CUSTOM HARD TO FORGET
Employe Simply Couldn't Help Jug
Cling with the Scales When
Hogs Were Weighed.

Even before the days when Mr.. Ar
mour was able 10 step to the tele-
phone every morning and fix the meat
prices OF the world, 1t was almost a
universal hasit OF the individual hog
buyers TO see to Il that they stood no
chance OF loss in purchasing the hog
raIsers' products. The method was to
juggle with the scales.
An honest hog buyer started up in
business and guaranteed the farmers a
fair deal. He always weighed the
porkers twice to guard against mis-
takes. Once in weighing bunch of
pigs the second time, he found their
weight had increased TO the amount
of 200 pounds.
He was at loss TO account for the
condition until an employe confessed
that at the first weighing he bad In
serted the toe OF his boot under the
scales and pried It up thus cheating
the farmer out OF one hog The buyer
was Indignant.
what did you DO trick like that
for?" he asked "You couldn't have
prohted by 1t, anyhow"
Il know It, John, said the guilty
man, "but just couldn't help it,

MOOSE In NATIVE WILDS.

In Summer-Many Bulls Killed In
Fratracidal Battles.
Few people have any conception Of
the astutePess of the moose, said sue
rcessful hdnter- who is exceptionally
well acquainted with the habits of this
splendid game animal, in speaking OF
a recent trip. They possess keenness
Of scent and hearing that is almost be-
yond belief, and an intelligence that is
seldom credited to them by any one
except those who have devoted consid-
cradle time to studying them and
their ways.
In the section of the country where
we were the larger part of our stay
moose were exceedingly plentiful. and
we had the finest opportunity to OBJ
serve their actions. We followed them
from one place to another. endeavor.
ing not to frighten them and all the
while noticing them very closely.
In the mating season, which com
mences around September 20 and ends
about the middle of October, the bulls
are exceedingly vicious, while the COWS
are timid and seek the deepest forests,
being easily frightened. 1t is my
opinion that the males kill many of
their mates at this time.
The cows soon betake themselves to
some island, in order that they may not
be disturbed by wolves or other wild
animals. The moose calves are about
as homely and unsightly as anything
I have ever seen. Their heads are
nearly as long as their bodies. and
when they are three or four weeks old
they weigh about 100 pounds.
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-01-19

The calf and its mother remain to-
gether for about nine months. the
mother, Of course. providing food and
shelter for the younger animal. But
after that length of time has elapsed
she will try to get away. In order to
do this sic will often travel miles up
stream, SO as to leave no scent, and,
as a rule, she succeeds in accomplish
ing her purpose.
The bulls have peculiar grunting
sound by which they call to the cows.
A man can initiate the call after long
practice. but not so perfectly as to de-
ceive them. The only way in which this
ruse can be successfully carried out
is to make your call at the same time
that the moose make their noise. In
this manner l have called them under
the branches of the tree in which /
have been sitting from distances as
great as mile or more.
The males also have an odd habit of
striking their antlers against trees
making sound that rings clear as a
bell, after which they below long and
loud. On quiet night they can be
heard miles away. This appears to be
their mode of expressing defiance and
challenging rival to contest.
Antlers No Handicap.
It is astonishing to see them go
through the woods while bearing their
immense branching antlers. They cal.
culate the distance between two trees
to a nicely and hardly ever strike a
branch. But perhaps the strangest
part Of this performance is that this
does not seem to retard their speed
in the slightest.
In the summer they seek the water,
where they will not be pestered by
flies, and stay there during most of the
warm weather. AS they are not built
to reach the grass with their Jaws, be.
ing very high in the forequarters, they
feed on lily pads. roots, watercress and
moose maple during the summer. The
watercress grows chiefly in deep
water. and to reach it the moose dive
in water from ten to fifteen feet in
depth, leaving only their heels visible.
They stay under from a minute to
minute and half, and usually do their
diving at night. When they have filled
their large jaws they proceed to sort
out such parts as they want and eat
them leisurely.
When autumn approaches they take
to the rocks and high places, where
they live on yellow birch and white
willow tops. They stand on their hind
legs to reach the top of birch tree
fifteen feet above the ground. snap it
of, and then pull off the young shoots
In the winter they sustain themselves
on Hchens, ground hemlock and white
cedar.
When the snow becomes deep and
the temperature is far below zero, they

in Europe for hundreds of years as
fly poison, and in Asia 1t was formerly
used as an intoxicant. Cattle are pois'
oned by this species as well as men,

stock SO poisoned is rendered unwhole-

large as the fly amanita and is not so

Breeding Sturdy Lettuce.

Through the process of forcing"
owners of greenhouses are able to
produce crops, =. weeks and months
before they could arrive at maturity
through natural courses. In addition
the crop is made to develop far more
rapidly and to attain proportions
such as nature could not accomplish.
From S2,5OO,OOO to 100000 worth
of lettuce alone is "forced" in the
United States each winter. Green

of the business. When a hen moults
she stops laying eggs and no amount Of
persuasion can induce her to again
commence doing business until she is
ready. The California Experiment
Station has been making tests with the
object of shortening the moulting sea-
son of laying fowls. Hens usually
commence moulting in the early fall
and the plan of the California Station
is to hasten this time into early sum
iner. This is accomplished by a method
of light feeding, followed with heavy
feeding. The egg-laying is stopped
and moulting is brought on by one
half reduction of the supply of nitro
genous food, meat, middlings. and the
like. The hens, under this plan, stop
egg-laying and go to moulting. In
about month, it is claimed, the moult-
ing process is all finished and then the
ordinary feeding is resumed: the hen
then begins to lay eggs early in tile
fall. The experiments of the station
have not been concluded, SO that it is
still unsafe to say whether or not the
new method will prove practically sue
cessful.
