FREIGHT DIVISION CHANGE.
General Superintendent Nixon of the
Gulf Line Makes One.

Galveston, Tex, June 25.-Mr. ". G.
Nixon, general superintendent of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, today
stated that the Santa Fe would on July
l begin using Bellville as the first
freight division terminal north of Gal
weston transferring from Sealy. A new
train schedule is being prepared to COW
er the change.
Bellville is nearly an equal distance
from Galveston and Temple, being 10S
miles from the former and III mileA
from the latter Sealy is but ninety
five miles from Galveston and in using
that as the division point the runs were
not evenly distributed. The south
bound grades between Bellville and Sea-
~ have been reduced, which will en-
able the company to run heavy trains
from Belville to Galveston. The ter
minals at Bellville are not yet finished
but have progressed sufficiently to ad
nit of the change mentioned.

their rare intelligence and faithfulness.
Il remember one pup in particular
He was only six months old when he
was sent out one day to work on the
range. AT night, when the herd was
brought up to the corrals. we saw at
once that a part of the herd was miss
ing. There were LOCO head in the
bunch when they went out in the
morning, but when we put them
through the chute we found that 200
were missing. The pup was also miss
ing. Well, all hands turned out for the
search. We hunted all that night and
all of the next day and did not find the
lost sheep until along toward night.
But they were all herded in a little
draw, about five miles from home, anu
there was the faithful dog standing
guard. The wolves were very plentiful
In those days and the dog had actually
hidden the sheep from the animals in
the draw. The poor fellow was nearly
famished, as he had been for thirty-six
hours without food or water. From
that day he became a hero, but was so
badly affected by hunger, exposure and
thirst, subsequent overlooking and pet
ting that he died not long afterward.

supper, for he was more than usually
hungry. But he missed the dog, which
usually followed him to the cabin OF
an evening to have her supper. The
herder thought it rather strange. but
made no search for the dog that night.
But next morning he found the gate
open and the faithful dog standing
guard over the fiocks. This herder, III
his haste the night before, had forgot,
ten to close the gate, and the dog, more
faithful than her master, had remained
at her post all night, though suffering
from hunger and thirst.

was left to watch flock Of sheep near
the herder's cabin while the herder got
his supper. After he had eaten his
supper he went out to where the sheep
were and told the dog to put the sheep
in the corral. This she refused to do,
and, although she had had no supper,
she started off over the prairie as fast
as she could go. The herder put the
sheep In the corral and went to bed.
About midnight he was awakened by
the barking of dog down by the cor
rails. He got up, dressed himself, and
found the dog with a band Of about
fifty sheep, which had strayed off dur
ing the previous day without the herd

be corraled, and she did it"-Denver

Wire Fences.

The extraordinary demand for iron
and steel products, and consequent
high prices, is making wire fences cost
much more than few years ago, but
we are not sure but they are even now
the cheapest fences one can build, con-
sidering durability as well as first cost.
Many use secondhand gas pipe for
posts, and we think there Is nothing
better il they can be bought direct
from companies who take them up be-
cause of pinhole leaks that make them
unfit for conveying gas, but In no way
injure them for use as posts. They
can be found in almost all sizes, from
the inch pipe, large enough for the
wire netting for poultry yards, up to
a size that will carry a heavy wire for
cattle fence, and IL painted occasional
ly are neat and durable. They would
help to remove danger sometimes
feared from wire fences. the conduc-
ton of lightning. The first iron post
would be very likely to ground the cur

Charcoal.

One of the little things which are not
absolutely essential, but which the
keeper of a flock of hens will be well
paid for preparing, is charcoal. The
hens will not consume a great quantity
of it, but they seem to need a certain
amount of 1t, and the good effects Of it
are admitted by all.
Charcoal Is not usually kept for sale
In the villages, and the majority of
poultry keepers are put TO the necessity
of sending away for it or of manufac-
turing 1t. An article which will fully
answer the purpose can be made from
corpcobs, and this is the material
which generally is made use OF In the
West.
Rake lot of cobs In a loose heap
where they will burn freely. Let them
burn until they are charred through,
but before they are reduced to ashes
smother the fame with oats. Use no
water for putting out the blaze. The
half burned oats will not be wasted,
as the hens will eat it with as much
relish as that which has not been
touched by the fire. Crush the charcoal
and constantly keep up small box or
it in the poultry house.-Farmer's

Saving Rough Fodd>

A few years ago not many FARMERS
in the corn-g growing States thought vi
saving their corn slower, though per-
haps they turned cattle in among IL, 10
eat little and tramp 1t down. Where
small grain was grown, the straw was
thought to have very little food value,
though some kept their stock hali
starved on it, Eastern farmers, VINO
were thought to be very saving, seldom
fed out bean straw or pea straw. NOW
all these are saved, and while they
need more grain with them than does
clover or other good hay, 1t Is thought
economy to feed any or all OF these.
and by adding grain, keep the animals
in better condition at less cost than
when hay is fed, and at the same time
add to the value Of the manure made
on the farm. Many varieties Of weeds
also make good rough forage If mown
down and cured before they have
ripened their seeds, and to do so helps
to keep the land clean, and preserve
the fertility in it for more useful crops.
