The Doc Nuisance.

1t is, perhaps, rather unfortunate that,
whenever friends of the woOl-grOwing in
terest venture to urge that measures
should be adopted for protecting the sheep
interest from ravages of dogs, they should
be promptly and energetically accused of
wishing to bring about the extinction of
the dog kind. Some extremists have done
much to create a belief that all who wish
to restrain the dogs are anxious to see this
done most effectually by killing all dogs;
but the truth is that some at least, if not
most, who urge that suitable laws shOuld
be passed and enforced for preventing loss
of life and property through canine play
fulness or viciOusness are themselves adj
mirers AID friends of good dogs. These
people would be very unwilling to see all
dogs exterminated, but they do want to
see the scrub cur, which nobody can own
without shame, prevented from inflicting
further injury to mankind. All who adj
mire and appreciate well-bred dogs should
join in the work of Kidding the world OF
these mOngrel scrubs, worthless and full
Of mischief as they are.-Li0e Stock Jour

SAVED BY A FRIEND.
Gen. Logan's Troubles as a Church
Member.

Oens IORdn'S as "A Nhufch
Member.
"YOu have heard how Logan Joined our
church by telegraph when he was a can
didate for the Senate the first time, haven't
yOu?" said a prominent Methodist to the
New York san correspondent in the cor
ridOr of the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago,
the other day. "But very few people know
that be came very near being expelled
from the church few years ago for swear
ing. Both General and Mrs. Logan are
members of Trinity Church, you know,
and Crafts was the pastor then. He it
was who went to Brooklyn and turned
Presbyterian. | understand he is preach
ing to congregation of that denOmina-
ton in New York now. One of Crafts
class leaders was, and still is, a leading
salesman in Keiths store, and about 1879
he prepared charges accusing Logan of
the habitual use Of prOfane language and
other conduct unbecoming a Christian.
The charges were presented to Crafts, and
he was going to lay them before the
church, when Arthur Edwards found it
out. Edwards, you know, is editor of the
Western Christian AdUOCute, and one of
the shrewdest men in Chicago. 1t was on
the eve of political campaign, and Ed
wards, who is considerable of a pOlIti-
Cidns saw InaJ IL would not only 1nJure
Logan but damage the Republican party,
and bring the church into disgrace for al
lowing the sanctuary to be polluted with
political SquaDbles. Crafts was dead set
to present the charges, for he had long
known of LOgan's profanity, but Edwards
got hold of the documents under a pre-
tence of correcting some informalities in
them, and made it convenient to be out of
town the day the meeting was held. So
the charges were not presented, and be-
fore the next meeting Edwards had
smOothed matters over so that the case
was never tried"

Meat for Fowls.

1t is acknowledged by all who breed
poultry that meat is not only necessary,
but essential. especially if the flock is
confined. The difficulty is how to pro-
cure a supply. The scraps from the table
are sufficient for a small number, but
amount to nothing for large flocks. The
ordinary pressed meat from bone-bOiling
establishments has served an excellent
purpose, but too much labor is required
to chop it, especially in winter, when it
becomes frozen. There are ground meats
prepared for fowls, but farmers are ayerse
to buying articles put up in such cOndi-
ton, for fear of adulteration. If near
market-hOuse, the refuse portion of slaugh-
tered animals may be used, but when this
is imperative the farmer can make no
substitute in the shape of meat, but he
can make a substitute in the shape of
butter-milk, oatmeal, Iinseed-meal and
other materials rich in nitrogen. The
best of all substitutes is milk, whether in
the full or skinned, and it may be placed
where the fowls can drink it, or it may be
mixed with their soft food. About one
ounce Of meat three times week is sufii-
cient for one hen, or about two pounds
weekly for flock of ten.

years. The West to-day leads the world
in this interest, importing from European
countries all the different breeds of horses.
cattle, sheep and hogs that will give us
the most rapid improvement of the highest
type OF their kind. Increased enterprise
is shown by the cost of live stock import
ed into the United States. In 1881 the
value was $3,675.5S1, and in 1882 S., 0OO, 600.
We have the feed and facilities for stock
breeding and the best blood is eagerly
sought for, and the higher the price the
greater the profit. There is some little
over-enthusiasm IN fancy prices for fancy
animals, but in the more useful stock very
uniform prices prevail and the increasing
demand is still beyond the supply Vest

Black Hills country is famous for its great
cattle ranges and hundreds and thousands
of cattle are now annnally hrted on its
everlasting ranges. Everybody does not
know that about thirty miles west of
Spearfish, just over the wyoming. line,
some seventy odd of the leading people
of that country have recently located
claims in a section where there are every
indication Of an unlimited supply of
petroleum. The Capt,in informed us
that machinery had already been shipped
to the Hills and as soon as the snow dis
appeared they would commence boring
and exploring thoroughly. In this oil
locality is q spring from which oil Is
forced up by gas. and which has been
accumulated by gentleman for some years
and sold at the mines for lubricating pur-
poses. In the south part OF the hills are
salt springs that will be developed in due
time. In other words there will be a
