notes Of protest and Indignation because
the administration has taken, upon itself
to put suspended members into good

1T needs but q moments reflection to
show the injustice Of this to those MEM

kept up the payment Of their assessments.
This last act is Of piece with the pay
ment of bonuses to local clerks who
change benefit certificates from the old

tration has no right to so squander their
hard earned money and they view with
amazement the payment of over $4,000

Wherever there are dogs and sheep
together there is constant danger that
the latter will at some time suffer.
Sheep are so constructed that even
worrying by dogs seems TO shock their
nervous systems to such an extent
that they seldom prove probable. In
most states there are laws against
depreciation by dogs, but because of
their construction many Of them are
dead letters, writes G. w. Franklin, in
the Country Gentleman.
have long since ceased to look
to the law for any loss sustained in
depredations by dogs. | take the
privilege OF protecting my sheep in
my own way. My first precaution was
TO provide plenty of belis--as many as
one to every six or ten animals.
When the sheep were unduly excited
the bells made such a noise that they
would frighten some dogs, and would
at least arouse sleepers to look after
the flock Finding that this did not
work satisfactorily, however, hung
lanterns out near the sheep-yard, but
the dogs became so bold they paid no
attention to the lights or to the noises.

Some of the worst dogs l have ever

HOW TO MAKE
OLD FARM PAY
Stop Starving and Go to Feeding
All Cultivated Land II
Amount Ia Only
Five Acres.

1t is a commentary on Americ an
agriculture that Ia certain sections
there are farms Of 100 or more acres
than can be bought for less than tho
first cost of the buildings, and IN
some cases for less than the policy I'M
surance companies have placed on 81 ID
buildings.
The old farm doesn't pay.
Its fores,s have been destroyed. yts
soil has been titled, and titled till 1t
would bear tillage no longer and ma,
ture went out on one of her inevitable
strikes.
Can the old farm be made to pay?
1t certainly can not, by the old
methods.
The old owner may remain, but the
old farming must stop.
Here are some suggestions. Put &C
acres of the 100 to growing trees.
These may be forest trees or in
part an apple orchard.
II the farm has any smooth level
land, do the cultivation on that.
Stop starving and go TO feeding all
cultivated land II the amount is no
more than five acres.
For some crops, as potatoes, on i'm
poverished soil, success is being had
by the judicious use OF commsroiI v
fertilizers.
