What was the mat- ter with him?” “Too fastidious. You never saw such a hound in your life. You know the play, of course. We tie a piece of meat in the folds of Eliza's frock and that's what draws the dogs after her when she runs across the blocks of ice. Well, what do you think this dog demanded?" “Can't imagine.” “Porterhouse beefsteak, sir, and with the tenderloin left in! Yes, sir. How's that?” And you couldnt fool him. He wouldn't chase Eliza a foot unless the meat was a choice cut. No, sir. And, by gum, sir, our company had to live on liver and bacon so that blamed dog could have his steak.

It is the seed that exhausts the land of plant food, A grass crop that is al- lowed to produce seed takes more from the soll in mineral matter than two crops cut for hay while the grass is young, DRILLING OF SEED VS. BROAD- CASTING. The drilling of seed is known to give better results than broadcasting. At Cornell University, when oats were broadcasted, the yleld was thirty- seven bushels per acre. On another plot the seed oats were drilied In with an ordinary hand-wheel drill, the rows fifteen Inches apart, and then worked with a wheel hoe between the rows. The result was sixty-one bushels per acre. Thix may seem to be too much labor, but as a large area can be worked with a wheel hoe In a day the xtra yleld gave a fair profit, THE USES OF FROST. Almost every schoolboy in country places knows that it needs a frost to ripen the chestnut burrs, and the shells of the shagbark and other hick- ory sets and the hazel nuts, The same is true of the butternut and the beechnut, not well known in our markets, but much liked by the boys who can find them. The value of these nuts for food Is scarcely as it should be. They rich In fat as cream, and most of them are better for being ed after the frost The far berry excellent as appreciated are almost as well dr has set them free which mal is of but about a week « days feed hat a a 1 vhole oats, scattered hens will best first food if given at all, Hest in it is In that the hens are Kept busy is no better way than hustle for grain of som and Farm siraw the for it. makes th w hile the work ooked mash 2) are when fed late the evening portant and there them Home have kind 0 PACKING COMB HONEY 3 TIONS The demand for comb neat and weight, ruther than the two-pound see tions that at In combs that have been used for hrood raising, or that contain pollen, the hon- ey is In small demand unless the price is made very low.

THE WISE MULE, A man who has had much experi ence with mules says that measured by the standard of human wisdom, the mule bas more intelligence, In- stinet, or whatever else you may choose to call It than the horse has ever shown, One of the best evidences of this Is to keep out of danger and at this game his muleship has the horse “beaten by a mile,” In the jargon of the race track.

Mrs. Harden, who is now visit ing with the family of Humane Agent Harry B.

They ate hay left over after feeding the stock and sought the shel. ter of the ranch buildings from the blizzard. Some of them became very tame. When spring came and all the rest went away Mrs Harden kept the baby antelope, which she had taken into the house and fed from a bottle. In a couple of years it became a strong, graceful animal, and it was as affection. ate as a dog. Whenever the door of the house was left open the antelope would tome in and lie down on the rug.
