Seattle, Wash.-A story Of woodland

pair Of weather beaten ~interlocked

One remarkable thing about the
horns is the peculiar structure of the
larger pair, which resemble those o.
q European. elk or Of the ancient Irish
elk far more than they do q set Of
moose horns. In fact there is almost
no palmation, while the prongs are
long and large. More singular still,
under the main beams. where the
palms should be, are q series Of large
prongs, giving the horns a sort Of
double deck appearance, and 1t was
these superfluous prongs that proved

The horns Of the larger moose had
a spread of sixtyAine inches and each
horn had seventeen prongs. The other
set Of antlers is forty-ive inches in
spread, the shovels being broad and
fitting closely to the head. Each ant.
Ter has ten prongs.

animals for death the smaller evil

right, for the long prongs Of the big
horns were sprung on the right side

And this charge must have brought
death to the larger moose. for n OF

RAISE LARGEST WHEAT CROP
North Platte station Secured 81
Bushels Per Acre In 1908 -
Approved Methods Used.

Probably the largest crop OF
wheat ever raised In western Nebras-
ka was harvested at the North
Platte substation in 1908. The yield
was 81 bushels per acre. This was
grown upon land which had been

In order to store up as much mois-
ture as possible according to the most
approved methods Of dry farming. At
ehe time of seeding this wheat In the
autumn of 1907, the soil was thor
pughly saturated with water to q
depth of six feet, and contained IGN
per cent. of moisture by actual test.
During the winter, the moisture con.
tent decreased until 1t stood at IL
per cent. in April, 1908. This de-
crease continued until harvest. not
withstanding the fact that IL inches
Of moisture fell during that time. 1t
Is probable that there was some run'
of and also a small amount OF
evaporation, but the loss from these
factors was small. The greater part
of this water was used In producing
this crop, SO it will be seen that in
raising this 81 bushels Of wheat not
only was the IL inches Of moisture
which fell during the growing season
all used, but in addition to this, mois-
ture which would amount of six OF
seven inches of precipitation which
had been previously worked into the

tends to increase and preserve the

These results. coming as they do

most enthusiastic advocates of dry

 er's Haste.

In rural New England the passing of railway train is still a matter Of public interest quite astonishing to visitors from the city. Last summer three ladies from Boston hired an abandoned farmhouse in northern New England in a region devoted to dairying. One warm August day they walked through the rocky pastures to farmhouse three miles distant, In quest of a two weeks supply of | butter
 On learning that they had come through the fields, the farmers wife exclaimed; Why. you cant bo back that way alone! Our bulls out there In the back lot. and only day fore yistday he treed my son-in-law on q stun for two hours I'll have him go home with you"
 With some misgiyings on the part of the women. the little procession started back under the guidance of the young man. the ladies carrying the butter. All went we'll till they had gone about quarter of a mile, when the escort suddenly called, eX- l citedly: Come on," ani started on a run toward higher ground
 Thinking that they understood tEe | occasion of his activity. they needed no urging to follow him. On and on they sped, throwing away their bui- ter as an impeachment to their speed Finally, bathed in precipitation and gasping for breath, they sank ex- hausted on a rocky ledge whither their guide had led them.
 Standing just above. he waved his arm in dramatic gesture toward the valley below, where freight train could be seen crawling slowly out from between cleft in the hills, and shouted: There she goes-the milk train!"-Youth's Companion
