CHUCKING WOOD CHUCKS.

"Would wood-chuck chuck a
wood-chuck" under justifiable cir
cumstances, is a question now defi-
nitely settled, because John Giles
pie was an eyewitness to a lonely,
though determined bout between
two of these Highland ground-dwell-
ers. 1t was on recent afternoon
as he climbed the Monterey moun-
tain from the Crabbottom SIDE
The arena was the Staunton and
Parkersburg pike, or as much
thereof as was needed for the ring
John was the sole occupant OF the
amphitheater-so far as VISION
goes-and his presence in a nearby
turn of the road did not disturb the
angry combatants, so he drew rein
and stood there, self-constituted
referee.
He says it took moment or two
to identify them as genuine, ordl-
nary ground-hogs, as they stood
erect and faced each other like two
angry street urchins. AS weapons,
they used only their tiny paws,
boxing and slapping right and left,
one making a pass, the other dodg-
ling and swinging an undercut,
while, at the close of each round,
they faced each other again, and
while waiting for the time-call,
would indulge in angry snarls,
snaps and gibberish, which he thinks
was GUESSING in their dialect, then
they would begin to '1and' some
more, punmeling each other with
a vim and vlgOr that would nave
done credit to John L. in his palm
lest days. He could not determine
as to what particular "rules" gov
erned, but it was contest without
gloves, there was no clinching, nc
fouls and not lick below the belt
lOf course, there was no way by
which to, determine what had lee
to the bout. There were no gate re
ceipts, and as no shareholders were
in sight, John is rather disposed u
believe that it was duel--a pre-
arranged meeting between two ri
walls to determine which should have
first place in the affections OF som'
coy young lady-whistleplg, wh'
perchance was awaiting the issue IL
a nearby burrow. OF course, thl
last is only a surmlse.

SOWING ALFALFA

1t has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that late summer is the best time for SOW
ing alfalfa, and the following suggestions
regarding its culture are given for the
benefit of those who intend to sow this
season. Attention to few important de-
tails will secure good stand of alfalfa on
the average Delaware soil.
If possible, select piece of ground
which has been in titled crop this year.
Land which has been in early potatoes
Is admirably suited for this purpose, and
the more fertile the soil the better. 1t
titled ground is not available, plow and
thoroughly prepare the ground for seed
ing a month before time to SOW. Harrow
after each rain. This frees the land OF
weeds and serves to retain moisture.
Cowpeas also serve as an excellent pre-
paratory crop for alfalfa seeding.
About two weeks before seeding apply
ground limestone at the rate of about one
ton per acre, and work it thoroughly
into the soil. Just previous to sowing
apply 500 pounds per acre Of the following
mixture 400 pounds of acid phosphate
and 100 pounds muriate of potash. II
we'll rotted stable manure is available, it
should be plowed under and one-half OF
the above fertilizer mixture used. I'M
mediately before sowing inoculate the
field by scattering broadcast 200 pounds
of soil taken from well established
alfalfa field.
Sow the seed at once, at the rate OF 2O
pounds per acre, and harrow it in lightly.
The ground should contain plenty OF
moisture near the surface at time OF seed
ing, or an uneven stand will be secured.
The seed may be sown any time from the
18th of August to the 1st of September.
Note.-The Delaware Experiment Sta
ton will cheerfuIly answer any inquiries
regarding the details of the directions
given above, and will cooperate by CIV
ing suggestions to anyone who wishes
to try the crop in an experimental way.

COSTLY HONEY

In the African forests the natives find
quantities of honey in followed trees
The honey is generally at the summit OF
the tree, and the men knock down the
tree, and smoke the bees out OF their
lodging with burning grass. The honey
is then quickly collected and taken to
camp. Mr.. A. Henry Savage Landor, in
Across Widest Africa" gives a story
which proves that the honey is not
always blessing to those who secure it.
His caravan had halted in the shade OF
some fine trees, and the men had secured
quantity of honey.
We were all gayly enjoying it. with
plateful before me, and all my men
squatting around me, biting off huge
chunks from the r leycombs. Suddenly
an alarm was raised. The men jumped
to their feet and threw the combs away.
A significant buzz was fast approaching,
and behold, an army of bees had de-
scended quickly upon US and surrounded
my camp. stinging the naked men all
over. They held their hands upon their
faces and stampeded in all directions,
each one with large contingent of bees
after him.
My poor Somali, who, being strict
Mussulman, never would touch anything
that had been fingered by unbelieVers,
was the only one in camp who had not
partaken of the honey. As, however, he
had perfect horror of bees, he was the
first one to dash away when he first
heard them. The result was that he who
had not touched the honey at all had the
greatest number of bees after him. At
one time the whole army seemed to have
concentrated round him. Piercing were
his yelIs and high the leaps he made in
| the air.
Curiously enough, I, who had still the
plate of honey upon my knees, and re-
mained motionless like statue, did not
receive single sting, although myriads
of bees kept buzzing round me in a most
alarming manner.

THE REAPING MACHINE

1t seems that there are two claimants
to the honor of inventing the reaping
machine-the Rev. Patrick Bell, of Car
mylie, and Gideon Scott, millwright, of
Hawick. In 1866 the Haddington Agri-
cultural Society assigned the honor to
Bell, but within day or two letter ap-
peared in the Scotsman" contesting the
clerical claim, and asserting that the
honor belonged to the millwright, "who,
upwards of twenty years previous to the
time claimed as the date of Mr.. Bells in
yention, had put in operation reaping
machine of his own construction. Scott
was altogether an interesting parsonage,
and seems to have had hand in mould
ing the career of Professor John Pringle
Nichol, the astronomer, when young
man, who in turn placed Lord Kelvin
under deep debt of gratitude by instruct-
ing him in natural philosophy.

DENATURED SALT

'Our readers know all about denatured
ALCOHOL says The American Sugar In
dustry and Beef Sugar Gazette, sand have
seen some mention in our columns of the
use of denatured sugar in France and
other countries of Europe. It now ap-
pears that salt is another product OF
France that is denatured for the sake of
escaping taxation. the denaturing mater
ial used being in this case sugar. BY a
decree of President Fallieres of March q,
salt intended for the feeding of cattle may
be denatured by the addition Of 2 kilos
(43 pounds) Of crystalized sugar per 100
of salt, and 50 escape the usual taxes on
salt for table or dairy purposes. Instead
OF sugar, number Of other substances
may be substituted, but preference is
given to the sweet product, evidently as
means Of encouraging . 'down-trodden

PLANTING FIFTY THOUSAND TREES

Following the policy Of reforestlng the
State. which prompted the enactment OF
a law by the last Vermont Legislature,
for the yearly distribution OF
seedlings and transplants, the State fores-
try department has begun its annual work
and almost O,O0O young trees are ready
to be placed in the ground. This is con-
siderably more than we're distributed last
wear and the entire amount which Will
be planted this spring is the product OF
Vermont nurseries. Last year, the first
year of distribution, the State forestry was
Obliged to draw upon the reserve stock OF
the New York nursery for large portion
of the trees distributed, but besides re-
turning these, $4,000 young trees were
found to be matured sufficiently for plant
ing this season. The seedlings planted
consist largely of white pine, while Scotch
pine and red pine are also much used.
Practically the entire supply is composed
OF coniferous trees.

HINTS FOR PRESERVING

The first consideration is a preserving
kettle of brass polished until lustrous and
with no stain of fruit.
This is the sort of vessel used by the
old-fashioned housewife and the iellies
of our grandmothers have never been
equaled.
Porcelain kettles should be discarded
as soon as they commence to crack and
tin, iron or pewter should never be used.
The best jelly bag is long one made
of flannel, which is made in point at
the bottom.
This should never be squeezed in order
to hasten the dropping or discoloration
of the fruit will result.
In selecting fruit the greatest care
should be taken to see that it is not over
ripe.
Berries that have been picked more
than twenty-four hours are too old to
make good iellies and preserves.
A cheesecloth bag will be found useful
in straining the fruit through the colan-
der.
To keep jelly and jam from moulding
on top the fruit should be covered with
paper dipped in brandy.
Jelly glasses without fitted tin or glass
tops can be covered by pieces of writing
paper.
These pieces should be dipped in the
unbeaten white of an egg and pasted at
once over the glass.
Plenty of sugar makes rich and luscious
preserves and makes the fruit keep much
longer.
To prevent jars from cracking when
the hot preserves are poured in them,
set on cloths dipped in cold water and
partly wrung out.

AN ELECTRIC RAT KILLER

An electric rat-killer is the latest means
designed for slaughtering rodents. Re-
Gently it was tried in Trieste, France, and
it is claimed produced good results.
1.-THE ''killer" is made SO that it can be
lowered into drains and other infested
places. 1t consists of shallow tray, with
the bottom lined with closely spaced
metal points alternately connected to the
positive and negative terminals OF high
tension electric circuit. The animals are
promptly electrocuted as they step on the
points in attempting to reach the bait.
The apparatus destroys only rats and sim
liar vermin, and it is affirmed there is nc
risk to cats and other domestic animals.
