Origin OF Dog Names.

Origin OF Dog Names.
Spaniels were so called because the
original breed of this type came from
Spain. The Blenheim spaniel got his
name from Blenheim Palace. where
this dog first gained popularity In the
time Of the great Duke of Marlbor-
ough- In the same way the King
Charles spaniel owes It's name to the
merry monarch. Fox terriers did not
gain their name from likeness to
the fox. but from the fact that for
merly they were used in hunting foxes.
Many years ago they were sent by
their masters down the foxs burrow
to draw and kill their quarry. 1t was
IN those days saying that a good
FOX terrier never came out of a bur
row without the fox. He either
brought out his prey dead or never
came out alive himself.
The bulldog used to drive cattle and
was trained to meet the rushes of his
enormous charges by gripping them
in their tenderest spot-the nose. Thus
In time he became known as the bull
dog. The dachshund is a German
dog. and, as his name indicates when
translated, was used for hunting
badgers. Hence his name-badger
dog. Among hunters in the fatherland
this breed is still popular, although
as a rule they are now too delicate to
face such a ferocious fighter as the
badger.
Spite dogs are so named owing to
their sharp nose. This is also Ger
man name, spitz meaning sharp point.
ed. Another name for this breed is
Dalmatian dog, because his native
home was in Chicago

sizes OF Eggs.

The farmer who sells his eggs at the
store will not for the present receive
much encouragement in his efforts to
sort out his largest eggs and sell sep
arately from the smaller eggs. Deal
ers have not yet gotten to the point
where they will pay a higher price for
large eggs than for the smaller ones.
The time will come, however, when
eggs will be sold by weight. Then the
man who produces large eggs will get
his reward. But the general improve
ment In the grade of poultry for egg
production will result in higher prices,
In the section of the country where
scrub poultry is maintained, egg prices
are lower than In localities where high
grade poultry is kept. A general OBJ
servance OF care in gathering eggs.
resulting in fewer rots and spots, will
raise the average price. An egg dealer
a few days ago advised that southern
Kansas and Oklahoma eggs sell for
less than northern Kansas and Ne
braska eggs The reason is because.
on account of the warmer climate,
the eggs are poorer in quality; but
in the same breath the dealer said
this could be overcome by prompt and
careful gathering and earlier market
Ing
Just little more attention to the
details will advance the price of every
dozen OF eggs produced in warm eli
mates or cents per dozen during
the summer months. Another thing
which results in low egg prices is the
marketing Of dirty eggs. During wet
and muddy spells farm eggs are al
ways dirty and are sold In the same
condition as when gathered, resulting
in lower selling price. A little care
along this line will increase the profits.

All women seem alike in their love
of sensation. They must have some
picturesque element in their lives; and
if nature declines to supply it, they
invoke the aid of art.
Numbers of men are quite content
to plod on in the same rut. Day after
day they can see the same people, go
to the same places. do the same things
without a grumble. No woman is like
this. She yearns to be enthusiastic,
to be deeply moved, to discover mys-
teries even when there are none. While
man falls in love because he cant
help it, a woman very often begins to
do so mainly out of inquisitiveness
to know what it feels like
Probably woman, with her greater
eagerness and curiosity, supplies a
wholesome stimulus to the less i'm
questionable brain of man. She sug-
gests, and he carries out the ideas
which she would never have the pa;i-
ence to execute for herself, for his
special virtues are perseverance and
concentration, and an irritating habit
of sticking to thing impossible to the
more superficial sex.

why HAY Is Grnaed Low.

4
The rules of the National Hay Asso-
citation recognizes twenty-three grades
of hay, which seem to fall into five
classes: Timothy clover. mixed tim
othy and clover wild grasses and al
falfa Choice timothy hay must be
sound, properly cured of bright nat
ural color, not mixed with more than
one-twentieth of other grasses, and
y i baled. Lower grades of timothy
are Nos. /, 2 and 8. and mo grade"
Glover hay has two grades. No. and
No 2. No. 1 clover must be medium
clover, sound. properly cured. not
mixed with more than one-twentieth
OF other grasses and well baled Choice
alfalfa hay must be reasonably fine
leafy alfalfa of bright green color,
baled. Other grades OF alfalfa are Nos.
/, and 8, and mo grade" These
rules are used by most cities that have
official inspection.
A large percentage of the timothy
on the market Is graded below No. l.
The reasons are that many meadows
are cut for years, until they become
weedy and mixed with other grasses,
and that the hay Is often cut too late,
so that 1t loses the bright natural
color and palatabillty. IF the farmer
would send to market nothing but
what the feeder considers good he
would get higher price. II might
be necessary in some cases to educate
the country buyer also.
Timothy has the lead, especially
among city feeders, because II ID not
only nutritious but palatable and non
laxative. and the horse Is not likely
to overload. Nevertheless. other kinds
Of hay would often prove better for
the feeder Alfalfa. for instance, has
high muscle-building qualities and is
especially valuable for draft horses.
1t is highly relished. however. and
the horse may overload.
Meantime the farmer Is Obliged to
include clover and other legumes to
his rotation in order to maintain the
fertility Of his land. In regard to good
rotations the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture is glad to give
advice.
In any case. the farmer who sells
hay should seek to produce the high

CHAPTER Xxx.

One morning while Rupert was read
ing the newspaper. at breakfast time.
Agatha saw his face suddenly change:
he turned pale and the newspaper fell
out of his hand TO the ground. Pres
emily he hastily guiped down his cof-
fee. and making some trifiing excuse,
he left the room and went along the
marrow passage to his little study.
shutting the door behind him.
Agatha rose from her place. and
went and picked up the newspaper. A
sure instinct, the instinct OF unhappy
love. told her tina. there must be some
thing more than usually upsetting to
Rupert's peace of mind In the columns
OF the newspaper. She was not long
in finding out what it was.
"A marriage is arranged and will
shortly take place between Joseph
Taunton, Esq. and Irene. only child OF
the late Frederick Garland" she read.
The words seemed TO be printed In
letters OF gold before her eyes. II was
respite for her; for il Miss Garland
were married. then indeed Rupert
would be divided from her forever.
Even IL were to die. il would do him
no good. 1t would bring him no nearer
TO her," she thought with exultation.
For the first few moments she expe-
rienced only sense OF keen and rap
tarous JOY. But soon reaction SET
in. and she began 10 torment herself
anew. What was he doing now in his
study? Was he heartbroken at the
newss Was he filed. as she was. with
jealous misery Had he fed from the
room to eide his anguish from his
wifc's eyes? The thought was torture
to her. She went outside the dining
room door.
Miss Carroll. who managed all the
house, keeping. was downstairs in the
kitchen ordering dinner. As Agatha
stood there, hesitating and wondering,
hardly daring to follow Ter husband in
to his room. yet longing to know what
the effect OF this news was upon him.
suddenly the closed door opened. and
he came out When he saw his wife
standing there. he called. out to her;

Importance of Irrigation.

Rivers are always the nurses Of the
earliest civilization, and in this re-
spect the Tigris and Euphrates are
rivals of the Nile, for Babylonia, like
Egypt, was rivers gift" The
Mesopotamian Valley is intersected,
gridiron fashion, by huge canals-not
dug out, but built upon the earth's
surface, crossing the plain from river
to river and seeming to the traveller
like ranges behind ranges of curiously
regulated hills. From these. lesser
canals branched in all directions and
gave birth In turn to others still
smaller, until at last the final threads
carried the life-giving water to every
grove and garden and individual palm.
A system of irrigation so mechanically
perfect and on so vast a scale was
never elsewhere seen. All the wealth
and splendor and power of the ancient
Babylonian and Assyrian empires we're
founded on this system. They issued
from and were dependent on 1t. The
prosperity of the country hung on its
water supply as absolutely as the ex-
istence of a Saharan oasis hangs on
its we'll A harm done to the irriga-
ton system was felt through all the
civilization 1t nourished.
1t was so the Mesopotamian civiliza-
ton died. The complicated irrigation
works which watered the country re-
quired for their upkeep the superin-
tending care of multitudes of trained
laborers and expert engineers. Only
knowledge and ski! aud large re-
sources could deal with and maintain
the immense canals and sluices and
dams and locks which distributed the
river water over the land which COM
posed a machinery as elaborate as
clocks, though of water works. not
metal works. The hand OF steady
and strong government was needed to
wind that machinery up and keep it
going. and there came a time when
that hand was withdrawn. London

The Worlds Timber.

Prof Somerville's paper before the
British Association on the timber sup
ply shows that the world Is steadily
approaching a timber famine. Already
Britain pays each year 27,000.000
sterling for wood; Germany, with
nearly twelve times the area of forest
possessed by Britain, annually pays
100000 sterling for imported tim
Der. and although the United States
of America exports wood and wood
products to the value of 20,000,000
sterling per annum, she has to pay
as much for imports. In Europe.
Sweden and Russia are, of course, the
chief timber exporting countries, but
in both cases the vast inroads on
supplies is seriously felt, and exports
are being appreciably reduced. There
are. of course, Canada and Siberia,
but in Canada, at all events, wood is
being used up at rapid rate.
Cleaning the Poultry House.
Are you still back number in al
lowing the poultry house TO get filthy
and dirty, foul-smelling nesting mate
rial, infested with lice and mites? Or
have you become progressive, and by
actual trial have found out how we'll
1t pays to keep everything neat and
clean and in a strictly sanitary con-
dition?
BY this time you certainly have the
farm work well in hand, and can
spare few hours time for giving the
poultry house and yard a thorough
cleaning and overhauling. u the quar-
tiers are allowed to become filthy and
infested with vermin. as well as the
fowls themselves, things will soon go
to the bad, and the hens will take on
that pale languid appearance, which
will surely terminate in disaster II
neglected.
Clean out not only all the drop
pings, but also all the old straw and
litter in the house, cleaning out the
nests, spraying them and the roosts
with coal oil to kill mites. In fact.
the entire aim should be to do every
thing In as thorough and painstaking
manner as possible. Give the inside
walls good coat of whitewash, which
both makes the house lighter and kills
vermin. If the floor is given a good
coating Of dry lime, 1t will serve to
give the entire interior a pleasant,
healthy odor. This also has bene-
fetal effect in killing disease germs,
and is especially valuable in case Of
disease. when it should be used around
in the yards as well as in the house
