MAKING HABITAT GROUPS.
Most Minute Details Are Reproduced at
Great Expense.

Stufing the skins of birds and on ami
mals is no longer the method useu in
up-to-date taXidermy. The latest thing
Is the manikin system.
This IS the method employed in the
preparation of the So-called habitat
groups. showing birds and animals in
their natural surroundings In making
these groups expense is not spared.
Pieces of rock, stones, shells. trees,
plants and even earth are brought from
the localities whose general chara cteriS-
ties are to be produced. The artist who
IS to paint the background goes to the
very place itself and paints from nature.
II leaves or small. soft twigS are to
be reproduced, plaster impressions are
taken of the real objects and melted wax
line and vein is shown. The wax leaf
or twig is then sprayed with paint. says
Il writer in Fur News, the operator using
an air brush so as not TO put on more
paint than IS necessary.
In some instances the leaves are pune
tured to represent injuries inflicted by
insects. The finished leaves are attach ed
to the stems Of the plants or trees so skill
fully that they have every appearance of
growing there. Two men and two women
are employed at the museum continually
in this branch of the work alone
In representing water, sheets of ccllu-
lOid are used. which are so strong that
when placed in position in the case they
will bear the weight of man. This
substance is used to great advantage in
this branch of the work. as it may be cut
to any shape and may also be bored full
of holes to admit the stems of water
grasses, cattailS, etc, without danger of
breaking.

lustration. there is often foot or two
of space to be divided between the two
sides. As our readers who have had
experience in dehorning know, an ami
NAL will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute and thereby cause a constant az
gravatiOn. The chute proper is mount
ed on two heavy timbers which may be
4X4's or 4XG's, while the uprights are
generally 4X4's. The stanchiOn is made
to open and close and secured in any
way that suits. The convenient part of
the chute is the trough shaped part
marked Ii. This is made Of tWO-inch
stuff and securely fastened TO bottom
croSSpieces. After the animal is secur-
ed in the stanchion a halter is thrown
over it's head and the halter rope is
passed through the hole just below the
letter H. The letter 4 shows a contin-
uatiOn of this rope to the pole which is
used as a lever to bring the animals
head into position on the trough.
As soon as this is accomplished the
rope B is thrown over the neck of the
animal and secures the head firmly to
the trough, when the dehorning opera
ton may be performed. AS soon as the
operation is concluded the animal is
tnstanchioned and one of the sides f,f
the chute is hinged so that it nv be
opened for the animal to esrIpe from
the chute, after which IS, closed and
another animal is driven in.-Montreal

Wagon Box Device.

There are various ways OF removing
a wagon box from the trucks and one
of these is described in Iowa Home
stead. The upright pole is 4 by by II
feet and is set several feet in the
ground, so that it will be firm enough
in its position to stand the strain which
is required of it. The platform on
which the rear end Of the wagon box
rests when it is to be raised from the
wagon may be made any height so as
to suit the height of the trucks. Two

three or four weeks after the flowers
fall.
4. Spray with arsenate of lead
about July 20.

the rate of two pounds per barrel Of
Bordeaux or water.
Make Bordeaux as follows: Blue
stone, four pounds quicklime, six
pounds; water, fifty gallons.
Stake the lime, dissolve the blue
stone, dilute each with half the re-
CURED quantity of water and mix
thoroughly.
Use good noZzles and maintain a
high pressure as uniformly as possible

drenching any part Careless spraying
should not be tolerated.

The Family Cow.

Families that keep only one COW
should endeavor to have the best ami
NAL that can be procured. More labor
is required to care for a single COW,
broportionately, than for a herd. A
COW for the family should give a large
TOW of milk for at least ten months Of
The year, and the milk should contain
not less than 4 per cent of butter fat.
as cream is one of the essentials. It
is better to have q COW that gives even
richer milk, but the majority of fami-
" COWS are selected without regard to
merits IN that respect. 1t is difficult
To rear the calves in such cases, hence
in purchasing the family COW it will
be profitable to pay a high price for
superior animal.

The Small Garden.

The small garden is the one that
the majority of those who cultivate
small gardens make no profit, but ac-
tually suffer a loss, when the crops are
compared with the prices received and
the cost of seeds, fertilizers and labor
But there is considerable pleasure de-
rived, the value Of which cannot be
estimated. No matter how small the
plot owned or rented may be, the one
who can bestow a portion of his time
to the cultivation of crops the coming
spring should do so. There are some
things grown in a garden that cannot
easily be procured in market, when the
freshness and quality are considered
No one can buy tomatoes in market
equal to those taken from the vines
and placed in fresh condition on the
table. If the plot is very fertile, and
is not equal to more than half an acre,
the amount of produce that may be
grown thereon will supply whole fam
lily from early spring until late in the
fall. Beginning with onions and peas,
beets, carrots, parsnips and early cab
bage, followed with string beans, Lima
beans, tomatoes, corn, turnips and late
cabbage, two crops can be grown on
the same location during the season.
Potatoes need not be planted in a gar
den, as this crop demands protection
from the beetle. In April or May, if
desired, small strawberry patch may
be started, which will come into bear
ing the following spring.

end of the upright pole near its upper
end. From there it continues on to a
pulley hooked in a rope which passes
around the front end Of the wagon box,
then back over a pulley in the top of
the pole and down to a windlass at the
rear end Of the platform. When the
wagon box is in its final position on the
platform, it should stand upright and
should be left attached to the rope,
so that it cannot be blown down in case

What Stunned Pat,

Pat had just arrived from Ireland, and
as he was walking away from the Que
bee docks met an American who was on
his way to Dawson. He asked Pat to
go, too Pat at first would not go, but
when the American told him he might
get rich there he readily consented. They
went by degrees, catching free ride at
any possible chance: When at last they
arrived in the gold fields they staked
their claims and settled down to bust
ness. They dug for some time, but with
out success. At last they determined
to give it up. Pat was very low-spirited,
as he was out of funds. They deter
mined to quit the next day. In the even
ing, as they were talking it over, the
American, thinking to crack a joke on
Pat, said:
why could not l dress you up as a
monkey and exhibit you?"
"Wa-al, where'I we get the other
man?' Pat innocently replied.
What other manifested the Ameri-
can.
why" rejoined Pat, ''the man to tell
which end of the string the monkeys

there is any cooperative spirit should

fairly well bred cows. Every male

but for SIX or ten years of service.
The COWS thus produced will find a
more ready market, because there are
a sufficient number to attract purchas-
ers Higher priced males may also
be purchased with economy because of
the much longer period of usefulness.

Sparrow Hawk Killing Off sparrows

says that the English spar~ows in this
part of the country, which have been
such a pest for good many years, are
no longer increasing in numbers and that
they have almost entirely ceased to be
the nuisance they TO merly were
The reason lie gives is that the spar

sparrows, he says. stay near the build

A feeling of general weakness, poor

est exercise and broken sleep arc some
OF the symptoms Of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
60 each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better

of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. a
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. J. @. Havey, of 95 Willow St.,

number Of years from general debility
and Indigestion. / was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were SO
shattered that the least excitement I'M

sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small Of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for a month
or two. MYsight grew weak, there seem

on my work, and the attempt to do SO
completely exhausted me.
