TREED AND NETTED.
The Why Hunters Capture the Grams
OutanR Alive.

Trapping the smaller members of the
monkey family is comparatively easy
matter, but the hunter who wishes TO
secure live specimens of the orans
outang cannot have recourse to the
usual methods and has TO employ a
laborious process. The process is based
upon the fact that the orangs have Il
liking for certain trees and frequent
these to the exclusion of other nearby
growtbs. They seem to regard them
as a sanctuary and flee to them in time
Of danger. Asccrtaning tree partc.
ularly favored, the hunter, first drives
his quarry to its branches; then while
his beaters keep IN a din for the pur
pose OF preventing an attempt at es-
cape the natives are set to work TO
chop at the trees within Il radius of
fifty feet all about the simian fortress.
No trunk Is cut completely through,
but Is left with Just enough fiber to
hold the tree in position. This work Is
quickly accomplished with the large
corps of servants, and ut signal one
Of the trees is topplcd over, The chop
ping has been so done that the falling
tree carries with it its neighbor. and in
the twinkling of an eye the trees with
in radius of fifty feet from the mark
ed tree lie upon the ground. leaving
the orang outangs with no opportunity
for getting away through their leafy
avenues of escape. The remainder of
the process simply consists of chopping
nets over the escaping orangs, in which
they soon become entangled IN thei
efforts TO throw Off the incumbrance.

A Caution About Stalk Fields

Although the season Is young as yet

cows pastured on corn stalk fields.

Tides Upon Land and sea.

A correspondent of the Geodetic
Survey has recently made observa.
tions with the seismograph at Ma,,-
rltius that have led to the suggestion
that not only the ocean and tho at
mosphcrc but even the land may ex-
pericnco the effects of daily tide
running round and round the earth as
1t revolves on its axis.
But, while tho tides IN the air and
the sea arc due more to the moon
than to the sun, the supposed "land
tide" arises solely from the suns ac-
tion.
Moreover, 1t Is caused not by the at.
traction Of the sun but by it's heat. A
wave of depression is supposed to fol.
low the sun from east to west. caused
by the extraction Of moisture from the
soil. g
At Mauritius 1t is found that there
is a relative upheaval of tho land to
the west of the place of observation
from morning until evening and a
relative depression on the same side.
OF an upheaval to tho east, during tho
same night.

VI, 100000 the past year without the
slightest shame or nervousness. And
yet the daryman follows this COW as
though he had never known freedom
from such an encumbrance.
The dairyman who say that dairy.

The dairyman is not exactly easy in

ing, or he lays the blame to Ill luck
or a poor price for milk; or perchance
he says he cannot afford to keep good
cows, forgetting that he could less
afford to keep poor or worthless ones.
But see, the hands of science aud
the most successful dairy experience
have provided him key to the situa.
ton. AS soon as ever he sees ito,
that he might see.--he will make use
of the scales and Babcock tcst aud
find what every COW on the place is
doing for him-or against him. Armed
with that knowledge. faithfully fur.
nished by the dairy and agricultural
press, lie will never follow that pious
old fraud of spendthrift COW again.
The cow for this dairyman Is the
other one shown. She has learned the
knack Of turning feed into milk and
butter fat. She represents the aver
age production of the best fourth Of
the dairy cows of Illinois 600 pounds
OF butter fat per year) and this dairy.
man should get better acquainted with
her. She Is better COW than he
thought. In fact. he has not thought
enough about this cow or known how
many such are In his herd. He cannot
know without using the key--weigh.
ing and testing the milk of each cow
for the year. He would have a vastly
easier time of II if he were tied to
this cow and to this COW alone. And
as sure as he uses the scales and test
and comes to know each cows pro-
duction, he. like all other dairymen
who have tried 1t, will gradually
change his herd to this kind of high
producers. And that will inevitably
lead to more profit in his business
to better education for his family, to
more comfortable home. and to tho
convenicnces and privileges that so

less COW have cancelled or concealed
the profits of the good COW, just as
human idlers are tax upon their fell
lows. The good COW has to do tho
work for both. Not knowing the pro-
ducton of either, the dairyman has
overestimated the good one. One COW
OF the good kind, producing SOC
pounds OF butter fat per year, Is actu
ally worth to the dairyman more than
40 cows of the other kind. When the
dairyman knows the good COWS In HE
herd-knows how good they archie
will be just as anxious to tie to them
as they are willing and faithful tc

When will the dairyman start tho
rebellion (and the test, throw Off his

Americans don't take to The idea of

nois dairyman has uncoRsciously drift
ed into the condition of the man in the
picture. He is not chained to a fellow
prisoner or to q post, but to a COM
mon altogether too common) brute
to a worthless, willful COW.
He doesn't know where he Is going;
he simply follows the COW. That's
how he got tied up to this creature; !;
he didn't know what he was doing,
nor what the COW was doing--or rath.
er what she wasn't doing. In fact,
there's been altogether too little look.
ing and doing in this mans business.
The dairyman has blindly followed
without figuring; he has worked hard
with his hands but little with his lead
pencil, and the dollars have come his
way very reluctantly. And as for the
COW the only thing she has done right
well is--the dairyman; she Is doing"
him beautifully. II the dairyman ever
gets hold of that big key there'll be
something doing" in that dairy! He
will soon hand over his end of the
chain to the butcher.
The COW is not worried. She Is not
disposed to look ON tho dark side of
life as long as she can 60 where she
pleases and get living without earn
ing it, Thus far she has found no
trouble In pulling her owner along
without his asking any questions. and
she now feels sure that her milk rec
ord will never be inquired into. She
doesn't know about the key within his
reach.
That chain has never CALLED her
shoulder, but she has plenty OF gall
for all that. She has been satisfied to
make 133 pounds of butter fat in a
year and to return to her owner a
clear profit Of II cents in those 3G5
days. If the dairyman had 474 COWS
If this kind he could make from them
Just one dollar day! With that he
could keep soul and body together.
But do not mistake this COW for a
rare specimen of an almost extinct
family. On the contrary, she is very
common and popular on all our prai-
ries. She Is a cow of consequence
and not to be sneezed at and dismissed
from mind. She Is, in fact, a leader;
she leads that dairyman land a great
many others) where she will, while she
grazes contentedly. She also has a
following of one-fourth the million
cows in Illinois-250,0 900 of them have
learned bold assurance in using the
dairyman's feed and barn and time
and capital for cent and half a
week per head. This COW is right now
doing a great stroke OF business in
Illinois dairying. The only stroke
that can ever get ahead of her is the
stroke of the butchers mallet on her
head.
II may be said to the credit of this
COW that she is not vicious animal
The dairyman has nothing to fear
from her horns or her feet. She Is a
well.behaved creature, familiar to
every farmer. and usually there is
nothing suspicious about her manner.
But. when 1t comes TO rcmorseless
stealing OF the bread from the mouths
Of the dairyman's family her tribe
may well be classed with the great
business sharks. She has kept the
