Valuable Does

According to one OF the oldest dog fam
ciers in New York the rarest and most
| valuable dogs in that oily are bull.
blooded bloodhounds and bull dogs
Deerhounds-'thin, long, rough hare d
dOgs-are also scarce, and are worth.
when tull.grown, from 500 to 5000 apiece,
FoXhounds are worth from $25 to $50,
barriers from $40 to $50, grey,
hounds from $15 to $25. German
beagles from $15 to 500. Italian grey
hounds, which were the first pet dogs
ladies had in this country, were at one
time worth as high as $40 apiece, but
now, having gone out of fashion, sell for
much less. At present the greatest de-
manu is for Gordon settlers, breed of
dogs which comes from the kennels OF
the Duke Of Gordon, in Scotland, and
when of proper color-pure black-and-
tan-bring from 500 to 5000. Next to
them come the red Irish settlers, which
sell for 500 apiece, and the English or
ange anu white, which are quoted some-
what cheaper. Spaniels are not so FASH
lonable as settlers, and sell at a lower
figure.
The Clumber, or land spaniels, sell
from $25 to S5) apiece, the brown water
spaniel at $15 apiece. Cocker spahiels
sometimes bring as high as $50, and
AluS NudlleS SpdHlGl5 AS ulSQ as S2OU.
Pointers are not lavorites in this coun
try, for forests are too thick for them and
the brush tears their skins, which are
not coated as heavily as the settlers or
cookers. The d0uble-nosed or Spanish
pointers al worth all the way up to
$500 apiece. Besides the game dogs.
Siberian bloodhounds, Pomeranian wolt.
dogs, and Dane dogs are sold in New
York.
One OF the latter, thirty-four inches
high, was recently disposed of for $3.50.
ST. Bernard dogs are quoted at from $3.50
to 5000 apiece, and white bull-terriers,
tor hghting purposes, at 5000. Fox ter
riers and Dlndle Dlnmont terriers bring
from $40 TO $25 apiece. Skye terriers,
black-and.tan terriers and English pugs
are all ladies' dogs. The latter sell IRON
500 up, the former often bring $150. For
a black-And-tan of extraordinary small |
size New York lady recently paid 500.
The animal weighed just two pounds and |
ten ounces.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sunstroke in Horses.


The extreme hot weather in various parts
Of the country is having its usual effect in
producing sunstroke in men and horses.
Very much of the danger from sunstroke in
men may be obviated by wearing cabbage
leaf, horse radish or plantain leaves in the
hat over the head. So light piece of mus.
lin depending from the rear of the hat down
the neck will be found beneficial A damp
sponge or light shade thrown over the horses
head will also be found great protection
from distress of this kind. It is usually sup
posed that an attack from sunstroke Is in
Simultaneous. Such, however, is not the fact,
although the alarming symptoms are sudden
ly developed. The premonitory symptoms
are loss of appetite, dryness OF the skin,
slow, weak pulse, and hot mouth.
Whenever an animal of any kind shows
symptoms of exhaustion from heat, it should
be Immediately released from work and al
lowed to lie in the shade, or better, a cool
box in the stable. The head should be bathed
with water; stimulants should be given
either sulphurous or nitrous ether well diluted
with water. In cases of complete ,prostra-
ton, however, great care should be exercised
in administering medicine before reaction
takes place. Keep blankets wrung out of
warm water to the body, and battle head
with cold water; or better, apply pounded
ice. As the pulse becomes stronger, and the
animal begins to notice surrounding objects,
give cold water a little at time. Get him
10 his feet, and when he partially regains
strength, give bran mash. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that an animal that has
suffered sunstroke will be feeble for some
time to come, and must be carefully used
until the system fully RECEIVERS from the
stroke.-Mirror and Farmer.

Proper Time to Manure Trees.

People often argue whether it is best to
manure trees in the fall or in the spring, bat
we think that any one who tries it will find
that the summer is as good time as any.
1t is only few years ago that it has been
discovered that plants are like animals in
this-that they, while appearing to be ex-
pending their daily nourishment on continu-
Gus growth, are really at the same time lay.
ing up food for tomorrow. Those who have
examined vegetable cellular structure with a
microscope, tell us that the formation is ex-
actly like that of honey-comb, the cells ~
ing together of hexagonal shape, as if
made by bees. But it proves shat this struc-
ture is more like the illustration than those
who used it suspected, in this-that as in the
honey comb, honey is stored up for use at a
further time, so matter is stored up in these
little plant cells for the future use of the
plant. There are in almost all plants two
growths during the season. The first growth
is formed almost wholly from the matter
stored up in the cells of the previous year.
After midsummer, especially in the apple
tree, the whole OF the force derived from the
past year is expended, and it stores up a little
for new growth, which is soon after made.
As the season progresses, the latter or sec
ondary growth also in turn lays up some
matter in its cells, for the next season, as
the past season has done.
Trees always like fresh food as we'll as ami
mails; and TINS it is with this explanation
that one can readily understand how it is
that top-dressing of good manure put un-
der the trees soon after midsummer, when
the second growth is about to take place,
produces the marked good results we have
before recorded. Meehan

As we two slowly walked, that night,
Silence fell on u.s. as OF fear;
was afraid to face the light,
Lest you should see that loved you, dear.
You drew my arm against your heart
So close could feel it beating near:
You were brave enough for lovers part
You were so sure that loved you, dear.
Then you murmured word or two
ana tenderly stopped your listening ear;
For you thought that all you had to do
was to hear me say that loved you, dear.
But, though your face was SO close to mine
mat you touched my cheek with your chestnut
wouldn't my lips to yours resign;
And YETI loved you'll loved you, dear.
And all at once you were cold and pale.
Because you thought that did not care;
cried little behind my veil
But that was because loved you, dear.
And SO you thought twas a drop of rain
That splashed your hand? But twas tear;
For then you said you'd never again
Ask me to say that loved you, dear.
Well, will tell-if you'll listen now:
thought of the words you said, last year;
How we girls weren't coy enough, and how
There were half dozen that loved you, dear.
And was afraid that you held me light,
And an imp at my shoulder said, beware!
He's Just In wooing mood, tonight"
SO wouldn't say that loved you, dear.
Not though thought you the man of men,
Cheftest OF heroes, brave and rare;
Not though never shall love again
ANY man as l loved you, dear.
have suffered, and so have you
And, to- nigh, if you were but standing here,
I'd make you an answer, straight and true,
If you'd ask again ii l loved you, dear.

ducing the dark green tints of the foliage, and
in increasing the brilliancy of the hues of
flowers; and even the white flowers or roses
that are nearly white will be greatly improved
by weekly application of iron and soapsuds,
Iron filings or scales, which can be procured
at the blacksmith's or at any machine shop,
can be scattered over the garden beds and
form more permanent fertilizer than the
liquid application, but its effects will not be
seen so quickly.
Sandy soils can be made very much more
fertile by the use OF iron. Vegetables of all
kinds can also be forced in rapid manner
by watering them with the iron and soap
suds. Melons and cucumbers were highly
benefited by it last season.

Selling the Old Farm.

There is constant buying and selling of
farms going on from year to year in our cOun-
try. This restlessness on the part of the
farmer and this desire to change present To-
cation for another one hundred of miles off,
is so frequently witnessed in our day that we
cease to wonder at it. In the time of our
forefathers, when a man was settled on a
farm he commonly continued on it through
life, and then left it for his son. In times
gone by, the same farm was occupied by the
grandfather and so on by the son, and grand
son. Then the good old homestead was rev.
erenced and the occupancy of i: was esteemed
a great privilege. There was a satisfaction
felt by the successor that his predecessor was
his relative, cultivated the same fields, wan
dered by the same brooks, traversed the same
hills, and ate of the fruit of the same Or
chard. Then there was a home feeling,
home associations, and home attachments.
Now the farmer looks more to his pecuniary
gains, and when offered large price for his
land, hesitates not to sell. He quits his
beautiful home, his well.cultivated acres, en-
igates to the Far West, and commences life
of hardship that he never dreamed of. 1t
can be safely said that where one man sue
ceeds in this undertaking many fail. If he
could only sell his new farm, how gladly
would he hie back to the old home, now oc-
cupied by strangers, and the enclosure con-
tanning the graves of his kindred going to ruin.
With the advent of spring, many will dispose
of their farms and remove to far-off coun-
try, TO undergo the privations and troubles
incident upon establishing home in new
country. Our advice is to remain where you
are. If you are comfortably of, be contented
to remain so. Do not exchange certainty
for an uncertainty, unless powerful reasons
are brought to bear upon you to seek new
settlement in distant region. Stick to the
old farm, for it has never failed you in time
of need.-N. e. Homestead.

Fodder Corn.

Fodder corn is, In this state, the stand ard
crop for fall-feeding; 1t is easily raised and
cut, and when properly grown, is highly rel
ished by cows. Its value, we think, depends
almost wholly on the manner in which it is
grown. If sown broadcast on good ground it
soon becomes perfect swamp, into which
the rays of the sun do not penetrate and
where all is darkness and dampness. This
causes the stalks and lower leaves to rot and
mould, and not only makes the crop sour
and unpalatable to stock, but prevents it
from maturing enough to contain much val
ne as food. But if sown in drills and prop
erly tended, it will so mature as to be rel
ished by stock, and to supply the place of
the succulent grasses, which are depended
upon early in the season.
1t should not be cut when too green, and
should, therefore, be sown early enough to
give it time to tassel out before it is needed
for use; and if the plot which man devotes
to this crop is sown at different times, it will
better answer the purpose for which it is in
tended. We prefer sweet corn (S!owelps
Evergreen as it grows less rank, is more nu-
tritious, and more palateable. A fair coating
of manure and mellow soil are needed to
grow it to perfection. The rows we would
not make less than d feet apart, and seed
not more than twenty kernels to the foot
1t need not be hoed at all, but cultivator
should be run through 1t two or three times
before it gets TO be too large. A great guam
tity can be grown on small space, and from
the first of August to fall-feeding time it can
be used with profit. -Mirror and Farmer.
