DOGS FOR FARM NOnl
AS VALUABLE AS TRUSTY HIHEl
MEN, SAYS WRITER.
American Agrlculturists Have Not ST..
ficiently Appreciated Their VICE
Usefulness, Though It is Fec
ognized In Europe.

In England and Scotland farme..
learned long ago the value OF dc,
to farm work. There the universal c..
tom is to have dogs daily co the;
part the same as trusty hired mcn.
Here in America, however, few fagr
ers know the value of well-;raine
dog. We are the losers because @
this fact. We will learn. of cours,
in years to come; and working de-
that are daily help will replace til,
countless farm help "misfits" now in
posing on the farmers generosity.
1t once happened that the owner
some sheep dogs worked them baca
and forth among flocks of sheep
the same place where many farmer
were assembled in convention. Tn,
farmers witnessed the work the dog
were doing as the sheep were move
from barns to pasture, through pens
gates and lanes. They were amaze,
to find them so helpful and wondered
at their intelligence. They saw then
go quietly around the edges Of pas
ture and gather in the sheep from
far away, while the owner waited al
the gate. They saw them herd the
sheep along the lanes, doing work two
men could not have done. And they
profted 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. 1t
may be on some large estates many
different men are employed, thereby
leaving little opportunity for anyone
to train 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 a dog is OF
little value, for he drives the stoch
away as often as he brings them back
to the pen they have left. Such dog
might have developed into a good one
1t was the fault o& the master that hC
was never trained. Let no man for
get how important 1t Is to have his
dog we'll trained and carefully edu
Gated to do his bidding. The greer
unframed dog is like the unbroken colt
or the new hired man. Neither is
good as a real helper until taught tc
do as you wish him to do-Farm ant

The Weak Spot.

All the days provisions except the
butter were ordered by telephone. The
housekeeper came to the store to pick
that out herself
That Is popularity of many
women" said the grocer mo matter
how long they have been trading with
grocer or a butcher, no matter how
reliable they may know him to be,
they make hobby of one certain com.
modify on which they distrust his
judgment. Everything else may be
ordered by telephone or through the
clerks, but they insist upon coming
TO the store and picking out that par.
ticuiar article. Some women want to
sort out the eggs, others must taste
and smell the butter, or maybe it is
the tea or the coffee or the cheese
they are suspicious about. It's a
queer notion. IL they can trust us in
other things it stands to reason that
we'd give a square deal all the way
through. but these doubling Thomases
Will take no chances"

Blasting at the Canal.

In the last five years the operations
on the Panama canal have required
40,0S2,S50 pounds of dynamite for
blasting, or an average of S,O1G,57O
pounds per year. The estimates for
the year ending June 30, 1912, are S..
$4,000 and for the l2 months follow.
ing only 3,9S6,50O. The comparatively
small amount for the latter is due to
the approaching completion of the IX.
cavation work, which will make the
total of dynamite used over $1,000, 900
pounds. Reckoned by tons. that will
be 10000 tons, which sounds bigger
or smaller according to the mind of
the person reading 1t.
For the coming fiscal year the esti.
mated need of other materials for
blasting is 328,O00 blasting caps. 1910
pounds Of insulated tape, 10000 feet
of connecting wire, 555,SO0 feet OF
lead wire, 627.7G0 feet OF electric
fuses, $4,000 feet OF triple tape fuse.

Proper Credit Given to India.

The art Of cementation, by which
iron is carburized and converted into
steel on heating In charcoal powder,
has been Investigated by Sir Robert
Hadheld In an ancient chisel of Cey-
lon, 1900 years old or more, and he
confirms the claim OF India to the dis
eovery that has done more than any
other to advance civilization.
The most complete collection OF iron
and steei specimens from 1900 to
1900 years old is IN the museum at
Colombo.
The famous pillar of Delphi is q
most notable ancient specimen OF iron.
1t Is a mass OF wrought iron welded
into sold shaft 23 feet inches long
and Weighing about six tons-a cred

Why He Was a "sucker.n

Will,'m f.. Mason of Chicago, at a
banque' given to lawyers and poll
ticians, was called upon for a story
and told the following:
"A well-known Illinois politician
was speaking at the same banquet
with q governor of New Jersey some
years ago. The Jersey governor went
into exhaustive figures as to the
wealth, agricultural and manufactur.
ing resources of his own state In
fact, he seemed to lack terminal facil-
tiles. for he talked about forty min
utes.
Before he sat down he said: 4 am
to be followed by a silver-tongued or.
ator from Illinois. and / hope before
he sits down he will tell us why they
are called "Suckers"'
Our friend from Illinois said:
Mr.. Toastmaster, when | heard the
description Of the agricultural prod.
ucts Of New Jersey / was almost
ashamed to come from the corn belt Of
Illinois, and when he told us of his
states manufactures, 1t made Illinois
look small, but noticed, Mr.. Toast
master, that you and the gentlemen
about you seemed incredulous-in
fact, | could tell by your expression
that you did not believe a word he
said. l want to say TO the governor
of New Jersey that / believe every
word he said, and that is the reason
j am called a sucker"

SWEDEN PREPARING
TO SEND MARKSMEN
Accepts Invitation Of United States to
Enter mpetition--Sweden Will
Probably Build More Warships.

Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. 0.-Tht
Swedish rifle clubs in response to the
American invitation to send team OF
markemen TO the United States, are max
ing efforts to organize the strongest pos
sible combination Of rifemen to par
ticipate in the tour.
Swedish riflemen proved the closest
rivals of the Americans in the shooting
contests at the Olympic games, where
they led all other nations. They know
each Others calibre and Captain p. H.
Hedenbald, president of the Swedish di-
vision of the international rifle union, is
of the opinion that some keen contests
may therefore be expected.
The construction of two more battle
ships is to be demanded from the Swed
ish parliament to the admiralty next
year.
The ships will be of the so-called +
type. displaeing 7 800 tons and making a
speed of p knots. Each will carry in
armored turrets four ll-inch guns and
secondary armament of twelve 6-inch
long distance quick firing guns.
1t is expected that some new destroy
ers will be built, and four submarines
have been ordered.
All of the vessels will be built In
Swedish shipyards.
The splendid work OF the Swedish
officers engaged in the instruction OF. the
police in Persia has been called
attention to by the publication of re-
port that they are to be recalled.
1t was said that they We're to be with
drawn because they could no longer be
assured of their play. This Is denied
here. The foreign Office here has had no
that their services would
be dispensed with, and it is not thought
likely that Russia and Great Britain
would demand return, for they are very
efficient.
The war for the control of the Swedish
>il company. is to be renewed by the
newly incorporated British-Swedish Oil
company, with a capital of one million
dollars. The new company is to take
