Dog Pays own License.

Max, a black-and-tan dog owned by
Charles C. Fitzhugh, a Flint pharma-
cist, has come through with a dollar
to pay his annual license and thus in
sure safety from the city dog catcher
for another year. And Max earned
all this money himself. In the rear
of the store where his owner works
Max, who is q trick dog, has box
half filled with excelsior, in which he
hides pennies and nickels earned by
doing tricks. When a customer comes
into the store the dog starts his roper
tory of stunts, plays dead, walks lame,
says his prayers, talks" to the best
of his ability, walks erect on his front
legs and then on his hind legs, sits up
and does numerous other tricks for
the entertainment of visitors. The
majority of the patrons of the store
know the dog and always when he
has finished his act he is given a pen
ny or a scent piece, which he hides
in his box. When the animals owner
decided that the license should be
paid he sent the dog back to the box
time after time until the canine had
brought to him a dollar in pennies
and nickels, and, placing the cash in
an envelope, the owner started for the
Office of the city clerk, the dog carry
ing the envelope in his mouth. When
ever the dog wants piece of candy
from the showcase he gets the money
from his box, tramps up to where his
master is and exchanges it for choco-
a.

Some Alfalfa POinters.

Alfalfa grows best on deep, sandy
loan, underlaid by loose and perme-
able subsoil.
1t will not grow IL there is an ex-
cess of water in the soil. The land
must be we'll drained. Plow the land
deeply-alfalfa is a deep feeder.
Sow alone and screen seed before
using to separate the dodder and other
weed seeds. Dodder is the worst
enemy of alfalfa.
For a hay crop SOW 20 to 80 pounds
of seed per acre For a crop of seed
SOW II to IS pounds per acre.
Alfalfa does not attain maturity I'M
til the third or fourth year, so do not
SOW it expecting to get the best re-
suits in less time. Keep the weeds
moved and raked off the first season,
or they will choke out the crop.
Cut the hay when the first flowers
appear. If cut in full bloom the hay
will be woody. For seed cut when the
middle clusters of the seed pods are
dark brown.
Whether or not alfalfa is hardy,
profitable crop in the Northern States
has not been fully demonstrated, but
in some instances it has been grown
successfully even in Canada.-Lexing-

ingman, but his popularity, according
to the course of nature, brought its
penalties. He was besieged by all sorts
of people, who came merely TO ask
questions, and sometimes they were
questions of the most trivial sort.
He was originally a doctor and used
to give advice for nothing st certain
hours of the day. One morning a
workingman entered his room. and
Clemenceau said without looking up
from his writing:
Take off your coat and shirt. I'll
attend to you directly"
Three minutes later he found the
man had stripped to the waist.

made an examination.

The .Io.t Cnuse.v

II Is interesting TO trace the origin
and hear the story of some phrase that
has become most popular, though those
who use it may not have even re-
mote idea of how it originated. Take,
for instance, The Lost Cause" now
most familiar and used as well by
the people of the South as well as OF
the North. 1t originated in this way:
The late Edward A. Pollard-one of
Virginia's prominent literary men
after the war wrote history
of it, OF course from the South
ern standpoint He wrote before
his death, in an article in Apple
tons Magazine that he offered his pro
posed history to a New York publish.

The work thus entitled might be con
cries of the war which the writer had
already composed, mere annals-"First
year of the War;" etc. Gould not
some title be found more unique and
captivating, and not quite so heavy?"
The writer promised to think of such
a title. The next day he presented
himself TO the publisher and said:

South were persuaded that we really

think there is something of proper
dignity in the word Cause; then The
Lost Cause is an advertisement of
something valuable that is gone; be
sides, the associations of the title are
tender and reverential-there is
strain of mourning in it. How do you
like it?" "Excellently WE'LL" replied
the publisher; it is just the thing"
The title proved an instant success,
and the phrase has since become ma

Grinding Corn for Hogs.

Authorities disagree as to the ad-
visibility of grinding the corn for
hogs, some feeders claiming that it
does not pay for the cost and trouble
of grinding, while others think that
1t does pay well.
Ny experience is that some hogs will
chew corn well, while others will not
break half the grains. Usually young
hog will chew its food better than
an old one. l fattened a hog last
year on dry corn, but not cne-half of
the grains were broken.
Where a hog will not chew its feed
we'll l think it will pay to grind its
feed.
Hogs will not chew wheat well, and
no hog will chew buckwheat we'll, so
these grains should always be ground
before feeding to hogs.
If corn is shelled and scattered on
floor or on the ground, so that the
hogs will have to pick up one grain
at a time, they will chew it better
than when whole ears are thrown to
them.-A. j. Legg.

Work of EarthwOrm

1t is said that Darwin spent thirty
years of his life in studying the earth
worm. He found it blind, deaf and
dumb He discovered that while it
lives in the cold, dark earth 1t knows
how, better than man, to pillow the
ground so that all the green things
can grow. 1t helps huge trees by
blowing the ground, turning it over
and loosening it up so that light and
air and sunshine and rain can get into
it. These earthworms cast up piles
of earth, and the longer they work the
thicker the layers grow, until they
form a vegetable mold. Nearly every
bit of this vegetable mold has been
through the bodies of these worms,
and the soil where this mold is found
is finer, darker and richer. 1t is finer
because it has been ground up by the
little stones in the worms gizzard. It
is darker and richer for having been
mixed with juices and dead leaves in
the worms body
