It A LIVELY EXPERIENCE WITH AN OLD, DIRTY FACED SILVER TIP. “’hy Two Hunters Felt Glum After Their First Meeting VVith Mr- Bruinâ€"A Race One Man Was Hon- estly and Earnestly Trying- to Win. “Speaking of bear,” said the mining expert as he lit a cigar and leaned back comfortably in the corner of the smoker, “there’s nothing nastier to meet but than an old, dirty faced silver tip. He’s a cross between a grizzly and a brown, and, like crosses generally, he inherits all the meanness of both sides of the family. Old Dirty Face is always ugly about inomething~ and he goes around fairly spoiling for a fight. - I. n 117," 71.-.: ryVllAA‘a -v- v. _a_ "Any one ever meet him? Well, I had a scrap with one out in the Buflalo Hump country last year, and' I shun’t forget it in a hurry. I was out there looking for some mines, and one day I took a little stroll all alone to see what I could find. W'e were right in the midst I could find. \Ve were right in the midst of the big mountains, a hundred miles from anywhere, and the finest game country on the continent. I had my Springfield with me, although I wasn’t caring for game just then. But some- times game hunts you, and then you’ve got to fight, climb or run. “Along toward evening. as I was start- ing back for camp. I heard something following on my trail. and looking back I saw Mr. Dirty Face ambling along a couple of hundred yards behind me and taking more interest in me than I liked. I didn’t need any bear particular- ly, as there were no good trees handy, only a few little ones that didn’t count. 1 DODGING A. GRIZZLY. van-J v. -v- ______ V “In the canyon below me was a good sized stream, and I made for that. thinkâ€" ing I could throw the bear OE down by the water. When I came to the bank, I found a mountain torrent 30 or 40 yards wide and deep and ugly looking. I skirted up the bank pretty fast for some time, and then I saw a rock well out from shore that I thought I could reach. I rounded a big howlder, struck it above and by hard work reached the rock all right. I didn't believe Mr. Bear would tackle me there, but there was where I didn‘t know him. Right up my trail he went, rounded the bowlder, sniffed once or twice. sighted me on the rock and promptly struck in. “He had to swim. and the current was so swift that he missed the rock a few yards and so gave me a good shot. I let him have the best 1 had. and I made him .kick. but he reached the shore all right, and now his dander was up in earnest. I plugged at him again, but it didn‘t seem to count. On he came, higher up this time and sighted better for the rock. I waited for him. and when he heaved his big. ugly paws on my rock I let him have {it in the throat, and that fixed him. He {swept by. fairly making the water foam. 1 lt's the last time, gentlemen, that I want to be treed on a rock by a baldfaced bear.” "It's funny,” said the doctor. whose clear gray eyes and square jaw betoken- ed plenty of grit: “it's‘ funny how your first grizzly takes the nerve out of you. Two or three years ago I went hunting with a friend in Colorado. I had killed some big game myself. and I knew that he had killed plenty of it. But neither of us had killed a grizzly. and we were eager for the first chance. “One day when I happened to be out alone, as I came through a clump of qunking asp what should I run plump up against but a big grizzly busily employ“ food. ' “He hadn’t winded me, and there I stood. just screened by the gpaking asp, almost near enough toitouch him with my gun while he went on rooting, utterly un- conscious of my presence. “ ‘Now or never.’ I thought as I brought my gun to my shoulder and care- fully sighted for his head. Then the sights began to wabble and an azue seemed to seize the gun. I steadied my- self. looked around for a convenient tree and tried again, this time for the shoul- der. Again the gun wabbled, and I ground my teeth in rage. u “The bear lifted his head. seemed to smell something up the wind and started off at a good gait away from me. ‘Well, old boy.’ I thought. ‘it I can't hit you standing I can’t running,’ so I let him go. - O “I felt pretty glum when I came into camp that night. but I didn't say any- thing. My friend was cooking supper. and he seemed pretty quiet too. After supper we lighted our pipes and sat by the fire thinking. “ ‘What’s the matter. old man? What are you so still about? he finally asked. “ ‘Oh. nothing,’ I said, trying to seem cheerful. “ ‘Di_d_- you see a hear? he persisted. “ ‘Yes, hang it, I did,’ I answered dogâ€" godly. ,____ .- ._. . a “Tl'x'veu. so did I.’ be said. and the in- cidént was closed. “Vi'?

One night they camped in a deep canyon. and while one was cooking supper the other started out with his shotgun to get some birds. Lots of birds up there. So tame you can almost kill them with a stick. "Pretty soon the man with the shotgun ran up against a grizzly. and Mr. Griz- zly was mad about something and start- ed for him.

Ruggedness or stamina in swine is a quality of the first importance, says Professor Shaw. Many other qualities are good, but without this one all the other good qualities that may be pos- sessed will be so far neutralized. This 1 want of ruggedness is to some extent ‘ present in all lines of stock, but it is probably present in a greater degree in swine than in other farm animals and very probably because of the more ar- tificial conditions to which swine are subjected. And it would seem to be present in a greater degree in pure breds than in grades, since in pure breds those artificial conditions have been present in a greater degree. Let us look into some of the various forms which this delicacy assumes and into the cause of the source with a view of suggesting a remedy. Those evidences of delicacy are manifest in the inabili- ; ty of swine to stand up under forced feeding,‘ in the absence of breeding qualities of the first order. in the many ailments which swine are subject to and in the large mortality when visited with such scourges as hog cholera. This is caused by improper feeding. and the tendency to it is transmitted under certain conditions. It is more certain to appear in those classes of swine which have small bones and bones weak in their constituents. and the cause of such weakness is usually to be traced to improper selection and to feeding a corn diet too continuously. There is not enough ash in the corn to maintain a sufficiency of bone. As soon as a pig begins to break down in limbs his value as a feeder or as a breeder is so far impaired. Every means should be taken, therefore, to maintain pigs strong in vigor of limb. It is possible to grow them so that they will seldom thus break down. and they should be so fed and selected that such a result will follow. The absence of good breeding qualities so often met with in swine in the west is due to im- proper selection. injudicious breeding and improper food. It has been cus- tomary to select the smoothest in form without sufficient regard to size or evi- . dences of bodily vigor. Young sows have been chosen for breeding in pref- erence to those fully matured. and in too many instances, especially in the case of pure breds. ln-and-in breeding has been too much practiced. The feed has had in its entirety too large a per- centage of corn and too little of food elements of a nitrogenous character. The penalty paid is severe. We see it in the small size of the iitters. in the great mortality of the young pigs and in the large proportion of nonbreeding among the sows. Lung Power of Animals. Very few people stop to think that the size of an animal's lungs has any- thing to do with the use of an aniuiaL says Farm, Field and Fireside. Yet the size of the lungs counts enormous- ly when it comes to the question of laying on fat or of consuming fat that has been laid on. The hog has the smallest lungs of our domestic ani- mals. and is. therefore. a great ennâ€" server of fat. If we want to get {at we can get it to greatest advantage through the hog. The reason is that the smaller the lungs the less carbon they throw ofl’. and the less carbon they throw otf the less fat is consumed in supplying material to make carbon- ic acid gas. The hog lives a quiet ex; istence and has no great need to change fat into energy. The race horse would be a hard ani- mal to fatten because he has immense lungs and those lungs are consuming carbon at a great rate. The racer must. therefore. have a well balanced ration. and his carbohydrate ration must not he reduced below the regu- lation proportion. While he must ha ve the proteins to constantly supply the wasting muscles. he must have carbo- hydrates to transform into energy by means of his immense lungs. This will explain why oats have been found such an excellent food for horses. They sup- ply the two elements named In about the proportions used by horses. them, says a writer in the Florida Times- Union. In my herd of nine cows. besides dry cattle. I have the1 bells. They run at large, but they all come up faithfully every evening with- out exception. I am satisfied that they are fond of beiis in their dumb way.

No tradition of the human race is better established than the power of sweet sounds over the savage breast. be it (nan or animal.

A..-” THE WATCHMAN-WARDER : LINDSAY. ONT; Their Advantages For Fumeru with ‘ a Few Cows. j Cream separators were not thought much of until recently, says William Swan in The Prairie Farmer. Now their use is becoming widely spread over the entire west. Every farmer who has sixzor more cows is obliged to have a separator in order to get good results from dairying, either on a large or small scale. The time is coming and is near at hand when every farmer who has few or many cows to milk will have a cream separator. Still there are any number of farmers yet who do not realize how much profit they are losing every day by not using I ALIâ€" Aunt- $.qu ‘vâ€"v _- , a separator. They have heard others tell'of their experience with a separa- tor, but paid little attention only for the time being. One thing they object to is “paying such an exorbitant price,” as they term it, for a separator, but they do not hesitate a moment at the price of any other piece of machinery1 used on the farm. The cream separa- tor is used more than any other ma- chine on the farm, you might say, as it is used twice a day 365 days in the year. and it brings in more dollars than any other machine. 0! course there are other mfihines that must go hand in hand with the separator. I wish I could impress upon the mind of the farmer who has not a cream sepa- rator this thoughtâ€"that whatever you do you wish to receive as great a com- pensation as you believe you have hon- estly earned. Now, you earn more than you really get for your milk at Ubluld J vâ€" .. .. present. You must remedy that leak as quickly as possible for your own special benefit. I am not an agent for separators, as some may suppose, but would merely give some facts as re- gards them. The cream separator that will separate all of the cream and only the cream from the milk is the kind to buy. Here are a few benefits to be de- rived from the use of the separator: First, you can get the cream out of the milk immediately after milking, and thus you will only have to care for the cream; then the skimmilk can be fed in its sweet, warm state to the calves and pigs; second. the milk becomes cleansed from all particles of dirt when separated; third, the finest butter is made from the cream. and it will com- mand the highest market price. How Oleo I. Made. Notwithstanding the protests of the 0100 trust and its friends in congress. the various formulas for making oleo- margarine have been made public, and they are at least interesting. says the Philadelphia North American. -- ‘I, One of the processes for making the kind of butter that is sold in Pennsyl- vania as a dairy product is thus de- scribed in the patent office records: “The process consists in first forming a soap emulsion of the tats or fatty oils with caustic soda; then precipi- tate the lyes: then applying chlorinat- ed alkaline lye or chlorinated gas to the soap emulsion.” That sounds like a recipe for making soft soap. but when the color is added 1 the result is gilt edge “creamer-y” but- ter for the Pennsylvania market. Here are a few of the constituents of the “advanced product of the farm:” Bisulphate of lime, borax, salicylic acid, benzoic acid. orris root, cotton- seed oil. bicarbonate of soda, gyleerin. eapsylie acid. alum. capsic acid. sul- ‘phate of soda, cows‘ udder, sulphuric acid. pepsin, tallow. lard, salt. corn- starch. butyric ether, caustic potash. castor oil. chalk. slippery elm bark. caul. oil of sesame, oil of sunflower seed, olive oil, turnip seed oil. hroma chloralum. chlorate of potash, oil of sweet almonds. oil of peanuts. peroxide of manganese, stomach of pigs, sheep or calf, nitrate of soda, mustard- seed oil, nitric acid. dry blood albumen, sugar. butyric acid. bicarbonate of pot- ash and caustic soda. One cent a pound is a very modest rate of protec- tion for such a formidable array of mineral and organic poisons and abom- inations. Skimmllk as an [insect Destroyer. It may not be generally known that skimmilk or buttermilk readily mixes with kerosene, forming an emulsion which destroys insects without the danger of injury to animals or plants ,on which they might be that might re- 1 suit from the use of the pure oil or of oil and water. We first learned of this ‘ from using this mixture for the scale j insect. or mite. which causes scaly legs on fowl. We found that one or two dippings or washings with it would cure the worst case of scaly leg and leave the skin as smooth as when first hatched. We never had occasion to try it for lousy animals. for we never had one. but we do not hesitate to rec- ommend it. and we have lately seen its use advised tor ticks on sheep, using a gill of kerosene to one galien of milk. We did not make our mixture so strong of kerosene as that. but perhaps the larger tick may need a stronger appli- cation than an insect so small as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye.â€" American Cultivator. CREAM SE PARATO RS. Cows’ Taste In Manic. I am not an agriculturist. but for ten years I lived with an uncle who kept cows. We had several changes of cows 1 and milkmaids during that period. It? was noticed that certain milkmaids could draw more milk than others. Our most characteristic cow was Tri- este. so named on account of her sad bearing, and it required the most touching of border songs to prevail up- on her to give a decent supply of milk. The old woman who‘gencrally milket’ her always wound up with “The Land of the Leal” to get the creamy ending of the milking process. A new hand once tackled Trieste with sea songs. with dire consequences. Another cow was called the Evangelist on account of her intense hatred for psalm tunes and Sankey hymns. She. strange to say, preferred rollicking tunes-Loa- don Chronicle.
