Docs and What They Cost.

The March report OF the Commits
sioner of Agriculture dwells upon the
ravages committed by dogs among
the sheep in the United States. In
1860, 500,0 900 sheep were killed by
Q6gs, and their value was $4,000, 900.
lille number injured was 100000, and
the lossis estimated ut 100000. The
Commissioner says. erhe cost Of
keeping dogs, most OF them utterly
worthless, when calculated for the
whole country, assumes startling pro.
portions. The estimate made in the
report of 1863, Of ten dollars per an
hm, or less than one per cent. meal,
cannot be considered extrayagant,
Gin view of the cost of boarding
dogs, the cost otkeeping large mum
'pers of them in tho cities, and their
exclusive consumption Of meat" AS
TO their numbers it is believed by
many that they will average one to
every family, or seven millions in the
United States. In cities and towns
that average would be reached, while
many & pack of hounds and assem- :
blagcs of ours oil low degree might be
found in the ownership of single fam
flies Possibly seven millions may be
too large. Ohio, with half a million
families, is supposed by many to con
tain q million dogs, although little
more than one>third OF that number
are found in the assessors books. 1t
gmay be assumed, in view of the data
obtained, as low estimate, that there
are five millions Of dogs in the United
States, and thGt their subsistence in>
Tolves an expenditure fifty millions
of dollars.

Potatoes.

Professor Bolt, in his lecture on
cooking, deprecates the practice OF
cutting or such enormously thick
pairings from potatoes, as is the Gus
tom Of most people, to save the trou-
BILE Of neatly digging out the eyes,
which lie below the surface. The
lecturers caution seems to have been
directed simply against a shiltless
style of manipulation which wasted a
certain bulk of potato. lfthis were
The extent of the evil, it would hard~
~ be o serious fault, IS potatoes are
bheap and plenty, and the time saved
might offset the waste Of food
The truth is, however, that almost
the sole value Of the potato lies near
the surface, so near that very thick
pechng would take the biggest part
Of the nutriment. This is at oace
made obvious by examining a thin
slice Of potato with microscope,
when the starch granulcs will he
found lying in tile greatest number
just under the skinand decreasing to-
ward the centre. They are placed
here for the nourishment Of the
young sprout, which sprung from the
"eye," and which like beauty, only
"skin deep" is required to 60 no
deeper for its food during the gcrmi~
hallng PROCESS.
This starch is for all practical pur-
poses, the entire nutriment which the
potato contains, there being only
two per cent. of gluten, while seven
ty five per cons. is clear water So
if it is worth while to cat the potato
at all, it is obviously foolish TO throw
away the nutriment and save only
She water cells.

Not to be Neglected.

Some people still think that advertise
ments are not read, and among a small
class this neglect is probably practiced;
but the number is getting to be very mea-
gre OF those who fail to look at and exam
inc attentively so interesting a reflex of
the business progress of the age. Some
where we recently came across the follow
ing sensible remarks on this subject:
'Readers ofnewspapers who habitu2lly
omit to read the advertisements are un-
Willingly losing some of the most inter-
esting portions. Advertising has reached
its proper place in public estimation OF
late years, and it is now made subject of
earnest study. Business men are begin
ming to understand that in advertising
they are practising the art of the salesman
upon the whole public instead Of upon q
single individual, and they study the art
accordingly. Ingenuity is tasked to de-
wise bits Of rhyme, cOnundrums, odd con
functions Of.the article on hand with the
latest matter. of public interest, anecdotes
ending with advice to buy your hats of
Hit, the halter, tricks with types, and Sc
ductive stories which beguile the reader
into an advertisers store. Hence adver-
tiseIents are curious index of human
character, being dull, verbose, pithy, wit
ty straightforward, polished, blunt, or the
opposite, as their writers happen to be,
and in a certain sense, advertisers are
writers of essays for prizes, for upon the
supposition that their business is conduc-
ted with average sagaeity. those who
write the best will win the largest prize
Of public patronage. The most brief,
pointed, and the oftenest renewed adver-
usements are the most readable and the
best paying, and readers who would gath
er the best idea of what is going on must
not overlook the colImns Of small type
