Money Out of Industry.

sold forty-two head of full blood Cal
loway steers to George Fairbanks.
who shipped them to Chicago. Mr..
Rosa received about $3.50 for the
bunch at Gettysburg, an average of
fully SIS per head. This is one of
the best prices ever given for a herd
of mixed heifers and steers one to
two years old at the Gettysburg mar
ket.
Mr.. Rosa has a large ranch south
of Forest City and southwest of Get
tysburg. The price received for the
bunch at Chicago by Mr.. Fairbanks
has not been made public. but il is
said he made a reasonable profit.
This is considered a prize bunch of
cattle.
Bates and Barnes shipped in six
loads of young feeders to Potter
county on Friday and for the Tanner
ranch another six cars of cattle came
in charge of Mr.. Tanner. Two cars
of young feeders were also shipped in
by Mr.. Gidley, making fourteen cars
of cattle shipped in here in about one
week. They will go at once on grass
in Potter county which is high and
in good condition for feeders.
This importation of cattle is the be-
ginning of a big movement to make
Potter county again a stock raising
county, at which farmers made big
money a few years ago. Both Tan
ner and Bates and Barnes will ship
in more cattle for feeding purposes
in a few days.

Habits of the Cuckoo

--
 It is quite mistake to suppose that the cuckoo neglects her eggs after she mas deposited 1t in tho nest of another bird. declared Oliver o. Pike. in a lecture at the Camera club. Tho cuckoo kept . watchful eye upon her treasure, and should any accident befall it. she Iaid another egg in another nest.
 MT Pike said he believed. although it was impossible to prove 1t. that the cuckoo laid it's eggs in the nest of a bird of the sams species as that by which 1t had it- self been reared. Thus a cuckoo reared by sage warbler laid it's egg in turn in a sedge warbler's nest
 So wonderful wae the spell which tho young cuckoo exercised over other birds that he had seen birds other than fte foster parents pause in their flight to feed It. giving 1t the food which was intended for their own young, and onoo .ha aaw a young cuckoo fed by birde of five different specieS In succession.
