Henry Clay's Dog.

Mr.. Clay had a fine Newfoundland
dog that was presented by an admiring
friend who lived in Nova Scotia. The
dog was very intelligent, and the Usage
of Ashland" trained him with his own
hand to perform number of wonder
full tricks, one of which is as follows: In
one of the pastures in which Mr.. Clay
allowed his finest stock to run was o
fine well, with a large trough attached,
by means of which the cattle were sup
piled with water. The water was drawn
from the well by the bucket-and-spindle
system, but it required great deal of
manual labor to keep it in operation.
TO avoid this Mr.. Clay constructed a
small treadmill, attached it to the spin
die of the well with an iron crank, and
then trained the dog to walk the tread
mill. In this manner the trough was
kept constantly filled with water, and
the clever dog became so accustomed
to the performance that, without the
necessity of being bid he made it his
duty to watch the well constantly and
see that the trough always had in it a
sufficient supply of water to keep the
coppers of the blooded stock cool. Mr.
Clay loved the dog, and was fond of
watching him go through the perform
ance. He would always have the per-
Torrance exhibited to his visitors, and
when the good old canine finally gave up
the ghost he had him respectfully bu-
ried, and erected at the head of his
grave an elegant marble slab.

THE DAIRY.


AS LITTLE light as possible should be
admitted into the milk house. Light
is liable to blanch the cream.
INCREASING THE MILK OF Cows
Gentle treatment and rapid and close
milking will tend to the greatest de-
velopment of the milk in cows and the
contrary practices will have the effect
of materially reducing the quantity.
Above all give them an abundance of
the best feed.
A CONNECTICUT dalryman, who has
been experimenting with turnips as
food for cows, thinks they are worth
twenty-five cents per bushel. There was
nosaving in the amount of hay consumed,
but they increased the flow OF milk,
and were an aid to the digestion of hay
and other dry fodder. European ex-
perimenters have come to the same
conclusion.
"WHAT does pound of butter costP'
and "What should a pound of butter
costp'' are questions suitable for farmers
clubs and oranges to wrestle with I'M
til they arrive at a solution. The cost
of pound of butter depends largely
upon whether the COW is a good dairy
animal. Some cows will produce but
ter at much lower cost than others.
Undoubtedly the present cost of produc-
ton might be considerably reduced by
giving attention to the breeding of COWS
adapted to butter making and feeding
as will produce the most economical re-
suits. Good COWS should first be Sc
cured, and then they should befed such
foods as are found by trial to produce
the best results, and fed to the full ex-
tent of their power to proftably convert
the feed into milk and butter. -Lea0iSton
Journal.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New En-
gland Farmer gives the following de-
scription of milking stool which he says
he likes better than any he ever used:
" Take board eight inches wide and
eighteen long, and nail another piece
eight inches square, on the top side, at
one end to sit on; on the under side,
about four inches from the front end,
