Dog Tried, Convicted and Hanged

William Chambers, the famous Eng.
lish publisher, once related an eXtraor-
binary story of a sheep thief hanged
at PEBBLES and buried at crossroads
with a stake through his body. The
remarkable feature OF the case was
that the thief's dog was tried for lid
ing and abetting in the crime, convict
ed, hanged and buried along with its
master. 1t was proved AT the trial that
the man when out with the animal
used TO indicate to IL some particular
flock of sheep he wanted. After reach
ing home the dog returned to the place,
rounded up the sheep and by devious
ways. ana only after dark. drove them
home. There They were kept for some
days and their owners marks destroy
ed or faxed They We're then grad
ed with others leGitimately purchased
and driven to the English markets.

SOUTH AMERICAN JAGUERS
The Only Animals That VIII Pur-
posely Attack AIiixstors.

The most interesting thing about
crocodiles and allIgators, declares the
author of The Romance Of the Animal
World" is the way they get their food.
This they do mostly and by preference
in tho water, but they have also hab-
1t OF lying in wait upon the mud Of I'iv-
er banks until some animal approaches
sufficiently near to be within their
reach.
Lying sunk in the mud and Of the
color Of mud themselves, they may
well be mistaken for log. A wild pig
or some other animal fond of roofing
In the mud sees the long. shapelcss OBJ
jcct, but Is not disturbed by it as he
roots happily among the reed beds. He
looks up suddenly to find that the log
has moved. Ono end OF it. the longest,
thlnnest end the tail, is gliding away
in curve; but. like an arrow loosed.
1t flies back and meets the body OF the
pig with tremendous sidewlse blow,
and the poor pig falls in heap.
With a sudden swift rush the alliga-
tor is upon him. and selling the body
by the skin which it holds puck cred up
between its front teeth. 1t shakes 1t
furiously. as Il terrier would n rat. and
then half drags. half pushes. It before
it as it crawls through the mud to the
waters edge.
There is only one wild animal, says
the author, that will purposely attack
an alligator. and that is the jaguar Of
South America. The iaguar springs
on tho back Of the alligator and with
all his might tears at the roots of the
reptiles tail. This possibly Is with
the idea of paralyzing that member,
thus rendering it incapable of those
mighty sweeps from side to side which
are more 10 be feared than even the
great armed jaws.
The fear Of both these weapons may
deter the iaguar from cawing the
throat of the saIlrinn. far were he to he
shaken off in the latter struggles he
would be more exposed to either than
II he fell farther hack.
Instances Of the iaguars success In
destroying the alligator are given by
various observers.

tried TO adjust himself TO the new

There is one feature OF an insti-

the matter Of good seed. Minot
should make liberal prizes on all
seeds SO as to bring a]arge num-
Der OF samples Of the different
varieties. Arrangement should
be made whereby the farmers
who have any seed to sell could
advertise the same SO that 9th.
ers who wish to secure the same
could be placed in touch with
those who have any to sell.
Arrangements can be made SO
that the name, address and To-
cation OF the owner is given also
the amount of seed each one has
to dispose Of. By this means all
the good seed can and will be
utilized for seed purposes instead
OF being put on the market for
commercial purposes.
