sagacIty Of Shepherd Dogs.

A gentleman who has had consider
able to do with shepherds and drovers
in England AID Scotland, speaking OF
the story published in the OreQoniau a
day or two since about a dog separating
the ewes ani wethers OF a flock by
noticing the earmarks, says there is no
doubt but what it is true. He has
known dogs TO go into a drove of sheep
which were marked with several differ
ent marks and single out every one
bearing his masters mark. He says
the shepherds train their dogs by taking
them along when puppies under their
care as they mark the sheep, and the dog
Is thus taught to distinguish marks.
He says further that at the market in
Islington drivers have their sheep
marked with red or blue paint, and
droyes get mixed dog will go into the
band and bring out all his masters
sheep, telling them by the color of the
marking. Shepherd dogs are the most
intelligent species of the canine family,
and when they are brought up among
herds OF sheep and tsrined to take
charge OF them, II is but reasonable tC
suppose that they might learn to notice
marks Of any kind on them.

He Never Struck His Children.

the other day, Though have often
been tempted strongly to 1t, aid some
times would not have blamed any par
ent for doing so. But was thrsshe1
so much by my own father, a good
enough man, too, that always stood in
fear of him, seldom told him the truth
if could help it, and never confded in
him. Often 1 was whipped for errors I
had committed with good intentions,
and 1 remember the wild spirit OF
hatred that used to come over me at
such times, when, smarting under the
blows / felt did not deserve, would
get away by myself and swear silent
but bitter oaths tha. would have open
ed the old gentleman's ewes to his folly,
perhaps, if he cogId have heard them
from so young child. So I made q
VOW that wauld never beat my own
children. And now 1 feel sure that
they do not stand in physical fear of M. /.
1 am pretty certain they tell me the
truth, and know they confide in me
as q friend. And though they do not
obey me nearly as implicitly as I did my
father, and make themselves much
more OF a nuisance to me than was to
him. yet they don't regard me as a
bully, and that is something"

The First Wooden Clock.

About the year 1900, there lived
sort of iDdolent, thriftless. uDpromisipg
young man by the name of Eli Terry.
His birthplace was the same as mine,
Plymouth, CT. BE sought the hand

ly opposed by her friends on account of
his Inability to support her. Miss War
ner was either sister or a cousin OF
The late Mrs. Friend Ives, an old re ST.
dent of Gun Plains, and grandmother
of Leon ard Fred Chichester. The
Warmers were solid old Puritan stock
and despissd laziness. but, not with>
standing all opposition, they were mar.
ried set Hp housekeeping, and soon
destitution and want was about all that
seemed visible for future days.
Eli had no visible means of support,
but spent his time sitting on a stump or
block, whiting out a circle he struck
with an old compass or saving off bits
OF wood from some dead trees, and thus
day after day his time was spent, and
the general impression was that ne was
home that the wife, by urgent entreaty
of her friends, had about made up her
mind TO return to her parents' home,
when the fruits of Eil's whiting and
saving mateTialized in the first wooden
clock made in America, and, believe,
in anY country. 1t was readily sold to
a neighbor for $50 and paid for in pork,
flour, potatoes, other family necessities,
and little money, with which be
bought tools to facilitate his work in
further prose cution of clock making.
Another and another was made that
sold readily as 5000 as completed, Tie
| foot lathe and small circular saws were
added, then men were employed, clocks
more readily made and eagerly sought
after, and Eli Terry began to accumu-
| late. In the meantime he had made
| application for letters patent upon his
clock, and about 1902 OF 1903 built a
small shop and commenced improving
| on his clock and construction of ma
chinery and tools and the foundation
for vast fortune was made which ma
teralized in after years. NotwIthstand-
ing his unbounded benevOieDce. he be-
came very rich. He died about 1845
at the advanced age of So years. beloved
and respected by all who knew him
leaving large family of grown,up boys
and number of grandsons, all very
wealthy, and all living at Tarryville
CT. controlling nearly all the wealth O

is worthy of note that not one of tn
Terrys is left in that region and all shei
interests and investments have scat

Burning OF Manure.

Tie dry rot of manure, commonlv
called "fre fangling," is a slow com

This chemical operation is simply or
dation or the union Of the oxygen OF m.
atmosphere with the carbon and hydro
gen Of the organic matter, the celluloss
starch, gum and fatty matters contain
ed in the manure and the Hitter, Tb,,
chem ical union is the very same as thu,
which would result if the straw we,,
burned in a pile, and the heat eYoIysa
by the change is precisely tie sane IN
both cases, only in the first 1t ig more en-.

rapidly evolved than in the slower con,
bustion of the manure pile. The apsI
result in both cases is the production NJ
carbon dioxi6e (carbonic scid) by the
union OF carbon and oxygen and water
or steam (vapoTl by the union Of the
hydrogen of the substances mentionsd
which forms water. So that the over.
heating of the manure consumes first
the carbon and hydrogen, which are Of
no value as plant food, then the nitro
gen is changed to aTonia by combins-
tion with evolved hydrogen, and this
product escapes as gas with the vapor
and is lost, and, lastly, the ash or min
eral matter is lett with a black sub,
stance which is carbon, or, really, char.
coal. So that in the emo all that is left
of the manure are the small quantities
of mineral matter of the manure, lime.

pheric acid, and sulpher chiefly, and
some carbon. And the most valuable
part, the nitrogen, is lost If this com,

Hence care is to be taken to'svoid this
overheating by either spreading the
manure where it is to be used or turn
