Great Man Didn't Scare.

A student once tried to frighten
Cuvier, the great naturalist, and sue
ceeded only in giving the wise man a
curious way OF showing his knowledge
OF living things. The student dressed
up as a terrible animal and crept into
the professors bedroom one night.
"Cuvier." he cried. in hollow voice.
"Cuvier. I've come to eat you!"
The naturalist peered at him and i'm.
mediately broke into laugh.
What. horns and hoofs-graminiv-
orous-you can't" he said.
He saw that the supposed monster
had hoofs and horns and he knew that
such animals eat grain and grasses
and not flesh. So he was not in the
least afraid OF being eaten.

What Poems Believe.

Just as the religion of the Mexican
peon causes him to people his daily
surroundings with the presence of the
saints, so does his superstitious mind
assign supernatural causes to things
not easily explained, and bid him see
evil spirits and hobgoblins in strange
or unfrequented places.
Naturally. much of this superstition
has come down with the traditions OF
his Aztec forbears. whose polytheis-
tic religion set up many imaginary
gods and spirits.
The devil and his attendant hobgob-
lins are active people in this peoples
minds.

GOOD FARM NOTES
FOR LATE SUMMER
Go Slow in Feeding Green Fod-
der-Provide Shelter for
Sheep-Examine Bees.

Great temptation to feed green fod-
der now. Go slow and don't forget
that dew-wet and rain-soaked corn will
cause bloat.
This is a hard month on the sheep,
and they should have shelter from the
sun and plenty Of clean water.
Poultry is moulting these days and
that is hard on the birds. Feed no old
corn, but give them plenty Of clean
stun.
II chickens are permitted to crowd
into punches in close house these
hot nights they will easily catch cold
when damp cool day comes Better
move the roosts out into the scratch
Ing sheds.
Examine every colony OF bees now
and see that each has healthy
queen.
Get the seed OF wheat ready by
running it through the tanning mill
When you think you have blown out
all the foul stun and shriveled seed
fun IL through again.
Stop cultivation in the orchard this
month and give the sap in the trees a
phancs to go down TO the roots.
Burr the tent caterpillars.

BEST ARRANGEMENT
OF THE BEEHIvES
When Placed Too Close Together
Insects Are Killed Getting
Into Wrong Entrances.

II Is strange what a difference OF
opinion there is concerning so sim
pie a matter as the arrangement OF
hives. Some beekeepers place them
not more than six inches apart. Our
own experience is that five feet is not
too far.
We have repeatedly noticed that
when hives are placed so close togeth-
or large numbers OF bees are killed
when the returning swarm enters, in
considerable numbers, the neighbor-
ing hives, says writer In Wisconsin
Agriculturist. And then, too. there
are losses OF queens when fertilization
takes place. And last and most i'm.
portant OF all. II there is foul brood in
the apiary It will spread through the
agency OF the young bees, particularly
on windy days when these youngsters,
which are always accepted, are blown
away from their own to other en-
frances.
II you must place hives so close
together, face the first south and the
next to the north. Facing to the north
will not be injurious TO the bees, as
80 many imagine. In the above we
have overlooked one thing. viz. that
when hives are placed so close to-
gether. young queens. returning from
their wedding flights, get into the
wrong entrances and are killed.

on any animal, as success in stock
raising depends in a measure on OBJ
tanning the confidence OF the horses
or cattle, which must th=ive and be
in the pink OF condition in order to
bring in the greatest profit.
In raising both calves and colts 1t
is best TO begin their training very
carly. The calf that has been chased
around the farm by the family dog or
constantly irritated by the surly or
nervous actions OF its caretaker. will
not often grow into the quiet, gentle
COW which tends to business and new
er kicks the milk pail The ytnng
colt that Is carelessly trained will ac-
cuuulate a number OF tricks that can
never be entirely overcome.
Teaching the children on the farm
how to handle live stock is one OF
the best ways of assisting in bringing
up the stock right. II is usually the
children, assisted by the dog. that
get the most fun out Of chasing the
cows and colts or teasing the bull Lom
the safety of a good strong fence.
Such amusement is not Intentionally
harmful TO the animals. but 1t results
in bringing up horses and cattle with
bad dispositions, and these disposl-
tions often cost money and result in
accidents, which are not profitable for
the farmer.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1915-09-23

The most successful managers CT
live stock are the men who have a
natural affection for the animals. Be
cause Of this regard for the stock
they watch the animals carefully and
1t follows that they are quick TO note
any falling on in condition. That is
why men with a natural affection for
animals are good feeders. BY watch
ing their condition and noting the re-
Enlts OF changes In feed the good
feeder is able to regulate the ration Of
each individual animal. This natural
affection for animals leads a man into
a certain respect for his charges.
The stock On the farm all possess
nervous dispositions in certain de-
grees, and the farmer who is quiet
around the barns and quiet yet firm
in all his commands, will seldom lose
control OF either a nervous horse or
an angry bull.
A horse that has been given a lump
OF sugar by its caretaker will seldom
forget the kindness nor lack a friend
ly feeling for the owner who brought
that sugar. II on the other hand the
horse is offered a lump OF sugar and
then II is drawn back, the animal will
recognize the deception and will al
ways he a little suspicious Of the
person who plays the trick. II is

GAMES OF ZULU CHILDREN
Youngsters Have Their Own Amuse-
ments, Much as Do Those Of
Other Countries.

Zulu children are in most particu-
lars exceedingly like any other chill
dren who chance to arrive In this
world with white instead Of black
skins.
They play the same games, or. II
girls, love the same dolls, as for the
matter OF that the old Egyptians did
long ago.
Indeed, the doll make believe ap-
pears to be carried further than is
common in civilized countries. Thus
the small Kafirs build actual huts for
them in place Of the houses that here
are provided ready-made from the toy
shop.
They give them stones to grind their
corn. mats for sleeping, pots for cook
ing. and so forth. They provide them
with a cattle kraal stocked with clay
oxen, goats and fowls. They marry
them in a realistic manner, singing
the appropriate songs.
The owner of boy doll will manu-.
facture and pay away ten clay cattle
in order to supply it with a wife or
wives in the shape of properly-or i'm
properly--dressed female dolls. and
with such married puppets lad may
play, although it Is beneath his dignity
to anuse himself with an unwed
maiden doll
So 1t is with everything else. They
have their parties which last all night,
and their clans that play with or
more generally fight other clans be.
longing to the next kraal or tribe.
The sense of honor is very fully de-
yeloped in them, and the sense OF
greediness still more-so much so. in.
deed. that they will stuff themselves
with half-cooked and unplucked birds
caught in the weld, which. did they
bring home. they fear would be taken
from them and eaten by their elders
They manufacture excellent traps
to catch these birds and other wild
things, such as mice, which they also
eat
They possess an elaborate system OF
tagging. and a good fight with sticks
not fists. is the JOY Of their hearts.
AS with our children, the boys look
down upon the girls, except on GER
tain occasions. when, for instance, a
pair OF them will share the same
pempe. or bird soaring hut, in which
they play at being sweethearts. the
head boy choosing the best favored
girl, or sometimes the prettiest girl Sc
lecting her own boy.

TOP DRESSING FOR
TIMOTHY MEADOWS
Diluted Liquid Manure Applied
Directly After Harvest Makes
Excellent Stimulant.

The best time to top dress timothy
and mixed grass meadow is directly
after harvest. Diluted liquid manure
applied at this time is a most excel
lent stimulant. Woll-prepared con-
posts OF woods earth and stable
manure, or seasoned muck--uiixed
with Stacked oyster shell lime spread
quite thin, will protect the grass roots
and as soon as the manure is dissolved
by a heavy shower the growth OF the
grass will be much improved. The
compost must be fine and evenly
spread. Fresh stable manure should
not be used. pile It between layers OF
rich earth and by fall 1t will be fine
enough TO spread over land for fall
seeding. Any mulch is valuable upon
the freshly mown grass, and the most
of II will be washed into the ground
after one or two settled rains.
Timothy meadows should not be
pastured. as close grazing is very In
turious-the crowns are exposed to
the hot sun and II the weather should
remain hot and dry for several weeks.
most OF the timothy will be destroyed.
A thin coat OF well-rotted manure,
say six loads per acre, put on with
the spreader. will thicken the sod pre-
vent the growth OF rank weeds and a
heavier crop OF clean timothy may be
cut the following season. This is the
method followed by our leading hay
farmers.

creusot, the Krupps Of France.


The celebrated works of the Creu-
sot, similar 10 Krupps. Germany. were
originally organized for engineering
purposes by William Wilkinson, an
Englishman, in the year 1856. The
works then belonged to a company.
in which Louis XVI had an interest.
and were known as the Royal fcun-
dry. During the revolution the Creu-
sot works were nationalized by the
government, and during the empire
Napoleon kept them running for guns
and ammunition for the army. After
1915 armaments no longer paid at the
Creusot and II became bankrupt. A
new company, assisted partly by Eng
lish capital. was formed. and main

allied undertakings in connection with
the production of armaments and en-
gineering machinery.
