Habits Of Monkeys.

In their Wild state monkeys live in
the woods. OF the trees, and feed on
fruits. leaves and insects. They live
together in companies and never go
alone when they wish to rob an or
chard or find their food 1t seems as
If they laid regular plans, for part Of
them stand to watch the approach OF
enemies and part enter the field. They
form a straight line, reaching from
those within TO some place beyond
which is n retreat for them. When
they are all arranged In due order
those In the orchard near the trees
throw the fruit to those outside as fast
as they can gather II. These pass 1t
over to those nearest to them till the
fruit Is all nicely lodged In their hut
or retreat II the one who acts as
sentinel percelves any one coming, he
makes loud noise, and they all run
away. Yet even then they will take
some fruit under each Of their arms or
forepaws and also In their mouths.
They are mischievous animals and an.
noy travellers exceedingly by throwing
stones and sticks at them, and they
will frequently follow them for some
distance when they are passing through
the woods by leaping from tree to tree.
They are capable OF forming strong at
tachnents even with other animals,
and they exhibit mlldness, affection
and docility.

What have you been doing?"
Trescott sat on his box, the painter
guiltily moved from foot to foot, and
the angel child advanced to her mother
with arms outstretched, making pit
eous wall of amazed and panied pride
that would have moved Peter the
Great. Regardless Of her frock, the
painting mother knelt on the stone floor
and took her child to her bosom and
looked then, bitterly, scornfully, ut the
covering father and husband.
The painter, for his part, at once
looked reproachfully at Trescott, rs if
to say: There! You see!"
Trescott arose and extended his
hands in Il quiet but magnificent ges-
ture Of despair and WEAKNESS. He
seemed about to say something classic,
and. quite instinctively. they waited.

was longer than moment. Well" he

Horse Notes.

Feed the young colts grain regularly.
1t is no all wear that uses up the har-
ness. Lack of care will do it faster than
actual service. 1t pays to keep the
leather we'll cleaned and oiled.
Be generous in the use of the brushes,
but sparing in the use of the comb.
Good grooming should be done every
day to keep the pores open, the skin
healthy and the hair silky. Soft hair is
very warm and is noncOnductor OF
heat.
Never leave a reeking mess of wet
straw and manure under the horses. 1t
ruins the health and eyes and is dis
grace to any horse owner.
Scrub breeding gets scrub progeny
and brings scrub prices.
Too much at o meal and too much be-
tween meals are alike bad for the horse.
A little salt every day will keep the
colts free from worms. Barrel salt is
better than rock.
The poorer qualities of hay should
be cut and fed with molasses.
All hay should be well shaken up
and moistened by sprinkling little
water on it before feeding.

hear the dull roar Of this outrage. On
der some circumstances he might have
been able to take the situation from
point Of view OF comedy. but the agony
Of his wife was too acute and, for him.
too visible. She was saying: "Yes; we
saw the play the last time we were in
New York. I liked It very much. The
scene in the second act-the gloomy
church, you know, and all that and
the organ playing, and then when the
four singing little girls came IN But
Trescott cOmprehended that she did
not know IL she was talking Of a play
or a parachute.
He had not been in the room twenty
seconds before his brow suddenly
flushed with an angry inspiration. he
left the room hastily, leaving behind
him all incoherent phrase Of apology,
and charged upon his office, where he
found the painter somnolent
willis" he cried sternly, come with
me. It's that d-n kid Of yours!"
The painter was Immediately agitat-
ed. He always seemed to feel more
than any one else In the world the pc
culiar ability Of his child to create
resoundIng excitement, but he seemed
always to exhibit his feelings very
late. He arose hastily and hurried
after Trescott to the top Of the inside
cellar stairway. Trescott m0tioned
him to pause, and for an instant they
listened.
Hurry up, Jimw cried the busy lit
tie Cora. "Here's another whole batch
Of lovely puddings. Hurry up, now.
an put 'em In the oven."
Trescott looked at the painter; the
painter groaned. Then they appeared
violently in the middle OF the great
kitchen of the hotel with a thousand
people In 1t. Jimmie 60 upstairs!
said Trescott, and then he turned to
watch the painter deal with the angel
child.
With some imitation Of wrath the
painter stalked to his daughters side
and grasped her by the arm.
"Oh, papa, papa" she screamed.
"You're pinching me! You're pinching
me! You're plnching me, papa"
At first the painter had seemed re.
solved to keep his grip. but suddenly he
let go her arm In panic. "I'vc hurt
her. he said, turning to Trescott.
.TreSco.t had swiftly done much to-
ward the oblitcratIon of the hotel kitch-
en-, but he looked up now and spoke.
after a short period Of reflection.
"You've hurt her. have you? Well.
hurt her again. Spank her" he cried
enthusiastically. Spank her, confound
you, man, She needs it. Here's your
chance. Spank her, and spank her
good. Spank her!'
The painter naturally wavered over
this incendiary proposition, but at last.
in one supreme burst Of daring, he
shut his eyes and again grabbed bis
precious offspring.
The spanking was lamentably the

The mother rebuked him with look.
"Well. If 1t gives her pleasure, Ned,
she expostulated softly-"if 1t makes
the child happy to have the stove with
her. why shouldn't she have it?'
"Just So" said the doctor, with calm
ness.
Jinmie's Idea was the roaring fire
place in the cabin of the lone noun
taineer. At first he was not able to ad-
mire girls stove built on well known
domestic lines. He eyed 1t and thought
1t was very pretty, but it did not move
him Immediately. But a certain re-
spect grew to an interest, and he be-
came the angel child's accOmplice. And
even IL he had not had an Interest
grow upon him he was certain to have
been implicated sooner or later be-
cause of the imperiOus way of little
Cora, who made serf Of him in n
few swift sentences. Together they
carried the stove out into the desolate
garden and squatted it in the snow.
Jimmies snug little muscles had been
pitted against the sheer nervous vigor
Of this little golden haired girl, and he
had not won great honOrs. When the
mind blazed inside the small body, the
angel child was pure force. She be-
gan to speak: Now, Jim, get some pa
per. Get some wood-little sticks at
first. Now we want a match. You got
a match? Well, 90 get a match. Get
some more wood. Hurry up now! No,
no! I'll light it my own self. You

that splendid? You get whole lot OF

Potatoes" said Jimmie.
But the angel child made scornfui
gesture. "No. I've cooked bout a
million potatoes, guess. Potatoes
aren't nice any more"
Jlmmie's mind was ali said and done
when the question Of potatoes had
been passed, and he looked weakly at
his companion.
Haven't you got any turnips in
your houseT she inquired contemptu-
ously. "In my house we have turnips.'
"Oh, turnipsw exclaimed Jimmie, i'm
mensely relieved to find that the honor
of his family was safe. "Turnips! oh,
bushels an bushels an bushels! Out
In the shed!"
"Well, go an get whole lot" COM
manded the angel child. go an get
q whole lot. Grea' big ones. We al.
ways have grea' big ones"
Jimmie went to the shed and kicked
gently at company Of turnips which
the frost had amalgamated. He made
three journeys to and from the cellar,
carrying always the very largest types
from his fathers store. Four Of them
filed the oven of little Cora's stove.
This fact did not please her, so they
placed three rows Of turnlps Oh the hot
top. Then the angel child, profoundly
moved by an inspiration, suddenly
cried out:
"Oh, Jimmie. let's play we're keepin'

thousand people. an those two fur
naces will be the ovens, an I'll be the

Well play that's the pan. I'll fix 'em

Condition of Crops In Oxford County,

Condition of grass fields, 103 per cent.
Amount of young stock turned to
pasture: Colts, 107 per cent; young cat
tie, 92 per cent; sheep, 103 per cent.
The high price of horses will induce the
farmers to breed quite generally. Seven
per cent of the fruit trees winterkilled.
The largest per cent of loss in most In.
stances was with the Baldwin. Acreage
of corn, SO per cent. No material in
crease in small fruit culture is reported.
The acreage of potatoes will be increas-
ed in most parts. Farmers are generally
giving more attention to the sheep in
dustry than formerly.
FRYEBURG.
We have found dry sawdust the best
possible absorbent for use in barn and
stable. Have raised potatoes on farm
manures, that were used to top the cars
in shipping. The last load drawn was
pronounced perfectly free from any in
dications of roughness or rot. Barn and
stable manure mixed and tramped will
not ferment. Such manure stored in
barn cellars will not leach. Manure for
hoed crops is always plowed under the
green sward, then the land is again
plowed for oats, 80 manure is again
Thoroughly mixed with the soil. The
home mixing of chemicals seems much
to be desired, but there is vast amount
of education necessary before it will be
generally practiced. He who inaug-
urates system of purchasing chem icals
for cash and teaches the farmers the
benefits thereof, will be great bene-
factor. Flowing under green crops is
not a success here. The crops should
be- stored and fed to farm animals. The
following is a good rotation of crops,
for five years: Corn, oats, land seeded
TO grass and clover, three years in grass.
b. WALKER MCKEEN.
GENERAL AVERAGE FOR THE STATE.
Condition of grass fields, as compared
with last year, 81 per cent. Amount Of
young stock turned to pasture, as COM
pared with last year:-Colts, 96 per
cent; young cattle, 92 per cent; sheep, 96
per cent. In the majority of counties
the high price that horses are bringing
will stimulate the horse breeding in
dustry to some extent. About s per
cent of the fruit trees have died during
the past winter. In most sections the
greatest loss was noticeable with the
Baldwin. Acreage of corn as compared
with last year, 95 per cent. Small fruit
culture is receiving little more atten-
ton than formerly in some localities. A
slight increase in the acreage of potatoes
is reported from most parts of the state.
Farmers are not generally giving more
attention to the sheep industry than
formerly though a slight increase Is re-
ported from some sections.-Maine

"Therew she shouted at last. "Thatll
do, guess. Put 'em in the oven"
Jimmie marched with his shovelful
Of turnips to one Of the furnaces. The
door was already open, and he slid the
shovel in upon. the red Goals.
"Come on" cried little Cora. 1--WE
got another batch nearly ready"
"But what am I goin' to do with
these" asked Jimmie. 'There amt
only one shovel"
leave 'em in there" retorted the girl
passionately. leave 'em in there an
then play you're comm with another
pan. 'Tain't right to stand there an
hold the pan, you goose"
So Jimmie expelled all the turnips
from his shovel out upon the furnace
fire and returned obedently for an
other batch.
"These are puddlngs" yelled the an
gel child gleefully. Dozens an dOZ-
ems of puddings for the thousand peo-
pie at our grea' big hotel.'
At the first alarm the painter had
fed to the doctors Office, where he hid
his face behind book and pretended
that he did not hear the noise Of fem
inine reveling. When the doctor came
from round OF calls he, too, retreat
ed upon the Office, and the men con
soled each other as well as they were
able. Once Mrs. Trescott dashed In to
say delightedly that her tea party was
not only the success of the season, but
II was probably the very incest tea
party that had ever been held in
Whilomville After vainly beseeching
them to return with her she dashed
away again, her face bright with hap
piness.
The doctor and the painter remained
for long time in silence. Trescott tap
ping refectively upon the window
pane. Finally he turned to the paint
er and, shifting, said: what Is that,
Willis? Don't you smell something?'
The painter also shifted. "Why, yes!
It's like-it's like turnips."
'Turnips? No; 1t can't be-"
"Well, it's very much like It."
The puzzled doctor opened the door
into the hall, and at first it appeared
that he was going to give back two
PAGES. A result Of frizzling turnips,
which was almost as tangible as mist,
had blown in upon his face and made
him gasp. Good God! Willis, what
can this be?" he cried.
Wheel said the painter. ITS aw-
full isn't it?'
The doctor made his way hurriedly
to his wife, but before he could speak
with her he had to endure the business
Of greeting score Of women. Then
he whispered, "Out In the hall there's

But at that moment II came to them

in like sea fog and fell upon that
dainty perfumed tea party. 1t was al

ed the room the effect would have been
much the same. The sprightly talk
stopped with jolt, and people looked
at each other. Then few brave and
conslderate persons made the usual at
tempt to talk away as il nothing had
happened. They all looked at their
hostess, who wore an air Of stupefac-
tion.
The odor Of burning turnips grew
and grew. To Trescott II seemed to
make noise. He thought he could

Experiments were made at the Tenn,

Experiments were made at the Ienne-
see station in l902-3 to determine the
fertilizing value of manure from hogs
during the feeding season. It was esti-
mated that the value was from $l.2O to
1928 per animal. The higher estimates
were made for those fed highly nitro
genous foods such as skim-milk, soy
bean meal, etc., and the lower estimates
for the carbonaceous, such as corn when
fed alone. Thus both experience and
investigation show conclusively that the
excrements of swine are valuable for
increasing the land fertility.
