MIKE AND JIM.

There are two little dogs who
live out in this small country
town OF mine, who are the best
OF friends, and yet are just as
different as they can possibly be.
Their names are Jim and Mike. Mike
is quiet and lazy, and loves warm
fire and a comfortable rug more than
anything else in the world Jim is full
GO energy and go. and would rather be
out OF doors in the cold than anything
he knows Of. Jim is a neat, trim little
fellow, with crisp, white curls, and a
tail perpetually erect, while Mike has
black straight hair, and slOuches along
the street.
But their chief difference, and the
one l really started to tell you about.
is how Jim loves bath and how Mike
hates one. When Nike gets so dirty
that his coat is positively green with
dust, his mistress may innocently re-
mark, "Well, Nix, guess you'll have
a bath to-day" Instartly Mr.. Nix
sinks off, and when they get the
water ready and the soap and towels

there is only one small opening for

CATALPA TREES VALUABLE.

CATALPA TREES VALUABLE.
Much has been written regarding
the need of renewing the forests OF
this country and the suggestion made
that farmers might help along this
good work by setting several acres in
some good forest tree. While il is gen.
orally best to set trees g some class
native to the soil, the catalpa is becom-
ing popular for general planting be-
cause Of its hardness AMI rather quick
growth. Mistakes have been made,
however, in setting the wrong va
riety, for it has been demonstrated
that catalpa speciosa is easily propa-
gated, is hardy, grows straight and
the wood is much more valuable than
catalpa bignonoides, of which so many
trees have been set and proved disap-
pointing.
Catalpas may be readily grown from
seed and transplanted when about two
years old when they should be set in
rows eight feet apart and not less than
four feet apart in the row. Farmers
can not hand down to posterity any
better legacy than n wood lot Of lib
eral size and they may do it at small
expense.

that the so-called exhaustion of the
