There is a well known dog in barcelona.
says thePdH Nail Gazette. He loves mu-
sic, and goes regularly to the opera of his
own accord. sits up stairs, applauds with
the rest OF the auditors at the end if the
singing is good by joyous barks, but is
very angry at interruptions in the middle

ique, but is never content with second
best when he can have the best. This
is good story, though true, but here is
another as true, vet still better:
An Australian banker lately went to
Vienna on business. He arrived in the
evening, travelling with large, handsome
dog. The two put up at hotel, and the
next morning the gentleman went out,
bidding care to be taken that his dog did
not stray from the house. The chamber
maid went to make up the bankers room.
Bruno was very much pleased to see her,
wagged his huge TAIL licked her hand and
made friends thoroughly, until, the bust
ness being done, she was about to leave.
Not so. Bruno calmly stretched himself
full length before the door. He explained
as perfectly as possible that "he knew his
duty" No one should leave his MASTER
room in his absence. When the girl tried
to pull the door open sufficiently for her
to slip out he growled showed his teeth,
and finally tried them on her legs.
The woman's screams brought another
maid, and vet another, and then in success
sion all the walters. Bruno was glad to
let them all in, but he allowed no one to
| go out. The room became pretty well
! crowded, and every bell in the house.
meantime, rang, while the walls echoed
cries of waiter waiterm Finally, the
lady who kept the hotel appeared, and
! pushed her way irately into the room,
asking angrily, as she walked in, what
sort OF a panic they were all holding there.
Bruno let here IN, too, but not out again
oh, no! When the lady's husband ap-
peared she called him loudly, for heavens
| sake, 70 keep outside, to send messengers
| securing the city for the banker, and,
meantime, to endeavor to pacify the angry
customers downstairs
That Austrian banker was a welcome
man when he arrived.

The Best Beauty.

] know little fellow
Whose face is fair 10 see,
But still there's nothing pleasant
About that face TO me;
For he's rude and cross and selfish
If he can not have his way;
And he's always making trouble,
I've heard his mother say.
know a little fellow
Whose face is plain 10 see,
But that we never think Of
SO kind and brave is he.
He carries sunshine with him,
And everybody glad
To hear the CHEEKY whistle
OF the pleasant little lad.
You see it's not the features
That others judge us by;
But what We do I tell You
And that you can't deny.
The plainest face has beauty,
II it's owners kind and true;
And that's the kind Of beauty,
My boys and girls for you.

Items For Dairymen.

Abortion is driving many dairymen out of
the business, and it is the greatest obstacle
they have TO contend with. Scientists are I'M
decided as to the cause or remedy, but ascribe
some cases to excitement. IL Is admitted that
the disease (fOr such it seems to be) is con-
tagious. and that the strictest sanitary regula-
tions must be observed in order TO prevent its
spread.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Raymour, of Lake
Mills, Wis, that thirty-pOund ration OF silage
can be fed to a cow at the cost of only one cent,
and that it will increase the flow of milk. He
also says: sit looks as if carbohydrate ra-
ton, ifin a succulent condition, goes as far as
dry prOteine supply, and the ratio of cost in
favor of the suculent food is as to four"
The silo should be made strong, so as to re-
sist pressure Also alright, or as nearly so as
possible The ensilage should be put in dry
rather than in a moist condition, and the pres
sure on the ensilage should be sufficient to
closely pack the material in manner to ex-
clude the air. Many of fermentation
are due to insufficient pressure.
The vices of cows are often the result of bad
management. A heifer may be trained to be-
come a gentle COW or she may be refractory.
Milking is IA relief and pleasure to cows that
fill their udders quickly. and they will not
offer resistance to the mixer. but If the milk
ing is done in a rough manner, or the COW is
kept in a condition OF excitement, the work is
retarded. The proper milking of the COW is as
important as any other work in dairying.
The proper management OF the cream has
more influence on the quality of butter than
has the pasture. The cows in the Elgin butter
region have pastures inferior TO those provided
the animals in some other sections, while the
milk is separated from the cream and the
churning performed in the same manner as else
where, but the cream is carefully watched, and
the butter worked well. Nearly all of the COWS
in the Elgin region are Holsteins or Holstein
grades.

His Very Own.

Ouths companion
Little Tommy passes fora very practical
youth. The other day his Uncle John
brought him. as a birthday present, a
"word-game," which Tommy had never
plaved. and which did not seem to be par
ticularly attractive to him.
Nevertheless, Tommy thanked his uncle
and by-and-by. edging around his chair,
he asked
"Say, Uncle John ?"
"WeI."
"This game truly belongs to me now,
don't it?''
"Why, of course.
"To do Just what want to with it?"
Certainly"
Then I'll tell you what I'll do-Tllsell
it to you for 10 cents !"
