-Group in Australia Dive to Elver
Bottom for Succulent Weeds
to Eat.
White on n cattle station in
^western Australia, Henry Taun
flon had an opportunity of seeing a
^remarkable instance of the way in
which animals can adapt them
Selves to their surroundings, says
si writer in Australind.
; “On the upper reaches of the
river there was a large pool, jusi
fordable at most times, but in a
dry season very low,” he says.
*‘Among tin* horses making their
run in the vicinity of this pool, an
•old mare and a number of foals
•and yearlings used to come down
tevenylay in the long, dry summer.
fy]/ Hie herbage was scant and

Arnall into the pool until tin1
Ch.ru nearly reached their heads,

Clement weeds, which they

‘The first time I witnessed this

we rode quietly up to the pool I

The water and disappearing from
time to time as they ducked their
heads below the surface. My won

one their heads suddenlv eome

with a mouthful of dripping

weeds. No sooner was this mouth
ful disposed of than the head dis
•appeared in search of another.
“The overseer told me that dur
ing a long drought some five or six
years previous, when hardly a
vest ige of feed was left on tin* run,
and bush fires had laid hare the
wand plains, the old mare had dis
covered that there was plenty of
luscious feed at the bottom of
j>ools, which could be procured by
diving for it: and. having once put
her discovery into practice, she
continued to do out of preference
what she had been driven to do by
■neeessi t v.
“7 lu* several generations of
foals which she had reared had all
followed her example, although
none of the full grown horses had
{ joined the amphibious group.
Here, then, seemed to be a new
/.variety of horse in evolution,
\which, if left undisturbed, might
*/ -breed and separate from the run.
V perhaps to survive through
^droughts severe enough to oxter
VI rinate all others.”

SOME THINGS THE
FARMERS PRODUCE
Value of Farm Products This Year
Exceeds the Capital Stock of
All the Natiohal Banks.
The annual report of the Secre
tary of Agriculture was published
recently, and is a most interesting
presentation of agricultural tacts.
\Ve refer to many of the positions
taken in the report as a brief di
gest of this voluminous publica
tion.
With the corn crop of 11K>4 tin*
farmers of this country could pay
the National debt, the interest
thrown in for a .year and have
money left.
Cotton crop stand*' second, v al
ued at 000 million dollars, while
ha.v and wheat contend for third
place.
Wheat crop is low in yield, but
highest in value since lssi.
The oat crop was never so large
by HO million bushels, save in
1002.
The present crop of rough rice
promises a yield of pen million
pounds 200 million more than
ever before.
Horses and nudes reach their
highest valuation more than i.
of>4 million dollars. All other
stock show a slight decline in val
ue.
Formers’ liens now produce one
and two-third billions of dozens
eggs—enough in a single month to
pay the year's interest on the Na
tional debt.
The farmers of this country
have produced in the past two
years wealth exceeding the output
of all the gold mines of the entire
world since Columbus discovered
' America -aggregating nearly live
billions of dollats.
This year’s products, alone, are
worth over six times the amount
of the capital stock of all National
hanks and lacks three fourths of a
billion dollars of the value of man
ufactures for It>00, less the cost of
material used.
The farm products of are
worth four times the value of all
the minerals produced in this
country.

should be in the library of every
intelligent farmer, fruit grower
and stockman, ll may In* obtain

COTTON FOR ADVANCE
Cotton Buyers Say Little is Offered for
Sale- Big Decrese in Receipts
Since Recent Slump.
Evidence that the farmers are
holding their cotton for a rise in
the market is furnished by the de
creased receipts in Little Rock
'during the past few days. The
falling off in receipts is accounted
for partly by the earlier market
ing of the cotton this year, as was
shown by the large increase in re
ceipts during the early part of the
season, as compared with the same
time last year. This is not suffi
cient, however, to account for the
sudden decrease in receipts.
The < iazette says that the re
ceipts at Little Rock yesterday
were 7M4 bales, as compared with
1,741 halt's on the same day last
year. The sudden reversal of con
ditions is shown by the fact that
the receipts a week ago yesterday
were :!.17!» bales, while on the
same day la>t year they we re only
7•'!. The increase of <106 bales
last week was turned into a de
crease of 1,0t>7 bales yesterday.
The same condition is shown by
tht' receipts for the entire week.
The receipts since last Friday
showed a decrease of 1,710 bales
from the same time last year,
while the previous week showed
an increase of l.s.V) hales over
last year.
Local cotton men state that little
cotton has been offered for sale
since the recent slump in the
prices. Fiiey say that the greater
part of the crop had already been
'marketed before the fall in prices,
hut that the farmers are undoubt
edly holding what little they have
left. The general opinion among
cotton men is that the next gov
ernment report will reduce the
estimate made in the last report,
and that it will be followed by a
rise in prices. The farmers are
evidently of the suin' opinion, it
is stated, and are wairing for the
expected ad \mice.
DRAGGED TO DEATH.
II. \. Michael, a prosperous
farmer living near Cldckulnh, in
Yell county, lost his life in a run
away accident one day last week.
A> he and his wife were driving
home in a wto-horse wagon the
team suddenly, from some unex
plained cause, became uncontrol
lably frightened, and leveled down
to a dead run. Mrs. Michael was
was hurled out of the wagon
while her husband was thrown
down among the tongue, double
trees and tlie heel' of the horses,
and there hamrneaed to death on
the bridge that spans Little Chick
alah creek.

THOSE HOARDED BALES.
Those hoanleU hales, those hoarded
Dales!
Oh. how they guy us with the tales
of wondrous sums they would have
brought
If we but sold them when we ought!
That lucky date has slip), away:
And many a soul that wanted pay
Within the soup now kicks and tjuails
While thinking on those hoarded
hales.
And so, ‘twill he when 1 have down
To where no hulls and bears are
known,
That other cranks will store their
crops,
And sicken when the market drops.
