Flamingoes in full plumage are most gorgeous birds, for their top feathers ' are almost scarlet, some of those on the wing are jet black and underneath some are white. A full-grown bird is often from live to six feet in height. When they are flying they stretch out their long necks and legs as far as possible, which makes them look very funny. This particular kind that you see here comes from the south of r RUDDY FLAMINGOES. France and Spain. They make a noise I very like geese. And they build themselves curious nests of mid and earth scraped logt ther | so as to form a small hillock with a hole on the top. Sometimes the hillock is as much as 23 or 24 inches high. In the countries where they are found they go about in flocks of 300 or 400 to gether. When they are feeding senti nel flamingoes stand at each end of the flock to give notice of any approach ing danger.- These sentinels don't at tempt to eat till the others have fin ished, but stand with necks erect and heads constantly turning, always keep ing a sharp lookout. When flying they form themselves into bands, each band evidently being under the command of a leader, and in i spite of their long necks and legs they are wonderfully graceful. Like lots of other long-legged birds, flamingoes love to stand on one leg and tuck the other up out of sight.—Phila : delphia Globe. Willic'N llinl Maimer*.

CAMERON COUNTY FRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1903. WESTERN FARM LIFE. It la Not Ahvn)< I'iensnni ninl th« Wives of Pioneers Are the Chief Sufferers. Many farmers' wives in the east hard ly realize the comfort that surrounds them, even in an old-fashioned house with few modern conveniences, as com pared with the privations encountered on some of the virgin prairies. It is true that communities build up rapidly In the great west, and the sod house of one generation soon gives way to the convenient modern dwelling of the next, but life is hard for every pioneer, and some of its greatest trials fall to the women. A witty woman once observed that her sympathies were not so much with the Pilgrim Fathers as with their wives; they endured a!l the hardships that the Pilgrim Fathers did, and the Pilgrim Fathers, too! In like manner, when we read of the courageous home ! steaders who fight drought and cloud bursts, grasshoppers and blizzards, until .Vi' >' i NEBRASKA SOD HOUSE, the virgin prairie is harnessed to its work of feeding the world, we think of lonely women, like the one who stands in front of that pitiful little sod house | in Nebraska, shown in the cut. Our friends tell us that a sod house or a dug- I out is often very comfortable, but the housekeeper has to renounce many things that she thought necessities in the tree-embowered home "back east." < We should like to visit awhile with that Nebraska housewife, who stands up so courageously by her front door; we have no doubt she has met many house keeping problems, and bravely sur mounted them, and we hope the rich sod beneath her feet will produce among its other crops a modern farmhouse that will make up for all the privations she J may first pass through.—Rural New Yorker. CUTTING AND FEEDING CORN. Hon n Farmer C"i*n Ohtnin Full Ilcut lit of Ills Crop K.\ pin i n t*(l liy an AKricnlturiMf. No farmer receives the full benefit from his crop unless he feeds both the fodder and grain, writes Kred H. Suhre, in Orange Judd Farmer. The best plan is to purchase a corn binder and cut the crop with it. My experience proves :hat it is cheaper than to have it cut by hand. One man with a machine can cut six to eight acres a day, and two men can shock it. Com cut this way and bound in bundles is easier handled, whether hauled to a shredder or husked by hand. I have a feed cutter and a four-horse sweep power, with which I used to cut my fodder, but I found that I can have this work done cheaper and better with a combined husker and shredder. My cattle waste less shredded fodder than they do good clover hay. I never plan to fatten my cattle on grain, but intend to feed enough to keep them in good growing condition, so they will fatten readily when turned on grass. I live three miles from a mill where I can have my corn ground on a corn and cob grinder for seven cents per 100 pounds. This mill will grind about 30 bushels an hour, therefore I never have to wait very long when getting a load of corn ground. This is much cheaper for e than to have a mill of my own, for 1 think that to do a good job of grind ing power should be had from e. steam or gasoline engine, the cost of which is too much for me, as I seldom have over 35 cattle, old and young. Every Intelligent farnu r knows it pays to feed some grain to cattle in winter, but about the first of January, when the corn gets hard and dry, some of nty cows will not eat It on cob, there fore I must have It ground. I believe If It Is ground with the cob It Is more easily digested than corn meal. Cattle not being fed heavily, rat their grain rapidly. If com Is fed on the cob, I think enough Is wasted to more titan pay for grinding. NOTES ON THE MULE.
