Many collie has learned to Keep fowls out of the garden and away from the front of the house without ever doing any damage to them.
 The price of collies, as with fowls. depends greatly upon the quality and what they are wanted for. Some of our highest show types of eoIIies are the most intelligent and useful around the farm.

Rough-Coated Scotch Variety Is Not Only Useful Around Sheep, but Can Be Taught to Drive Cat
 tie and Keep Watch.

There is nothing more companion. able when rambling through the woods or walking in the country than fine dog. On the farm a dog-a good one-is as essential as other live stock.
 There is no animal more intelligent or sagacious than collie, and no dog Is more suitable for the farmer Col lies are very beautiful, graceful in every movement and are active all the time. Their heavy coat adds to their beauty, and enables them to with Is easily taught, and soon learns to do useful duties about the place with. out bidding. They think and act for themselves in an emergency, making most excellent watchdogs, and always show loyalty and love for their mas ter.
 If you have never taken a fancy to dog just get a good intelligent collie and you will in a short time think nearly as much of him as any member of the family. They make fine com panions for women and children. They are very affectionate and their affec- tions are strong and lasting.
 The rough-coated Scotch collie is one of the oldest breeds of dogs. Its history extends way back into ancient times when dogs of this breed were used by the shepherds to care for their flocks. It is today used for this same purpose not only in the west among the mountains and the plains, but in England and Scotland, as well

 Lambs do not need to be dipped TOT so long time as older sheep, as their wool is short. They are also more delicate in constitution, hence cannot stand the dipping as well as older sheep.
 Always water sheep before dipping otherwise they may drink the dlp which is sometimes found in Attie puddles in the dripping pens.
 Each sheep should be held in the dip from two to three minutes, ana the head quickly immersed once or twice just before the sheep leaves the vat
 A sheep in moderate length of wooi and allowed to drip thoroughly after being dipped will carry away rom two to three quarts of the dlp' sheep after being shorn will cari3 away about quart of the dip.

REGULATING SELLING PRICE.

REGULATING SELLING PRICE.
AT recent meeting of the National
Federation of Retail Merchants, held
in st. Louis, several of the speakers
took the position that the manufact-
urer should have the power to regu
late the price at which their goods
should be sold to the consumer by the
retailer. OF course they have been
driven to this position by the action
OF cut rate stores which occasionally
give unfair competition to the estab-
hshed merchant, but we doubt very
much If they ever will succeed in get
ting legislation which will prevent the
purchaser and owner of commo dity
from selling it at any price he deems
proper. That mail order houses throw
out bait in the way of cut prices on
staples can be admitted. If the cuSto-
mers caught with such bait see fit to
pay exorbitant prices on other articles
desired it is their affair. One way to
stop 1t would be legislation regulating
the selling price on any and every ar
ticle. We do not believe that the COM
mon sense of the people will premit
them to indorse either remedy. There
is altogether too much of a demand
for legislation aimed to treat the gen.
eral public as an infant in Swaddllng
clothes needing the services of a wet
nurse. Statute books are loaded down
with legislation aimed to correct eV-
cry shortcoming of humanity-and at
times the legislators have wandered
afield in an endeavor to hunt for
abuses to remedy. Is it not about
time to recognize humanity as made
up of thinking units and allow each
one of us to have something to say in
shaping our individual lives? One
trouble is that man is in the main sell
fish, and if he finds that he cannot
win success according to the rules of
the game in which he sits he appeals
to the judges to so change the rules
that the possibility of loss is removed
and his future gains made certain

INSURANCE. LEGIsLATION.

1t will be well for the Kansas senate
; to consider carefully the matter of the
repeal of the present fire insurance an
ti-discriminatio1 law. The bill, with
such an aim, has already passed the
house.
Exponents of the law, thus attacked,
assert that it protects the little insurer
against the big one. If that is true,
which the legislature should be able to
ascertain, it would mean a serious step
backward to repeal this statute. 1t I'M
doubtedly was a fact as friends OF the
present law urge, that the large insurer
was able to obtain a better rate tnan
the owner of small property. They in
sist that the companies were able TO
give tba heavy insurer cut only by
charging an additional premium against
the little fellows"
If the law is working an injustice to
the fire insurance companies 1t might
be amended to do justice to all. BUT
a repeal of the law would hardiy ac-
co1nplish this result. Under us TERMS
the law merely compels fire companies
to file rates with the insurance ue
partment The department IS given
power to find such rates eitner loo
high or too law, and to reaoJust .leii
IT does not fix rates for any conpahS'
although the public filing of rates prac-
tically necessitates the filing OF similar
rates by all companies F'urthernlole'
the law forbids the giving OF reoa'e
to insurers. If the giving OF suc,i
rebate meant that the small insurer iiao

radically wrong.

CANADA'S FUTILE EFFORT.

AS a loyal colony Canada has gone
far in discriminating in favor of Brit
ish products. within the limits of gov
ern:nental partially. The preferential
duty which admits the products of the
United Kingdom at a lower tariff rate
than is enforced against like merchan-
disc from other countries is an advan-
tage which British manufacturers and
exporters counted upon to accomplish
much in diverting trade from the
United States to the British Isles
Fhe latest official records of Cana
dian commerce prove that this attempt
to favor British trade at the expense
of America has been a fat failure. In
the twelve months ended October 81,
the Canadian imports from the United
Kingdom were $101, 667, 1876 in duti-
able products and s2S.7O1.456 in mer-
chandise free of duty. In the same
period the dutiable imports from the
United States were valued at s246,-
694,766, and merchandise worth $685.

S412,666,000 for this country. About
IS per cent. of the total imports of the
Dominion were from the United States
It is clear that tariff discrimina-
ton is not enough to stop the great
gains which American manufacturers
and exporters are making in the trade
of Canada. The Canadian imports
from the United States increased last
year more than four times as much as
the growth of the imports from Great
Britain and Ireland. Every year sees
the position of this. republic become
more dominant in Canadian trade, and
its business relations with the Donin-
ion are constantly growing closer and
more important to both countries.
This development is the result of
natural laws and forces which are far
more potent than any possible artifi-
cial barriers which a free people
would ever impose or tolerate. 1t is
an intimacy which the map explains
and nothing can prevent.
