AUSTRALIANS WILD DOGS.
Menace to Stock Raisiis-Hish Price
on His Scalp.

Menace to Stock Raisihg-High Price
on His Scalp.
The dingo or wild dog of Australia.
The dingo is to Australia what the
wolf is to eastern Europe and the
coyote to America Hunting in packs
or alone, he is a constant menace to
Australias chief industry, the breeding
of sheep.
Many are the schemes evolved for
the wild dogs destruction, but his
capture or death is a comparatively
rare occurrence when set against his
constant depredations. There are dog
trappers who spend their whole life in
trying to catch dingos, men who have
studied every aspect of their work and
who spare no pains and avoid no
hardships in a constant warfare with
the vile and cunning of the sheep
slayer
Though the dingo is met with from
time to time in almost every part of the
Australian bush, his principal habitat
Is the rough range country In the centre
and north Of New South Wales and the
deep, dark scrubs of Queensland.
The dog trapper's life is of the
loneliest kind. For weeks. perhaps
months, he camps in the desolate
range, setting his traps and watching
with ready rifle in the moonlit nights
for chance shot at his enemy. In the
bush there Is a price on the head OF
every dingo. In some parts dingo
Is worth e10 or even els to the man
who delivers his scalp to the pastoral
board or to the squatter.
This Is made up by sums contributed
among the sheepbreeders and allowed
by the district councils, so generally
recognized an enemy is the wild dog.
With such handsome emoluments to
encourage him, the professional dog
trapper is not easily daunted, and his
patience and perseverance are remark
able. Sometimes he may get as many
as three or four dogs in week, but as
a rule If he gets three in three months
he is doing very well.
AS a rule the dingo confines his muir
derous attacks to sheep and weakling
calves, but in the far out Queensland
districts. where large packs travel to-
gether, hunger has been known to make
them bold and one hears OF them at
tacking men in lonely camps in the
manner of wolves.
The dingo never barks, but his weird
howl Is a familiar sound In the bush
nights and is blood curdling in the eX-
treme and trying to the nerves OF the
new chum camped alone in the bush
for the first time. Owing to his cum
ming and swiftness in changing quar-
ters the dingo holds his own in central
Australia and is likely to do so for
many a day to come even though the
price upon his head-already gener-
Gus one-should be doubled or trebled.

ROBBING THE HIVE.
Protecting the Weak and Feeding tho
Strong Bees Serious Problem
to Keepers.

The first few flights that the bees
made in the spring determined to
great extent their power for the future
harvest The weak among bees are
disposed to be imposed upon by the
stronger Oftentimes when the bees
take their first spring flights they find
hives unguarded. some hives contain
ing honey and no bees, ETC.. which they
at once take possession Of. Bees be-
come frantic over stolen sweets the
same as some men become frantic over
stolen money The bees seem to fol-
low the oft quoted law: The survival
of the fttest makes race stronger.
Here is where the careless beekeeper
often falls down. He allows the bees
to rob each other, carrying disease
from hive to hive. making an uproar
in the apiary, becoming cross and
causing bad neighbors, etc.
All hives should be carefully exam
ined, ali dead colonies should have
their hives put out of reach Of robbers
and wax moths, the weak colonies
entrances should be contracted and all
entrances made larger or smaller, ac-
cording to the size Of the colony. The
weak that are without food should be
fed and the strong made stronger as
fast as possible.
Bees may be fed a strip in small
quantities made about half granulated
sugar and half water, either hot or
cold process-hot beforehand fed
warm in an Alexander or BOardman
feeder. Many prefer the Alexander as
it is handler, safer and less liable to
encourage rob5ing. The bees should
be fed about SHUTDOWN and about one
pint per day. Dc not put any supers
on the hives while feeding strip.
The hives should be located in 4
partially shaded place, sloping to the
southeast The hives should face the
southeast Never allow horses, cat
tie nor pigs to pasture in the bee lot.
Sheep may be used to keep the grass
down, although some report they pre-
fer to keep the grass moved with
scythe

Life-TWO Points Of View.

A little while to worry,
A little while to weep,
A little while to hurry,
And then lasting sleep.
To learn to have endurance,
With many ills to cope:
To hope without endurance
Of any right to hope.
A little while to blunder
Where many dangers lie;
To question and wonder,
Receiving no reply.
Each day of fondly treasure
Possessions that are dear;
Each day to win new pleasure
By giving others cheer.
Each day 10 trust more surely,
To serve as best we may;
Each day to walk securely
Where Hope has marked the Way
Each day to see the beauty
In all things that are fair;
Each day to find in duty
The gladness that is there.

OOCSe.
Il flour barrel placed for the feathers
to fall in. One can then lock the wings
and thus keep better control over the
goose While picking. To lock the
wings bring one over the other and
catch the tip of the upper wing under
the lower. 1t is not hard trick, and
enc can easily study out the knack of
it.
Geese should not be fed or watered
for at least twelve hours before pick
ing. Do not pick your geese until they
are ripe Try small bunch of feath-
ers, and if they pull readily and are
free from blood then they are ripe and
ready to pluck. The feathers when
handled right will command 60 to so
cents per pound. Pull only the small
feathers and keep them clean as pos
sible.
The dressing of geese is dreaded by
most producers. Geese are really the
hardest of all poultry to dress. Here
is an easy method for dressing geese
so that they will show up bright and
yellow, free from blood and splotches
and will command premium prices on
the market: Hang them up by the
feet and make Il cut in the neck to
sever the juguIar vein about one and
one-haIf inches back Of the head. They
bleed best that way. Many people
prefer to stun the bird by blow on
the head before bleeding.
| AS soon as the bird is dead place it
in boiler on the stove with about
three inches of water in the boiler
Have a rack to lay the goose on three
inches above the water and keep the
water boiling and the goose in the boil
err from one to three minutes, depend
| ing Oh its age and the amount of
steam. AS soon as the feathers will
pull easily, hang the goose up, and
as soon rs it is plucked plunge it in n
barrel Of cold water, leaving it for
three or four hours so as to keep 1t
from splotching. Then hang it up
until it is dry and ready to pack. In
picking leave the feathers on its head
and down the neck for about three
inches. and leave all the feathers on
| the last two joints of the wings.
/ Sometimes you can handle your geese
| to better advantage by shipping alive.
Before shipping they should be well
! watered and then fed. The shipping
coops should be over eighteen inches
! high. TO fatten them for market they
should be penned from ten to fifteen
days and fed cornmeal mixed with
buttcrmi!k and given some kind of
green food and plenty Of grit. They
must be kept quiet while fattening.
