Answered the Advertisement.

Several days ago a Bordentown dog
fancier advertised the loss of a yellow
female Skye terrier. That same daythe
owner of the lost terrier was amazed to
see his hunting dog push open the gate
leading into his residence, carrying the
pet terrier in his mouth. The dog pur-
sued his way to the back porch, where
he scratched the door until admitted by
his master. When in the house he let
go his prize and barked vociferously,
which probably vas a plea for the re-
ward which had been offered. Where,
when, or how the hunting-dog found his
lost companion remains a mystery to his
master, who vouches forthe above story.
The dog is not known to have read the
advertisement. although he may have
seen tn. Y. Sun.

SULPHUR FOR o

A Farmers Experience in the Use of This
Drug.
Sulphur is a good tonic, and although
my horses and cattle are well fed and
kept in fine condition, I give each one
a heaping tablespoonful of sulphur once
a week as long as kept in a stable IN
dry food. When in pasture they don't
need it. If this is done Wednesday
evening, then I give the same quantity
of pure wood ashes in their meal mess
every Saturday evening. l also give
the same to my poultry. Atablespoon-
full is we'll mixed in a gallon of water,
and the meal then stirred up evenly in
it. This operates as a preventive Of lice.
When wanted to kill lice on cattle a
heaping tablespoonful is we'll mixed
with about four quarts of bran, shorts,
corn or any other meal.
1t may be fed every day provided it
does. not scour the cattle, and if so. then
not so often. The effect OF the sulphur
must be watched. If the lice and their
nits are abundant, as the sulphur acts
slowly. it will be better to take crude
petroleum, dip a horse-brush in it, and
then brush the hair very lightly till the
oil touches the skin. If no crude petro-
leum is at hand, then take kerosene and
| mix it half and half with melted lard
| and brush that in. The lard is necss-
sary to reduce the strength of the kero-
sene, for if applied pure it would be
too strong for the cattle. Some mix
sulphur with lard to apply for lice. but
this is apt to make little sores on the skin,
especially in cold weather. If cattle are
kept in good flesh, lice rarely attack
them; if they get on calves they retard
their growth badly and otherwise iniure

A SONS OF SPRING.


The sun that through the winter days
Was staying where the orange grows
Returns again with genial rays,
That disslpate slow, struggling snows.
I strolled among the meadows, where
The green its first appearance makes;
Rejoicing, that, without a care,
The dainty violet awakes.
The glow of sunshine; balmy air;
The blue sky brightly arching DER;
All make me think ere we're aware
The Spring will gladden. us once more.
Up street 1 saw, through many a tear.

Its dreaded visits will renew.
L more than saw; the beast so free
Had brought a man without a fear,
Who tortured all that cOuld not fee;
And can l doubt that Spring is here2
I fastened further on to where
The crow a circle made aroun
A mangled body lying there,
Dis1gured DER with wound on wound.
Amazed, 1 could not understand
Why no one pitied, till 1 spied
The long fair hair, pale face n hand
That grasped a roll with ribbon tied.
More eloquent than words it taught
The story of where he had been;
How he. with Verse of Welcome, sought
The editor and found him in.
Up by the shattered window stood
The editor who smiled, while some
His deed approved as best they could;
And now I'm sure that Spring has come.
