eagle and a stag. The bird singled IL
from Il herd one particular buck, which

1t struck the animal with it's powerful
wings. knocked 1t down and finally
killed it.
a still more remarkable spectacle II
we'll authenticated. An eagle attacked
a fawn in the highlands. The cries of
the little n Wee answered by its
dam. which sprang upon the eagle and
struck it repeatedly with its forefeet.
Fawn, deer and eagle rolled down a
declivity. the bird was dislodged from
its hold and the fawns rescued.
Many traditions are extant as to the
carrying off of children by eagles. The
most recent case bearing close scrutiny
Is one which happened In South Africa.
\ Boer farmer whose stock had been
married by eagles lay in ambush for
h robbers and saw n OF them de-
scend and carry off the five-year-old
child OF one OF his Kafir servants. He
shot the bird, which. with the child
still clutched in Its grip, fell into Il
thorn BUSH. The bird was dead. but the,
child was little hurt.

FROM PASTURE TO BARN.

Those who advocate the use of dogs in
driving the cows to and from the pasture
may be right provided they have the right
sort of a dog but there are few dogs that
ran be trusted to do their duty properly;
none unless they are trained from puppy
hood. The average dog consigned to this
work barks and generally annoys the ami
mails until they are more or less fright
ened. some of them fighting and all of
them running. This running the cows
from the pasture to the barn does much
moro injury than generally supposed and
assuredly makes the flow of milk much
less. The supply Of milk depends very
largely upon the condition of mind OF the
cow; if she Is happy and commended she
gives down her milk freely and the food
she consumes makes rich milk OF the best
quality; II she is frightened her milk
loses both in quality and quantity.

Strangest of all the articles

"As an instance of the necessity for
more help for the tree inspector we
might notice that one day this week
there were eleven cars of trees waiting
for inspection. These eleven cars were
in Delta and Paonia. At best it would
take the Inspector eleven days to in
spect them. All the time that this in
spection is going on the inspectors rec
ords show that there are orchards that
need attention at this very minute be-
fore the trees leaf out but it is impos-
