DOG WITH AN INDIVIDUALITY
lssovsiIst,s Pet Had Many PeeuIiaritIes.
Some Of Which Were the Cause
of Embarrassment.

| During o summers sojourn In her
NATIVE home In Texas, Mrs. T. P.
tOConnor, the talented wife Of 'Tay
Pay" wrote book ON the traits and
Individual characteristics Of various
dogs that she has owned or known.
While In New York. on the eve Of her
return TO England. she was inter
viewed by q representative Of the New
York Sun, to whom she told the fol-
lowing story of q dog owned by Bar
Tie. the famous novelist and dramatist.
The dog was evidently the prototype
of the Newfoundland In Barrie's Lit
tie White Bird"
"Mr. Barrie told me this story" said
Mrs. O'Connor He said that the dog
had craze for dolls. They would
pass q shop, and the dog would see
% doll displayed in the window and
manifest q wish for one. When Mr..
Barrie priced the dolls, the clerk
would invariably ask how old was the
child for whom It was intended. And
because he was ashamed to say that
the doll was for the dog. he would
reply: -Four years. as that was the
age of the Newfoundland.
"0ne Sunday they went TO church
In the country. The dog had been
left outside. But he refused to be sep
Rrated from his family. At the first
opportunity. he squeezed through the
door, and Mr.. Barrie beheld him march
Ting up the xisle as the congregation
were waiting for the service to begin.
With fascinated gaze his owner
watched him make his numbering way
TO the pulpit stairs and then ascend
them. He looked all round, turning
bis head this way and that, in search
!of his master. Then. to gain better
vantage. he put his forepaws on the
Bible desk and calmly stood there on
his hind legs. surveying the assembled
congregation.
"Mr. Barrie did not wish to establish
his responsibility for such behavior,
and sat petrified lest the chancel door
should open and the rector appear.
who hated and was afraid Of dogs.
Miss Barrie, his sister. solved the DIFF
fculty by going up and gently leading

Sleeping rooms should be cold. At
least one window should be opened
top and bottom all the time. The bed
should be as far from the windows as
possible. in a corner out of the direct
draft. The same treatment applies to
small children and babies as well as
to their parents. The mother who can
convince herself Of this will get re-
suits. She will discover that her baby,
II properly clothed and with blanket
pinned around his crib to prevent q
current Of air, will sleep more quietly,
learn to keep under his bed clothing
and will not catch cold 30 easily OF
course this does not apply to ailing
infants or those under six weeks Of

BIRDS PROVE TRUE
FRIENDS OF FARMER
Sparrow Consumes 0ne-Fourth
Ounce Of Noxlous Weed Seed
in Course of Day.

A tree sparrow is said to consume
one-fourth of an ounce of injurious
weed seeds a day. and weed seeds
constitute three-fourths of the diet
of the song sparrow. Quail, bobo-
links, blackbirds, some of the larks
and wild ducks are among the birds
that are valuable to farmers as de-
stroyers Of noxious weed seeds.
The government has estimated that
the American sparrow family alone
saved farmers ss0.260,000 In 1910 by
keeping down the spread Of weeds.

with all the rubbish around the bed.
The framework of the hotbed and the
ground around it should then be thor
oughly soaked with solution of for
maldehyde made by mixing one pint
of formalin and 80 gallons of water.
An alternative solution may be made
by dissolving one pound of copper sui
phate in 25 gallons of water Which
ever solution is used, it is advisable
that the treatment be repeated after
about twenty-four hours. The fresh
soil, preferably sand, for the hotbed,
should be obtained from some place
where sweet potatoes have never been
grown. A high spot in the woods is
excellent for the purpose. The upper
six inches of the soil should be thrown
away and only the subsoil used. The
same implements used to handle and
haul away the old dirt should not be
used for the new soil unless they have
been cleaned and disinfected with a
solution of either formalin or corro-
isive sublimate.
An additional precaution is to cook
all deoayed or diseased potatoes be-
fore feeding them to stock, and never
to throw them in the yard. If this is
neglected, disease may find its way
to the hotbed through the medium of
stable manure.
These precautions in disinfecting
the seed and the -hotbed will, Of
course, be largely wasted II the field
is infected. It is not known exactly
how long the stem-rot fungus will
live In the soil in the absence Of sweet
potatoes, but probably for several
years. For this reason sweet potatoes
should not be planted In the same
ground oftener than once in three or
four years. No other crops are known
to be attacked by the fungus, and any
of them, therefore, may be used in the
rotation.
Unlike stem rot, black rot spreads
freely through potatoes In storage.
1t is, therefore, most important that
no potatoes with this disease find
their way into the storage house. It
is also desirable to pick over the
seed in the spring again and discard
any potatoes with suspicious spots.
Root rot and scurf are controlled
in much the same way as stem rot,
black rot and foot rot. Sourf, 1t has
been found. is worse on heavy soils
and on soils containing a large guam
tity OF organic matter, such as ma
nure. A wet season is also favorable
to the spread OF the disease. In con-
trolling foot rot, 1t is important to re-
that although this disease
attacks a great variety of plants, 1t
has never been known to attack corn
or any of the cereals. These can,
therefore, be grown on the infected
grounds.

An oak or hard maple cannot be re-
