A Magnanimous Dog.

A big Newfoundland was going
peaceably along when a cross-grained
cur began swapping at him and snarl-
ing savagely. This started one or
two other dogs, who joined in the at.
tack.
The big dog took no notice until
compelled 10 do so in self-defense.
Then he turned and sent the crowd
Of prosecutors flying in all directions;
all except the ring-leader, who fell
sprawling in the middle OF the street.
and was beginning 10 get the drub-
bing he deserved, when things took a
very unexpected turn. A cable car
came dashing along down the hill,
with Changing bell, right upon the
dogs Nobody is expected 10 warn dogs
OF danger, and so the car was almost
upon them when a policeman. who
noticed the encounter, cried, Get
OUT" The big dog saw the danger
at once aud sprang aside, but his late
assailant was on his back and too
much in dread Of punishment TO see
anything else. There he lay and in
second more would be crushed.
The Newfoundland saw the situation
and after he had partly turned away
sprang back in front OF the car, seized
the cur in his teeth and snatched
him, whining and begging for mercy,
out OF the very jaws OF death. lie
laid him in the gutter, and then,
as though further retaliation had en-
tirely escaped his mind, he gave a
good natured wag or two OF his tail
and started on up the street. uncon.
scious that for less heroic deeds than
this men wear medals OF honor. He
was only dog, but he taught a lesson
TO all who stood by. N. y. World.

The Teeth of Horses.

A horses teeth need rs much at.
tention as any other part OF his body.
The recognition OF this fact is OF n
very recent date, but all now ad-
NIT the truth. At from two to three
years Of age colt begins to change
his teeth, and at the age OF five years
he is provided with his fall set A
horse has forty teeth and mare
thirty-six. The difference Is In the
canine, or as they are sometimes
called, bride teeth, which seldom
appear In mare "A horses molars
are the organs OF mastication and
have harder work To perform than
tho incsors The result Is that they
get worn down SO that the animal
cannot eat When horse gets thin
and refuses his food IL Is good plan
To have his mouth examined TO see II
this IL not the case with him. Fill
ing the teeth which have worn down
will give immediate relief and the
animal will soon pick mp again. Ul-
cerated teeth are quite common
among horses The breath has a bad
smell, and perhaps There IL IA swell
ing OF the cheek and tongue These
symptoms should lead To an immcdi-
ate examination OF the mouth. The
treatment of such cases Is as neces-
sary To the well-being OF the animal
as IL is for a human being. Many
young horses have been reduced TO a
skeleton and died from the ignorance
OF their owners as To the cause OF the
malady. The teeth OF a horse can be
filed so that IL Is not necessary To re.
move the offending tooth. In the
case OF the back teeth this is very
troublesome task Amalgam and
bone are the substances generally
used for filling. Wolf teeth arc use
less and should be extracted II they
become worn by the bit. The idea
that they affect the sight OF the horse,
long ridiculed, has become an ac-
knowledged fact. The explanation
Is that the nerves OF the wolf teeth
are connected with the facial nerves,
and pressure on the former reacts on
the latter so as TO impair the eye.

soil Is by thorough cultivation. This
is necessary In order TO obtain the
best results Opinions differ very
widely In regard TO deep and shallow
plowing. At the Purdue, Indiana
Experiment Station, experiments
have been made on corn plats plow-
ing four TO twelve inches deep The
first year there was no perceptible
difference but the second year there
was great gain from deep plowing
and subsoiling. The effects OF deep
plowing and subsoiing are not always
apparent the first year but where IL
has been practiced the crop OF wheat
the second year has been double that
OF n field shallow plowed, with the
same amount OF manure applied TO
each. Subsoiling loosens up more OF
the earth and furnishes more plant
food and moisture than shallow plow-
ing. In clay lands IL is desirable To
change the conditions In order to
keep IL from baking during very dry
weather. Air-slaked lime is one OF
the best substances which can be used
for this purpose. The amount TO ap-
ply varies, ranging from three 70
twelve tons per acre according TO the
stiffness Of the clay Application can
be made at intervals OF seven To ten
years ii. A. Huston. Indiana State
Chemist advises farmers with heavy
clay lands TO experiment with small
field In this way, being careful that
the lime is left In small piles long
enough TO become we'll air-slaked and
then have IL distributed and well
mixed with the soil. Using lime In
this way makes the land easy TO pull
verize and changes il from n hard
compact mass TO one easily broken
into particles which the plant roots
can penetrate. Salt Is also used
sometimes in the same way and has
the same effect on the soil but Is not
always beneficial, hence lime is more
highly recommended. -Oranve Judd

Improyement Of the Soil.

There are various ways in which
land may be greatly improved and
the careful farmer who wishes 70
make a success in his business will
always be on the alert for new
methods Of culture and will also fol-
low those which he has found from
actual trial TO be good. Good drain
age is essential for land on which
cereal crops are 10 be raised. a
farmer may easily obtain information
regarding the drainage OF a piece Of
land by digging holes four or five feet
deep in July and August and noting
where the water stands In these. On
corn land this water level should he
forty-two inches below the surface.
Another method OF improving the
