which | hunted cougar, lynx and bear in the
Rockies, or such packs as those of the Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana planters with whom
have hunted bear, wildcat and deer in the
cane-brakes of the lower Mississippi, would
not only enjoy fine hunting in these vast
marshes of the upper Paraguay, but would
also do work of real scientific value as re-
CARDS all the big cats.
The Savage Fire-Ants.
The hre-ants, of which l have above spo-
ken, are generally found on a species of
small tree or sapling, with greenish trunk
They bend the whole body as they bite, the
tail and head being thrust downward A
few seconds after the bite the poison causes
considerable pain; later it may make tiny
fostering sore.
There is certainly the most extraordinary
diversity in the traits by which nature
achieves the perpetuation of species. Among
the warrior and predacious insects the
prowess is in some cases of such type as to
render the possessor practically immune
from danger. In other cases the condition
of its exercise may normally be the sacrifice
of the life of the possessor. There are
wasps that prey and formidable fighting
spiders, which yet instinctively so handle
themselves that the prey practically never
succeeds in either defending itself or retail
iating, being captured and paralyzed with
unerring efficiency and with entire security
to the wasp The wasp's safety is absolute.
On the other hand, these fighting ants,
including the soldiers even among the ter
mites, are frantically eager for a success
which generally means their humiliation;
the condition of their efficiency is absolute
indifference to their own security. Probab-
ly the majority of the ants that actually lay
hold on foe suffer death in consequence;
certainly they not merely run the risk of but
eagerly invite death.

:. THE DUEL :.

The bingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
Twas half past twelve. and (what do

Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink!

plate
Appeared to know. as sure as fate.
There was going to be a terrible spat,
G wasn't there; I simply state
What was told mo by the Chinese

The Bingham dog went "bow-wow-
wow!"
And the calico cat replied "mee-ow"
The air was Uttered in an hour or SO,
With bits of Bingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the
chimney place
Up with its hands before its face
For 1t always dreaded a family rowi
(Now mind. I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares u
true.)
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And walled, "Oh, dearl What shall we
do?"
But the glngham dog and the calico
cat

In the aE'fulest way you ever saw
And, OH how the gingham and calico
flew!

Next morning where the two had sat
They. found no trace Of dog or cat
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away
But the truth about the cat and pup

Now, what do you think Of that

given me.
All that afternoon the rain continued 1t
was still pouring in torrents when we left
the Cuyaba for the Sac Lourenco and
steamed up the latter few miles before
anchoring; Dom Joao the younger had ac
companed US in his launch.
The little river steamer was of very open
build, as is necessary in such hot climate
and to keep things dry necessitated also
keeping the atmosphere sitting. The Ger
man taxidermist who was with Colonel Ron,
don's party, Reinish very good fellow
from Vienna, sat on a stool alternately
drenched with rain and swetering with
heat and muttered to himself Zach,
Schweinereiw
Two small caymans, of the common or
so-called specialized species, with prominent
eyes, were at the bank where we moored,
and betrayed an astonishing and stupid
tameness. Neither the size of the boat nor
the commotion caused by the paddles in any
way affected them. They lay inshore, not
20 feet from u.s. half out of the water. They
paid not the slightest heed to our presence
and only reluctantly left when repeatedly
poked at, and after having been repeatedly
hit with clods of mud and sticks; and even
then one first crawled up on shore, to find
out if thereby he could rid himself of the
annoyance we caused him.
Next morning it was raining, but we set
off on hunt anyway going afoot. cou-
pie of brown camaradas led the way, and
a,,L
followed.
A Strenuous Tramp.
The incessant downpour speedily wet us
to the skin. We made our way slowly
through the forests, the machetes playing
right and left, up and down, at every step,
for the trees were tangled in network Of
vines and creepers Some of the vines were
as thick as a mans leg Mosquitoes hum
med about us, the venomous fre-ants stung
us, the sharp spines of small palm tree tore
Our hands-afterward some of the wounds
festered.
Hour after hour we thus walked on
through the Brazilian forest We saw mon
keys, the common yellowish kind, species
of cebus; couple were shot for the muse
UNI, and the others raced off among the
upper branches of the trees. When we
came on party of COATS, which look like
reddish, long-snouted, long-taied lank rae
coons, they were in the top of a big tree
One, when shot at and missed, bounced
down to the ground and ran off through the
bushes; Kermit ran after it and secured it.
He came back, to find us peering hopelessly
up into the treetop, trying to place where
the other COATS were.
Kermit solved the difficulty by going up
along some huge twisted lianas for 40 or so
feet and exploring the upper branches
whereupon down came three other COATS
through the branches, one being caught by
the dogs and the other two escaping Coats
fight savagely with both teeth and claws.
Miller told US that he once saw one of them
kill dog. They feed on all small mammals,
birds and reptiles, and even on some large
ones; they kill iguanas; Cherrie saw rat
Ting chase through the trees, coat follow
ing an iguana at full speed
We heard the rush of couple of tapirs as
they broke away in the jungle in front of the
dogs, and headed according to their Gus
tom, for the river; but we never saw them.

One of the party shot bush deer--a very
pretty, graceful creature, smaller than our
Whitehall deer, but kin to it and doubtless
the squthernmost representative of the
Whitehall group.
Miller, when we presented the monkeys
to him, told us that the females both of these
monkeys and of the howers themselves
took care of the young, the males not as
sistng them, and moreover that when the
young one was male he had always found
the mother keeping by herself, away from
the old males. On the other hand among
the marmosets he found the fathers taking
as much care of the young as the mothers;
if the mother had twins. the father would
usually carry one, and sometimes both,
around with him.
After we had been out four hours our
camaradas got lost; three several times they
travelled round in complete circle; and we
had to set them right with the compass

husbandry division OF the state col

of this sort
On account of their large water con

that one pound of grain is equal to
about four pounds of cooked potatoes
or four and one-halt pounds OF pota-
toes raw On this basis anyone can
figure out the probable return OF po-
tatoes when fed to hogs They must
be fed with grain to return satisfac-
tory results. Probably not more than
four pounds of potatoes should be used
for each pound OF grain where rapid
gains are desired.
AS is well known. potatoes should
be cooked. using az little water as pos

The accumulation OF noxious weeds
