AN English lady tells this story of a
dogs intelligence: had expressed my
wish for a real collie dog in the hearing
of an honest cottar belonging to our
parish and one morning, being out in
the garden, saw a stout lassie coming up
to the house with large basket on her
arm. On entering the kitchen, was
greeted with Here, mistress, my father
sent We a fulpie' Qittle whelp) a the road
ira Strathdon." While delivering her
message she united the cover of her
basket, and out rolled q black-and-tan
puppy, as broad as he was long.
He was christened Collie" and soon
grew both in size and in favor with all in
the house, especially with myself and
"old Joseph" the minister's man, who
divided his affections pretty fairly between
Collie and one of my little girls. One
morning, when Joseph was at his break
fast and Collie and little Nellie were both
standing beside him, came in to give him
a message, when Nellie began her old
trick of pulling the poor dogs tail. Growl
after grewl of warning produced no
effort, for the offender was pery young !;
when, in an instant, after a harder pluck
than usual, the dog turned, and before
any one could interfere, he had seized the
whole of her arm in his mouth. My first
feeling was to pull open the dogs mouth,
but old Joseph cried out, "Na, ma, mis-
trees lat him be, lat him ber'
1t was q trying moment. The child's
screams made me very nervous, and there
stood the dog with his large jaws holding
the little fat arm as in q vice, and the long
white glistening teeth showing on each
side. "Dnna move, mistress" said the
old man again: "Collie kens what he's
doin'; he no hurt her. And old Joe was
right Collie held fast the little arm that
had been his tormenter, but when Nellie,
finding that she was not hurt, became
quieter, Collie gave her one expressive
look from his large brown eyes, slowly
opened his jaws and released the arm,
without one scratch on it He had given
her q lesson, which she never forgot, tn
respect his feelings with regard to his

Potash Necessary In the Soil.

PROFESSOR VoELKER thus speaks OF
the use of the superphOsphate of lime on
soil not well supplied with potash: "On
one of the experimental plots of the
Escrick Park used mineral superphos-
phate alone, and, to my astonishment, no
effect whatever was produced by its ap-
plication. This is an interesting result,
seeming, as it does, to indicate that the
great deficiency of potash, which is
Characteristic of the soil in that expert
mental field, entirely prevented the dis
play of the usual functions which we
know perfectly well superphosphate of
lime discharges on land of a better charac-
ter than that at Escrick. The superphos.
phate Tor, rather, the phosphoric acid) in
that manure did not act, simply because
potash was not present to form part of
the substance of the clover plant You
can, / think, readily understand that
Place before man all the dry food which
tends to entice the appetite, and at the
same time withhold from him drink, and
you will find that he cannot assimilate the
dry food You may give him every de-
scription of dry food that can temp. him
to eat, but if you keep from him for any
long time that unimportant substance, as
we are too apt to consider it-though il is,
in fact, a most essential thing-watcr, he
will ultimately perish. Potash is non-es-
sential as regards many clay soils, because
many clay soils contain abundance of pot.
ash; butSS is most essential on poor sandy
soils, because, generally speaking, these
soils are very deficient in the necessary
amount of potash which is required to
bring clover crops to perfection. The
mixture of potash, salts, and superphos-
phate yielded the largest weight Of clover
and rye grass per acre which was obtained
on any of the experimental plots. Further,
it was astonishing to notice that not only
was the weight Of the first cutting larger
in the case of this particular plot than on
any of the Others, but the second cutting
also yielded a much larger quantity"

And waes one-and-twenty, Mag,

Esour voice was low and sweet, Maggie;
Your wayy hair vas brown;
Yoar cheek was like the wild red rose
That showered its petals down;
Tour eyes were like the blue speedwell,
With dswy moisture shseL,
When was one-andtwsnty, Nag,
And you were seventeen.
The spring was IN our hearts, Maggie,
And ali ite hopes were ours;
And we were children In the fields,
Among the opening flowers.
Ay Life was like summer day
Amid the woodlands green
For was one-and twenCy, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The years have come and gone, Maggie,
With sunshine and with shade,
And siivered Is the siIken hair
That o'er your shoulder strayed
In many a soft and wayward tress-
The fairest ever seen
When was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And You were seventeen.
Though gently changing time, Maggie,
Has touched you in his fight,
Your voice has still the old sweet tone,
Your eye the old love e-light;
And years can never, never change
