A Good Dog More Than Worth His
Keep.

Probably no dog has won so much ad-
miraton and favor as the Collie Shepherd
dog, and its beautiful carriage, intelligence
and affection is something TO be admired.
Much has been written about the shep-
herd dog, and there is still much more
to be said, We have books fun of ac-
counts of where they have sacrificed or
placed in jeopardy their own lives to pro-
tect and save the lives of their masters
They are very faithful among the faith
less.
Among all the many varieties Of that
family, IL is generally conceded that for
all general purposes with farmers, the
Collie Shepherd stand pre-eminently at
the head. farmer generally has more
need OF a shepherd dog than of any other
KIND not because he has these many
beautiful qualities, but that he can be
made useful He stays at home, makes n

From the Triton Gazette: Savannah has
been selected as the Southern port of en-
barkation for all troops going to Cuba or
Porto Rico, also as a location for the
general hospital. The competition was close
between Savannah and Charleston, but the
former showed the greatest transporta-
ton facilities. and clearly outbid its less

one of the most prominent citizens of the
eastern portion of Coweta county. The
young man was at his fathers gin, and in
some way came in contact with the gin

gin was stopped and had to be run back

Atlanta Constitution: J. w. Lee, a
white man, of Habersham county, was

licitor General Howard Thompson and O
number of reputable citizens of Haber-
sham county united in petition for his
pardon. Newly discovered evidence shows
that Lee was innocent of the crime of
which he was convicted. The indictment
charged him with assault with intent to
murder. His two brothers were implicat-
ed in the assault, and one of them, Bur
brother. George, escaped and has not been
captured. 1t appears that J. w Lee was
net present at the time of the shooting
and that he was convicted upon perjured
testimony. One of the witnesses who
swore against him has been indicted for
perjury, and will be prosecuted.

be put to service by driving the cows
and herding sheep. All these little points
mean much TO the farmer, and a good
collie dog is worth at least three boys in
caring for large fiocks of sheep or herds
of cattle.
Among the Highlands of Scotland and
England the Scotch collie has for ages
been valued for his usefulness in herdiug
sheep and cattle. For the past few years
he has been fast winning his way to popu-
lar favor in America. Owing to his grace
full appearance and superior intelligence
he is superseding all others as a pet, while
his business qualities and general useful
ness commend him to every farmer who
admires and needs a dog to get his cows,
catch his woodchucks, protect his home
and family. Being of a very sensitive ma
ture and disposition, strangers should never
be allowed TO take any liberties with him.
Firmly attached to his friends, tramps
and marauders should stand aloof.

"An Dangers Are Not Deaths.

An old man that we knew well had
life filled with alternating success and
failures. He made several fortunes and
in turn lost them. From wealth he was
reduced to poverty number of times. He
had his share of other troubles But he
died happy. AT S4 he was gathered to his
fathers as perfect and ripened ear Of
corn. If 1t had occurred to him to do so
he could have enjoyed the consciousne
that this long life was studded with many
helpful and generous deeds to those he
came In contact with This old man had
a maxim and Slogan He may have
had others, we know not To the unfor-
tunate and disheartened he mostly used the
one that is enforced upon our recollection,
to-wit:
Maxim.-All dangers are not deaths.
Slogan-Pick your flint and try it
again.
We commend both the maxim and the
slogan to our farmers who have sowed
again only to reap disappointment.

NIanuring Pastures.

Apply manure to pastures by spreading
il on the surface and it greatly stimulates
the growth of the grass. The casual OBJ
server may conclude that the extra graz
ing thus furnished is the sole gain. Such
a conclusion is great mistake, says
Thomas Shaw in the Ohio Farmer. Root
production in the grass is increased pro-
portionatelY with TOD production. Tbs

no seasons of the year when the farmers
have so much leisure for drawing it, and
they can then apply 1t in the fresh
form.
1t is greatly advantageous to be able
to apply manure in the fresh form, not
only because it is convenient, but because
II is also economical. II is economi cal
because the work can be done when labor
is cheapest 1t is economical because it
precludes the necessity for handling the
manure twice as when IL is composted In
the field or piled and turned in the yard
1t is economical since 1t precludes the
necessity of having manure sheds, and 1t
is economical because it prevents nearly
all waste of fertility.
1t may be objected that manure Will
waste by teaching when applied upon a
frozen surface and when the snow is on
the ground. The objection is not well
taken except when it is applied on hllly
surfaces or on land subject to overflow in
the spring. All experience on this ques-
ton points TO the conclusion that there
will be but little waste from teaching when
manure is thus applied The great growth
Of the grass the following season points TO
the direction which the teaching has taken.
To be able thus to apply manure is
great matter There is no loss from leach
ing In the yard. There is no waste of nj
trogen from decomposition unduly rapid
and excessive, and there is no waste from
fire fang.

means that there rs a great IN
crease in fertilizing matter In the
soil in the readily available from
of vegetable plant food.
The benefit from the manure
comes back in the form of a dupli-
cate or at least a two-fold harvest.
The first benefit is In the form of
increased grass production, and
the second benefit is in the form of
increased grain production. Should
the pasture be plowed up and sown
to grain? OF course, If the pasture
Is a permanent one the second
benefit will not be forthcoming
otherwise than in the form of in
creased productiveness in the
pasture for a longer term of
years.
Applying farm yard manure thus,
is certainly one of the most profit
able ways in which it can be apph-
ed, and for several reasons, it is, all
things considered, the most con-
venient way of applying it. 1t can
be drawn at any season of the
year that may be desired. The
time when 1t would be least adj
vantageous to apply such fertilizer
is the season when 1t cannot u.s.
ually be drawn, that is when the
grass is growing vigorously IN the
spring. The much labor that is
then on hand forbids the drawing
of manure. 1t may be applied
with great advantage in the late
autumn and during the winter,
when the surface of the land is
sufficiently frozen to sustain a

Right in Having.

Farmers are now right in the midst Of
the busiest season of the year, when, in
order to make hay while the sun shines"
the ordinary routine of every day life is
subject to violent changes and in some in
stances to decided curtailments.
No matter how poor the soil in ordinary
seasons there is no place in Vermont this
year which does not raise grass and taxes,
and double crop Of both. The click of
the moving machine mingles with the song
Of the early bird and sometimes even
arouses the feathered forager to sense
OF responsibility toward the uncaught
worm and the rising generation. for whom
he officiates as great moral object lesson,
the force of which would be somewhat lost
were he often found mapping.
Thrifty farmers have been known to sus-
pend family prayers during the rush that
the business of the day might be begun in
better season if not with better grace, but
usually an imperceptible shortening of the
petitions (to be made up on rainy morn
ing) answers every purpose.
One pious party, however, has hit upon
% more novel scheme for saving time and
one, too, calculated to prevent wandering
thoughts if not unseemly ways during the
period Of devotion. Now in hayiDg it is
his habit, while he prays fervently that
rain will be withheld and their souls COM
forted by seasonable and blessed change
OF weather, to open one eye as he nears
the close and calculate parenthetically,-
" I'm most through, boys, better get your
hats on-Amen."

New Responsibilities.

Senator Proctor spoke at a general
thanksgiving service held in Rutland Sum-
day and said IN part:
"We are in the midst of war, but there are
things worse than war. There are wrongs
WHICH cannot be righted in any way yet de-
visd o1oept by force. Tho American people
decided that the long continued tyranny of
Spain in Cuba must stop and the only way to
make this sure was that her flag must leave
that island, and this war is the result of that
decision.
"There were many in high places, many
men of intelligence and wealth and business
and political standing who asked almost in
the words of Cain, Am l my brother s
keeper?' And the people answered, not
hastily, but after hearing and considering the
you are, and more to the extent that we will
not longer stand idly by and see our brother
man robbed and stabbed and murdered if it
is in our power to prevent it.
"Dewey's guns in Manila opened up great
questions before, our nation. Territorial
aggrandizement was not in our thoughts.
But the events of that Sunday disclosed great
responsibilities upon us which we cannot
shirk. But l cannot doubt that the issue will
be met as becomes people free and enlight-
ened and wishing all people to share like
blessings. The destinies of more thanIl0 900 :
600 people will be in our hands. They are
strangers to US in blood and race; strangers
to our laws and customs and in large meas
ure to our civilization. 1t is not best for us

float on every sea and flash in the morning
sun of every cline. And all our people
North and South, East and West, born or
adopted, wherever they may be-will be

Gently captured off Santiago. Forty of the

der will reach there within week. just
how much liberty will be accorded them
has not been definitely settled but the dis
position of the authorities is TO treat them
with all possible leniency and to make their
stay in Annapolis as pleasant as possible.
1t is probable that all will be put on their
parole and allowed the fullest use of the
beautiful grounds for promenade and other
purposes. The buildings to be occupied
by them are known as Goldsborough Row
and are located in the southeastern sec
ton Of the academy. These quarters are
used by the cadets and bachelor officers
and professors when the academy is in ses-

would seem to be out of the way of most
people that pass that way. The occupants,
however, Of an omnibus plying between
Brighton and nottingham apparently did
not think so the other day, for the bus
stopped under the offending trees and the
occupants tore down some of the branches,
On being demonstrated with by Mr.. Kip

they had nothing to do with private prop
erty. The councils surveyor said there
was no public obstruction, and Mr.. Kip
ling is therefore left to his own remedy
