The Dog ON the Farm.

A farmer once told the Listener that
there was nothing in the world that
would keep crows out Of field Of young
corn except living man or good sized
boy with gum. He had tried all man
ner Of scarecrows that ever were in
vented, and hung strings about in all
sorts Of ways, and the wise birds came
in and pulled up the corn just the same
There was once time, when people first
thought about it, when white string
around a field would keep out crows
they thought it was trap. But it took
the whole tribe only year or two to
see through this device.
A dead crow hung up by the feet viii
scare away some crows-no doubt fe-
males, Of superstitious turn Of mind
but it won't keep of the canny old
agnostics among them. A farmer whom
the Listener knows once had shepherd
dog who, at the command "Go down
and keep the crows out Of the cornfeld, !"
would take charge Of the field and keep
away every bird Of them effectually.
Dogs. especially collies, might be trained
easily to perform this duty. though oc-
casionally, no doubt. the crows would
divide their forces and give the dog
more work than he could do. Few Of
our farmers, by the way, realize the
amount Of help in their work that they
can get out Of agood dog. Boston Tran

Their Live. saved by a Jaekass.

A special from Montgomery, the new
mining camp in the extreme south
western part of Nevada, says: About a
month ago Bob Montgomery, brother of
the finder of the mines here, with Mr..
Sherwood and Mr.. Metcalf, left here
with six jacks on prospecting trip in
the foothills around Death valley. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but they
agree the famous valley is well named.
In making the trip from Furnace
creek to Cottonwood hot wind came
up, in which it was next to impossible
for them to get breath. The animals be-
gan to give out, and they were compelled
to abandon their packs and start on
hunt for water. What little they had
left they mixed with vinegar and oat-
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture so hot
that it would actually burn them when
they wet their swollen tongues with it.
None had ever been over the ground
before, and it was only due to the intelli-
gence OF Montgomery's pet jack, Sullivan,
that they were saved from suffering, If
not death. Dragging along up the val
ley they were passing the mouth Of q
canyon when suddenly old Sullivan gave
q tremendous bray.
Metcalf said, "That's water, boys"
and started up the canyon. Sure enough,
he gave q yell of Joy. Water was found.

Car Horse. Branded on the Hoof.

Car Horses Branded on the H0Ok
A young man who has just written q
successful play was leaning on his cane
in company with an actor-an English
watching the passing show
on the Broadway side Of the Morton
House when, after silence Of several
minutes, the playwright said:
do you see anything peculiar about
the Broadway car horses2"
"Nay, nayl Would'st try to guy mer
said the actor.
Look at their hoofs and tell me il
they are not branded"
The actor sized the animals up, and
reporter, who was standing near enough
to hear the conversation, did the same,
and discovered the number 800 on the
forward left foot Of one of the horses.
The figures were about half an inch long
and had evidently been just burned into
the hoof
Superintendent Newell Of the Broad
way line, who was seen at his Office in
the barns at Fiftieth street and Seventh
avenue later in the day. said in relation
to the reporters question concerning the
branding Of the hoofs of the horses:
Yes, we have been doing this for some
time now. The idea occurred to me sew
eral years ago. and we find it very salts

"what was your object in branding

Simply SO keep track Of what each
horse was doing. We keep tho accounts
Of each horse now the same as We do Of
any man in our employ. It benefits us
in a thousand ways We know just how
many days q horse works, how many
days it has been sick and, in short,
everything it does. 1t enables us to
keep such minute knowledge Of their
work that we know just what condition
they are in, and if they are not all right
we keep them in the barn"

Points About watermelons.

b.
The finest watermelons in the world
are to be found in Galveston, and are
served in first-class restaurants and
special cafes in place Of ice cream. There
it is the regular thing for young men to
take their girls out for watermelon. The
fruit is never sliced, but served in halves,
no matter how large the melon or how
small the eaters Each Of the halves are
served on platter, and the only eating
utensil is q silver dessert spoon.
Salt, sugar and nutmeg are provided
for the convenience Of those who use
seasoning. The same usage prevails in
first-class restaurants in Georgia and
other melon centers. Outside of these,
the go-as-y -you-please style predominates.
The leaders of fashion, or the quality,
usually fix the local styles. -Pittsburg

The sensational performance at In

3-year-old, by Sidney, and was bred by
Count Valensin, at Pleasanton. The
time is not given for the three heats, but
the California youngster is credited with
trotting the three fastest heats ever
made in race by stallion. He also
reduced his record to Eli, aud if if my
