THE Dogs COLD NOSE.

When Noah, pArc living twas time to embark,
Desired the creatures to enter the ark,
The dog with friendliness truly sublime
Assisted in herding them. Two at time
He drove In the elephants, zebras and gnus
Until they were pa cked like a boxful of screws
The cat In the cupboard, the mouse on the shelf,
Tho bug in the crack-then he backed in himself
But such was the lack of available space
He couldn't tuck all of him into the pl ce,
Aud go, though the river rushed over the plain
And down from the heavons fell blankets Of rain,
He stood with his muzzle thrust out through the
door
The whole for days cf that terrible pour!
Because of which drenching, the sages unfold,
The nose of healthy dog always is cold.

If we remain in the office, we ought to

The Art Exhibit has come and gone
and we feel that the people OF Elk
Point are better for its having
been In our midst. We can not look
on things beautiful without arousing
our better natures, and developing the
best within us. This exhibition has
been an education in itself 1t was
truly pleasure to see how much the
children, even the small ones, enjoyed
it. We overheard one little fellow
say, Teacher said we must look for
the old man in this picture. See his
face back there in the dark" When
our little folks are taught to look for
the strong points OF picture like that
we surely know they are being taught
to love the good, the beautiful and the
true. Prof. Wood burn spoke briefly
the opening night on the object Of the
Exhibit. Rev. It. ]. Woodeoek spoke
on the comparative value Of good and
bad art The second night the pro-
gram was given by the pupils Of the
first and second rooms. Tue efforts OF
the little people are always apprectat-
ed and they certainly acquitted them
selves remarkably we'll. Friday night
the weather was so inclemsnt, that it
was thought best to repeat the pro.
gram OF that evening Saturday
That the previous programs had all
proved successful, the immense crowd
gathered to listen to the closing ex-
ercises bore testimony. The following
excellent numbers we're rendered.

NATURAL INCUBATION.
The Management OF sitting Hens.
Their Feed and Care.


Matching eggs under hens Is a much
simpler matter than artificial incnba-
ton, writes J. ID. Mason In Reliable
Poultry Journal. In some experiments
we made in Matching out White Leg
horn eggs under mongrel hens we got
the best results from hens fed on corn
while sitting, corn being the greatest
heat producing food.
Hens should not have eggs put under
them until they have remained on the
nest for day or so. If they do not
leave the nest for the roost at night it
is safe to put eggs under them. Our
hens, which were set In the henhouses,
did not do so well as those set where
they were undisturbed by the laying
hens. Ii IL II necessary to move the
hen she win generally accept the new
nest provided the change Ii made at
night Dark nests give the best re-
suits, and they should be well filled
with straw or dried grass.
From twelve to fifteen eggs are put
under hen, depending on the size OF
the hen. IN cold weather II Ii best To
put the fewer number Of eggs, while
late in the spring as many as seventeen
can be put under her. IT Is just as
necessary to select the eggs and use
only we'll shaped eggs for sitting under
hens as Tor the artificial method OF
Matching, In warm weather, when the
chicks are liable TO dry ia the shell, IL
Is great help to thoroughly sprinkle
the eggs. There need be no fear of
chilling, for the heat Of the hen win
quickly bring them back to the proper
temperature. liz two or more hens are
set at the same time 1t Is advisable to
give one of the hens both lots of chick
ems TO mother and reset the other.
Before starting our hatchers we thor
oughly fumigate our houses by burning
sulphur candles in them, and az an ex.
ira precaution we sprinkle both hen
and nest with lice powder. Lice win
lower a hens vitality, reducing her
heat and causing In this way poor
matches.
Hens are inactive while sitting and
therefore require less food than other
wise. It Is not necessary to feed them
on the nest. Have food and water &C
cessible, but let their appetite be the
Judge Of when and how much to eat.
As far as possible let them be undis-
turbed while sitting.

a Promtnent Motorist-Poor ones .
Big Handicap.
Did YOU ever consider what handl.
cap 1t is to state to have poor roads r.
That question was asked by promi-
nent motorist the other day, says the
New York American and Journal. He
had been touring all summer through
New England and had had a chance to
get an idea Of where the best roads for
motoring were located. His remarks
on the subject are worth serious con
Grafton not alone by automobilists, but
by Legislators as well.
TN Massachusetts, there is a system
OF roads that IL not surpassed in Amer.
lea" he said, "and that state gets the
benefit from the fine highways IN more
ways than one. 1t Is a paying invest
ment. Any person who has ever travel
ed through the state In a motor car
finds the riding SO comfortable that he
wishes to repeat the trip.
Not only tllat, but he proIongs his
stay in the state to take advantage of
the fine driving. Ordinarily accom-.
panied by two or three others, this
means an expenditure for living ex-
penses that brings money into places
in the state where before there was no
such revenue.
No one city has monopoly on this,
for many Of the smaller towns have
had strangers within their portals who
never would have been seen there but
for the roads that led them whittier
they did not care When they have lost
the way in going from one city to an
other instead OF displeasure at making

presented themselves here and there,
coupled with the we'll kept roads, add

make trip to see what the places are
like. We see them, TO be sure. but the
discomforts experienced In making the
Journey often take away much Of the
pleasure that otherwise might have
been enjoyed.
"lf Newhampshire for instance, had
system OF roads anywhere near like
that Of Massachusetts what paradise
1t would be for the motorists! Some
day the situation may be realized by
the people OF that state and something
done to help the matter, but 1t looks
as If it were n long way Off.
"For example, there are roads IN the
northern part Of the state where the
scenery Is simply magnificent that
could be put In fair shape for few
dollars. ! know Of places where the
expenditure Of couple of dollars a
day by a town to fill up holes and level
roads would In week or two make
the highways 80 per cent better.
"At present they are abominabie In
some places. When you find you have
to run a car at six or seven miles and
at times slow down to the point that
Just divides between actually stopping
and barely moving because Of gullies
and holes, when the road il perfectly
level, too, for some miles, then some
idea OF the discomforts OF motoring
thereabouts may be CLEANED"
The writer within a few weeks trav-
eIed over a number Of such roads and
found the conditions were not at all ex-
aggerated. 1t did seem like practieed
negligence to allow the highways to re-
main in that shape. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that every town should set
about making the roads within its
boundaries as hard and smooth as a
racing track, vet no valid reason ex-
lists for letting them grow worse each
week, for in the end, when repairs are
imperative, the cost is all the greater.
And what is true of one state is appli-
cable to others, Massachusetts, except
