AN INTELLIGENT DOG.

A Newfoundland Whose SagacIty Seemed

A good dog story Is always appre-
ciated, because canine sagacity seems
inexhaustiblc in its resources. A
Glasgow gentleman owned an in:clli-
gent Newfoundland dog. which accom-
panied his master wherever he went,
and was his inseparable companion in
his visits and TO church. One evening
the gentleman went to visit neighbor.
The dog attended him. 1t was quito
late when the gentleman started for
home, and, to his surprise, the dog could
not be found.
After the family had retired, there was
great noise in the kitchen. 1t was
supposed that burglars were robbing
the house. Soon there was q crash and
. smash like the breaking OF win
ing revealed the mystery. The dog had
fallen asleep under the table. lie had
realized that his master had gone home.
and the noise heard was the attempt Of
the dog to make his escape. As there
was no other way to get out, the saga
cious animal went through tho window,
taking glass and frame with him.
1t was long time before his
master visited that house again. When
he did his dog accompanied him, and
the ANNA found his way through tho
open door OF the kitchen to his old
hiding place under the table. When
the master was about to start for home
neither his hat nor cane could be found.
After long search the dog was discov-
cred fast asleep under the table; ono
paw was on his masters hat, the other
resting on his stick. How the dog OBJ
tanned possession Of these articles no
one could tell. He remembered his last
visit to the place and how scurvily he
had been treated. The sagacious Great
ure resolved not to be left behind next
time. He knew that his master could
not 60 home without his hat and stick,
and that he would be awakened when
his owner got ready to start His plans
were acutely laid, and, If he had been
human. he could not have done better.

THE FARMING WORLD.
HORSE BREEDING.


The Proper Ago for Mares-Treatment Of
Mother snd F0al.
II mare is large and has the appear
ance Of being matured, she may be bred
at two years; but the practice OF breed
ing at that age ~ not commended, as
the formation and growth Of the foal
takes what should go towards the de-
velopment of the mare. In addition,
not much will be gained by breeding at
that age, as 1t Is very rare that mare
that Is sucking q colt when three years OF
age will breed. 1t will do no harm to
work mares moderately either before or
after foaling. II after, they should be
well fed and rot be kept from the colt
to EXCEED four hours at any one time.
The best time, all things considered.
to have mare foa. is soon after she has
been turned out TO pasture. which in
this latitude is about juno 1. At this
time they get what exercise nature in
tended they should have, and the fresh
grass acts as laxative, SO that the risk
Of losing the colt Is reduced to the min
imum. The colt will thrive better and
do better than ii foaled early in the
spring. especially II the mare is ex-
pected to do her share of the ''spring
work. BY the way, it is very essential
that mare in foal should have plenty
Of exercise. 1t is not enough that she
has box-stall to run in, but it is much
better that she should be turned loose
in q yard during the day. In the fall
is a good time for mare to foal. as it is
not the busy part of the year. The colt
may be weaned in the spring, and the
mare will be ready for work; but-as is
too often the case-the colt should not
be allowed to go without his regular al
lowance Of oats, even when the pasture
is best, during the summer.
The class OF horses that farmers
should breed is the kind that is best
adapted to their own requirements.
Here in the East > horse that weighs
LOO pounds, with good action and
plenty Of endurance, is what most farm
ers want. The French coach horses are
becoming deservedly popular with those
who go in for improvement. When
crossed with our native Mares they pro-
duced a class Of horses adapted to any
and all kinds Of farm work, and are des-
tined to supply the hitherto unsupplied
demand for fine, housekeeping carriage
horses, as we'll as for many other places
where strong, active horses are wanted.
They have been bred up to their present
high standard under the direct super
vision Of the French Government, and
no horse can have certificate Of regis
try unless sired by stallion owned by
the Government. Trotting-bred mares
will cross we'll with these horses The
colts will have more size and will not
not be wanting in speed. Country
