DOGS KILLED The PAINTERS
Monarchs Of the Jungle No Match for
Flock Of Specially Trained
Domestic Animals. :

An unusual sight was witnessed
in Bbavnagar in the course of some
native sports, says the London Tele-
graph. Specially trained dogs of his
highness the Thakur Saheb we're let
loose on two full grown panthers.
About 5000 people assembled on
the madam to see the event. The
arrival of his highness with the Ma
harani Saheba was the signal to
commence the fight. When the
cages were opened the panthers slow
ly crept out, but finding themselves
hemmed in by such a large mass of
people they skunk back again and
lay apparently watching for a chance
to pounce upon the nearest bystand-
ers.
The dogs, however, on being let
loose, at once attacked the panthers
in a body, speedily overwhelming
and killing them. 1t is said that the
dogs were previously dosed with
some sort of snuff that deadened
their scent.

Careless Methods VIII Reduce sss
Amount Of the Yield.

In the cultivation of any farm sF0N.
do not mutilate the roots. Careless
ness In this regard has caused the loeo
Of more In the way of farm cr0De
than almost any other thing unless Il

tree stands still in its growth after d
has been set out. That Ia because thu
roots have been mutllated and are mAr
king repairs before the gvowth u the
tree can be resumed.
In the cultivation of a field crop,
says the Farmers Review, the result
of destroying a part of the roots iE not
SO obvious, because the roots have not
been mutilated to the same degree
as In the case of the tree. and also
because the crop was growing 50 rap

Yet the speed Of growth counts for
a great deal in the development OF q
crop. and nothing should be done that
will lessen that speed Of development.
A loss Of 8 to 10 per cent may be
caused and the farmer not suspect It,
because he has no standard by which
to Judge It.
Before entering on the cultivation
Of any fast growing crop. the farmer
should make a careful estimate as to
where the roots are likely to be in the
soil and avoid them. To leave the
roots u~ndisturbed is TO leave them in
the very best condition for growing.

Good Time to

Dear Friends
I was very agreeably surprised
when / began to receive clippings
from the Republican accompanied
by rs pieces as l knew nothing
whatever OF the pleasant sur
prise planned for us by some kind
friend at Marshall. We appreci-
ate it very much and thank each
one who have or who may take
part in it.
Seeing there are interested
friends at Marshall 1 thought 1t
might be OF interest to you to
have a definite aim in view in
sending your donations SO will
say that this little plan OF yours
has been set on foot at a most op
perfume time a we have been
worried over 5000 which we
must raise soon in addition to
the regular running expenses Of
the Home and you can help us
very materially by just sending
your donations along according
to the suggestion in the paper. II
the editor Is willing to publish 1t
we will furnish him with a list Of
names of those who respond to
to this appeal together with the
amount OF their donations. All
donations should be sent to Mrs.
Jessie Ames rather than Mrs. "A.
c." as there Is another Mrs. A. c.
Ames here who is not connected
with the Home at all in any way,
so 1 have stopped using my hus-
bands initials and sign my own
name Jessie instead.
If the editor is willing to grant
the space we will tell you in a
brief way the history OF the
founding of the Emmanuel Chill
dren's Home and something OF it's
work up to the present time in
next weeks paper.
We expect to- have some post
card pictures made OF the Home
and will send one to each name
on list OF donors. or course you
will want some perhaps some to
send to your friends also. We
mention it SO as to give
you an opportunity to get your
name on the list in time to re-
ceive one free al a souvenir.
