When raising pigeons, and especially
squads for market, do not take any
stock in the statement that each pair
will raise twenty-four squads during
the year. A pair of squad producers
that will produce an average of six
pairs a year have done mighty well.
Fancy pigeons that grow the exhibition
stock usually round up with about
three ar four pairs a season. When a
pair of pigeons nave grown twelve
squads in year they have produced
six times their own weight, which IS
a pretty good active business for such
small birds
Do not imagine that you can start In
the squad business or pigeon business
simply through the purchase of the
birds: you must learn how to care for
feed and breed them. No one ever
knows too much about it; and as long
as there are so many hundreds OF fine
young squads dying in the nest from

The Leonard and tho Pan

One day worthy Kuu housewife
came out from her cooking and, stand
ing on the ledge of rock at her door,
emptied a pan of boiling water into the
rank heritage growing below. 1t fell,
splash, on the back of a sleeping Loop
ard, who jumped perpendicularly into
the air as high as the roof Of the hut.
What might have happened nexTo
Who can say? But the astonished
woman dropped the pan with clang
upon the rock, and the leopard took
one leap downhill. The pan followed,
and the leopard's downward leaps be-
came longer and swifter as the pan
bounded after it from rock to rock.
When last seen the leopard had just
achieved leap of about $50 feet to
the very bottom of the ravine, thou
sands of feet below, and the pan had
whirled about 500 feet over it on the
opposite side. The leopard would have
eaten the old woman with pleasure,
but pan which first scalded half the
hide off him and then bounded changing
in his wake from the top of the Hima
Iayas to the plains pelow was some
thing which he could not face.-Lon-

A Mexican Tradition

Boys, what's the matter? Fever
Die then; die, then That's the song
the doves sing down in Old Mexico
when native has pneumonia, and
almost invariably he lies down, refuses
TO swallow the medicine prescribed by
the physician, resigns himself to his
fate, and in few weeks he dies. The
dove, however, sings the song in Span
ish. 1t is a tradition among the Mex
leans that once the fever accompany
ing an attack Of pneumonia se~>S
them 1t is necessarily fatal, and be-
cause Of this all medicine and all ply
sicians are refused and the Mexican
usually dies. The dove brings Sic
story Of death in its weird cooling. ac-
cording TO the belief Of the natives,
and many who have been seized with
the fever who otherwise might have
recovered have succumbed, owing to
their belief in the tradition. That Is
the reason, it is said why pneumonia
is fatal to so many Mexicans.-New
York Herald.

Sweet Potato Culture.

The sweet potato may be grown in
this country from the Canadian border
to the gulf, provided the soil is suit
able. Neither stiff clay nor pure sand
will do, but sandy clay. moderately en-
rlched, contains the elements for the
largest and best favored tuberS. The
seed tuberS are planted very early in
the spring in a hotbed. and several
sets OF plants may be taken from each
one The transplanting must be de-
lerred, In the more northern sections
OF the country, until all danger from
| frost is past.
In preparation for planting, quite
| high ridges should be thrown IN with
a pillow, about three feet apart the
soil being entirely free from grass roots
and weeds and fiattened on top. The
high ridging is best for two reasons. TO
more Of the heat of the sun to the
roots. The young plants are set about
fifteen inches apart in the rows, and
for this operation cool, cloudy weather
Is most favorable. After the plants are
well started the soil on the fiattened
top of the ridge may be kept open and
free from weeds by the use Of the hoe
or rake, while the cultivator Is used
between the rows, followed by lister
or hoe TO throw the earth back against
the ridges. This may require two or
three repetitions before the vines so
cover the ground as TO prevent any
damaging growth of weeds Should
frost threaten, before there is time to
dig and care for the product, all
hands should be turned in to complete
ly cut off the vines. since if these are
frost-bitten, the injury is communicated
to the tubers and their flavor and keep
ing qualities are impaired but If the
tops are removed the cold of early
frosts will not affect them.
A dry spell is most favorable for dig
ging and curing in the shade but where
there Is good circulation Of air, and
in about a week they will be ready for
storing. The sweet potato will not
endure a low temperature and a very
dry, warm situation should be chosen,
never in cellar, unless the latter con-
tains a furnace. They do best spread
on raised platforms or in shallow
boxes covered with road Gust or dry
sand, and thus cared for they will
keep until the following spring. where
this is desirable. AS a rule, however,
a large proportion of the crop Is con-
sumed while it is In its best condition,
during the fall and early winter
