RUSSIAN SHEEP DOG.

ooA LILLE DO0s
or Russian sheep dog, has been substi-
tuted for the faithful collie. Wherever
he has been thus tried, the owtcher had
proved to be the sheep owners most
faithful friend and servant. We hope
he will be further experimental with, as
he promises to be a most valuable de-
pendence for stock r~aisers.
The American Cultivator gives this
information about the owtcher: ia
The old province of Ukraine, which is
now incorporated in the Russian gov
eminent district of Kiev, is an extreme
~ fertile country, but only sparsely pop
ulated. The greater portion Of this ter
ritory consists of vast, slightly undulated.
steppes which are watered by the Dnei-
per and its numerous tributaries. The
wealth of the inhabitants consists of
live stock, and particularly sheep, Of
which enormous f1ocks are kept. One
of the largest landowners is Mr.. FALL
Fein, and the number of sheep on his
runs is so large that he can only form
an estimate by the number of dogs
which are required to guard them, and
there are generally 5000 kept for that
purpose. On an average forty sheep are
apportioned to each dog; the total must,
therefore, reach the prodigious figure Of
1900, 900.
These sheep dogs have a long coat,
which very often gets matted. The
color generally is a kind Of gray, formed
by a mixture of black and dingy white
hair. The medium height is twenty
eight inches, and their tail is always
short, frequently carried very gayly,
and only sparsely coated. Sometimes
there exists only quite a documentary
trace of a tail. The breed is highly as
teemed in Russia, where it is known BY;
the name Of the Owtcher.

Boring Sea Trouble.

1t is announced in London that the
liberals in Parliament. will oppose Lord
Salisburys course in the Boring Sea
controversy as needlessly vexatious.- -
1t is believed in London that Lord
Salisbury, in his last note, agrees to
place an embargo on Canadian sealing
in the open sea, provided the United
States government agrees to pay com
pensation if the arbitration decision be
against the American claims. The re-
port that orders have been sent to
Admiral Hotham altering the move
ments of the Pacific squadron cannot
be confirmed in London, and it is as
serted that the programme stands now
as it was fixed January 27. The United
States Senate considered the Boring
sea arbitration treaty without action,
but it is expected the treaty will be
ratified this week without waiting for
England's consent to modus vivendi,
thus throwing the onus on the British
government.

Trimming Shade Trees.

Sugar and silver naples, locust and
kindred trees should have their top
branches shortened in after they have
been planted few years. Cut them
back about one-third, making the
form of the tree pyramidal. The inter
lacing and low growing side branches
should be cut off close up to the limb
or tree trunk with a knife or sharp
saw Shrubs of all kind need trimming
not too closely, but in much the same
way as the trees, so the tops may have
a rounded appearance.
Honeysuckles, both English, and
japanese, require to have many of
their long shoots removed and Others
spread out fan-shaped on the trellis or
porch. Shortened in, and the slender,
useless shoots removed, they will cover
twice the space and present a very
neat and attractive appearance. This
trimming must not be delayed, but
should be attended to while the sap is
dormant.

and they are so full of vivid, thrilling
realism that they are destined to be
long lived The dilettante prettiness

the music was resonant and will reach
posterity.
