Hero Gave Up His Life.

In South Dakotah a shepherd dog was the hero of disastrous prairie fire which swept over a part of Tripp county, in the Rosebud country. When the fire had approached the farm of John Springer his wife ran to the cattle shed and opened the door so that the cattle could es- cape. Before the woman could drive the cattle from the shed the fire was so close, and the smoke so dense, that she had to go to the house and seek shelter in it. But the dog remained at it's post and with almost human intelli- gence succeeded in driving the cattle out of the burning shed. The animals, frightened by the fire and smoke, made frantic efforts to get back into the shed, but the faithful dog stood guard ank kept them out. When the fire had swept past, the cattle were found alive, although bad ly slnged, but the dog had per ished.

The Marriage Knot.

A good deal is heard of the "mar- riage knot," but very few of us real ize that the knot was ever anything more than a figure of speech. Among the Babylonians tying the knot was part of the marriage cere- mony. The priest took a thread from the garment of the bride and another from that of the bride groom and tied them into a knot, which he gave to the bride, thus symbolizing the binding nature of the union which now existed be- tween herself and her husband.

Many young wife. all unconscious ". places her husband in trying po- sition by incurring expenditures quite beyond his means. In many instances the blame for this state of affairs is chargeable largely to the husband be- cause of his failure to take his wife into his confidence. Many home has been wrecked or had it's happiness largely destroyed through failure on the part of the husband to inform his wife of his exact financial status. It is her right to know the volume of the income. If she does and is not willing to cooperate in making both ends meet, then the blame rests on herself.

The milk distributors trust in the New England states has forced or is keeping the price it is willing to pay for milk down to the point where good many farmers cannot produce it and make both ends met. with the re- suit that in some sections farmers are quitting the dairy business entirely and going into poultry raising. It would seem that if enough do this it would materially improve the market conditions for those that keep on with the cows.

The dandelion is a perennial pest. and worse some seasons than others. There are two methods of getting rid of it One is to take sharp knife and cut the plants off just below the crown. The other-and this method is recommended for larger areas-is to spray the young and tender plants with a strong solution of iron sul- phate or green vitriol. This puts the plants out of commission. but does not seriously injure the grass.
