g A IIIDKOL'S Ti)U..CATHi:nER.
In llio year 1857, I was mate of tlio
fillip Kilcn l'ird, t lieu making her third
voyage. It v:is in tho palmy days of
tho sandal-wood and boeswav trade,
and wo were at the Island of Timor, an
chored at Delhi haven, taking in a
cargo.
" Sandal wood, so valuable because of
its enduring perfume for the manufac
ture of fancy work-boxes, desks and
cabinets, could, at that time, be ob
t amed in considerable iiantit'os in Ti
jnor. It grows tliere as a small timber
tree anions the mountains of the interi
or. The natives are hired to take it to
tl-e harbor in small logs, earned on the
shoulders of two or three men walking
together, or upon tho bacKS of their
tamed ponies.
"Vhi'c slowly taking in this part of
ifrSr cargo, log by log, I, as male of the
vessel, was dispatched on a trip inland,
to hasten the collection of beeswax.
Three of the seamen accompanied me.
Some twenty natives of the island also
went with us to take up tho wild ee'
nests, and these were to bo paid in
goods at the vessel for all the wax they
might gather.
For ver a week we slept in twobam-
ftt) huts set up on posts, with thatched.
roof-?, at a place the natives called tho
JJirdees, twenty or twenty-live miles
uack from Delhi.
Dardee is tho Timorese name for a
very curious tree, tho roots of which
rise out of the ground in a tangled,
complicated pyramid to the height of
sixty, and even eighty, feet. It is at
the lop of this vast mass that tho real
trunk of the tree begins, branching out
""" above in a top almost as thick and e
tenMve as the root. Often these wide
spread and thiekby-woven dardee roots
ini lose an open space at their center,
where one may stand directly beneath
the great trunk overhead. These root
systems are not unfroipientlv thirty,
Jartv and even lifty feet in diameter,
PNiiibitSng a singularly-grotcsijuo,
gnarled appearance; and where a forest
of then stand moderately close togeth
er, they present to tho eye a most be
wildering maze.
Hut the forests of Timor are, as a
rule, by no means dense. Open plats,
ty full of rank, coarse grass and flowers,
alternate with the groves of larger
Mrccs; and the whole country round
about tho huts, where we spent our
nights, was one great natural apiary.
The huts, in fact, were built by bee
hunters, who each year visit the district
to get honey ami wax.
Much as" has been said and written
concerning bees, 1 think the reader will
a yet find something novel in a brie? de-
scription of the wild bees of Timor, and
the old method bv which the natives
capture them. These bees (the apis
tlorsata) do not, like tho wild bees of
f America and other countries, build their
diesis in hollow trees, or clefts in the
crags. I was astonished to see hanging
to the lower side of some stout branch,
n far up in the tops of the loftiest trees, a
great cone of honey-eomb, often four
fQct in diameter by live feet in length.
Those combs are so piled and covered
in as to resist the weather completely,
and are cemented to the branch with a
thick, glutinous stump of very tough
y and compact wax. I estimated the
"" weight of some of these large combs at
three hundred pounds.
During the week we were in the for
est, we took, I should think, nearly five
hundred of these horov-cones. The
honey, save what we could eat with our
food," was of no use to us, and 1 havo
Jttle doubt that thirty or forty thousand
""l pounds of honey were tlestroyed by us
in that one week; for the wax was all
that we cared to take.
The lirst time I saw the natives take
a bees" nest, I thought their method of
doing it as curious as tho nest itself
w:is odd. This peculiar nest hung from
jfc limb of a tall, straight, smooth-barked
eucalyptus tree, scveutj--hve feet from
the ground. The trunk of the tree was
a yard or more in diameter. To cut
it down would havo been several hours'
work, even for an experienced woods
man; while to climb it, after the ordinary
fashion, would havo been out of tho
question. This is the way Benu, one
of the Timor men. set to work- First,
he took from his bundle a torch of some
""""rcsiuous wood, and lighted it. This
torch he attached to his waist-cloth, or
girdle, bv means of a string some ten
feet long" so that as he climbed up, tho
slowly burning, "but densely smoking,
torch would hang beneath him. To
his girdle was also hung a ehopping-
inite, for cutting off the eomb from the
branch, and a long line, in a coil, for
lowering it to the ground. Fola, an
other of the men, now brought him a
strong bush rope, or creeper, some
twenty feet long, green and pliable,
and freshly cut from a thicket. Benu
first passed one end of this creeper
round the trunk of tbo tree, thengrasp-
-Jiig an end in each hand, leaned Dack,
ami setting his feet against the trunk,
he began to walk up the tree, holding
fast by the bush rope and throwing it
up, by a quick jerk, after every second
step. It was wonderful to note the
r skill with which he took advantage of
the least roughesss, or scar in
"flic bark, to get a hold for the
' loop, or for his feet. He was not
much more than a minute going up sixty
. feet. All this time, he was almost on-
fj xv"fnirfl in n. fVlnnd of smokft from thft
torch, which secjned to prevent the
bees from settling upon his body;
' which, but for his waist-cloth, was en-
-airely bare and exposed to their stings.
. Arriving directly beneath the limbto
which the comb was suspended, by a
tjexterous spring ho threw himself
partly over it, then drawing up his
-ftjfgh, so that its smoke completely en-
veloped his body, he rested for some
foment oeiore ctw-ju-jt m v m.
branch to cut off tho comb. Thousands
of the bees were Hying about him. and
thousands more were clinging in black
masses to the outside of the comb. But

filling the forest with their deep, solemn j
num. I'clcnucu by tho smoke, licuu
had in a moment or two more made a
double noose of his smaller line round
tho comb; and then, with a few deft
cuts of his chopper, ho cleaved off the
cone from the limb, and lowered it un
broken to the ground. In three min
utes more he had walked down tho tree,
much as he had walked up. and stood
among us, none the wor-io for his ex
ploit, with tho exception of a few
stings.
Afterward, I repeatedly saw Fola,
Amine, Motulect and a dozen others of
our native S'piad, climb up for nests in
the same way. It was their customary.
method. Nothing would have induced j
me to attempt sucu a ic.it; nor count
any of our sailors be induced or cajoled
into attempting it.
A little way out from our huts, on the
further side, and just bevond the three
dardee trees, there was a rocky gully
or gulch, twenty-live or thirty feet in ,
depth, and from" forty to fifty feet wide.
So steep were its sides, and so tangled
with creepers and vines, that to cross it
we should have been forced to made a
long detour, cither below or above, had
it not been for a bridge, which nature '
had provided in the shape of a tree I
which had fallen across the ratine, I
spanning it completely from bank to '
bank. It hail been a very large, old
tree. The shattered top lay on the side
next our huts; ami the ends were over-,
run by a luxuriant wild grape-vine, j
loaded down with dusters of 'grapes.
the outer skins of which were covered
with hair! But their flavor was deli
cious, though on first putting one in
jour mouth, the hair cave you a very
peculiar sensation, winding throujni ,
the top of the tree with the vine, there
was a beautiful crown-lily, displaying
its glorious festoons of blossoms side by
side with tho strange hairy grape clus
ters, so that a most singular and gor
geous effect was produced. The trunk
of tho tree, which was at least four feet
in diameter, offered a perfectly safe
bridge across the gully; and for the first
four days we were constantly going
back and forth on it. It had evidently
been u-ed for this purpose, either by
men or wild animals, long before our
arrival, for the log was worn smooth,
apparently, by the many feet that had
passed and repassed on it.
Though still tolerably sound and
strong, the log was plainly a hollow one;
and out near tiie middle of it there was
a hole in the upper side. I noticed
this hole the first time I went across,
and thought what an ugly thing it
would be to step into it when crossing
with a load, it must have been not lar
from a foot anil a half in diameter.
Several times, while walking over
this log. I noticed a strange, sickening
odor coming from it, which, though
faint, was very nauseating, and once,
when standing still for a moment,
looking down into the gully beneath
it, I saw some bunches of what ap
peared to bo bones wadded together.
There were a good many of these lying
thero among the rank grass, and I con
cluded that a number of animals had
died, or been killed there, and that tho
peculiar odor came from these.
The fourth evening wo wero there,
just at sun-set, when tho natives were
coming from bee-hunting, each with
his great sack of mashed comb on his
head, I suddenby heard a fearful outcry
in the direction of this gull'.
"Some of 'em havo tumbled ofTn
that log!" Myers, oiks of the sailors
with me, called out, ami we all ran
from the hut where we wero eating
supper, to see what had caused so dread
ful a shriek.
On coining in sight of tho log that
spanned tho ravine, a strange specta
cle presented itsolf. Dangling from tho
under side of tho log, struggling and
shrieking, hung one of tho natives a
brother of Benu, named Oati. At the
same instant I perceived tho folds of a
monstrous, mottled snake, rising in
great loops above tho log, and heard a
native who was standing on the farther
end of the log. screaming " Whir lc
hai! Wlar Ichai! (Great snake! Great
snake!) " TasnJtn! tasuhu!" (Help!
help!) "Come forth, white chief, with
your lire gun!"
Without waiting to get my gun, for
foor Oati's shrieks wero awful to hear,
seized a largo handspike lying-near,
and dashing out on the log, delivered
two heavy blows upon tho serpent's
writhing folds, cither of which I feel
certain would havo broken an ox's
back. Feeling these, the monster
dropped Oati," whom it had seized by
the thigh in its mouth and was holding
up by main strength, and rearing its
huge, flattened head six or seven feet
above tho log, looked me full in the
face, its great eyes dilated with fury and
its tongue licking the air with a strange,
hissing sound.
It was a sight to startle the bravest
of men. I struck at its head and leaped
backward on tho log, but lost my foot
ing when close to the bank of thogully,
aitd, slipping off the tree-trunk, went
tearing down through the vines to tho
bottom. The fall did not hurt me
much, but I was snarled up in vines,
and it was some moments before I could
struggle out, or even clear away the
foliago sulhciently to see whether the
great snake was after me or not. 1
could hea- a tremendous shouting and
noise, however, and soon the reports of
several guns.
Tho moment I got clear of tho liana.,
I ran through tho bushes and grass,
down the bed of the gully; aud hero I
came upon Oati, crawling off on his
hands and knees. His thigh was bleed
ing profusely from several deep, ugry
looking holes, aud his ankle was out of
joint from the fall.
There was so savage a battlo going
on above us, that my shouts for assist
ance were unuoticcd. After several ef
forts I succeeded in throwing Oati's
ankle-joint hack into place; aud then,
binding up his leg as best I could, I
helped him along to a place whero it
was possible for us to climb out.
But altogether this had occupied fif
teen or twenty minutes; so that thu
light which Myers and Benu. Amrue,
Fola and the rest were making with the
IP lar lih-ii" was now for the most part
over. The shots had driven the ser
pent back into tho log; whence, ac
cording to Oati, it had darted its head
out to seize him, as he walked across.
Myers was now watclfing for it firing
whenever it thrust its head out from
the hole. He said that he had put two
balls clean through its body before it
had commenced to slide back into its
retreat.
Benu now brought an axe, and in the
course of an hour tho great log was cut
off. close to the bank, and tell down
with a loud crash one end of it into
the guily. It split as it fell, and the
body of the python was thrown partly
out of the hollow but the crack closing
somewhat again, as tho end of the log
came to rest on the bottom of thegulch,
the great reptile was held fast within
it. For awhile it writhed and twisted
there, emitting a most horrible odor.
Seeing it was caught fast, the natives
went down and beat it to death ith
handspikes. They then cut away the
log and let its body fall out.
With my pocket-rule I measured off
a ten-foot pole, and when I say that I
placed this pole three times along the
dead serpent's body, and had still a foot
to spare off its tad, perhaps I shall be
accused of telling "a snake story;"
nevertheless, it's the truth. At the
middle, its body was nearly as thick as
a man's; and its scales were as large as
clamshells. But the most ferocious
feature was its great, bony, flattened
head, with its huge gaping jaws and
great lidlsss' eyes. Its colors weze a
pale j How along the belly, shadine to
coppery hues on its sides, with livid
brown and black marking- along lh
back.
There is little doubt that this mon
strous creature bad long had its lurking
place in the old log; -and it made me
fdiuddcr to think how many time wo
had all passed back and forth over itJ
head. 1'ouWs Comjxininn,

It is in tho dog-days that the souls of
housekeepers are most severely tried.
Appetites are capricious; dishes heartily
eaten one day anil sent away untastcd
the next, while the praiseworthy
economy practiced at King. Arthur
Court, where what they could not
ext that day, tho Queen next morning
fried," becomes an impossibility. Cook
ed meats will not keep long, even in the
refrigerator, while cooked vegetables
sour out of tho ice-chest, or, it kept in
it, become "Hat. stale, and un
profitable." In this state of affairs it is well to fol
low the example of dwellers in hot
climates, who live principally on fruit
and fresh vegetables. Dates and bread
form the chief diet of the dcsert Arab,
and the hardy K.ist Indian codie sub
sists almost entirely on rice. Bouillon,
that is. light soup, fresh fruit, a salad,
and coffee is the Henchman a b II of fare
for the hot weather. Indeed, nature in
this respect as in others, is a law unto
herself, and he who eats much meat in
hot weather is apt to pay the penalty
for it in a clogged brain and feeling of
general heaviness. Breakfast, especial
ly, should in warm wether be a light
meal. .Milk and oatmeal or cracked
wheat, .ofi-boiIcd eggs, bread, which
however, need not be htale. fresh butter
and fruit are far more refreshing and
healthy d et with the thermometer up
among the nineties than hot cakes aud
fried meat, washed down with hot
coffee.
The athletes in training for the Greek
games were restricted to a diet of bread
and milk and fruit, and in our own day
the prospective prize-fighter is strictly
limited in his supply of animal food.
Dio Lewis gives it as his opinion that
meats, except lambs and chicken, should
be eschewed in hot weather, but then
Dio Lewis would make oatmeal the staff
of life, and ascribes most of the ills that
llesh is heir to to intemperance in eat
ing. Yet, while 'one man's meat is
another man's poison," the fact remains
that in warm weather much less animal
food is necessary than in cold, when
the fires, so to speak, need to bo kept
up aud an excess of carbon is required
to keep us warm. In this state of af
fairs it is a matter of congratulation
that Nature provides us with so many
dainty dishes, all ready to bo eaten.
Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries,
blackberries and peaches may all come
to the table without the smell of lire
having passed upon them, and, eaten
with lresh country cream, aro "a dainty
dish to set before a King." Tomatoes,
eaten raw, are a sovereign remedy for
biliousness.
In tho country, whore fruit and milk
are abundant, ice-cream, that most do
licious of hot-weather dishes, costs but
very little. Given a five minuto freezer
and a pailful of ice, the rich milk, or,
still better, cream, has but to be mixed
with the crushed fruit, sweetened, aud
left to freeze itself. Covered with an
old blanket or piece of carpeting, the
process of congealing will go on slowly
but surely, with smalt aid from you.
even it your freezer be but a tin bucket,
only in that case you must cut up the
cream two or three times from tho bot
tom with a knifo while freezing, in or
der to prevent the formation of crystals
of ice in the freozor.
A popular fallacy condemns soup as
too hot for warm weather. On the
contrary, it is one of tho host of sum
mer dishes. In a well-mado soup the
process of digestion is half accom
plished, and nothing else, except beef
tea, containing :is much nourishment
can be eaten with so little offort. Veg
etable soups are easuy made, and well
made aro delicious.
Against tiles, that plague of summer,
two weapons aro powerful cleanliness
and darkness. Th6 table should bo
cleaned as soon as meals are over and
all crumbs carefully brushed up from
table and floor. Tho dining-room
should bo kept dark between meals;
but it will not do simply to shut up tho
room, shuttingthctliesiuit. Close every
door and window but one and drive tho
Hies out through that. This is by no
means so dithcult as it appears upon
paper, and praotico enables one to bo
come quito an expert at the task.
Air all sleeping rooms thoroughly
every morning, and if possible suu tho
mattresses occasionally. Oftenat night,
when the heat is unbearable, a wet
cloth stretched over tho window blind
will cool tho room as though a shower
had fallen, and every one knows how
watering the pavement in front of tho
door will freshen the hot, dry air. This
principle of the reduction of tho teni
peraturo by evaporation is capable ol
much practical application. In India
and other tropical countries, where ice
is almost unknown, tho natives cool
their water for drinking by suspending
their water-bottles, which aro of porous
earthenware, in a brisk current of air.

Sell by Weight.
Progress in some things is slow.
Many years ago nearly everything was
sold "by measure by "the bushel, quart,
gallon" etc Fifty years ago salt was
measured in a half bushel, and so was
flour. But there has been great prog
ress made in many articles. But there
is a reform demanded in others. There
is great injustice done to both buyer
and seller to seil eggs by tho dozen.
The eggs of the improved breeds of
hens are twice as tieavy as aro the
product of tho common scrub stock.
There are constant frauds in the quart
or fruit boxes of small fruits. Thero
arc shortages, stealings and leakings in
every box." Honest scales will not thus
cheat. Besides boxes, packages or
measures which aro professedly put up
for a bushel, barrel, gallon, "quart or
pint, and which fall suort. are a fraud
on the public, and should be avoided
by changing the rule to testing every
thing by standard measures or scales.
Thero is a3 much eertainty in selling
wool by the fleeco at a standard for all
fleeces, as to sell eggs by the dozen, or
hay by the load. The only right way
of selling all farm products is by
weight. ""Justice can be done in no
other way. This is the best standard
for selling potatoes, tomatoes, wheat,
barley, oats, apples, berries, eggs, but
ter, chickens, turkeys, hogs and beeves.
Let us have no exceptions. At present
the exceptions aro where the greatest
frauds are perpetrated. Let us have
an opportunity of ordering by telephone
from our grocer ten pounds of eggs.

Fertility f Araeriraa Soil-.
The term fertility. a now generally
acd by writcm oaagriculturc, exprns
cs the amount of plant foci that Is pres
ent in the soil in a form to be taken up
by the growing crops. Thb fertility n
bejit measured by the crops which the
soil will produce, but owing U o many
modifying cauv. it la safe to judge o"f
the state of fertility of any Mil oal
after three or. more crop5 have beca
grown. A soil may be rich, but for
some other reason produce, for exam
ple, only a small crop of corn this year,
owing, it may be, to exces-dre dryneM
or the reverse, to poor wrcd and other
modifying causes.
It is a natural question to ask when -o
thui fertility cornea.-! n 1 in what chemic
al elements and com-ounds it consists.
In answering this question, tho features
of an infertile or barren, or as it :.smot
frequently called, an czhuustoi noil, will
be brougfit forward as the natural op
posite of fertility. A fettile oil. one
that is capable under favorable circum
stances of producing a paying crop,
luu-tt contain all of those elements of
foojl that agricultural plants derive from
the toil, and, as before stated, in avail
able form. This last clause is of great
importance, for-the soil may contain a
full complement of food elements, but
have one or more locked up in tome
insoluble form, in which state it is of
very little use. A sod that has all these
elements of plant food, without their
having been added b the hand of man,
may be termed niluriUj fertile toil
one that ol itself will pro luce good
crops of grain, roots, etc. Such are the
rich virgin so.l of all nev countries, as
the vast areas of the MisM-ippi Vallcv.
when they wero fir?t broken by the
plow, and much of the far West that is
now be ng brought into cultivation. A
soil that is naturally jnior or infertile
may be made to produce paying crops,
by adding the elements of plant fo-d in
the form of barnyard manure, or its
equivalent in commercial fertilizers.
In the same way. a m:1 that was once
naturally fertile, but has bc-onio poor
or exhausted by constant cropp.ng. may
be restored to "its original virgin 'fertil
ity or kept in a sufficiently fertile state
to produce good crops. 'I his last is tin
work of the fanner in all old countries;
the keeping up of the fertility of the
Miil is the problem, often perplexing
and dillicult. that all farmers upon old
land havo to work out during their
whole lives. With them the sol ts a
machine," or perhaps more evidently,
i "factory," in which the plants work,
anil out of the crude materials supplied
to the soil, together with thoic lur
nishcil by the air, they make the stib
stauco of their stem, leaf, fruit and
grain. In this sense a large farm may
be a thousand-aero ' factory" where
grains aud fruits, leaf and wool, ate
made from the crude materials, which
must in good part be supplied by the
farmer to the soil. All of the fanning
in the countries of the old world aud
much of that in the older-settled parts
of tho new is of this faotoiy" kind,
where tho most successful farmer is he
who knows best how much of the raw
material to put into the factorv," and
how and when it is best to do it. He
is also the one who runs the grain and
leaf-producing mill" with thogreate.st
economy with the least wear and tear
upon the machinery, so to speak, and
sells his goods at the right time and
plaee.and therefore at thegreatest pro :iL
Tliere is another style of farming
which is more largely practiced in
America than anywhere else; namely,
the farming upon new and rich soil a
soil that has a virgin fertility su'licient
to grow largo crops, and no addition
of fertilizers of any kind is needed.
The fact that we havo such land and
such farming is felt the world over,
and gives the American virgin-soil
farmer certain important advantages
over all who must feed their soil be
fore a crop can be raised with siicccs.
It is simply a process of taking off from
tho soil with no corresponding return,
and for a time the products of grain,
beef, etc., can be sold more erieaply
than the same can be grown whero an
expenditure must be made in food for
the soil. But as fertility is so largelv
dependent upon the amount of nitrogen
in th soil, and this is stored up only by
previous generations of plants, anv .se
vere cropping in which more nitrogen
is removed from the soil in the crop
than is formed and stored up in the
soil during the same period will soon
er or later bring tho most fertile soil
to a state of exhaustion. There is,
therefore, an end, though it may be
many years hence, to the virgin-soil
farming in America. When th's comes,
all will engage in the ""give and take"
system, or'upply anddeiuau I" prac
tice; that is. supply the soil with its
quota of food, anil demand in return a
fair compensation for the expenditure,
in the shape of a paying crop. When
this time comes, the competition be
tween the farmers upon tiie new and
the old lands will bo more healthful,
and our system of agriculture will be
come evident, because common to all.

The Modern Cook.
What arc some of the things that ev
ery cook who prepares a meal for any
family ought to know? Unless the
whole routine of her work be haphazard
and unreliable, she should have intelli
gent and well defined opinions concern
ing the relations of food to physical
groyvth, so that she can furnish" that
which is the best adapted to tho whole
household, lit to bui d up healthful and
svranietrical bodies fcr the children as
well as the mature workers in the family,
the nutriment necessary to keep good
the balance between "supply antf de
mand. The children should not fail to
develop properly ou account of her ig
noranco of their needs. The father
should never give out more vitality in
his struggle with the world than "she
can make good to him as she prepares
his daily food. All this implies a prac
tical application of the principles taught
in physiology and chemistry, as welfas
a knowledge of the kind and the qual
ity of nourishment stored in plants,
flesh, fish and fowl. Earth, air and sea
furnish her with materials which she
must understand hov to prepare, so
that it can be transformed into bone,
blood and muscle in such proportion
that each shall have its proper devel
opment. She must be both too wise
and too humane to concoct any dish or
brew any drink that will induce dys
pepsia, headache or dullness.
Never until cook gives more time to
the mastery of such studies will cook
ery take its proper place among the
sciences. These bodies of ours are ex
ceedingly complicated and delicate ma
chines, not to be safely tampered with
by bungling. A blacksmith can under
take with greater impunity to make a
watch than an ignorant and untrained
housekeeper to build up, without
knowledge or skill, a S3mmetrical and
perfectly-developed human body. And
when the value of these bodies, not onlv
as physical organisms, but as related to
mental growth, is fullv appreciated, the
work of the skilled cobk'will rauk with
that of other great scientists, and more
than that, with other great philanthro
pists. It is not extravagant' to say that
the progress of human:y toward true
gerfection depends largely upon this
ranch of domestic economy. How
much thought and study are given to
the p-roper food for tine' stock. Surely
we owe as much care to our children as
to our herds. It is certainly true that
just in proportion to the advance of anv
people in civilization will be the ad
vance of care and skill in the prepara
tion of the articles of food. It Is, there
fore, worthy of an absorbing studv.
Health, mental vigor, virtue and hap
piness are more closely dependent than
we are apt to imagine" on the cook that
reigns in the kitchen. Mrs. M. B.
Witch, in College Quarterly.

Kindly Treatment of Domestic Animals.
Nothing can be more foolish than tho
attempt to catch either a horse, coyv,
pig, sheep or dor 1)3 running after it.
ilort many futile attempts to catch a
horse have been made in pursuance of
tho above method. Hoyv many times
has the horse, just as the hired man yvas
anout to yvalk up to its head and at the
point of catching it, made a sudden
yvheel and shoyvn the brightness. of its
shoes. At this juncture wc have seen a
little bo, yvho had never struck the
horse yvith a yvhip, but yvho had given
the animal many an apple in da3s gone
b3, stroking him and playing yvith him
at the time yvc have seen even this
litt.e felloyv take the horse quietly by
tho foretop. and together the3 would
go to any desired point. Or perhaps a
lady makes her appearance, in whom
tho horje recognizes a friend yvho has
frequently regaled him with a lump of
sugar. He docs not even wait for the
lady to come to him; for he goes to her,
and the simple lump of sugar yvill cn-
fihlft his mirJtrps to lo'iil tli nnhln hnrsn
to his stall, a task yvhich all the chasing j
ami yelling ot the lured man has tared
to accomplish. The intelligent animal
is attracted neither by the personal ap
pearance nor the tone of voice of tho
rough fellow who strives to rulo b
force alone.
Another individual attempts by run
ning and 3elling to catch iiis coyv or
coyvs. Win do these naturally gentle
animals run ayvay from him? Because
they remember full well that on former
occasions, yvhen he has succeeded in
catching them, a series of blows from ,
some heavy cudgel has been their re- j
ward. Is there not some better xvay of
securing the good yv.ll of our herds and j
in managing them as wc wish? There j
is a holloyv place on the head of every j
cow, just behind the junction of the J
horns, which is commonly full of dust,
short hairs and tho like, causing the
animal an itching sensation. It is a
source of extreme pleasure to the coyv i
to have the spot scratched, and "(sinco
from its location the animal herself
cannot reach it), hence, when her
keeper approaches her, either in the
stable-or in the pasture, an era of good
feeling may at once be established if
due attention be paid to scratching this
hollow spot. If, at your first ap
proach, the cow is a little shy, offer her
from one hand a nubbin of corn while
with the other hand you gently scratch
the particular spot "in her head men
tioned above In a very short time,
whenever you go into their pasture, the
whole herd will come to you to have
their heads scratched, and you will soon
be satisfied that it is as easy to have
them follow you as to resort'to driving
and loud noise. American Cultivator.
