Why the Dog Barked.

The following is another illustra-
ton of the familiar fact that a dog
often knows more than his master
but perhaps the whole truth is not
told. We have heard of a mans lying
abed because he had not the courage
to get up. An old farmer living near
Chambersburg, Penn, was telling a
member of the Sixth Michigan Cavalry
how he took the invasion of the State
by Lees army. Said he;
"We'd gone to bed, and / heard our
dog bark. Says / to the old woman,
says l, There's somebody moving
around, or that dog wouldn't bark
that way"
go to sleep, you old fool !" says the
old woman.
"Says I, Il won't do it' / tell we,
critter or somethin' or other has got
into the garden, or that dog wouldn't
keep up his barking"
"Wall, he barked and barked, and
finally went 10 sleep, and left him
barking. 1 'spected the brindled cow
would get in and eat all the cabbages
up, but l was sort o. mad at the old
woman, and didn't keer. / woke up
about six in the morning, and that
dog was barking yet"
"What at

The Potato Beetle.

Prof. Maynord advises: To destroy
the potato beetle and the blight and
rot, apply the Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green at intervals of about two
weeks. Should heavy rains follow
the application it must be repeated, as
is the case with the use of Paris green
and plaster or water.
Should none of the potato beetles or
their larvae appear, use only the Bor-
deaux mixture.

Worthy Of'Prasc.

Brainerd Journal: Too much praise
can hardly be given to our volunteer
fire department. The men who be-
long to this organization always
promptly respond to an alarm Of
fire when ever given, they frequently
risk their lives in their effort to save
the property and others. The great
risk which these men run in becoming
soaked through and through, is hard
~ appreciated by those who go to Il
fire simply for the purpose Of looking
on. 1t requires 40 small amount of
fortitude to- get up from warm bed
in the middle of the night, in order to
respond to an alarm of fire, and the
motive that hold these brave men to-
gether are worthy of our heartiest
commentator. Considering the
nature of the organization and the
valiant services which our
volunteer fire department has
rendered in the past, it bclioves
every citizen and tax-pay-
er, when ever an opportunity occurs,
to encourage the boys, that they
should one and all, gladly responod,
and consider that they are not doing
the boys composing the different
companies q favor but that it
is a favor conferred upon
them in bsing allowed to assist and
and encourage an Orga n1zatiOn which
has shown itself 50 worthy Of our
assistance and appreciation. The
services rendered by these men at our
recent fires, considering the nature OF
the appliances with which they have
work, is seldom excelled by the paid
organizations III large cities.
