A DOGS LONG SWIM.

The most remarkable instance of Jets
homing instinct occurred when we were
forced to conclude he must have been
taken away on some vessel, coming in
near our place for water. He had been
gone all the week, and we were greatly
in fear we should never see him again.
On Saturday afternoon we had been out
to ledge of rocks, mile off shore, in the
sail-boat, after weakfish and Holsters,
and, as we made sail and turned for our
home on the Navesink Highlands, one
of the boys on the forward locks. sang
out: There is something adrift over
toward Sandy Hook. Let's run out and
see what lis y The sharp-cyed young
sters brought the glass to bear on the
drifting object, and declared they
believed it was something moving. So
we put the helm down and steered for
the speck on water, which only the
brightest eyes on board could make out
We ran on and on, long stretch, and
then the boy with the glass suddenly
exclaimed " | do believe it is our Jet I"
And so, indeed, 1t was AS we run
past him and came up in the wind, to
pick him up. the dear old fellow recognize
ed us, and followed the boat, as she
turned, with as grateful eyes as ever
were seen in the world. When we drag
ed him aboard, he sank into the bottom
of the boat utterly exhausted. He
could not raise his head when he got
home, and We had to carry him up the
bank on a seine-barrow. 1t was MANY
a long day before Jet recovered from
that soaking. and he was not at all free
about going into the water again al
summer. Where be had been, how b,

Of all the roots usually grown, the
sugar-beet is the best for sheep, being
the most palatable, and containing the
greatest proportions of solid nutritious
matter. Considering the large quantity
of water contained in them, roots may
be considered as highly nutritious food,
and when fed in conjunction with dry
fodder, and in proper proportions, are
greatly conducive to the health and
growth of tie sheep. Their effect upon
the quality of the wool, especially the
lustrous wool of some of the long-Wooled
is very favorable. The proper quantity
Of roots to be given depends upon the
kind of sheep. AS a safe guide, it may
be estimated that one bushel of roots
will be a sufficient daily allowance for
10 sheep weighing $50 pounds each,
live weight, if along with the roots,
l-2 pound of hay and IL pound of meal
or bran per head be given. But the
daily ration of roots must be apportion-
ed with care and judgment. For lambs
five to six pounds daily will be sufi-
cient; for two-year-Olds and mature
sheep, 10 to Is pounds will be ample
allowance; the smaller quantity being
enough for South Down. and the larg-
err for full-grown COtswold, Leicester
or Lincoln. For Merino much less
quantity should be appOrtioned, as this
breed cannot produce fleece of good
quality, or great weight, without being
supplied with enough oily matter to Sc
crets the large amount of yolk which
their fleece contains.

A POWERFUL PLEA FOR TEMpERANc

A POWERFUL PLEA FOR TEMPERANCE.
"A lady reported shocking case of
intemperance, sickness and restitution
existing in miserable two-story tene-
ment house on Troy avenue, Brooklyn,
N. Y. The captain of police repaired
to the place without delay, and he de-
scribes the scene of misery as most pain
full. On the stats of bed devoid of all
bed-clothes, lay drunken husband and
father, one Daniel Riley. aged 40 years
laborer. In chair near by was seated
Jane Riley, in an unconscious condition,
and about to become a mother. She
was moaning piteously. In corner of
wretched room, which was devoid of a
spark of fire, crouched four children,
whose ages ranged from three years to
nine years. They had barely sufficient
clothes on their little shivering bodies
to conceal their nakedness. Not a
crumb of any kind was found in the
place, and cold wind found its way into
the wretched apartment through the
door panels, which had been cut out fol
fire wood by the unfortunate mother dur
ing the night.

The society for the prevention of cru
city to children recently caused the ar
rest of saloon keeper in Essex street,
New York, for selling liquor to boy
named Joseph Lawton, and aged twelve
years, whom the police found "helpless-
ly intoxicated" The saloon-keeper was
held for trial, and, in default of $500
bail, was committed to prison. The ar
rest is commendable, whatever may be
the outcome of it in the courts, over
which the drink interests exerts so pow
erful and controlling an interest. Any
restraint which may be thus be brought
to bear upon an evil which here assumes
very large proportions will be both a
personal and public benefit.

Cows IN MILK In many countries,
says the Agricultural Gazette, part or all
of the field work is done by cows, and
if these cannot be we'll cared for, or if
they are over-worked, the flow of milk is
Immediately more or less diminished.
On the other side, the advantages of a
moderate exercise for the COWS ought
not to be moderated. Cows want exer-
else aid fresh air as we'll as other ami
mails, and how often do they get little
or nothing of either? How can we ex-
pect COW to be healthy if she Is kept
altogether in the stables where she in
hales constantly bad air and how can
she bear healthy and fully developed
calves under such circumstances ? Mod
crate work for cows cannot be condemn
ed in principle, provided they are not
Overtired, and the slight decrease Of
milk, which is unavoidable, is more than
covered by the work accomplished
Cows in milk ought not to work longer
than three hours day.

DO FARM ERs WISELY CHOOSE
OCCUPATIONS FOR THEIR
SONS!

AT late meeting of the Syracuse
Farmers Club Mr.. Edwards said: "a
farmer has two sons; one has strong
physical development and natural taste
for farming to use the hoe and follow
the pillow day after day is both congenial
to his feelings and his health; his mind
rests in quiet satisfaction as he looks
out upon his fathers broad acres, and
views with manly pride the growing
fOcks and fattening herd, and estimates
in dollars and cents their value. The
other son lacks the physical strength of
his brother, but has fine, sensitive nerves
and deep thirst for scientific or legal
knowledge He goes to the fields with
his brother. with heavy tread because it
is his duty to go, but his thoughts are
among the planets, trying to calculate
their distances from earth, and the in
fuence they have upon the seasons
Such boy can never make successful
farmer, no more than the other can make
a successful astronomer. Parents should
at least be as wise in looking after the
fitness of their boys for their chosen
business, as they would in training their
colts. But how is it? A farmer goes
out to examine his young horses there
is four-year-old "Dick," large, strong,
se-jointed, and mild-tempered, slow
and steady, good horse for the team.
There is young Flora, smaller, long
iointed, with deer-like limbs, and high
temper, can be made to trot in 2.20,
worth $4,000. No farmer will ever
make the mistake, and put Dick in train
ing for the race-course and send Flora to
haul stone. Now, his boys are just as
unlike as his colts and need as different
training. The judge naturally wants
his sons to become lawyers, so, too, the
minister, merchant, mechanic and farm
er too often insist that their boys follow
the inclination of the parent rather than
their own. 1t is fact that most of the
failures result from not putting the right
man in the right place. Had Franklin
always been kept at the tallow chambers
trade, the lightning might never have
been subservient to the will of man in
transmitting our thoughts from CONT.
nent to continent in moment of time
Had Edison been put upon farm, and
kept there, his whisperings would moi
have been heard from city to CITY,"

Dry Cows.-It is common practice
among some dairymen to give their cows
when dry, but scanty living. When a
COW ceases to give milk, or is dried up,
any feed is considered good enough for
her. ] think this is great mistake.
and the result is a diminished product
of milk, both i'll quantity and quality,
when she does come in. There is a large
draught on the system to sustain the
calf while the COW is carrying it; and
to keep the COW in good condition good
feed is as important as when she is Civ
ing milk. 1t is my opinion that one
dollars worth of food when the COW is
dry is worth one and half dollar after
she comes in. An animal in poor con-
ditiOn cannot digest as much food as an
animal in good condition. If the COW
is poor when she comes in she will not
digest enough food to support the sys-
TEN, and, at the same time. to make a
large quantity of milk-Monthly Bul-
