Plants for Alkaline Lands.

To the west Of us we have what used
TO be known as the Great American
desert" but now more Familiarity COM
pretended as our "semi-arid regions"
1t has been supposed that this land was
of no great value, having no plant food
and filed with the destroying alkali.
Recently, however, the government has
been making an analysis of these soils
and finds them rich with the chemicals
necessary for the growth of plants.
The next work will doubtless be to find
valuable plants that will be able to
stand the alkali and the drought. That
such a thing is possibls.is proven by
the vigorous growth on those lands Of
sage and cactus.

AXLE GREASE CHEESE.
Why Farmers Should Assist In the Sup
preston of Its Manufacture.

Why Farmers Should Assist In the Sup
preston of Its Manufacture.
Every effort to suppress the manu-
facture and sale Of filed cheese deserves
the heartiest support of all farmers.
The question is of more general i'm
portance than many farmers seem to
imagine, for the cheese and butter in
dustries are so closely allied that when
our export cheese trade is destroyed
the butter market cannot fail to be af-
fected.
The recent low prices commanded by
the best creamery butter has alarmed
many people, persuading them into the
belief that the creamery business is
overdone. If this be true-and it is not
possible now to say whether it is or not,
for markets are affected by many cir
cumstances-but II it be true, the
remedy lies close at hand. With the
suppression of filed cheese, America
can produce and sell ut advantageous
prices tons and tons of the real article.

One Of ChicGgO's Wonders.

Some surprising results were elected
the other day at an examination of
candidates for admission to the Joseph
Medill Summer School,. near Chicago.
Thirty-fve boys and girls applied.
They were asked TO answer these six
questions 1. Were you ever in the
woods 2. Did you ever see the
lake ? 3. Did you ever pick flower?
1. Were you ever in the park ? 5.
Did you ever ride in a wagon behind
horses -? 6. Did you ever ride in a
car on the railroad ?
On examining the answers it was
found that thirty out of thirty-fve
had never been in the woods, nineteen
had never seen Lake Michigan, eight
had never picked flower. During
the writing of the answers one little
girl was found to be crying bitterly.
On inquiry it was discovered that she
had been obliged to answer no to
nearly all the questions, and "was
afraid she wouldn't pass The Sec
retary of the bureau of charities said /:
"She had never seen Lake Michigan,
never picked a flower, never been in
the woods, but she understood per
fectly we'll what an examination was. "
The most surprising feature is that
the children all lived in Chicago, a
city which extends twenty miles along
the shores Of Lake Michigan and back
into the woods and Towering prairies
for distance ranging from six to six
teen miles.-Ne,U York Herald.

Afraid to Give Them the Chance.

My Man Kicked Me Out.

How to Train q Bird Dog.

Never be too familiar with young
dog. He must have a certain respect,
not necessarily a fear of you, but he
must learn to obey. Any intelligent
puppy will learn his name in few
lessons. Once you have given it to
him never change it. Mind you this
when he has once recognized you as
being his MASTER, his one idea is
to please you and to deserve a pat on
the head and a word of praise. Never
tussle with him with stick and never
deceive him under any pretences.
More dogs have been spoiled by their
master not playing fair with them
than one could reckon. Be honest
with your dog and he will be honest
with you.
If you have a gun, and your dog is
of that kind which has inherited the
scent for game, the first thing to teach
him is to fetch and carry-that is, to
retrieve-and this without chewing or
mutilatiug the object which he brings.
A way to break a dog of this is to
take an old glove, put a few tacks with
the points extending outward and fill
it full Of cotton. He will find that by
picking it up gently he can carry it
without discomfort, while if he at
tempts to worry it the consequences
are not agreeable. This lesson is
much better for him than any amount
of whipping, and he will remember it
much longer,
If you wish to shoot over your dog
the next thing is to make him find the
bird. To do this, the best way is to
procure a live quail, which can easily
be had from any bird fancier; put it
in small cage and show it to the pup,
warning him not to touch it. Then
conceal the cage in a copse of fern or
grass, and bring him carefully in that
direction. Never let him nearer than
within four or five feet of it; then
speak to him encouragingly. Under
the influence of your words he will
become all attentions, and a dog thus
properly broken will never "Aush a
covey'' unless he runs into them by
accident or when he is carried away
by excitement, under which circum-
stances he will show contrition.-
