AS soon as certain arrangements
have been made by the Board of Re
gents of the State Agricultural college

Kansan to understand what the in
structors are trying to tell in the tech
nical bulletins issued regularly from
that institution. They will be trans
lated into newspaper English before
they are given to the public and as
they are really of great value the in
novation will be pleasing to farmers
and others who are interested in the
experiments made at the college.

Hn,u ArimnIs Learn.

Dr. T. Zcn. a German naturalist has collected many instances to prove that animals learn by experience and thus become wiser than their uninsTucted parents. Game animals of all kinds, he ayers. have learned the range of modern rifles. Greyhounds quickly learn to let rabbits alone, and fox hounds pay no attention to either rab- bits or harcs. Killer whales and gulls follow whqung vessels, just as yul- lures follow an army, Crows begin to accompany the chamols hunter as soon as they have seen the result of his first successful shot, and rough legged buzzards follow the sportsman after winged game. The number of birds that kin or injure themselves by flying against telegraph wires Is much smaller than 1t used to be. Dr. Zeu also refers to the fact that birds and quadrupeds have learned to disregard passing railway trains, as horses quickly cease to be frightened by automobiles. Ills instances of the intelligent election exercised by sheep dogs are familiar to all.
