The strawride is comparatively a
new invention, and like many modern
customs is a detriment to our young
people. When we see young ladies and
young men packed in wagons as tight
as sardines in a tin box we wonder
what the parents mean who permit
their daughters to experience this too
close contact with the opposite sex.
So far as we are concerned, we would
just as soon have a daughter sit in a
young mans lap as to have them pack
ed into a wagon as they are in the de-
lightful modern strawrides.-Fort

American AgrIcultlrIsts Have Not sui:
flcientIy Appreciated Their Wtds
Usefulness, Though Il u Rec
oonlxed In Europe.

In England and Scotland farmer,
learned long ago the value Of dogs
/ to farm work. There the universal Gus.
tom Is to have dogs daily do their
part the same as trusty hired men.
Here ia America. however. few farm.
ers know the value Of well-trained
dog. We are the losers because OF
this fact. We will learn, Of course
In years to come; and working dogs
that are a daily help will replace the
countless farm help insists now i'm.
posing on the farmers generosity.
It once happened that the owner OF
some sheep dogs worked them back
and forth among focks Of sheep at
the same place where many farmers
were assembled in convention. The
farmers witnessed the work the dogs
were doing as the sheep were moved
from barns to pasture, through pens,
gates and lanes. They were amazed
to find them SO helpful and wondered
at their intelligence. They saw them
go quietly around the edges of pas
ture and gather in the sheep from
far away, while the owner waited at
the gate. They saw them herd the
sheep along the lanes, doing work two
men could not have done. And they
profited by what they saw.
They began to believe that the use.
full dog will eventually be on most
American farms, when we get to
studying more carefully for ways and
means to save work and expense. It
may be on some large estates many
different men are employed, thereby
leaving little opportunity for anyone
to train a dog. But on the average
farm this is not the case.
Any farmer tired from a hard days
toll would praise the faithful dog that
would go the mile or two into the
pasture to bring in the cows while he
prepared the feed for them.
No reference is made to the dog we
find on many farms that knows only
enough to run and snap at stock,
driving them in whatever direction
they care to go. Such dog is OF
little value, for he drives the stock
away as often as he brings them back
to the pen they have left. Such q dog
might have developed into a good one.
It was the fault of the master that he
was never trained. Let no man for
get how important it is to have his
dog well trained and carefully edu-
Gated to do his bidding. The green
unframed dog is like the unbroken colt
or the new hired man. Neither Is
good as real helper until taught tc
do as you wish him to do.-Farm and
Eireside.

BLASTING at the Canal.

In the last five years the operations
on the Panama canal have required
40, OS2,S50 pounds Of dynamite for
blasting, or an average of 8,016,570
pounds per year. The estimates for
the year ending June 80, 1912, are s..
$50, 0o0 and for the IL months follow
ing only 3,9S6.50O. The comparatively
small amount for the latter IS due to
he approaching comr-etion OF the ex.
cavation work. which will make the
fetal Of dynamite used over $4,000, 00o
sounds. Reckoned by tons. that VIII
Sc $4,000 tons, which sounds bigger
Or smaller according to the mind OF
he person reading it.
For the coming fiscal year the esti-
mated need of other materials for
blasting IS $4,000 blasting caps, 1870
pounds Of insulated tape. 10000 feet
81 connecting wire, $4,000 feet OF
lead wire, 627,700 feet Of electric
fuses, $4,000 feet Of trirIe tape fuse.

FEW OLD ENGLISH PASTlMEs
Trucking the Trencher Is Played by
Children Sitting or kneeling
on Floor In Ring.

Trucking the trencher-this Is an
old English game. The children sit
on the floor or kneel In a ring. A
person in the center holds the trench
er Ca pie tin will serve) and when
all are ready he truckles, or spins
1t, at the same time calling the name
of some one in the ring. The one
named must spring quickly and try to
catch the plate between both hands
before it stops spinning. If he sue
ceeds, he takes the place in the cen.
ter, and the first trucker goes In
the ring. II he does not catch the
plate between both hands before II
stops spinning he pays forfeit and
Is counted out.
Then there Is the play of 'Twos
and threes." The company Is grouped
in twos and threes, usually only one
odd one, and the fun consists In not
being caught as the third. This keeps
each child looking over her shoulder
for when two are behind the fore
most must slip away and find another
place to be tapped.
After stand-up game, rather
funny game, where all the company
may sit, Is to have one person chosen
to call and the rest to repeat: One
good fat hen: two ducks; three plump
cartridges; four sQuawking wild
geese; i've felicitous oysters: SIX
pairs Of Roman-striped hose; seven
| thousand Spanish soldiers; eight
cages Of Heliogabulus paroquets; nine
sympathetic, apathetic. didactic, prop
ositions; eleven superstitious astrono
mers viewing Venus in Venice; twelve
European dancing masters teaching
Egyptian mummies to dance at Her
cules' wedding. II any one laughs
in the course Of this he must pay q
forfeit. The one who repeats most
smoothly and solemn1y must be the
caller out and begin gibberish over
again.

"a well-known Illinois politician
