LIFE ON THE- - CATTLE BOAT

I felt like a bridegroom that had been left waiting at the church, with no bride appearing, and the crowd scoffing at him, and commenting on his clothes.

" 1 waited on the porch at the hotel at Fortress Monroe all the forenoon for Mr. Evans’ launch to come and get me and take me aboard his flagship. holding my ticket in one hand and my bundle of clothes in the other.

Launches came by the dozen, bringing people ashore, but no one was allowed to go out to the ships. Finally the last launch came, and it was manned by “Connecticut” men, and when I showed my ticket and was going to get on, the boss said “skiddoo,” the boat moved away with one of my feet on board and the other on the dock, and I promptly fell in the water, the boss-.of the boat yelling to some one on the dock to “get a boat hook and pull it out,” and soon I came up strangling, a hook caught me in the pants and I was hauled out on the dock. They stood-me on my head to empty the water out of me, and a soldier took me into the kitchen of the hotelito have me dried out by the gas boiler, and I felt deserted and demeoralized. The guns boomed, the bands played, and I looked eut of the kitchen window and saw the fleet sail away south without me, and I realized that Bob Evans had been “stringing” me, and that he never intended I should go around the horn with the fleet, and I thought that maybe, if he he was a liar, and used profane language, and was subject to rheumatism, it was better that I did not go, as I might be spoiled. But they can go plumb with their old fleet, and if the Japs get Bob Evans and roast him over the coals, all I hope is that he will be sorry for treating me as he did. .But I always light on my feet. After I got dried out, I met a man who was picking up a crew to go to Europe from Baltimore on a cattle ship, and he pictured to me the easy life on the ocean wave with a load of steers, and hired me to go along, and I thought it was the chance of my life to meet up with Pa, who is over thereshunting airships for his government, so we went to Baltimore, and that night we were in the cattle ship and I slept in a hammock and ate my bread and beef out of a tin basin. :

Gee, what a change it was:over my former trip to Europe with Pa, on a regular liner, with a bed and meals in the cabin. But when a boy goes out in the world to gain his own living, and travel on his face, he has got to take what comes to him.

The next morning my work began Our vessel went up to the stock yards, and began to load steers for shipment, and all T had to do was to act as a “twister.” When the cattle came through the shute, and landed on the deck, and refused to go into the dark places, we had to take hold of the tails of the cattle tnd twist them so they would move on, and of all the bellowing you ever heard, that was the worst.

Whether the bellowing was caused by the tail twisting, or because the cattle were homesick, and did not want to be kidnaped or ‘“shanghaied” on board a foreign-bound vessel, I don’t know, but it was more exciting that the sea fight at Santiago and about as dangerous, for the -cattle hooked with their horns and kicked, and I was kicked more than 40 times, and would have quit, only the man that hired me said that if any of us were injured we would be put on the government pension list, and be supported in luxury the baladce of our lives, so 1 worked for two days, and

WHY "OSTRICHES WALTZ

The so-called -waltzing performance of the ostrich is familiar to all in South Africa, but few outsiders have ever heard of it. It consists of a rapid whirling movement, the wings spread out and alternately elevated and depressed. It is a fascinating sight when ‘indulged in by a large flock. : - "This gay behavior is n 6 doubt in,stinctive, and, as with other instincts, it is perfected by experience. Ostrich

finally we got a thousand or more steers down in the hold, sliding them ‘down on skids, and they were lined up in stalls, with a hay rack in front of them, and a bar across behind them, _and we sailed for the ocean, after feeding the cattle baled hay and giving them water and bedding. It seemed to me those cattle were almost as comfortable as steerage passengers on a liner, but they kicked and bellowed, and pawed the planks off the deck, and mourned like lost souls.

The first day out I found that I was not a passenger, but a crew. Instead of the easy life I had expected, loafing along across the ocean, I had to get up before daylight and skin potatoes, and help stir soup, and pulverize hard tack, and carry the food up into the «abin for the officers, and be sea sick, and wash dishes and wait on table, and feed cattle, and do everything anybody teld me to do. After a few days I mutinied, and went to the captain and complained. He was an English nobleman, and after hearing my tale of woe, he told me if I didn’t like it 1 could go to ’ell, and I went down cellar to the cook room, which was the nearest to ’ell I could go on tl;at vessel. I found the man that hired me, and told him I seemed tg be doing the most of the work the excursion, and that I wanted \an assistant. He said if I thought I §:s/working much now, I better wait until we run into a storm, when I would not only have to be cook and waiter and chamber maid to the steers, but I would have to be trained nurse down in the cattle regions, for when the steers began to be sea sick that was a time when any man who had a heart could use it to the best advantage, for there was nothing more pitiful than a steer with a pain under his belt. He said steers were not at all like the Irishman who was on the bow of the boat on the last trip, feeding the fish, when the captain came along and said: “Pat, your stomach seems to be weak,” and Pat said: “O, I dunno, I am throwing it as far as any of them.” He said when there was a storm at sea the animals acted perfectly human. They would get down on their knees and roll their eyes heavenward, and moan, and cry, and tears would be in their eves, but they never lost their cud, only they swelled up and bellowed. Well, it wasn’'t an hour before a storm came from towards Cuba, and the boat was rocking and pitching, and the captain blew three whistles, which was a signal for all hands to go below and nurse the steers, and we all made

a rush down to the very bowels of the ship, where the cattle were, and such a sight I never saw. Every steer was standing on one leg and then another, pitching forward into the manger, and then back against the bar that held them in the stall, and all bellowing as though their hearts would break, and the duty of the crew was to go in the stalls and throw the cattle down on their sides, and tie their legs so they couldn’'t get up, when they could lie there and ride easy. They sent me into a stall where a steer was slowly dying by inches, with instructions to hold up his left foreleg, so'they could throw him, and just as I had raised the leg they threw him on .to me, and went on to the next stall, leaving me with the wind all jammed out of me, and the haunch of the steer holding me down. They went all through the lower deck, got the steers down, and went off and left me there to die, never seeming to miss me. I have slept with a good many different kinds of people

reared away from other ostriches, and without having seen the performance. The South Africans have the following theory of the significance of this playful activity: The wild ostrich can protect himself against lions and leopards in no other way than by flight. When chased by a beast of prey the ostrich, starting to run, jerks so quickly from side to side that no beast would 8: likely to have time to set himself

I have had a porcupine crawl into bed with me when camping in the north woods, and ,he was rough enough, for sure. I once had a skunk come into a tent where some of us boys were camping, and when the skunk found out who we were he didn’t do a thing, and they kicked me out, and made me sleep - with the dogs, until the dogs struck, - when I was lonely enough. . Once I had a snake get under my blanket and shake his rattles, and I

be a pillow for the stomach of a seasick thousand-pound steer. 5 When I got my breath so I could yvell it was night, and I had probably been under that steer for several hours. I tried to kick the steer in a vital part, where ox drivers kick oxen to make them “haw” and “gee,” but the steer had gone to sleep and never paid any attention to me. I guess everybody had gone to sleep on the ship, except the watchman and the ‘pilot, but I could lay there all night, so I began to make a noise like a ghost, and I wailed so the watchman heard me, and he peered down the hatch, and I mumbled, “I am thy father’s ghost,” and I rubbed some phosphorus I had in my pocket on the hair of the steer that was acting as my bed eclothes. The man skipped, and pretty soon he came back with the English captain, who had told me if I didn’t like my job I gould go to ’ell, and when he saw the shining steer with the phosphorus on its hair, I wailed-and said: “This is ’ell. come in, the water is fine, and I smell the blood of an Englishman..” Well, the captain weakened, and wouldn’t come down, but I heard bells ringng all over the boat, like a fire alarm, and pretty soon the whole crew came down cellar with hose and began to squi&t water on the steer and me, and thel steer was so scared it broke the rope on its legs and go up off me, and then the animal stampeded out of the stall and charged the firemen, and rubbed its phosphorus side against the English captain, and he “thought he was in hell, for sure, and he made them turn the hose on him, and then a man hit the steer in the head with an ax, and the trouble was over, except that the captain laid it all to me, and told the crew I was a “’0odoo,” and they searched me and found my phosphorus, and that settled it with me. :

They were ordered to put me in the dungeon, and when they wera going upstairs I heard the captain say: “At daylight ’oist it h'out of the ’old, and chuck it h’overboard to feed the sharks,” so I guess I can see my finish all right. _ ; .

Dogs May Not Bay the Moon. =

The new Kent control of dogs order, 1908, provides that no dog shall be allowed out between the hours of sunset and sunrise without being under proper restraint, and the first surhmons under this order was heard at Bromley yesterday when Edward Gillham of St. Anne’s Lodge was summoned for allowing his dog to be out alone at night. The defendant said that the dog must have either broken loose or have been decoyed away. He hoped that now they would have proper, police protection, and that it would be necessary to keep a dog. His place had been broken into and nothing had been discovered aboyt the perpetrators.

The bench said that as it was a new order, with which the public were not generally acquainted, they would only order the payment of costs, but it would be well for the, public of Kent to make a note of the order.— London Mail.. The Human Thermometer. “No, sir,” protested the bottle-nosed monthly nurse to the youthful father, “I don't say as your suggestion for taking the temperature of the dear little hinfant’s bath with a thermomyter ain’'t sensible enough on the part o’ some nusses, but I don’t require anythink o' the kind. The hinfant hisself is sufficilent intimation to me. If the water’s too hot, he turns red; an’ if it’s too cold he turns blue. You can’'t have anythink plainer than that.” : g

Certified milk is simply clean milk whose quality is vouched for by the producer. and some accredited party.

Whatever it is that you have not done that you have intended doing quit your promissory attitude and DO IT NOW. 4

Be sure that the stables and pens are thoroughly cleaned and whitewashed before the winter weather sets in in earnest. :

Dirty, musty bedding does not make good feed for the horses, and they will not eat it if given enough good hay and feed. ;

Don’t leave the potatoes in the ground too long. Water-soaked ground or blistering sunshine do not do them any good after the vines are dead. :

No farmer to-day can afford to let his boy, whom he hopes to have succeed him upon the old farm, go without a course at the state agricultural college. :

A sup of milk for the cats will keep them tied to the dairy barn and make them good partners in keeping the place free from rats and mice. Remember that many a farmer loses a tidy: sum in providing board for the rodents.

If you do not clean the fertilizer attachment to the grain drill before putting away for the winter and oil the parts, you will find in the spring an incrustation on the inside that will be hard to clean and which has eaten ‘well into the iron. :

Whitewash the henhouse. It will not only, kill off the lice but will act as a disinfectant. It is a mistake to suppose that lice must only be fought during the hot months. The vermin are ever present, though during cold weather they are not so active—and that is just the best time to catch them. The more carefully you do this work in the fall, the less trouble you will have in the spring.

The highest yields of the so-called “Alaska” wheat which the Colorado and Idaho experiment stations were able to obtain under the most favorable conditions were from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. This is a great distppointment to those who were advised that a yield of 200 bushels to the acre was the usual result. Moreover, Prof. Hyslop of the Idaho station insists that this much-heralded Alaska wheat is nothing but the Egyptian wheat of disappointing memory; while the department of agriculture states that it is one of the poorest milling’ wheats known and is never grown where the ordinary varieties will thrive ~

Never let the cream become overheated or overripe if you wish te pack the butter made from it. Remember that the best butter can only be made from cream that is in the best of condition, and that the keeping quality of butter depends upon the condition of the cream from which it was made.

If you use hay caps and have beep bothered with inconvenient weights for the corners try cement weights next season. They can be easily made by molding a ball of soft cement weighing about eight ounces into which inch and a half wire staples are set. Cords can then be used to tie the cement balls to the hay cap corners.

Where Saturday night ends every bit of farm work save that which is absolufely necessary—such as stook feeding ‘and milking—and Sunday is enjoyed as a day of rest and attendance upon the house of worship, the farmer begins the week’s work Monday morning with a clear brain to plan, a vigorous body to make light work of every task, and a hopeful, cheery heart that fills all the hours of the day with sunshine. e

Where cheese is made on the farm, a new tin washboiler will serve as a cheese vat, and a clean, splint basket will do for a drainer. The mold can be made from a discarded peck measure. If rennet tablets cannot be secured rennet can usually be purchased of a butcher, since it comes from the lining of the fourth stomach of a calf. Tablets are the most convenient, and can be secured from most drug stores, or all dairy supply houses. One tablet will make 200 pounds of cheese.

Alfalfa is the dairyman’s friend, . surely, if the figures of D. H. Otis are correct. He figures that a ton of alfalfa contains 220 pounds of digestible protein, which at six cents a pound would be worth $13.20, and, if we got four tons to the acre, we could have a value of $62.80. Of course, for a dairyman to realize this much from an acre of alfalfa, he must feed judiciousty and in proper combination with other feeds; but if he realizes only oue-half of this amount, he is getting excellent returns from hig land. Wheat bran, long the standard feed for dairy cows, contains only 12.2 pounds of digestible protein iu every | 100 pounds.
