BRAVE FIGHT FOR HER YOUNG
Mother Spider Knew No Fear When
It Was a Question of Saving the
Little Ones.
Crossing a field the other day I
came upon a large female spider of
the hunter family, carrying a round
white sack of eggs, half the size of a
cherry, attached to her spinnerets.
Plucking a long stem of herd's grass
I detached the sack of eggs without
bruising It. Instantly the spider turned
and sprang at the grass stem, fighting
and biting until she got to the sack,
which she seized in her strong jaws
and made off with It as fast as her
rapid legs would carry her.
I laid the Btem across her back and
again took the sack away. She came
on for it again, fighting more fiercely
than before. Once more she seized it;
once more I forced It from her Jaws,
while she sprang and bit at the grass
stem to annihilate it.
The fight must have been on for
two minutes, when by a regrettable
move on my part, one of her legs was
Injured. She did not falter in her
light. On she rushed for the sack as
fast as I pulled It away. The mother
In her was rampant.
She would have fought for that
sack, I believe, until she had not one
of her eight legs to stand on, had I
been cruel enough to compel her It
did not come to this, for suddenly.the
■ack burst, and out poured a myriad
of tiny brown splderlings.
Before I could think, that mother
had rushed among them and caused
them to Bwarm upon her, covering
her, many deep, even to the outer
joints of her long legs—so deep that
I could not now have touched her
with a needle exoept at the risk of
crushing the young. I stood by and
watched her slowly move oft with her
encrusting family to a place of safety.

Unladylike Cow.
"Treat the cow as a lady," Is the
advice of a distinguished Wisconsin
dairyman. Elmer Peterson, editor of
the Cimarron Jacksonian, replies:
“We own a cow, so this advice la
very interesting. When we go to wa
ter her, she lunges at the bucket and
worries It all over the lot. When we
bring her dainty repast of corn, chop
and bran, It takes expert manipula
tion to get by and shove the feed into
the manger without being trampled
to death or kicked through the side
of her boudoir. When we milk, In the
summer, she seems to have the idea
that all the flies are on our face and
obligingly tries to switch them oft.
In the winter, when there are no
flies, she swats us In the eye from
force of habit. Every once In a while
■he gracefully sidesteps and stands
on our foot. If the gentleman from
Wisconsin means people should not
be cruel to the cow, we are with him;
but we maintain that no true lady
will act like a cow, and as long as
our cow acts like she does, we’ll be
blamed If we’ll treat her like a lady."
