OF this white tail when danger is sensed

Another signal that have not seen

by Mr.. E. A. Preble during his trip to

Soon after leaving our camp on the
morning of August 13, we saw
some barren-ground caribou. A Young
buck on a point of land was approach

showed little fear. trotting along the
shore abreast of our boat, for a quarter
of a mile. He would frequently stop
and wade some distance toward the
boat, at short intervals spreading and
contracting the white patch on his
throat literally into an oval disc. SO

strengthening Machine.

Sheep-shearlng machines are great
improvement over hand work both in
cleanliness of clipping and in the time
required for each animal. 1t requires
some skill to keep clippers sharp. Upon
this much Of the success and ease with
which these machines are handled de-
pends It is necessary to know how to
handle sheep while clipping it.
A man who has had considerable eX
perience In shearng sheep by hand
will understand this part Of the work
and can usually handle a machine clip
per with great ease. One man and a
boy with a machine can handle about
twice as many sheep in day as is Gus
tomary when they are hand-sheared
Every purchaser of sheep-shearing
machine should get good sharpener
with it.

Storing Winter Apples.

Many growers must be reminded Of
the Importance Of getting fruit TO stor-
age as promptly as possible after pick
ing. The United States Department of
Agriculture has demonstrated that
fruit deteriorates more in a few days
between the time of leaving the trees
and the time it reaches storage than it
does in as many months Of storage at
a low temperature
1t was formerly thought necessary
to put apples in piles in the orchard,
to Sweat" but this has been shown
to have been mistake. Don't do this
but, on the contrary, send your apples
to storage at once, in refrigerator cars,
if the weather is warm and the dis
lance is great. Many of the best ap-
pie handlers want their fruit in storage
before night Of the day it is picked, if
at all possible, and there is no doubt
that they are right in regard to this
Western Fruit Grower.

IOzart's Quick Work.

On one occasion Mozart was making
merry with his friends at midnight
when not a single note was written OF
the overture to Don Giovanni which
was to be produced on the following
evening. When he had said good-by to
his friends he calmly went to bed and
slept until o'clock in the morning
Awaking refreshed, he set to work on
the overture, dashing off sheet after
sheet with incredible rapidity and dis
patching them to the copyists. The
opera was to begin at in the evening,
and a few minutes after that hour No
Fart was in his place as conductor
baton in hand, while the parts with the
ink still wet on some of them were be-
ing handed to the orchestra.

AS the corn shredder has killed and
MANNED a great many people, the be-
low suggestion for reducing the danger
of using them will be welcomed. A
man who runs one Of them says: ITO
unchoke shredders with safety to the
feeder, take Croquet ball and saw 1t
in halves. Then bore hole in the cen
ter of the fiat side Of one Of these parts,
through to the center Of the oval side.
Then insert the end Of broom handle
in the hole, beginning at the fat side.
Fasten this with wedge or nail. Keep
this tool in a convenient place, and
when the machine clogs stir up the
fodder with the ball end and all is
right again. Try it."

GODS IDEAL MAN.

by LII. EO4SAuS 4A' -" IL -
We are to think not of Gods ideal
angel, saint or divinity but just about
Gods ideal man. He is in the world.
He is flesh and has red blood in his
veins. I am sure that David was
man after Gods own heart not because
every event in his career and every
moment of his life was pleasing to
God but because the great gulf stream
of his inner life was pouring onward
toward God, because the great deep OF
his soul was in sympathy with Gods
plan and program. Gods ideal man is
rot now at the summit, but he is al
ways yearning for and struggling to-
ward it. He has not yet conquered
all his enemies, but he keeps up the
fight. He does not sometimes fall, but
he gets I'D, rubs the dust from his eyes
and presses on toward the goal. He
does make mistakes, but he tries to
learn from his failures never to make
the same mistake twice. He does some
times weld to temptation, but he hates
the sin that he falls into and when he
gets a vision of it he turns his PACK
uDOn it.

Value in CattIe Foods.

The value Of cattle foods depends
largely upon their digestibility. There
is more protein in straw than corn fod-
der, but the latter is more digestible.
Some coarse foods are valuable, how
ever, in assisting to digest the concen-
trated foods by giving bulk to the mass
and separating the materials, especial
" when the coarse foods are reduced
to a fine condition. Even if but por-
ton of the straw foods is digested, they
are prepared for the manure heap by
the animals and are thus increased in
value compared with wasteful use.

influence of Dehorning.

Fourteen cows were subjected to the
tuberculin test by the Wisconsin Sta
ton and then dehorned. The milk OF
these cows, as regards yield and COM
position, was compared with the milk
of COWS dehorned but not tuberculin
tested, Of cows tuberculin tested but
not dehOrned, and of cows neither de-
horned nor tuberculin tested. The re-
suit showed on an average decrease
Of about per cent in the yield OF
milk for the first few days after de-
horning, but loss Of only about per
cent in the yield of butter fat De
hOrning therefore, increased the fat
content of the milk OPT per cent. These
results are noted as being in accord
with the results Of Investigations at
other experiment. stations which are
cited. The tuberculin test was appar-
emily without effect upon milk secre-
ton.

Best Crop for Pigs.

In the spring and summer, rye and
clover are used for pastures until the
pigs weigh about eighty-tive to 100
pounds. Then barley is added until
some early variety of flint or sweet
corn is ready. Only small field of
this last is necessary, or an amount
sufficient to carry the pigs until the
field corn is denting. Then the pigs
are turned in small areas Of the field
corn at a time, until they are fat. By
fencing in and using these crops in this
order the cost of growing pigs is re

Raising Seed Corn.

The best way of raising corn for
seed, as followed in the West, says @
W. Morrill, in Tri-State Farmer. is to
prepare a seed bed or testing ground
Of from one to two acres far removed
from other fields. To begin with, no
ear should be used which Is imperfect
from which to select grains for the
seed crop, selecting such type of corn
that you wish to grow, the work of
selection should be followed year after
year, selecting the best ears that show
an improvement over previous years
Any plant that is deficient in any re-
quirement should not be allowed to de-
yelop tassel, ara especially a barren
stalk.
AS to corn feeding, the seed plots
should not suffer for want of plant
food. From field experiments with fer.
tilizers on corn in the West last year
on soils Of average fertility, higher
per cent of potash than ordinary fer
tilizer contains gave remarkable re.
suits and would undoubtedly give sim
liar results ON the average lands of
Georgia. In Georgia last year were
used more fertilizers with corn than
was ever used in years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more attention
to the selection Of seed, and intensive
culture, there is no doubt or reason
why the average yield Of well-bred corn
should not be increased in the South
and especially Georgia.

Kainft with Manure.

Kainft is one of the best substances
to use with manure. It does not liber-
ate ammonia, but changes it into SUI
phate or chloride, and thus fixes" It.
Kainit is a potash salt, and also con-
tains common salt. 1t is one of the
best fertilizers for clover, and increases
the value Of the manure. Applied &c
the land in the spring, it is beneficial
not only as plant food, but in its
chemical effect on the soil. It is also
cheap, compared with some other fer
tiliZers.

The following from Orange Judd
Farmer shows what profits some men
undertake to make farming:
Ten acres of farm land in Christian
County, Illinois, sold for $1,000 a few
days ago, or $500 an acre. True, the
land lies just outside the city limits
Of the county seat, but it Is not to be
cut into city lots. 1t will be used for
raising fruit and vegetables. In other
words, the purchaser, w. o. Simpson,
expects to make the interest on his
$500 land, and considerable profit be-
sides.
This shows what careful, intelligent
farming and gardening will do. If Mr..
Simpson can make money on his high
priced land, need his neighbors on
farms equally productive feel discour-
aged? We in this country must prac-
tice intensive agriculture There Is
abundant evidence that this will pay.
