Farmers and DOES.

1.-THE farmers of the country who own
worthless dogs, says the Breeders Ga
zette, could be induced to destroy them
and substitute one wcll-bred shepherd
pup. not more. to each farm. the wealth
Ut every farming community would be
vastly increased in many ways. Farm
ers, with q little tact in getting
along with a dog, would soon find the
and anxious to learn, willing to do
everything within his power, the young
dog needs only wise and patient re-
straint, an intelligent direction to be.
come the most useful hand on the
place. The colly is an alert and dis.
criminative watchdog answering for
this purpose far better than the heavy,
sleeping, stupid, savag. bull or mastitf,
who is liable to attack his best friend or
eat up child. As colly acquires age
and dignity, if he has been we'll taught,
he imagines that the whole business of
the farm hinges upon the performance
of his duties, and he becomes as. pune
tual and regular as the sun. Canine COM
partnership, if at liberty. has bad eff
feet upon the colly in most instances.
Where an old and wise dog is used to
tutor youngsters by good example while
at work, it will do to have two or more
together. The duties of the colly are
practical and mean work companion
ship means play and is demoraliz,ng.
Especially is this true of companionship
with hunting dog. The shepherd dog
has enormous perceptives, and is very
i,nitative; no quickly goes wild over
game when led by hunting dog, conse-
quently neg!ects and shirks his work,
and is spoiled.

Better Farming.

We say to two-thirds OF the farmers OF
Iowa-knowing what we say, and saying
1t with our teeth clInched and our
nerves st lung, that if you expect to Sue
cessfully compete with your more enter
prising neixhbors, there must be a more
thorough system RICHLY enforced to in
crease the productiveness of your farms.
Your situation imperatively demands
that you improve your stock by the in
PRODUCTION Of better blood. You must
cease scattering the corn in the mud or
the snow to stock sheltered in those
bleak days on the north side Of wire
fence. You must cease the practice
which makes you send your ten months
old hogs to market weighing $50 pounds
each when your neighb0rs' hogs of
the same age weigh 400 pounds. You
must understand your business better so
that you will know what your crops cost,
and what the food is worth which your
hogs and cattle have consumed. The
reason why you are behind your more
prosperous neighbors, is that you have
not yet walked up TO your duties or your
possibilities. You have not yet lived to
know your business. For quarter of q
century We have been with you in Iowa
farming-have watched your operations
--seen wherein you failed-know
whereof we write-and feel the full force
of our words when We cay, you must
wake up to a full realization of your Sit
uation, or drag out your life and that Of
your family in proverty and obscurity.
And all we regret is that we cannot
arouse you with our words as with q
forty.horse power galvanic battery

sanguine state Of mind, quite beyond
the bonds of reason. His memory is not
yet impaired. and the marked improve

prived OF the drug, gives his friends reason
to expect complete restoration in a short
time. Meanwhile, let this case be one of
many others to teach Us all that, excellent

which naturally arises in the mind of the
physician, on reading this, is whether qui.
nine has ever been reported as causing in
sanity. There arc at least two such cases
on record, 10th Of them in the Journal OF
Nervous and Mental Disease, July, 1881. In
