Our Friend the Doc.

Man loves the dog, but how much
more ought he to love it Il he consid-
cred, in the infiexible harmony of the
laws of nature, the sole exception,
which is that love Of a being succeeds
in piercing, in order to draw closer to
us, the partitions. everywhere else i'm
permeable. that separate the species.
We are alone, absolutely alone, on this
chance planet, and amid all the forms
of life that surround us not one. ex-
cepting the dog, has made an alliance
with us. few creatures fear us,
most are unaware of us, and not one
loves u.s. In the world of plants we
have dumb and motionless slaves, but
they serve US in spite of themselves.
They simply endure our laws and our
yoke. They are impotent prisoners,
victims incapable of escaping, but 81
lently rebellious, and as soon as we
lose sight of them they hasten to be-
tray us and return to the former wild
and mischievous liberty. The rose and
the corn had they wings would fly at our
approach, like the birds.-Maeterlinck.

Story of Annie Laurie.

Annie Laurie was real parsonage.
She was born Dec. 16, 1852. the eldest
of the three daughters of Sir Robert
Laurie of Maxwellton, Scotland. She
grew up to be fair and most charm
ing maiden, about whom thronged a
whole company Ct lovers. Among them
was William Douglass of Kirkcud-
bright, a gay and ardent youth. who
is said to have been the hero of an old
Scotch song, willie Was a Wanton
Wag." His devotion to fair Annie
was very real and inspired him to the
composition of a song whose simple
tenderness has rendered his name i'm
mortal He did not wed the maiden.
however; perhaps his waggery annoy
ed her. or a lovers quarrel interviewed,
for she did not marry until she was
twenty-seven years old. and then she
became the wife of James Ferguson
of Craigdarroch. We do not find the
composer of the air of this song men
toned anywhere. but it certainly fur
nishes an instance of undying music
welded to immortal words.-House-
keeper.

TO A YOUNG MAN.

The boy was born in the West Indies
Of mixed Indian, negro and Caucasian
parentage. AS a child he lived in a
hut with matched roof. whose front
door was a piece Of sacking. Plantain,
coarse cassava bread and salt fish were
the daily fare.
At school the boy often went into the
woods to eat his lunch, ashamed Of his
scanty bit
But
Somehow-it seems almost miracle
the boy got the idea that he would
be a physician. He determined to go
to New York city and study medicine.
Hiding as q stowaway In the hold OF
a vessel, he turned up at Panama.
where he was jailed as vagrant-
Which was inauspicious.
On his release from the Jail he Sc
cured a job on barge, washing
clothes for his board. He transferred
from the barge to Pacific liner,
which took him to San Francisco.
Here he went aboard tramp steamer
supposing it would take him to New
York.
Instead. 1t carried him around the
world and back to Panama.
He had money enough to pay his
fare to Colon and there found a
chance to work his passage to New
York, where be arrived with II cents
in his pocket
Eleven cents-plus grit!
After many hardships he went tc
work at So per week. increased in q
few months to $4 He attended night
school, where, at the close of the term
he won a prize, which made friends
for him.

lege. He gradually won his way III

Sheep Are Easily Handled.

Sheep, if treated kindly, are easier
handled and more easily trained than
either horses, cattle or hogs. With
just little effort one can teach them
to drive or to follow from lot to pas
ture, and the reverse.
Every farmer should have small
flock, for the purpose of utilizing the
waste about his place, cleaning his
fence row of weeds and bushes, and
enriching the soil. And when you
consider the two sources of profit
the sale of wool and the sale of
lambs at today's prices-it is clear
that within a few years on most
every farm there will be found a
bunch of sheep.

TIMELY HINTS
J. FOR FARMERS
Fattening Chickens Quickly.

Many pouItrymen have occasion TO
fatten their chickens quickly in order
to get them in the markets and get
advantage of the rise in price. Ground
oats and barley meal mixed with
cracklings of some kind make an eN-
cellent fattening food
Place the food before the birds at
regular intervals, as often as they de
sire it, but as soon as they have par
taken of it literally and appear to
have enough remove the trough and
do not give them any more until the
next interval. They must not be al
lowed to eat and mess in their food
all day long. Keeping the birds with
out their food for a few hours and
then giving them a liberal amount of
ten induce them to eat more than if
fed too often.

BUILDING UP A
GOOD DAIRY HERD
First 1t Is Necessary to Danish
NOnpTOdueers.

To start in the dairy business we
ducers from our herds, keeping only
those whose annual product will net
a profit, writes R. P. Kester in Farm
and Fireside, then, being guided by
the kind of cows in demand in that
locality, whether desired for milk or
for butter or cheese, procure the best
sire of that breed money can buy and
begin a system of building up a dairy
herd Of grade cows. Select the sire
upon the producing record of his ma
ternal ancestors. By purchasing
pure bred heifer or two at one time
a start in small way can be made in
animals for registry. One thing should
be kept in mind-if the cows retained
after the wedding out process are
grades of any particular breed sire
of that breed should be used. Cross
ing breeds with the idea of combining
the good qualities of both always re-
suits in disappointment.
The calf must be fed from the start
in such way that the dairy COW quail
tiles will be developed. Wrong feed
ing may produce beefy qualities in the
best bred dairy calf. 1t should have
the first milk of the mother, and her
milk only for a few days at least.
Whole milk should be fed for the first
two or three weeks. gradually substi-
tuting skimmilk after that. Don't feed
too much. Overlooking causes indi-
gestion and diarrhea. "a pint of milk
to ten pounds of calf" is variable
rule. Watch the calf. 1t will soon
begin to nibble a little hay, but let il
be very little at first. A little whole
oats-just pinch-may be put in its
bucket after drinking when about six
weeks old. Increase the oats gradu
ally, adding little wheat bran or oil
meal later Still later add a few
grains of whole corn. By following
out this systele. feeding regularly, you
viii have a good cow, provided she has
the inherited qualities.

can recline in an invalid's chair and
