General Garfield's Dog.

In the summer of 1880, when the
first delegation of enthusiastic poll
ticians came trooping up from the
Mentor station through the lane that
led to "Lawnfield," in order to con-
graduate General James A. Garfield
on his nomination for the Presidency,
there was one member of the Car
field household who met the we'll
meaning but noisy strangers with an
air of establishment and disapproval,
and, as they neared the house, dis
puted further approach with menac-
ing voice.
This was "Veto," General Gar
fields big Newfoundland dog; and
not until his master had called to
him that it was call right, and that
he must be quiet, did he cease hostile
demonstrations.
After that, whenever delegations
came-and they were of daily occur
rence-Veto walked around among
the visitors, looking grave and some
times uneasy, but usually peaceful.
General Garfield was very fond Of
large, noble-looking dogs. Veto was
puppy when given to him, but IN
two years time had grown to be an
immense fellow, and devotedly at
tached to his master. He was named
in honor of President Hayes veto of
certain bill in the spring Of 1879.
The bill was one for abolishing
the office of marshal at elections. 1t
did not meet with the Presidents ap-
proyal, and he returned it to con-
gress unsigned-an action which
greatly pleased General Garfield,
and suggested the name for his dog
Although quiet, as he had been
hidden, Veto was never reconciled to
to the public's invasion of the Mentor
farm. He was dog of great dig
nity. and could not but feel resent
ment at the familiarity of the strang-
ers, who on the strength of their po-
litical prominence, overran his mas
ter's fields, spoiled the fruit-trees,
peered into the barns and poultry
yard, and were altogether over-cu-
rious and intrusive. He had been
told that it was call right but
these actions by day, and the torch
lights and hurrahing by night, wore
on his spirits and temper. This ev-
ident unfitness for public life caused
a final separation from his beloved
master; for when, in the following
spring. the family moved to Wash
ington to begin residence at the
White House, they thought it was
not best to take Veto with them, sc
he was left behind in Mentor.
Poor fellow all his doubts anC
fears for the safety and peace OF hin
he loved and guarded were indeed
we'll founded. The first invasion
of Lawnfeld was but the beginning
of what was to end in great calamlt,,
and bitter sorrow. Veto never say
his master again.-St. Nicholas.

Young Men Read This.

1t is very common for young men,
l think, to determine the quality Of
their work by the price which they
are paid for it. / only get, says
such a one, S. a week and am sure
that | am giving S. worth of service !;
if my employer wants more, let him
pay more; if he wants better let
him give better wages. This is
spacious reasoning, but it is false !;
and it is destructive to the best work,
and therefore to the best manhood.
No man can afford to do anything
less we'll than his best. He who al
ways strives to do his best work, in
the very process of striving must
grow better and better. Not only
will he grow more skillful in that
particular workmanship, but he will
be better equipped for other work
manship. This is an absolute uni
versal law. 1t is the absolutely uni
versal road to promotion.
The man who is careful to give
nothing more than he gets rarely gets
more than he gives. The man who
works for his own sake, who puts
the best part of himself into every
blow that he strikes, who mixes all
his work with brain and conscience,
who studies to render the largest
possible service regardless of the
compensation which it brings sooner
or later will find his way on and up.
The world learns his worth and calls
him to higher service. Nor is this
all. By stirring himself up to do
always the best he can, he grows in
to a power to do better and even bet
ter.

Supplementing Pastures

The best way of supplementing
the pastures in midsummer is to
supplement them in June. Take the
animals off the pasture for a few
days and feed them with grass and
clover cut along the fence rows and
on the unoccupied spots which exist
on nearly every farm. If this feed
is carefully utilized, the cattle may
be kept off the pastures three DAYS
in early June and three days toward
the close of the month. And this
will bring a gain of ten days graz
ing in July.
There is scarcely any feed better
for animals, especially growing stock,
than green oats, and it is certainly bet
ter to cut a few acres of the oats to
support the animals while the pas
lures are being given relief than to
reserve the oats for winter. If cut
while green, after the grain is formed
but while it is yet in the milky state,
the straw makes excellent feed
much better than after it is ripened,
threshed and saved as it commonly
is. The necessity for feeding oats
or green corn can be avoided easily
by sowing green fodder crops. For
this purpose we prefer sweet corn,
and second, ordinary field corn.
sowed on well-prepared land the
last of May or first of June can be
fed early in July. But it is better
to have enough to feed after the
ears have formed.
Rye is another good crop for sup
plementing the pastures. 1t may be
sown as late as the first of June. OF
course it is better to SOW it earlier,
and vet better to SOW it in the early
fall !; pasture it as opportunity offers
during the winter and in the spring
till quite late, then allow it to grow
till the grain is formed, and cut it
for green feed
Turnips may be sown on the
ground occupied by early potatoes.
Remove the potatoes as soon as they
have ripened, harrow the ground,
which is all the preparation it needs,
and SOW the seed after, not before a
rain. The turnips will not be ready
to use until late, yet they are avail
able at time usually of need, and
an acre of turnips furnishes large
amount of good feed. The same is
true of pumpkins. If planted early
on good ground, they will be ready
to use by the time the pastures have
dried out, and will be very agreeable
to every farm animal. They are
also, splendid medicine, especially
for swine. Being gently laxative,
they are just what is needed when
the change is made from green to
dry feed. Yet other crops may be
grown and other forage saved by 8
little forethought which otherwise
would be wasted. Almost every
day Of the summer it is possible tC
save some palatable feed for the
animals, which often wasted simply
because at the time the pasture il
abundant. But we must not wal
until the pasture fails. The more
we supplement it through the spring
and summer, the longer it will las
at the latter end of the season.
