PorAroEs FOR SEED.-A writer, in ref
erence to selecting potatoes for seed, re-
commends that the seed be selected in the
Fall, while selection is possible, and that
tubers coming the nearest to the type de-
sired in potato, be chosen. That is he
would select long, rather slender, medi-
um sized potato smooth, with eyes not
deeply sunken, and then, if preserved In
the cellar, he would cover with sods to
prevent sprouting.

AScRAP BooK.-Every farmer should
keep scrap book in which to paste
agricultural scraps. Every one, in
reading a paper, will see number of
things which he will wish to remem-
Der. He will perhaps see suggestions,
the value of which he will desire to
test, or hints which he want to be gov
erned by in future operations. And
yet, after reading the paper he will
probably never see it again. In such
case all the valuable articles will be
lost. 70 prevent such loss every read
er should clip from the papers such ar
tieles as he desires to preserve and re-
member, and paste them in a scrap
book. Such a book, at the end OF a
year or two, will be very interesting
and valuable.

How thew Train Sheep Dogs.

The Rev. C. E. Babb, in one of his
letters from California, tells of what
an old shepherd told him how they
train the famous shepherd dogs in
Southern California. He says you may
60 over the plains and hills there for
miles, and see thousands of sheep, but
not man to watch them. Around
each flock or band of say thousand
sheep are half dozen dogs of a pecu-
liar breed-dogs whose progenitors
were imported from the sheep pastures
of the old world. These dogs take the
entire care Of the sheep, drive them out
to the pasture in the morning, keep
them from straying during the day,
and bring them home at night. These
dogs have inherited talent for keep
ing sheep, but the shepherds do not
depend wholly on that. They Guilt
vate it in this way-so at least, the old
shepherd says:
"When a lamb is born it is taken
away from the mother sheep before she
had seen it and puppy put in its place.
The sheep suckles the puppy and learns
to love it. When the puppy grows old
enough to eat meat it is fed in the morn
ing and sent out with the sheep. 1t
STAYS with them because it is accustom-
ed to be with its mother, but it cannot
feed with them. AS they get full the
dog gets hungry. At length impa-
tient to return where it can get anoth-
er piece of meat, it begins to tease and
worry its mother, and finally starts her
home; the other sheep follow, and thus
the whole flock is brought in. If the
dog brings the sheep in too soon, or
comes without them, he gets no sup
per, or is punished in some way. Hence
be soon learns when to come, and to
see to it that none of his charge are
left behind. These animals are train
ed by taking advantage of their in
stinct and appetites."
