with top disproportioncd in size to the

A like trait has often enabled man to

A rctl-nosed man was making his way up
Alabama street, Atlanta, Tuesday, heading
for barroom, with thin, yellow dog,
afrectionately following after him.
Look at that dog" said Baililf Mig Simp-
son. "Thats n smart dog"
"Whyy' was the natural question, there
being nothing in the dogs appearance to in-
dicatc rs much.
Just watch now. That dog follows that
fellow into stores and houses upstairs and
down. through all sorts Of weather, just like
he's following him now. IL that fellow ever
gets drunk and falls Oft the bridge, the dog
will fall off too. II the fellow ever gets run
over by a train, the dog will too. But he
won't 20 into that barroom. He knows n
barroom rs we'll as do, and you can't force
him into one He'll stay outside and wait,
and you can nearly always locate that fellow
by standing at the corner of Alabama and
Pryor and looking both ways till you soc
that dog in front Of a barroom, waiting.
Now watch him."
The red-nosed man went on into the bar
room. The dog looked up sorrowfully at the
windows, just as il he were reading the
upon his haunches at the edge q eTg Side
walk. He gazed at the door in gloomy.
mournful expectancy, never once taking his
eyes away. He waited for fully ten minutes
and then when the man came out the dog
resumed his place following at his heels.-

SOWING GRASS SEED IN THE SPRING.

One of the principal advantages in
seeding grass in the spring is that the
danger of winter killing is largely
avoided. While grass plants will stand
considerable freezing after they get well
established, they are easily killed when
young and tender. Grass seed if OF good
quality will remain in the soil for some
time without starting to grow when the
conditions OF termination are unfavor-
able, and later on, under more favorable
condi:ions they will start up and make q

under all conditions is impossible. In
some localitics fall seeding proves the
best, and in others spring seeding has
been found to be the best Again even
in the same locality II difference in the
season will make considerable difference
in the germination of the seed and the
growth of the plants. If the seed is
sown in the fall the work should be done
sufficiently early to allow the plants an
opportunity to get well established be-
fore cold weather sets in, and if this from
weather or othcy conditions
cannot be done tac better pIn is to dc,

So far as possible spring feeding should
be done carly, for while occasionally late
sowing makes Il good stand, taking one
year with another, the safest plan is to
make all the preparations possible ahead
