Various methods of protecting sheep
from dogs are used in almost every sec.
ton where the sheep industry is carried
on. Some of them are practical and no
doubt would accomplish the object with
out endangering the sheep. One old
raiser gives his methods which he has
practised successfully. He made
practice of using number of bells, as
many as half a dozen to the hundred.
His reason for doing this was on the
theory that when bells would ring the
dogs would howl, giving evidence ,ol
pain, and still another idea was that the
noise would be so great that the dogs
would be alarmed. 1t is believed bJ
many that the sheep-killing dog loves
seclusion to do his work of destruction
and still another reason is in its increas
ing the liability of being discovered and
that there is more to be gained by bell
ing the sheep than to take the chances
of the still hunt made by the dog thief
The probable effect of the noise made
by a lot of bells will be readily seen
"Bell the sheep by all MEANS" he says
"Require the strongest sheep IN TIT
flock TO carry the bells, for the reason ol
their ability to Withstand the chase o
the dog the longest, increasing tn
chances Of detection by some one."-

Buying Milk by the Test.

Prof r. A. Pearson in an address re-
Gently said: Milk for the market should
te bought from the producers on a basis
of it's fat content and it's sanitary cOndi-
ton; it's value as salable product de,
rends upon these two things. Every
one knows that per cent milk is worth
more than per cent to the dealer, and
milk that has been carefully handled is
worth more than that which has not.
Why should not these two desirable
factors be paid for at a fair rate? Al
most every argument in favor of paying
for milk delivered to factory, on a fat
basis, applies with equal force to market
milk and there are just as strong argu-
ments in favor cf having the value gov.
erned also by the sanitary condition.
The Babcock test shows the fat content
quickly and accurately. An occasional
examination of the producing premises
supplemented by tasting and smelling
the milk when delivered and the simple
dairy industry is rapidly develop ng in
their section, showing that their methods
are wise. The president of that com
pany told me recently that most patrons
deliver the higher price cream, or soon
patronize another creamery, where there
is no discrimination between good and
bad. II a creamery finds it profitable
to differentiate between good and poor
cream at the rate of to 10 cents per
hundred pounds of milk, the buyer OF
market milk would find it profitable
also to adopt such plan.

Yes. sir, several times, and agree

"Oh, father, you know that have

Nonsense, Katharine! Don't speak
of him in that way. Give him time. 1t
is hard thing. He is her only son;
she Is a widow Let us hope that some
thing will induce him to come over to
u.s." He said this in gentle reproof Of
his spirited daughter, and then:
Permit me to offer you a glass OF
wine, Seymour-yOu are not drinking
anything, and to whom shall we
drink"
Seymour, who had been quafang

own glass.
The colonel laughed as he drank his
toast, saying, Nothing comes before
country with Katharine"
And Seymour, while he appreciated
the spirit of the maiden, felt little
pang of grief that even to a country
he should be second-an astonishing
change from that spirit OF humility

with metaphorically kissing the ground
she walked upon.

raiders-and nervous too! What ails
you, daughter? thought you never
were nervous. We Wiltons are not ac-
customed to nervousness, you know,
and what must our guest think?'
Nothing but what is altogether
agreeable" replied Seymour, little
too promptly, and then, to cover his
confusion, he continued: But l think
Miss Wilton need feel under no ap.
prehension. Master Philip is with
Bentley, and l would trust the pru-
dence and courage and skill Of that
man in any situation. You know my
father who was shipmaster, when he
died aboard his ship in the China seas,

Mystery o.. IN. Popular Novel.

Mystery 80 the Popular Novel.
"We are apt to think" says the New
York Evening Post, that the selling Of
poor novels by the hundred thousand
is modern phenomenon In the book
trade: but, in fact, it Is not entirely
new. In one of the group Of Haw-
thorne's letters he says: What Is the
mystery of these innumerable editions
Of The Lamplighter" and other books
neither better nor worse!--worse they
could not be, and better they need not
be when they sell by the hundred
thousand The question is a little pa
thetic when we remember that Haw-
thorne little before this time had
spoken of himself us the least read au-
thor in America. 1t shows, too, that
the mystery of the popular novel was
as great then as 1t is today. One could
understand why thrilling tale OF
cheaply cOncocted adventure might
captivate the multitude, but the curl
GUS point is that some of the high sell
ers are simply dull and respectable.
These things, too, lie on the knees OF
the GODS"

Farmers should make practice of
testing and weighing their milk. 1t is
not necessary that every man own a
Babcock tester; but there should be one
in every dairy community. Then ana
lyze the milk at least twice per year,
one at the early period of lactation and
the other when the COW is we'll along in
the period. The milk can be weighed
three times a month at a minimum cost.
By combining the analysis with the
weight, you can tell which cow is pay
ing her keep and which one is being
kept at a loss.
Some time ago the Vermont station
bought from state dairyman COW for
S45. The dairyman had never made a
test, but he was of the opinion that she
was Improbable. The college kept an
account of the cows butter record. Her
lowest average for year was 400 pounds
and her highest 537 pounds. The but
ter sold at 25 to 80 cents per pound. 1t
will thus be seen that she paid for her
self two or three times each year; still
the dairyman\ \yas anxious to get rid OF
her. There are many farmers just like
this; they sell the wrong cows.-Prof. j.
C. Hills.
