Following is circular from the For

riculture
In its investigations for the improve
ment of grazing lands within the ma
tional forests carried on during the
past scar. the Forest Service has found
that the ranges ON some of the forests
cannot be fully utilized by stock be-
cause of lack OF a proper water sup
ply. Plans have been made for bet
tering these conditions as rapidly as
possible.

the national forest ranges VIII be start
ed this year on the Leadville National
Forest in Colorado and the Tumaea-
corr National Forest in Arizona, and
before the coming Of another grazing
season a number of ranges viii be i'm

On the Leadvllle forest, the forest Of
fcers will clean out and protect twelve
different springs and pipe the water
into trougllS. The work on the Tuna
cacori forest in Arizona will be some
what more extensive. although ii will

FEIGNING DEATH.
Trick Resorted to by Beasts to shun
Their Enemies.

Trick Resorted to by Beasts to Shun
Their Enemies.
The feigning of death by certain
animals for the purpose of deceiving
their enemies, and thus securing Inn
munity, is one Of the greatest of the
many evidences of their intelligent
ratiocinatiOn. This stimulation Is not
confined to any particular family, order
or species of animal, but exists in
many, from the very lowest to the
highest 1t is found even in the vege-
table kingdom, the well-known sensi-
tive plant being an interesting exam
pie. The action of this plant is pure
walton and experiment, and is not,
therefore, a process of intelligence.
An experimenter, writing in Wissen
fur ALE, says that he has seen the
feigning of death in some Of the low
est animals known to science. Some
time ago, while examining the inhstbit-
ants of a drop of pond water under a
high-power lens, he noticed several
rhizopods busily feeding on the minute
buds of an alga. These rhizopods sud
denly drew in their hairlike faria and
$ INK to the bottom to all appearances
Cead The cause was found to be the
I -esence of a WAREHOUSE, an animal
which feeds on these animalcuiR. 1t
likewise sank to the bottom, and, after
looking at the rhizopods, swan away,
evidently regarding them as dead and
unfit for food.
This was not an accidental occur
renee, for the observer has seen the
same wonderful performance twice
since. Through the agency of what
sense, he asks. did these little creatures
discover the approach of their enemy?
Is it possible that they and other mi
croscopic animals have eyes and ears
so exceedingly small that lenses of the
very highest power cannot make them
visible. or are they possessors of senses
utterly unknown to and incapable of
being appreciated by man? Science can
neither affirm nor deny either of these
suppositions.
MOSl dHllndIS are Sldlu LOT lOOd Dy
other animals. Most Of the carnivora
ane insectivora prefer freshly killed
food to carrion. They will not touch
taiuted meat when they can procure
fresh. Hence, when they come upon
their prey apparently dead they will
leave it alone and go in search of other
quarry, unless they are very hungry.
Tainted substances are dangerous to
get into the stomach. Certain pto-
maines render it sometimes very poi
sonous. Long years of experience have
taught this fact to animals and, there
fore. most of them let dead or seem
ingly dead creatures alone.

Barrel. Too Dear to Burn

The Thanksgiving barrel burning is
doomed. The day is not so far distant
when barrels will not be obtairable.
Those who harvest the crops in the fall
realize more than others how difficult
1t Is TO get barrels for the purpose. A
barrel hunter in a neighboring State
said the other day. 1t is shame for
people to break up and burn their bar
rels when they are so scarce. He said
he has chased all day for only few
barrels as result According TO this
man the making of barrels Is an indus
try which Is not followed by many. and
coopers in the cheap barrel line are be-
coming scareer each year, and people
wanting barrels for their winter apples
have to depend upon hurlap sacks or
| pay double what the other receptacles
are worth. In the near future barrels,
that is. stave barrels, are going TO be-
come too scarce and too dear to burn.
The scarcity OF barrels promises to end
the barrel gangs. Nothing else is like
ly to do lt.-Norwich Conn Bulletia.

Curing Bacon


In a paper read before the Farmers
Congress at Hillsboro, Ore. William
Schulmerich described his method Of
curing bacon He said: First, have
the meat thoroughly cooled all through.
Split the hog through the center OF the
backbone. The half is laid on the Ia
bic and the leaf lard taken out. No
ak or cleaver should be used after
splitting the hog in halves. Have a
butchers steel TO keep the knives sharp
and a good. sharp meat saw to cut the
bones. Cut off the ham by saving
through the backbone 3 inches from
the end of the pelvic bone. Then take
the knife and cut straight across the
side
Cut the flank off the ham; round
off the tip. or backbone. of the ham
saw off the leg close above the back
Next cut out the ribs and backbone
then cut of the side as close to the
shoulder blade as possible. Cut off a
strip of fat on top and bottom of side
Round off the top Of shoulder close to
the shoulder blade. Cut off strips Of
clean meat on inside Of shoulder. Take

Mr.. Sehulmerich said his method Of
curing meats In sides is to pile up n

boards in dry salt for one week, then

COAL MINE EXPLOSION.
New Theory Advanced as to the
Conditions Producing Them.

Conditions Producing Them.
Experts who have made investiga-
lions of the recent mine disasters, not
ably those of Monongah and Jacobs
Greek, have come to the conclusion
that the explosions are caused by eli
matte conditions
Supporting the position taken. it is
a noticeable fact, they say, that the
recent catastrophes have occurred at
about the same hour in the day, in a
zone of certain altitude in about the
same longitude and in places where
climatic conditions are similar. The
majority of the mines operated to-
day are below the level of the streams
in the same sections, and. owing to the
moisture. the outside air forced into
the mines by the fans has been laden
with carbon dioxide moisture and 9th
er impurities.
1t is suggested that if the air forced
into the mines was gathered from a
higher stratum and was heated suffi-
GENTLY and otherwise treated to re-
move the impurities the accidents
would be less numerous during the
change of seasons. Proper ventila-
tion with this purified air. it is be
lieved will remove to a great extent
the coal dust and explosive gases
which are found to a certain extent
in every mine,

A ETSHERMAID's SONG.

The poplars tall kissed the cold, gray sky
And in front was the hungry sea,
And the river swept dark and drearily by
While the wind sighed mournfully;
Away In the west the low sun died,
The amethyst banks between;
And amid the reeds the plover cried
As l gazed on that well-known scene.
And the ishermen's bonts were far away
On the oceans heav,ng breast
And the red lights cleaned wide over the
bay
From the high hills windy crest;
And saw again my lovers boat,
With her white stills all outspread,
Like joyous bird Ger the waters float
When the evening skies were red.
Ton morrow the sun In the east will rise
And the fishing fleets come home,
To Slsdden the weary, waiting eyes,
Wet with more than the salt sea foam.
But, ali me for the boat that left the
shore
TtN eve when the skies were red.
For the fisher lad shall see,no more
Till the sea gives up its dead.
