CROW CLUTCHING.
How Hoosier Farmers Trap the
) Canning Bird.
Caught While Trying to Rescue
a Captured Comrade.
Indiana farmers in the back districts
have a novel and effective way of
trapping crows. To trap in this way
the trapper must first ratoh a crow
nlive, which is generally done by
crippling one with fine shot. The live
crow is the trail. IIo is placed on his
back in the field and fastened in that
position by driving a forked stick
deep in the ground over each wing,
near the body. Tho crow's feet have
free piny, and there is no embargo put
on his lungs. Any one who knows
anything about crows knows that the
moment one is hurt or iu trouble it
makes the fact knosvn by loud aud
peculiar cries.
There may not have been another
crow seen or beard in the locality for
hours, but in less than half a minute
after the injured crow gives its cry of
distress crows will come scurrying in
from nil points of tho compass,
answering the signals of distress with
emphatic and assuring caws. The
moment the distressed crow is dis¬
covered by the others they swoop
down upon it, and, uiiltss it is held in
duress by some trap or contrivance of
the enemy so it can’t be removed, benr
it away to a place of safety, where it
is nursed back to soundness and health.
Crows are not often deluded into
falling into ordinary traps, but once in
a while one will get his foot unawares
into a steel trap set for something else.
In answer to his cries his rescuing
companions have been known to get
enough of the flock’s beaks and claws
to bear on the trap to carry it off with
its prisoner. How they have succeed¬
ed in releasing him from this trap af¬
terward no ono knows.
The live crow fastened by his
wings on bis back on the ground be¬
comes at once tlie only sure and
never-failing crow trap ever tried.
He sends forth the most distressing of
cries, and along comes a flock ol yell¬
ing crows in response to them. They
pounce down upon the postrate bird
to rescue lmn. The bound crow’s
claws and leg* arc free to play at the
bird’s will. In liis desperation ho
clutches the first crow tliat sweeps
within his reach. lie not only
clutches, but lie holds on like grim
death.
Some one is always in hiding near
by, and tlie moment tlie decoy crow
fastens on and makes a victim of the
crow that would befriend him the
watcher hurries to the scene aud cap¬
tures the captive’s captive. This crow
is in turn made a decoy in another part
of (he field, and he isn’t long in fasten¬
ing on to a victim from among his
would-be rescuers.
In ten minutes after the first crow
is set a farmer lias no'difficulty in get¬
ting half a dozen other trapg in opera¬
tion, all doing steady and infallible
work on their excited and philan¬
thropic brethren. The farmer may
set as many crows as lie likes, for after
getting his first one the supply will
last as long as there is a free crow in
the neighborhood, Imt half a dozen of
these yelling and clutching traps, well
set, will depopulate any average crow
settlement iu the course of a day or so.
Canning as the crow is, be throws
his canning all to the winds at sight
of a comrade in distress, and even so
far loses his bond under such circuin-
stances as to fly to the rescue of a
wing-bound crow in a field after hav¬
ing been made a trap of himself, as a
crow will sometimes manage to work
his fastenings loose in the ground by
his struggles and escape. One farmer
says he has, with only five of tiieso
traps, day. caught ninety-six crows in half
a
Some of the Hoosier small boys of
the rural districts acquire such dexter¬
ity as crow clutchers that they are
able to earn big wages in their efforts
to make the big black bird extinct.
Their method is to Jio close along the
side of some old log at the edge of a
wood, covering all but their eyes and
one hard with leaves. Then, by a
remarkably exact imitation of a
wounded crow,tinly goon bring a score
or more of the excited birds swooping
about the log. A smart boy cau easily
clutch a half dozen or more of the
crows before they discover him, and
they arc worth ten cents apiece to
him.—[New York Sun.
A Painter Without Arms aud Hands.
In the Rhenish provinces lives an
artist without hands and arms—Adam
Siepen—who lias completed a beautiful
painting by means of bis right foot.
He has remarkable talent, and can
write or paint with his foot as well as
anyone usually does with the band.
Much walking, however, injures bis
delicacy of touch, and so he uses a
specially corstructed vehicle. His last
picture received a prize at the Dussel-
dorf exhibition.—[Picayune.

HOE CABBAGE VRELft KNTI.Y.
The cabbage crop not only requires
rich land, but frequent cultivation.
Even if there arc no weeds visible,
stirring the ground makes more plant
food available. This is especially true
after the surface is crusted by heavy
rains. Even when the weather is dry
it will promote rapid growth to hoc
the cabbage plant early enough iu the
morning to brush the night’s dew into
tlie newly stirred soil. Dew is always
rich in ammonia.—[Boston Cultiva¬
tor.
noon supports for pea vines.
Light lmrdle-frnmes filled with wire
netting arc a neat and hardy support
for peas, which climb and adhere to
them admirably. But for tlie heavier
tomato vines nothing seems to ho so
tidy, simple and fafe as to set an eight-
foot stake to each plant and tie tlie ad¬
vancing stem to it, keeping it erect.
All side- shoots should be pinched ofi
as soon ns they appear, leaving only
the one terminal shoot, and choosing
the one that bears a blossom. This
improves the fruit, involves no labor
or trouble, and is every way very grati¬
fying in result. A chi Id who learns
thus to train a tomato plant will soon
know how to train woody vines and
plants. — [New York Observer.
TO PREVENT FOWLS FROM CROWDING.
To prevent fowls crowding on the
perches when at roost, place all the
perches on a level and two to four feet
from the tloor in the lien house, Use
a wide plank with cleats nailed across
it, for a ladder to assist heavy birds to
reach tho perch without flying, it is
quite natural for the fowls to seek the
highest perch in tlie house—hence the
crowding; hut if all are on the same
level this will be obviated. Hound
poles, from which the bark ha9 been
peeled in spring, make excellent
perches, but they should be about three
inches in diameler; then when the
fowl sit; down her feet will bo covered
by tlie feathers on her brerst and kept
warm during cold nights in winter.
Fowls that arc forced to roost on
perches not more than one or two
inches in diameter are very likely to
have distorted breast bones.—[New
York bun.
THICK-WINDED HORSES.
There is really no cure for thick-
windedness in horses, it is due to
several causes, and most of which are
of a permanent nature. The condi-
tion ntiy, however, be ameliorated by
attention to the horse s diet. Huch a
one should not be fed on dry or bulky
food, lhc best upland or wild prairie
bay, and such especially which contains
plenty of the to cal red rosin-weed,
should be selected, ar.d it should be
shaken and freed from dust, or slight-
ly sprinkled with sailed wa'er before
given to the horse. It should be fed
only in small quantities, aud it would
be best to cut it, and give it mixed
with ground feed, and wetted. Mich a
horse should not be used for any work
faster than a walk, especially not im-
mediately after having been fed and
watered.— [Prairie Farmer.
RED DEPOSIT IN MIEK.
The red substance often found at
the bottom of milk pairs consists of
the red disks of blood, or, as it is
called, tlie red corpuscles, which have
escaped in tho gccretiou of the milk,
Milk always contains some of these,
and they give tire yellow color to the
cream. Hod is only an intensified yel-
low. for when tho blood is examined
under a microscope it appears yellow,
because of the wider separation
these so-called red bodies.
Thus in ncwiy-ealved cows the first
milk, known as colostrum, is intensely
yellow, anti has at times even a red¬
dish tinge from (he abundance of this
coloring matter derived from blood.
And when this is in excess in the milk,
being heavier than lire milk on the
cream, it settles to the bottom of the
pan. It does not injure the cream
at all, and only the milk to tho fancy
of a person. It generally disappears
in course of lime. Otherwise, a cool¬
ing laxative, by which the excitement
of the cow’s system may be reduced,
as an ounce of hyposulphite of soda or
eight ouuces of epsont salts may be
given.
Some young cows have tills habit in¬
curably, end tho whole milk is blood
or very similar to it, so that tire calves
will not drink it. This lias happened
with Jersey heifers, a breed in which
the coloring matter of the milk is in
excess of that from other cows, giving
a strong probability to tho above hy¬
pothesis as to the cause.— [New York
Times.
POSSIBLE PROFIT FROM POULTRY.
A carefully kept account, for one
year, of 150 fowls showed a net profit
above all expenses of $1.25 each. 1
used to get almost weary sometimes
gathering live to seven dozen eggs a
day, on the average. None of the
birds were of fancy stock, but com-
mon “barnyard breed,” thoroughly
mixed. The food was varied eon-
siderably, but none of the advertised
forcing material was used.
Milk was relied on largely for ani¬
mal food, Lut some scraps and bones
were given; also constant supply of
lime iu the shape of dam or oyster
shells, powdered. My quarters aro
e>tly ft largo barn-collar, alwayt optu
to the south, and tho range, as far aw
they please to go, which is not far if
well fed, and the injury to crops al¬
most nothing—only hungry fowls and
animals aro likely to be troublesome.
I have no trouble with lice, while
they have two barrels of coal ashes to
roll iu as often as they like tho whole
year round, A dark-colored fowl
will leave tho ash-barrel almost white,
and when she uliakcs herself lice lmvo
a poor show of sticking to her. Tho
farmer, his wife and children have tho
advantage of other people in poultry-
keeping, because of possibilities of
wide range, cleaner quarters, better
water, the farmyard, and green food
in great variety.
Yet it is not on the average farm, I
think, that best success is seen with
fowls. Tlie business seems too small
to demand due attention. Then, tlie
birds, neglected and half fed, do dam¬
age instead of proving profitable,
whereas, a lien under suitable condi¬
tions lays eggs as surely as tlie steam
engine generates steam when heat and
water arc applied.—[New York Trib¬
une.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Always be systematic aud thorough.
Arrange supports for climbing
plants.
Keeping the field clean is better than
making it clean.
Keep tlie fence corners clear of
weeds this month.
Never forget that pigs in clover en¬
joy themselves and grow.
Don t let the wheat stand too long—
you know it shells badly.
A wise farmer profits by bis mis¬
takes as well as his successes.
Oil, and a wrench, are cheap pre¬
servatives of mowers during haying.
Don’t “j a y |iy” flic corn until
obliged to get at the haying or harvest.
As soon as a crop is off put in an¬
other; plow up before weeds go to
seed.
Remember the team enjoys the shade
as well as you while resting these hot
days.
It is useless to expect a large crop
of plump oats on land lacking fer¬
tility.

Soldiers Trained to Swim.
One of tlie features of military drill
in the Russian army is the training of
soldiers to swim in battalions, at the
same time using their weapons. At
the l’ecent annual military manoeuvres
iu tlie presence of the Czar a fine exhi¬
bition of proficiency was given in this
direction. A large force of infantry
swam across a wide lake in full march¬
ing order, with the help of fascines
made of reeds and rushes or of inflated
sheepskins. At the same time they
kept up a lively fire on the boats of a
supposed euemr, who were disputing

Shamrock.
In Ireland only one shamrock is
known, it is an indigenous species of
clover, which trails along the ground
among the meadows, The trefoil
leaves are not more than one-fourth
the size of the smallest clover I have
seen in America, and are pure green
in color without any of the brown
shading of white ami pink clovers.
The creeping stem is hard aud fibrous,
and is difficult to dislodge from the
earth.
On St. Patrick’s Day tlie true sham¬
rock lias to bo searched out from

Palm Wine.
Most of tlie palm tribe contain a sap
which is rich in saccharine matter, and it
is from this sweet juice that palm wine—
or, as it is sometimes called, “toddy”—
is prepared. At least two methods
of obtaining this sap appear to be gener¬
Pacific ally employed. In the islands of the
the spathe or flowing head of the
palm tree is bound up tightly with sennit
aud then ctlt. The sap exudes from the
wound, and is caught in a cocoanut shell
suspended ......'L underneath. When the *1 juice
ceases to . drop, another piece . is . cut . oil tne ,
the spathe, a ficsh quantity is obtained and
process is repeated Until the spathe is
entirely removed, boon, however, a new
flowering head is formed above the old
one, and this, when sufficiently grown,
is treated in exactly the same manner.
Oil the west const of Africa the sari 1 is
obtained ,11 by making , • an incision * • just , , be-
low the crown of leaves with which a
palm tree is surmounted. The incision
slopes upwards and inwards, and the
juice which exudes is conducted by a
small piece of bamboo into a gourd or
vessel placed underneath tne wound,
The sugar ° which the sap 1 contains is ex-
actly n .. r tlie 4 i same ^ kind • yielded • ii r t by the . i
# as is
sugar-cane. In some countries, therefore,
the palm juice is boiled down after proper
treatment, and furnishes a sugar which,
when refined, can not be distinguished
from the best produce of the West India
Islands. In other countries the sap is
allowed to ferment spontaneously—a
change which occurs very quickly in hot
countries—the sugar is thereby converted
into alcohol, aud the liquid acquires in¬
toxicating properties.
Aluminium.

The metal has the appearance of silvery
zinc: it does not tarnish, and besides its
lightness, . possessed j of ,. great tensile .
is
strength. For a long time its use was
limited, owing not only to its price, but
to the impossibility of soldering it. This
last difficulty has now been obviated; and
improvements in the method of its manu¬
facture will in time to come make it com¬
pete with the cheapest metals for a num¬
ber of useful purposes.
New Oil Discovery.
A topic of much interest is a report
just received from Kentucky of the (Vs-
covery of a mineral oil near Bowling
Green, in that State. The oil as it comes
from beautiful the ground is very transparent, of a
tirely pale pink color. Although gives en¬
odorless when cold, it forth,
when heated, a delicious perfume re¬
sembling attar of roses. It burns slowly
and gives a clear, steady light. A pecu¬
liar thing about this oil is that, when con¬
sumed, there remains on the bottom oT
the vessel a number of hard, minute stone-
colored particles, which explode with in¬
credible force when dropped in water.
Care of Parrots.
As a rule parrots arc confined in cages
which are often too small to allow theiv
tails, turning about without injuring their
and every time a parrot touches his
tail against his will it vexes and worries
him. Hence the proverbial ill-temper of
parrots. If they had their liberty for so
long every day, they would be found as
sweet-tempered and affectionate as any other bird, and
most true to those they
love.
