ilough grass or any thing that will
turn the rain. As the material packs
very close of itself and is very imper
vious to rain, it wiil keep well. An
other method described and illus
trated by the same writer combines
cheapness with the "self-feeder" Idea.
The crib is made of tlie slat fencing or
cribbing as used by the farmers in the
west when thi-ir crops are larger than
tin ir crib room. The slatting is made
usually in five and six-foot widths and
two ties put i. ;, making the combined
height from ten 1o 12 feet. A floor of
boards is put in ami the bottom tier
of slatting fastened to the supporting
posts five or six inches from the floor
boards, which should project two or
three feet outside the slatting. The
cattle will pick up clean ull the feed
they will pull out through the space
between the boards and slatting.
When no more can be remind by the
cattle, the space around the bottom
can be filled by the attendant of the
stock with nn iron rod sharpened and
bent into a hook at the end.
CHANGE IN MILKERS.
It Should lie Avoided, If Pnmlble,
It Affeeta the Cow'n Temper and
Milk Yield.
There is a great difference in the ef
fect that a change of milkers will have
upon different cows Some cows will
submit perfectly to milking by almost
every one who approaches them, but
no cow will milk equally well with all
persons. Some cows will dislike, or
fear, or battle nervously with three
out of five persons who try to milk
them. They will often refuse to yield
their milk to any other than the milk
er to whom they ore accustomed.
Owners of dairies cannot well over
look this preference of the cows for
certain miikers. It is a prtference
that is based on nerves, and neither
the cow nor the milker can'control it.
The cow in perfect nerve accord with
the attendant will show her feelings
by her actions. She will lay her head
against the one whom she likes. When
one whom she does not like approaches
her, she shows her dislike by stand
ing perfectly still, or by turning away
her head, or by moving away.
The Hollanders and the Jersey isl
anders, those masters of dairying, un
derstand this characteristic of their
cows, and they muke much of their
knowledge. They accustom their mag
nificent cows lo personal touch, to the
human presence, to the voice, to pet
ting and coddling and caressing. The
rpsitl.-! are seen in the perfect animals
they produce, the highest types of
quality and capacity known in the,
dairy world.
The dairyman should discover the
likes and dislikes of his cows as early
in their careers as possible. The milk
and butter fat they will produce will
depend largely upon the milkers he
sends to draw their milk. The point
is that the cow is n nerve machine.
She can do her best work only when
her nerves are in their normal condi
tion. The milker, whose presence or
ouch or voice throws her into agita
tion, or fear, or anger, will never be
able to Induce her to produce milk in
tlie largest quantity or of the best
quality. Therefore the l.igh-class cow
must Jiave a milker whom hr likes, or
he will fall short of her possibilil ii s.

Those who, crab for market on the
Choptunk river, Maryland, have an in
genious method of catching crabs in
quantities, says Country Life In Amer
ica. A rope about the thickness of a
tlothesline, several hundred fert long,
Is kept colled in. a keg. The closer
the cover the more pleasant the sail
with 1he fisherman to the crabbing
prounds, for at intervals of two feet
along the entire length of the rope he
has untwisted it and inserted between
the stands short pieces of salted eels.
The torsion of ihe stands holds them
t Ightly in plnce. Each end of the rope
has n keg buoy at toched, together W ith
a heavy stone. Arriving at the fa
vored place, usually on oyster beds,
he throws a keg overboard and pays
out his highly scented rope as he sails.
When the other end is reached he an-,
ehors it with another stone, and throws
out another buoy. After lowering his
sail he waits a few minutes, then
takes his stand on the bow of his boat.
Alongside of him is his landing net,
with a handle six feet long. He raises
the buoy and stone, and hand over
hand pulls his boat along the line.
When a crab, clinging to its refresh
ment, comes in sight he sies his net,
dashes it under the crab, and flings it
into the boat. The wary crab may
looRen his hold and dive for the bot
tom, bqt such is the fisherman's dex
terity that his net is swifter than the
crab. One seldom gets away. Several
hundreds of crabs are often taken at
each overhauling of the rope. When he
has caught all he wants, he packs them
in barrels and sells them to local deal
ers, who. ships them to tiinrket.
WHY THEY TATTOO.
Stranjre llellef of Women In the
Imilil.nii lnlnndM, Scar
irv (intnea.
In swvcral islands of the Indo-raeifio
region, snys Trof. Thilenius, who
has been closely studying the subject
for some mouths, the belief prevails
that persons who are tattooed have a
much better chance of getting safely
into the next world than those who are
not tattooed, says the New York Her
ald. As a typical example, he cites the
ease of the women In the Lnughlan ls
ands. a small group east e f the south
ern end of New (iuinea. These women
tattoo the greater part of their bodies
with angled designs, but never fail to
tattoo concentric circles on their legs.
They believe that between the
Lnughlan islands and the island of
Vatum, in the Trobriand group, to
which their souls should go, there is a
great snake oveT which they must pass.
The snake asks each soul for her tat
tooing, and the soul takes it off and
gives it to the snake, who covers iteelf
with it. The snake then becomes
broad and fiat, and the soul passes over
it as over a bridge.
If, however, the soul is not tattooed,
the snake shrinks, and the soul falls
into the sea and cannot reach the bles
sed sanctuary in Vatum. Moreover,
worse rl ill, these wretched souls are
straightway changed into fish.
This strange belief has prevailed in
the Lnughlan Islands for a long time,
and there is no evidence thatitisdying
out.
ACTIVE VOLCANO IN UTAH.
Small C miter Recently Discovered by
Froapectora In S14 Lake
Heulou.
What appears to be a partly active
volcano crater has just been discovered
Ly George ItcNenie and several other
prospectors, at a point about 20 miles
north of Moub and two miles east of
where Salt Wash crosses Salt valley,
'and about six miles south of llichard
son post otlice, reports the Suit Lake
Tribune.
On a high mesa the prospectors dis
covered steam or smoke rising some
distance from where they were and on
investigation found that it rose from
a hole in the solid sandstone formation.
The orifice is oblong, about three feet
in width and six feet long.
A strong current of w arm air carry
ing some vapor arises, but seems to
have little or no gaseous smell. The
sides of the hole arc very black and
sooty. A rock thrown in apparently
fnlls a long distance. The prospectors
working in that section will make f iir
, ther investigation.
This section lias been prospected
over for a number of years, and cuttle
und sheepmen have ridden over it for
the putt 25 years without discovering
the crater. The prospectors who vis
ited it. say they would n- have found
it but for seeing the steam arise, as it
la a place that would be unlikely to be
passed. It appears to be an old volcan
ic vent that has been lyingilorinant for
years and is jmt beginning to show
signs of activity.

man In New Jrrsry,
Chicago is obliged to import its meal j
worms from New Jersey.
The worm most valued from a com
mercial standpoint is tlie small, inch
nnd n half long specimen known as the i
meal worm, usunlly found In (lour mills
snd kindred places. It is sold at all
bird stores as n dessert or piece de re
sistance for tlie family canary or par
rot. The retnil price for mealworms
Is 35c rntftpcrhuiidrcd. nnd large quan
tities are sold, says the Chicago Trib
une. A man who sells a large number
of meal worms at his bird store In State
street each year says that the supply
used tocome from various mills around
Ihe country, the mill boys being tempt
ed by liberal rewards to put in their
noon hours prying around behind the
loose boards of the mill exh 'lining the
worms and sending (hem fo Chicago.
Hut now the dealer receive? nil his
supply from an old German down In
New Jersey, who runs a sort of meal
worm ranch. This man breeds the
worms and ships them when they are
fully grown and of proper we'ght and
color, lie has n building fixed up to
rest nible an old mill, full of . loose
boards and with flour and men! plenti
fully spiinkl around. The unsus
pectinT worms are led to believe that
they are boarding In a real mill until
such time as they are fat enough to
cause n canary bird's heort. to dilate
with joy. Then they ure ruthlessly
seized, packed into tins, and sent to
market.
AN ELECTRIC EYE-OPENER.
Novel Alarm Apparatus Tlhnt Has
lleen Invented by a South
ern Mini,
There is in Mobile a gentleman who
in the past has been in the habit of
oversleeping in the morning hours,
nnd ns his business requires thnt be
come down street early, it is essential
thnt he should awaken at a certain
hour. Time after time he came late
to his business, in spite of alarm clocks
and other appliances to pet his eyes
opened at the proper time. One morn
ing recently he entered the otlice on
time to the minute. The others in the
oliiee expressed greot surprise at this
unusual event, and asked the whyfore
of it, reports the Mobile L'egisier.
"I determined that this business of
sleeping when I t-hould be awake had
to stop, so I culled in an electrician
and lie- fixed me up n few things. I
have it. so arranged thnt at the hour
set a light flashes in my eyes. If this
is not successful, and I do not get up
and throw the switch, a mosquito bar
and the frnme falls on me. If I still
slumber nnd sleep a gong like the one
used on the patrol wagon goes off.
Should I fail to notice these things,
there is over my bed a bucket filled
with water, having n small nozzle at
tached, and a rachet releases a stop,
so that a stream of water is squirted
into my face. When I sleep through
all these it will be time to order my
sofrin."
