Queer Animal Scarce Many.


A strange animal that has cry
like a human in distress is terrify-
ing the inhabitants of The Knobs"
the widest district in Clark county,
Ohio lying few miles southwest
of tatavba.
So far no one has been able to
catch sight of it, though reliable,
sober farmers declare that there Is
some animal living in the brush and
woods OF the hills that never made
that vicinity it's home before last
mopth.
One night while returning to their
home through 1.-The Knobs" Mr.. and
Mrs. Lester Loveless heard the plain
tive cries OF what they thought a
human being, apparently the voice
of woman. Mr.. Loveless invesu-
gated, after going to his home near.
by and getting his gun.
He could plainly hear the wierd
cries of the creature until within
few rods of It, closer than which II
would not allow him to approach.
He pursued It until it broke and
ran through the brush, breaking II
down so its progress could be plain
ly traced by the noise. Mr. Love
less's wife became frightened and
called to him from the house, so he
ceased his pursuit
Several times since Mr.. Doveless
and other farmers have heard the
cries OF the animal in the night, but
so far Il has not ventured near
enough for them to get an idea OF
it's form.
Some think II must be panther
that has escaped from some circus,
while others think It may be a large
dog, grown wild in the hills which
has learned to howl like a human,
but most Of the people think It must
be a human who has lost his reason
and is now wandering In the wild
country, becoming startled at the
sound of other human voices.
Mr.. Loveless owns farm near
The Knobs" and has lived there
for years, and never before has he
heard any strange sounds coming
from the thicket.
The place known as THE Knobs
is the widest in the country. II it
too hilly and the ground is of toe

acres of 1t have lain for years un'

(From the American Ciltivator.)
The surest way to interest children
in farming is to let them make LITTLE
real money out Of It; money that they
can call their own and spend in any
reasonable way. You remember how
It was yourself You couldn't see any
fun In farming until you began to find
little profit in the business. You
became enthusiastic after a good sea-
son which gave you chance to save
money. The boys first paying garden
and the girls nice flock of profitable
chickens will anchor their owners IL
anything will do It. A little good sd-
vice will soon start the extremely i'm
portant habit Of saving money, Can
he clear $50 a year? Sometimes, F1f-
ty dollars placed in a savings bank
every yesr will amount in 20 years at
4 per cent to the very respectable sum
OF $154S46, enough for good start
in business. But the moral and busi-
ness training that goes with 1t should
be worth more than the money. A
successful boy is pretty sure 10 be-
come a successful man. The farm boy
who saves money every year is not
likely to grow into the kind Of men
who fill the poorhouses or live on
their creditors or drift about the
country telling hard luck stories
They will be too busy being good. sub
stantial citizens and a credit TO the
parents who gave them right start

Fse,s About blood.

Recent laboratory research on the
blood and on the properties through
which II defends the body against the
invasion of bacterial diseases has
opened rp a field rich In present in
formation and richer still In its prom
ise for the future. This work became
possible through the discovery OF the
microscope, by means Of which the
apparently fluid blood was found to be
filled with floating fat, circular discs
of pale yellow color. So minute are
these discs that It takes 1900 of them
placed In straight line to cover the
span Of an inch.
In single drop Of blood there are
many millions of these cells or car
puscles. It is a fascinating thing to
study the circulation Of the blood
through the capillary vessels by means
of the microscope. The capillary cir
culation through the web OF frogs
foot affords the best and easiest ex-
ample, as the web can be stretched
so thin that light is easily transmit
ted through It. The capillary vessels
themselves are so minute In size as to
be invisible to the naked eye. Under
a microscope of moderate power they
not only become visible, but we can
now distinguish passing through them
a. a.constant procession of blood cells or
corpuscles. Most of these cells are Of
the circular disc variety already men,
toned. These are the so-called "red
cells' or corpuscles OF the blood.
Occasionally cell Of another var
iety will be seen. 1t is lighter in color
than the red cell, granular in structure
and in 1t is seen a central dense por-
ton, known as the nucleus. 1t is OBJ
served that these cells keep close to
the vessel wall, that they move more
slowly than the current Of red cells,
and that they have certain power Of
Independent movement, as we'll as the
power to change in shape. Now and
then we see one Of these cells stop al
together and adhere to the side of the
blood vessel. AS we watch we see
that the cell is changing in shape. The
narrow, protruding portion pushes its
way through the capillary wall, and In
short time the entire cell has how-
ed into the tissues outside.

RaIslnn horseradl.h.

The horseradish crop has returned
large profits for the few people who
have made specially OF 1t in a limited
way 1t is not a very hard crop TO
grow; the difficulty is 10 fnd a market
for any large quantity. Many OF the
people who grow 1t are also manu-
facturers who CRATE the roots and be-
come their own travelling salemen, Sc
curing orders for the grated and pre-
pared product put up in tubs or bot
ties. There is a constant demand for
the roots in the market, but only for
a very limited quantity, and any great
increase in the supply would bring the
prices too low for profit. Paintings
are started by setting pieces of root,
taking the side shoots from near the
top of the crown. They are set about
II inches apart in rows the same as
beets or cabbages. Sometimes they
are planted along with beets which
are gathered by the time the horse
radish needs all the space. The crop
should be grown on rich garden soil
in order TO make large, smooth roots
without prongs. The crop is very pro-
ductive. yielding at the rate of $500
worth an acre at usual wholesale
prices. Nobody seems to have been
able to find large enough market to
warrant large paintings. The slips for
setting are sold at about 81 thousand.
They are all gathered when the roots
are dug in October, and buried in the
sand over winter, being ready to set
about the middle of April.
