in creamery butter making.

Eaas Good or Bad.

Mrs. j. S. Martin, a South Carolina
reader of the Farmers Review, writes
to ask how to tell good from bad eggs.
There is but one method that need be
used and that is Gambling. This is
practiced in all the great egg-buying
establishments of the country. The
candling is done by placing the egg
between the eye and a bright light
Candles were first used to give the
light for this work hence the name
Now electric lights a-e used and the
work is done with great rapiGity. Light
must be allowed to reach the eye only
Though the egg. This leaves the
whole inside of the egg clear to the
vision. If the egg is transparent it
is good. If a cloud has begun to ap-
pear in one part of it, it is not bad
but stale. The larger and thicker the
cloud the farther is the egg from being
fresh. common lamp can be used
for candling. 1t can be placed in
box from which stream of light is
fmitted to emerge just the size OF
an egg or a little smaller. The eggs
can be placed over this hole one at
tine and inspected. OF course, the rest
OF .he room should be dark at the
time, or the eyes of the one looking
at the egg should be protected from
all light on the sides. The better the
eye is protected from such light the
better able will it be to tell what is
the condition of the inside of the egg.
A little practice in this matter will
give good deal of skili.-Farmers'
Review.

Is a silo Expensive?

Some farmers have conceived the
Idea that the silo is too expensive
structure for them to have on the
tarm. The men that hold such an opin-
Ion have not Investigated the matter.
well-built, permanent silo can be put
up Tor about $1.50 per ton of capacity
That is cost of 5000 for silo that
Will hold 200 tons of feed. This amount
OF feed will supply 20 cows with all
the silage they should have, even If
they are big cows and are fed the year
around. If the farmer is to build
barn that will hold hay for twenty
COWS, even for a winter can he build
1t for $500? Not at all. He would
have to invest very much more than
that sum in a barn to hold the hay
Tor that number of cows. So we see
that silage is the cheapest thing pos
sible to feed if we are to consider
the cost Of the structure that contains
1t.
The farmer that intends to largely
increase the number of his COWS will
have to put thousands of dollars into
a barn structure If he intends to con-
fine himself to the feeding of hay for
roughage. 1t will be far easier for him
to extend his stables and build a clio
than to construct a stable sufficiently
high to hold the hay. When a man is
freed from the necessity of providing
for bulky feed he can then construct
his dairy stable with the one object of
getting cleanliness and light. He can
build his stable long and low and Sc
cure flood of light from three sides
His structure does not have to be
heavy. as it must be If it is to sustain
heavy superstructure.
A silo is thus not expensive, and
moreover it is a great encourager of
the development of dairying. 1t solves
the problem of how a dairyman can
make living off from so to 100 acres
of land. That is going to be the great
question in the not-distant future, for
the farms are already being cut up
into smaller ones.
If any man doubts whether or not
1t will pay him to build a silo let him
look into the cost and benefits, by
actually getting estimates on the cost
of construction.

The pretty wedding with its echoes
of Mendelssohn, and lights, musio
and flowers, was dream of the past
night. the happy couple having start

hours before.
In the wake of the event, the men,

the occasion, were beginning to scat

The westward bound were to be
only two in number, and the existence
CT these two had been made as en-
livening as a party of young people
on mischief bent could invent or de-
wise. Now that the hour of departure
had come, the evidently repentent
band was striving to make the
amende honorable. The girls assisted
Helena in her packing, and had kindly
attended to her ticket and berth while
she had gone on a morning drive.
No less attentive had been Kenton's
companions, until less guileless and
suspicious pair would readily have
scented mischief under this guise of
devoted friendship. A subdued sad
ness pervaded the party quite in keep

In the midst of the adieux. the two

friends. and the train pulling in-the
baggage wagon, mysteriously delayed,

suit case were deposited on the plat
form near the group. and Immediately
the two pieces of baggage became the
center of attraction to the crowd of
idlers and employees at the station.
The trunk was beribboned and be-
decked to the verge of frivolty on
its white duck cover large crimson

The respective owners recognized
their baggage almost at the same in

apathy that would have touched with

Swine Raising and Selling.

The business of raising and
selling swine is such a complicated
one that it will well repay any man
to give good deal of attention to
the study of it if he wishes to himself
become successful producer of
swine. 1t is of little use for a man
to become expert in the raising of
swine If he is lacking in the qualities
that enable him to sell his animals at
a profit. There are many things the
farmer that raises swine should know.
One of the most important is the one
of classification in the yards where
the animals are to be finally disposed

spring and had the use of the luxuriant
calf must be kept warm as well as be
well-fed. AS soon as the milk of the
dam begins to be insufficient other
milk should be given. preferably fresh
separator skimmilk. Glover hay should
be fed at an early age and some corn
given daily as soon as the calf will eat
it, especially if the owner is able to
give other food rich in protein. Calves
digest corn better than mature cattle.

VARYING Prices.

One of the greatest OBJ
stacles to the successful pro-
duction of stock is the
eternal variability of the prices
of things connected with stock
raising. The prices of cattle end
all other classes of live stock vary
from day to day. The prices of feeds
also vary> Moreover the prices of all
human foods that enter into competi-
tion with meats vary. If the farmer
could have fixed prices for all things
the business of stock raising could be
reduced to an almost exact science.
This has been the dream of the men
that have successfully tried to form
great farm organizations for the con-
troll of all farm products. The farmer
must, however. continue to raise stock
under conditions that make success a
matter of skill and great intelligence.
