BUFFALOES IN FIERCE FIGHT
6eliieerent Young Bull Met Match
In Older Adversary In Contest
He Had Provoked

4 young buffalo bull with too much
of the fighting spirit in him stirred
| up trouble in the herd at Bronx park
and gave hundreds of spectators an
opportunity of seeing how even a buf.
falo. when looking for fight, can get
one. says the New York Tribune.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the herd, which was in the far corner
OF It's Enclosure, began to move to-
ward the stables. There was some
frfsking and bucking, for the cool air
was raising the temperature of buff
falo blood.
Arrogant and defiant the young bull
began to look for trouble by brushing
up against another bull it's own age
In too brusque a manner. Immedi.
ately the two buffa!oes squared off :;
there was quick movement, and two
heads went together with a whack,
and then the more peaceably inclined
one backed off.
But not so an older bull. which had
been watching Developments. He
walked right over to the confident
young bull, sized him up. and then
challenged by lowering his head.
And then came a fight which looked
as If 1t were TO he to a finish. The
young bull pulled back. switched his
tail. and went beadlong at the other
bull. The big fellow never budged.
but the blow seemed to daze the
younger one. Then the young one
charged again. the impact being plain
ly heard by the much.excited specta
tors.
The second charge was as ineffec
tive as the first, and as he again drew
back TO strike the older bull started
tie third round with a plunge for
ward that showed mature buffalo
strength as well as judgment. At the
third charge the young bull went on
his knees. trembling in every muscle
1t seemed to be sure thing that the
older bull would gore his adversary
which would have been according to
buffalo ethics. but he did not. For,
after looking at the defeated young
bull, he joined the herd and started
for the stables.
This was the first fight in months

Gu. on Canadian importatlon,

Ten or twelve million bushels OF
Canadian barley were annually ex.
ported to the United States until 1890,
but the Mckinley tariff, by increasing
the duty from 10 cents to 30 cents a
bushel, cut Off this trade Immediately.
In 1908 the United States bought only
100000 bushels Of barley I'm the Do

POULTRY FARMING.

The raising of poultry is an indus
try found on more farms in the Unit
ed States than any other. Most farm
ers keep a few chickens which find
their living from the waste products
of the farm. They are thus practical
ly no expense and all of the product
Is profit. From thirty to seventy-five
hens can thus be kept on an ordinary
farm. The magnitude of this form OF
the industry is so great that it inter-
fers materially with the special poul-
try farm. 1t is probable that more
failures are made in poultry farm
Ing than in any other type Of farm
ing undertaken by beginners, yet it
Is decidedly one of the best and
most profitable types of farming
when properly conducted It is high
ly essential to begin in a small way
IN order to learn the details Of the
business before much capital is in
vested in it. There is an enormous

ROBINS AT 1Oc. A DOZEN
10000 of Them Have Been Slaugh-
tered in One Tennessee Town.

Robins are numerous at Lotion,
Tenn, and are selling readily on
the local market at 10 cents doz-
en-" according to a Murfreesborro
special to the Nashville American. 1t
should be explained that the robins
are not so numerous as they used to
be, for the fact that they sell for
10 cents a dozen has induced many
men and boys to engage in the whole
sale slaughter of the birds.
thousands of the robins, the spe-
cial says, gather in the cedars to
rcost, and hunting parties go in the
night and capture and kill them in
lar3e numbers. One party caught
$500 birds in one night One hun
ter caught 81 birds in one tree. 1t
is estimated that 10000 have been
killed within the last three weeks
1t is great sport-and the robins sell
for 10 cents a dozen That is the
way in which wild bird life is being
protected in some parts of this great
country
less bird He is an indefatigable de-
stroyer of insect pests. Any one who
has ever watched him on lawn can
testify to his industry in searching
out bugs and worms, and his capacity
for putting them where they can do
no harm. If there is cherry tree
handy he will visit it occasionally,
but he much prefers to forage after
living things. He is cheerful, hap
by birds, and rather likes to make
himself handy around the premises,
rearing a family the while in the
boughs of the old apple tree. He is
not much of singer SO far as the
quality of his music goes, but he is
always willing to give you a sample
of the best he can do in that line,
and the effect is not unpleasant to
the human ear. In fact, the robin is
an all-round good fellow, and is al
ways ready to be friendly and serv-
iceable if given half a chance
1t is to be regretted that our neigh
bors in Tennessee are not giving the
robin even half chance, but are
numbering him in cold blood. There
really seems to be no reason for it
except that robins are worth 10 cents
a dozen. That also would seem to be
about the proper market quotation
for men who engage in such slaugh-
ter, either for pleasure or profit

There are five common types o.
chicken farming, namely, ID the pro
duction OF eggs for the general mar
ket, % the production of eggs for
Matching, (3) the production Of br0il-
ers, ca the breeding Of fancy poul-
try, and 90 the Matching Of chicks
Tor sale as soon as they are Matched.
Nearly all successful pOultrymen be-
gan in small way by producing eggs
for the general market. BY careful
breeding up the flock and developing
its egg-laying capacity they have
finally been able to embark in the
production OF eggs for Matching pur-
POSES, for which there is a ready sale
for men who have earned a reputa-
ton for producing good stock. The
breeding OF fancy poultry is. a. Il
rule, not q very profitable industry.
1t requires a large amount Of special
knowledge, and. while q few men
have made an eminent success in this
branch of the business, a very large

No Use.

There was once a man who had a
great scheme of philosophy to pro-
pound. He became so engrossed in
his idea that he allowed his hair to
flourish unrestrained, wore out-of-
date clothing and generally went
around in a slipshod manner.
"Humph,' said those who heard
this HE is only posing. He
doesn't mean what he says
So he had his hair cut and acquir-
ed clothing of the latest style and
pattern. Having remodeled himself
thus, once more he started forth to
spread hi, new doctrine.
"Humph." said the same people.
"He is only bluffins. He doesn't
know what he is talking about.

be philosopher is to do it by mail

Good Word fer "BIack Bread"

BLACK bread''-that is, rye bread
is not famine ration, says the Lam
Get, but just as good a food as white
bread, and the staple form Of the
staff of life in several civilized coun-
tries. There is almost no difference
chemically between the two breads,
although the wheat contains slightly
the more gluten. Black bread "keens
fresh-that is, moist-much longer
than white bread 1t has a slightly
greater irritant effect upon the intes-
final canal, which is also an advan-
tage under ordinary conditions. The
whole rye bread, or pumpernickel, is
the preferable form.--NeW York
