DOG SHOWED SENSE.
How n Big Newfoundland Got Ria Of
q Little Bull Terrier That
Annoyed Him.

A little crowd of seedy men, says
the New York Tribune, were gath
cred the other night about n of the
ugly furnaces hat defaced City Hall
park, while the contractors were COW
ering the plaza with asphaltum. They
were warming their bodies in the
tarry smoke that steamed out of it.,
and had deserted their seats under
the trees where they had slept most
Of the summer.
81 saw a queer thing happen here
yesterday" said n of them. "a
big Newfoundland dog, with a muzzle
on him, was following n boy along
Mail street, when a little bull-terrier
made a dash for him and got a death
grip on one of the big fellows ears.
It was all done so quickly that the
Newfoundland dog was being well
chewed before he knew what struck
him. He gave a howl and a snap
at the little brute, but his muzzle
would not allow him to open his
jaws, and the b~ull-terrier chewed
away like mad. All he could do was

did not lose his grip, and went along,
too. They dashed through the crowd,
passed the fountain, and out on the
plaza here, where the big fellow
nearly ran owe a pail of smoking hot
tar that was standing for a moment
by the side of a workman, who had
stopped to light his pipe.
"Quick as a flash the big dog
stopped, and threw his head as high
in the air as he could. This dragged
the little terrier we'll off his feet, and
nearly tore the ear from the head of
the Newfoundland, but when the lit
tie brute came down again, he lit
plump in the pail of burning tar. He
let go quick enough then you bet,
and as the big fellow trotted off,
shaking his head, I felt like giving
him a cheer for his smartness."

been located on the railroad side of tho
boundary between the company's land
and the public highway, whereas it is
now suggested that it ought to be out

ages which the change is supposed
to possess:
In case of wandering animals feeding
along the roadside, their attention will
be directed away from the right of way
of the railway instead of finding an
opening into which their curiosity
tends to lead them, as is the case under
the ordinary arrangement.
It reduces the length of crossing
upon which animals can gather, as is
their tendency in some localities. At the
same time, it does not impair the use
fulness of the highway in the least,
since the part thus fenced in is not used
for travel.
It will be additionally effective as a
crossing signal, and prevent teams I'M
der the guidance of irresponsible driv-
ers from turning down the track. Of
this there are several disastrous in
stances, particularly in reference to
the old pit guard, as we'll as others.
It offers no inducement for the ami
mails to 60 on the right Of way, because
there are apparently only tile track,
ties and ballast protected by a guard)
to the right or left. while there is the
regular highway with no hindrance
left open to them. with an apparent
open gateway which curiosity will
tend to lead them to choose.
In case of cattle being met on the
crossing by a train, as is frequent. the
fences will act as a shelter behind
which the animals will dodge. instead
OF, as now. making a rush for the OPEN
ing which the guard is called upon to
protect.

U OF SOUR MILK.
of Handling Are the Principal
Sources of Loss.

Milk sours because in the process Of
growth and multiplication of the
bacteria the milk sugar is changed to
Tactic acid. When there is enough
acid present to be apparent to the taste
the milk is said to be sour. Bacteria,
like corn or any higher form of plants
require food, moisture and sufficient
heat in order to grow and multiply.
Milk has the necessary moisture, is a
perfect food and is usually at the right
temperature for rapid growth of bac-
terra.
Since the keeping quality of milk
bears a direct relation to the bacteria
which gain access, it is important to
prevent their getting into the milk.
The udder and adjacent parts of the
body which are much shaken during
milking is n of the chief sources of
infection, while the dust of the stable,
the hands and clothes of the mixer to-
gether with the pals and cans used are
only slightly less important sources.
Experiments show that milking in a
stable where the circulation of air can
carry the dust out; whipping the udder
with a damp cloth, and scalding uten-
sils with live steam or boiling water,
will not only reduce the bacterial con-
tent, but increases the keeping
quality of the milk materially. A COW
cred milk pail, with only a small open
ing to milk into, reduced the number
of germs falling into the pail one
fourth as compared with a common
pail, and the milk kept sweet 20 hours
longer. Immediately cooling after
milking is next in Importance. Milk
allowed to stand two hours without
cooling contained % times as many
germs as when milking was finished,
while that which was cooled to "a de-
grees, only had four times as many at
the end of two hours. This emphasizes
the Importance of quick and thorough
cooling.-Midland Farmer.

year ago last season destroyed nearly
all Ine noS cnOlera germs IN the corn

disease is very rare there. The most
dangerous and unwholesome room in

DON'T BET ON YOUR WATCH.
Thds Is the Advice OF q Jeweler who
Has Had Many Such WaEers
to Decide.

In the windows of nearly all the big
retail jewelry stores downtown are
chronometers. In fact, the chro-
nometer has become the most valuable
part of the window display, states the
New York Sun.
Two prosperous-looking men, after
comparing their watches the other day
with one of these chronometers, were
seen to go inside the store and a few
minutes later to reappear. AS they did
SO one of the men passed a roll of bills
to the other. Then they laughed.
shook hands and separated.
The jeweler stood inside and smiled
Its funny" he said to a Sun re-
porter, show many people there are
in this world who have the betting
fever and how foolishly they risk their
money. Those two men are samples.
Before the day is over I've no doubt
half a dozen more will be in to get Inc
to decide similar bets. Every day we
have some.
"What did they bet on? Why, on the
nearness of their watches to the cor
rect time. Of course, two men who
make such a bethave the betting bunch
to begin with. Then they're also stuck
on the watches they carry.
"There was the difference Of two
seconds between the watches in the
case you just noticed, but on that $25
changed hands. I've known it to be as
high>as a hundred.
"The difference between any two
watches is rarely less than half a sec.
ond. It's generally more. But when
a bet is made men generally want the
jeweler to decide it and, of course,
we're always willing. I guess quite a
few thousands have changed hands on
my decisions by this time.
"a man will get a watch abroad and
pay big money for it. He'll meet a
friend who has bought one of the
crack American watches, and if they've
got the sporting instinct a bet will al
most invariably follow a comparison
of the watches.
perhaps both men have set their
watches that day or the day before,
and so are willing to wager all the
money they've got with them, and
that's often a big roll.
"When one of them finds that his
watch, instead of being almost with
the chronometer, is, say, Is seconds out
he's the most surprised man in the
world.
IA man who bets on a watch, al.
though he may think he's betting on
the surest thing in the world, is betting
ON something nor uncertain than Q
racehorse. You can tell generally
when the horse isn't going to run
we'll, but you can't tell that about
your watch.
II wouldn't bet on the correctness
of my time from here to the next
block. In just that distance the main
spring might develop the weakness
that no test thus far devised can de
tect when it's made, and your watcl
is off. Then you lose your money i
you're foolish enough to bet on VIVA
you thought was a SURE thing"

A Maxim for Dairymen.

Do unto others as you would have
them do to you is a maxim for dairy
men especially. It is applicable to
the treatment of dairy stock. Smite
the mich cow with the milking stool,
and she will retaliate by giving less
milk. Sell your best feed and give
her the rest, and she will tell you of
it. Put her in a cold stable, and she
will give you cold comfort in return.
But doathe opposite of these things
and she will fill the milk pail and
help fill your pocketbood.-Dairy and

Some people seem to have formed
the idea that any kind of food is good

only intent on filling them with some
thing which will pass for food and
