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. A Short Trip.

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.

Unexplored Lunds. Great tracks of Australia have never been trodden by the foot of a white man, and nearly all of South America, inside of tho coastlines, is known only by hearsay and tradition. Coming up to our northern half of the continent we encounter more unknown lands. Central America and Mexico offer fertile fields for exploration, and Lower California has never been thor¬ oughly explored. In tlie far North is Greenland, Baf¬ fin Land,the great Hudson Bay region, all of British America north of lati¬ tude sixty degrees, and our great ter¬ ritory of Alaska. Here is a wonderful field for adventurous explorers, and it is impossible to predict what is in store for them. The natives of north¬ ern Alaska also report that further north is another land, not down on the maps, ati inhabited land with a com¬ paratively mild climate. — [Boston Cultivator. 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 their CUAIXT AND CURIOUS.

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 among the grass, for, though compara¬ tively plentiful at that season, it grows close to the ground. Later it bears a tiny “whitey-brown” blossom, The information that shamrakh is the Arabic word for trefoil is new' to me, and may be of interest to those inter¬ ested in the origin of the Irish race. The word could have been introduced by the Milesians, or it may furnish an argument in support of the contention that oho of the lost ten tribes of Is¬ rael settled in Ireland, which has been revived by the publication of a recent book.—[Notes and Queries.

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.

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.
