STRANGEST OF SEA MAMMALS
Grotesque WaIrus, as Navioators viii
Testify, Has Strongly Developed
Maternal lnstinct.

The walruses or "sea horses" of the
old navigators are the strangest and
most grotesque of oil sea mammals.
Their large, rugged heads, armed with
two long ivory tusks, and their huge
swollen bodies, covered with hairless,
wrinkled and warty skin, give them a
formidable appearance unlike that of
any other mammal. They are much
larger than most seals, the old males
weighing from 1000 to 5000 pounds
and the females about two-thirds as
much.
Walruses have strongly developed
maternal instinct and show great de-
votion and disregard of their own safe
ty in defending the young. The Es-
kimos at Cape Vancouver, Boring sea.

using ivory--or bone-pointed spears
and sealskin floats. Several hunters
told me of exciting and dangerous en-
mother walruses. If the young are ut
tackled. or even approached, the moth
er does not hesitate TO charge furi-
ously. The hunters confess that on
such occasions there is no option but
to paddle for ones life. Occasionally
an old walrus is unusually vindlctive
and, after forcing hunter to take
refuge on the ice, will remain patrol

Uses for Postcards.

Mount the pretty cards on colored
cardboard five by eight inches, at
taching a cord or ribbon to the two
upper corners for hanging. The re-
cipients Of a missionary box In China,
were delighted with groups of six
cards mounted on colored cambria,
which had been piuked around the
edges. The missionaries declared
'they were pretty enough to hang in
our own home" but they were sent to
some Of the schools, and delighted the
pupils, who see few attractive things.
The children could easily make these
gifts for those across the sea.
The pretty motto and greeting
cards may be converted into things of
use as well as beauty, for the schol-
ars in our home mission schools. Get
q bundle of blotters Of different col
ors. Have the children cut them into
postcard size and carefully paste them
over the writing on used cards. When
given to the pupils they prove Of great
help to them as well as to their
Observation-Disclosures.

Tight stables are not necessarily

RIDE OF PAULINE REVERE
u Differed In q Mid Degree From Her
Ancestors and Alarmed Her
Guardian.

This IL a story of the midnight ride
of Miss Revere. II was Pauline in
stead Of Paul--hIs great-granddaugh
ter from Dana Hall who caused the
alarms In several Middlesex valleys
and farms.
Pauline, the great-granddaughter Of
Paul had left Pine manor, post-gradu-
ate school of Dana Hall school, to
spend the holidays at the home of her
guardian, Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer of
Lancaster.
Well, Il seems that hours went by
and Pauline didn't appear. Mrs. ,Thay-
er usurped part Of the Paul Revere
program and started spreading the
alarm herself.
Meanwhile, Pauline was attending
scrupulously to the rest Of her ances-
trail duties. She was having the ride.
Miss Revere took q couple Of her
classmates along with her to Charles
town and the historic spot whence her
celebrated great-grandfather. the orr
ginal designer Of New England's most
famous tourist-toured ride, started out.
There she and her friends piled into
the fur robes Of 2 specially chartered
sleigh and set out to do Paul Revere's
ride de luxe as II should be done.
II was q great ride the girls had.

MAKING PROFIT WITH SHEEP
They Are Next to Hogs In Their Fa-
ciIitles for Making Gains From
Given Quantity Of Feed.

Sheep are generally considered good
feeders. that Is to say that they have
adaptations for producing gains eco
nomically. Sheep are next to hogs In
thier facilities for making gains from
given quantity Of feed They have
the advantage Of hogs In that they
can convert coarse folders and hay
into gains. They can excel cattle in
this respect.
It requires o to IL pounds Of dry
matter to produce pound Of gain on
steers, according to Investigations.
Sheep on the same feed will make a
pound of gain on from to 8 pounds
Of dry matter.
It was found ut the Iowa station
that 1000 pounds of cattle on full feed
ate 1919 pounds Of dry matter a day
and gained 2.14 pounds; 1000 pounds

Purebred Mutton Ram.

Of sheep ate 20.7 pounds of dry mat
ter day and gained 1913 pounds in
weight. The sheep thus ate 4S per
cent more feed per 1000 pounds live
weight and made 70 per cent better
g,,ins than cattle. But this was not
all the advantage In feeding sheep !;
they will grow a fleece In addition
worth from 20 cents to $1.50 head.
Sheep are close grazers and will
thrive on short grass or destroy weeds
that cattle will not eat. They will
thrive better on short pasture than
either hogs or cattle and when given
richer feed will make better gains
than cattle.

MATE BREEDING soWs EARLY
Many Advantages Derived From Pigs
Farrowed In February or March
Best Prices In September.

There are many advantages in
breeding sows for early narrowing.
Pigs narrowed in February or early
March come at ut season when farm
ers can give them better care. BY the
time forage crops become available,
the pigs are of such size as to make
best use of them, and thus to attain
greater size for early fall market.
Hogs are usually highest In price
during September. Early-farrowed
pigs attain marketable size by that
time.
Late-farrowed pigs do not reach
market weight until December or jan
uary, when pork prices are usually the
lowest.

saw that Hagen had lost his shield
and said: Take mine, Hagen. Might

God reward thee, noble Rudeger 7"
answered Hagen. Then Rndeger rushed
at them. He struck Gernot q fatal
blow, but before the Rhine's prince
dropped he struck truly with the sharp
sword that Rudeger had given him
so that the loyal knight Of Bechlaren
died from his own loving gift.
They made sorry terms with each
other. The knights Of the Rhine were
few when the fighting was done; but
Of the knights of Rudeger there was
not one left.
Palaces and towers rang with the
woe Of the Huns. The brave Amelung

Giselher killed each other. They gave
each other grim death.
There were none left save Prince
Dietrich Of Berne and his man Hide
brand on one side, and Gunther the
king and his vassal Hagen on the
other.
These two were sorely spent. Die
trich grappled them and bound them.
So he bore them to Kriemhild.
"Most high queen" said the prince
of Berne, grieving, "there were never
nobler captives than these. Let the
homeless knights live for my sake"
She sent them to separate dungeons.
Then she went In to Hagen and said,
high and furious: "Tell me where the
Nibelung hoard Is, and We may both
win back alive to Burgundy"
Grim Hagen answered: ~ have
sworn that none shall have 1t while
my master Gunther lives.'
Kriemheld went In to her brother
and smOte Off his head. Bearing II
by the hair, she showed 1t to the knight
Of Irony.
"Now the secret is safe!" cried Ha
gen. "None knoweth OF the treasure
now save God and I. Thou shalt never
see 1t, devil that thou art"
Kriemhild drew Balmung, Siegfried's
