A few of the flies were exposed to light in a glass case and resumed the col ors of ordinary house flies within a week. The America Bison. The American buffalo or bison has been almost exterminated through the greed of hunters, but a herd of twenty owned by the Island Improvement com pany is kept on Antelope island, in the Great Salt Lake, under conditions which. It Is hoped, will lead to their increase. The island Is thirty miles long by six wide, and is virtually given up to the animals, who graze there in a semi-wild state. During the past year four calves were born, and the future prograss of this curious animal colony will be watched with great in terest A herd of bisons is also kept in Yellowstone Park.

From the Auburn Advertiser: A good story is told of one of the numer ous bridegrooms of yesterday, whose nervousness hi the face of the ap proaching event was so great that just before the ceremony he . inadvertently donned two boiled shirts. When he came to pack his traveling bag he dis covered the loss of a shirt, and an anxious search was instituted for the missing garment. The most thorough inspection of the apartment was made, but it was futile, and the bridegroom elect cast reproachful glances at his best man, who had assisted in the ar rangements. Finally it occurred to the perspiring bridegroom that he was un comfortably hot, and, in a moment of mental reaction, he argued that, per haps, it was due to too much clothing. Investigation proved the soundness of his theory, and a quick shift of attire was made. The waiting company won dered at the flush in the bridegroom's cheeks as he entered the parlors, but it was all explained later. Mln Mitchell' Electric Footprint.

From the Philadelphia Press: Glou cester dispatch: John Van Der Werf, about 35 years old. a bartender in this city, was found buried up to his neck in mud in a marsh near Newtown Creek bridge, this city, early this morn ing, by Edward Carey. Carey was walking along the tracks, when a small dog came rushing toward him, whining in a piteous manner. It then rushed toward the marsh, and finally Carey concluded to investigate the cause of the dog's actions, and started for the marsh. When within a few yards of the marsh Carey was startled to hear moans. Carey aroused Patrick Mea ley, his son. Timothy Mealey; Daniel Kane, and Frederick Emminson, who all reside within a short distance of the marsh. The searching party soon dis covered the cause of the small dog's strange actions, when Van Der Werf was found buried up to his neck in the mud. He was extricated. Had the rescuing party been much longer in dis covering the man's position he would have probably disappeared below the surface of the soft mud. Queer Calf Freak. They raise all sorts of freaks in New Mexico, but the most novel one report ed in many months is a calf monstro sity. The cow that gave birth to it belonged to the La Cueva Ranch Com pany. The calf had two perfectly formed and fully developed heads joined to one body. That is, there was apparently but one body, but an exam ination revealed surprising things. It showed that the wonderful calf was practically a double animal. There were two fully developed hearts and two sets of lungs, two sets of stom achs, and, in fact, two of nearly all the vital organs, although some or them were merely rudimentary. Another strange thing about the strange calf was that it had a fifth leg, which was attached to the brisket of the animal. Now the calf is dead and wolves are re sponsible for the loss to the museum managers of a great drawing card. A pack of wolves attacked and killed both wfAIIBaiSwSri W V aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarVCaaaaaat 7aaaaaa 1 PW W W B'MBrammflmm 3 -- UaJ-feg3cJr"-' cow and calf.

It is about five feet in length, and often as thick as the calf of a man's leg. This snake, if seen in a natural history museum, would appear so conspicuous by reason of its bril liant coloring of black, green and yel low stripes, that one would fancy there would be no danger of any animal coming upon it unawares. But take it in its true home, where it lies half hidden in the background of leaves green and brown and j-ellow in its for est environment, and you will at once see that its stripes are just so many mimetic designs meant to conceal it from observation. The puff adder strikes backwards. So if a touch dis turbs it on any part of its long body as it lies resting, it immediately raises its head and strikes in the direction of the disturbance. And there Is only one result death. m lmmmmmTi SLICKER WILL KEEP YOU DRY. Don't be fodiei with a mackintosh or rul'lw coat.

From the Minneapolis Times: A gentleman who makes bis home at the Hotel Berkeley is the possessor of a fine St. Bernard which deserves a gold medal. The dog has developed a strong penchant for stopping runaway horses, and the last time the stop was accom plished just in time to save a party of ladies from serious injury and perhaps worse. His master was driving down Portland avenue last Saturday when he was startled by a cry of "Lookout!" He turned and was just in time to wheel his horse out of the way of a runaway, which was tearing down the avenue. Just ahead there was a party of ladies who could not possibly escape what seemed certain death to some of them, when the dog. who had been following and who seemed by instinct to comprehend the impending tragedy, gave a leap and caught the lines of the runaway between his teeth, his great weight bringing the frightened animal to his hannches, just as he was about to strike one of the ladies, who seemed too terrified to move.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat: Mico: The richest bee tree ever cut in this county was cut a few days ago by Kinson Gregory, living a few miles from this place. The tree, a large pine, had two swarms in it, 18 feet apart, the honey from the two swarms approaching within four feet, making 14 feet of solid honey. Burled by Confederate. vmo three months ago. says the Shreveport. La.. Times, there came to Monrce a gentleman from Warren, Ark., ou a visit to a niece living in the former town. Mr. George Funk (that was his came) was a native of Penn sylvania who had joined an Ohio regi ment and fought through the civil war, subsequently settling in Arkansas. He was in feeble health when he reached Monroe and continued to grow worse. Whe he saw that the end was near he requested that he might be buried by the Henry W. Allen camp of Confed erate Veterans. On his death his re quest was made known to the mem bers of the camp, all of whom readily acceded to it and signified their in tention of attending the funeral, which they did. llever Iriah Vrnwa.

Growing Cabbage. ABBAGE, next tn potatoes, is the most profitable crop the farmer can raise, writes C. Glover In Journal of Agriculture. They are good for the table, excellent food for fowls an-! cattle, and for sev eral years past have been In greater demand in the .-ountry markets than almost any oth ?r vegetable. Of the three varieties the early, the medium and the late, 1 nave been more successful with the latter, nd found them more profitable and a nr..f mn thnn the other varieties, in onsequence of their late RTOwthnu maturity they are less liable to be 1 de- troyed by the Insect pests, and they eep through winter decidedly better ban the early or medium sorts. If It s desirable to raise enough simply for amily use. select a spot of good rich oil, throw on sufficient trash to burn he surface enough to kill the weeds .nd grass. Dig or spade it up three or our inches deep; pulverize by raklngv ow the seeds after mixing them wltfc Iry ashes. Rake them into the soli ;oth ways. A dessert spoonful of seed s sufficient to produce plants enough or any ordinary family; but if it Is de- irable to raise them on a larger scaie or market, the best toil on the farm nould be chosen, and' If not rich uough, use well-rotted barnyard ma ure and make It so. The land should vs well prepared and marked off three et both ways. And where the marxs .terccct make a 1 at hill of fine soil, ,1 winch drop eight or ten seeds and .er very lightly with fine soil. Should .ore plants appear than is necessary, in to one plaut. This method is sel la adopted by farmers, but it saves ucr by dispensing with making beds .d transplanting. 1 have tried four itieues of late cabbage the Flat uich. the Drumhead, the Mammoth .d the Marblehead, which I prefer to 1 others, as the heads are more firm .U solid. But for planting as above jested more seed is necessary, .-out eight ounces is sufficient to plant . acie. As soon as the plants appear .ovc the surface, so as to be plainly en, skim lightly with the hoe. When ey Leeome more stocky run the cul vator between the rows and follow hi the bee, drawing the soil to the nt. If cultivated in this manner O' generally head well; but under e most favorable circumstances some its are slow in heading. In such ?cs I have used fine table salt, by .inkling it in the heads it will sift 1. n between the leaves and the dews .il rains will dissolve it. I have .ver seen a plant fail to head after .us being treated. The insect cne-' .ies are of four kinds. The first to jmmence their ravages Is the flea that jck3 the juice as soon as the plants ;lear above the ground. A mixture i equal parts of soot and lime will rive them away.

Many of them may be .ught and destroyed by placing small locks or ends of boards near the ;ants, under which they will burrow t protect themselves from the rays of e sun. By lifting the blocks they .ay be destroyed.

The Massachusetts Gypsy moth com mittee held a meeting to consider the best way of dealing with the enw ene my, but not much can be done now be cause all the funds of the committee were appropriated exclusively ior fighting the gypsy moth.

The Dark Caatteent. Africa comprise nearly 11,520,000 A New Moth Invasion. A new and disastrous Insect pest has made Its appearance In Massachusetts .nd is causing a sensation in the state. .t is of a caterpillar species, and is a . oracious feeder on the foliage of trees, .leleiably fruit trees. The following tatement has been Issued by Prof. C. :. Fernald. entomologist to the Hatch Apenmcnt station at the Massachu-t-tts Agricultural College: "It s my unpleasant duty to call atten ion to the presence of an Injurious in ject rest, which Is committing great ln ary to the fruit trees in Cambridge nd Scmerville, and which has been mistaken for the Gypsy moth by the itizens in that locality. I have care ul!y examined the caterpillars of this nsect. sent to me by my assistants on he Gypsy moth work, and find them to .je a common European species, known :n England by the name of the Brown .ail moth teuproctis chrysorrhoea), trhirh is widely distributed In the old world, and which is very injurious 10 fruit and foreign trees. I have before me a copy of the law enacted in Belgium, many years ago, requiring the land owners to clear this insect from the trees and giving the best methods of accomplishing this wark. Similar Iaw3 were enacted In France and other Eu ropean countries at a much earlier date. The insect is now in the cater pillar state and Its destructive capa bilities are abundantly shown by the defoliated pear trees along Somervllle avenue and adjacent streets. The adult moth Is white, with a dense red dish brown tuft of hair near the end of the body and the wings expand about men and a half. These moths fly chiefly In the night and lay their eggs In July In clusters of about 200 or 300 on the under side of the leaves, in a short time 'the eggs hatch and the young caterpillars spin compact webs at the tips of the branches. Within these webs the caterpillars spend the winter, emerging early in May, when they commence to feed voraciously on the foliage. The caterpillars are quite hairy, dark brown, with a row of white spots along each side. I Go not know how this insect came to this country, tat as there are nurseries and green nouses In the Immediate vicinity of the Infested area, where foreign plants have been handled to a considerable extent, it is quite possible tnat me pest Keplag- Vp Calves. The practice of keeping calves housed the first summer of their lives Is be coming more and more general each year among progressive dairymen and beef raisers. Those who are endeavor ing to find profit In either of those branches of stock raising are finding out that protection from heat, flies, and dried' pasture is about the cheapest and most effective plan to adopt. No doum one principal reason why more calves are riot housed, says Farmers' Advo cate, Is that It would Involve a certain amount of regular labor In the shape of "chores" which so many object to In ihe summer season; but unless we take a lively, practical, and sclf-sacrlflclng Interest in cur business In these tlaes we cannot hope to reach the goal 0! greater profits In our business. The wide-awake and enterprising competi tors who do things because they should be done and not draw the line at a point where an undertaking adds to or j takes from u little of present personal Mimfcrt. are the ones that wear the hopeful expression today and declare that the times are mending. There is no question lu the minds of those who have tried both plans but that Indoor summering has great advantages over pasturing after the third week in June. Sj far as turning the calves out a few weeks on the fresh pasture before the heat and files become harmful Is con cerned, there can be no great disad vantage, provided the calves are not less than six or seven weeks old and the pasture Is abundant and of good quality. Perfect liberty at mis ume, along with fresh grass or clover, skim m!lk. and a lick of oat chop, oil cake, or the like, will start the youngsters in the way to be profitable feed consum ers. So long as these favorable condi tions exist In the pasture lot there is no advantage In making changes, but when the time comes that a cool, darh stable and mown clover or oats and taies would give the calves greatei comfort, just at that time should such conditions be administered. This is more particularly applicable to calves that are to become beeiers, Decause we want to sell for money some time in the future every pound of gain out feed has made and not allow any of it to be lost after being once beneath the skin. With dairy calves rapid develop ment, when of a muscular character, U very Important. A stunted animal is always much less profitable thin it would have been bad Its growth been continuous, because its digestion will be stronger and it will become a larger, better-looking beast, with greater ca pacity for service. Purchasing Bees. This Is one of the puzzles to the be ginner, when to buy. All things con sidered, I think the spring the best time. In the hands of the master, it might pay to buy in the fall, as they can be bought much cheaper then. But a novice would not know whether they were in proper condition to winter suc cessfully or not, or what to do In case they were not, or how to prepare them in case they needed special attention preparatory to going into winter quar ters. But by purchasing in the spring, even though they cost a dollar per col ony more, there is no risk to run, for with a reasonable season they will pay for themselves, and there will be some thing left. I would advise buying as near home as possible, to save express charges, as It is very difficult to ship small lots of bee3 by local freight. If you feel timid about handling them, I should advise buying pure Italians, as they are more quiet than the blacks or hybrids; but if you are not. I would not pay larger prices for any particular strain you may see advertised in the bee journals. The honey gathered by the blacks and hybrids Is just as sweet, and the quantity just as great as that gathered by the high-toned or high priced races, and no bee on earth builds such delicate combs or caps its honey with such virgin whiteness as the poor, despised black bee. I would advise, it possible, to buy full, strong colonies, and wherever you may live.I should ad vise having them moved or shipped about the time apple trees blossom. Make your purchase as early as pos sible, but don't be in a hurry to have them moved; they are much better where they are until settled warm weather has come to stay, and the blos soms are producing nectar. Perhaps some 'of you don't feel able to buy strong colonies; if not, you can buy two, three or four-frame uuciei for less money and at less cost of transporta tion. These you can build up during the season, and make good colonies of them by fall, but you could not reason ably expect much Increase In number, or much surplus honey, while, on the other hand, with strong colonies you can double your spring count, and with a good season and good management get enough surplus honey to pay for the colonies you buy in the spring. I advise beginners to make haste slowly, and make the bees pay their way every season; then should you meet with win ter losses you will be nothing out but your time, and will have your expe rience, hives and combs left to begin with another spring, all 01 which you will find valuable.
