THE FARM DOG.

A sensible and humane writer in
the American Agriculturist says:
The farm dog should be given com
Portable and protected quarters dur
ing the cod winter months. Some
farmers like to have their dogs about
the stable. II hole is cut through
the lower part of the door and an old
fertilizer bag tackled over it the dos
can go 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 filed with
straw, with piece of sack tackled
over the front, will serve the pur'
pose"

SHEEP THAT PAY.

No farmer should keep sheep be-
cause they are scavengers and can
pick off a 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
investment of labor is to sacrifice
profits. Success is assured only
when the farmer is willing to use
breeds that give large carcasses and
which respond 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
had.

peafness Cannot Ba Curea

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine eases out OF ten

The Duel Under the Palms
CHAPTER IN.

ShAI La
''MYNHEER JOE, AwAKE-DANGER!"
1t is little trouble for Mynheer Joe
to find out where Demosethenes Tan
ner is Quartered. One of the English
servants of Shepherds gives him the
Information, and is tipped Immediate
ly in way that warns his heart.
As Joe passes by window, on his
way to the quarters of the great Amer
lean orator, he is given a last glimpse
of the drawing-room or parlor of the
hotel. aud avails himself of the OPP
portunity to take look in the direc-
ton where he saw Molly standing.
She is still here, but seated upon a
Turkish divan, and at her side is the
little war correspondent, talking ear
nestly. Joe's heart gives a bound of
pure delight when he notes the look of
pleased surprise spreading over her
fair countenance as she hears Sandy's
marvellous tale; for the latter is used
to making the most of any news; it is
his daily business, and surely time has
never given him a morsel he can en-
large upon with more pleasure than
the valor of his dear friend Joe.
God bless him = he's 4 comrade
worth having. In battle brave as n
lion, despite his size; in time Of
trouble a wise counselor. l hope the
day will come when can do as much
for Sandy"
Thus muttering Mynheer Joe moves
along the corridor until he finally
reaches the door to which he has been
directed He makes survey and
finds that the light flows from the
windows. which is pretty good indi-
cation that the inmate has not retired.
Boldly he knocks-this thing has to
be gone through with. and the sooner
he starts at it the better. Besides. Joe
has pretty good idea that he holds
the trumps and can best Demosthenes
Tanner as readily at argument as lie
lid in the duel.
Come in" roars voice that would
scare n crocodile half to death.
Mynheer Joe opens the door and
pushes through into the room, surpris-
ing the giant in the act of saturating
handkerchief with the extract OF
hammamells, as Joe instantly recoS-
nizes the odor. His back is toward
the door, and he does not even turn
his head to see who it is.

EGGS For MATCHING.

Eggs from healthy and active fowls

laid by pullets and eggs laid at the
beginning and ending of the laying

LooK TO THE BREED.

1t is not necessary for 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 farm
err should look around him before
purchasing COW. and ne should
make it his point to know about the
breeds and which of them will suit
his purpose best.

ROOTS FOR HOG CHOLERA.

The claim has been made that IL
hogs are fed regular rations OF ROOF
crops such feeding will prevent chol-
era. The statement is too broad, for
while it is admitted that roots VIII
do much to keep the hog in good con-
iition. preserving the animals vital
ity and enabling it to fight OF dis
ease, such rations would be OF no
avail if the animals were surrounded
by everything conducive to the dread
disease, such as a filthy pen and
more filthy yard, damaged grain for
food and impure drinking water
After an experience of more than a
quarter of century in swine raising
believe that cholera is due wholly
to filthy quarters and the conditions

contagious or more properly lnfec-

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

First-class fruit in first-class shape
will probably create an inquiry lor
more of the same kind.
A large orchard poorly planted ana
poorly tended will not produce as
good results as fewer trees well cui-
tivated.
Young trees should not be trimmed
too literally. as too much foliage TAX
en- from the tree weakens its feeding
power.
Fruit trees planted on the north
side of high. hilly ground are never
known to utterly fail on account OF
damage from freezing.
In many instances apple trees bear
only every other year. Were IL not
for this fact the trees would neces-
sarily be very short-lived.
Thrifty young trees are more apt to
live than larger ones. Their ROOFS are
smaller and more apt to be all taken
in transplating.
Many an unoccupied fence corner
might be growing tree il set there.
In a few years it would be source OF
beauty and comfort.
The bed for sweet peas should be
prepared as soon as possible, and the
peas planted as coon as the ground
can be worked in the spring.
Tear out old and good for nothing
trees; plant good ones of the sorts
which suit your local conditions.
1t is a good deal more trouble TO
set trees in a straight row than in
crooked one; but they look better and
are more easily cultivated.
When cultivating an orchard care
should be taken rot to plant crop
that requires too deep cultivation or
too deep digging to harvest it.

GREATER VARIETY ON FARMS

The farmer who confines himself TO
two or three staple crops and who
has not ventured beyond them does
not know the full capacity of his
farm. He should try some special
crops on small area and endeavor TO
have a greater variety of articles to
sell. The causes of failures in some
crops do not influence other kinds.
