RaYaReN of the Tick.

DR.. j. III. Wilson. chairman OF the
State Live Stock Sanitary Commission,
places the loss in the South as the re-
suit of the ravages of the fever tick at
$24.0OO.COO annually. This is considered
very conservative estimate. as the
loss has been placed at 100000 by
other authorities.
These losses are not the result of the
fever for quarantined cattle do not
have ii. The loss Is caused by the raw
ages of the tick. which sucks the blood
of the animal and keeps it in an ema-
ciated condition, thereby preventing its
full maturity.
AS evidence that the tick Is capable

ures showing that during 1904 and 1905
the death rate among cattle In the tick
infested area was S.33 per cent, as conr
pared with 312 per cent above the na-
tional quarantine line. Notwithstanding
the fact that the cattle above the line
encounter severe winters.

Farming Old and New.

When the late Robert G. Ingersoll
was a farmer boy in Wisconsin the
farm was not the place it is now. He
has left a description of early rural
life as he recalled it:
"They used to haul wheat twenty
miles in wagons and sell ii for 80 cents
a bushel. They would bring home
about 300 feet Of lumber, two punches
of shingles, barrel of salt and a cook
stove that never would draw and never
did bake. In those blessed days the
people liven on corn and bacon. They
had poor houses. The rain held the
roofs in perfect contempt, and the snow
drifted joyfully on the floors and beds.
They had no barns. The horses were
kept in rail pens surrounded with
straw Long before spring the sides
would be eaten away and nothing
would be left but the roof Every,
thing was done in the hardest way
Everything about the farm was disa
greable. Nearly every farmers boy
took an oath that he would never cub

rived at the age of 81 they left the des-
olate and dreary farms and rushed to
the towns and cities"
Those were the days before farming
was science. Now the bright youth
intended for agriculture takes at least
the short course at the university. He
learns things about soils and crops and
the selection and care of stock that the
old-ti farmers never dreamed of. He

architecture. 1t has n telephone and
Il may be heated with hot water. There
is a rural delivery mail box not far
from the front door, and good roads ia
cilitate the easy transportation of the
product of the farm TO a not distant
railway station.

Crab Has 100000 Joints.

The crab known as the scale-tailed
apus was believed to have become ex-
tinct in Great Britain 30 years ago, the
last recorded specimens being taken in
the ponds on Hampstead Heath. But
now it has turned UP again in some
numbers in two ponds on Preston
Merse, near Southwick, in Kirkcud-
brightshire. About two and a half
inches long. the apus bears a very
striking likeness to that remarkable
creature, the king crab, and this be-
cause the fore part of the body is COW
cred by a great semi-circular shield, or
carapace, while, as in the king crab,
it swims on its back. In the great num-
Der of its legs the scale-tailed apus has
few rivals, while in the number Of
joints which these share between
them no other creatures can COM
pare. The naturalist, Schaffer, once
essayed the task of counting them

THE RATHER.
1t Rarely Sounds It's Note of Warm

1t Rarely Sounds It's Note of Warm
ing Until Attacked.
Contrary to the general belief, the
RATHER rarely gives its characteristic
note of warning until actually attack
ed. In fact, the sharp, vibrant ring of
its terminal appendage is probably de-
signed more to assist this very slug
gish serpent TO obtain food than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place, serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be-
ing compensated for by an extreme
sensitiveness Of feeling which makes
them aware of the approach of moving
objects by the vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid
alarming game, will often step close to
or over a rattler without disturbing it
or receiving warning, and while many
snakes are seen and killed by them ii
is probable that a far greater number
of snakes are timid and would rather
run than fight, and the rattler is not
inviting certain destruction by adver-
