AN ANCIENT FORT.
Greatest Prehistoric Stronghold h
 the World.

the World.
 There is no structure left by prehis.
 toric man. on this continent, at least,
 so vast and showing such foresight
 and skill as are to be found at Fort
 Ancient. on the Miami river, in Ohio.
 The embankments making up Fort
 Ancient seem to have been made to form several distinct divisions. There is, first. the new fort. lying north of narrow isthmus, the great gateway al.
 viding the mounds at the south end of that passage, the crescent gate,, formed by the wing walls and the mid. de fort, an area inciosed by a sickle. shaped gateway. The total distance around these earthworks Is not less than 1S.712 feet, although bee line from the east to the west end meas. ures just 99S.
 Statistics. however, are both tiring and non-communicative. You ride from the village up steep hill. through the forest, to the knoll on which stands the fort. An osage hedge has been set around the place. bearing the simple words Fort Ancient" You take path leading down through a well.de- fined system of mounds, dotted over with ancient beech trees. Beyond, the meadow gives place to denser forest, and in this all attempt at tracing the plan of the mounds seems futile. They wind and turn. and writhe and twist. beyond tracing. by any save the anti. quarian. Sightseers for the most part, here. are picnickers. and for their benefit the Ohio Historical end Arch. geological society has erected frame shelter house among these. For use. not abuse" This very forest seems hedged in with primitive walls. follow. ing the line of ravines. and separating 1t from pasture lands beyond.
 One wonders the purpose of all these earthworks. None is better fitted to speak on this subject than he who ex. plored them best. Prof. Moorehead, of Saranac Lake, N. Y.
 Port Ancient" he says. Ifs consid. cred to have been erected for purely defensive purposes. and not as used for residence for any great length of time. Its connection with the Scioto valley earthworks Is to be doubted. and 1t seems to occupy a rather iso- lated position. I have always, ther.- fore. thought that the village folk of ancient Madisonville used the fort as a common rendezvous Possibly they came in from as far as Aurora, Inda. Alexandersville. Fosters. Mil. ford. southern Brown county and the mouth of the Great Miami. at all of which places there were earthworks. The fort is believed to have been erect. ed by the Shorthesd or Southern peo- pie"
 Every visitor to Fort Ancient has his theory. Some find in the outline of the fort tracing of the American continent. Others. founding their the ories on Esdrac. put this people down as the tribe expelled from Assyria Still others would have them to be maroons from King Solomon-s ships on the three-year cruises. And still others would make of them Jspanese, sent by adverse currents to this land.
 As to their fate. the scientists are not few who believe them simply the ancestors of our Indian. Whether this be SO or not. vho knovsg Only the and they keep the secrets locked tight within their leafelal bosoms-

Frog Long Imprisoned In Tree

FTo8 6oHb U"P''SouS0 uu sTVes
 While an old horse chestnut stump was being cut down at Lathbury, Eng land, a live frog was discovered be. tween the bark and the timber, about 15 inches from the ground. The bark was thick and had grown completely around it. and. writes correspond ent, there was not the slightest hole through which frog could have crept in recent years.
 The tree has shown no signs of life for at least five years past, and on the lowest computation the bark must have had two years growth. The frog must therefore have been cut of in its prison from light and food for at least seven years. It was yellow and small, but in excel. lent health, and when placed on the grass hopped of.

Wlll Power Wins All,

Everything yields before the strong and earnest will. It grows by exercise. It excites confidence in others, while it takes to itself the lead. Difficulties, before which mere cleverness fails, and which leaves the irresolute pros. trate and helpless, vanish before it. They not only do not impede its prog. ress, but it often makes of them step ping-stones to a higher and more en. during triumph.-Dr. Tulloch.

Local Option Wins in Illinois.

Galena Gazette: The local option
bill has passed both senate and as
sembly and will become law on July
first next. 1t is not all that it's spon-
sors hoped for but it is estimated that
within a year it will have closed at
least fifteen hundred saloons within
the state, which will be something to
thank the present Legislature for. 1t
provides that upon the petition of one
fourth of the registered voters Of any
township, village, town or city the
question of the sale of liquor may be
presented for the decision of the vot-
ers and if the decision is against the
sale of intoxicants the will of the ma
jority becomes operative within thirty
days and the question can not be re-
submitted within eighteen months.

DAIRY TALK OF TODAY.

Cheese Curing Experiments.

Value of Breeding.
More attention should be given to the
breeding of COWS by dairymen. A
dairyman whose herd is once made
free from tuberculosis may readily
keep it so If he grows his own supply
of COWS. The conditions for the sure
and rapid spread of the disease are
more favorable in dairy than I'm other
herds because of the large portion Of
the time that dairy COWS are confined
in stalls in winter or at least are kept
in stables even though not tied.
Cows Should Be Tested.
The dairy interest is greatly ham,
pered in certain states by importing
into them COWS that have not been
tested for tuberculosis, says the Ameri-
can CultivatOr. AS long as this is per-
mitted the dairymen who invest III such
COWS will have their own sorrows.
They are just about certain to invest
in some individuals that are affected
with the disease. Such being the case,
it Is certain to spread.
Records of Dairy Cows.
In the twenty-second annual report
of the bureau of animal industry Clar-
ence B. Lane says: The scales and the
Babcock test are essential requisites
for every true dairyman. Records are
valuable because they assist dairymen
to distinguish the good from the poor
cows, assist the feeder in preparing ra-
tons economically, give warning of the
approach of sickness and give Dspira-
ton to those who watch carefully for
Improvement Accurate and continuous
records are necessary for best results.
Examples show the impracticabllity Of
trying to determine the profitable cows
by mere guesswork. One dairymaD
found the COW he had picked out for
best to be fifth on his merit list when
actual records were taken. 1t Is de-
sirable that records of dairy animals
include not only the dairy performance,
but concise history and description of
each animal and a record at least Of
approximate accuracy of the cost Of
the feed of every COW, so that the
economy of production may be deter
mined.
