Saved by His Horses Fright.

S0VO ~ ~
When the hunter is hunted there Is
more excitement than fun. A trav-
eler in southeastern Africa while hunt
ing buffaloes suddenly came upon an
enraged female elephant, which imme
diately charged him.
The horse had no show on the rocky
ground. so the man d~ismounted and
ran for shelter. As he gained a secure
place he turned and saw the horse
with his head up and fore feet planted
firmly in the ground. a If carved from
stone, while the elephont was smell
ing about with her trunk.
The horse acted as If paralyzed with
fright and stood thus for fully five
minutes then he gave a sudden jump,
ran to a rocky ledge fifty feet away
and again stood still. The elephant
looked much puzzled at this action and
tapped her ears meditatively.
Then she raised her head and began
to trumpet at a furious rate. This
was the chance the hunter had been
waiting for and he fred. She stopped
screaming, ran swiftly a hundred yards
and fell dead.

PESTS IN GRAIN BINS.
aiust Be Killed Before Storage ct

iiust Be Killed Before Storage Of
Harvest if Damage 10 to Be Avsrtsd.
A few cents worth of carbon bisul-
phide will kill the insects hiding In the
cracks Of your bins waiting for the
new grain. Insects injurious to stored
grains, says G. A. Dean, a bug spe-
cialist at the Kansas Agricultural col
lege, work 81 vigorously that the farm
er must either kill them, dispose of
his grain or sit still and allow them to
damage it. Killing these pests before
the grain Is stored prevents much dam
age in the fall and winter, he says.
Dust, dirt, rubbish, refuse grain, -four
and meal serve as breeding places for
these pests. Fresh grain should not
be exposed to attack by being placed
with the old which already is infest-
ed. Throw this out Unless the old
grain was badly infested with any m
of the four or FIVE common injurious
insects 1t may not be necessary to
fumigate now, but a thorough clean
ing Of the floor, walls and ceiling
should not be neglected. To avoid in
festatlon In the stack the grain should
be thrashed as soon after harvesting
as possible. Considerable damage has
been done by these insects to stacked
wheat and oats in Kansas In the last
four or five years.
One pound Of carbon bisulphide when
the temperature Is about 80 degrees
| will fumigate 500 cubic feet of space.
At 80 degrees 400 cubic feet will be
thoroughly treated. The building and
bins must be as nearly air tight as
possible while fumigating. The car.
bon bisulphide should be placed In
shallow pans at the top Of the bins OF
building. Evaporation is rapid, the
vapor settling to the bottom Of the bin
and poisoning the insects. If the grain
is not to be used for seed it Is we'll tC
allow the vapor to remain in it fo1
forty-eight hours. Doors and windows
should be opened wide after the fumi
cation and the bins aired thoroughly
one or two hours before entering.
One should be very careful in han
ding carbon bisulphide, as it is highly
infammable. Electric lights must mo-
be used, since when turning them or
or off there always Is danger of pro
ducing a spark. 1t is not safe to have
heat of any kind in the building whe1
the fumigation is in progress.

"sCALPER" FOR WEEDS.

Homemade Tool That Does Good Work
Around Sweet Potatoes, Onions, Etc.
This "scalper' for weeds is a simple
affair and can easily be made by any
blacksmith in a short time, and the
cost, aside from the handle, need not
exceed 20 cents. 1t is made of an iron
rod about twenty-four inches long and
three-sixteenths to one-fOurth of an
inch in diameter. This rod is bent in
the form of a triangle and the two ends
welded together SO as to go in an ordi-
nary hoe handle. Before bending, how
ever, six inches in the center Of the
rod (afterward the base Of the trian.
gle) should be heated and pounded out
to make a fattened surface at least
one-half inch wide with a slight bevel
SO that one side will be sufficiently
thin to make a reasonably sharp edge.
Measure one-half inch on either side
Of the fattened surface or blade and
bend from these two points so as to
form the triangle with the blade as the
base. The sides Of the triangle are

the hill beyond the tracks without be-
