Mountain.
.
The New York botanical garden will
publish shortly the results of a recent
expedition sent out under its auspice-s
to explore the flora. of Yellowstone
park and the surrounding region. The
’party of botanists was under the im-
mendiate supervision of Dr. P. A. Ryd-
berg, and its expenses were paid by
-William E. Dodge. After a search of
"three months it brought back to New
Most of these
were specimens of flowers, shrubs,
trees and seeds already well known,
and classified by scientists, says the
New York Sun.
But there was one species found hith-
erto unknown to botany. This was the
smallest willow tree extant anywhere
in the world. It- is only an inch and a
half high, and was found by Dr. Ryd-
berg on the summit of the ridger
- mountains in Montana. \
“This species,” said Prof. N. L. Brit-
ton,,of Columbia. university, and direct-
or-in-qhief of the New York botanical
garden, “is entirely new to us. It is
the very smallest willow tree to be
‘ found anywhere, andlflourishes to some
extent on the Bridger mountains. It-s
pigmy height is due to the extreme ex-
posure of the mountain top. ‘We can.-
not plant it. here, as weather conditions
would quickly kill it elf, buta number
of preserved specimens will be -
.hibited in the botanical museum in t- e
Bronx, when that building is com-
pleted next summer.” .

NEAT CHICKEN FEEDER.

I see a great many articles on feed-
ing young chickens. but all feed where
the chickens can run over the feed and
waste and dirty it. 1 will give your
readers We description of one of my
inventions. Take for bottom an inch
board. four inches wide. any length.

end. a foot high. with top slanted like

a house roof; then tack one piece of
three-inch batting on each side, down
close to bottom board, as shown in cut
below. This makes a trough to hold
feed. Have space above this one and
one-half inch for little chicks to poke
their heads through; then board up
tight almost to top, then tack board
on one side of top and hinge one on
other side with leather hinges, to put
feed in. This leaves it so little chicks
can eat on both sides and old ones can-
not get their heads in.-—(ieorge l". Wil-

The stupidity of tame sheep points to
the fact that they are out of place and
not in their natural surroundings.

man turned it to his own purpose. This
is the extraordinary and apparently
purposeless way in which every flack
of sheep will “.iollow the leader" and
imitate him in taking jumps over en-
tirely imaginary obstacles. All wild
sheep go in flocks and implicitly obeya
leader. If this leader, who keeps watch
for the public good. gives an alarm the
'rest do not question his wisdom, but
simply follow him, for in mountain
regions to wait. till the chasm or ob-
stacle the leader has seen is seen
by each member of the flock might
mean death to many of them. The hab-

h In a Most Important Condition to
‘I'lirlt't and Will Add Mnmrlnlly
lo Farm Profits.
There is no domestic a'nirnal k’epton
the farm that is so habitually neglected
in point ol’ cleanliness as the hog. says
the Mirror and Farm. Alen do now
and then clean ,out their home and
cow stables. They use the curi'ycomb
on the horse, and many, too. are be-
ginning to use’ii on the cattle. particu-
larly where the hvrd is kept for dairy
purposes. Aside. however. from the
growers of breeding sioclg'how few
men there are who pay any attention
to the cleanliness of the quarters in
which hogs are kept. There is no ex-
-cuse for this except the mistaken idea
thatthe hog is a filthy animal and does
not care for cleanliness. We say this
is a mistaken idea. and we fully believe
it. The hog", no more requires dirty
surroundings as one of the essential
conditions to thrift than does any
other domestic animal. We complain
a great deal about the annual loss of
hogs from disease. and it is certainly
very severe in many seasons, but. the
wonder is, considering the conditions
under which hogs are habitually kept,
that. it. is not greater than itlis. [1‘ cat-
tle and horses were managed in the
same way and with the same lack ofat-
motion to cleanliness. perhaps some
disease would propagate itself among
them that would sweep them away as
rapidly as hog cholera sweeps away
swine. Whether this is true or not,
however. does not affect the question
as to whether hogs should be kept in
quarters fairly clean. It. is no great‘
task to do so if the quarters are con—
structed with that in view. .Whatis
chiefly needed. is good‘drainage and
good feeding floors so arranged as to
be easily cleaned. in order that food
that is left over or spilled and tramped
in the dirt may not ferment continu-
ously and produce conditions that,
whether the cause of the disease in the
hog or not. would certainly produce
disease in any other domestic animal.
Ei'ricient. disinfectants. toosshould be
habitually kept arid used. Clean,com-
fortable quarters are one of the im-
portant. conditions to thrift and it will
pay to furnish them. Moreover. aside
from the comfort and thrift of the
' hog, what. can be more ofiensive than
dirty. foul-smelling swine quarters?
The conditioa of many yards that we
have seen has been such that we would
hardly accept the hogs in them as a
gift if we were obliged to feed and care
for them amid the surroundings that
were then given them.
CAME OFF HIS PERCH.
Rooster Dodgcd Missiles. But a “’am-
in: with a. Brocln Brought
Him Down.
A rooster belpnging to a College
street man got out the other evening
and flew about the yard, dexterously
eluding every attempt to catch him till
the owner gave it up, and left him to
his fate. Next morning the rooster
was perched high in a tree, apparently
stiff and stark. The owner was con-
science-stricken. “I ought to have
gone out after dark and got him. He
froze to death last night and I am to
blame. ‘I have got to get apole and
knock him out of that tree. I shall be
arrested for cruelty,” he said to his
wife. So he went out, armed with a
couple of sticks of wood, says the Lew-
ist-on (Me) Journal.
These he threw at the frozen rooster
for an hour without success, and a
good-sized crowd of neighbors stood
about, suggesting ways to get the bird
down. One went and got a revolver
and shot away at it for some time, but
the bird still sat there, immovable, its
head canted a little, and its eyes look-
ing bleary. “You infernal copper! Do
you expect to knock a frozen bird out
of a tree with a revolver? The bullets
.would go right through it, and not
budge it.” .
After half an hour of these vain at.-
tempts the wife of one of the neigh~
bors came out with a long-handled
broom, and. waving it, said “Sh—sh-sh-
sh-sh.” Up flew the rooster, crowing
loudly, and lit upon the ell of the
house. and finally, after a victorious
crow, settled down into the barn door,
and ran in among the hens.
TOWN THAT CURES BALDNESS.
Those “7110 Go Away and. Lose Their
flair Return and ‘Get
It Back.
“If I had money,” saidaNorristown
man, according to the PhiladelphiaRec-
0rd, “I'd exploit the little village of
Waretown, on Barnegnt bay. Ware-
to’Wn is not. wonderful on accountof its
excellent fishing and gunning, but. on
account of'its pdwer of curing bald-
ness. Call me, if you will, a. liar, but.
the fact. remains that not a bald-head-
ed man is tobe found within7 five miles
of Warctown, and- any bald: stranger
who goes there to live and just gets
out. bareheaded as often as possible, on
the bay and in the black grass mead-
ows, begins to thatch up right away,
and in a year has a crop that isn’t a
thing but smooth! When I was down
last, in ’95, I met a manhamed Henry
Camburn—you know they’re all Cam—
bnrns pretty much down there. Well,
Henry, though an old man, h-adla head
of thick. soft brown hair like a boy’s,
and he said it was his third. crop.
“Twice had he livedawuy from Ware-
town and got bald, but he came back
each time, and so did. his hair. I believe
that the pure. strong winds. that smellI
of pines and the sea cause this thing.
and if 1 had money I would get to-
gether a colony of- bald-heads, take
them' down to Waretown, keep them
out all day. and. every 'day'fishing-in

In this battle Peter. the Great of Rus-
