al Livestock association arrived last
evening from Helena, Nont,, where he
has been in attendance on the annual
meeting Of the Pacific Northwest Wool
Growers association. Mr.. Martin Is In
good spirits over the success OF the ac-
ton Of the association In passing reso-
lutions in support Of the fight in con
gress against the attempts there to sup
press the olcomargarlne industry and
stave off the move to campel manufac-
turers and dealers In cloth goods 10 la
bel the same as 10 whether there IS any
shoddy in them or not.
Mr.. Martin states that the dairymen
members OF the convention were at first
strongly IN favor OF the proposed legs-
latlOn to down the oleOmargerlne trade,
but when Il was shown them that 30
per cent Of oieomargarlne Is butter and
cream, and that The suppression OF this
great Industry would greatly lnjure the
livestock and Western dairy Industries
the opposition weakened, and the reso-
luton sought for passed. Mr. Martin.
In referring TO shoddy, stated that the
amount used In this country In the
course OF a year n all wool, would rep
resent the secured product OF 100000
sheep-about one half the number IN
this country, and a wool valuatith OF
1876. 900, 600 lie also stated the necessity
OF the western interests 20 be affected
by adverse legislation, taking some Wig
orous action IN selfdefense, He said
the national dairy association had lev
led q tax of $50 on every dairyman In
the country and two bits per month be-
sides to meet the expense OF pushing
the Grout bill through Congress. So It
IN rather necessary that the Western
livestock men and the wool men pa; up
some OF the wherewithal TO help IN the

ing made against western interests by

lieve for instance, that they had three
fourths Of the property owned In tho

orders have ready cash was true, as

make loans He instanced a case IN

ties on the part OF the manager,

ment Is DESTROYS Of purchasing the

ordered from Europe by ocean route,

Training Shepherd Do~s

The natives of Mexico seem to have
an original way of training shepherd
dogs. A pup is taken from it's mother
as soon after birth as possible, the
breed Of the dog being immaterial.
The young Of a sheep Or goat is taken
away, and the pup is substituted.
After the first few days the pup Is
never fed except just before the flock
goes to pasture in the morning and
just after the sheep are brought in at
night.
AS soon as he can walk he goes out
with the flock and stays with it all
day. Whenever he begins to antici-
pate supper by trying to drive the flock
in before shutdown he gets punished.
After he is about a year old he takes
a flock out, guards it from other dogs
and coyotes during the day and brings
it in at the proper time at night
without supervision. All kinds of
temptations can be tried on any dog
that is encountered in the hills with
his flock, but in spite of all he will re-
main faithful to his duty, driving his
flock to a safe distance before ventur-
ing to make the acquaintance Of any
other dog.

PecuIiarities of Russian Winters.

There is one curious thing about a
Russian winter-in the latter part of
October Or the beginning of November
the weather will be as mild as it is here
in September. Not sign can be seen of
an approaching change, when sudden
ly, without any apparent warning,
light haze will be seen in the northern
sky, and in twenty-four hours the
thermometer may fall SO degrees. The
change is so sudden and violent that
travellers are frequently frozen to
death before they can gain shelter.
1t has occurred that farmers out
looking after their aocks have been
caught in one of these billiards. and,
missing their way home, have lost
their lives, their bodies remaining un-
der the snow until the following spring.
The suddenness of a Dakota blizzard
is well known in the northwestern
part of our country, but it is hardness
personified when compared with the
rapidity with which Russian winter
storm comes on.
