A BRIGHT DOG.
knowledge Impaired and Reason Develop
ed in . Hungry Poodle.

Gu h EOOuhcs
II was in the habit of giving bones
to my poodle Mouston during dinner,
and he would 60 into the yard to gnaw
them. When the bone was too large
for him, would get up, ana 60 out
with him and split it before his eyes with
a hatchet. One day, Mouston. after
having gone out with his bone as usual,
came back bringing it in his mouth.
fixed himself in front of me and wag-
ged his tail. l ordered him back, but
he persisted in staying where he was.
Finally, thought of what he wanted
and arose, while the animal indulged in
leaps of satisfaction. The trouble was
that the bone was too large for him.
Now, when call to mind the express
sion of the dog when he showed me the
bone without getting an answer from
me, l could not help thinking that he
must at that moment have had very
poor opinion of my understanding"
1t is evident from this incident that
Mouston knew explicitly that the bone
would be easier to manage il it was split,
and that alone had means of splitting
it; and he had a clear and precise idea
in anticipation of what he expected from
me. Finally, he manifested his desire
to me by the only means within his
power. How much better could deaf
mute do than he didp
But it is one thing to think by re-
semblances and another thing to think
by symbols. A story was recently pub
lished by M. Dubuc of pointer which
had learned after few years that its
master went hunting every Sunday,
while on the other days he went to bus
mess, and M. Dubuc concluded that the
animal had learned to count up to seven.
This conclusion is not legitimate; it
may even be said to be wrong. Th
dog distinguished Sunday by some
features that were peculiar to it; by the
movements about the house, the be-
havior and Sunday dress of the servants,
the dress Of the master, or any one or
more of number of things that make
Sunday different from the other days o.
the week; but We may say without con-
tradiction that it did not count seven.
We ourselves, if we were restricted to a
life absolutely uniform, would not be
able to distinguish the seventh day with
out mnemotechnic aids, and as a rule
we seldom recollect the dag or the date
except by the assistance of intrinsic cir
umstances.-Popular Science Monthly.

Keep the mouth closed and breathe
through the nose. especially in cold
weather. There are two good reasons
for this. Air drawn through the nasal
passages is slightly warmed on its way;
II breathed more directly through the
mouth it reaches the lungs too cold. 1t
is also said, and it looks reasonable, that
the fine hairs lining the nostrils keep
out dust and disease germs which would
find free passage to the throat and lungs

WHAT DO YOU Do WITH YOUR
- "H ASHES. $50 s.aI a.

The great value of wood ashes as
a fertilizer is not appreciated by a
large majority of u farmers. AS
a rule they are thrown aside-de-
posted in some out-ofthe-way place
to leach and wash and waste through
out the year. Why not save them2
It can be done easily and profitablW.
Now that the regular work in/tHe
crops will soon be over for a season,
it will be a good time to arrange
for it. Go to the woods and fcut
nice, straight poles-enough to Huild
a pen six feet high, eight bY ten
feet square. Locate the pen at the
point most convenient to youJ fire
places. Haul trash and Vegetable
matter, and deposit it near tho pen.
Fill the pen about Is inches tobegin
with. On this put a layer oflashes
two inches thick. Alternate iii this
way, saving all the weeds and grass
which may be gathered around the
premises. Throw in all the rafuse
soap-suds. By giving only a half
hour per week to this matter Mou
will be pleased, if not surprised at
the number of wagon loads of finelY'
p~ulverized and valuable manure YOU
can make in one year. Let the ash
pen be a fixed institution on your
premises.

SAVINGS BANKS

There are but few savings hsnL..
the Southern States-none in N%lh
Carolina. In the Northern i'l
Western States there are manr ana u
deposits in them amounting N IN w me
aggregate to many millions Of d ine
lars. They are increasing everv v Io',
in number, and SO also are trl
amounts ofdeposits annually incra ms
ing. They are, when well condnctoSS-
of incalculable benefit, because tHo'
not only afford the means Of a s"f
deposit of the surplus earnings "l os
the wage earners and Others. hUt
they foster habits of economy a ~,
thrift. The ~deposit0r receives IN
terest on his deposits and the banI,
lends that money to the public, fl"
depositor and the public both beinn
thus benefited, thousands upon thoTs
sands Of dollars which would othar
wise be boarded by money-sayinn
people, rendering no service to anS S
one, thus being kept in ~circuIatioyD
W HlccG CnC TuOliidhuS Vi business
The New England people are rp.
markable for their thrift, enterprisO
and their full appreciation of thu
value of a dollar, and their prosperitv
is due in a great measure to thu
number Of savings banks they have
established and the good use thew
make of them. They keep their
money at home and keep it in circu.
lation, and with it start and keep in
operation the m%ultifarious small in.
dustries which have given employ.
ment to thousands Of people and
added millions to the wealth of that
section.
There is not a manufacturing town
in North Carolina which could not
and should not have one or more
savings banks, and not one of these
towns that would not be immensely
benefited thereby. In The Pro.
GREssIvE FARMER of June 9th We
polished a brief article on the amount
of money paid out by our tobacco
manufacturers alone to operatives in
the factories, which figures did not
embrace money paid to superintend-
ents, clerks, book-keepers, and othe-
ers not directly employed in work
ing tobacco. These figures footed
up $4,000 a week, or $378,OO for
the working season. How much
more is paid out to operatives in
other industrial establishments in
Winston and Salem, to mechanics,
laborers and others, we can't say,
but the amount is very large. At
present there is but little Of these
saved, most if not all of
it being spent as earned; but if there
were savings banks started where
the surplus that could be saved from
the weekly earnings might be de-
posted, many a dollar would be laid
away that is now foolishly spent. A
deposit of even one tenth of the gross
earnings would aggregate a very
large sum annually, which turned
into the channels of business enter
prise would add much to the pros
and growth of this town.
This is a subject well worthy Of
the attention<of our citizens who
have capital and property to start
such am institution, which would
prove not only remunerative to them
TOT great benefit to the public.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER; JUDYSe1, 1886

nawn certain conditions which the
dealer in fertilizers seeking to intro
duce his goods into this State must
comply with, but does not under
take to dictate to the farmer OF the
State as to where he shall buy the
fertilizers he uses, o from whom.
The Department of Agriculture
has no more right to say from whom
he shall or shall not buy than it has
to tell him how he shall thresh his
wheat, which machine he shall use,
or what he shall have for dinner.
When it does so it simply waltzes
outside of the prescribed circle, and
had better waltz in again. five are
not mistaken the DepartmentofAgri
culture moved a little too preclpl-
lately in a similar case in Gran
vile county not long ago, and went
SO far as to seize a carload of mate
rial for fertilizers, shipped from a
Northern city to some farmers in
Granville county. But these farm
ers knew what they we're doing, did
not propose to be sat down upon in
that summary fashion, and expressed
themselves in such vigorous, une-
quivocal English that the cal was
released, and further proceeding in
the confiscating line suspended. If
there was law for seizingthe property
ofthese Granville county farmers the
Department of Agriculture would
not have retraced it's steps with such
remarkable celebrity; but there was
as much law for that as there is for
telling the Vance county farmers
that they cannot buy ground bone
where they please, nor from whom
they please. The one was a case OF
arbitrary and unwarranted seizure,
the second a ease of arbitrary and
unwarranted interference. "@"Ht
It appears from the letter that the
opinion of the Attorney General was
obtained by the Department. With
all due Difference to his legal ability,
and with all due respect for the ar
ray of legal gentlemen to be found
in the Department, (among whom
is His Excellency the Governor, the
President of the University, the
Commissioner and the Secretary
if the facts, as alleged IN this letter,
be true, then we do not hesitate to
say that the Vance county Farmer"
has a clearer conception Of the law
than the whole Of them.
The farmers of North Carolina
have a perfect right to buy chemicals
or fertilizers from wh0msoever they
please, provided they buy them for their
o,cn use, and any action to prevent
it is not only totally unwarranted by
the fertilizer law, but is subversive
of their constitutional liberties. We
would do the Department no Unjust
ice, and for it's sake we would hope
that there is some mistake about this
matter, and ifso, we will gladly pub
lish the correction. But The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER will be faithful and
true to the rights and interests Of
the farmers of the State, as it under
stands them. .iat...t.
