INSTINCT OF DOGS.

Two gentlemen, travelling tngeth-
er on a train, were discussing gen.
eral topics of the day when the con,
versation tnrned on the wonderful
instinct of dogs. Mr.. N. was relat-
ing to his friend, who was we'll
known detective, the strange dis
like of his dog, a big Scotch Collie,
for the young man who was engag-
ed to his daughter. Said he:
The dog is gentle and affection
ate with everyone else, but from
the moment the young man enters
the house the dog refuses to- leave
the room and will lie near the door
uttering low growls. If the young
man attempts any frolic with my
daughter the dog jumps in between
them, showing his teeth. Though
fond of candy, the dog will refuse
it from the visitor, and we are at a
loss to understand it, for he seems
to be a very fine fellow" "
The detective listened very at
tentively. "Well," he sal d,
"that's interesting. I'd like to
meet that yonng man. l always
have my doubts about either man
or woman whom animals steer shy
of"
Mr.. N. laughed good naturedly
at what he thought his friends
whim. "All right, Rodgers, you
come home with me tonight and
III introduce YOU"
On reaching the house Mr.. N.
presented his friend to the family,
including the Collie, who came for
ward wagging his big fluffy tail,
and licked the detectives handin
the most friendly manner.
Presently the young man was an
nounced. The attitude of the Col
lie changed at once from one of
friendliness and confidence to one
of distrust and unrest.
One glance at the young man,
and the detective rose to 60. Reach
ing the porch, he turned to Mr.. N.
and said: THAT man is a crook of the
worst kind. His picture hangs in
the rogues' gallery in New York
and we have been looking for him
for some time. Sorry to cause your
daughter pain, but it is better for
her to find it out now than become
the wife Of such a man. I'll wait
here and arrest him when he comes
out. She owes her protection and
deliverance to the wonderful in
stinct of theScotch Collie. I'm going
to make him an honorary member
of the detective force and he shall
have a silver collar for rendering
the public such valuable service"

BUILDING OF
GOOD ROADS
Suggestions For the Treatment
Of Rural Highways.
NO PATCHWORK WHATSOEVER
The Work to Be Done In Sections-A
Mile Should Be Carefully Finished In
Its Entirety - How the Roadway
Ought to Be Cared For.

How good roads should be made and
how they Should be cared for is tersely
described iii the Iowa Homestead by
an enthusiast, who says:
In the first place, there should be no
patchwork roadmaking having for its
object only to make one particular spot
passable. Road work should be done
in sections. For instance, mile Of
road should be taken and completed in
it's entirety. Every inch Of it should
be made a good and safe road. ven
ture the assertion that not more than
one mile of road in every ten is safe
or free from some dangerous trap to
cause trouble to careless drivers or
those not given to close observation Of
the roadways. They should be made
so that a child might safely drive over
them.
Beginning. I would establish a rea-
sonable grade so that no steep hills
remain when the work is finished. l
would make over the entire width Of
the road from fence to fence. l would
make the actual roadway Of usual
width, with only rise enough in the
center to shed rain. From the gutter
at the side of this roadway l would
make a smooth and even grade to the
fence line. Then l would compel the
property owners along the road to keep
the roadside well set in grass and to
NOW and care for 1t just as they do
their meadows. No deep, unsightly
and dangerous gullies would be. per-
mitted, and the man who scraped a
lot of grass, weeds, clods and trash
into the center Of the road should at
once be condemned to penal servitude
for life. Capital punishment would be
too good for the one who secured his
plow in the road.
The road worker who plowed up a
stretch of road late in the fall and
left 1t to mellow up until spring
should be banished to roadless S1be-
ria. A plow has no place in any road
that has once been properly made.
The care of a road made according to
my plan would be only that of going
over it occasionally with drag. The
occasion for the use Of the drag, how
ever, should be from the viewpoint OF
the need of the road and not the con-
venience of the operator Of the drag.
No man would be permitted to drive q
drag over a road unless he were a
licensed graduate Of roadmaking
school. A road drag Is Il dangerous
thing (for the road in the hands of a
man who does not have sense enough
to use it.
would build complete and effec-
tive drainage system to take care or
the water that finds its way to the
road-not a guesswork one, but one
planned by q drainage engineer who
knew how.
l would make culverts and bridges
the width Of the road. No small cul-
verts should be built. They invaria-
bly, fill up and remain a damage. A
good, big concrete bridge is the SAFEST
and cheapest that can be made.

That the tendency Of corn to sucker
is due mere to Inherited tendency than
to character of soil was nicely shown
this season in the case Of two Vari-
eties of corn which were planted side
by side on the same soil and at the
same time on thq writer's ranch. One
variety which was home grown was al
mo-. entirely free from the sucker
forming tendency, while the other, an
ireportea peQigreed seed. produced
from two to four suckers for each

SPREAD MANURE IN FALL.
Old Practice Of Keeping Until Spring
GeneraIly Abandoned.

Old Practice Of Keeping Until Spring
Generally Abandoned.
The old method of keeping all the
manure produced upon the farm and
spreading it In the spring Is practced
but little at present. says a CORE
spondent Of the American CuldVator.
There is a time perhaps during the
month Of October when the average
farmer is too busy husking corn and
getting ready for winter to stop to
haul manure out every day or every
few days. But after this rush period
the manure should be hauled out ev-
cry few days and spread broadcast.
This method Is very advantageous
in that it will give the horses exercise
through the winter. 1t does not take
long each day and cuts out the task
of hauling manure continually for two
or three weeks in the busy sEGing sea-
son. BY hauling out as soon as 1t Is
made all danger from heating Is done
away with and the valuable constltu-
ents Of the manure are saved. Niro-
gen, one of the most valuable constit.
uents of manure, Is often lost by heat
ing when in piles.
Carefully conducted experiments at
the Massachusetts experiment station
tend to show there Is no loss In rich
ness when the manure is spread
broadcast in the winter. A. difference
is always noted for the better in this
method over the other way Of waiting
until spring and spreading.
Even though the Jumps of manure
freeze while in the field, 1t has been
shown that this Is just what the ma
nure needs. The action of the wealth
er on the various constituents Is just
what is needed to make the manure
more available as d plant food.
The possibility Of washing Is practlr
cally the only objection against win
ter spreading, but applies only to billy
land. With the exception of these very
sloping lands it Is found advisable to
cart during the winter in practically
all cases. 1t Is beneficial both as a
saving Of time and as benefit to the
coil

Combination Device For Whipping Dirt
Highways Into Shape.
We recently visited model farm,
and one of the most attractive fea-
lures about it was the condition in
which the roads, both on the farm and
the adjacent highway, were kept by
use of the split log drag. This Is q
matter Of real economy, as well as OF
good looks. A visit to another farm
showed a modified device which we
had never seen used elsewhere and
which is the invention Of the owner,
says writer in the Kansas Farmer
1t Is SO effective that drawing Of 1t
Is shown herewith. 1t is really COM
bination of harrow and split log drag.
The harrow teeth are attached In such
a manner that they can be let down
and the implement used as q harrow
only, or the teeth can. be raised and
the implement used as a drag only. II
the teeth are set level with the bottom
of the drag it forms an excellent clod

new PLAN
lSUEVLSED
BY SUPT
Designed TO Make School
Enumeration More
Accurate

Oklahoma City, Nov IG-An en-
tIrely new system of school enumera-
tl0n Throughout tie state. to prevent
the possibility Of padding the enumer
ators returns and insuring an eguit-
able Distribution Of the state school
funds, has been arranged BIZ state
Superintendent r. H. Wilson. and wIil
Be put IN operation when the state
school census Is taken next January.
IN the past there has been no meth
o. Of zscertalning whether school emu
merators called ar every home for the
purpose Of determining how many
children Of school age we're in each
family. and it has always been pos
sible to give a fictitious enumera-
ton If the school census taker was
SO inclined.
The new blanks are put up IN book
form. with one page for each family.
After taking the names Of the child
ren Of the age specified. the enumera-
tor must secure the signature Of their
parents or guardian. and this insures
return from an authoritive source
instead Of allowing the enumerator to
guess. or to use his own recollection
Of the number OF children in a family.
The distribution Of the state school
fund Is based upon the returns Of the
enumerators. and while it is not done
in many instances. it is easy to see
that BY padding returns, an amount
greater than is actually coming to It
may be secured in any particular dis
trict The per capital distribution
last year was about s1.s5. and by ad-
ding few hundred names, the salary
Of an extra teacher might be paid.
In addition to insuring an equitable
distribution Of funds. the plan Super
intendent Wilson has adopted will fur.
nish accurate information as to the
number OF children Of school age in
any particular district, which is re.
quired in Issuing bonds.
The next enumeration in this state
will begin January 15 and continue to
February 1.
