Feeding VIII Animals.

Raising alfalfa to furnish winter feed
for wild animals Is proving a great sue
cess In the Yellowstone National Park.
One hundred tons of fine hay have been
harvested in the government field near
the Gardiner arch and stacked near the
soldiers quarters. Three years ago a
deer was seldom seen in the vicinity of
Mammoth Hot Springs and as an ex-
pertinent few bales of alfalfa hay
were scattered near the parade ground.
The next day dozen blacktau deer
made their appearance, the number
steadily increasing and now comprises
over 100 The animals quickly lost all
fear of human beings and are not even
startled by the firing of the evening
gun within 100 yards of them, but show
much more interest in the lowering of
the flag from the staff In the middle
Of their feeding ground.

Estimating MILK Yield

In reckoning the milk yield of COW
a common mistake is to figure on the
basis Of her yield during the first two
or three months. Professor Gray. of
the Canadian Experimental Farm at
Ottawa, gives records OF cows showing
that the yield at first Is very deceptive.
One COW noted as great mixer start

A Floating Snail.

There is a small snail which is 80
fond of the sea that it never comes TO
land and it builds such capital boat
for itself and its eggs that while large
ships are sinking and steamers are I'M
able to face the storm it losses about
in perfect safety.
The little snail is of violet color
and is therefore called ianthina. Ii
has a small shell, and there projects
from the upper part OF the body a long,
tongue-like piece OF flesh. This Is the
raft, and 1t is built upon most scientidc
principles, for 1t has compartments In
IL for air. 1t is broad and the afr CON.

LITTLE REAL MAPLE SIRUP.
Seven iKhths of Stun Sold as such

Seven Khths of Stun Sold as Such
Is Said to DO AduIternted.
Everybody knows where the Tount
mans fancy is said to turn In the
spring But when 1t comes to snappJ
morning in autumn 1t is hot cakes and
maple strip that makes his eyes shine,
says the New York Sun.
| This being the case, one Is likely to
| think long, sad thoughts after perusing
| the latest statistics on the subject OF
maple sugar. What the pure-food law
will do to the maple-sugar myths it is
hard to tell, but the investigation has
already wiped maple sugar off the food
map.
We have the Indians to thank for
the art Of making the real maple arti-
Gle. They used to do it In their own
happy fashion, boiling down the sap by
dropping relays of hot stones into it.
The early settlers improved on this,
but their own methods remained pretty
crude.
About 1850 the maple-sugar business
began to boom. Methods were i'm
proved. That made the product better,
that sent up the demand, and by 1860,
sap, demand, quality and price were all
climbing.
The demand has been mounting even
since, but, strangely enough, in the face
of this perpetual cry for maple strip,
there isn't much more than half as
much made now as there was in 1850.
The explanation is to be had in two
words; the mixers.
Since 1850 the cost of producing cane
sugar has gone down to a level COM
pared with which the cost of making
maple sugar seems toplofty. During
the same period glucose has made its
bow and got into all kinds of sweet
society.
The wholesale dealer takes the COM
from sixth to a tenth as much real
maple sugar and-we eat 1t on our
cakes and waffles. According to the
lowest estimate, seven-eighths of the
product sold to-day is only partly ma
pie sugar or is made entirely of other
materials.
maple flavor is said to be given t.
some of these imitation sirups by mix
ng with them an extract of hickory
park. An Indiana man even took out a
patent on the use of such an extract.
The only way in which one can be
sure of getting the pure pro-
luct is to deal directly with trust
worthy country producer. There are
ome of that kind. They can't afford

plenty Of manure was mixed with the
soil. On sandy loans the manure

mercial fertilizer proved most efficient,
