Ysroeious wild Dogs.

The general belief Of the Wild dog
tribes Of India IL borne out by two stories
told by Colonel Baldwin Of their attack
ing the bear and the tiger which put tho
fact beyond doubt. A bear was found
by an English officer standing at bay be-
fore the dogs. He had killed one. but
his hide and body were torn In strips by
the bites Of the pack. In the other the
fresh bones Of Q tiger were found from
which the flesh had been eaten. Onepaw
still remained whole, and close by lay
the freshly killed bodies Of three wild
dogs which had fallen In the fight.
Remembering not only the strength
and activity Of the tiger but tho aston
ishing pluck with which, even when
wounded, IL win constantly charge .
line Of elephants and endeavor to scale
the howdah-which is, In fact, o fort
with an armed garrison-it 10 difficult to
overestimate the courage Of the wild
dogs In meeting and destroying such an
antagonist. We think II extremely pro-
bable that future observations Of the
courage Of the wild dog may justify o
statement once made. perhaps without
sufficient evidence. that they have an
inherent hostility to larger feline, and
arc necessarily on the watch to destroy
their whelps, so that the species are the
instrument by which nature keeps down
the supcrabundant felinw Of the wilder.

our FATHERS AND OURSELVES.

A correspondent Of the New England
Farmer writes as follows: We often
hear farmers say farming doesn't pay ne
Il did In our fathers day, we cannot
raise AZ much a. then aud taken as q
whole farming In New England has
seen Its best days. The reason that
farming II failure to u certain extent
Is the lack Of system, the Lack OF enter
prise, the lack Of mental activity, the
lack Of all that pertains to success. The
farmer Of New England depends too
much on the labor Of the western farm
er. lie neglects to plant, ss did his
father who lived In the days when the
western farm WAS oveffun by savages
and Wild animals. lie Ia given too
much to speculatlng concerning the
future. He plants little, thst is, he
pretends to ; he puts In the seed and lets
nature do the rest. II the crop falls the
fault Il In nature. the tiller OF the soil Is
never TO blame. lie never considers the
fact that nature will exhaust Itself u
not properly fed. Our once fertile fields
have been cultivated since the seven
teenth century without due regard to
their fertility. Year after year crops
have been grown on the woruout fields
and not sufficient plant food put In to
supply the drain upon natures stores.
n New England farmers wish to sue
ceed they must turn over q new leaf.
Never depend on some one to help you
out. Never plant more than you can
manure and manure well. Don't be
afrsld to use fertilizers OF q high grade.
Feed your crop a. you feed your animals
and never forget that weeds Will ex'
haust the stores. Of nature a. fast as tho
crop.
