Faithful Herder.

A dog in New Mexico, returning or e
evening with his sheep to the fold,
discovered that his master was still in
his shanty and kept very quiet, says
the Christian at Work. The next
evening it was the same. But after
penning up the sheep the dog smelled
about the door, scratched, barked, and
even howled, as he was getting very
hungry. But his master did not move.
The dog, rue to his appointed duty,
went out with the sheep on the third
day, but that night when he drove the
flock into their pen, the last one to at
tempt to get in became the victim of
the dogs appetite. This method of
providing for his own wants became a
part Of the faithful dog duty. Every
evening the last sheep to try to enter
the fold was seized by him and served
for supper and breakfast and dinner
the following day. The ranch to which
the dog belonged was in a solitary part
of the territory, and out of the track
of travel and visitation.
For two years from the time of the
masters death, as ascertained by data
left by the latter, the faithful dog at
tended the flock committed to his
charge and had fresh mutton for his
supper every night. The flock was
not decimated by his steady drain up.
on it's resources. On the contrary, ii
increased in numbers, and when, at the
end Of two years from the time of the
death of the proprietor, the ranch was
visited and the remains of the owner
were found, the dog was still at his
post Of duty, jealousy guarding his
flock and driving them to the best pas
lures every day and to the fold al
night, before which he slept to KEEP
the wild sheep eaters of the plains at :
| safe distance.

Pets Carry Disease

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sc, June 25.-Of
the many pets that are kept in the house,
we find the dog, cat and bird most ire
uuently. 1t may be of interest to those
Keeping and fondling animals, that these
apparently innocent creatures are only
too often the source Of decided danger to
the health of the owner. There are but
| few dogs entirely free from parasites.
| Those injecting The skin, excepting the
! parasite producing mango, are OF no
| great moment to the human, save a tenn
purary annoyance; while certain parasites
inhabiting the intestinal canal of mans
greatest pet, the dog, will live and do
we'll to the disadvantage of its new host,
man, if unfortunate enough to become
infected. The process is simple and q
great many instances are on record,
showing the correctness Of this only ap-
parent theory. The dog in licking the
| hand or as it is at times termed kissing
! the face Of its owner may deposit the eggs
of the parasite upon the licked parts, that
these now have a decided chance to enter
mans mouth and consequently stomach
and intestines, is easily seen.
Many q mysterious disease character
lied mainly by deranged liver functions
or intestinal trouble, and even premature
death, follows too close association with
the pet dog.
The same refers, to a certain extent, to
cats, although they are probably more
concerned in the spread of contagious
| diseases. Their proving nature brings
them in contact with all sorts of deadly
germs which adhere to their feet and
hair, as they travel from one refuse barrel
to the other. Imagine a cat after having
been out all night and coming in contact
with rubbish and sweepings, to return In
the morning to be taken up into the arms
of a child and a kiss imprinted upon its
fur inpregnated with dust, and possibly
germs of some dread disease as diptheria
or tuberculosis.
A highly interesting fact was brought
out some time ago when the Royal
veterinary college, of Berlin. Germany.
announced the fact that 10 per cent. oil
| all birds (parrots and canary birds,
brought there for treatment bad tuber-
| culosis. Whether these birds contracted
consumption originally from their owners
was not concIusively shown excepting
that all the families having these con-
sumptive birds had tuberculosis in the
family. That the disease can be trans
ferred from the human to the bird OF
vice versa, for instance while letting
"Birdie" eat sugar from the owners
mouth Is undeniable. The point, there
fore, in the safe keeping of animal pets is
less familiarity with these animals.

Will Wheat Turn to Chess?

It is the popular and widespread
belief among farmers and others that
the purest and best wheat may be
planted and that from such seed a
plant wholly different in all of its
essential characteristics may germinate
and grow. 1t may also be noted that
a similar belief in regard to barley also
exists in some portions of the country.
The plant which is supposed to be
thus mysteriously evolved from the
valuable bread grains mentioned is
called chess. The advocates of the
transmutation of either wheat or bar
ley into chess have been repeatedly
called upon to demonstrate the alleged
change, and rewards or premiums have
often been offered to anyone who would
prove that such changes actually take
place. The believers in the theory
that such changes may take place, say
that they are brought about by dir
ferent causes, the main one being the
sudden freezing or thawing of the
wheat while at the point of termination.
A Buffalo, N Y, man (BeDj. Hodge,,
once offered 500 to anyone who would
prove that such a change had taken
place. The reward was claimed by
one Saml Davidson of Monroe County,
New York. Davidson sifted fine earth
so as to be sure beyond a doubt that
there was no chess seed in it. He
then placed the dirt in q pan and
planted it with sound and perfect
grains of wheat. Next he subjected
it to the contingents of sudden frccz.
ing and thawing and to other hard
treatment such as is usually said to
make chess. When the plants threw
out their heads, there appeared chess
heads also. The lot was then examined
by a committee of the New York Ag-
ricultural Society and it was found
that stalks of chess were present where
the roots were found to proceed direct
from grains Of wheat which still re-
NAMED entire. By some of the COM
mittee this was looked upon as con-
elusive, but further Investigations
proved hat some of the chess roots
we're connected to three or four differ
ent wheat grains. That was the puz-
zle which the committee could not
solve and the whole experiment was
voted to be a failure.-S. Louis Re
