An filrphant's Turkish Until Coaxing n Tiger to F.at Thn KnrnRwl lloa Constrictor A Narrow K'nrw. i "tn tho past fifteen renin, " rcmitrkpd Iho Superintendent of the Central Turk Mennjjerie to n New York Mar reporter, "I lmve treated nlmost every spprica of nnininl known to the civilized world, mid in many yenrs past I have performed au topsies upon most of the patients that have died under my treatment. What arc the most prevalent diseases? That would he had lo deride. Kvcry disease that a man can have a monkey can have, but with the latter lung troubles are more common than any other malady. The late Mr. Crowley, for instance, died from n combination of disorder that were distinctly human in their scope. He had consumption, a liver complaint, brought on by injudicious fcrding dur ing one of his periods of convalescence, and n brain trouble, that would have caused insanity in time. His vitality was something marvelous. Just fancy, nil his antics were done with only the half of one, lunst in his chest."' 'Which nrc the most difficult animals to treat?" "Monkey You see, they are strong for their size, and wheu they art- cornered they make a vicious fight; and they must always be caught before they can be treated. The monkey always smells his food before he takes a mouthful, and what he doesn't like he will not eat. Therefore he must have his medicine poured down his throat by force. How is it done? An attendant goes into the cage with a bag fastened to a ring at the end of x pole, like a li.'h dip net. lie corners the sick monkey and. throws the bag over his head; then there is a twist of the hand, a few squeaks are heard from the interior of the net, and the cap ture is made. . It then takes two men to make the brute open his mouth. His hands and feet must be held and the jaws forced apart. It is hard work, I assure you. I have spent' a whole morn ing, many a time, making a valuable monkey take its medicine, and it is a job I never yearn for." "How about sick tiger;" "Lions, tigers, panthers, leopards iu fact, all an i muls of the cat family arc easily treated. They are ravenous eaters, and take medicine with their food with out a second's hesitation. When a tiger refuses to eat his regular food we have to tempt his appetite. This is seldom hard to do. A tiger will generally eat live food. We saturate a pigeon or a rabbit with the medicine and throw it loose in the cage. If the brute is too sick to kill his food, we cut the throat of the victim, after first introducing the medi cine into the blood. A tiger will always drink warm blood. We seldom have much difficulty with these animals. The adults, as a rule, cither die of lung troubles, brought on by colds, or of en largement of the liver from want of suf ficient exercise, or of old age. The last is the most prevalent cause of death. 'Young lions and tigers born in captivity are' frequently troubled w ith "ricketts," caused by the lack of lime in their bones. "The only time we have trouble with n sick lion," continued the doctor, "is when we are forced to peform a surgical , operation. The royal beast must first be chloroformed. To do this we fasten a large sponge soaked in the drug to the end of stout pole, and shove this be tween the bars of the cage. This mSkes the lion furious, and he snaps, growls and claws at the intruder. But every times he bites or strikes the sponge he inhales the fluid, and iu about ten min utes he is generally sleeping like a baby." "Did you ever treat an elephant i'' "Often. As a rule, elephants are par ticularly docile when they are sick. They have sense enough to appreciate what is being done for them, and they often sup plement the efforts of their keepers. Several years ago I had a particularly sick elephant on my hands. 'Tom' was his name, and he had a heavy cold and was threatened with pneumonia. I was se riously alarmed. Elephants are expen sive luxuries, and I didn't want to lose him. I took his two keepers and two other attendants with me into the ele phant house. We built a rousing fire in the stove and put two wash boilers on top. In these we kept soukiug heavy blankets. We let them boil almost, and then spread them over Tom's back. It was as good us a Turkish bath. Before this we gave him nearly two gallous of whisky in one drink. Did ho like the whisky? He did. Did he get tipsy t He did not, but he felt happy und playful, and the treatment pulled hira through safely. I don't know whether he had a headache the next morning or" not. If he did, he probably did not know what caused it. ' Bears, wolves, kangaroos and camel generally die from lung troubles. I have told you of the difficulty in treating a camel. The fame is the case in doctor ing kangaroos and ostriches. Bears and wolves arc greedy feeders,and are treated, as a rule, without much trouble." "Did you ever attend a sick hippo potamus "Only once. Miss Murphy, our female specimen, hud a stomach disorder once. I walked to the burs' of her cage and held up my hand as if I were going to give her something to eat. She opened her mouth so wide that I could almost see the seat of her complaint. I dropped the powder down the cavity and the tusk was ended. We have been very fortunate with Miss Murphy and Caliph, her mate. The former has been here about four years and has been extraordinary healthy. ' The Philadelphia guldens have lost three sH'cimeub, and the oldest only lived three years iu confinement. In 'London they have been known to live years after their capture. They usually die of fatty degeneration, caused by overeating ami lack of exercise. When it once develops there is no cure for it." "What are the strangest cases of sick ness you have ever treated!" "I think a sick loa constrictor was about the oddest ami most unpleasant case 1 ever had. it had a sore mouth and corfidu't eat. We got the reptile into u box and pulled its head out through a hole iu the lid by wrapping a piece of carpet around its neck. Then by press ing the head at the angles of the jaws we forcct them apart ami rubbed the gums with ointment. The creature was one of the.largest I ever saw. It as very strong, vicious and exceedingly active. 1 never saw such teeth and jaws on a snake either la-fore or since, and I came pretty near having good cause to remember tllcm for Ihe lest of my life. One of the attend ants let his side of the head slip just as 1 was finishing my pint of the work, mid the monster closed its teeth on my hand, like the jaws of a" steel trap, with a click. One tooth went through tlm'fleshy part of the palm, making about awugly and pain ful a wound as I ever hni. Not satisfied with this, the snake took advantage of the fright of the attcndantsmntl slid about ten feet of its powerful lengfji-out of tho box and on to the floor. If I had not dropped my bottles and forgottenwny pain in encouraging and helping ' my'helpcrs; there would have been serious trouble." SKLKCT MFTINUS.

"There's a genuine Mexicau scrape," und the tawny-mustached ex-Congressman from the Bio Grande shook out, as he spoke, the crimson and blue and gold embroidered folds oi one of those unique frontier blankets of which nearly every body has read and which so few New Yorkers ever saw. It was a present to Colonel Ochiltree from a Mexican lady who had spent three years in beautifying the glowing expanse of finely woven w ool and silk with her own needle. A scrape such as that is about four feet wide ami seven feet long, the delicate threads of gold and stripes of royal purple and crim son which run through its scarlet expanse meeting in the centre nnd at regular in tervals iu picturesque designs of quaint configuration and tasteful arrangement. The stuff itself, as it leaves the Mexicau loom, is not as soft as silk nor as light, but it is a thing of beauiy nnd a delight both to the sight and the touch. The materials and the dyes are all native Mexi can products. Worn over her head, the senurita peeps through the folds of the scrape iu a bewitching way and finds them euhaucing her good looks, while the senor, with his swarthy face and neck half buried in the same folds, and wear ing it as a cloak rather thau as a hood uud shawl combined, shows the sernpe to be equally picturesque as a masculine gar ment. .Yur York World.

Tho roots extend long distances from tree trunks and hence it is absurd, as some growers do, to pile most of tho manure against tho truuk. Spread it evenly on tho surface or work it in tho soil. Tho same rulo applies to small fruits. The roots tiavel long distances, even though in many cases they nrc almost invisible. Ac hi York Herald. BKCITMNO OOOD BKKD OATS. The prico of oats is now very low, but in most cases they bring proportiouably nil they nro worth as compared with other feed. Never before were there so many poor light oats, or oats that had been injured in curing, as this season. There is likely to be difficulty next sea son in getting good seed oats, nnd it is well to sccuro ontfl flint arc full weight nnd not musty for seed. At the best oats in our climate tend to run out, on account of hot, dry summers, and if poor seed be sown the deterioration is more rapid. It may pay seedsmen this year to procure oats from Nova Scotia or some oilier portion of Canada, provided they are there exempt from the failure that attaches to most oats grown in the States. American Vultitatov, COLT TRAINING WITH OLD TEAM. From the first, in all breakings, the colt should be with a steady old horse until it has become used to the bit and tritrtuble, or, which is better, if possible, driven between two team horses. Years ago, says J. H. Andre in the New York Tribune, I used to take a colt to pasture in tho evening with tho team, and it was returned to the stable in tho morning w hen the team was brought in. It was n nervous, self-willed animal, nnd hnd the appearance of being a hard one to break to rido under ordinary circum stances. When old enough to ride the bridle was put ou. It was led out of tho stable and placed between the team horses and close together. I mounted its back without saying a word. All were started for the pasture together, and the colt was easily broken without nny trou ble or using extra time. A frisky colt will pay scarcely any attention to any thing if driven with a steady old horse; whereas if alone, under the same circum stances, it might take a fright not easy to forget. POn EOOS IX WIXTKR. "To get many eggs in winter one must give the hens some care aud attention nud furnish them with warm nnd com fortable quarters. The pullets that were hatched early and the yearlings of lust spring will be the best layers. After fowls pass their second year as a general thing they are not profitable as layers. Better kill them off than to keep old fowls. It is also a good thing to change, cither by buying or exchanging eggs i'or a setting, or by introducing some good fowls from a neighbor's flock. To in duce laying give plenty of meat scraps und some green food. See that they have gravel and plenty of pure water, nud while they may run out freely dur ing pleasant days be careful nnd keep them housed up in cold, stormy weather. Don't allow them to run out on tho snow or in rain-storms. They must be kept out of windy weather and cold draughts if they are to lay eggs in the winter months. If they can be allowed to run in the animal stables in tho daytime it will increase the egg-production, nnd a roosting-place where they get some warmth from the stabled animals, wher ever it is all practicable, will have a good effect on their living. They want a suf ficiency of food of a mixed character, mostly hard grains of different kinds, but not so much as to make them fat." Ntw York World. t'TlLIZINa rt'MPKIKS. Pumpkins are a valuable and nutritious food for cows, if they arc only rightly spread before them. The orthodox way of feeding them is to draw a wagon-load into the pasture, nnd scatter them pro miscuously about in a parti illy crushed condition, for the cows to fight and choke over. It always pays to feed intelligently, and wo might add, humanely, nnd we append a way of offering pumpkins to cows that we believe to be more efficacious than the manner described. Gather only ripe, sound pumpkins j the green and decayed ones discard ; knock off tho hard steins and handle with a pitch or dung-fork. Near tho pasture fence build a plank bottomed pen, or a large, shallow dry goods box would do, aud into this dump a part of a load of selected pumpkins. Now, go into them with a sharp spade, and chop them quite finely. Most of tho entrails and seeds will slough and rattle off, and the meaty blocks of the fruit, shovel over the fence into a long station ary trough, for the cattle to partake of at leisure. Hoots, such as mangels nnd rutabagas, can advantageously be served the same way, aud if fed iu winter, your chop ping box can be pluced in the cellar or stable. The seeds of pumpkins act too vigor ously on the kidneys to be beneficial to cows, hence caro should bo taken that they be excluded from their menu. At this time of the year it is the en deavor of dairymen not so much to in crease their milk flow as to maintain its previous quality. Meadows are annually leached, through their depiction of after math, for this, when some substitute should be provided. Our experience with pumpkins as a cheaply produced food has been satisfactorily iu the ex treme, and we recommend their more exleusive cultivation. Those varieties of the fruit that yield most prolifiely, ami produce the firmest, sweetest incutcd pumpkins, are the ones to plant. If planted iu a field separate from com they do fur better than when shaded by the maize. Duirymen, do not despise the pump kin because it is ubiquitous. Cultivate it well und feed it intelligently, and you w ill be satisfied with the result". Prairie farmer, CIIEKN MANC1U.NO. Tho necessity for restoring some of tho fertilty to our soils which ire cropped each year is apparent even to the most casual thinker. If the soil is Dot to be absolutely impoverished, there must be a returning to as well us a tak ing from it of the elements of fertility. This is a self-evident truth, aud requires no proof or illustration to muke its estab lishment complete. Green crop feeding is tho most uatural, most feasible and most ecouomicul method by which to re turn the plant food that is takeu from jur fields by continual cropping. Btirn- yard manure will always, of course, t main tho farmer's chief reliance for en riching this land, but green manorial crops will be found to be a valuable ami inexpensive adjunct to this. Their effects upon the soil arc remarka ble, their vegetable or organic matter rendering it nt once friable, active and fruitful. Tho green crops most profita ble to bo employed for this purpose are thoso denominated "air-feeders," those possessed of tho power to absorb the ele ments of organic lifo from tho air, such as clover, buckwheat, rye, peas, benns, etc. Clover undoubtedly stands nt tho head of tho list. It contains a largo pro portion of potash, lime, magnesia, nitro gen, chlorine, nnd carbonic, phosporic and sulphuric ncid. Its great value as a manorial plant lies in tho fact that its leaves nnd stems absorb tho largest part of its fertilizing gasses from tho air, and take only a comparatively small portion from tho soil. It is n voracious "nir f coder. " Moreover, its long, thick roots draw the fertilr.ing saline and mineral elements of the sub-soil tip into the sur faco soil, and render them available as plant food. It is a cheap and most avail able agent to supply soils with necessary nitrogen, which has been well denomi nated one of the "scarcest and dearest of mauuriul elements." Buckwheat is also a valuaMo manurial green crop. It is a rapid and hardy grower, and can bo successfully grown on the same plot year after year, without materially exhausting tho soil. Two crops of it can be grown and plowed under on the same ground in one season, nnd tho ground seeded down with grass or a grain crop in September. It should be grown far more extensively than it is, its grain making a complete poultry food, while its cultivation is strongly recom mended ns an cradicntor of Canada this tles, witchgrass and other foul and ob noxious weeds. It nlso has a high hy gienic value ns a purifier of tho air, tak ing up tho effluvia and miasma rising in the air from foul sink spouts nud other slovenly spots abort the farm or out buildings. Let us rs iso more buckwheat. The seed costs bit little; it will grow upon any kind of land, from drifting sand to impact cla ; it gives a good crop ; its straw contains considerable quantities of potash, soda, lime, magnesia, phos phoric and sulphuric acid, and when plowed under it decomposes rapidly, loosens the soil and makes a first-class manure. The pea is of great value as a manur ial crop, even after tho fruit has been gathered and the vines nro fully ripened. They contaiu a very largo proportion of potash, lime, magnesia, soda, carbonic acid and chloride of sodium, besides sul phuric and phosphoric ncid ; aud when plowed under, it puts'the soil in tho best possible condition for other crops, es pecially wheat and grass. Bye is also a most valuable manurial crop, but on tho score of economy is not so profitably used for this purpose, its grain being too valuable to bo economi cally sacrificed as manure. Europeau agriculturists nlso employ turnips, corn, vetch and mustard as grccu mauuriul crops, the turnip being rated ns the best, as it grows in tho cool nnd moist climate of England to the greatest perfection. But this, like tho vetch, is a precarious plant in the hotter and dryer climate of New England. The proper timo to plow down green crops, to renovate tho soil, is iu the warm weather of summer, when they are just coming into flower. They then take on a quick decay from their miniatured condition when tho sun 1ms its greatest power to aid iu tho process of fermentation and decay. Let our farmers try tho practice of green manur ing, and tho results achieved will be sure to induce them to continue it as a set tled policy in their furm operations. American Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Cohl stables may bo cheaply made warmer by lining them with building paper. An excited horse is like an excited child. We have seen a child scolded and "jawed" until it could not comprehend what was wanted of it. An eminent authority has said that grasses are social iu character that they thrive best where they have close neigh bors of different varieties. Plants should not be watered with very cold water. It should stand in the suu and become as warm as the atmosphere iu summer before being applied. The old idea that young cattle aud colts must winter at straw stacks iu open fields to make them tough happily has gone, much to the comfort of the young animals. If we might turn to profit all the loss suffered by American farming by weeds farmers could well nllord to pay all the taxes, reserving to themselves the blessed privilege of unlimited grumbling as a partial compensation. A farmer who is content to plow year after year fields so much obstructed by stones that his work is seriously retarded is too patient for this world, and might have higher rank if he would remove the obstruction ai:d so prove his growth in grace. Spring calves if not well fed in autumn hove growth checked, aud, as a conse quence, cost of winter keeping increased with certainty that favorable returns in sales, if to be made the next year, will be disappointing, unsatisfactory aud profit less. A farmer labors hard, early, late, per sistently. lie gives little time to mental culture; to silent communings that ele vate the spiritual nature still less. In old age he has wordly wealth, with men tal and spiritual poverty. This is not the best success. 1 he man who overstocks the capacity of Ins farm to well feed the uuimuts 1 puts upon it, and then does uot buy best manure-producing food to give ull his uuiinals plenty to eat, will not make money. The animal that is neither grow ing, or making a product to sell while it eats, is kept at a loss. Potatoes must be kept iu the dark. The whitest, choicest potutoes will be injured in a short time iu uuy cellar where one can see to walk arouud. They will look yellowish when cooked, and their film quality is gone. If you cannot make one room of your cellar absolutely dark, see that your home supply is kept iu tight boxes or barrels and well covered. Heaps of coarse manure may be re duced quickly to good couditiou for use by liberal applications of quicklime. It will naturally bo accompanied by great losses of ammonia, if the heaps (ire not covered with dry earth. If this is done, no harm will result, provided the lime and manure heaps are where their decom position will not set fire to farm buildings. Economical 1'se of Inaugural Sonypnlrs.

Mr. Hubbard said ho wns aroused some timo in tho night by a noise in his orchard, nnd when he looked out ho saw a bear shaking apples from his best pound sweet trot. Tho treo stood on a steep hillside, nnd the big apples rolled down ngninst tho fciico as fast ns the bear shook them off. As soon as tho bear had shaken off all the fruit ho wanted,' he slid down tho tree, waddled to tho fence nnd began to devour the apples greedily. Then Mr. Hubbard pulled on his trousers nnd boots, loaded his rifle,' climbed out of tho window nnd stolo nlong to'ft spot where he could get ft good shot at the thief. He said that he let tho bear take a pretty big jag of apples be fore he fired, and then ho blazed away nnd sent a bullet into tho bear's head,' just below his left enr.
