YOUNG FOLKS • Within a few minutes the bell seemed quite near, and the noises from the animal The Tail Oa Co* were less distinct, proving that it was rath- er disconcerted by the tinkling. \Vhen within a few reds of the bell cow, theboy commenced palling and talking to. her in his usual familiar way. But he dis- covered is -covered. at once by the snorting and tramp. ling. of the cattle, half a dozen in 'number, that the wild creature wee, not far away, and, whatever it might be, was formidable enough to frighten the whole herd. Feel- ing along, he made- his. way to the side of the bell oow, a large, sturdy animal, that Charley knew would stand the best chance of any in the fleets of escaping from danger. Hardly had he reached her•e;nd patted her sides, when they°all became worse alarmed and began tearing around in the darkness fn the wildest •manner. Charley thought the best thing would be to start them for home, believing that they could _find the way in the night. But he had no notion of dropping behind them in his usual plasm while the unkno an animal was near. bo he seized the bell cow's tail near the " swith "• and began shouting : "Go'long, go long" as boisterously as possible. This stirred up a wilder excitement allround. Oneof the cows bellowed as if the wild beast had sprung at her, whereupon the whole herd set off at a headlong run, the bell cow leading Chaclea hanging onto her tail, Trampling, plunging snorting, bellowing, like a herd of crazy creatures, away they rushed through the woods, tbe bell jingling, jangling in the most brazen manner. Charley's heels flew in the liveliest way and his steps seemed to him arod in length. Alarmed and depressed as he had been a few minutes before, in the uncertain silence, sow his spirits rose to the opposite pitch, showing to what au un- natural tension his nerves had been wrought. He was amused, even to laughter, at the figure he cut, and only wished thatrit was daylight that he might see himself. In his excitement he shouted and yelled in the most outlandish style, every sound adding to the din and haste among the cows. Pretty Boob the eommotiolt seemed to in- fect the pursuing beast, for an unearthly shriek rent the air, so much sharper than any previous noise, that Charley thought his hair was all standing straight up. But that shriek showed that the annual was a panther, the most fearful creature of the region, and at the discovery his hands tight- ened convulsively in their grip on the cow's tail. On they went, every moment another fearful scream from the panther adding to the confusion, while the cattle were bellow- ing, the bell jangling, and the boy putting in his share, notwithstanding the peril of his situation. Finally he knew by the smoother around that they had struck auto a trail and were nearing the clearing. Faster and faster they went, and in a moment dashed into the little home -field and rushing for the yard, leaped through the open gateway and were safe, The next instant, from the edge of the woods, the panther gave vent to his disappointment in a long, spiteful wail. At once measures were taken to warn the animal from the eattle ; a brush heap was set afire, several pitch -pine torches were lighted and stuck up in the ground in the field around, and Mr. Barnum discharged his rifle two or three times. It was a well- known and not pleasant fact on the borders, that when a panther commenced mischief around a settler's place, the life of animals and human beings was insecure until the creature was killed or thoroughly frighten- ed awey. It seemed to regatd the forest - inclosed farm as a sort. of corral, furnishing it with a colatant supply of food, like a "man-eating" lion around an Asiatic vil- lage., In the morning one of the cows was found badly scratched across. the hips where the great cat had leaped upon her, Bat short- ly after a large panther, supposed to be the same, stalked into the clearing of Mr. Bar- num's nearest neighbor and fell a victim to the hunter's unerring rifle, much to the re- lief of all the settlers in the vicinity. In later years when Charley was an elder- lyman a favorite rit e rldd1a which h be often gave to boys who had not heard the story was, "How could a cow's tail save n boy's life?" A not infrequent experience in a new country is what the pioneers call "getting lost," To wander bewildered all day in a great forest is not a pleasant adventure but when it extends through the night, in the densest darkness, the wanderer scratched and bruised by content with in- visible brush, trees analogs, ears filled with the mysterious;• often alarming, noises of the woods, nerves overstrung, it isartily fearfudr As there Cis. something overawing about the ocean, so there is about the "great woods ;" but the awful sensation of being lost on the one or in the other, can ba 'known only by experience. Charley Barnum -was twice lost in the Ohio forests before he was 15 years old. One of these incidents I will relate to you. around the neck and two holes fcr the arms completes the dress, and from this on to big dresses for big dolls, which cover, when neatly made, all the ground gone over o a larger scale ou a frock for herself,, and then to the machine, where her own •skirts and aprons can be so quickly put together, is all within the range of pleasant possibilities.

In the winter the cattle were fed chiefly on what was termed " browse ;" that is, the tender twigs - of trees felled for that object. But in summer the cows roamed at will for pasturage anywhere through the woods, and at sundown were driven home and shut over night in a yard surrounded by a high log fence. It was the boys' business to. " set the cows " as night'drew near, and often it was a long, perplexingsearch. Every herd, large or small, had a"bell cow," and the tinkle, tinkle of the bell was, the first thing to be found when a boy went " rafter the cows." It is a gtteer experience, search- ing with one's earn for a mere sound ; that found and traced, the cows were soon dis- covered. usuallygot coverod. Charley Barnum n about an hour before sunset, generally pursuing a certain beat through the woods, up and down, round and round, where be had learned that the drove were most apt to roam, Ono afternoon he started on this search a little later than common, going first down "the brook" a. distance, then across the "black -ash bottom," then over the "beech ridge," names describing to him and the family a familiar route; but no tones of the bell were discovered tangled among the trees. Next, he "took around by the big wind fall" and followed another brook, but still without success, Then he turned south- ward, and for half a mile or more, skirted the edge of a large swamp where occasion- ally the cows were found, but where Charley did not like to go, as it was -reported to be a haunt of panthers and bears, and once he had seen a couple of big, gray wildcats crouching on a mossy tussock just within the marsh. But this time he did not see even a squirrel or a cow -track. At length the sun had ceased to gild the tree tops and it began so grow dusky in the woods. Char- ley was about two miles from his log -cabin home, and it was a foggy evening. Still he was an energetic lad and did not relish fail- ure; so he turned to the northward and pushed on, keeping ears and eyes fixed on his quest, until it became so dark that be could hardly see his hand before his face. And yet no sound or sign of the cows did he discover. This state of things compelled him to give up the search and if possible make his way home. But here was the puzzle. By daylight he would have known whither to go, but it was another thing in the night. He knew ho was somewhere to the south- west of the imperfect roan that led to his. hone; if, therefore, he could go toward the northeast he would strike that road after a time and finally reach his home. But which way was north, south, east or west? No star was to be seen, no landmark existed to direct him. That sense of feeling in regard to points of compass, possessed by most persons, was of no use now. Standing perfectly still he listened for any sound that might guide him. Somewhere in the dis- tance an owl was calling "Hoo, hoo, hoe, hoorah ;" a night -bird of some kind was pouring a plaintive song on the air ; now and thou a rustle among the leaves reached his ears ; bat there was nothing by which to locate himself and take a correct start homeward. Lada not familiar with the great woods would not have known a single thing to do in such an emergency. But Charley under- stood some things not taught in tbe gram- mar school. The necessities of frontier life impart an education peculiar to itself. He made his way to a tree and, feeling with his hands on all sides of its rough trunk, soon decided which way was north, for the north side of forest trees is almost always alightly mossy and the bark not so hard and dry, but more easily crumbled. This is the result of shade on the north and sunshine on the south side. Carefully sat- isfying himself on this point, he placed his back against the north-east side and,putting forth his hands to shield his face from brush, set forward in what he deemed the right direction. Slowly walking a few rode, he felt the bark upon another tree to correct his bearings. In this way a person who understands it can go a long distance through the forests" by night in an almost straignt line. Of course, in dense woods one cannot steer by the stars. On and on Charley groped, occasionally bumping against a tree or stumbling over a log, but steadily holding his course. After a while, as he was examining a tree to keep himself right, he heard a vigorous rustling of brush not far away, and listen- ing intently, his ears were saluted by a dis- tinct sniff from.some animal. At first Charley was inclined to be alarm- ed, but reasoning that it was probably some small creature, raccoon or opossum, he kept on his way. Butwithin a few rods he heard it again and louder. Harkening, he clearly distinguished its steps verynear him. Yet it world not do to weaken and play the coward in such circumstances, and so, feeling about and nutting a stont cudgel, and carrying it in one hand and his open jack-knife in the other, he plodded along as nearly as possible in a direct course. By and by, as he was again correcting his bearing by a tree, he felt something tpuch his leg, like the nose of an animal smelling him to see if he would be good eating, and it so startled him that he gave a piercing yell and struck at the object with all his might. Whatever it was it receiveda pro- digious whack and bounded away a few feet, uttering a low, heavy growl, This showed Charley that it was a large creature, but it did not explain to him what it was. On he pushed again, the animal appar- ently keeping a little farther off, but sniff- ing frequently and growling in a Neaten- ing manner. In the presence of such a mys- terious peril most persons would have been completely unnerved, but ou young hero managed to keep his wits about him and hold a steady course. Finally, es be was groping along, there came to his ears from some distant point a faint but welcome sound—the tinkle tinkle of the cow -bell. Listening an instant he decided the direction, and turning sharply that way; steered by the sound, walking much faster than when trying to keep a cer- tain point of compass by the trees. This brought his pursuer at his back,' a more ner- vous position than any other, 1tBMASABLE FEAT BY A DOG. _— Thrown Overboard. be Again Appears on Deck, After the Ship had Run Fifty Miles, The following recent oecurreuce is another instance of the wonderful endurance, sagas• ity, and fidelity so often displayed by that noble animal the dog.

In 1888 the largest yield came from plots seeded at the rate of five and six pecks to the acre. In 18S9 the yields from the plots seeded at the rate of five, six, seven and eight pecks was practically the same. In 1300 the results were very irregular, owing to,the disease of oats so prevalent that year. The plots receiving five, ten and twelve pecks gave the largest yields. In 1891 the experiment was du liceted, two varieties of oats being used. The work was done on land fiery uniform in quality, and the sea- son was favorable. The results are given in the following table. Seed per Yield per acre. acre. -- Wideawake.
