Hatred Cherished by Some Horses.

times load themselves up with the great

A pig rises up today only to be cut
down tomorrow. He is with us but a

either making or losing money fast.
1t all depends upon his owner.
A chicken-eating SOW is an abomina-
ton and is not worth her keep unless
she can be confined in a hen-tight en-
closure
Give the hogs shade and plenty of
air with it. A tight, dark pen is poor
place for hogs in hot weather.
While a hog will drink dirty water,
clean water will make better pork.
IF a pig is allowed to wallow in
barnyard pool he will never get over
the habit but will always return to it,

No matter at what season the sows

Men who used to find it highly profit
able to maintain a big herd of cattle on
the western plains, not being particular
whether or not the land upon which the
stock fed was their own, are now finding
the business not quite so profitable as it
used to be. This is one reason why the
sale of range cattle this season promises
to be greater than in any previous year.
1t is predicted that many Of the great
range cattle raisers will this fall de-
eide to go out Of the business entirely
and will therefore sell out their entire
stock AS a matter of fact already
several of the largest herds that ever
tramped the western ranges have been
taken to the markets to make room for
the man with the hoe.

like to feed sheep for market should be
sure to convince themselves that it is

above everything proper qualifications

must consist of untiring energy, perse-

of these larvae was seen last April in
the woods near Arcachon. The pro.
cessions are formed both at night,
when the creatures make excursions
from their nest to feed on the young
leaves, and in the daytime, when they
descend to the ground to seek place
in the sand where they may burrow

of fly was observed attacking the
procession above mentioned, to lay its
eggs in the marching larvae.

How Flowers Were Named.

1t is interc" ing to XIV how certain
flowers got heir names. Many were
named after individuals. For instance,
fuchsias were so called because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named for Andrew Dahl,
who brought them from Peru. The
camelia was so called for a missionary
named Kamel, who brought some mag.
nificent specimens of the flower to
France from Japan. He called 1t the
rose of Japan, but his friends changed
1t to camelia. Magnolias were named
in honor of Prof Magnol De Mont.
pelier, who first brought the beautiful
trees to France from America and
Asia. Because they tremble with the
wind is the meaning of anemones. The
Latin word to wash is lavare and Law
ender received its name because the
Romans put the flowers into the water
when they washed to perfume their
hands.

GLUED THEM DOWN
HOW A SKIPPER SAVED HIS SHIP
FROM sAvAoEs.
South Sea Island Natives Were Decid.
eddy UP Against II When They
Mixed Things with
Capt. McCabe.

ut was when | was trading around
the South sea islands that had a
narrow escape from band of savages
that were going to take my ship" said
Capt. McCabe, the veteran sailor who
has now settled ashore to pass his
days In leisure, to a Seattle Post.Intel-
ligenCer man. 1T came near having a
serious ending for me, but came out
ahead after all.
Il was sailing in a pretty little
schooner the Matte W., and we had
a general cargo for trading. Setting
on deck were about 20 cases of a glue
that was never known to let go, but
we couldn't sell a bit of it.
We'll we got down to Milecello, one
of the group of the New Hebrides, and
there we anchored in Manley bay. The
snowy sand of the beach was shaded
by waving palms and the sheltered
waters of the bay were warm and as
clear as crystal. We lay there for
week resting up and cleaning up the
ship. We had been trading for almost
a year then and there was nothing left
but the glue and that was piled along.
side the companion way.
We'll, one afternoon | let all the
crew go ashore, and they were inland
or away swimming in the clear water.
| lay down to have a snooze. Sudden.
ly | was awakened by a sharp jolt and
all around me were South sea sayages.
They were armed with spears, bows
and arrows and stone tomahawks.
Their actions were hostile and | saw
right away that | was up against 1t. |
was alone on the vessel with all these
armed heathens.
Just then | happened to touch one
of those glue boxes and in a fash an
idea came to me. There was large
bunch standing near the main fife rail
and | grabbed five bottles and threw
them at that crowd of savages one
after the other. The bottles were thin
glass and every one broke. Then, be-
fore the savages could recover their
wits, | started throwing more. The
glass would break and the glue ran all
over them. When they tried to walk
the glass would cut their feet and in
a few minutes | had that whole crowd
of savages glued to the deck unable to
move. The glue hardened almost in
stantly on touching the air and this
was what saved me.
When | saw that they were all
caught | signaled for the crew to re-
turn and then we weighed anchor and
put off for Charlotte, in the Gilbert
islands, wherN there were laborers
wanted | wasn't engaging in the
slave trade, mind you, because these
natives had come on board OF their
own free will and hadn't left.
AT Charlotte planter offered to
pry those sayages loose from the deck
and give $1,000 to boot, and | let him
do it. That planter also took all the
rest OF the glue that we had.
THAT was one of the most fortunate
voyages that ever | made"
