CRATES Destroy Telegraphs.

A campaign is being waged against
CRATES, which have been destroying
our telegraphs by scratching their
necks on the wire, says an East Afri-
can correspondent. These beautiful
creatures, which habitually feed on
the leaves of the acacia, stripping it Of
it's leaves as high IS their long necks
and p%rehensile tongues can reach, rare
ly resist such attractions, and, as many
of the telegraph posts in the protec-
torate sprout with leaves each spring,
their temptation is easily understood.
The giraffe has long enjoyed special
protection in British territory. 1t Is
altogether taboo to the sportsman in
several provinces of British East Afri-
ca, notably round Fort Hall and Mount
Kenia, and even elsewhere a special
license to kill a bull costs ten pounds.

NOT MUCH CHANCE FOR RAIN
to Conserve Moisture by Guilt
waiting the Crops.

c. K. McQuarrie, state agent for the
University of Florida extension divi-
sion, advises farmers to save all the
rain that they 4 within the next few
months. Mr.. McQuarrie thinks that
there is not much chance for plenty Of
rain until the rainy season. At my
rate, Is long as the present drought
continues moisture conservation should
be practiced.
Land should be cultivated after
every rain. This will break the crust
and prevent moisture from escaping.
1t is not enough to cultivate near the
plant rowS and leave the middles I'M
broken. Moisture will soon find chan.
nels through, the unbroken surface.
The capillary force works horizontally
as well rs vertically, and can trans
port water In any direction.

Lauah Is Effective Weapon.

An optimist. u woman who has the
best of reasons to regard fate unkind-

with which to meet calamity. She
laughs when a bit Of china, dear to her
heart, comes to grief, and q even
achieve something like a laugh when
she learns of the treachery of a friend.
Her optimism is the sole hold she has
on life, for unusual nerve strain would
shorten her life if it die not result in
immediate death. The difficulty Of
achieving philosophy under better con-
ditions is beyond some of us, and here
is a woman who has had the courage
to laugh in tine face of circumstances
that might we'll leave her sore and

Removing Dents From Furniture.

When wood is badly denied or
scratched. it is often a problem to
know how to get rid OF the marks.
This is quite easy if the following
plan is adopted: First of all, fold a
piece Of blottins paper at least four
times; then Saturate with water,
finally allowing the su%perfluous mois-
ture I drip away. Now heat a flat
iron until it is about the warmth re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp b!otting paper over the dent and
press firmly with the iron. As soon
as the paper dries examine the mark.
1t will then be found that the cavity
has filed up to a surprising extent.
Where the dent is very deep a second,
or even a third, application on the
lines indicated might be tried. Sooner
or later even serious d~epreSSionS can
be drawn up, and most people who
have not tried this plan will be sur
prised at the result Of the treatment.

Jefferson's Mammoth Cheese.

On the Fourth of July in Jefferson's
time. after the levee at the White
House, it was the custom for officials
and others to gather at n of the tav-
erns where toasts were given and an
swered until the reputation of the
landlords house had been sustained.
At one of these independence day BAN
quets held at Stelle's tavern in the
early part Of the nineteenth century Is
toasts were made and to each toast Is
guns were fired. President Jefferson
sent over from the White House a
goodly piece of his mammoth cheese
which admirers in Cheshire, Mass,
had sent to him and which had to be
taken to the White House on a dray
drawn by six horses.

Romance Is Spoiled.

There is q mound of earth in St.
Paul's church, at New York, that is
overgrown with long. coarse grass and
looks like an unkempt, unmarked
grave. Groups of young women from
Office buildings gather in that quiet
part of the churchyard every day at
the noon hour to eat their lunches.
Among these regular frequenters of
the place there has been much Specula-
ton as to the meaning of this new
grave and why ii should be SO neg

hive been woven about it by the i'm

Bloodhound Not Fierce.

No real reason exists for the COM
mon belief that the bloodhound is q
fierce animal, ready to tear the per-
son whom it may be tracking to pieces.
It is, on the contrary, rather noted for
it's gentleness, even seeming timid, I'M
less specially trained to attack The
origin of the breed, according to
Count LIE Couteulx de Canteleu, an au-
thority on the subject, is from, St
Hubert of St Huberts abbey in the
Ardennes. It dates from the earliest
ages, and the breed certainly existed
In the time of the Gauls.

CONSERVE ALL FARM MANURE
Necessary for Farmer to Save All Fer
tiIizers Produced-Sheltered Pit
~ Should Be Made.


: During the present potash famine 1t
Is necessary for every farmer to con
serve carefully all the farm manures
produced. 1t is a ~well-known fact that
farm contain q large proper
ton of the potash that was originally
In the plants consumed by the ami
mails. The amount of potash in the
manure varies directly with the amount
In the plants. Those animals fond OF
plants running high in potash pro
duce a mandfe running high in this
element. Goat II is u striking
illustration. Animals fond of plants
cunning high in ammonia produce a
manure high in ammonia. Horse and
cattle manure are in this class. Poul-
Try manure runs high in ammonia and
phosphoric acid.
Dean ?. II. Rolls of the University
Of Florida college of agriculture calls
attention to the fact that the ammo
mia, potash and phosphoric acid con-
tent of the anu of these farm ami
mails is in the best condition for use
as q fertilizer. If the manures are not
protected against teaching rains, the
soluble fertilizers or the fertiliZing
elements available to plants will be
washed out and the will lose
q la.ge amount of their value.
A manure pit. sheltered against rain,
should be provided on every farm.
There is no better fertilizer and at
the same time there is no more profit
able form of fertilizer to employ than
farm manureS.

TO DISCOURAGE SITTING HEN
Rocking Coop Will Force Fowl to
Roost on Center Shaft@Quick
Results Are Assured.

"The device consists of a coop made
Of lath about two feet square and
swung on a shaft set a little above
the center so that most of the weight
will be below the shaft on the lower
part of the coop. The ends of the
shaft are set IN posts about three feet
above the ground. 1t is impossible for
a hen to sit on the Slated bottom, and
if an attempt is made, the rocking
and tipping OF the coop will soon
make her seek a more stable support,
and the only one within the coop is
the shaft passing through it; and the
most persistent broody hen is usually
glad to roost on it the first night"
