FENCINU UU I" HATTLER3.
A rraittH-a ml Animal That M
Vtmn Si Adynntase.
Did yon rvcr henr of raftUunk
tent'& not on saado of rattlesnakes,
of course nt, but one made of prickly
thorns to protect one from' the rattlers
and keep them away? That Is what
the Arizona vniupers build, and the
only way to kocp those deadly poison
ers away is by building one of these
fences of okteii, a shrub covered will)
tborna which fsrows oa the desert.
As the tents have no doors nud ar.
not set nmeh above the ground, it
would appear easy for Mr. Itattler to
effect an entrance. Imagine the sensa
tioii of crawltcg into bed Rome' cold
night to strlkt ajralntt the clammy
skin of a snake, and this Is Just wuere
Mr. Snake like to sauzfle, In among
tht warm blanktU.
To avoid this men who work In the
mines have .found that a make will
not go near this oktea, and they have
built closely knit fences around their
tents, with llttlo gates to go In and
out, and beyond this the rattler wil;
not penetrate. It was first the In
dlans of the desert who discovered thl
deadly shrub, and they got the secret
from birds and animals, which, to pro
tect their young, travel sometimes
many miles back and forth, bringing
the thorns with vMch to cover their
litt'c nests. Gopben v.ivi other small
animals there coror their nests In this
meaner.
It Is 6transethat t'i that country, s:
dry and forbidding, many thing grow
In exuberance, and especially noticea
ble are the great fieltb of Brown Eyed
Susans, the yellow daisies with the
brown centers. They grow so high
and wild that yon ran step In a field
and your head will ,Ju.t peep over the
top of the nodding sea of bright eyed
faces. 1.03 Angeles Tlme3.
Holl It Down!
It Is the short piece, be It letter, jt
editorial, that catches the reader, and
correspondents who wish their letters
to be read should neror extend them
beyond a quarter of a column, nnd half
that length is preferable. Condensa
tion Is an art, but It can be acquired
with n little practice. Never try to
see how long you can make your ar
ticle but how short. Use never n
superfluous sentence or word. Be as
brief as an Intelligible statement 6f the
case will allow and you will have teu
readers where the long winded fellow
will have ne. Riearnadd Dispatch.
Home Churning,
A barrel or box churn Is the best for
the home dairy. When the cream Is
ripe, scald the churn and cool to the
temperature of the cream, which should
be from 50 degrees to C4 degrees, ac
cording to conditions. If color Is used,
It should be put In the cream when It
Is put In the churn. Turn the churn
so as to get the greatest concussion
possible. The butter should come In
from thirty to fifty minutes. After the
butter comes draw the buttermilk,
using a strainer to catch the particles
of butter that may escape with tb
buttermilk, then wash with cold wa
ter, using about the same quantity ai
there was of cream.
