THE DOG NUISANCE.

would appear that some of the damage

do not think any farmer who owns
stock should be without a dog. He
should be treated well and put up
nights. Any dog is liable to join other
dogs straying about. That is when the
mischief is done. A dog that would
not touch n sheep when alone. will
often help others. If the tax was en-
forced and any dog not worth paying
for was destroyed il would soon re-
duce the number of worthless ours.
This would be n great comfort to
sheepmen. A flock Of sheep that have
been worried by dogs are a long time
getting over the fright.-Richard VOL

THE WIFES ALLOWANCE.

Marriage is n partnership in special
sense, I'm which the man is generally
the bread-winncr; but IL by no means
follows that the woman is merely an
ornament or n doll arrayed in pretty
dresses or house. gowns. In the ideal
home the wife bears her share OF the
burdens that must come. it would
seem, to all of us. She keeps the house
more or less elaboratcly. according TO
the circumstances. If she has one
servant or more, her burdens take
other forms than if she did her own
work. lf she has children. there Is the
responsibility of caring for them and
training them. The mothers influence
upon her children for good or evil is
very great. IL there are guests at the
home. the matter of entertainment
largely devolves upon the wife. Her
duties are multifarious, and when she
has done all, she is expected TO he n
companion for her husband. and to he
interested in he things in which he is
Interested. All this is just rs much the
contribution to the household happi-
ness and comfort as the money the
husband brings home every week. In
business matters the wife should be
treated like a business partner; she
should have an allowance. and should
not have false sentiment about asking
for it.-Woman's Home Companion.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Farmers are becoming more pro-
gressive. and are also beginning to
work on more scientific lines. At many
Of the experiment stations the sons OF
farmers are taking special courses in
agriculture, with the result that they
become largely instrumental In improy-
ing farm methods in their communities
when they return TO their homes. The
period has passed for expressions Of
contempt for the theoretical farmer, as
theory and practice have demonstrated
by actual tests that no advance can be
made by practical effort alone. The
theoretical farmer may have been lack
ing in skill when handling the plow,
or in the use OF other implements, and
his theories may also have failed. but
he aimed for something better and be-
came an educator of others. The most
progressive agricuturists are those who
are not satisfied with present methods.
They ale willing to experiment to
learn and to teach and they bring into
the community better breeds, improved
fruits and superior varieties of grasses,
grains and vegetables. Some of them
have gone into bankruptcy because Of
unwise expenditure in their efforts to
do more than others. but they left their
neighbors better off, and also better
supplied with live stock and more fer.

GROOM THE HORSES.

The proper and frequent grooming
Of work horses is too little done by
farmers who do not appreciate the i'm
portance OF the work. 1t may appeal
10 you when We assert without fear OF
contradiction that a we'll groomed
horse works better and requires less
food than a horse kept in a filthy con-
dition. Proper grooming means proper
circulation Of the blood and opens the
pores OF the skin. When circulation
has become impeded and the pores OF
the skin are blocked up with filth. the
animal is out OF sorts and cannot work
with normal vigor. nor can it derive
the due amount of nuiriment from its
food. hence it is tempted TO eat more
than other horses.-Indlana Farmer.
