and mine. | regret that 1 cannot fully
agree with the Niagara Falls congress
in their conclusion that everything has
already been done that is necessary to
help the producers. There are still a
few things left.
The sister congress sitting at Ogden
lately was of opinion that something
should be done to help producers in the
arid regions by applying water. Better
varieties of plants are wanted in nearly
every part of the United States. Much
OF the country has not been provided
with grasses and legumes suitable 10
different localities. Attention should be
given to the Ie-forestation of our own
country. The cotton plant demands at
tention, and the lands in the cotton
growing States invite study. We should
g=ow a hale OF cotton where we are now
growing a half bale TO the acre. And
this can be done by proper management
OF the soil, rotating crops. filling the
soil with humus, and giving more atten-
tion to the grazing animals

SECOND CAVALRY MEN
GONE TO BUILD RANGE
Will Be Constructed in the
Suburbs of Leesburg.
TARGET PRACTICE TO BE HAD
Exercises Left Unfinished at Ordway
Because of Accident to Be Com
pleted at Virginia Town

A detachment of the Second Cavalry.
under command OF Lieut. G. McH. Eby.
left Fort Myer today for Leesburg, Va,
to. construct target range on the out
skirts OF the town for the continuation
of record gun practice interrupted by
the condemnatiop Of the former range
at Ordway. The erection of the new
range will require about weeks work.
and at the expiration OF that time two
troops of the cavalry will Immediately
establish quarters there to complete the
practice begun at ordway.
The advance detail, consisting of
twenty men, exclusive OF the officers in
charge, is scheduled to reach Leesburg
this evening. Work will begin at once
on the construction OF a range, and ev-
cry precsution will be taken TO guard
against an accident like that which mar
red the shooting at ordway. With fav-
orable weather conditions the new site
will be in readiness not later than next
Friday.
An Unfortunate Accident.
The practice at the former range was
interrupted by the accidental shooting
of woman. Although the unfortunate
occurrence had no serious results. the
range was declared to be unsafe. and the
troops were recalled to Fort Myer At
that time only two troops of the cav
airy had finished both the preliminary
and record practice. while the remain
ing two had qualified only partially.
1t is to complete this work that the
1
after the place has been put In readi-
ness Troops and G will leave the fort
for Leesburg. and will remain there for
about a month. The practice will in
clude shooting with all guns employed
In the cavalry service.
The new site is in the suburbs of lhe
Virginia town. 1t has been pronounced
free from all danger to persons residing
in the neighborhood. and there is littlc
likelihood Of a repetition OF the Ordwal
accident.

KENTUCKY C0LLIEs.
Race Of Dogs That HAS Been Drought
to . High state Of Intenigence
ana Usefulness.

The spirit which has made Kentucky
famous in men and in women is the
same spirit that has given it pre-
dominance in the development OF it's
animals. IT has the fastest horses; It
is the originator of the "shorthorn"
cattle in America, and ii has deyei-
oped races of dogs that are as far su-
perior 20 their progenitors as the pres
ent Kentuckian or Kentucky girl is su-
perior to the original Adam and Eye
type OF the human race, says the Louis
vile Courier-Journal.
The old-time shepherds, or collies,
by careful system Of breeding, which
has been pursued by the Kentuckians,
have developed into the most inteiii-
gent and useful animals Of their class
IN the world. In appearances, in mark
ings and in the various characteristics
which make up the good dog, the
Scotch and Kentucky are absolutely
identical. In good dog sense in adapt
ability. in capacity to learn, and in
numerous other phases the Kentucky
dog is far ahead of his Scottish rela-
tive.
His pedigree is not matter OF record
in professional kennels; he rarely ap-
pears for exhibition in bench shows,
but he takes care of his masters cat
tie and his masters house and family,
He keeps the children from fighting.
keeps peace among smaller dogs and
among human beings, rarely permits
a blow to be struck in his presence.
The Kentucky collie is large and i'm
mensely powerful While not of a
fighting disposition and disposed to
avoid canine conflicts-more SO, prob
ably. than any other class of dogs-he
is a furious and fearless opponent
when crowded into action. His punish
ing power is tremendous and his cour-
age equals that Of the bull.
These dogs make admirable pets. AS
watchdogs they are perfect. They are
easily taught not to eat away from
home. thus avoiding the danger Of
poison. They readily learn to go to
the grocers or to the butchers and
bring home parcels, or to take and
bring parcels and notes TO or from
those friends Of the master or mistress
whom he knows. Taking him as a
whole. there is no dog in existence, so
| far as accessible information demon
strates. that adds so many especial
qualities TO the regular ones which we
are accustomed to attribute to the en-
tire canine race. as does the Kentucky
collie. The collie has its highest state
Of development around High Bridge.
