Fawn Cbaxted by Dops. A fawn is a young deer. I will tell you a true story of one. On a bright summer day last year, a fawn lay nibbling the tender grass on the border of a wood in Oregon, She lay there at ease, as if there-were no cause for fear, for the birds sang on the trees, and under the blue sky floated the clouds, with their white, shining folds turned out to catch the rays-of the sun. All at once the little fnwn started to her feet and pricked up her ears.

What did she hear? Ah! it wns something more than the sweet twitter of birds, it was the barking of dogs who had scented her track, and were in full pursuit. Off started the little fawn, and it was well she ran swiftly, for soon three" fierce dogs that had strayed from a farm near by rushed from the woods into the clearing, and by their fierce barking made' her heart beat. From the clearing she ran into a grove where the trees grew high and thick; but the dogs followed close on her path, and she saw they were gaining on her fast. Now it happened that Silas Mason was at work squaring timber near his log hut on the the grove. As his raised axe descended into the timber, he heard the barking of dogs, and, looking up, -saw the beautiful young fawn galloping up towards him.

The next moment the three dogs made, then? appearance. Seizing a stout stick, Silas beat them off, and as soon as they were out of sight he and saw the fawn standing by the timber, her dark eyes sparkling and her neck.outstretched as if to be sure that her enemies had gone. By a strange instinct the fawn seemed to know at once that Silas was her friend, and that but for him she would have been torn in pieces. She let him come to her and pat her on the head, and then watched him curiously as he brought water to her in a She took both water and food from his hands, and did not seem at all afraid. See what kindness will do, even to an untamed animal.

For the rest of the day the fawn stayed near her protector, and seemed happy in his presence. But the next morning -she had disappeared. Perhaps she went to seek brothers and sisters in the woods. Some one said to Silas: "Whydidn't you shoot her for venison?" "What!" cried Silas, "betray the confidence of a poor dumb animal, of one who had run to me for help from. her enemies No; I would sooner have gone without IBV dinner for a than have harmed that little fawn after she had asked me, by her looks, to protect- her.

So good man will betray Uncle Charles. A Mbockittff Eel. "Captain John," said "didn't you tell me that you sometimes brought wild animals in our ship from South America?" "Oh, yes," said he, "I brought one of the electric eels that was ever carried to New York. I got it in Para, Brazil, and I bought it of some Indians for twelve six dollars of our money. We had lots of trouble with this fellow, for these eels live in fresh and, if we had not had plenty of rain on the voyage, we couldn't have kept him alive, for the water he was in had to.be changed every day.

We kept him on deck in a water-barrel, which lay-on its side in its chocks, with "a square hole cut though the staves on the upper side to give the creature light and air. When we changed the water, a couple of sailors took hold of the barrel and turned it partly over, while another held a straw broom against the hole to keep the eel from coming out. We would always kuoic when the water had nearly run for then the eel lay against the lower staves, and even-the wood of the barrel would be so charged with electricity that the sailors could hardly "hold on to the ends of the barrel. They'd let go with one hand and take hold with, the other, and then they'd let go with that and change again. At first I didn't believe that the fellows felt the eel's shocks in this way; but, when I took hold myself one day, Ifound they weren't shamming at all.

Then we turned the barrel back and filled it. up with fresh water, and started the eel off for another day. "He got along first-rate, and kept well and hearty through the whole of the voyage. When- we New. York anchored at quarantine, and the health officer came aboard.

There has been such a demand made upon western Pennsylvania for draught horses the past few years' that farmers who have been enough to breed heavy, horses have found it decidedly to their advantage when their stock was brought to market. The supply is not yet up to the demand for field'to wheat, seeding with red clover, and the wheat and' clover there were as far ahead of the rest of the field as bad been the corn, and kept its own from that time on.

Withthis little problem before me I went to experimenting, and from that time forward I plowed under ho more manure except green, clover, and for experiment. Brother farmers, prepare your manure well and mix thoroughly with the soil after plowing, and give surface manuring a fair test by the side of both deep and shallow plowing in, and know far yourselves. I think well of the practice of hauling crude manure out in whiter direct from the stables. The frosts and snows will take good care of it, but the finer crude or other manure is made the better. There is a snug little argument done up in that casual remark of Geddes not long since in the Tribune, when speaking of cutting his straw that is used for bedding in the stables.

It not only makes a much better absorbent, but greatly helps manipulation. But with all that man can do he cannot make a soil equal to that received at the hand of Nature. What is Nature's process?

The scene of the inundation is said to be indescribable. heavy draught horses, and we see as result that there is a tendency on the' part of breeders to meet this demand. The question with the average farmer and breeder is not so muchas to what he may prefer, but what is the most advantageous, the most profitable horse to breed. For ordMary farming purposes in a comparatively level country, a horse weighing 1,200 pounds is perhaps in most respects the most desirable animal. But as farmers raise four or five times as many horses as they themselves use, the question of breeding simply is, what is the most marketable horse In selling cattle to the butcher he pays according to the heavier the steer the higher the price.

Two pounds of beef are worth twice as much as one pound. In draught horses this rule does not hold good, the advantage being on the side of the heavier horse. When a horse sells at $150, or 121 cents a pound, a horse sells at $300, or nearly 18 cents a pound, making a market of 40 per cent, premium over the lighter in favor of the heavier horse. It is not difficult to see, therefore, which is the most advantageous horse to breed for It is simply a question of dollars and cents, and is readily seen by any Pennsylvania Farmer. Seeding to Grass in the Fall.

As a rulej western farmers sow 'but little grass seed in the fall, though the practice is quite common in other parts of the country. In some of the eastern states where there is much snow to pro-, tect the young plants, timothy is generally sown in the early part of the fall, and it makes a good growth before cold weather sets in. Sometimes clover does remarkably well when the seed is sown at the same time. Winters in the west are generally unfavorable to preserving young grass and clover plants, and the ground is ordinarily poor condition to seed down to grass in the early part of the fall. It is often so dry that seed as small as that of grass and clover will not germinate.

If the seed sprouts, the tender stalks are often destroyed by the hot sun and dry air. During the past four years the practice of sowing grass seed on fields as soon as a crop of Hungarian grass or millet has been harvested has become very general in the vicinity of Chicago, and the best results have followed the practice. The seed is sown in the stubble-fields and covered with a light harrow. If there are seasonable rams it comes up in a few days, and the stubble protects it during the The condition of the soil in respect to moisture is very favorable to sowing grass seed in the west, and it likely that much more will be sown with fall grain than is usually the case. the seed is sown on grain stubble, and ths winter is favorable, a good crop of crass can be harvested next season.

It wffl have the start of the weeds in the spring and will in a great measure keep them in check. If seed is sown without grain the spring, however, weeds are liable to take possession of the ground and to keep Chicago Times.

DETKO of the cheapest ways of keeping blackberries is to dry them This can be. done by either drying in the stove, in pans, with a slow fire, or in the sun, by placing a thin layer upon trays, boards, or small riddles made of slats. In either cass the berries should be scattered thin over the surface as soon as possible after picking and allowed to dry 1hor- oughly. If dried in the sun theyshonld be taken in at night or before a shower, so as to keep as dry as possible, as the dew or rain causes them to have a tendency to sour. When thoroughly dry they should be subjected for a few minutes to a higher temperature of heat, so as to kill any larvae of worms and then packed in jars or clean boxes.

Of Coarse It Was Loaded. LEAVESWOBTH, August Another case of fatal wounding by a supposed unloaded pistol occurred yesterday. Two young; men, each about 18, had been playuig ball in a wood- yard. They went into the office, where one of them, Philip Younger, crawled into an adjacent corner. Robert Scott, who works in the yard, went to the desk, and, getting an old-fashioned Colt's revolver, said: "See me scare that chap." He then called out: Come out of there on your head." Younger replied: "IU come out, but not on my headland ste'ppedoutintotheroom.

Scotthadhim covered with the: pistol when he came out, and said: out and at the same instant fired. The ball struck Younger in the abdomen, about four inchef below the navel. Scott exclaimed: MY God! I didn't know the pistol was loaded!" He then got a hack the wounded boy to his home on Delaware Street, after whidi he was arrested bv the police and placed in prison to answer to the charge of criminal carelessness. Youngar says the shooting was PUZZLE.

While they were eating Henry came along and offered them some sandwiches and cold water. But Marietta said: Oh! we do not borrow. With that Henry started off in wrath.
