HOW SNAKES HUNT.
The Idea That They Exert a Hyp-
motto Influence Exploded.

Many are the tales told of how
snakes of various kinds exert a hyp-
motto influence over their prey. A
naturalist now denies this, as the
the result of some experiments.
He shut a number of rattlesnakes
up in a barn, and then introduced
rats and birds for the reptiles to
feed upoL.
The rats we're very restless. but
this ne puts down as a desire to es-
cape rather than the dread of dan
ger. Sometimes, however they
would run straight into the heaps
of straw where the snake lay con-
cealed.
When a rattlesnake wanted to
catch a bird 1t would silently APP
proach its victim, poise for a mo-
ment, make a snap like dart. and
then in leisurely manner retire.
In that sudden dart 1t had eject
ed its poison int the bird. which
then huttered and staggered about
in an aimless fashion. Presently its
movements became more dulled.
The end he'd come,
Then the snake quietly seized it
and bore it off to the heap oil straw
to be consumed at leisure.
Hypnotism did not play the slight
est part in this or any similar cap
ture which the naturalist watched.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS

Regarding the length of time shoes

refitting them, one must be guided
largely by circumstances. From four
to six weeks is the safest period, and
eight weeks should be the extreme linn

long is apt to result in dangerous

luent fitting of shoes than others on
tccount of the rapidity of growth.
Hoofs are not so liable to rapid growth
during winter as in summer. A young
horse that is still growing will require
much closer attention in this respect
than older horses and may have a
hoof ruined great deal sooner through
neglect or inefficient shoeing,

Give THE RUNT PIG
i A FAIR CHANCE.
With Proper Care 1t Can Be
Made a Profitable POrkeT.

1t is often advised to kill the runt
pig on sight, and perhaps this is the
best plan for the large hog grower,
but in this time of insufficient supply
and consequent high prices for hogs
I am of the opinion that it is far bet
into a hog. There are some runts
that will never prove profitable, but a
pig of good breeding will usually grow
out and make good hog, writes \. j.
Legg in the American Agriculturist
Last spring there was one pig in Il
litter of my Chester Whites that was
not half as large as the best pigs Of
the litter. Some would have advised
killing it, but let it go with the rest,
and at weaving time it was nearly as
large as any of them. The man |
sold a part OF them to at weaving
time did not object to paying the same
price for it that he did for the 9th

usually pay to give the runt a little

Dry Quarters For Poultry.

Keeping poultry dry is of more i'm

they are dry they will be comfortable.
For this reason the henhouse roof
should be tight to exclude all rains.
The same principle applies to the
poultry grounds. They should be well
drained and dry for health in summer
and comfort in winter. The hen that
must tramp in the water and mud in
winter with wet and cold feet will not
