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.

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.

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 she will often travel miles up
stream, so as to leave no scent, and,
as rule, she succeeds in accomplish
ing her purpose.
The bulls have peculiar granting
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 / have called them under
the branches of the tree in which
have been sitting from distances as
great as a 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.
AntIers 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 minute to a
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

of the business. When hen mouths
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 moultlng in the early fall
and the plan of the California station
is to hasten this time into early sum-
mer. This Is accomplished by method
of light feeding, followed with heavy
feeding. The egg-laying is stepped
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 60 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 the
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.

To Keep Err Records.

The Maine Experiment Station has
published a description of nest box
which is claimed to be simple and in
expensive, and certain in its action,
for use where it is desired to keep a
record of how hens are laying, in order
to weed out the poor ones Of the flock.
The station has used these nests in ex-
periments undertaken to establish
breeds of hens that shall excel as egg
producers. A description of this box,
and how to make it can be found in
farmers bulletin No. ia, of the De
partment Of Agriculture.

Tropical Fruits.


There is something fascinating in the
development of tropical fruits, those
things which we can not grow In the
emperate and colder climates, where
Jack Frost is sure to reap his annual
harvest. There is the mango, for in
stance, which the Department of Ag-
riculture is growing in Porto Rico, and
the alligator pear, most delicious
tropical vegetable-fr the pepino, and
a score of others which will stand little
or no frost. To most persons there is
a glamOr and fascination about the
tropics and its products. We have in
the United States no tropical section.
Frosts or chills Of atmosphere are
likely to visit us at all points. In
Porto Rico and the Philippines, how
ever, are found the genuine tropical
conditions where nothing worse occurs
than the hurricane which sweeps away
every vestige of vegetation, house and
occupants; but there is no frost.
While we have taken control Of
Porto Rico and the Philippines, never.
theless, it Is the constant endeavor Of
the home government to cross and by.
bridize tropical with hardy fruits 50
that they will stand the cold and
frost of northern climes. The artifi-
cial evolution Of the hardy orange Is
an example of this.
By selection and cross breeding,
plants can become wonderfully well
acclimated and as result the northern
varieties and species are gradually in
vading the southern fields, while the
northern orchards are constantly being
augmented by new species hitherto
exclusively southern in temperament.
