The Popular Fox Terrier.

All terriers are good. They are as
Ehrewd, game, loyal small chaps as ever
stood upon canine feet or gazed at their
owner with soulful, loving eyes, and of
them all l prefer the fox terrier, either
wire haired or smooth coated. These
aristocratic, diminutive gentlemen I'M
questionably are today the most popular
dogs in the wide, wide world, and there
are many excellent reasons why this
should be SO. From the palace to the
cottage these dogs have proved their
sterling qualities to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and they are especially
we'll suited to the conditions which
govern in crowded centers.
When the big st. Bernard, mastiff,
Dane.or other heavy breed is painting in
the contracted back yard, bowling on
chain, pining for exercise and freedom,
the terrier is merely having fun, busy
ing himself about the house, warming
off doubtful intruders and generally at
tending to everything which appears to
require supervision. Clever, alert and
stout hearted, he never relaxes his
guard, and he fears nothing. His clever
ness as rule is a safeguard against his
making mistakes regarding the desir
ability of visiting strangers. He seems
instinctively to recognize persons who
are not wanted about the premises, and
woe to them if their mission be evil
and their desire stealthy invasion. He
protests promptly and vigorously, and
he will not cease until some one of his
household has appeared and taken
charge of the matter. Ed W. Sandys

The Cloyers and Beams.

The clovers and beans are 'fixers'' of
nitrogen and are Indispensable as soil
ing crops and as green manure, and
both the grass crop and the clover crop
draw less heavily upon the fertilizers in
the soil than do the more strongly feed
ing grains and root crop, and while
they are taking less from the soil they
are adding much organic matter to it..
A farmer can add any year an amount
of available inorganic phosphoric acid
and potash and nitrogen necessary to
make his crop, but if the store of humus
is not kept up the fertility will not in
crease from year to year, as it ought

The Lion of Keos.

There are lions and lions, but the

Professor J. Irving Mannatt in The At

a great and definite event, but he has
been broken to pieces. Better luck has
attened the lion of Keos. Couched here
on his flank in the living rock, with re-
verted head, 2S feet from tip to tail,
every feature perfect, full of life and
majesty, one can hardly think of him as
mere image made with hands. He
looks rather as if in some prehistoric
age-the colossus of his kind-he might
have lain down here alive and turned
to stone, possibly after clearing the
island of its first occupants, for there is
myth handed down to us by an old
writer that Keos was originally inhabit-
ed by the nymphs until they were scared
away by lion and fed to Karystos,
leaving to the jumping off place" the
name of Lion point. At all events the
monument and the myth make perfect
fit. Our lion is the very beast to strike
terror into nymphs or any other unwel-
come neighbors.
