The Farm Dog.

A sensible and humane writer in
the American Agriculturist says: "The
farm dog should be given comfortable
and protected quarters during the cold
winter months. Some farmers like to
have their dogs about the stable. If a
hole is cut through the lower part Cd
the door and en- old fertilizer bag
tackled over-it the dog can so in and
out at pleasure. If he is kept near the
house and nothing else is available for
protection an old barrel laid on its
side, half filled with straw. with a
piece of sack tackled over the front,
will serve the purpose"

No farmer should keep sheep be-
cause they are scavengers and can
pick off large share Of their food
from scanty heritage. Such sheep
must be active to travel over large
spaces in order to find subsistence. To
expect sheep to pay without the in
yestment of labor is to sacrifice profits.
Success is assured only when the
farmer is willing to use breeds that
give large carcasses and which re-
spond quickly to care and attention.
1t is only. the labor, after all. that
makes profit, but the labor must be
bestowed on the best to be had.

its bright color. He appears to take

is the cardinal with the scarlet crest,

A GREAT sourHERNeR.


General john ID. Gordon; Soldier,
S.atcsman and Orator.
A picturesque Southerner and one
of the last of the great generals OF tho
Confederate army was General John
Is. Gordon, W 40 recently passed away.
His valor IN war Won for him the adj
miration of his men; his services in
times of peace had brought to him the
thanks of State governments, and his
pleasing personality and character
made him one of the most popular
among the public men of the South
land
John Brown Gordon was born in
Epson County, Ga, February 6, 1882.
The Gordons came originally from
Scotland, land in which that name
is associated with everything that is
brave and chivalric. After graduating
at the head of his class from the Uni
versity of Georgia, young Gordon stud
led law and was soon admitted to the
bar. In 1854 the young man, then in
lbs 22d year, married Miss Fanny Har-
Alison, the daughter of Hon Hugh
HARRISON, for many years n prominent
Congressman from Georgia and chair
man of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs during the Mexican War;.
The breaking out of the Civil War
found young Gordon engaged in look
ing after some mining interests in the
northern part of Alabama. He at once
set about organizing a company among
the mountaineers. The company thus
formed received the characteristic
name of the 'Raccoon Roughs," the
appellation being derived from the
strange headgear of the men, which
was made from the skin of Il raccoon,
and their uncouth ways. This COM
mand was mustered into the Sixth Ala
bama Regiment and Gordon was made
Its major.
Gordon's regiment was with Ewcll
ut Manassas and the Battle of Seven

HEAD OF EMMER. IuteIy rust-proof,
emmer is affected only a little when
wheat and oats are badly injured.
Again, 1t is not damaged in the shock
by rainy weather like oats. 1t is
hardy. and should be sown very early
in the spring. tn growth at first
appears backward as compared with
oats or spring barley. The blades and
stems of the plant are fine, and 1t does
not grow as rank rs oats, but it stools
out well. forms large number of
short, compact heads and yields heav-
lily. Owing to its habit Of growth it
is much safer nurse-crop for grass
and clover than oats.

It Is not necessary for a cow to
give only small quantity of milk in
order to get rich milk. One can use
a breed that is famous for large yields
of rich milk rather than get rich milk
and low yields. Every farmer should
look around him before purchasing a
cow, and he should make it his point
to know about the breeds and which
of them will suit his purpose best.

Dairy schools are now i'll operation
In many States. and short courses of

Many of the large Western cattle
ranches have been broken up by the
Increase of irrigation, which make,
smaller farms more profitable in pro,
portion than ranches. 1t has been pre-,
dicted that before many years nearly
all cattle will be raised on small farms
or fenced ranges. Another reason is
that the free Government land once
occupied by the cattlemen is being rap
idly taken up by farm settlers.

After several years experience | am
convinced that for growing pigs be-
tween the age of . to 6 months barley
is preferable to corn if only one thing
is fed. But TO be able to feed barley
profitably it must be finely ground
and soaked at least six hours before it
Is given to the pigs. 1t should always
be fed in the form of very thick
slop. Skim milk is preferable to water
for making the slep, especially for
young pigs. once fed lot of pigs
. months old, and they made gain
of 2A pounds day each on finely
ground barley fed as very thick slop
with a liberal quantity of skim milk.
For very young pigs prefer to feed
equal parts of shorts and ground bar
ley and then gradually change it to
one-half each of corn and barley the
last six weeks, when finishing for
market.-Lewis O'FOllow.

The young man who is thinking OF
leaving the farm for the city may
learn when it is too late that while
he can earn more in the city he can
not save as much as he could on the

petence he in nine cases out of ten
will do it the sooner on farm. There
are more chances to spend money in

WHEN THE VOYAGE ENDS.


Two ships, which for time
Beside each other lay,
At anchor in foreign cline,
Together sailed one day.
A while, across the main
The self-same coarse they took,
Until mighty hurricane
The seas with fury shook.
Then, by the tempest tossed,
When it had -overblown
Each captain mourned his co,isort lost
Y In ocean depths gone down.
Both vessels onward sailed,
Toward England's southern shore,
But neither all the voyage hailed
Or saw its fellow more.
At length, in thickest night,
One entered Plymouth Sound;
And, 10, when broke the morning bright
They side by side were found.
How many on lifc's seas,
In peace and amity
Sailing together in the breeze,
In storms part company!
But when the voyage ends,
And storms and gloom are past,
Long sundered yet still loving friends
Shall meet in port at last. !.
