Dogs in Harness.

Parliament set about remedying the
lot of horses, asses. and mules. but it
prohibited the employment of dogs al
together. Why? l suppose because
dogs appeal more nearly to our sympa-
thies than any other animal. and an
overloaded or ill-fed dog stirs more
surely the commiseratiOn of the pass
er-by than the mute endurance of a
cab-horse; nevertheless. the act was
probably a mistake. Mark the behav-
ior of dogs in Germany where they are
still employed to draw carts. They go
at their work with a will, and, being
naturally social and cooperative ami
mails. seem to enjoy the sense Of being
helpful.
/ am never tired OF watching these
Industrious. willing servants in the
streets of Brussels or Berlin, and al
though they are sometimes overloaded,
(Which is a proper subject for legisla-
tiOn,) have never happened to see one
otherwise maltreated, nor one whose
behavior showed dread of or indiffer-
ence to his employer In fact, it does
not pay to ill-use a dog in harness.
Strike him, and he will not suffer mute
ly and redOuble his efforts like the less
intelligent horse, but will lie down and
yelp or creep under his cart When
not in motion he can lie down in the
shafts and rest himself or sit up and
scratch.
The right, therefore, which Parlia-
ment has conferred on thousands of
British dogs is oneto statutory idleness,
very dubious boon. as many a fat,
overfed collie could testify, which
would be far happier working for its
living than lounging as a superhuous

SKUNK FARMING.
An Agricultural Omcinl Says There
are Millions In Ii.


There's money in a skunk farm"
said an official of the Agricultural De-
partment "and skunk farming will
some day be a great industry in this
country. There's a barrel of money In
the business, and yet the man who sug-
gested II was regarded as out Of his
head. It does not take q prolonged and
expensive investigation to demonstrate
the truth of what 1 assert.
while there are no official statistics
on record, 1t is known that slSunks-the
American skunk-will begin breeding
at one year old. They breed twice each
year, and have ltters OF from five to
thirteen, an average OF eight to lit
ter. 1t is said that skunks can live on
as little as any known animal, so there
is little expense In raising them. They
are of a different disposition to the
coon squirrel and many other small
animals, in that they cannot be tanned,
and l do not suppose that many people
would care to have one as a pet
"Now, it has been figured out that a
man who understands skunk farming
can begin on twenty skunks-fifteen fe-
males and five males-and in a very
few years will have large and healthy
bank account IL is easy to calculate
how rapidly these twenty skunks will
Increase in number. If you begin op-
erations on the farm in the early fall
the skunks will breed in December
Right from the jump, estimating the
increase at the rate of eight to the lit
ter, you have an increase of 120
skunks. Well, in June they breed
again and at the same ratio of increase
at the expiration of one and One-half
years you will have 1896 skunks. In
four years, without mishap, your
skunks will have increased to 3,7S0,000
This is a good big drove of skunks,
and if the pelts are worth 81 each, the
pelts of 200 male skunk would bring in
lopen market 5000, and the oil at so
cents an ounce would be worth $780,
Then figuring as we did on the increase
lof skunks, at the expiration of one and
IOne-half years, you could kill 300 male
skunks the pelts of which would be
worth just as many dollars as skunks
Killed. The amount of oil gathered
from this number of skunks would
amount to 29,600 ounces, worth just

THE BALLAD OF PLATTsBURG
BOY

BUY.
Commodore Thomas Macdonough
was born in New Castle county, on De-
cember %, 1888, and died on sea while
returning from a Mediterranean cruise,
November l6, 1926 The battle to which
the ballad refers was fought on Lake
Champlain, at Plattsburg, on Septem-
ber II, 1914 AT the end of this battle
the commander of the British squadron
surrendered TO then Commander Mac
donough.
II was Thomas Macdonough, as gallant
a sailor
AS ever went scurrying over the
main,
And he cried from his deck III they
think I'm a quailer,
And deem they can capture this Lake
of Champlain,
Wen show them they're not fighting
France, sir or Spain!"
SO from Cumberland Head to the little
Crab Island
He scattered his squadron I'm trim
battle line;
And when he saw Downie come round
ing the highland.
He knelt him, beseeching for guild
ance divine,
lmploring that Heaven would crown
his design.
Then thundered the Eagle her lusty de-
fiance;
The stout Saratoga aroused with a
roar;
Soon gunboat and galley in hearty al
lance
Their resonant yolley Of compli-
ments pour;
And ever Macdonoughs the man tc
the forei
And 10. when the fight toward IFS
flercest was swlrling,
A game-cock, released by o splinter
ing ball.
Flew high i'm the ratlines, the smoke
round him curling,
And over the din gave his trumpet
ing call,
An omen Of ultimate triumph to all
Then a valianter light touched IN,
powder-grimed faces
Then faster the shot seemed {,
plunge from the gun;
And we shattered their yards and w,
sundercd their braces,
And the fume of our cannon--ii
shrouded the sun:
Cried Macdonough-"Once more, anC
the battle Is won"
Now the flag OF the naughty Confanc,
is trailing.
The Linnet In woe staggers in to.
ward the shore.
The Finch is a wreck from her keel tC
her railing;
The galleys fee fast to the strain o
the oar.
Macdonough lis he Is the man tC
the fore
Oh our main decks were grim and oul
gun decks were CORY.
And many a brave brow was paln,
with pain.
And while some won to DEATH yet We
all won to glory
Who fought with Macdonough tha
day on Champlain
And humbled her pride who is queer
