AVERAGE AGE OF DOGS.

Many Live Much Longer.

The age TO which dog lives in the ordi-
nary course is always somewhat inter-
estiRg subject, especially at the present
time when so much is done in the way
of breeding for early maturity. For in

cases the overshown dog afterward rap
idly degenerates or dies an early death
A correspondent writes to The Field of
the death of his fox terrier at the advance
ed age OF IS years, having been born in
1854 He was either a son or a grandson of
Brokenhurst Joe. his late owner does not
know which. This is no doubt a case of un-
usual longevity; but instances of dogs liv-
ing to IA and Is years are common. DIR.
Leeney recorded the death OF a dog Of
Lord Ogilvier at % years old, IL arising
from an accident: while Mr.. w. l.. Little
Coach. about the same time, mentioned
two of his own dogs. one of which was
then living. hard on to 20 years old; the
other had died when just over that age.
The well known fox terrier, Belgrave
Joe, was born July 81. 1868. and died jan
uary Is. 1883, while another aged terrier
was one of a working stamp which came
from George Carter. of the Bedale. born
in january, 1880 and died February 13
1900 In several of the above well-authen-
tieated cases of longevity death either
arose from accident or was brought about
by the owner owing to the growing feeble
ness OF the poor creature. No mean can
be struck as 10 the average age of the
ordinary dog but this might be taken at
10 years as he is now.

SULLIVAN Ga April ., 1sVz.
Editor Journal.
Dear Sir-I noticed in a back number of
The Journal some one asking for remedy
to destroy ground moles. As have good
one. / will ask you to publish for the bene-
fit of The Journal readers. Make small
sharp peg and go where the mole has
fresh run and with the peg make a hole
in the track so that no dirt will fall in
and put two or three matches with heads
down in the hole. Do this in dry weather.
The first time Mr.. Mole passes he will
tackle them and it is his last. All who try
this will soon get rid of moles.

In conclusion, 1t gives me pleasure to
note the broad and progressive spirit
that is now so manifest among the farm
ers of Georgia. Each year witnesses an
increase in the number Of those who study
the needs of their lands, and intelligently
employ such methods of fertilization and
cultivation as the soil and crops demand.
It is equally encouraging TO note the m
creased attention that is being paid in
our common schools to studies bearing
upon agricultural topics. The result OF
this early training will be that the at
fractions of farm life will continue to in
crease, and the blessings which nature
has so lavishly bestowed upon our great
state will be more intelligently enjoyed
by the generations now coming
on 1t is a fact worthy of emphasis that
so far as the agricultural and industrial
interests OF Georgia are concerned there
is not one thing that justifies pessimis-
tic note. Our farmers are industrious and
prosperous; our mills are busy and our
masses employed; the commercial stand
ing of our merchants was never more sat

in better condition. They are no longer
called upon to run the farmer indefinitely,
but on the contrary are met with the
cash. or its equivalent. in almost every
transaction. Indeed, all the conditions
are highly gratifying and testify to the
wonderful progress that has been made
within the past few years. But even
though so much has been accomplished,
there is much more to be done. Georgia

Young ladies who may be moved to
emulate her may be interested to know
that the Denver Diana is only four feet
eleven inches tall. She is, however, eX-
traordinariiy muscular with no extra
pounds. Her exact measurements are
as follows: Forearm. inches; biceps.
o inches; wrist, 5 inches; calf, II
inches; thigh. 16is inches; waist, IS
inches; neck, - inches; chest, 80
inches; reach. GO inches.
Now, in addition TO her muscle and
pretty face, Miss Ethei Is young lady
Of marked initiative. When her stall
wart young brother confded To her
quite in secret his pugi.istic ambitions
she said to him:
"Listen to me, VIII. II you want
be a fighter, skip rope. 1t will help
your wind and it will make your feei
nimble."
The budding champion laughed.
Whereupon his sister explained fur
ther and he took her advice. This was
two years ago. To-day he is the cham
pion. This illustrates the remarkable
.sagacity Of woman.
Having become an expert rope
skipper and demonstrated the wisdom
Of the exercise to his own satisfaction,
young Mr.. Rothwell needed no persua-
sion to adopt the next piece Of ad-
vice his sister gave him.
This was that he should try saw
ing wood. In the back yard Of the
Rothwell house there is always an
enormous stack Of logs and a large
saw. She advised him to saw with his
right hand for Is or 20 minutes and
then do the same with his left. This
was to help him puncher. She was
always present to see that he did it
well.
II he grew tired she stiii kept him
at IL.
Before entering a battle Young Cor |
bett was coached at home or at his |
training quarters by this sister. At /
almost every fight she accompanied /
him as far as the amphitheater, when |
she would go home and await the re-
iult of his encounter. Her advice was
always: Keep cool and let the other
fellow do the worrying"
She figured that he would have a bet
er show Of winning by sidestepping
his opponent and delivering his ia
nous punches to the right or left jaw.
{ was seen about two years ago that
he kid" changed his tactics in the
ing, and it was at his sisters advice
hat he did so.
