Training Shepherd Dopa


When riding in Scotland it is a COM
mon thing to meet n large flock of
sheep guarded by one or two dogs, at
the distance of some miles from any
house or man. / often wondered how
SO firm friendship has been establish
ed. The method of education consists
In separating the puppy, while very
young, from its mother, and i'm accus-
toming 1t TO its future companions. A
eve 10 held three or four times a day
for the little thing TO suck; and a nest
Of wool is made for 1t in the sheep pen.
at no time Is it allowed to associate
with other dogs, Or with the children
of the family. From this educa Ion 1t
has no wish TO leave the flockS; and,
just as another dog will defend its mas
ter, man, so will these dogs defend the
sheep. 1t iS amusing to observe, when
approaching deck, how the dog i'm.
msdiately advances barking, and the
sheep all close in his rear, as If round
the Oldest ram. These dogs are easily
taught to bring home the flock a6 a
certain hour in the evening. Their
most troublesome fault when young, I'm
their desire to play with the sheep,
for in their sport they sometimes gal
lop the poor things numerically. The
shepherd dog comes to the house every
day for some meat, and as soon as it is
given him he skulks away as If asnam-
ed OF himself. On these occasions the
house dogs are very tyrannical, and
the least of them will attack and pur-
sue the stranger. The minute, how
ever the latter his reached his flock, he
tarns around and begins to bark, and
then all the house-dogs take quickly
to their heels. In similar manner, a
whole pack Of hungry wild dogs will
scarcely ever venture to attack a flock
guarded by even one of these faithful
shepherds. In this case the shepherd
dog seems to regard the sheep as ito
fellow-brethren, and thus gains Golf
dence; and the wild dogs, though
knowing that the sheep are not dogs,
but are good to eat, yet, when seeing
them in flock with shepherd dog at
their head, partly consent to regard
them as he does.

HUMOROUS.

Cor 'EM TIGHT-A gentle minded
old citizen, In Detroit, has for the past
year visited the Chief of Police about
once per week to consult with him
on the best methodsof keeping bur-
glars out of his house. Although
having nothing In 1t to attract
the cupidity OF this class of bad
men, the old gent has lived In mortal
terror of nightly visit. He has nall
ed down his windows, put extra locks
ana bolts on the doors, set up burglar
alarm OF his own invention, and neg
lccted no advice rendered by the po-
lice. One day, recently, he entered
the Chiefs Office and contlder TALLY re-
marked:
''l've got the best thing yet! I'm
going TO put iron shutters on the inside
of every window"
The Chief advised against any such
expense, and the old man retired to in
vent some cheaper precaution. He re-
turned In short time smiling and
happy.
"I've got 'cm now-got 'em tight ="
he whispered as he rubbed his hands.
1--WE all sleep upstairs, and tonight
I'm going to take up the carpet and
paint every step from top to bottom,
and g0 over iU with new coat every
night! just imagine how taken back
burglar will be when he sees the
trick"

There is a farm near Evergreen Park,
Chicago, known as Shipp's Place, that bears
the reputation of being fatal to nearly every
one coming within It's boundaries. The last
incident was the death of the owner, Mr..
Alfred Shipp, on the first instant, bv being
impalcd upon the horns of an angry bull.
lie had gone into the field to feed the ami
mai, when he was pinned To an upright post
by thrust of the horn that passed entirely
through his body. This Inflated locality
has within the last ten years been the scene
OF seven violent or sudden deaths, without
counting dozen narrow escapes from hor.
rible accidents. About three years ago
during the absence of the family, August
Franks, hired man, was killed by Will
liam Orvitt, fellow hborer, for the pur-
pose of robbery Franks lived two days.
ard Orvitt is now in prison serving Il term
OF two years. Six years ago two brothers,
laborers, who occupied cabin, were found
dead, each with bloody knife IN his
grasp, while the scattered cards gave the
only indication of the cause of the Quarrel.
The last incident was preceded by an Irish
man perlshing under one OF the trees during
n violent snow storm. An accidemlal dis
charge of fowling- piece caused the death
OF man at the hands Of brother sports
man while aiming at "A rabbit. A few
years since Mr.. Smith, lawyer OF Chi
cago, purchased ten acres of the farm, and
commenced tie building of an elegant
country residence. After the house was
partly up the purchaser brought his wife to
view the premises, and she was to stay
few days at the farmhouse She was sud
denly Frustrated with illness, and notwith-
standing the best medical attendance, she
survived only few days. The unhappy
purchaser never finished his suburban resi-
dencc, and the Unfinished barn stands lonely
in the grove, melancholy evidence of ne
glect, seeming a silent witness to some sad
and mournful history. The farm seems,
indeed, TO be fated. Its history is a history
of tragedies, each one sadder than its pre-
decessor. The last one breaks up happy
home and scatters a happy family.

CURING BAR-TEMPERED HORSES -
The stable-boy told me year or so ago
that my horse had got to acting very
ugly when he drove hiin out of the
carriage corresponding, jumping,
backing, and cutting up generally. On
taking the reins myself the next time
he was harnessed found that this was
indeed the case. had some difficulty
in getting into the street without
knocking the carriage 10 pieces against
the gate-poStS, and when we got there
there was quite circus exhibition be-
fore we behaved ourselves. took a
night TO mediate upon the difficulty,

an apple and gave hlm, and while he
was enjoying 1t got into the buggy aud
took up the lines, and he walked out of
the barn AS quietly as kitten. For
more than six months afterward he
never showed the slightest return of
his rebelliouS behavior, thinking, no
doubt, every time he was harnessed, of
that delicious apple, though the luxury
of bribery had not been once repeated.
But, few weeks ago, the lad who takes

habit of horse that grows out OF vexa-

of this animal, and his moral Constitu-
tion too, are much like that of a child.

A Strange Story.

"You will remember" said young
English lawyer to his wife ''that on my
return here after marriage we took
small house in one OF the principal
streets of Londcn, not by any means an
old building, or in any way different
from the ordinary run OF houses of the

mentioned TO me that she had dreamed

when she had been in bed about an
hour. She was not in the least ner-
vous about il, nor gave me the small
est hint that she suspected anything
out of the common. About three dave
after our conversation, we were dress

from my dressing-room to my wife's

A DRIVING HoRsE.-It is not always
such an expensive luxury ON the farm
as some seem TO thick, when we consid-
er the wear and strain it takes from the
regular farm horses. On all large
farms, or on small ones where there is
much driving to do, good driving
horse is real necessity. Although it
is not generally known known, yet 1t
is fact that half days drive, even at
an ordinary gait, Is more severe on a re-
gular farm work horse than two DAYS
regular work on the farm. The reason
for this Is apparent when we take into
consideration the fact that q horses
muscles become set to particular kind
of work and the strain is unusual and
severe when put to other purposes than
the regular one. 1t is about aS hard
for family driving horse-we mean a
good stepping one-to be put to regular
farm work, such as plowing, harrow
ing and cultivation, as it Is to take a
plow horse and put him to road service.
Keep the farm horses on the farm
where they belong and il you live far
from pOst-Office, store and church, keep
driving horse and you will make by
it in the increased good looks and Ion
gevity Of your farm ANIMALS. Many a
farmer stays away from church on
Sundays because his horses nave been
hard at work all the week and should
rest on that day. Social intercourse
with neighborB is also put off until
slack time with the horses on the same
account, and for the want of q coed
driving horse, which the farmer can
raise for himself, many pleasures are
given up. ~

BE GENTLE WITH Cows.-A New
York State dairyman gives his method
of treating cows as follows: "The
cows are generally driven to the barn
each night ard morning Ii they do not,
as Is usually the case, come of their
own accord, when they take tn cir
places in the stable, each In its own
particular stancheon with mathemati-
cal preciseness. No dog, no fright or
worry Is permitted, and the milking is
done quietly and orderly, with no loud
talking, no sudden and startling voices.
There is no patting of the cows on the
back with the stool, no persuading
with the toe OF the boot. no coaxing at
the top Of the voice. They are made
to give down by generous feeding
and gentle treatment, and the princi-
pie of kindness is illustrated by the
depth of the cream on their milk"
