THE QUIET SCARES THEM
Fresh Air Children Find the Silent
 Nights Awesome.


 There is no end of interest in studying the ways of the little fresh air children who are brought into the country at this season of the year. They undergo lots of new and strange impressions when taken from the city and express them selves freely. A little girl when recently asked how she liked the country sobsrly replied: "I like it all but tho nights" Accustomed to the noise of the city, the children's imagination dwells on what might happen ill the big, quiet country at night, and one tot relieved her mind greatly by creeping quietly to the chamber door of her sympathic hostess and saying, "I am afraid to go to sleep, cause it is so still and my sister has scared me-" The presence of the motherly woman at the bedside soon resulted in the tot falling fast asleep.
 The first symptoms of homesickness develop among those who are inclined to be homesick as soon as darkness and the night approaches. One tot in a party of four was found alone sobbing as if her heart would break and on being questioned it was learned that the source of her grief was the fact that the other members of her party had pennies @ ,ough to buy post cards to send back home and that she had not cent to remember friends with. Needless to say that her friends will receive cards of country scenes. ..
 There is difference in the disposition and makeup of these city urchins. It hasn't taken very long for some of the country people to learn it either. They differ from country. children in that the city environment makes them quicker of thought and action than the country bred children. .I
 The boys enjoy the undisturbed free. dom of what is to them wonderful country, and as one of them said. "Dere is no cops round ere to bother ye." t

POISONED CATTLE
Death of Cows and Horses Attributed ... to Poisonous Weed.

Death of Cows and Horses Attributed @ to Poisouous Weed.
 The death of 16 head of cattle and two horses in Great Harrington ana Sheffield recently is attributed to vegetable poisoning, believed to be from hellebore, for some of that poisonous weed was found in Frank T. WheeIer's pasture where three cows died. Mr. Wheeler's loss alone was adout $425 The territory in which the animals have suddenly died ranges from the Wheeler place south to the bridge at Sheffield Plain, Horses and cattle have dropped dead in the pastures, and it is a fact that all of the pastures, where the losses have been sustained are in swampy sec tions, or other places which have not been cultivated for several years.
 Dr. E. N. Cannsn of Pittstield has as- sisted Dr. F. D. Landon of Great Bar rington in post mortem examinations of several cases, and in each instance they have decided that it was vegetable poi soning. The Stomachs of some of the animals have been sent to Austin Peters. chief of the cattle bureau.

Table Manners in 1909

One of the prominent women in fash ionable circles here complains that we are growing lax in our table manners. "We are becoming too free and easy, she says, land women are to blame. They no longer are dignified and re. strained at the table. It is the excep- tion now to see a woman who does not slip an elbow to the side of the table and carry herself as if it were the proper thing to do." There may be good reason for this woman's plaint, still it seems we are not beyond redemption in thls respect. Indeed from some points of view we seem to be improving, for in a book of etiquette, published in London 300 years ago. rules are Set forth which, for their crudity, would startle even the quick lunch fiend of to-day.

Big Lumber Gut

A lumber cut of I65. 100000 feet, mostly white pine, was made in the winter of 190S-09 on the Bad River In dian reservation in Wisconsin under the supervision of the United States forest service. This heavy cut for one season was due to the disastrous fires of the summer of 1908, which made 1t neces- sary to cut large quantities of timber at once to save it. A notable feature of the contract was the provision that all tops aud slash should be burned. Brush burning was begun the latter rart of April and has recently been completed. A force of from 800 to 900 men required for this work alone. Strips at least 800 feet wide, adjoining green unburned timber. had already been cleared of in- f1ammahle brush by burning it.-En- gineering News.

D0MEsTICATION OF GAME BIRDS
pr. Hodge Discussed this Topic at Poultry Association Field Meeting.

pr. Hodge Discussed this Topic at
 Poultry Association Field Meeting.
 It is commonly held by farmers and sportsmen that our quail and partridge are ''too wild to be domesticated," and that unless the various species can hold their own by process of natural multi plication they are doomed to practical extinction. Fortunately, Dr. Hodge, Clark University's noted biologist, was sufficiently interested to experiment carefully, and his efforts have met with such success that he now regularly breeds partridge and quail at his city home. Further, as result of his years of careful work, he states positively that the quail so readily adopts itself to artificial conditions that it Is compara- lively easy to breed them, and that there is no reason why each town and country place should be without its flock, small or large according to conditions.
 On the evening of Tuesday, July 27th, Dr. Hodge delivered an illustrated lee. turs on this subject at the Connecticut A Agricultural College. His beautiful col lection of slides contained some very rare and unique photos. The partridge strut. ting and drumming: quail i'll all stages of growth from shell to maturity. He also exhibited a number of his birds bred at his city home.
