CLEVER BIRDS AND ANIMALS
Magpies arid Cats Possess Unusual In
tellect—Interesting Tale of
•7'
Kitten and Tom Cat.
Magpies are as clever as they are
noisy. One was offered an extinguish
ed cigar stump which it began to tear
apart. But apparently changing its
mind, the bird proceeded to rub the
stump, held in its beak, over every
part of Its body, including the wings,
In a most careful and methodical man
ner. The experiment was subsequent
ly repeated many times, always with
the same result. The magpie Is so
fond of tobacco that it repeatedly has
snatched a lighted cigar from a man's
hand against, his will. It also picks
up fallen cigar ashes and strews them
over its feathers.
It is thought that these actions
have a purpose, the destruction of par
asites, and are determined by atavism,
or inherited instinct. In the wild
state some unidentined plant must
have been used as an insecticide In
stead of tobacco. The magpie's action,
furthermore, seems to be an unques
tionable instance of tne use of tools
by a lower animal.
Cats, teo, are famously clever. A
kitten about six months old was taken
to a house a few miles from its birth
place, confined in a room, and tender
ly cared for during a week, and then
set at liberty. It wns supposed to
have become accustomed to its new
surroundings, bu* it returned to its
tld home on the day of its release.
The sense of locality and direction
was exhibited still more strikingly by
an old torn cat \ftiich was stolen and
carried a distance of 20 miles, con
fined in a bag. The cat was imprison
ed, but made its. escape, and in a few
days reappeared in a pitiable state
at the home of its former master,
which was separated from that of the
thief by a high wooded cliff

WAYS OF CATCHING MONKEYS
Filipino Natives Have Decidedly In*
teresting MetHwd of Capturing
3M Lazy Little Animals.
In the Philippine Islands the na
tives catch monkeys In .a curious
way.
The monkeys are fond of the meal
of cocoanuts, which grow as plenti
fully there as apples do in our coun
try. They are lazy, though, aboui
gnawing through the outer bark, and
will only do so when exceedingly hun
gry. The natives take advantage oi
their greed and indolence by cutting
a small opening through the shell, just
large enough for Mr. Monkey's long,
thin hand to penetrate.
When he once gets inside, he gets
his hands full of delicious, dainty
meat, and his hand is naturally wi
der in this act than when it entered.
Finding his hand will not come out
the monkey chatters and scolds, plain-'
ly showing his indignation at the way
he has been trapped, but never think$
of loosening his hold on the cocoas
nut and withdrawing his hands as eas
ily as he put it in. There he stands
an angry monkey, until the man wt
act the cocoanut trap comes and take
him captive.

PERCHERONS FOR FARM WORK
!Two
8tallions
and Two Marea of Pure
Bred Type Used on Big Manure
Spreader In Virginia.
(Br a M. CUNTON.)
A little over a year ago I paid a
visit to a breeding farm in the fa
moufl "Valley of Virginia," where Per
cheron horses were raiBed, and was
struck with the fact that this breed
,possessed admirable qualities as farm
horses, as well as oity drafters.
Two stallions and two mares were
working on a big manure-spreader,
being all driven by one man. These
superb animals were pure-bred Per
cherons, and averaged 1,860 each.
The young stallions were easily man
aged, although they were being used
in the Btud.
The mares were splendid specimens
of the breed, and it was a great sight
to see theee four magnificent animals
working quietly together.
The compactness of body, the
cleanness of limb and the splendid
structure of their feet, all go to make
the Percheron popular, both as a
farm horse and a city drafter.
For farm work they do not need to
weigh 1,850, as did those four pure
breeds just mentioned, these being
•41
Stallion* and Marea.
used permanently tor breeding pur
poses, although they did quite a lot
of work around the farm during the
year.
A pair of horses weighing from
1,400 to 1,500 poundB each are heavy
enough for any kind of farm work,
but many farmers prefer a horse with
more weight.
In considering the size of a farm
team, it is well to remember before
the purchase is made what the regu
lar duties of the team are to be for
many farmers who need only one pair
of horses will want to use them on
the road for wagon work as well as to
hook up to the carriage on Sundays.
Therefore, they will not require ex
tra heavy ones, but rather a pair that
are known as "all around" horses, and
If these weigh 1,400 to 1,500 pounds
each they will have plenty of size,
and If they are well shaped and have
spirit and snap, they will do good
Toad work.
It is surprising how much depends
on the shape and carriage of a horse,
even an ordinary work horse, espe
cially when you want him to do a lit
tle pleasuring with once in a while.
VACUUM CLEANER FOR HORSE

In this era of vacuum cleaners for
buildings, cars and Blmllar things it
Is to be expected that the principle
should be adapted to other cleaning
purposes. Few people, however,
would think, as a Philadelphia man
did, of applying it to horses. This
man has hltohed a curry-comb and
brush to the vacuum tank, each being
hollow, of course, and screwing on
the pipe as needed. Where hereto
fore the hostler had to sorub the
horse's back vigorously with comb
and brush, lie need no wonly pass the

HUSKING OUT THE CORN CROP
Easy to Do Part of Work in Barn
During Inclement Weather If
Managed Properly.
(By GEORGE K. BROWN.)
In sections of the country where the
corn crop is quite large it is almost
impossible to shuck out the entire
crop in the barn, hence the most
handy and economical method of dis
posing of the corn and fodder In the
open field during the early fall monthB
is sought out. This is the way we
gather our corn:
As soon as the crop is ready to haul
Into the barn we fill up our large base
ment floor, which holds about two
good days' husking, and keep it stored
there for bad autumn days which are
sure to come.
When we are driven from the fields
by storms we husk and bundle this
stored fodder out, and by the use of a
sling attachment fastened upon our
hay rope we easily pull the bundles,,
about fifteen at a load Into t^e mows
with the use of the farm team. In
this manner the basement floor is
ready for more shocks from the field
as soon as the weather permits.
Out in the fields on nice days we can
keep the husking moving by employ-'
ing the low farm wagon upon which
is fitted a combination wagon box and
rack. The wings of this rack close'd'1
up form a tight box and by letting
one wing down and driving alongside1
the shock row each shock is readily1
husked out, the corn thrown directly
Into the bed, the fodder bundled, and
shocked or piled into bunches. Each
evening after the day's husking is
stored in the cribs the same wagon
is employed in gathering in the day's
husking of fodder which is hauled to
the barn and securely stored away.-.
In this manner each day's work is
finished up clean- and no concern is'
felt by us as to what the weather of the
next day or two may be. In one cor
ner of the wagon bed is a box for
choice ears of seed, selected as we
go "along. If the fodder is to ,be
shocked up in bunches for stacking
later on, we carry a discarded kero
sene can, fitted with a temporary bot
tom into which has been placed a ball
of twine with one end threaded out
through the spout.
From this ball we cut out our supply
of twine for tying the bunches and
have no trouble from the twine en
tangling among the fodder.
We aim to get all the corn into the
cribs and the fodder into the stacks'
and barns as early as possible, for
after winter storms set in, fodder rap
idly depreciates even in well shocked
bunches in 4he open field.

One of the essentials of a good pa»
ture is a good fence.
The garden is paying many fold fo*
all the work you did on it.
The best time to do a task, espe
cially of repairing, is just before it is
needed.
The careful, up-to-date trucker will
see to it that none of his land lies
bare during the winter.
Winter wheat, like any other grain,
cannot do well unless the seed bed
for it is properly prepared.
To destroy snails or slugs you
should spray with one ounce of ar
senate of lead in one gallon of water.
If you have been doing any building
or repairing, look out for stray nails,
and so avoid the possible loss of stock
Trom lockjaw.
"The pastures should be free from
weeds." This Is unnecessary advice
this year. They are free from both'
grass and weeds.
The tlmq to cut corn is generally
given as "when it is glazed that is,
when the shucks are white and the
leaves are turning."
When you go through your potato
patch, you can easily find the big p0.
tatoes, simply by selecting the vines
as big as a man's finger, with a fair
lot of healthy stalks.
Top dressing the soil with a thin
