"HUMANE" ANIMAL TRAINING.
A Buffalo Taught To 'Eat Out of The
Hand.

Uncle Dan Boyington is known
throughout the west as the most
humane animal trainer in the world,
says Leslie's Weekly. The golden
rule which he practices, as well as
breaches to other trainers, is. "Treaf
dumb animal as you would like to
be treated were you yourself dumb
animal" The government reports Off
cially state that buffaloes are abso
lutely untamable, but he owns tame
buffalo and has trained him TO per
form almost anything which he wants
him to do, and the animal goes
through IS tricks willingly and nose.
about after rewards just as the mules
do. The performances with the buff
falo is most interesting to those who
realize how difficult L is to gain the
confidence of these natives of the
plains. When the buffalo, which is
named Nibs, was first put into train
ing two years ago he was confined in
n corral with double-braced partitions,
where Uncle Dan would come to make
friends with him through the bars
All friendly advances were at first
recognized by Nibs rum ng at gallon
and butting against the gate with such
force that Uncle Dan was in constant,
fear that he would break his horns.
After few days when Nibs would
discover any one looking at him
through the bars, he was still indig-
nant, but less savage. BY degrees he
consented to eat sweet potatoes stuck
on the end of long pole and by grad
ual,y shortening the length Of the polr

broom and sweep the shaggy hide
very gently. This caused a pleasing
sensation to Nibs and slowly he began
to understand thai Uncle Dan meant
well and had no intention of hurting
him. Uucle Dan has taught his buff
falo to stand on ire see-saw, to roll
a barrel with his horns and TO shoot
a cannon by pulling rope. There is
also am Asiatic buffalo in his troupe
of animals which accomplishes the
same tricks.
Il thoroughly believe in bribery
when it comes to animals" said Uncle
Dan to the writer, and coaxing is very
ethcacious with humans as well.
Through food one first gains the con-
tidence of a dumb brute and by gentle
treatment and coaxing and caressing
he comes To trust one. When faith
is once established the hardest part OF
training is done. | make 1t a rule to
never brighten an animal. If 1 want
to put rope around his neck let
him see and smell the rope first, then
l stroke his back with it; after while
1t is around his neck and he is not

I the rope and holding a reward out in
front he moves forward to get the re-
ward and gradually associates this
pulling with moving forward and NOV.
ing forward with getting something to
eat. Even the widest animal may be
taught to lead in few hours by this
method.
1t is never good plan to force al
animal, and it is never wise to do any
thing secretly. Let him see what 1,

so much competition among the men
to win the women the men strive
harder for success and seek to make
themselves more attractive. While
our women are as vivacious as the
Spanish women, their manner is
more gentle. They have the wit OF
the French women, and are at the
same time more constant. Family
life among us is very delightful.

ings with printers to-day. Many print
ers asserted that they would rather
have the most fuzzylegged fly in the
world crawl over their bald spots than
have Johnson startle them by banging
them suddenly on the brow with his
bat. Mr. Stillings finally compromised
the matter by ordering johnson to
confine his labors to flies that were
temporarily absent from the persons
of printers.
Mr.. Silhngs pays SO much head
for flies, and has taken measures to
prevent the importation of deceased
flies from outside on the pretence that
they fell victims to the prowess Of the
hy-killers. He will pay only for those
actually slain in combat, and they
must all die in the house.
A boy in the office slew eighteen
flies in his home yesterday and
brought them to Larkins. offering to
add them to that officials stock if Lar
kins would divide the fly bounty with
him. Larkins sternly refused and re.
ported the youthful CRATER to Mr..
Stillings, who reprimanded him. In
order to prevent such attempts in
future the flies are now left where
they fall, and at the close of the day
Mr.. Stillings makes a round of the
Office and counts up the dead.

MOUSE AND THE CANARY.
How Poushkeepsie Judges Pet Lost
Her Dinners.


Sweet sings gayly these days in the
private Office of Judge Mccarthy.
chief magistrate, in the Poughkeepsie
city hall. Sweet is a bundle of yellow,
downy canary feathers, and she has
been in the judges private room on
the second floor of the building for a
long time, says the New York tost.
Sweet, all unmindful of the battles OF
life and law that are being fought SO
close to her, skips about her golden
cage in the shadows of one great tree
that throws its refreshing shade into
the room.
The bird knows Judge Mccarthy,
and his entrance into the Office is al
ways the signal for the hvenest hop
ping 2out and singing. And how
Sweet can sing. Throwing her head
to one side, che MARBLES, trills, ant
winds it all up with the cneeriest
notes imaginable.
But there was a time when Swee
did not pipe her little lay so jauntily
Judge Mccarthy noticed that his PEI
was growing cold toward him-at leas
that is what he thought-and as he
would sit at his big roll-top desl
Sweet would look at him pitfully ant

Il guess Sweets moulting,T the
judge would say to his friends, ant
then Sweet would look them all ovel
and just humble little protest. AnC
the bird seemed to grow thin and its
feathers dropped, until not only the
judge but court attaches began to fear
that Sweet was really i'll.
1t had been noticed that while plent.
of food-dainty bird seed, bits of cut
tie and the like-was placed in the
cage every morning, it was always
gone, and yet the bird seemed to be
starving. One day, going hurridly in
to the private Office, the judge saw {
mouse jump from the bird cage to tn,
| desk and thence to the floor and dis
appear. The secret was out. The
cage had been hung right where the
mischievous mouse could jump to y
from the desk, and each day it bat
been stealing Sweets seeds and water
while the poor canary huddled hal
frightened to death in the upper cor
ner of the cage.
1t did not take long to swing the
little brass house up high on chande
lier, far from the reach of thiev'ns
rodents, and soon Sw ct was back il

Washington. Nov. 17-Public Printer
Stillings creation OF the offices OF
chief fly-killer and assistant fy-killer
In the government printing Office has
given much satisfaction to bald-headed
printers there. Chief Larkins and AS
sistant johnson are on the job with
little bats made of sticks Of wood and
with wire f1y-screens. Larkns has a
batting average Of 300, while johnson
Is about seventy-five behind, but gain
ing.
The weather has been so warm here
that the flies have shown no DISPOSE
ton to quit their regular routes. AS
is well known, fly has no sense.
Most people after alighting on a bald
head and finding that it contained no
nutriment, would go somewhere else,
but fly after thoroughly exploring a
shiny surface will return to it a mo-
ment later and begin its studies al,
over again.
Il has been estimated that the gov
eminent loses in the case of each
printer as much as seventeen minutes
3 week in slarping, and the TRIAL loss
of time in a year is enormous. It Is,
Of course, historical fact that no one
by slapping has ever been able to de-
stroy fly or to prevent one from re-
turning to it's investigations the next
moment, but it is impossible to induce
men to refrain from slapping. Hence
the appointment of Messrs. Larkins
and Johnson is expected to produce
great results In the way of bringing
the department up to high standard
Of efficiency.

Mr.. Larkins, as more enthusiastic and

gressive stochman picks his breeds of
stock. In Germany they plant trees
which pay best and the low grade and
inferior species are gradually disap-
pearing from the forests where they
once grew. The tree which produces
the most lumber and the best grade
with the least care and expense is Sc
lected because it pays best.
Mr.. Techman cites the Norway
spruce, now extensively grown in the
Saxon forests, as an instance of a
superior species replacing timbers of
lower grade. 1t is planted because it
produces so much wood and can be
turned to many uses. The trunk is so
proport.oned that Mr.. Tiechman says
so per cent of the tree is fit .or
structural purposes. Fortunately the
beech held an important place in that
region, but only 20 per cent of its
trunk was available for lumber
The forests OF the United States con-
tain a profusion OF species, planted in
natures way, and growing as best
they can. There is wide difference
in the value of wood Of different
species and as forestry develops and
mans control It may be expected that
tree growing is brought more under

seen in Germany.
Uproductive trees will cease to-
cumbber the land and species Of great
er value will take their place: The ten
dency in that direction is already to-
be seen in the forest services tree
planting. The best kinds only are Sc
lected, the pines. oaks, ashes, escalyp

GERMANY HAS MODEL FORESTS.
United States May Begin to Exter-
inmate Unproductive Trees.


No nation in the world makes more
thorough utilization of its forest re
sources than Germany, says the Kan
sas City Star. Many years ago that
country awakened to the necessity OF
applying the same methods of bust
ness economy to the management OF
its forest lands that are applied to its
operations in trade, and the result is
that Germany's practice of forestry
has served as model for all other
countries.
v illiam c. Tiechman, United States
Consul in Eibenstock, Germany, in a
recent report lays special stress on
the fact that in the state forests of
that country the inferior tree species
are being rejected and excluded by
the foresters in charge, and the
best are taking their places.
The state forests OF Saxony are
cited by Mr.. Tiechman as an example
Of high development of resources
From a total forest area of only 443,
105 acres, net revenue of s2.126,037
was realized in 1906, and that was
about the average income during each
of the ten preceding years. The in
portance of these figures is only
realized when it is known that Sax
