HE SAILS WITH ; THE EXPEDITION

I don’t know whether I like the clis mate of South Africa or not, but you can have any kind of climate you are looking for, from the Alaska kind to the tropical kind, the same day. I think it is the climate that makes all the animals so mad. One minute a lion or a tiger may be lolling with his tongue out, fighting flies and scratching fleas, and the next minute there are icicles on his mustache, and he has to crawl into a hole in the ground to keep from freezing.

These natives beat me. They de not wear - any clothes except a doily,

made of bark or grass, over their loins,' and from the doily above and below, their skin is bare, and they

ought to be arrested for disorderly conduct and exposure, but their skin is thick and warty like a rhinoceros, and when it freezes it®looks like pickled pigs’ feet. . : One man we have hired to belp capture animals is a native chief with 60 wives, and he has brought them all tor camp with him, and we have to feed them, and ‘it is rumored the women all have their caps set for Pa, if the husband dies, and Pa is afraid they - will kill their old man and select Pa to fill the vacancy, that being the unwritien law that a man's wives can select a husband.

Gee, if I had to be a stepson to all ‘hose 60 senegambians that look like monkeys in the face and when on dress parade like oxen, I should die, or-they would, if I could find enough chloroform to go around. Well, Pa is trying his best to save the life ofthathusbandof the 60 wives and every time one of thg wives pats Pa on the back or chucks him under the chin he has a chill, and I know

he will do something desperate if they get after him in flocks. 3 ¢ ; 1 suppose I ought not to have done it,-but I told one of the wives who understands a little English that Pa liked to be hugged and squeezed, and held on the girls’ laps, so when we get through our work at night and sit around the camp fire they take turns holding Pa on their laps, and he thinks one of the women bro\@}gne of his ribs hugging him, ’cause they are strong as giants, and have a terrible squeeze. I told one of them she could make herself solid with Pa if she could get him a nice long snake, so she went off into the jungle alone and came back dragging a snake more than 20 feet long, and put it in Pa’s tent when he was asleep. When Pa woke up in the morning and found the snake coiled upon his blanket he threw a

fit and went to the doctor and got some medicine for chills and'fever, and we put the snake into a cage to sell to a menagerie. The old airship got in its work the first time we tried it, though we didn’t make gas enough to more than half fill it, and it wouldn’t fly, but we got some tigers and a big lion, all right. We took the airship out on an open prairie and built a fire to make the gas for the balloon, and Pa made everybody stay away from it except me, and when we got it inflated we were to blow a horn, and the people we wanted to go along could come, but the crowd of workers and negroes must stay back, so as not to scare the animals, and be ready to bring cages up when we blew the horn three consecutive times, We were not looking around much, but just paying attention to our gas,

Peculiar Classifications. - A Florida judge ruled that mullet were not fish, but birds, because they had gizzards. The customs officials fn New York ruled that frogs were fish and must pay duty as such. A game warden in Maine gained popularity by declaring oysters were game and so acquired jurisdiction. Aund now comes a decision from the cus-tom-house that.bagpipes are toys and ~ can not be classed as musical instru-

and steering it into the gas bag, and we had got the bag about half full, and it was lying on the grass like a big whale that has died at sea and floated ashore, and we were busy thinking of how we would sail over the veldt and have our cowboy rope a few lions and choke them into submission, when I happened to look around towards the jungle, and there were two tigers crawling through_ the grass towards the gas bag, and a lion walking right towards it as though he was saying to the tigers: “Ah, g'wan, I saw it first,”” and a rhinoceros

was rooting along like a big hog, right towards us. I told Pa to look ovt, and when he -saw the animals he

seemed to lose all appetite for lions and tigers in their wild state, for he started for a tree and told me to climb up, too. Well, it took Pa quite 2 while to get up on a limb, but he and I was right with him, and Pa lcoked at the animals creeping up to the gas bag, and he said: “Bub, the success of this expedition will be settled right Here if that lion drinks any of the gasoline.” : \’(’ell, 1 have seen cats crawling along the floor towards a mouse hole, and -stopping and looking innocent when the mouse stuck his head out of the hole, and then moving on again when the mouse disappeared, and these tigers acted that way, stopping every time thé wind caused the gas bag to flap on the ground. -The lion acted like a big St. Bernard dog that smells something ahead that he don’t exactly know what to make of, but is going tc find out, and the. rhinoceros just rooted along as though he was getting what he wanted out of the ground, and would be along after a

while to investigate that thing that was rising like a big ant hill on the prairie and smelling like a natural gas well. Finally the tigers got mear enough to the gas bag with their claws, running their noses down i!nto the holes where the gas was escaning and fairly drinking in the gas. Their weight sent the bag down to the ground, and they were in the m!ddle, inhaling gas, and pretty soon the lion came up and clawed a hole in the gas bag and acted as though he was not going to let the tigers have all the good -stuff and pretty soon we could see from up the tree tha® they were being overcome -by the fumes, and Pa said in about four minutes we would have a mess of animals ehloroformed good and plenty, and we would go down and hobble them and hog-tie them like they do cattle on the ranches. What bothered us about going down the tree was the rhinoceros that was coming rooting along, but after a while he came up and smelled of the gasoline can, tipped it over, and as the gasoline trickled out on the ground he laid down and rolled in it like a big pig, and after he had got well soaked.in gasoline he rolled near the fire, and in a minute he was all ablaze and about the scaredest rhinoceros that ever roamed the prairie. When the fire began to scorch his hide he let out a bellow that could be heard a mile and started towards the camp on a gallop, looking like a ‘barn afire, and Pa said now was the time to capture our sleeping animals, 80 we shinned down the tree and found the lion dead to the world, and wé tied his feet together and put a bag over his head, and then climbed over the gas bag and found the two tigers sleeping as sweetly as babes, and I

Church Prayer-Meeting

A large church in Chattanooga, Tenn., has a thermometer fixed upon its wall, whose highest point numbers its entire church membership, and whose mercury 'is set at the number in attendance on the church prayermeeting. ’rhex"e must be something astartling about this to look at in black and white if the ¢hurch prayer-meet-ing is attended in proportien .to its membership as it is in many of our

held their legs together while Pa tied all four legs so tight they couldn’t move a muscle, and then Pa told me to blow the horn for the cages to be sent out.

Gee, but I was proud of that morning’s work, two tigers and a lion with no more danger than shooting cats on a back fence with a bean snapper, and Pa and I shook hands and patted each other on the back. I told Pa he was a wonder, and that Mr. Hagenbach would probably make him a general in the Prussian army, but Pa looked modest and said: “All it needs is brain and sand to overcome the terrors of the jungle,” and just then we saw the cages coming across the veldt and Pa said: “Now, when the boys come up with the cages you put one

behind the cages with his coat over his arm, telling young Hagenbach the confoundedest story about how he subdued the animals by just hypnotizing them, and I never said a word. A »oy that will not stand up for his father is an idgit. ; When we got to camp the natives had all scattered to the four winds. It seemed that when the fiery rhinoceros came towards theém they thought the Great Spirit had sent fire to destroy them, and they took to tbe jungle, the rhino after them, bellowirg all kinds of cheering messages from the Great Spirit. Along towards night they came to camp dragging a cooked rhinoceros, and they turned in to eat it, and all those 60 females brought nice pieces of rhino, cooked by gasoline, to Pa, and wanted Pa to eat it, but Pa said he was dieting, and it was Friday, anyway, and he never ate meat.on Friday. :

Then we all sat up all night, and everybody made speeches glorifying Pa as the greatest hero that ever came to Africa, and that he had Stanley beaten a mile, and Pa blushed, and the women held him in their laps and said he was the dearest thing

POSITION OF FOOIBALL - TRAINER NO SINECURE Must Know Whims of Players and Coaches and Conduct Him- . ; .self Accordingly. T Only those closely connected with the game know the magnitude of the problem that confronts thc trainay who lis responsible for the condition of a college football team, particularly on the eve of a big match. It must be remembered that the trainer is not the coach, and in many cases is not on the best of terms with the coach, owing to differences over trivfal matters pertaining to the team, and if there happens to be a board of coaches, as is necessarily the case where the graduate coaching system is in vogue, then the troubles of the trainer are fncreased, since he has the whims and notions of a number of men, in place of one, to contend with. If he is a capable man, and most of the big universities hage very capable trainers—morg capable trainers, as a rule; than coac&s—he soon learns the strength and weaknesses of the men associated with him, as well as of the players, and conducts himself accordingly. It is a common weakness of football coaches to overwork players, particularly after they have beén conditioned by half a season’s work, ‘and this danger is greatest with .a board of graduate coaches in charge. Every coach has some pet idea of his own which he would like to see worked out in practice, and to try it the co-operation of the whole football squad is necessary. -The new play may not® work out satisfactorily in actual practice, but may suggest a modification of the original idea, which must also be tried in actuwal play on the field to determine its value. Only about one in 16 of these new formations ever amounts: to anything, but that one may be well worth all the time and labor spent in developing it. It is the duty of the coach to evolve something new ~ which will take the opposing team by surprise, and it requires practice by the men who are actually to attempt the play in the game to perfect it. The afternoons are not long enough to suit the coaches in this practice work, and unless the trainer is very watchful he may suddenly awaken to the fact that his men are going stale on him at a time when the team needs them most. Some men can stand more work than others, and it is a wise trainer who can always tell just when a man has had enovugh. But if it is difficult to give every football player on the squad the right amount of practice in order to bring out the best that is in him, how much more . difficult is it to regulate the work when there are injuries 1o be considered. @No player ever goes through a whole season without an injury of some sort, and if he is compelled to play while in a half-crippled condition he lays himself open to additional injuries of a more serious nature. It is the duty of the trainer to determine whether a player's ine juries are severe enough to keep him out of the game. '

League Averages.

New England league averages show Catterson, who finished with Brooklyn, leading the batsmen with .327. Ex-big leaguers who were in the bunch are Burkett, who hit .293; Billy Hamilton, who swatted .290; Vinson, once with the Sox, .290; Bowcock, formerly with Cleveland, .260; Connaughton, who was with several big league teams, .226, and Mal Eason, formerly a Cub, .191. Hamilton {s still a lightning fast man on the bases. In ‘B5 games, he stole 39 sacks. Eason seems to be a whale in the little leagues. He won 16 games on the season, and lost only four. .

The essential thing in keeping gweet potatoes is dryness. - :

Cold nights and frosty grass never put a pound of flesh on any animal.

Well groom the horse and he will work well for you; neglect him and he will prove an indifferent servant.

Go slow with the new variety of fruit tree, the new breed of stock, the seed of the new variety of grain. Test them out first. :

Growing crops on the land in the summer should be followed in the winter by the growing of crops of beef and pork and mutton in the barns.

oOil meal is good for the horses. It keeps them in good condition and makes their coat soft and sleek. Give a handful to each horse once a day.

While sheep do not need as warm housing as other stock, they must be kept dry, both under foot and overhead. Keep the sheep stables well cleaned.

An excellent plan in handling sheep {s to provide well-protected yards into which they may be turned on fine days, and have a shed for the stormy, blustery weather.

Put the unthrifty-appearing ewes by themseives and give a little extra feed. Perhaps they are suffering from the greed of the bosses in the flock and are not getting a full ration.

Sweet potatoes are packed in ventilated barrels for shipment just as are apples. They must be packed snugly and the cover pressed on SO as to make sure that there will be no shifting in the barrel. :

The need of the establishment of county agricultural high schools is being urged, and the success of the Dunn county (Wis.) school is an illustration of what such a school may do for farming communities.

. A cheap field shelter for sheep and cattle can.be made by erecting a framework of poles supported by posts get in the ground, over and around which a straw stack can be placed, leaving the south side open.

It is not enough to know how much each cow is producing, but how much the production has cost. To do this you must not only weigh and test the milk, but keep account of the feed and estimate its cost to you. j

There is more clean money in winter dairying than in summer dairying. With a silo to provide succulent feed, and cows freshening in the fall and winter, the highest returns can be counted on from the herd. No flies to bother in the winter time.

Don’t let pails of milk stand in the barn while all the cows are being milked. Remove it at once and get the separator at work upon it while it is warm. Cool the cream as soon as possible. Never mix warm cream with that which has been cooled.

Green scum which collects on standing water and in stock tanks is caused by thread- like pldnt called spirogyra. Cleaning tanks once a month will keep them free from the trouble. Some use a spray on the tanks made up of a six per cent. solution of copper sulphate.

The use of molasses as a ration for cattle is not so new as some would suppose, having been so fed as early as 1811, Germany being perhaps the first country to so use it. Farmers in this country are coming to understand its value, finding that it increases the milk flow and keeps cows in good condition.

A farmer who has seen wash water and dish water impregnated with soap and dirt fed to hogs raises the question as to whether such diet is healthful. Such water is the best kind of fertilizer, but we doubt whether it does the hogs any good. Slops which eontain food seraps and the liquid leavings from the kitchen are of course different and provide the hogs with food elements which are good, that is if the slops are not allowed %o sour and spoil before feeding. .

The president of Bowdoin college declares that the county fair as at present conduct@d has outlived its usefulness and has dege&erated into an immoral exhibition at which crooks and gamblers play the star parts. We wonder what fair he attended this year? There may be county fairs which come within the scope of his criticism, and if there are such it is Indeed high time that a reform was instituted, but the fairs we have come in touch witk uave been of a decidedly educational character, the exhibitions of fine stock, farm, garden and orchard produce, and of farm machin: ery being better than ever. Amusements of a clean, wholesome sort have their rightful place at every fair and provide the farmers and their families with the stimulating recreation that they need. However, tco much care cannot” be exercised by fair officials In peeing that objectionable features do not creep in unawares.. Be sure that the parties seeking the concessions are reliable and can provide credentials from other fairs where thev bave exhibited.

It’s oats that make the via mare ge. It is good for the chickens, too. s ) i ~ Put a little ginger into the horse by way of the curry comb and brush. ~ Have a definite aim before you in’ the desire to improve your live stock and you will make some headway. Eggs that vary much in size or color should not be packed together in the same case. Such ill-assarted cases never bring good prices. One farmer pvho has had a good many waste apples and tomatoes this fall has cooked them and fed them to his big flock of chickens and they have thrived on them. Don’'t keep the mongrel dog about the fafm. Get one of good breed, preferably a collie, and then train him to do something useful in connection with the farm work. The rusty pail or pan should be banished from the dairy, because it not only tajnts the milk but increases the danger of germ contamination, rust places being more than apt to harbor large numbers of bacteria.

In fattening turkeys for Thanks: giving and the holidays there is noth. ing better after all than old corn aund corn meal boiled with potatoes. Feed three times a ‘day. If skim milk is to be had mix with the mash.

Clean out the ditches and furrows through the strawberry beds and cover the beds lightly at first. As the winter advances and the ground freezes harder, put on more covering to keep the plants from winter Kkill ing.

The cold, drafty stable does not mean comfort for the stock, nor does it mean profit for the farmer. Remember that every bit of discomfort which you permit your stock to suffer by so much reduces the amount of your profit. :

Do not market half-finished poultry. There is no economy in stinting poultry you are fitting for market. = Push the food into them and get them fat as quick as possible. No trouble seliing such poultry, and they bring the best of prices, too. ;

- Crop rotation pays, as many a farmer is proving by actual test. It has been found that two years in clover and three in corn will give as much corn as five years in corn grown continuously. Two clover crops as clear gain are worth having. '

Some form of crate is used by many farmers in ringing hogs, but where such contrivance is not at hand the business can be”done by slipping the noose of a stsong rope over the upper jaw of the hog. The hog can thus be held while a second person puts in the ring. \,

Prof. Hansen of South Dakota has brought Dback from Siberia a yellow flowered alfalfa plant which he thinks will be specially adapted to growth In our northern latitudes. His efforts to;develop such a plant will be followed with much interest. : :

Early stages of a cold in chickens can often be cured by two applications of a mixture of one part spirits of turpentine and three parts sweet oil. Anoint the face and eyes with the preparation ‘and pour five or six drobs down. the fowl's throat if there is a wheezing or rattling there.

A good-sized turnip cut in_half and nailed to a board will furnish entertainment and food for a flock of hens for half a day. ‘Another good way to keep the hens busy in cold weather is. to fasten a beet or carrot or other root from the ceiling of the hen house by a strirg, having it just high enough so that the hens will have to jump for it. -

Remember that temperature has everything to do with the churning quality of butter. In summer y>u must bring it down to 60 degrees and in winter you must bring it up to that temperature if you would have the butter come readily, and remember this that though your cream may be of .the right temperature you may have difficulty if the churn is* too cold.

With the idle days lighten up on the horses’ diet. During the months of hard work the horse has had feed rich in nitrogen (the base of protein) and has needed it, for he was using it up in the expansion and contraction of muscles; but when idle, on account of stormy weather or leisure, and fed his working ration, too much nitrogen has accumulated in the muscles. Therefore a hard-working horse that has been well fed should, on being givén a holiday for several days, have his ration changed. Corn is a good substitute for oats in such a case. If clover hay has been fed, timothy hay should be substituted. s A ten-year test by Prof Munson of Maine shows that cultivated trees made larger growth and produced more fruit than trees that . were mulched. Another experiment was to show the effect of commercial fertilizers and stable manure in comparison with each other and with no fertilizer. The unfertilized trees showed clearly that on this virgin pasture soil additional plant food is ab solutely necessary. While the rotting turf sets free a considerable amount of plant fond when culture or muleh is first given this material ig soon exhausted, and the trees assume the yellow, stunted appearance which is too familiar. There is an apparent advantage ir the use of stable manure. in comparison with chemicals, because of the humus. In many orchards this humus can be more cheaply supplied in the form of straw or cheap hay, or on cultivated lands in the form of green manures and cover crops. No differcnce was observed in the effect of different forms of potash salts. The best formula calls for about three per cent, potash, six per cent. pbosphoric :‘ W‘&"‘ application of ten pounds sreßsd i el et
