BIRDS DESTROYED BY SNAKES.
Havoc Wrought Scarcely Realized
Even by the Birds Friends.

Even by the Birds Friends.
Some one asks, What becomes OF
the birds? One answers lawless
hunters, another cats, and women's
hats speak loudest of all. It Is strange
that more of the blame is not laid to
snakes. The supipeness throughout
the country even with regard to ven.
omous snakes Is incomprehensible
Last Summers drought revealed mgr

surprisingly, large that came from
their lairs to drink from ponds and
streams. They came in such num-

sportsmen would practice their sharp
shooting upon these loathsome and
dangerous creatures it would add to
the safety Of people and animals. Far
more harm is done by them than
townspeople reafize. A good rattle

All kinds of snakes feed largely up

A large black snake frequently makes
havoc in a chicken house and attacks

One day in New Jersey a party OF
us bound for the woods were attract
ed by the strange actions of a wood
robin. In a moment we saw that 1t
was being charmed by a blacksnake
that slowly moved to and fro, its
dreadful little eyes fixed upon the
bird. The snake escaped our sticks
and ran under a stone wall. 1t was
full a minute before the dazed bird

The next day one of our party
crossing the same wall noticed a
strange commotion among birds of
various kinds gathered in tree. They
seemed to be cheering on a valiant
cock-robin that was actually giving
battle to a snake, presumably the Of

scene. wondering and fascinated, till
he saw that the little champion was

piece of fence rail he dispatched the

One Of the best authorities on sheep

Poultry Notes.

CHICKS well Matched are half raised
Breeders not in good health will no
give eggs that will hatch vigorou,
chicks.
Feeding young chicks is important
but Of less Importance than the car,
they have
In preparing for young birds, the
breeding stock Is the first thing to BIZ
considered.
The early birds are the hens thai
find a market willing to take them
at a good price.
Cleanliness is a necessary part oil
raising chickens, especially when q
large number are together.
Many prefer two-year-old hens for
breeders. At least have yearling hens
well developed if they are the breed
ers.
An incubator will get broody earlier
in the season than hen, and will stay
by the eggs If 1t has a good care-taker
to assist.
Those who feed bread crumbs tc
young chicks will do well to moisten
the bread with skim milk instead of
with water.
II breeders are used, keep a watch
full eye on the chicks till they learn to
run back to the heat and warm UP.
One bad chilling may ruin a chicks
usefulness.
The prepared chick feed found at
poultry supply houses may cost more
than other feed, but generally nets
more profit, as nose chicks live and
have more vigor.
Do not feed young birds till they are
at least one or two days old. They
absorb the yolk shortly before leaving
the shell, and that gives all the nour-
ishment their systems can use for some
time.
For Matching, select only such eggs
as are Of normal size and of normal
shape. Very large or very small eggs
or those Of freakish shape or with
freakish shells should always be re-
jected
All breeds and varieties of fowls
have some fowls that have much less
or much more vigor than the average
for its class. and may De expected to
have offspring Of like nature. Select
breeders with care.
The downy feathers of chickens do
not shed water like the feathers of
old fowls. and chickens cannot stand
so much dampness as old fowls. The
poultryman's head will have to do the
thinking for the little fellows, and
keep them where 1t is dry.-Progressivs

Ace of BREEDING.

IL cows are going out of commission
at the expiration of seven years they
are not dying, but going out of the
dairy in the prime of life, and there's
something out of joint. Year after year
we meet and discuss the COW and her
product. Why do we do it? Because
we have not learned all we need to.
She is truly a mysterious being. Some
have thought that they knew it all, but
those that study know better, for she
is like the boys and girls of rich par
ents, she Is handsome to look at but
expensive to support. Boys and girls
and heifers are bred for a purpose,
but sometimes spoiled in the bringing
up. A heifer may be bred right and
prove disappointment.
People disagree as to the age heifer
should be bred. l am going to put a
chip on my shoulder and say that /
don't think any COW owner capable of
indicating when his COW shall become
mother. 1t is just according to her
ancestry, care and feed. When she is
ready she should be bred. Dictate and
you will soon have a barren heifer;
this is backed by my experience.
Bred as dairy cattle are and have
been, they are unbalanced and abnor-
NAL animals. Bred as they are, to
give rich product, we must breed at
younger age or we will have barren
stock. Bred and fed for milk we have
weakened the organs so closely relat-
ed. While 1t is true, under a restrict
ed feed, that breeding young dwarfs
the heifer, fed generously. have new
er found it true tina an animal was
seriously injured or dwarfed.-Dr. c.

The following article, taken from
the columns of the Grand Rapids
Herald Review, is just as applicab BILE
to the residents and merchants and
the attitude which the people of the
city should assume to home business
folks as it is too Grand Rapids.
The sentiment expressed in the
article is a worthy one, being sort
of reciprocal.
I'VE wish our readers to note the
advertisements of our local mer-
chants in these columns and then
to examine the choice holiday goods
they display in endless variety, and
at prices that appeal to the re-
sources of any purse. The goods
are here and they we're brought here
for you to examine and buy.
DO not send your money to some
distant city for your holiday goods,
but keep it at home where it will in
time get back to you. We all know
that the country is being flooded
with calalogs and advertisements of
business concerns that apparently
offer great inducements for cash
from the consumers. All they ask
is for you to send them the cash and
they will sell the goods. out of sight
and unseen, at apparently low prices.
But there is really no reason why
any one, as rule, should deal with

A Battle Royal.

something unusual had been going on
wherever the dog had been.
Instead of going home, he followed
the dog over the trail the animal had
made in coming to him after being
called by the whistle. The dog led
him to a big tree at which there was
lying young mountain lion with
which the dog had evidently had
tussle. The lion had every appearance
of being dead and showed the marks
OF the dogs teeth upon his neck Sed-
LAX supposed the lion was dead and
was making arrangements to carry
him home when the animal gave
signs of restoration of life, and re-
covered so rapidly that he had to act
very quickly in order to get a rope
wound around him.
He at once conceived the idea of
capturing the lion alive. and with this
object succeeded in getting it to his
cabin, at which place he made the lion
fast in the stable.
For four days the lion refused to
eat anything and evidently rebeLed at
its captivity. However, on the fifth he
ate everything which was given to
him, and has apparently recovered
from the fight with the dog.
From the indications around the
tree Mr.. Sedlak thinks the dog had
been fighting with the lion which he
captured alive and also that there was
another lion in the tree during that
time. and that as soon as the dog left
to answer the call of the whistle the
lion which was up the tree came down
