an old mower. The upper end of the
chute is provided with two strong
iron hooks which are sharpened so as
to engage the bottom of the wagon
bed and prevent slipping after the ami
NAL starts upward With such an ar
rangement, there is no difficulty in
building a chute of ample strength be-
cause the question of weight has rela-
lively little Importance. The chute
can be hooked on behind the wagon
and hauled to any part of the farm,

to put it in position by hand.

TRAINING DOG COPS
How BerIin'S Canine Police Ara
Taught Their Duty.
Clever Four-Legged Detectives Display
Remarkable intelligence in the
Running Down of VioIators
of the Law.

Berlin.-Good detectives are rare
a police administration conducted with
due regard to economy could scarcely
afford to employ veritable Sherlock
Holmes if he could be found. Ordi-
nary detectives and policemen, on the
other hand, cannot cope successfully
with the highly developed and refined
methods of the modern criminal The
police authorities, confronted with this
dilemma, have lately employed, to a
limited extent, an auxiliary possessed
of instincts which take the place of de-
tective genius. This auxiliary is the
police dog, which, in Berlin at least, is
giving almost daily proof of it's fitness
for detective and police work. The
training ard practise Of these four
legged guardians of the peace are
most interesting to witness.

man sheep dog breed. We took seats
and the drill commenced. The dogs
were required to give tongue at a sig

tions, until the trainer, moving away
from them, summoned them by a call
or whistle. Even when running at

lay down at the word of command. All

Discovered the "CriminaI" and Sprane
Upon Him.

next test Of obedience was the refusal
of food. A dog was chained to a tree
and ordered to guard some object,
such as a bunch of keys When | eau
tiously fished for the treasure with my
cane the dog rushed at me savagely,
Juggling at his chain, growing and
crashing his teeth. An appetizing bit
of sausage that | had offered to dis
tract the animals attention was re-
gretfully shifted at and then con-
temptuOusly ignored. The experiment
was repeated with all the dogs with
the same result. Track, the champion
of the corps and the winner of many
prizes, did not even turn his nose
toward the sausage.
One of the officers then beckoned to
Crete and directed her, by gesture,
to search for something hidden in a
clump of bushes at the back of the
garden. Crete followed the indicated
direction and soon returned with a
two-mark piece in her mouth
After witnessing these specimens of
school work we went out into the open
fields to see the dogs track and arrest
supposed criminals. A crowd of curl
GUS onlookers had already collected.
A young man, who subsequently
proved an uncommonly tame and
stupid malefactor, was enveloped in a
heavy, padded leather coat, which
showed the marks of numerous dog
bites, and directed to lay a trail by
walking across meadow and then to
conceal himself. Several other trails
had been previously laid across the,
same field. A striking exhibition was
then witnessed. Track and another
dog followed all of the trails, bringing
back a handkerchief from one of them
and finally traced and discovered the
criminal and sprang upon him, but re-
leased him instantly at their masters
command. The sight made me shud-
der These wise and faithful animals
could become savage and ravenous
beasts when duty demanded. They al
ways seize their victim by the throat
or the wrist, and wild pistol shot
only redoubles their zeal and ferocity.
The poor fellow who impersonated the
criminal was bathed in sweat, which
was not due solely to his leather coa,.
The exhibition closed with an
aquatic performance in the neighbor-

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR SHEEP
Nothing Will Build Up Run Down
Farm as Quickly and CheapIy as
Good Flock of Sturdy Animals.
CBy PROF. r. j. KUISER.)


Money invested in sheep will near
ly double itself in one year, since the
fleece will pay for the feed and care
of the sheep, and the lambs, often
two per eve, are the profit.
1t is estimated that ten sheep can
be kept where one COW can, and the
risk is much less. 1t may be said that
the sheep always carries her pocket
book with her
If she dies, her pelt or fleece pays
her funeral expenses. If she lives, her
wool in the spring and her lambs in
the fall pay double revenue. No 9th
er stock pays as large percentage of
clear profit on the money invested
In years past complaint has been
made that the industry could not be
made profitable because of the losses
from dogs and coyotes, but statistics
show that losses from this source last
year were less than a half of one per
cent.
Nothing will build up run down

32FT
Litter Carrier System.

In 1907 this old silo became unsatis-
factory and practically worn out. The
roof was raised, making it 81 feet
high, and an up-to-date stave silo IA
by 30 feet put inside the old one.
This leaves the new silo entirely pro-
tected from the weather.
Some five years ago it became de-
sirable to convert the sheep barn into
COW stable when a gambrel roof was
put on and the present arrangement
made with the exception Of the ma
nure shed and litter car. Then fol-
lowed the building of the manure shed
and the putting in of the litter-car
equipment in the stable and shed as
we'll as out into the barnyard, and
here is the first noteworthy feature of
the system This track is supported
not in the usual way, by planting
posts in the yard and using cross oars
from which the track is hung, but
by rods and wires fastened to the
barn, suspending and bracing it from
above. The ease with which the cow
stable can be cleaned and the manure
put direct in the spreader is here
shown. In bad weather the shed is
made use and the manure removed
from there when time permits
Altogether it makes a very cheap,
simple, and almost perfect system, as
all the manure can be handled and
placed just where desired with a mini
>um amount of labor.
