is the interesting part OF this nara
tive The young woman trainer WAS
working with a group of grizzy bears
and lions in the training arena, and
had gained consent to have Caesar
turned in among the other animals.
One of the largest grizzlies made a
sudden attack upon the trainer, seiz-

ging her about the cage.
With the swiftness of fury known
only to the lion, Caesar sprang upon
the pear, and In less than minutes
the giant grizzly was lifeless
Immediately after the battle, Caesar
began to show the greatest liking for
Miss Florine, his ferocity seemed to
have vanished, and in less than two
weeks he was doing several lion acting

Caesar, is a story of some consider

of the man eating monarchs of the

years old in the jungles of Africa, and

The prohibition of selling brandy
in the government monopoly shops
was introduced throughout the Rus
sian empire from the beginning of
the war, on the day of mobilization.
and has now been in force for more
than eight months. One of the Rus

corning the results of this measure.
and has published some of the statis-
teal data that were collected. The fol-
lowing list shows that the consump-

year; July, 1856 gallons in 1913

Few farmers who raise turkeys
make suitable preparation for the bus
mess. These birds, being but recently
reclaimed from the forest, where they
take care of themselves, many take 1t
for granted that they are capable of
doing well without care in a state of
domestication, and as they are of a
wild and roaming nature, assume that
the more freedom they have the better
1t is for them, says a writer in Balti-
more American. This is one Of the
half-truths that do great damage in
the rearing of the birds
An experienced breeder says: ION
| grounds that are contaminated by 9TH
er poultry one has less chance of
raising the poults than when they are
put on clean ground away from other
| fowls. The most critical time in a
| young turkeys life is when it is from
two to six weeks old. After this all
danger is practically over, as turkey
becomes very hardy and rugged.
| New blood should be introduced ev-
cry second year. Another mistake is
made in mating cockerels with pullets.
The resultant progeny are weak and
very short lived. Mature birds are
always best for breeders, and if we
have an exceptionally choice hen we
do not hesitate to keep her for a num-
| Der of years. We have had hens nine
years old that laid we'll The eggs
from old hens are much larger and
are usually sure to hatch strong and
vigorous poults.

We consider that the best methods
of improving in size, weight and stand
ard markings is to select the finest
and strongest tom possible and mate
him with the largest hens, even
though they are not SO well marked,
not forgetting that the tom is half
the flock. The turkey hen under
brooding her poults, and the results
from her methods are an improvement
over any other way.
Confine the mother hen in a coop
where the poults can run in and out
at will. The coop should be moved
daily on the fresh grass and should be
supplied with plenty of wheat chaft
to keep it dry and warm. The poults
must not get wet. For the first two
weeks | give the little poults dry
wheat bran soaked in sweet milk. At
ter this they are fed almost wholly on
cracked wheat until old enough to eat
whole wheat Sweet milk is excellent.
When half grown, l give them bran
mash early in the morning before they
go off and usually put in a little sui
phur, tincture of iron or a liberal al.
lowance of charcoal. This is excel
lent in purifying the blood. If bird
appears to be a little droopy, l give a
small dose of EPSON salts.
Never feed new corn until it is hard
and dry. Select dry, well drained land
for turkeys; damp ground is sure
death. l consider the bronze as being
the largest and most popular.

Farm poultry Ia usually very much
neglected because most people think
fowls can find most of their feed dur
ing the warm weather and farm work
presses and time is precious when any
thing that does not plainly show the
necessity for attention, is likely to be
left undone.
AS a matter of fact poultry requires
attention every day in the year. and
there are many duties about the poul-
try yard that call for performance,
especially during the summer months.
| think the most important thing
that calls for attention during the
summer months is the destruction of
insect pests or measures to prevent
them from appearing at all.
1t is entirely unnecessary to have in
sects about poultry house, and
look upon their presence as proof
positive OF carelessness The very
best way to combat is to begin before
they appear, and prevent them from
appearing at all
This is about the easiest task that
can be set for q poultryman.

SHOE TOKEN OF Subsection
Ancient Significance of Custom Which
is Now Looked Upon as
Merely a Joke

AS specially applied to weddings,
there is suspicion that the throwing
of old shoes-or new slippers, for all
that-had at first a significance which
would surely be most Objectionable to
mountaineering brides. 1t seems to
nave been a token of the complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master. In the East shoe or a
slipper was publicly borne at the head
OF the bridal procession in indication
of the brides subsection, and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom used
to strike the bride a blow with his
shoe as sign that she was thereafter
to be submissive to his will. Among
the HISTORIANS 1t was the custom for
the bridegroom to kick the bride, and
Tor her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her
To this day there is a common Gus
tom In Russia for the bridegroom on
his wedding night to require the bride
to pull off his boots. In one of them
Is whip, and In the other a gift II
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip, she gets a stroke from the
lash, and is to expect fioggings there
after, but If the gift is first disclosed
her married life will be happy. 1t is
related of Martin Luther that once,
after performing the wedding cere-
mony for couple, he took off the
bridegrooms shoe and placed it upon
the brides pillow, as a sign that she
should in all things and at all times
be subservient to her husband.

TOO MANY COOKS.
"Too Many Cooks" Fresh From New
York, VIII Play at Lakewood Next
Week

Frank Craven's domestic drama
TOO Many Cooks which was produc-
ed in Boston and New York last sea-
son is delightfully."- amusing play for
next week at Lakewood. The title
Too Many Cooks has a double sig
nificance, the well known adage being
brought to mind by the propensities
of numerous members of the Cook
family to give advice and dictate to
Alice Cook and her f1ance, Albert
Bennett, what shall or shall not be
done respecting the new house. The
construction of which is viewed in
three stages, one TO each act, and the
way in which friends and relations
aid" in the erection of an architec-
tural dream for the young couple Is
the reason for almost continuous
hilarity on the part of the audience.
1t is a bit out of real life, hugely
comical, clean, and running along to
a happy finale in a most agreeable,
natural way.
The play will be presented at Lake
wood, complete with new scenery, and
will include In the cast three mem
bers who were in the play last sea-
son in New York, Mr.. David, Harry
Sleight and Ralph Simone. A splen-
did performance is assured in this
one of the most interesting plays for
the season.
