A Useful Dog.

Mr.. George Meade, of Kingston, Mass is
the owner of a remarkably fine shepherd
dog. Prince, as he is called, seems really
gifted with the power of comprehending hui
man speech, and his exploits are noted with
much interest by all who know him. When
asked how he il. he extends his paw and then
sslutes the inquirer by kissing him and lay
ing his head on his shoulder in a caressing
manner. He seems to take special pride in
a leather collar, which he does not always
wear. but which is sometimes hung on nail
in the fire place. When asked where his
collar is he marches to the nail on which it is
hung and carries it to some person, extend
ing his neck to have it put -. A short time
since his mistress, while in an upper room of
the house, expressed a wish tor button
fastener which was downstairs. Prince i'm.
medistely started in search of it.snd returned
with it without delay. He watches Zeslouslv
for the butchers cart. and taking his own pri-
vate basket from its nail, he walks out to the
road to ask for bones, which are usually
Forthcoming. Among his other accomplish
ments is that of wsltzing, when he makes
himself into circle by taking the end of his
tail in his mouth; but he has carried this
sport to such excess that he has badly worn the
hair from the end of his otherwise fine caudsl
appendage. He has numerous other tricks
which meke him the wonder of the neighbor.

Keeping Cows without Exercise.

Mr.. J. S. Woodward of Lockport. N.
Y. has learned from the past winters ex-
perience that mich cows need little or no
exercise during the cold weather of win
ter, provided their stables are tight enough
to keep them warm. He has MIXED Sc
cows the past winter, 80 of which have
been turned out into an open yard every
dav to drink, feed and exercise, the other
&c being kept in the stable constantly. He
finds that the cows kept in gave more and
better milk than the other lot, and that
they are far more regular in the quantity
of water taken. Cows turned out to
drink in very cod weather will often re-
turn to the stable without drinking at all,
and will consequently give much less milk.
Our own practice has been to water in the
stables in uncomfortable weather and to
turn out for exercise in sunny yard in
mild weather. But then our cows had no
horns and could be trusted to take an oc-
casional frolic in small yard. Horned
cattle that have been confined in stalls
two or three weeks are far less safe when
turned out in numbers, and to turn out
one or two only at time takes too long
for large herd, so our advice in such
cases would be to give mich COWS warm,
clean, roomy stable in winter and keep
them in most OF the time.-N. E. Farm

Sheep Pastures.

Some of the disappointments and fail
ures in keeping sheep are due to the pre-
vailing. but mistaken idea that sheep can
live and do well without good food
Turn them into waste field, and let
them eat the briars and thorns and
weeds" is the frequent advice of writers
who never kept sheep. One might as
we'll say that a countryman might do well
in city, by living off the garbage bar
rels and heaps in waste places. 1t is all
very well for farmer to turn few sheep
into a rough, neglected field, and let them
trim down the brars and weeds, if he will
then provide them with sufficient good
food. In this way the folding of sheep
upon an old field, may be turned to good
account. But Tor regular business. one
cannot hope to raise sheep in this way
A good pasture. roots for winter feeding
well-made clover hay. and good, careful
attention and management, are essential
to success. Sheep are fond of variety of
food-brers and weeds, and such things.
Confined to that diet they run down fast.
They thrive on substantial food.-Ameri-

Ok YOkeS.

There are three parts of an OK which
are more liable to be made sore by ordi-
nary work in the yoke. than any other,
viz the top of the neck, and the should
ers I'VE often see oxen with sores on these
parts. Sore shoulders are often caused by
the bow being too wide. Sometimes it is
caused by the bow being too square, or
too sharp on the outer edge the bow
should be perfectly round at the shoulder
joint. The drop of the staple, as gen
eral thing. should come down about half
way from the top of the neck to the
shoulder joint; the leader especially needs
a more crooked yoke. or longer staple
than when drawing on the rib Many of
our farmers seem to care but little about
the yokes their cattle work in; they put
them in too long, or too short yoke in
the winter time, and they crowd so, it is
hard getting along the road; and then the
Jokes are made by person who does not
understand his business and the yoke rolls
back on the neck. Some are too straight
and others too crooked so the oxen can't
travel. The fact is farmers are not par
ticular enough about the yokes and bows
their oxen work in.-Tribune and Farmer

increasing Lean Meat in Pigs.

We may well suppose that the habit Of
the pig IN laying on an excessive quantity
of fat, has been caused by long and ex.
cessive feeding of fat-producing food, and
it is not likely that anv sudden transforms
ton could be brought about; bat it is well
known that the pigs OF different countries
differ in respect to fat, says the National
Live Stock Journal. We have only to
contrast fattened pigs of this country with
those in Canada. There pork is fattened
partly upon barley, but largely upon peas,
a highly heterogeneous food, yielding large
proportion of muscle, and our pigs are
fattened almost wholly upon corn, an ex-
cessively starchy and fattening food.
The Canadian pork has much larger
proportion of lean meat and less lard.
The difference is very marked, SO much
so that in market supplied with beth
kinds, purchasers easily select the one or
the other as desired. Wild hogs do not
have such excess OF fat, ard the Southern
hog, which is grown much slower than
those in Northern and Western states, and
fed on much less corn, is comparatively
lean. There can, therefore, be little doubt
that the habit of depositing this excess
of fat is caused by long-continued feeding
adapted to that end. The hog is natural
ly a grass and root-eating animal, and so
in its domestication is fed almost wholly
upon concentrated food. Hogs fed upon
skinned milk have less proportion of
fat than those ted upon corn. II young
pigs are kept upon food that will grow
the muscles and bones and develope a
rangy frame. they will possess 80 much
muscle when half-grown that moderate
length of time in fattening, even on corn,
will not pile on an excessive amount OF
fat

Poyvderly and the Cardinal.


BALTIMORE, October, 30.-The Sun this
morning had the following: Grand Mas
ter Workman PoWderly, Of the knights OF
Labor, was in this city Thursday and cal
led on Cardinal Gibbons at his residence,
where the conference Of Prelates was held
to discuss questions affecting the welfare
of the Catholic church in the United States,
relation and duties of Catholics who are
knights of Labor. PoWderly had two in
tervieWs with the Cardinal, and laid be-
fore him the constitution and bylaws OF
the order. He also spoke of purposes of
the Knights, and how in his opinion they
were the organization not included IN the
rules of the church against secret So
cieties which promise blind obedience.
Utterances of Powderly were carefully
noted and presented to the church OF
Bishops. The Grand Master Workman
was wholly unexpected and unknown
among knights in this city, who did not
look for him before next week. 1t was
known that he would visit Cardinal Glib
bons in obedience to Instructions from the
convention of knights held at Richmond.
IT IS said that he went away from Baltl-
more assured that his organization would
not be inteffered with.

The Festive Indian.

The Indians at the agency of the Black
feet have heretofore been granted immu-
nifty for the crime Of stealing horses. Sto-
len horses would be brought to the agency,
taken away from the Indians by the agent,
after which they would be severely lectured
on the error of their ways and then al
lowed to depart III peace. This, iJ seems,
has been the humane(?) policy Of the past.
The new agent, Maj. Baldwin, will stand
no such nonsense and will assist at all
times in securing the arrest of Indian
thieves and turning them over to the prop
er authorities.
The necessity for troops in the vicinity
of the agency is daily becoming more ap-
parent, and even if Fort Shaw is not aban-
doned there should be troops placed at
Cut Bank or in that vicinity. Even a one
company post would have beneficial eff
feet. We have repeatedly set forth the
reason why something of this kind should
be done. In nearly all instances war par
ties from the north take this route; it
Df1ngs Inem close TO their frIenQs and rel
atives, the Piegans, where they are usu-
ally outfitted with provisions. After this
is gone they are in a country flied with
stock and Of course they subsist on good,
fat beef. It is most time that raiding was
stopped, and if the government cannot do
it other means will be tried.
Our stockmen will not submit to it much
longer. When the green grass comes next
spring and the sportive Indian goes on the
warpath, they will be met and followed by
sturdy, resolute men, and the Indians will
never more return TO their lodges and
there will be weeping and wailing in the
camps of the Bloods and Piegans.
