Sheep and Goats.

There has suddehly sprung up an old
idea of protecting sheep against dogs by
adding a goat or two in the flock to
drive the dogs away, etc.. But this
has hardly made its appearance before it
is contradicted. A gentleman of Wash
ington writes in New York paper that
it will not be tried more than once. He
trained pair of Angora goats Ga buck
and ewe) on one occasion to range with
his sheep for the latters protection; but
the chuck could Jump any fence in the
county, and could climb any tree grow
ing the corner of rail fence by first get
ting on the fence and then into the tree.
In quite short time every wether had
was as good jumper as the Angora buck,
and had not converted them into NUT
ton | would have had a valuable flock of
sheep ruined. Kill the dogs but keep
the sheep and goats separate here as we'll
as hereafter"
If the plentiful use of bells will not
protect sheep, herdmg or yarding should
be resorted to. The expense of erecting
rough fence, say seven feet in height,
and of course impenetrable to dogs, from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
feet square, is nothing to compare to the
loss of sheep. A fence solidly built of
rails, poles, ETC., would last the best part
of score of years, and there would be
no trouble of gathering the sheep into it
when once accustomed to it. Gerns1n-

If Ohio, in place of her 100000 dogs,
was to keep at the same expense the
same number of pigs, the figures would
stand something like this: 100000 pigs
kept one year would dress 60,000,000
pounds of pork, worth 100000. This
would be an equal gain, whereas now the
loss on sheep killed by dogs foots up into
the millions.

equal portions of butter and lard in the

Il was taught that fence posts should
be seasoned, but trial of bar posts set
green, seem to disprove it. Feeling en-
couraged in that direction, my brother,
about June l, 1915, sawed from thrifty
white oak trees, posts for fence in front
of our house. They were six by six inches
at the butt, three by six inches at top,
and were set at once, the fence being
completed in July. The fence is now
standing, and is in fair order, only two
posts having been renewed in the thirty
six years. We have proved ON this farm
that chestnut posts are more durable if
cut and peeled, and placed directly in
the ground.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

still another was of plain white linen with
a wide hem and broad band of ric-rac

Milk Breeding.

Dairy farmers are raisers of milk, they
ought to be breeders of milk. How
should this be done? Why should they
breed milk? What is breeding milk %
To answer these questions in their in
verse order: Breeding milk is selecting
and pairing animals SO that the yield of
milk in their progeny will make them
most remunerative for this quality. The
farmer who has first-rate mich COW,
or who would breed one can afford to
ignore every other quality except milk
yield and constitution. Still it is not
best to do so. Milk outweighs in value
every other product. Beef, labor and
calves, the only other products we get
from a neat animal, are insignificant
compared with milk, provided only we
are situated so that we can make use of
it. A great many dairy farmers calcu-
late to obtain all their cows by purchase
from drifting droves. That is buying
milk in anticipation; ant though such
milk may often be very good, the farmer
not only runs great risks of disease, con-
sumption and the like, but he loses both
the pleasure and profit of breeding his
own stock.
Breeding for milk is what many dairy
farmers claim to do. How many breed
milk?-obtain the actual resultp This
they ought to do, and they ought to take
pride in seeing their herd of deep milk
ers and rich mixers grow year after
year in both quantity and quality of the
product from the same number of cows
In almost every dairy section there are
some such farmers. They buy from the
COW dealer only to fill an empty stall. or
to feed up surplus crops Their herd is
their own. They know its pedigree and
its produce, and they know that it pays
them to raise their own cows.
The milk-breeder selects his COWS,
looking first to quantity and richness of
the milk. The two must be combined
for the pest results-and they may be.
1t is true that the greatest mixers sell
dom give the richest milk, but many OF
them yield milk of excellent quality.
These cows should of course be we'll
shaped and of good constitution, free
from swollen glands in the TANKS, thick
through the heart, and good handlers.
Nothing gives SO correct an idea of q
cows health as her hide. 1t is hard to
describe how it should feel, but easy to
say how it should not. 1t must not stick
to the ribs, nor be thick or lumpy, nor
must it be thin and flabby, and the hair
must not be dead and clammy, nor harsh
and wiry. A soft, mellow, mobile hide,
unctious to the touch, yielding to pres
sure, yet elastic and loose upon the sides,
with hair not unnecessarily fine and soft,
but fresh and healthy, furry and elastic.
Such hide and hair indicates a good
constitution and at the same time good
health. No one can Judge of the con-
stitution of an animal, if from any cause
it is not quite well.-American Dairy
man.

Assessment Life Insurance Irregularities.

The Chicago Tribune says editorially: IF
anything were needed to show the necessity
for stringent law restraining the assessment
or cooperative life-insurance craze it is
shown by our Columbus dispatch, which con-
firms the report of some Ohio miscreant hav-
ing taken risk on the elder Mrs. Garfeld's
life in one of the speculative companies. There
is great excitement and indignation at the
State Capital and throughout Ohio in conse-
quence OF this and other recent similar dis
coveries. The passage of strong protective
law by the present legislature will undoubted-
lyresult" The dispatch is as follows. ''Great
Indignation has been occasioned by the verif-
cation OF the report that some miserable specu-
lator in human life has taken out policy for
$1,000 on the life of Mrs. Garfield, the late
President Gartleld's mother, without her
knowledge or consent, in the STANDARD
Mutual Aid Society" of Mansfield. Mrs. Gar
field is over eighty years old, and her insurer
probably rightly calculated that he would not
have to pay many assessments before he could
realize on his policy. Insurance Commissioner
Moore has all the evidence in his possession,
but will not disclose it until it is given in his
forthcoming report, which promises some
startling Developments in respect, to other
companies OF this kind. Senator Horr's bill
Tor regulating these assessment societies, it is
believed, will go through both Houses without
opposition. The Legislature is determined to
gTapple with assessment life insurance, by
means OF which alone the graveyard rascality
is possible, and put an end to it before it dis
graces this State as it has Pennsylvania"

Raise Your Own Fish.

BY attaching pump, propelled by
the wind, to a well you can supply a
basin from fifty to seventy-fve feet in
diameter and six to eight feet deep, with
water sufficient to raise several thousand
carp or other fish. The cost of this pond
and appurtenances need not exceed fifty
dollars. The bottom and sides need to
be cemented thoroughly. When the
basin is complete, place in it small
quantity of brush or floating weeds If
you intend to raise carp, do not place
other fish of predatory character in the
pond. The spawning will occur during
the spring months, the female LAYING
from $4,000 to 100000 eggs. The eggs
will adhere to whatever they touch, and
will soon hatch. The green scum of
partially stagnant pond is fine food for
the young fish. Mud in the bottom of
the pond is beneficial The fish will feed
readily on kitchen-garden refuse, such
as cabbage, leek, lettuce, hominy or other
substances. Water seldom becomes too
warm for these fish. During. freezing
weather they bury themselves in the
mud at the bottom Of the pond. While
in this condition they should not be dis
turbed. In a pond of the given di-
mansions several thousand fish have
annually been taken. If weeds and
grass grow profusely about the borders
OF the pond, so much better for the fish.
In two years time you can have an
abundant and constant supply of sport
and food, and the advantage of pond
to assist in identifying your home.-De-
trout Post and Tribune.

Extract of Letter in New York Sun.

well-known sportsman from the North,
while hunting in Florida was recently bitten
BY rattlesnake when twelve miles from home
and without whisky. The colored driver of
the party had, however, in his pocket bottle
of pain killer, which he insisted the wounded
man should drink and apply to the bitten spot.
For want of any other remedy, real or sup
posed, this was done, and cure was effected.
Since then Davis Pain Killer has been made a

The Society of Public Analysis of
Great Britain has adopted standard
for the poorest milk of nine per cent of
solids and twenty-five per cent. of fats.
Professor Cameron states that examina-
tons of the milk of forty-two
short horn cows, during the winter
of 1880, gave go per cent. of solids
and APO per cent. of fats in the poorest
milk, the cows being housed and well
fed. The average yield per day was
III quarts per COW. In every instance
more milk was given in the morning
than in the evening. The quality of
milk improved in each case as the time
for calving drew near. The older COWS
were found to give both more and better
milk than the younger ones.

Soap Grease or Freedom.


At one time during the civil war, when
the Yankees made raid into Ouachlta
Parish, La, good many negroes went
off with them. Among the numberwho
started was an old woman living in
Monroe. She seemel quite rejoiced at
the idea of being free; she clapped her
hands and shouted and called her friends
to 90 with her. "Come long wild me,
folkses, I'm gwine to glory! Gwine to
glory in dis here Vaughn! Come long,
all of you, an go wild me to glory!
Gloryr' !,
But when the baggage was inspected
it was found that Aunt MISSY was
taking an undue allowance, for besides
her trunks she had several kegs, bags
and barrels, some containing ashes, and
others full of old bones and meat skins
for soap-grease. The officer had them
all thrown out into the street, declining
to transport such freight. This highly
incensed Aunt MISSY. She quit shout
ing glory and Indignantly jumped
out of the wagon, and refused to go a
step toward freedom without her treas
ures.
You 'speck me to go Norf an leave

Some one reminded Aunt MISSY that
she was losing glorious opportunity
for gaining her freedom, but she
muttered: What's use bein' free if you
amt got no soap-grease?"
So her trunks and her "blue chis''
were histed down." and she returned
home, happy to resume her old life
rather than part with her cherished soap
grease.-Detr0I Free Press.
