Affection Causes Dogs Death.

Natural affection on the part Of a
dog was instanced In a remarkable
manner at Beaumont, in the province
of Soane-et-Loire, France, a few days
ago. One of the inhabitants drove out
of the town into the forest to gather
firewood, taking with him the dog,
which he left to guard his coat and
basket of food while he wandered
about gathering wood. In his absence
the dog gave birth to three puppies,
and the wood ~gatherer, when he start
ed home, forgot to place the puppies
in the cart with their mother. During
the night the dog jumped over a fence
and ran the whole distance, some ten
miles, to the spot where the puppies
had been left, and brought one back
In her mouth. Then she made two
more journeys in order to bring back
the other two. Altogether she Gov
cred a distance of about sixty miles
in the night. The next morning her
master found her dead in the yard
by the side Of her puppies, which were
alive and well.

Six-MHe Depth.

A surveying ship of the German
navy has recently discovered the
deepest known spot in the ocean. 1t
Is near the Philippines, about 40 sea
miles off the north coast of Mindanao.
Great depths we're found to be
e in this region, but the rec.
ord sounding showed the amazing re-
suit Of $3.50 meters, or 400 feet more
than six miles.
The greatest ocean depth hitherto
known was found by the United
States cable steamer Nero in 1901.
This spot was to the south OF the
Island Of Guam, and the deep sea land
indicated 1896 meters-iust a little
less than six miles.

Factories That Float,

Floating factories have become an
important part Of the development
of the forest of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense of
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in a
sawmill it can be packed in a way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system of log
ging. Plants for the preparation of
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lish In this manne The plants are
built on fiat boats, 200 feet long, by
81 feet wide, capable of carrying a
load of 470 tons.

parent, but in winter or spring the
signs of people, h~abitations, domestic
animals, cultivation, wherever the eye
rests, are striking beyond all else in
the Egyptian landscape. In the winter
there are crops to be. sown, watered
and tended, and by early spring the
first of these crops are ready for har.
vest.
Great golden masses of cor are al
ready to be seen near Luxor, and bar
ley already bearded even near Cairo;
tomatoes are fit for gathering, great
purple-black~ aubergines ripe for pluck
Ing, opium peoples in flower, field after
field of them of all colors; and, above
all, there are onions everywhere, acres
of onions, lucerne and grain.
The winter is not past, indeed, be-
fore the fellah is planting in the I'M
covered stretches of rich black Nile
mud and in sandy splits where the
larger wild birds c%ongregate the seeds
Of the watermelons, which in summer
are almost the staff of his life. To see
those watermelon plants from day to
day used to remind us of an old
nursery rhyme, three lines of which
ran thus:
And with gardener man,
And the watering can,
Says, Gracious! how fast he grows!"
For they grow almost visibly, fostered
by the hot sunshine and noprished by
the fat Nile mud.
1t is doubles this ceaseless life and
activity of the Nile and not merely the
sense Of vast limitless space, the
~boundless horizon, nor the atmospheric
effects changing with the time Of day,
which prevent the Egyptian scene

SuhatItute for Grass.

An interesting experiment in horti-
culture was made some time back at
the garden laid out at the site Of the
King Edward VII. memorial statute in
Delhi, India. In order to ensure a
green surface at the time of the stone
laying ceremony, meth" (trigonella)
seed was sown when the grass was
planted. The meth" sprang up in
about a month and maintained a green
surface throughout the cold weather,
which could be smoothly mown and
did not interfere with the growth Of
the grass. The ground was allowed to
get dry at the beginning of the hot
weather, and within a week the
meth" had died out, leaving good
lawns In Its place. The "methi," be-
longing to the order of "Leguminosae."

Risks Life for Cat.

To save a cat which, in a fight, had
climbed to the top of a 100 foot lad
der, a foreman painter named Robin
son risked his life the other day, in
Oxford street, London. The cat
chung to the topmost rung of the lad
der from seven o'clock in the morn
ing till nearly midday. A crowd en-
deavored in vain to coax it to make
the descent. Then Robinson climbed
the ladder. 1t overtopped the build
ing against which it was standing by
thirty feet, and when Robinson
reached this point the ladder swayed
ominously. He was able to clutch the
animal and bring it safely down,
amid the applause of the onlookers.

Through the summer the ewes
should have frequent change of pas
ture. When one pasture becomes
short they should be moved onto an
other, which will be fresh and clean.
This system is preferred rather than
large pastures where the sheep would
be forced to Craze over grass infected
with worms from the droppings of
the other sheep. If such a series of
small pastures are provided, the ewes
can be changed to new grass before
the pastures become badly infested.
This practice of changing pastures
every two or three weeks is one of the
best methods of combating and hold
ing in check, the intestinal parasites,
which are the worst enemies of the
sheep industry in Missouri.
The shade in the pasture is very
important. During the summer sheep

carried in his hand, II came out to

why, may l ask, are you out so early?"

during the summer. If the bluegrass
pastures become short and dry, there
are a number of other crops which
make most excellent pastures. Rape,
cowpeas and oats are all good. Rape
and oats drilled in at the rate OF
FIVE or six pounds of rape and a bushe!
of oats to the acre, will furnish good
pasture from the middle of June to
the middle of July. This crop should
be sown early in April. Rape alone
makes a good pasture through Au-
gust and early september. It SHOULD
be sown the latter yart of Ju1e at
the rate of eight to ten pounds per
acre.
Sheep kept to act as scavengers
alone do not prove very profitable.
But if properly handled the flock can
be effectually used in clearing up
weeds in the lots, fence rows and
corners. The flock can be turned in

and forced to eat the Weeds, and
then put on a good pasture for a
while. Care should be taken not to
get the ewes in too thin condition.
If they have raised lambs, they must
regain their strength and flesh dur
ing the summer to put them in pro-
per breeding condition by fall. =
Too much is often expected Of
sheep. If weeds are allowed to ma
ture before sheep are turned on them,
poor results will likely result. Old,
woody weeds are very unpalitable
and have very little feeding value.
The sheep should be turned onto the
weeds when they are young and ten
der. When in this stage the sheep
will nip them to the ground, stopping
their growth and killing many of
them.
