COYOTES IN CHASE
Farmer and Daughter Have
Thrilling Ride In Kansas.
Pack Of Usually cowardly Animals Get
Scent Of Meat In Wagon and
Make Attack, but Are Eluded
In Flight.

Meade, Kan.-F A. Norris, his
daughter, Mrs. Beulah Robins. and
Mrs. W. o, Johnson. living In Gray
county, we're chased by hungry coy
otes while driving 10 their home. II
was shortly after dark when they
started home by starlight. Shortly
after they crossed Crooked creek they
noticed several animals following
them. At FIRST they believed the pur-
suers were dogs Then others Joined
the pack and the party found them
selves being chased by a pack OF hun
CRY prairie coyotes.
Ordinarily the Kansas coyotes are
cowardly and seldom venture to follow
human beings, but Mr.. Norris had a
lot OF fresh meat in the carriage. and
# Is probable the hungry wolves got
the scent OF this.
AT first little attention was paid 10
the wolves, but as the pack grew IN
size and some OF the holder wolves
made dashes at the horses. the sltua.
1 ton became more alarming.
Mr.. Norris was unarmed, but. sup
posing the coyotes could be easily
driven OF, he stopped the team and
started back with a whip to lash the
animals. To his surprise, they showed
fight and jumped and snapped at him
In such a vicious manner that he
hurried back to the carriage. whipped
up the team and made a wild dash for
the nearest settlement.
| 1t was in a sparsely settled section
Of southern Gray county. Mr.. Norris
succeeded in checking the pack for a
time, by throwing out to them the
meat which he was carrying. The
party finally reached home without
mishap further than a good scare.

Vassar Faculty Considering AboIIshIng

University.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y.-The Vassar
faculty is seriously considering aban-
doning the custom Of selecting the
twenty-four prettiest girls in the soph-
omore class to carry the famous daisy
chain. 1t is said the selections have
frequently caused much III feeling

of the college officials also object to
the custom on the ground that the

officials of the state declare that the
event has stirred up much sentiment
for the preservation Of game.
The herd was located at st. An
thony, Idaho, after having been driven
from the former grazing grounds In
Wyoming In 1t was a snow-whlts
heifer called Lady Whitebird, the most
graceful animal among the elk. The
leaders of the herd were two big bulls
called Taft and Roosevelt. Unlike
those for whom they were named they
were able to get along in peace, and
stood together to repel outsiders.
They held constant station at the door
Of the car, and showed desire to
fight When there was any sign Of dan
ger. 1t was with difficulty that they
were put into the cars on which they
were shipped on sledges to the forest
reserve.

The selection OF separator Is not a
difficult matter IL the farmer will
bear In mind few simple facts.
Cream and skim milk are separated
In the cream separator by the action
Of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force
IS force exerted outward from the
center Of the separator bowl and Is
produced by revolving the bowl at a
high rate Of speed. Just what the
action Of centrifugal force is can be
best explained by a simple and often
used illustration.
When ball attached TO the end OF
a string Is swung around In circle,
the ball, because Of IT'S weight, will
exert an outward pull. The force
exerted on the ball, which makes il
try TO get away from the central point
around which IL Is whirling, is centri-
fugal force. When whole milk enters
the separator bowl IL is acted upon by
centrifugal force and the heavy milk
solids are thrown TO the outer wall of
the bowl. The butter fat which Is
the lightest part OF milk, is not so
strongly affected, and gathers near
the center Of the bowl where 1t mixes
with small amount of skim milk and
forms cream.

POTATO scAB
A New IeIsey corrsspondent wrilesl

a New Jersey Correspondent writes
81 find that my potatoes are badly
infested with what seems TO me 70
answer the description OF potato scab. "
In treating potatoes for scab it Is
best to use one pound Of formalin TO
thirty gallons Of water. This treat
ment should be given the seed before
the potatoes are cut and after treat
ing they should be scattered out and
allowed to dry unless you are ready to
plant them Immediately. After using
the solution for two or three hours il
should be replenished, because when
left open it loses its strength very
rapidly.
We can see no reason why the kero-
sene barrels would in any way hinder
this treatment. We believe IL will be
all right TO use them in treating your
potatoes. AS far as disinfecting the
planter is concerned, we do not believe
this will be necessary If you treat the
seed properly
The fungus disease called scab has
been known TO live for at least six
years in the soil, even though no
potatoes were grown in that field
Because OF this, it is good plan to
rotate your crops and 20 plant your
treated seed In fields where potatoes
have not been grown for at least four
or five years.
The soil that contains an acid is
injurious. TO the growth of potato
scab, hence the application Of sui.
phate OF ammonia, sulphate of potash,
KANT, or acid phosphate will tend TO
free the soil Of the scab fungus. on
the other hand the presence Of lime,
wood ashes, or large quantities of
stable manure, will aid or encourage
the growth OF potato scab.
