The Queer Bull Snake.

A farmer by the name of Wilson,
residing on Piney, four miles west OF
Dickson, came to town to-day bringing
with him the stuffed hide of bull
snake which he killed in his neighbor-
hood recently, and which measures
six feet in length.
This is a species of snake rarely
found in this section, but a rather
remarkable feature is that when one
is found it is always large one. The
serpent takes it's name from the bel
lowing sound it emits when angry,
which is very much like that of bull
when believing.
There are numerous superstitions con-
nected with it, one of which is that
it lies in wait in wood sand pastures
for milk COWS, and when one of the
latter approaches it springs upon her,
securely entwines itself about her
legs so that she cannot move, and in
this fashion proceeds TO suck her dry.
1t is further said that COW thus at
tackled will ever afterward give a
bloody milk.

RuckWheat

Buckwheat is a profitable crop and
thrives on sandy SOIL 1t is what may
be termed summer grain crop, as
the seed may be broadcasted in June
and the crop harvested before frost.
It is grown as a green manurial crop,
or for the grain. 1t provides an
abundant forage for bees when in
blossom, though some do not claim
the honey therefrom to be of the
highest quality. Being of rapid growth,
buckWheat crowds the weeds and pre-
vents them from growing, and as it
shades the soil it is regarded as one of
the best crops that can be grown for
that purpose.

chicano,s Careless Visitors.

One day an observant Chicagoan
made the discovery that street sweep
ers keep closer eye on their work
in midsummer than at any other time
of the year. He asked why.
Because we are more likely to find
things in the summer time" said the
sweeper.
There isn't much doing in the way
of losing and finding when the crowd
is made up mostly of town folk, but
these country people have the habit of
owing the streets with small change,
and the sweeper who knows how to
look sharp between whisks of the
broom can pick up many an extra quar-
ter or dime"
