Land Crabs.

Crabs are generally supposed to live
in the ocean, but there is one species
that lives on the land. 1t Is found on
the island Of Jamaica, In the West In
dies. 1t burrows In the sand some
times two or three miles from the sea.
1t has two long claws. In attacking an
enemy 1t binds 1t with one claw, which
is then thrown Off, and then continues
the fight with the free claw. The
crabs stay in the ground during the
day and hunt for their food at night.
They visit the ocean once year to lay
their eggs. They travel by night, when
they are caught in great numbers.

a shoot or small potato, while the
original potato does not grow any

THE roots of plants go downward
in search of moisture, but they will
not go down in saturated 81 ound.
To prevent them from spreading
out near the surface and to cause
them to strike down strong and
deep, in order that they may get a
larger feeding ground and get away
from the dry surface of the earth,
water should be withheld until the
roots have had a chance 70 go

downward deeply into the moist

IDAHO OVfRRUN With
ANTELOPE. ELK. DEER

Western Wyoming, Eastern and
Northern Idaho are overrun With /
antelope, elk and deer, and probably 4
the coming year will be the greatest /
game season in the history of the /
west. Over in Jackon Hole and the
Teton Basin the elks have become
so bold that ranchers are obliged
to guard their hay ricks from the |
nocturnal raids of the big game.
lanes Walsh, we'll known
rancher living we'll UP in Jackson
Hole, sends out this thrilling story
''The heavy SHOWS in Jackson Hole
have driven the big game down by
thousands. l believe there are today
more elk, deer and antelope in
Jackson Hole than there were ten
years ago. They have suddenly APP
peared in great numbers. 1t is hard
to tell where they came from, but
suppose they must have been
grazing high up in the mountains.
Ranchers have been forced to build
stockades around their hay. Last
week a hay rick containing probably
ten tons of timothy was destroyed in
one night by herd of elk. There
must have been 5000 in the herd.
Soon after that built wire stock
ade around my other rick. This
did pretty we'll for three nights,
but on the fourth night the elk be-
came ravenously hungry. They
dashed down on that rick, and the
n ext morning posts, wire and all
were gone.
Three or four crippled elk that
had been injured in the attack on
the stockade were left behind to tell
the tale. Hundreds of elk and an
telopes are to be seen with every
big bunch of cattle. 1t is impossible
to separate the game from the cat
tie, and the consequence is that
pretty near every rancher is feeding
one elk to every three cattle he
owns.
THE only outrage against the
big game that has been reported
this season was perpetrated in the
; Teton Baisn. 1t seems that after
, the big blizzard a herd of 100 elk
came down out of the mountains

The hunters soon sighted them and
killed every elk in the herd. The
carcasses of the elk minus the tusks

that severe cold can be completely

The first symptoms of cold are dry,
loud cough, profuse watery discharge
from the nose, and thin, white coat

on the FIRST appearance of these symp-
toms, it counteracts the effect of the
cold and restores the system to a
