Auditor. After the 18th Of June all persons
owning or harboring Dogs without the re-
ouircd license will be fined (as the laws on
the subject require) $ forcvery Dog so owned
or harbored.
Complaint has been frequently made that
many persons fail to take out their licenses,
and that others pay on one or two Dogs when
owning and harboring more, or who send
such dogs away during the summer months
and bring them back in the fall.
My attention has been called to this evasion
of the law, and shall require the policemen
to report all such eases, and Zines Will be I'M
posed upon those who fail to take out licenses
The police officers will be required to report
all violations Of this law.
In order to avoid any mistakes persons who
make application for license would do well tC
write their names and number Of residence

In Love With Ones Work.

A man passed through my stable the
other day, and looking at the cattle
feeding there, he said, ~ like to see
row of nice cattle. They look good to
me-"
That is the true farmer spirit. You
may put in your whole life at farming,
and in the end have lost all, or nearly
all. the happiness simply because you
do not love your calling To succeed
one must have more than pecuniary
motive in view He should be able IL
enter into sympathy with his COWS,
sheep and horses He must see 10 them
something more than dumb beasts, to be
treated as shabbily as possible aud final
ly turned away for song.
The man who can go through series
of years on the farm and not be better
man, kinder of heart and more sympa-
thetic to all the helpless creatures about
him is hard hearted man The sick
nesses of his cows and sheep, the all
meuts of his horses aud other farm ami
mails, are well calculated to awaken il
him kindly feeling which will lead
him to do all 10 his power to allev ate
their suferings. Some men are so brutal
with their stock that they fail is derive
the profit they should from them They
are themselves made harsh and cruel by
their treatment of their cattle.
1t is the same way with other farm.
IL Al "a
ought to love the everyday things thai
come in the line Of his duty. l know
men who do not even cut down q tree
especially live one. without a sense O
personal loss These are the true farm
ers. Farming is more than blowing
sowing and gathering into barns. Il is
living The more we realize this, thu
better work we will do and the more
successful we will be.-E. l. Vincent

Agricultural.
MORE ACRES

The ambition to own and cultivate
broad acres is an American disease from
which few Of Us are immune. This dis
ease is not so much sordid desire to
add to worldly possessions as it is for
qualification Of the desire of ownership,
Of dominion when analysed, it will be
found to be feature of mans kinship
with Nature. In many cases the disease
is fatal, and is to be treated in the first
stage Of its development.
The soldier said to his general, "When
in battle / cannot reach my enemy, as
my sword is too short !"
"Lengthen it by a STEP" said the
general.
BY the same method acres may be
broadened by deepening them. When
an acre is made to double its product
the acres are doubled, but the invest.
ment and care have not increased in the
same ratio. The love of domain may
not have been grati6ed, but the spirit Of
conquest has, and it is an exemplifca-
ton of the triumph Of mind over mat.
ter. The primitive reaching out for
more land has grown to the keen intel
lectual pleasure of having made better
land. Increasing ones number of acres
will make one merely larger landhold-
err; improving the quality Of bis acres
by understanding and supplying their
needs makes one landlord.
A farmer may make living by hard
work and economy, under ordinary con
drtions, by raising fifty bushels of pota-
toes, twenty bushels Of wheat, one ton
of hay and thirty bushels of corn to the
acre. Twice the number of acres with
the same production would not much in
crease his profit, but would double bis
work and worry and investment. Twice
the yield to the acre would mean more
than five times his other profit, with
but little more work and investment. II
would mean bigger barns and gamers,
bigger man, better and wider life
not circumscribed and bounded by his
line fences. For these deeper acres
there is vast army of earnest, we'll
equipped workers and experimenters
working all over the land-no other oc-
cupation has such forces operating for
it as those that operate for tho farmer -

fastening the decline. Il was ra!d that when
in by leading financial interests. but IL so they
were not enough to keep prices from breaking
through that figure.
Amalgamated Copper-One OF the ste6diest
stocks was Amalgamated Copper. There was a
moderate buying by pool brokers. but the prn-
cipal reason for the relative strength OF the
stock was declared TO be the absence OF SELL
ing pressure This was taken to indicate that
the POOLS holdings were Larger than was
generally thought. Trade reports were Of a
stronger marke, for the metal.
New York Central-The marked weakness Of
the New York Central aroused much comment.
The selling. however. did not appear to be due
TO further liquidation so much as TO a very
aggressive selling by spectators known to be
bearish on the general market. who have been
aware OF the steady liquidation in the stock for
some time past. The movement was accom-
panied by renewed talk OF a new issue Of stock.
Muscular eous-The room made a great deal Of
selling by certain commission-houses having Bal
timore and Washington connections. Talbot J.
TAYLOR G. Co. sold several of the stocks which
later were among the weakest. Post & Flagg
were large sellers around the room. as were also
Harris, Gates & Co. There was very little in
the way of news or gossip. and the most IRE
ouent explanation for the markets Weakness
was the old one of more sellers than buyers
