SOUNDS MADE BY ELEPHANTS
Those Familiar With the Animal
Easily Recognize Meaning Of Its
Different Expressions.

Elephants are said to make use Of a
great variety of sounds In communi-
eating with each other and In express
ing their wants and feelings. Some
are uttered by the trunk. some by the
throat. The conjunctures In which
either means Of expression Is en-
ployed cannot be strictly classified, as
fear, pleasure. want and other emo
tons are sometimes indicated by the
trunk. sometimes by the throat An
elephant rushing upon an assailant
trumpets shrilly with fury. Fear is
similarly expressed In a shrill, brassy
trumpet, or by a roar from the lungs;
pleasure by a continued low squeak
ing through the trunk or an almost
inaudible purring sound from the
throat Want-as a calf calling its
mother-is chiefly expressed by the
throat. A peculiar sound is made use
of by elephants to express dislike or
apprehension, and at the same time
to intimidate, as when the cause OF
some alarm has not been clearly as
certained and the animals wish to
deter an intruder. It Is produced by
rapping the end of the trunk smartly
on the ground, a current of air hither-
to retained being sharply emitted
through the trunk as from q
valve, at the moment Of impact. The
sound made resembles that of large
sheet of tin rapidly doubled.

A Juror summoned to serve in the
court Of Judge Gates asked to be ex

that he must attend to. The Judge re
fused to excuse him and went on
with the examination of other jurors
Every once in a while this juror would
interrupt and ask to be excused be
cause OF the pressing needs of his
business and the Judge would com
mand him to sit down. At last Judge
Gates, losing patience. demanded:
And what is your business. sir
that is so pressing?"

One OF the things to attract the

In Andalusia, there are several small
settlements, for towns they can hardly
be called, where these wanderers have
taken possession of caves in the
mountain side. whence they sally forth
to tell fortunes and to flch. Wher

wicked looking knives, which they

Hanging Is the Only Penalty for Murder

The right Of jury to qualify its YER

The decision of the appellate court
sustains the finding Of Justice Wright

DRAFT HORSES FOR FARMING
Breeding Of Big Animals Has Come to
Be Very Profitable Adjunct
Prices Are still High.

The breeding Of draft horses has
come to be very profitable adjunct
TO diversified farming, and at no time
during the last fifteen or twenty
years, writes George P. Gr9ut In an
exchange, has the price been higher
for good draft and heavy farm horses.
While the automobile may. to a GER

for city delivery. still the bulk OF the
farm work Is done with horses; and
prices for good stock ars as high or
higher than ever.
There is not the demand for the
medium quality and lightweight
horses that there used to be, and
good, smooth draft and heavy farm
horses are bringing good prices.

LIVE STOCK
J7y NOTES

One pound OF cottonseed meal may
be fed daily to a horse. but 1t should
be mixed with other feeds.
A hog can be starved to eat almost
anything, but this is poor economy.
for It retards development.
A. ]. Lovejoy, the famous hog breed
er Of Illinois. once stated that hog
gained 400 pounds on an acre Of
clover.
Money that Is spent for wen bred
stock might Just as well be thrown
away II the stock Is not properly tax
en- care of.
The best ration for the steers de-
pends largely on the weight OF the
steers, the feeds available and the
prices Of the same.
Pure-bred cattle or other live stock
are what they are largely because Of
the feed and care they and their an
cestors have received.
The object of horse stable Is not
to get q certain amount Of air IN the
stable and to keep the same inclosed
in the stable all the winter.
Are the young pigs to be allowed to
shiver and freeze In the cold. damp
winds Of early spring? And die at the
rate Of one to five out Of every ten!
Alfalfa hay Is quite q common
roughage for horses in the west
A steady diet Of corn win produce
thumps In young pigs. Give them
slops composed Of shorts and mid.
dlings and only little corn. and that
