DANGEROUS ONLY in PANIC
Hlppopotami VII, Not Attack Man
Unless ImpeI ed by Unreason-
ing and Blind Fear.

The hippopotamNs which attacked
Sir John Kirk and Livingstone was,
no doubt, bachelor" Speaking of
the hippopotami of the Chobe, Liv.
ingstone says that, "as certain elder
ly males are expelled from the herd.
they become soured in their temper,
and SO misanthropic as to attack
every canoe that comes near them.
The herd is never dangerous except
when a canoe passes into the midst
Of 1t when all are asleep, and some OF
them may strike the canoe In terror.
AS rule, these animals flee the ap-
proach of man. The "solitaires," how.
ever, frequent certain localities well
known to the inhabitants on the
banks, and, like the rogue elephants,
are extremely dangerous" Living
stone learnt that, when attacked by
one, you should dive to the bottom
and keep there a few seconds, since
the hippo soon moves off II he finds
nobody on the surface.

The Center of Grain Production.

The Center Of Grain Production.
The figures Of the last census, when
compared with those of the previous
census reports back in 1850, indicate
that the movement of the production
of grain under natural conditions has
reached its western limit Since 1850
the ''median point" (center) OF pro,
duction of the six great crops-corn,
wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buck.
wheat-was about 20 miles west.
southwest of Burlington, Iowa; but its
western movement in the last ten
years was comparatively very small.
1t remains to be seen what effect the
great irrigation work now planned by
the government will have upon the
location of the great grain fields of
the country.

The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1913-07-11

In root growth alfalfa resembles red
clover, but sends down a stronger tap
root. When properly handled it pro-
duces three or four cuttings each
year and remains productive for many
years. Land which is adapted to red
clover usually grows alfalfa when
any lack of incubation and of lime is
supplied.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1913-07-11

Alfalfa does best WREN sown alone.
Many failures are due to sowing it
with oats or barley. These take SO
much water from the soil that the al
falfa dies.

Alfalfa is being successfully grown
in every agricultural county in New
York, and on at least one farm in
nearly every township It is possible
to grow it on some part of practically
every farm in the state.

When Buttons Were Unknown.

How did the world manage for GEN.
turtles without buttons? In early ages
they were unknown. The YoluminOus
garments of oriental races are still at
tached to their wearers by means Of
straps, as were those of the Greeks and
Romans. The Normans were respon-
sible for the invention. The etymology
Of he word points to the derivation Of
the idea. Bout. an end OF extremity,
and bouter. to push, show that the
button was originally a push piece. like
the buttons of our modern electric
bells The Normans probably conceiv-
ed the idea from the rough knots of
their furniture. on which most likely
they hung their garments. Once In
troduced. buttons came rapidly into
common use.

ABANDONED INFANTS.
The "Baby Post" Once Did a Rushing
Business In EnCIand.


There once fonrished in England a
regular baby post" the rates of post
age being fixed on a strictly business
basis. according to distances traversed.
The curious institution came into ex-
istence in connection with the found
ling hospitalin Guildford street. When
this charity was first established it
was understood that its operations
would be confined to London and its
environs. But the people of the coun-
heard of it and
showed a decided disposition to share
in its advantages; hence the "baby
post"
All over the country there were men
and women who entered vigorously
into the business of carrying chill
dren to London and depositing them
at the gates of the foundling hospital.
The charge was s guineaf from distant
localities like York and Monmouth,
down to Il. guinea from places situated
within thirty To fifty miles of the me-
tropoiis. The unfortunate infants were
borne ON horseback in panniers. two to
each ptnnier. or in wagons lined with
straw, for which the charge was some
what less.
Naturally abuses grew up in con
Ne ton with the traffic. But. ever
apart from them. the mortality among
tae posted babies was terrible. Thus.
our of 1884 received at the hospital
In four years. only 4.400 lived to be
"aDrrentined out" being a mortality of
more than 10 per cent.
Eventually parliament passed a
Measure abolishing the practice, and

Get Rebate Without Receipt.

Receipts are not absolutely essential
in order to recover from the railroads
the excess passenger fair paid since
the discontinuance of the 2-cent fare,
July l, 1911. According to the attor-
ney generals office if a passenger can
prove by competent witnesses that he
took certain trip and paid cents a
mile, or other evidence, he is entitled
to recover all in excess of the 2-cent
rate he paid. .
Shippers will profit greatly as re-
suit of the decree and the railroad
commission is already makings plans
to distribute the rebates of which it
has record The railroads since 1890
have filed complete schedules of their
business, and it is up to the commits
sion to collect the excess from the
roads and pay the money. This will
be difficult task as many unlawful
claims will undoubtedly be presented.
All the excess unclaimed or undistrib-
uted within year goes to the state
according to law.
Do not .sell your receipts. Have
nothing to do with claim agents, but
deal direct with either the railroad
companies or the state. This is the
warning that will likely be sent out
next week by the state railway com.
