they are contented, hospitable and ex­tremely independent, v

. Prom October to May they are keen sportsmen, pursuing 'coon and 'posBumi wild turkey, quail anil pheas­ant, but, most exciting of .all; the lit­tle b}ack;bear. Ownership of a home tad several mongrel hounds seem to be essentials to the happiness of the mountaineer, for more than nine out of every; ten are so provided.

- "1 reckon this bear is the daddy of .'em all," John explained, "from the tracks they tell about over the ridge, mnd the way he's tore up the fodder and made him a supper off Rom Vance's fat pig. We'll have to hurry If we want to do any good—the other boys has started already. Fine day for a race—little damp, so the dogs 'It work fine, and there's no wind to bother."

Getting my .30-40, and putting on the best available armor against the

: briars, I started with John to join the rest of the party about four miles away. Eleven hounds and thirteen men and boys took up the trail where the bear had last been seen. The .dogs were led by three good trailers, anil before noon 'we were near enough to inspire Increased speed In both bear and pursuers. All that afternoon the race went on, across ridges, down hol­lows. . up steep mountain sides, through tangles of briars and thick­ets of laurel and occasional locust thorns. At night | a truce was de­clared, for, the only blood thus far drawn in the chase was from the faces, hands and legs of the hunters, where the various .kinds of. thorns had found them. *" •' .^s. j. f

It was not. long after daylight next morning when the party reassembled and the hounds were let loose upon the track. Off they went, soon send­ing us back word in short, sharp barks that it smelled fresh to them, so Mr. Bear had evidently also taken a rest when revived from the urgent seed of keeping distance/ between himself and his yelping enemies.

''See where he left bis mark," ob­served one of the hunters, pointing to some fresh scratches on a chestnut oak. "Yes, and he 'sure went up the <ree, too," exclaimed another. "If ,we hadn't called the dogs in, they'd 'a' treed him in a little bit."

Meanwhile, the dogs were getting far ahead as we came to:a little clear­ing ..in .the forest, where we could see across a deep, wide ravine to the briar-covered mountainside beyond. Searching over all visible territory before us, the keen-eyed John sudden­ly called but: ' "There he is!" and following his direction we soon could •ee the black object hurrying up the

mountain as easily as a pig crosses a meadow, only much faster.

"Now's the chance' for your .30-40," suggested one of the boys, "and quick, or he'll be over the ridge." It was about 600 yards, but 1 gave It a trial to satisfy the boys,-getting rid of the five bullets before, the animal disappeared.over, the horizon. Hasten­ing the bear's pace seemed to be the only effect, and comments were cone siderately withheld.

'Now the' ain't no use goin' down in that hole and up again," command­ed John. "We'll divide here, and, Mex, you go around that ridge and come in by Devil's Gap and we'll go the other way, towards the falls. If he goes on north the way he's p'lnted, you git 'lm, an'lf he goea to the river we'll git Mm, an' whichever way he goes, one of us'*11 head 'im off and mebbe git a clost • shot." With but little argument this was agreed to and the party divided. It appeared later that John's plan was a deep one. He had hunted bears in that locality until-he knew which way they were most apt. to go. He counted on Mex, also an old hunter, heading the bear off, but being such a big one, that it would' do nothing less than whip Mex's dogs and get away, perhaps, with a wound that would make cap­ture easier, when he turaed out of the way of this obstruction to seek safety In the gorge of the Linvllle river.

This almost Impenetrable rocky fastness has been the refuge of ani­mals fleeing from pursuit since the time when William Llnvllle and his son, early in the eighteenth century, chased a deer into It, only to fall themselves Into an .Indian ambush. Both lost their lives,'but won endur­ing fame by giving their name to the crystal stream and the long, ever­green-covered mountain thftt lies alongside.

Mex knew all the short-cuts, so he decided to get well ahead of the race, leaving his fourteen-year-old boy, al­ready the hero of one bear fight, to watch a narrow pass where bears often crossed. The boy had not long to wait before the "black beauty" came tearing through the brush and for thirty or forty feet was in full view, not thirty yards away. Edgar, the boy, brought his single-barrel Into action and sent a charge of buckshot after Bruln, who did not seem to mind it at all, the dogs were pressing him so closely. He merely changed his course, Edgar and the dogs pursuing, and started for the river. Leaving Edgar and the dogs and two or three of the other hunters who had Joined him far behind, apd Mex still further, out of hearing, with the wind against him, the bear at last turned on the

Cleanliness Is one of the. surest means for overcoming the causes which lead to the destruction qf the teeth. They should be carefully brush­ed night and morning. It is a good practice to rinse the mouth ^ter each meal, if possible.

dogs and verified another of the crafty John's predictions. Two of the best hounds had their backs broken in the bear's powerful jaws.

It was now nearly noon, and while my spirit still desired to go on, my legs rebelled. So the captain of the chase put me on what he assured me j was "a right likely stand," and told | me if I heard the dogs pass, toward

the. river I should follow, whether 1 •aw the bear or not. He would go across,to another stand and between us "we orto come mighty clost to* that bear," he concluded, after outlining the secret hopes of his plan of cam­paign. With some misgivings lest I, too* might be sidetracked like the un­fortunate «Mex, I sat down on a log to enjoy, I think, the sweetest and most welcome rest of my whole ex­istence. The wait was only an hour. Hearing the unmistakable crashing through tlie brush and the voices of the hounds, I climbed a great rock-no, not for safety, but to get a good look about. I could hear the bear, but could not see him until he burst into view less than 100 yards away. , I got in one shot before he disappeared, the 'dogs close at his .heels. He seemed to be going slower and making straight for the rocky gorge. It was not long, before I heard the report of John's guri and the sounds of another fight, which soon died away. The pace was too fast for me, and by the time I reached the edge of the gorge it was all over.

The bear had passed close to John, and he let go a charge, that must hare missed, for the mountain hunters, do not pretend to much skill in shooting at moving objects. HI# presence en-, couraged the dogs an#- they soon closed In. The old bear was very ugly by this time, and as John put It he "whupped the dogs clean outright now and went on. But I made 'em go to It again," he related to me, "and follered 'em acrost that last hoi ler as fast as I could, and found where they had cornered him in a rock den on the edge of the gorge. 1 seen blood on the trail, so I knowed he's Wt, and It's lucky he was. oi he'd 'A' killed my best dog. But you see his/jaw was. broke, so he couldn't bite. As soon as I got up to the fight I climbed down where they was, and got up within ten feet of the bear, and bad to give him" three loads of buck' shot afore I was sure he was dead."

And there was the bear to prove It An examination of the broken Jaw showed that it was done by a rifle, a terrible soft-nosed bullet. Aiming foi the shoulder I had overestimated hli speed and held a little too far for ward, or the bear, would have stopped right there. •

Now the question was, how to get that bear to the settlement. We wer« only two miles away now# tu the beai had ran In a big seml-cirale to get Into the gorge. But such miles ai these were! "The worst briar patch in the country Is between here and the ford," one of the boys pointed out but that was the only way. Rernov ing the entrails' to lighten the load the paws were tied together and th» burden carried on a stout pole. Aftei many resting spells and much rend Ing of already ragged garments and bloody, stinging flesh, we got the beai to the ford, waded the river and sent a wagon to bring the trophy to th« little store at the settlement.

Just before we came In sight of the houses we observed the mountalt custom of announcing our success, bj firing off what ammunition we had left^as rapidly as possible. When s dozen hunters come in together this lets everyone know what has hap pened, and the whole population turns out to welcome the nimrods.

What was left of the bear weighed 251 pounds when brought in, and th< hide measured seven feet from nose to tall, a very large bear for the Blue Ridge. According to mountain beai hunting law, a piece of the.meat was given to every man and boy in the race, while the proceeds of the sale of the pelt were divided equallj among the four men who had dogs In the chase, regardless of who sjiot the

In hanging our farm gates^ and building fences we should look ahead for advantages and disadvantages that may come up later on.

This post that the gate nangs to is round, so that the bands of iron that serve-as liinges may slip tip and down as wanted, writes J. W. Griffin in Farm World. If we wish the gate raised a little to get the .pigs under and keep the large hogs back, all we have to do Is to raise the gate and put the pin in one of the holes Just be­low the band.

Then, the wire that runs from the

top of the gate to the barn Is tight­ened, so that the weight of the gate at the end where the wire is fastened will hang upon the wire. The gate will answer for either of the lanes. We find this arrangement of lanes very convenient when turning stock from one pasture to another.

When the wire support Is used to keep the gate from sagging, one may use a very long gate—one as long aa 18 or 20 feet.

The cater­pillars often attack other vegetables, including celery, paisley, cauliflower, turnips, lettuce, dandelion and tomato, and sometimes get into greenhouse^ late In the fall and damage plants by devouring portions of them.

The caterpillar Is from one to one and three-eighths inches long, and in color is light green. Indistinctly striped with white. The adult is a dark brownish gray moth, haviiig a wing expanse of %bout one and one-half inches, with a silver dot and U-shaped mark near the middle of each fore-wing.

PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS

Haste Makes Waste When Crop Is Hurried to Barn Not Fully Cured—

Thorough Drying Needed. -

(By WALTER LECTZ.) As to the best time for cutting

grass, it does not pay to be In too big a hurry. When the grass is young and tender and seemingly succulent In the fresh state. It is harder to cure, dries and shrinks more, and has not nearly the food value of the more ma­ture crop.

While the opposite extreme should be avoided, cutting before the seed Is so ripe as to scatter, there is much more nourishment In the matured stalk, and one farmer who was com­plimented for bringing his cattle through the winter on a minimum amount of grain and yet keeping them in good flesh, attributes his success largely to this fact

Haste makes waste when the crop Is hurried to the barn not fully cured. Hay cut green requires more thorough drying than that almost overripe. '

Yoiing Uueks. The cause of mortality among young

ducks may be traced to overheat, dampness, getting wet, lack of grit, grayhead lice, sudden showers, de­layed hatches, exposure to sun, lack of fresh water, drinking vessels too shal­low, breeding stock out of condition.

Ducks kept on land must be sup­plied with fresh water three times a day.

Gait of the Horse. A horse .that moves steadily and

fast with a long even stride is a good one. A horse that takes short nervous steps or has a mincing gait is always a trial. .

Sheep Shelters. Sheep are well-clothed animals and

do not require very warm shelter. This does not mean that they can be exposed to storms and drafts without harqa. ..A dry, tight protection free from drafts is best.

Shetland Ponies. Shetland ponies are attracting un­

usual attention. At a recent sale in Scotland SO head sold for an average of $116. Over one-fourth of the offer-Ins came to the United States. "~V

Weak and Queenless Hives 8uff«r Most From Its Attacks—Keep All

Colonies Strong.

(By F. Q. HERMAN.) It is not to be wondered that our

forefathers were afraid of the moths for their bees. Until the Invention of the movable frame hive It was next to Impossible to ascertain the extent' of the danger to the bee Industry on the moth's account. ,

The common belief among begin­ners is that an army of wax worms will attack_ a colony of bees and kill them. The" truth of the" matter Is that the mischief begins with the little in­nocent looking moth miller which flit­ters about among the hives, and en­ters those which are weak In bees, and there finds lots of vacant cells in which to deposit her eggs.

In due time the tiny wax worms hatch from those eggs and begin to feed on the comb, at the same time filling them full of webs. .The trouble Is more serious in the southern states than it is further north.

The remedy for this Is to keep all colonies strong In bees.. Do not give them more combs than they can oc­cupy.

If combs have been out during win­ter so as to be frozen, they are safe until the weather becomes warm enough for fresh eggs to be laid in them. A good tight,' cool cellar Is about the best place to store them until swermlng time.

There is too much neglect of this •kind among the aparles. We do not sufficiently recollect that the moth be­comes more numerous as the season advances.

. Feeding Hogs. The bliiegrass in connectiou with

the alfalfa will be quite a help, but it will be a matter to be tried and to learn how much the hogs will ncglect the alfalfa for it. When there comes a dry spell it is a failure, while the alfalfa grows on.

For at, least one-half, the pasturing and feeding period the hogs should have about one-half full feed of corn. The remainder of the time what they will' eat ciean at each feed­ing time. Experiments show that this Is the most profitable way to feed swine while on pasture. > ;

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

"While attending school at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with bolls, which lasted for about two years, when the affliction assumed the form of an eczema on my face, the lower part of my face being Inflamed most of the time. There would be water-blisters rise up and open, and wherever the water would touch It would burn, and cause another one to rise. After the blister would open, the place would scab oyer, and would burn and itch so aa to'be almost un­bearable at times. In this way the sores would spread from one place to another, back and forth over the whole of my upper lip and chin, and at times the whole lower part of 'my face would be a solid sore. This con­dition continued for four or five years, without getting any better, and in fact got worse all the tiqie, so much so that my wife became alarmed lest It pro.ve fatal.

"During all this time of bolls and eczema, I doctored with the best phy­sicians of this part of the country, but to no avail. Finally I decided to Try Cuticura Remedies, which I did, tak­ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying the Cuticura Ointment to the sores, and using the Cuticura Soap for wash­ing. In a very short time I began to notice improvement, and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies until I was well again, and have not had a re­currence of the trouble since, which Is over twenty years. -I have, recom­mended Cuticura Remedies to others ever since, and have great faith in them as remedies for skin diseases."
