Ned, the Children's Dog.

Everybody in Midway. Ky. knows
old "Ned," the children's dog. He
formerly belonged to the late Mrs Mar.
garet Buford, but as there were nc
children at her house he came to town
and took up his abode at Mr.. S. N.
Rogers. He goes to school with the
children every morning and remains
there all day. When they go out to
play he goes. too, and is quite expert at
catching ball; indeed. in a game, he
takes the place of a child. When the
bell rings he is the first to run into the
school-house. and when the classes are
called up to recite he takes his place in
line at the foot. After the child next
above him has recited, he answers the
next question by IN intelligent bark and
bow of the head. Should question be
missed by the child at the foot of the class
and passed to the next by the teacher,
Ned" will answer it in his peculiar
way. Spelling seems to be his favorite
branch of study. his answers in that be-
ing exceedingly quick and vigorous.
Although he turns the children down,
after his fashion, he never goes above
them. He will fight for any of the pupils,
as well as teachers. and could not be in
duced to stay where there are no child
ren.-Cor. Chicago Times.

There was a crack under the kitchen

Der Mrs. Crispo began saying:
"Now. Crispo. don't let this day pass
without mailing down a cleat to stop
that crevice. 1t will let in more coal
this winter than two tons of coal Can
drive out"
And Crispo began replying:
Certainly. my dear-certainly. That
crevice shall be stopped this very day."
On fifteen different occasions in No
vember she reminded him of the fact
that he had forgotten the crevice. In
December the number of occasions was
twenty. During the month of January
she spoke OF it twenty-five times. In
February she began referring to the
matter at each meal, and the other day
she nailed him down with the remark:
.'Crispo, am going down town, and
I'll stop on my way aud ask carpenter
to come up and fix that door,"
"rll fix it." ..
mo you WON'T You just let it alone.
I'll have carpenter here before night,
and that door will be fixed"
81 say I'll fix it myself-right away
now" and in five minutes he had saw
and hammer and cleat and was at the
job.
Mrs. Crispo went off chuckling over
her victory. and upon her return her hus-
band said:
swell. the old crevice is shut up"
'.You fixed it. eha"
''Fixed it better than any carpenter
you could have sent up, and in ten min

She took one look at his work and then

Feeding for Eggs, not Fat.

The feeding of whole corn and nothing
else through the winter makes weak
fowls in the spring. Fowls will not lay
so well when thus fed. Corn makes too
! much fat. and after certain amount
has been made disease is probable. This
condition comes on when the hens should

As the warm season approa hes the
torpid state produced hv cold weather
begins to wear off, and the birds begin
to look about them with more activity.
If the fowls have been kept too high on
whole corn. the fact will now appear.
Excess of fat produces excess of heat,
and the unnatural heat weaSens the in
ternal organs to so great an extent that
they are unable to perform their required
Offices.
From this cause oftentimes fowls are
found dead on the nest, or beneath the
roost. The fowls NAV have appeared all
right the iay before. for only q close OBJ
server would discover anything amiss.
The laying organs have been weakened,
and in many instances destroyed by
the heat and fat, being crowded and
,ramped by it. Frequently the eggs
escape into the body and are not laid
IN the nest. This does not cause death
90 su ldenly as the other phase where
the eggs remain in the oviduct. In this
ease the fowl is active, goes on and Oh

This latter case is more frequently met
With in pullets when first coming into
aging. When the weather ia warm,
and the fowls are running at large. the
;rouble may be removed BY reduction

months their food should be varied. and
egg production stimulated an kept up
as much as possible. 1t is the business

eggs. and she will do it when running
