Rape Excellent For Lambs.

Fhe Wisconsin experiment station
found rape an excellent crop to cut
and feed green to breeding ewes and
lambs in July, when pastures were
failing Experiments at this station
indicate that best results are obtained
by cutting the plant four inches from
the ground. The stumps readily
sprout and produce succeeding crops.

Man AGAINST Beast.

The conflict between man and wild
beasts in India continues to be waged
on an increasingly tremendous scale
Year by the year the number or saw
age or noxious animals slaughtered
by men increases, and year by year
the number of human beings VINO
fall prey to such creatures also In
creases Ey far the largest items III
both accounts pertain, of course, 10
snakes, but the doings Of many other
creatures also figure largely. The
grand total of all in 1908 was 21,9O4
persons killed by the beasts and SS,-
662 beasts killed by men. In 1909
the deaths were 23,860 human be-
ings and 1O5,S59 animals, and in 1910
they were, respectively, 24,S7S and
110,3S6.
1t is of interest to note that last
year only 23 wild elephants were
killed, while SIS persons were killed
by them: the figures in both cases
being about the average for some
years past. Hyenas killed 25 per-
sons, presumably chiefly children,
Ala of the beasts were slain. The
gray brothers. Of Mowgli are still
numerous and destructive, for 319
persons were killed by them. while
3.114 wolves were killed. Bears
killed 109, and themselves were KILL
ed to the number of 2,292. Leopards
were charged with the deaths Of 35l
persons. and 5.029 of them were
slain. The balance between the num-
Der of human and animal victims was
closest in the case of tigers, for while
only 1.421 Of those dreaded marau-
ders were killed, they killed no fewer
than $50 human beings. AS for
snakes, 110,3S6 of them were killed,
and the appalling number of 22,478
persons fell victims to their venom.
These are the statistics of a coun-
try which is still only partly civilized,
and of which a large proportion is
still overgrown with savage jungle
and forest. 1t would be instructive
to compare them with the statistics
of disease and death in this country
which are due to wild creatures Of
very different kinds, the flies and mos
quitoes, which are purveyors Of
agues, fevers typhoid, cholera and
other of our deadliest plaques. and
which continue to exist and to ply
their destructive trades largely through
the carelessness, the slovenliness and
the willful ignorance Of those who
tolerate them.-New York Tribune.

Mercy Poole staggered to her feet

But the most remarkable Of Mr..
Hudson's exploits Is yet to be related
the story Of how he fought with King

and was instrumental in freeing $1,000
slaves whom that iniquitous monarch
held captive
II was in the Eggygammon (the
reader, 1t might be we'll to remark, will
remember that Agamemnon is a favor

and we were a-blockadin' an a-bom-

Mr.. Hudson left Charleston for Jack
sonville on the Clyde liner Huron on
Friday night. He is most entertain

the exploits narrated above was told in
so simple and straightforward a fash

that one who heard him could not help
believing.-Charleston News and Cou-

1t was inevitable that the girl should
soon refer to the ranger. and Redfield
was as complimentary of him as she
could wish. Ross hasn't a fault but
one. and that's negative one-he
doesn't care hang about getting on,

rangers at the moment are men of
western training. like Ross. but whose
allegiance is now to Uncle Sam. With
others that transfer of allegiance is not
quite complete: hence the ipsolence of
men like Gregg, who think they can

Leo Houch in Boston March a. The
Boston promoters yesterday tried to
substitute Frank Klaus for Houch, but
Kelly's managers insisted on going
through with the original match. Billy
Gibson of the Fairmont club of New
York Is bidding for Kelly-Klaus bout
for March 49, and it is probable that
the middleweights will get together
there.
Yesterday was a busy day for Kelly.
He was offered $4,000 for a twenty
round fight in England with Sam Lang
ford, but turned down the bid as he
figured he would lose money making
the long trip and fighting for small
guarantee. Jack Dillon OF indianapolis
also challenged Kelly for a bout at

clares that he will make the ringside
weight only for championship fight
and will weigh i5S pounds at o'clock
for all others who want his game.
