THE WOLVERINE.
A Fierce Animal That Lives Only
in Michigan.
It Has the Characteristics of tho
Wolf and the Bear.
<> Michigan is called tho Wolverine
Stale, but I don’t believe there nro two
dozen persons outside of that Slate that
know what is wolverine is,” said a na.
live of tho Green' Bay region. ‘’Fof
that matter, the pcoplo in Michigan
itself who can toll you what a wolverine
is are in ghty scarce. Why this animal
should bo particularly a resident of tho
Michigan wilderness I do not know-
but I never heard of it being seen or
heard of elsowhere. Tho wolf is it
common nuimal all over the West, or at
least it was before civilization limited
its habitat, aud the black bear is also
found everywhere, in greater or lesi
numbers, 'ihon why should tho wolver¬
ine only liavo made its appearance in
Michigan, whero it wns in tho pioneci
days as pleu y, almost, as the wolf, an I
even now is a dreaded frequenter of tho
woods of tho northern part of tliJ
Stnlc? Tho wolverino is an animal that
has some of the characteristics of tho
wolf, and partakes in other ways of tho
nature of the bear. The old settler) ot
Michigan always insisted that tho ani¬
mal was a cross between those two
beasts, and that is the belief of tho
uorth M chigmi woodsmen today.
When Michigan was admitted into tha
Union the woiveiino was still common,
in fact, infested nil the forests of the
State, and the State was named after
him, owing to some of the character,
istics of tho animal admired by tho
hardy pioneers who hewed a common¬
wealth out of tlie great wilderness they
found about their inland sea.
“It is a singular fact that no museum
or zoological gardcu lias ever yet had a
specimen of this unique member of the
animal kingdom. 1 say it is singulur,
and I do not know that it is cither, foi
She reas.ou they have never exhibited
the wolverine is the great difficulty, not
to say impossibility, of cop uriug it
alivo, or of keeping it alive after it is
captured. They are tho most savage oi
beasts. They havo the ugly temper ot
the wolf, which they rcsemblo in ap¬
pearance, hut in size and savagenoss
they resemble tho bear of tho Western
fastnesses. But while having the size
and savagenoss of tho bear, they excel
him in aggressiveness and feroc-ty. They
do not have his clumsiness. Their wolf¬
ish appcnranco makot tho fact that thoy
are expert and agile tree climbers seem
odd. in lying in Wait for prey they also
resemble tho panther, for thoy will
crouch closely in tho branches or forks
of n tree, and drop down upon
their victim like ouo of tlioso
great members of the cat family. They
will attack a man in this way as readi¬
ly as they would a fawn, and many an mi-
wary hunter in tho Michigan wood b
has fallen a victim to some hungry and
undiscr-m noting wolvorine, Ti.o
claws of this strange animnl nro much
longer and sharper than tho bear’s, and
their teeth bigger and more pointed
and curved. Their wariness is raid by
hunters to exceed that of any animal
on the contiuont, and they are soldo »
hunted for the sport of the thing, the
danger being too great, it is only when
a wolverino has made his presence so de¬
structive to the pastures nud shoepfolds
of the backwoods farmers that tho cn.
tire loss of their live stook h feared
that the farmers organize for a raid on
the wolverines, uuialy employing a
number of expert and daring woodsmen
to direct tho htiijt. 1 can’t see for my
self wliat the pioneers of Michigan saw
in this animal to perpetuate its memory
by nickuainiug thoir State after it, but
tho name is there, and Michigan’ will
remain tho Wolverino State long after
the wolverine is extinct.”—JV. Y. Sun.

FOH FARM AND GARDEN.
RAISING GEES IB AND DUCKS.
This is a simple matter, whero thero
are proper conveniences, and markets
for their sale. It is h»rd to raise gec»o
iu confinement, on account of their
roaming propensities, but ducks can be
so raised with profit. Water is not ab¬
solutely necessary to their weifaro, as
many supposo, but is desirable. When
mixed with .other poultry, they are
sometimes troublesome, on account of
their pugnacity. A single stroke of
their strong beak is enough to kill n
full-grown chick .—American Agricul¬
turist.
llUTlNO NEGLECTED FARMS.
In choosing an exhausted or partly
exhausted farm, look well to tho sub¬
soil. If that bo sandy, so that it
loaches what is put on, do not take it
as a gift... Wo have, however, known
heavy lands reported to be run out, and
good for little or nothing, to be bought
at low figures, and in comparatively
few years with a few tho drams made
very valuable. Much depends on loca¬
tion. Tlie higher priced land, near a
large villug! or growing city, may often
show a higher percentage of profit than
lhat further from market. But to make
such land profitable it must bo worked
so skilllully as to return tho interest on
money expended, and tlie taxes, which
near cities are usually heavy. —American

There is no business iu tho world
that requites ns perfect knowledge as
thorough training, or tho combination
of ns many essential qualities, bath tint-
urnl and acquired, to make it successful
as that of breeding horses, To bcctim
so a inau must be able to know a horse.
This docs not m an lie must be able to
know a horse from a street car, or a
draft horse troin a thoroughbred, but
that he mint be uble to tell at a glance
the degree of p:rfection at all points
that tlie animal has attained. He must
know what families, crosses and combi¬
nations arc most likely to bring the best
result*, and why they will do so. He
must know how to buy an l handle his
brood mares, how to feed them, and how
to manage them during foaling time.
When he knows all this, and tho foal
is droppod, his troubles have just com¬
menced, for no matter how highly bred
and carefully nurtured it colt may be,
if it is not carefully trained and proper¬
ly developed it becomes almost worth¬
less.
These are only a few of the things
a man must know in order to become a
successful breeder, and yet theso few
cannot be picked up in a day, or a
year, but can only be arquirod after
long and practical training aud study,
aud not even then unless he has some
natural ability in that direction .—The
Horse.
DRILLING OATS.
Experience is against tlie use of tho
drill in seeding oats. As tho drill was
developed earlier than the broadcast
seeder, there were bettor reasons for
drilling oats than there are now.
Broadcast seeders do the work so well,
and can be bad at such moderate prices
that it is unnecessary to drill the grain
to havo it evenly distributed, evoa in
windy weather. Harrows have been so
much improved that broadcasted grain
may bo nicely covered on any ground
properly prepared. Tho drills are very
useful for fall whua’, as riha snow is
better held over tho plants, nu l r thc
ridge3 crumble down on tho rods
heaved out by frost. But, manifestly,
these benefits cahoot accrue ’to oats.
Oats require all the moisture t hey can
get, and nil the root-shading tjio plant
will give duriu ; tho latter two-thirds
of their period of growth; mii mois¬
ture ii better retained iu the
soil, and the roots are better shaded,
when the plants stand at comparatively
uniform distances, and tlie surfaoo is
made level, than when tlie plants are
placed in drills, and tho surface is
thrown up into ridges. To use tho
drill satisfactorily, tho ground must bo
put in good condition; and this prob¬
ably explains why there is frequently a
belter yield from drilling. We do not
know of n case whero Broadcisting aud
drilling oats were tested side by side
for several years, that the broadcastiug
did not give tho better aggregate re-
I uru. The farmer is uot a lv.se 1 n wer
to dr 11 oats; but it wohld certainly be
I wet to make the trail ou a bunted scale
for throe hr four y:vrs, at least, until
the superiority of drilling is proven.—

cool) AND POOR I1KKF.
It ccitaiuly would not bo much out
of tho way to say that there is a wider
range in the quality of beef cattle and
dressed beef now offered for fhIc thnu
ever before in our liistary. It is undo-
niab'c that great improvement has been
made in beef production during tho
past few years. Tho art of broedi ng
and feeding ha3 reached a satisfactory
stage of development to those who avail
themselves of it; the trouble lies in tlie
fact that intelligent practitioner* of the
art arc too few. There can bo found
now iu auy first-class market some of
the best specimens of beef carcasses the
world ever saw, while one does uot
have to search far to find as poor, if not
the poorest, specimens that herd or
stable ever turned out, The extremely
poor, however, is probably only ap-
parently so, it i* the contrast with the
choicest article that emphasises the in-
feriority.
This marked difference in the quality
of bocf would undoubtedly bo a revela¬
tion to many farmers if thoy could soe
it. It is as marked as the difference
between tho best and the poorest quality
of woolen goods, for instance, found on
thoir merchants’ shelves. There is this
distinction, however: Tho maker of
tho poorost woolen goods may make as
large u percentage of profit as he who
makes tho best; while the maker of the
poorest beef probably pays as much
for its manufacture as ho who makos
tho best. This consideration shows
the importance of making high class
beef; shows, in fact, tho absolute ne¬
cessity of it. Low pricod beef should
bo no justification for making poor
beef. Economy lies in tho cheapest
possible production in relation to prico,
and that is found in making the best
beef, for it costs but little, if any,
more thnu the pooreit —Farm , Stock
and llovie.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Plant enough other stuff to live on if
your wheat crop happens to fail.
When a farmer buys a thiug ho can
produce as cheaply ho is running oppo¬
sition to himself.
Put your pear orchard on high
ground, and it will not be as likely to
be troubled with the scab.
The mulberry is not a profitable crop
to grow for the market, but ono or
more trees are good to have for home
use.
Nothing on tho farm pays better than
a good garden, It furnishes fresh
fruits and vegetables isad promotes
health.
“Try all things and hold fust that
which is good.” This is specially ap¬
plicable to the seeds which you propose
to plant or sow.
One hundred fowls will produce ma¬
nure enough when careiully saved, to
top dress ono acre of grass or fertilize
two acre* of corn.
If you want hens and puliets to quit
laying, turn them out early in the
morning on (lie frozen grass. It is an
infallablo remedy.
Coal ashes, although of no particular
value as a fertilizer, will be found ben¬
eficial when applied to light, sandy
soils. They certainiy assist such soils
in retaining moisture.
Onions fed iu moderate quantities
his kind of weather, once or twice a
week, are good for health. Tuis menus
eggs, and when spring comes eggs arc
in good demand for hatching purposes.
The belief that a hog will thrive on
any kind of feed, if he has an abun¬
dance of it, and tho shiftless, reckless
way of feeding practiced by many, are
the immediate and sole causes of much
of the disease that prevails among
swine.
Fresh hardwood ashes are worth for
tiie orchard fully as much as six times
their weight in fresh horse manure, and
other ashes have a corresponding value.
The addition of salt to ashes is said to
s:ill further increase their fertilizing
properties.
Feeding oats in tho sheaf is becoming
a commou practice. This saves the la¬
bor of threshing, and ceriainly saves
considerable labor in feeding also.
Oats are very cheap this year, and both
stockmen and hoiscmen should feed
them liberally.
Even the common fowls around the
farmyards that havo been intermixed
more or less in all directions with the
imported Asiatics incidentally are now
frequently met with half as large again,
as tho raco generally wero known to be
a score of years ago.
A poor lot of corn-stalks are better
off in the barnyard than iu a cow’s
stomach. Cutting such fodder is a
useless expend it to of labor. These
sialks thrown on the ground will be
completely worked over into good ma-
nuro by the trampling of tho stock.
Every time you sell a ton of good
hay you rob your meadow of 36 pounds
of nitrogen, 31 pounds of potash and
12 pounds of phosphoric acid. It is
much bettor to feed this to stock and
sell tho stock, returning tho manure to
the soil. Even then tho animal carries
away a valuable portion of your farm.

A Diamond Potato Field.
Farmer Bowles, of E istbampton, L.

had a largo mortgage about ripe, and
was wondering how he could raise the
money to pay it off, as it could uc

ter ho went into his cellar and sorted
his potatoes, some of them already
sprouting, under the impression that it
was spriug iustcad of wiuter.
While cutting out one of thess sprouts

stance, which the gaol farmer dug out
in a leisurely way and put in his pocket
without the flourishes he would have
made had he known it was a diamond.
lie found it out later when he went

the stone to a merchant, who at ono

jeweller's for satisfaction. They went,
aud the merchant's opinion was corrob¬
orated with an offer of $2000 cash for
the jewc 1 .
The farmer did not accept the offer,
harJly knowing what to do under the
circumstances. If he could only know
how the diamond got into tho potato he
would feel better about it. Not know¬
