HUNTING MAHOGANY.
Il Takes an Experienced Woodsman to

II Takes an Experienced Woodsman to
iocat, the Trees.
Mahogany trees DO not grow In clus-
ters. but are scattered throughout the
forest ami hidden In a dense growth
of underbrush. vines and creepers and
require skillful and experienced
woodsmau to find them. He seeks the
highest ground in forest climbs to
the top of the tallest tree and surveys
the surrounding country. The mahog-
any has peculiar foliage, and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight.
The axmen follow the hunter, and
then come the sawycrs and hewers, q
large mahogany taking two men full
day to fell IT, The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk at Its
base, and scaffOlds must be erected so
thJt the tee can be cut off above the
spurs. This leaves stump ten to fif'
teen feet high. which is sheer waste,
as the stump really contains the best
lumber
The hunter has nothing to do with
the work Of cutting or removing the
tree. his duty being simply to locate
it. If lie !; cleYer and energetic. his
remuneration may amount to 5000 or
$1,000 month. but he may travel
weeks ut Il time without detecting a
tree and ~ he Is generally paid by
results his rainings are rather precari-

Value of Rape for Swine.

Rape is likely to prove fully as valu
able for swine feeding as it is for sheep,
there being loss risk in feeding it 10
swine, as they do not bloat on it nor
scour, If fed properly. 1t is an excellent
crop for pasturing brood sows and
young pigs. For late summer or early
fall past uring is is especially valuable.
During the heated season swine are
most liable to have fevers, cholera and
other arrangements and there is no
doubt but that pasturing them on such
a succulsnt crop as rape adds to their
thrift and vigor, and thereby lessons the
losses that are liable to occur in these
months. Rape seems especially valuable
for swine feeding during the hot sum-
mer months, because OF its succnlence
and the relish of swine for it. For these
reasons We urge swine breeders and
feeders to try it on small scale for this
purpose.-Aaine Farmer.

Growing Rutabagas.

Rutabagas are grown as a main crop
for winter use, and their culture is
similar to that of the fiat turnip. They
require a good, rich, moist soil and
must be grown quickly. Seed may be
sown any time from June 10 to July 10
in drills one inch deep and eighteen
inches apart, moderately thick. Thin
to six inches apart. Stir the soil at
least once week to kill weeds and con-
serve moisture. They are rich, succu,
lent vegetable, heavy yislder and an
excellent vegetable for winter use.
They may be subjected to few heavy
frosts, but should be harvested before
heavy freezing weather sets in. They
may be stored in any ordinary cellar,
provided they are we'll covered with
moist, not wet, sand or soil. The best
varieties are Family Rutabaga and
Champion or Swsde.-Garden Magazine

Teams Changing. Dehornlng Again.

agricultural Editor Democrat:
Not long since it was said that fifty
years ago all the farm work and truck

and that now all the work is done with
horses, not a yoke of oxen being owned
In town. While visiting in Hartford
and the adjoining towns last fall notic-
ed that the same change has obtained
to some extent, the farmers now using
either kind as their fancy leads them.
Hartford and Sumner have long been
noted for fancy OK teams, have taken
good share of the premiums at the cattle
shows in the past, and it will probably
be long while before they will be
wholly superseded b. horses.
But the finest steer team noticed in
that section was owned by George Z.

Barrows is so favorably located, and has

tice. He married Hattie, the oldest of
the three daughters of the late Lucius
B. Alley of Hartford, but. their family,
If such it may be called, hardly comes
up to the modern standard, only one son
ever calling them father and mother,
and he in every sense a young man.
Mr.. BarrOws informed me that his SOD
seemed inclined to remain with him on
the farm, and there is where his good
fortune comes in, in view OF the fact
that so many young men quit the farm
on attaining their majority, and engage
in some other kind of employment.
Hence We extend our congratulations to
Mr. Barrows and his happy little family.
During my interview with another
man in that section of the county, he in
yited me in to see his dairy cows, and
they were really worth looking at
There were ten in number, all red in
color and about of the same size, but
what looked strange to me was the fact
that they were all as destitute of horns
as the same number of horses would
have been.
Inquiring the reason of their being
hornless he said: "Probably those
weapons were given cattle in their wild
state for protection, but now they are
no longer necessary for that purpose,
consequently every cow that comes into
my possession is sure to lose her horns.
They mind it very little at the time, the
wound soon heals and that is the last of
it. Then If they get loose in the barn
or fail to get tied up, they can do no in
jury to others by goring them"
This is all true both in theory and
practice, and should 1t be objected to on
the ground that they are entitled to
their horns since nature causes them to
grow, it might be argued on the same
line that male colts and other animals
ought not to be castrated because ma
ture made them so. 1t will be seen at
once that the other man would have the
inside track.
