JE. Walter, the master of train services
Of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, has
dog he values highly. The dog is New
foundland, and has been raised by his
owner from small puppy. Mr.. Walter
has little girl who is fond Of the animal,
and the affection between the two is inter-
esting. A few mornings since the little
girl was left in the room alone by large
fire in the CRATE. She went too near the
blaze and the dog opened the door AMI en-
tered. He went to her and began to pun
her away by catching her clothing in his
teeth The two companions played about
the room for some time, until the little
girl grew tired and sleepy She went too
near the fire again, and the dog could not
get her away. He pulled at her clothes
for some time, but could not arouse
her. He then hurried to her mothers room
and began to act strangely by rubbing
against her hand and catching her dress,
milling her toward the door. She caressed
him and told him to go away and find little
Nellie. He made strange whining noise
with his mouth, and then slowly walked
back to where the little one was sleeping.
The fire was growing hotter and the little
one was sleeping, unconscious of her grea,
danger. The dog made another attempt
to arouse her and failed. He then croucheo
down beside her, between her and the fire
taking care to protect her well. Mrs
Walter entered the room a few minutes
later and found the noble dog in this posi-
ton whining and crying, while the han
was being singed from his back. Llttis

A GOOD PREVENTIVE.
HOg-ChOlera Medicine Which Is to Be
Taken with Sanitation.

A Missouri correspondent mentions
man whose herd always escapes hog
cholera; he has never lost an animal,
although at intervals during twenty
years the disease has repeatedly devas-
tated other droves of swine in the inn
mediate neighborhood:
"lt will not do to say that he has
been merely skipped, or has been
lucky; his experience is too uniform.
His sanitary regulations are such as to
promote health at all times. This mans
experience is that of many who pursue
the same course, and use the same pre-
ventives-it is the old receipt-ashes,
salt, copperas, sulphur Now, this is
Prof. j. b. Turner's preventive, il
black anthony be added, and he says
of this receipt: If used before the hog
is attacked it will positively prevent
the disease, and given freely in the
early stages it is curative
"Omitting the anthony, keep thi.
preventive before my hogs at all times,
in sheltered place, winter and sum.
mer. 1t is astonishing to one not used
to it how much hogs will consume. An
old sow, just purchased, getting this
for the first time, ate nearly wooden
bucketful, and l drove her off for fear
she would kill herself. 1t did not hurt
her. Little pigs consume as much as
hogs in proportion. Fattening hogs
almost invariably go to the medicine
trough after eating and drinking. Have
often seen hogs off their feed eating
at the medicine, and they are well in a
day or SO.
'One man not far from me had
hogs dying all around him on adj
joining farms; he got the preventive
and used it; lost his seven hogs-all he
had-and pronounced the preventive a
humbug. visited his lot the day after
the last one died. In a rail-pen, about
fifteen feet square, without any cover
ing, lay seven dead hogs that would
weigh one hundred and seventy-five to
two hundred. pounds each. They lay
on their sides and were considerably
more than half concealed by the mud
and slush in which they fattened and
died. Strange they died, isn't itp An
iron hog would have taken swine-
plague under the same circumstances.

DEHORNlNG CATTLE.
A Proposition Which Settles Question o
Some Importance.

A Proposition Which Settles a Question Of
Some Importance.
The courts and public opinion have
lately had brought prominently for
ward the brutal practice of dehorning
aged cattle. Why not settle the whole
question, when it may be necessary,
by dehorning the young calf? The
budding horn may be quickly scared
down with hot iron, or the entire
bud may be clipped. In the very young
calf this appendage is merely the mat
rix of the future horn. At the age of
ten or fifteen days this matrix is a
small, hairless, movable prominence.
The matrix, together with small
band of true hairy skin, one-eighth of
an inch wide, can be removed by one
sweep of a strong sharp pocket-knife,
and forever after the animal will be
hornless. The calf being firmly held,
let the operator grasp the matrix be-
tween the thumb and two fingers of
the left hand, place the edge of sharp
knife one-eighth of an inch outside of
the naked matrix, and with firm,
steady pressure, cut through to the oppo-
site side, the knife passing between the
base of the matrix and the skull, so
that rim of hairy skin one-eighth of
an inch wide. remains attached to the
base of the matrix now amputated and
held in the left hand. In like manner
remove the other matrix. This simple
operation causes very little pain. the
loss of about one ounce of blood, and
soreness for only a day or two. The
calf is not injured or stunted, does not
lose its appetite, and the wounds heal
quickly.
1t is nonsense to talk that part so
highly sensitive as the tissue of the
horn is even measurably insensible to
pain, and where sawed off by dull
saw, although not rusty. the grating
through the sensitive tissue occupying
a considerable time is simply brutal,
and none but brutal man viii prac.
tice it, simply that he may crowd his
animals closer together in feeding.
Dehorning aged cattle should not b
allowed except in the case of viciou,
animals.-Rsrgl Neg Yorker.

The Labors of the Busy Bee.

The bee has long been type Of the
industrious worker, but there are few
people who know how much labor the
sweet hoard of the hive represents.
Each head of clover contains about six
ty distinct flower tubes, each of which
contains portion of sugar not exceed
ing the five hundredth part of a grain.
Some patient aparian enthusiast, who
has watched their movements, con-
cludes that the proboscis of the bee
must therefore be inserted into 500
clover tubes before one grain of sugar
can be obtained. There are 1000
grains in pound, and as honey con-
tains three-fourths of its weight of dry
sugar, each pound of honey represents
$500, 600 clover tubes sucked BY bees.
