Dear Bunch: So now you're at Monte Carlo, eh? : Gee! yvou and Alice must be having the time of your lives hiking over Europe, handing out good money to hotel clerks and bad French to hotel waiters all day long. ) Oh, what bliss, what joy must be vour portion, Bunch, when you Squeeze into one of those French cafes, grab a French menu card, glance over the “ready-to-serves,” and in a confidential - tone give an order like this to your French waiter: “Avec le beaucoup pomme de terre. Donnez-moi de 'eau chaude; je vais me raser.

Now don't wrinkle the map when vou read this, Bunch, because I've been present when you blurted out some of vour French with the ossified accent and it's a scream all right. Remember that day in Martin’s here in littleoldnewyork when you ordered lamb chops and. a baked potato in French? The waiter bowed, said, “Oui, M’'sieu!” and brought you a bowl of vegetable soup and a morning paper! ' . That's how good your French is, my lad. - - It’s almost as bad as Fred Perry's—and that's going some. I met Fred and Henri Leoni at the Bingle club not long ago, and they put .t all over me. : With Henri speaking almost-French and Fred gesticulating nearly-French there wasn't anything left for me to do but call the waiter and talk booze. I found out later that Fred knows exactly nine ordinary French words, including n’cest pas and avec plaisir, but ‘He has memorized the name of every street in Paris. So when Fred exhausts his nine ordinary words he rushes all over the city, out to Vaugirard, over to the Batignolles, to Clichy, by Rues and side streets to the eastern Boulevards Beaumarchais and St. Denis, then across lots to ‘the western Boulevard des Italiens, then with a hop, skip and jump, he’s in the Place de la Concorde and off into the Champs-Elysees—it’s immense! : Fred can sit there and rattle off the names of the streets in Paris so eloquently that the average listener begins to cuss himself inwardly because he didn’t learn French enough to follow the Guy de Maupassant story which he thinks Fred is telling.

Vo Uncle Gregory is a charter member in Zero lodge of the Companions of the Cold Feet. Uncle Gregory never sat in a game in his life without being prepared to have pneumonia in both heels the moment he was six dollars ahead of the game. . " He plays them close to his appendicitis, unkie does, and every time he fills a four-flush he feels an awful draught on the floor. He has his feet so well trained that every time their owner rakes in a pot with four blue checks in it they give him the icehouse signal to cease firing-and cash in before the bank explodes. ) We had a little poker party at our house last Monday night, and for several days after we bought costly trifies with the money left by our loving neighbors. _ ‘ Thee was Uncle Gregory and Aunt Julia, George Riggaby and his wife, Maude, George's mother-in-law,” Mrs. Lorrenz, Peaches and yours respectfully. iy Uncle Peter and Aunt Martha don’t play poker, so they went out in the other room and played the phonograph. . : I think the phonograph won, because they are both easy. George Riggaby is a member in good standing of the Little Brothers of the Boost, and he can laugh louder and mean it when he loses three dollarg than any man I ever met. ' But George’s wife, Maude, takes two aces and a pair of jacks seriously,

One of the most important things In connection with the production of clean milk is that of a clean barn. Without it, absolutely pure milk cannot be produced. Time was when any old place was considered good enough for the cow, and the cow barn was synonymous with filth and foul smell. Nowadays, however, farmers are coming more and more to realize that successful dairying cannot be carried on without paying due attention to sanitary stable conditions. Light, ventilation, cleanliness are all matters that must be given consideration if the cows are to be kept healthy and the milk product is not contaminated before it can be removed from the stable. An ideal barn for cows is a onestory structure of wood with plenty of light and provided with the King system of ventilation.. The floor, wall and manger should be of cement; the ceiling may well be of lath and plaster, and swing stanchions should Dbe used for ties. : In a building of such constructfon it was found that the cement floor was too hard for the cows to stand on and was the cause of various troubles, such as garget, etc.; consequently it

By Director H. J. Waters, Missouri Experiment Statiom.| - In general the age of tl,xe animal will affect materially the kind, quality and amount of feed that may profitably be used in wintering. In other words, the age will determine largely whether they are. to be fed liberally on palatable and nutritious feeds, or to‘ be roughed through on coarse fodders of the cheapest sort. Young cattle will require the former class.of feeds in more liberal quantities, while the older cattle will be able to utilize to advantage the poorer and coarser grades. This is principally true becauyse it is more important to keep the animals gaining steadily at the age of 6 to 18 months than later.

Checking the rate of gain after 24 months of age, when the rate of growth has naturally declined, and when the tendency of the animal to lay on fat begins to assert itself, will make much less difference than if it be checked in the earlier stages when the tendency to grow and not to fatten is much more marked. It is believed that to make growth at the natural or proper time, that is, when the animal is young, and when the tendencies of the entire organism are to convert: food into growith, and when it may be. made with the least expense of food, room, labor and investment, will be highly advantageous as compared with so feeding the animal as to restrict the growth at this age and depend upon ‘making up this deficiency by liberal feeding later. o In fact, it is believed that from birth until the steer goes to. grass at the age of 12 months, there should be sufficient food of a palatable and nutritious character ¥ supply the requirements of the maximum growth of which each individual is capakle, without laying on any considerable quantity of fat. This is, of course, on the supposition that they are not to be fed out as baby beef. In case they are. to be made into baby beef, naturally the quicker they are made fat, the greater the profit in the feeding. The first winter, between the ages of 6 and: 12 months, is not the time to attempt to utilize cheap, coarse fodders extensively, like stover, etc. These materials should be used chiefly on older cattle. It goes without saying that from 12 to 18 months of age the -cattle should receive an abundance of nutritious grass, so as to promote a uniform and rapid growth or to approximate the full capacity of the animal for growth and to lay on as much fat as possible, for gains at pasture are cheap, and all the fat it is possible to make here will be made at the very minimum of expense. . As to the winter treatment from the ages of 18 to 24 months, all will depend upon what the immediate future of animal is to be. If it is to be grazed the following summer as a,two-year-old, it should be made to utilize the cheap fodders on the farm, eat out the stalk fields, etc. In any case, it should not be permitted to lose in liberally, so long as it does not lay on. .

was later covered with two-inch matched pine flooring, which gave better results. : : - In building again we would substitute panel floors for stalls, as shown in an illustration. Two pieces 4x4 inches by 3 feet are laid in the concrete, and a panel three feet wide made of 2x6-inch matched plank nailed .to them. The panel projects over the gutter about one inch. A space of six inches is left between panels which is cemented level with the top of the plank. | This admits of taking up a panel and puttinz] in a new one without disturbing the rest of the floor. In putting down a floor in a new barn, or in replacing an old floor, it is recommended that tar be used in the joints and on the lower surface of the floor. In the construction of a barn intended for the production of certified milk care should be taken to have as few posts as possible, and peferably no cross beams or braces should be exposed. The interior should be smooth with no place for the lodgment of dust. : With the construction of such character that a barn may be kept clean, it only remains to use energy, water, and washing powder.

has already been pointed out, gains made on anything less than full feed are made at a cost that increases directly as the quantity of food is decreased. L Second, fat on an animal affects its ability to make rapid and economical gains the following summer at grass, as has been clearly shown by our results where cattle had been made to gain different amounts in winter and were grazed together the following summer,

How to Combat Pest—By H. As ; Gossard, Ohio. Practically the whole of Ohio, except 15 or 20 of the northeastern counties, has suffered more or less seriously from the wheat jointworm, the past season. The loss to the state’ as a whole has been in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 percent. of thé crop. Many townships report a .damage of 50 to 60 per cent. In some neighborhoods parasites are making fine headway, and may save next season’s crop from perceptible damage. Insects escaping between harvest time and winter through small round holes cut in the walls of the straw are parasites and not the adults of the jointworm. These parasites are two-brooded and, if numerous, will clean the stubble fields of jointworm larvae before the opening of next season. The straw from other localities produces but few parasites or none. i

The adults of the jointworm appear in late May or early June and seem to prefer to lay their eggs just above ‘the- highest joints available .at the time of their appearance, provided these stalks are not so near to heading as to preclude the possibility ef larvae within them from maturing before the ripening of the grain. In the latter case, younger or more back-. ward stalks seem to be hunted out and the nearly matured straws are passed by. If only one or two joints need to form above the worms before heading, the kernels will have time to fill and harden before the sap flow ceases, while if three or four must form the kernels will be small, shriveled and light. The wheat grower ‘'should therefore keep these points well in mind when plapning for next year’s crop: g 1. Sow from one week to ten days earlier than lis customary in your neighborhood. Other things being equal, in every instance of which we have knowledge, the early sown wheat was much better the past season, in badly infested territory, than that which was late sown. et 2. Have the seed bed worked into the best possible condition before seeding. : e 3. Sow an early maturing variety. 4, Fertilize well with commercial fertilizer, barnyard manure, or better with both. A formula containing three or four per cent. of ammonia, 8 to 10 per cent. of phospohric acid, and two to three per cent. of potash is suggested as suited to'wheat on the average farm. Apply at the rate of 200 to 300 pounds per acre. Wheat ‘on poor: soil suffers in the same man‘same reason, -g»‘mwmm ing and gives the worms too long & ‘%%w R BRI T

New York.—'l‘ge Fort Lee Revolutionary Monument association gained fts desired end the other day when the monument erected to commemorate the important events which took place near Fort Lee in the war of 1776 was unveiled. The association was organized October 22, 1902, and in the winter of 1902-03, through its efforts, an appropriation was obtained from the legislature of $l,OOO as the nucleus of a fund for a monument, To this amount the legislature added at the following session $5,000. : Steps haff” been taken by the association to obtain the only suitable site, which was in the outer works of the old fortifications, and after three years a title to this property was gained through condemnation proceedings. A competition for a suitable design was held in October, 1906, in which many sculptors entered. The design offered by Carl E. Tefft of New York, who designed the fountain in the Bronx Zoological park, New York, was chosen by the association, and later approved by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, which commission was made custodian of the funds. L : The design represents two of Gen. Washington’s soldiers, a continental and a drummer boy, scaling the Palisades at Fort Lee. The figures are cast in bronze, and are seven and onehalf feet high, mounted on a pedestal ten feet in height, quarried from the native trap rock of the Palisades. The statue is erected on a three-foot terrace, bringing the total helgh!: to about o

20 feet. Elaborate plans were made by the association for the exercises which marked the formal recognition by the state of New Jersey of this historical landmark. On behalf of the state, the principal address was made by Gov. Fort. Other prominent persons, representing the national government, the state of New York and all the principal revolutionary societies, took part in the ceremonies. The monument is ;in a park, and stands on a point where the original outer works of the old fort were situated. The monument will also mark what is said to be the original camp occupied by Gen. Lee as his headquarters and the site where ‘Morgan’s Virginia rifiemen were encamped. The fort played an important part in the movements of the revolutionary army, but no battle of importance was fought there. Many persons believe that the old fort and camp at Fort Lee were on the Palisades bluyff, overlooking the Hudson river, but this is not the fact. The monument cannot be seen from the Hudson river. It was to guard a ravine leading up the Palisades that the fort was erected, and it was situated inland for strategical reasons. Fort Lee is full of traditional revolutionary history. The ruins of the stone huts which were used by Morgan’s men in their stay at Fort Lee are still to be seen, and the Fort Lee association will take steps to preserve them. In these huts the hardy and determined patriots, with constitutions that defied weather and hardships, slept in the cold nights of October and November, 1776. Another reminder of the period is the old stone bake oven found on the premises of the Belvidere hotel, and which for years has been properly labeled and protected. ‘lt was in this stone oven that bread for the revolutionary soldiers was baked. ‘ Fort Lee has one tradition handed down from the revolution that has always afforded food for discussion. It is-relative to Dead Brook and how the little stream received such a name. One story is that a Hessian soldier was shot by a scout while crossing the brook. Another authority says that the scout, after climbing the Palisades, stopped to take a drink at the brook, and not relishing it went further up to ascertain the cause of the unusual taste of the water. He discovered a Hessian bathing his feet in the stream and shot him. Another story is that a bloody battle was fought along the brook, and because of the presence of so many dead soldiers alongside the tiny stream the name of Dead Brook was applied. v e ;

Within the last few years I have enjoyed any amount of experience in bear hunting, mainly throughout Finnish and Russian Karelen, where I have accounted for over a score or more .of these fascinating beasts. My hunting in Finland and Russia has always been in winter time. The most pleasurable hunting trip that I can recall was one carried out on ski. The starting-point for this, as for most of my expeditions, was the little village of Snojarvi, situated on the lake of the same name, 14 Swedish (84 English) miles to the east of 'Wartsila, in Finnish Karelen. At -dawn we left the village and traversed the greater part of the distance in sledges. Then on ski we came to a dense thicket wherein our bear was surmised to have stowed himself away for his long winter’s nap. ‘lt had been ascertained that he had taken up his quarters on ‘“Bratt” (i. e., above ground, on a bed made of moss and twigs with the trunk of a fallen tree to roof him). Capt. Bjorkenstam and I volunteered to make our way into the dense brushwood and have a look round. I was a few yards ahead of my friend, when my eye was arrested by the sight of some dark objeet protruding from beneath the shadow of a pine. I grasped the fact with some tumultuous thumping of the heart—for I was serving my novitiate—that there snuggled, unaware and unsuspecting, the object of our call. I halted; our vigsit was unexpected, unprepared for, and the gentle soul might shyly decamp. Hastily I took aim and fired.. My bear as hastily vanished, melting away with phantasmal precipitancy into space. I ran to the charmed spot where he had lain and searched eagerly for gory traces that might show my bullet had not been misspent. No trace was visible, but a plowed furrow through the snow indicated the direction he had taken. The long fur of his coat had been my undoing and my bullet had flown too high. I followed hotly in pursuit with Broberg at my heels, and a memorably exciting race followed. At last, on a more sparsely wooded tract, where we' could increase our speed considerably, we sighted the broad back of the runaway some yards ahead. of us. A grand spectacle he presented, this great black furry object, floundering with heavy tread through the pure white snow, against the vast shadowy background of stately pines in their wintry dress. I opened fire; ‘the beast growled savagely, shook: himself painfully, yet doggedly proceeded on his course of retreat; then my second bullet laid him prone. His chase had lasted just three-quarters of an hour. :

Another bear had lodged himself for the winter in a cave made by himself in the bowels of mother earth and under cover of a huge prostrate pine. After locating him, I gave my féresters the order to halt, and proceeded alone. Advancing cautiously, so as not to disturb his slumbers, I hesitated some moments over the fallen tree trunk, for round and about its roots I noticed the snow was discolored and of a brownish hue. I guessed this to be the ventilator and the entrance to the den. I announced my coming by repeated shouts, but its occupant made no sign. I thereupon called one of my men and bade him fell a young tree, and use it as a stake to stir up the sluggard. A formidable roar was the immediate result of these tactics; out rushed the landlord of the besieged premises with an

expression of countenance that spoke of hospitable intentions of the warmést description. I judged fit not to await this welcome, and he straightened out on his own doorstep with a bullet through his brain. ; In Karelen the bear is yet regarded as a noxious horror. The great blackhaired “Slagbjorn,” or killing bear, is still rampant there, and a couple of winters back I was able to wreak justifiable vengeance on some beasts that had killed over a score of cows and nine horses. News had been brought me that some of these rascals were hibernating on a small marshbound island. We found no difficulty in locating their lair, and I took up my post at the entrance to it, armed only with my spear. I may explain that a bear-spear consists of an ash staff some two yards long and about a couple "of inches in diameter; there is a blade of steel about 12 inches in length, and the shaft is copper cased as a prevention against the teeth of Bruin. As soon as my gentleman appeared I tried to stick him in the throat, but he parried adroitly and I missed; I made another lunge and succeeded in driving my spear point through his breast. He started,roaring furiously and snapped at my copper cased staff, then made an attempt to strike at my arm with his huge forepaw, so that I might drop my weapon. There was a thrilling uncertainty as to the outcome; the powerful brute hung on to my spear at the one end, while I as grimly held on at the other end. His bites went through the copper plate and he started shredding the wood beneath. Strenuously I checked his further advances, and gradually, for his wounds began to tell, his resistance weakened, and he dropped at last over the aperture of his den. I pulled out the spear, but so much strength still remained in him ‘that he seized the blade and bit it with a force that left deep indentations in the steel: Herr Broberg then finished him off with his own weapon. This struggle from start to finish covered five minutes. S

I certainly have had, as have all other big game hunters, one or two narrow escapes, but so far my luck has carried me through and Bruin has never got the best of it. I once found myself in tight quarters wgtli an overgrown specimen of the Slagbjorn variety. He had chosen for his sleeping place the center of an open tract where, while- the giant forest trees had long 'since been burned down, dense bushes had grown in their place and these, snowladen and frost-stiff-ened, obdurately impeded my way. It was no easy task to advange noiselessly here, where every twig was a snare to entangle my long ski. I stumbled, fell and lay floundering in the deep Snow. Simultaneously my bear loomed forth on the near horizon. He might—l considered—have selected a more auspicous moment for his manifestation. Prone as I was, for ski are infernal machines when speedy extrication is desirable, I took careful aim and fired; my shot went- home, and certainly my good genius directed it, for: had I missed or merely wounded, my position - would have been almost unenviable. : ;
