A Homesick Horse.-A day or two
ago a gentleman told of his having
pensioned an old work horse that for
years had done good service. He put
him out on nice pasture for the re-
mainder Of his days. The horse cleared
the fence and came home. Three times
the experiment was repeated till they
became convinced the horse was too
homesick to stand it. When they hitch
ed him to his old wagon his manifesto

Few people who have not given the
matter special attention have an idea
of the extent to which grain, fruit and
live stock are liable to injury by in
sects. According to Prof. Panton of
the Ontario Agricultural college there
are nearly 100 species that prey on
grain and forage crops, upwards of
forty attack vegetables, no less than so
menace the grape, and as threaten that
king of fruits, the apple. The pine has
1876 species of enemies, the oak 500, the
elm 80. the hickory ITO, the maple GA,
the beech $50. while the unfortunate
willow battles against 400 insect foes.

Time of Maturity.-The relative pro-
fit in early and late maturing animals
Ia more evident in beef growing than in
any other line of stock husbandry. In
growing animals for dairy purposes or
for breeding some regard must be paid
to the development of the animal sys-
tenn along the line to which it is to be
applied, but in the case of beef the
main requisite is to secure growth and
fat with the most economical use of
feed. and If the same can be accom-
plished in one year, that has previously
required two years, the cost of the feed
consumed is about the only considera-
ton to be given attention.-Ex.

that Mrs. Nugent has all she can do
attending to the demands of her canine
customers for coats, cloaks, collars and
cuffs of the latest cut and design.
Dealers in dog furnishings in this
country, says the New York Journal,
are already preparing for winter orders
for dog SUITS" in anticipation Of the
demand which is sure to come AZ
Duane street tailor, who makes spe7
cialty of dog clothing, said, speaking of
the matter:
"The old style of dog blanket did not
protect the chest or legs of the dog, and
in consequence did not half accomplish
its purpose. The new dog clothing
covers not only the body of the dog, but
his chest and legs, two portions of his
anatomy which are particularly susceB-
tible to the cold. The new dog coats
are sometimes buttoned and sometimes
laced down the back or front as the par
ticular taste of the owner may dictate.
with this way of dressing dogs there
is no limit to the freaks of fancy 5ndi-
vidual owners may take, and some out
fits for petadogs are striking, to SAY the
least. There are waterproof STORM
coats, lightweight coats and heavy
coats for the coolest weather.. WI can
and do make anything which OF pa
irons order in this line"
With the various styles and com lima
tiops of dress prevalent in New Yt to
choose from, one may expect b1fore
snow flies to see the dog-faneying 1nan-
about-town strolling down Fiath sv Snue
followed by his pet bulldog array I'd in
a pink shirt front, white collar \ and
cuffs, and proper cut" diagonal rock,
the whole covered by a regulation covert
coat. The fact that the fad has found
favor in England is quite sufficient to
popularize it here, and London dog
tailor's" sign oh Fifth avenue nj ed, in
the near future, occasion no SURPRISE.
The accompanying illustration of one
of these pampered pets of th9 canine
world shows to what limits this very
modern fad has been brought. There is
no telling whether doggy likes ttor not,
but that doesn't matter-the bnly OBJ
ject is to produce an effect. {4

. DOCS IN FULL DRESS.
an English Fad Soon to Be Adopted
by American Cranks.
The Latest London Fashion Dictates That
Canine Raiment Must BE Stylish
and "Proper''-How the Pets
Are Dressed.

No really high-toned dog should be
seen after six o'clock in anything except
evening dress.
Dress suits for dogs are the latest
things for which all swell tailors are re-
ceiving big prices.
The pet dog of the upper ten now has
as much care bestowed upon his toilet
and wearing apparel as has his master
or mistress.
The fad started with Mrs, NJ. Nugent,
of No. 120 Bond street, London, who,
being of the opinion that dogs, partic-
ularly the thin-skined ones, were not
sufficiently clad by nature in winter, de-
cided that dogs deserved real sure
enough clothing more than good many
men did. So she clothed every dog in
her kennel in the latest and most ex-
pensive "togs."
Society readily adopted the new fash
ion, and as result dogs of high degree
may be seen any day strolling up and
down the fashionable thoroughfares of
London town, arrayed in as fine linen
and as correctly tailor-made clothes as
their owners.
1t may sound strange to speak of a
dog in collar and cuffs, and wearing a
frock coat and vest, but the sight is not
an unusual one in London parks, and
dealers in New York say that American
dogs will be doing the self-same thing
before the close of the summer.
The dogs toilet club is familiar to
every one, but bull terrier or collie ar
rayed in stiff, standing collar, i'm
maculate shirt front and spotless cuffs
around each leg is sight decidedly
unique.
Dog owners in "Lunnon" go even
further than that, and Lady Banking
toms pet mastiff carries on a very fash
ionable correspondence with Lord Bro
moseltzer's bloodhound, the owners, OF
course, writing the tender epistles in
the names of their respective pets.
Quite naturally, having arrived at the
dignity of coat, collars and cuffs, the
dogs must have garden parties and teas
and they go to these purely social func-
tons arrayed in clothing of the very
latest cut and style, attended by theil
owners. who vie with each other in the
elaborateness of their pets wearing ap
parel.
So popular has this odd conceit be
come among the English lovers of dogs

that they forget their health. The health
cannot be trifled with. The body resents
neglect Little disorders become big ones
if they are allowed to run on. The man
whose digestion is poor, pretty soon finds
that he is losing flesh. He doesn'tweigh as
much as he did. He doesn't realize that he
is losing vitality; that he is losing strength;
that he is losing capacity for work; and that
even his brain must of necessity become
weaker, If il is not nourished. Loss of flesh
means that the whole body is going to wreck.

keeps going faster and faster as he goes
down. When health begins to leak out, It
leaks very fast. The time to stop il is right
