Now, whars dat fool animule, he

the direction whence the sound came,
but could see nothing but a great cloud
of dust bearing rapidly down upon him.

HIS is story that went the
rounds of The Lambs and The
Players in New-York sometime ago,
and was appreciatively recognized as
characterizing human condition or two.
There was dog of no special ped
igree, but he had a kind owner and
most comfortable home. One day he
got lost. For days he wandered about
the streets of New York, hungry, be-
draggled, driven away from everywhere,
chased, and utterly bewildered. But he
slept in alleys and managed to elude
all official vigilance.
At last, one rainy morning, he was
dragging himself across a street when
butchers cart came round a corner and
struck him, and he ran yelping to the
nearest curb. Near where he gained
the sidewalk a victoria was drawn up,
with two men in livery on the box and
hveried footman lettering about with
magnificent robe across his arm. And on
the maroon cushions of the victoria,
wrapped in a splendid blanket and wearing
a collar set with jewels, was registered
dog, languidly painting in the lap of
luxury.
The poor bedragg1ed cur looked up at
him for a moment, then he hurled HIM
self across the walk, barking. yelping and
snarling up to the very step of the equi-
page, his eyes fixed fiercely enough on the
Indifferent face of the luckier beast, which
payed not the slightest heed to his out
burst nor, indeed, SO much as turned his
head.
AT the same moment the woman
whose carriage was waiting came from
a shop, the footman quickly kicked aside
the barking dog, helped his mistress in
and sprang to his place. And the dog on
the sidewalk, in his misery and dispair
ran forward again and snapped at the
step of the carriage.
Then the coachman touched the horses
they sprang forward, and as they did so
the registered dog in the splendid blanket
and the jeweled collar looked slightly over
his shoulder. and his eyes met those of
the poor beast in the mud. The rich ;"

Aunt Cyndia stood in the door and

the street, his torn hat nesting far back
on his gray hair, his shabby coat Tapping
in the wind the musket clasped threaten
ing1y in both hands. Then she shook her
head obviously and turned back into the
house.
A ha1f-hour later Uncle David re-
turned, his face wreathed in smiles
and his eyes rolling in an ecstasy of
delight
What you done, now?" his wife
inquired. "You done kill dat dar ell

''Sh-sh!' replied her husband, slipping
his musket stealthily behind the door.
"Doan you go tellin' nobody Use been

Forests Destroyed by Sheep.


Sheep are exceedingly harmful, es.
pecially on steep slopes and where the
soil is loose, says Clifford Pinchot In
such places their small, sharp hoofs
cut and powder the soil, break and
overthrow the young trees and often
destroy promising young forests alto
gether. In many places the effect Of
the trampling is to destroy the forest
floor and to interfere very seriously
with the flow Of streams. In the Alps
OF southern France sheep grazing led
to the destruction, first, Of the noun
tain forests and then of the grass
which had replaced them, and thus
left the soil fully exposed to the rain.
Great floods followed, beds of barren
stones were spread over the fertile
fields by the force of the water, and
many rich valleys were almost or al
together depopulated. Besides the loss
occasioned in this way, it has cost
the French people tens of millions of
dollars to repair the damage begun by
tie sheep, and the task is not yet fin
ished. The loss to the nation is enor-
mously greater than any gain from the
mountain pastures could have been,
and even the sheep owners them
selves, for whose profit the damage
was done, were losers in the end, for
their industry in that region was ut
tarlv destroyed.

Care in Feeding SkimmiIk.

Whole milk is the best of natures
foods, but whole milk is seldom fed.
In the operation of skimming the fat
is removed, which changes the char
acter of the food very materially.
Skimmilk Is rich in bone and flesh
forming material, but owing to the fat
being removed, it is very one-sided
ration, having what is known as a
narrow nutritive ratio. It has great
tendency to be constipating when fed
alone to young pigs. Many farmers
have suffered much loss by feeding
too much skinned milk to young pigs
when shut up in pens where they
could not get to the ground or succu-
lent food, such as grass and roots. The
pigs usually look fat and we'll until
some morning, when being fed, some
of them will take what is commonly
known as a fit and may die inside of
an hour. If they do recover, and the
food is not changed, tfny and their
companions will show a dirty, scuryy
appearance on the skin about the
eyes, back of the ear and back of the
shoulders, and the hair becomes curly.
and the pig will have tendency to
go around with his back bumped up.
This is owing to deranged condition
of the digestive organs, which should
be remedied by giving the pigs dose
Of raw linseed oil. and then follow by
giving plenty of succulent food, such
as roots or grass, and plenty of exer-
else. do not wish to be understood
to condemn SKINNED milk for food. It
is one of the best of feeds, but it
should not be fed in great quantities
to young pigs. A little ground fiaxseed
is an excellent thing to add to it,

Shrinkage in Cured Hay.
The variations in weight of hay are
perhaps more marked than in most
farm products, says Farmers Bulletin
149. A considerable difference in
shrinkage occurs between hay cured
in dry weather and hay cured when
the atmosphere Is more or less moist.
For this reason the shrinkage in hay
In a dry climate is usually smaller
than in the more humid regions. At
the Kansas station small quantities
of thirteen different kinds Of hay
buried In the NOW from four to six
months shrunk As per cent on an
average, ranging from q IA per cent
loss to 3 per cent gain. Five tons
OF very dry timothy hay stored in q
NOW for six months at the Michigan
station lost nearly per cent, and in
another test $500 pounds Of the same
kind Of hay in good condition placed
in the NOW July had lost 776 pounds
or 1873 per cent by February Ii fol-
lowing. Practical men estimate that
hay put in the NOW when in good
condition usually shrinks about 20 per
cent by the time it is baled. The
Utah station has reported loss Of
little over Is per cent in ton of tim
Othy hay after it had been kept in
the barn for nine months. A stack
Of timothy hay containing little over
two tons and built in the open had
gained a little over per cent during
She same time. The results with
clover hay at the same station show
a loss of 3.75 per cent during nine
months when kept in the barn and
gain Of 10 per cent for the same Pc
Rod when stacked out of doors. At
the Missouri station timothy hay in
the stack lost about 12.5 per cent by
spring. and when stored in the NOW
about per cent. A stack of second
growth clover put up at this same
station in July had shrunk about 30
per cent in weight by the following
March.
The results of experiments con-
Quoted by different stations show that
the degree of maturity at which hay is
cut influences very largely the shrink
age during curing. At the Pennsyl-
vania station early cut hay lost on an
average OF 20 per cent in weight,
while late cut hay lost only 21.5 per
cent. Timothy cut when just begin.
ming to head lost rs per cent of water
in curing; when cut at the beginning
OF the blossoming period, &C per cent;
and cut little later, or about the
usual time, 81 per cent The Michi-
gan station found a shrinkage of about
gu per cent in curing clover. At the
New York state station meadow
fescue mixed with little red clover
lost in one lot 62.6S per cent and in
another 5S.25 per cent during curing.
The moisture retained in cured fodder
varies with different kinds. Atwater
s-ates that for New England timothy
hay retains on an average IL per cent
of moisture, clover hay IA per cent,
and corn fodder rs per cent

Better Farming.

Among the different topics discussed
at the Farmers Institute meetings,
perhaps none has received so little
attention as this subject, and yet it
is one Of great Importance. Many
farmers have not even thought of it:
some have given it considerable study
and attention, and have learned to
know the value Of it, says A. C. Hall
man in an Ontario report.
Not More Land, but Better Farm

lens to solve at the present time. and
especially the young farmer or begin

ing. Our produce from the exhausted
soil has to compete with the products
OF the new countries with their virgin
soil, and with the West, where the
land is cheap and fertile. We are all
clamoring after more acres, when the
object in many cases should be bet

ing, thereby enriching the soil so
that in some cases double the
amount of crops can be grown
from the same farm. This is worth a
great deal more than additional land.
Among the many things that can help
us are "catch crops" There is no
definite time for sowing them. They
may be sown at any time, or with
other crops in the summer season.
Nor is there any particular kind of
crop. Any crop that is suited to
the particular time of sowing
will be satisfactory. Where the
land is in good heart, clean and
plenty Of vegetable deposit (humus)
clover, mixed with grass, ranks very
high. If the season is favorable it
will give an abundance of fall pas.
ture, and in many cases with the roots
and tops, will put as much back into
the ground as the grain crop takes out
of the land. In nearly all cases the
fertilizing value of the stalks is worth
much more than the seed cost.
