CONCERNING DOGS

The dog is placed at the feet OF
women in sculpture to symbolic az
lection and fidelity.
David Lawrence, hero of popular
old English tale, had dog which was
so lazy that 1t leaned It's head against
a wall when it barked.
The expression, dog in the manger,"
Is applied to a churlish person who
will not use what is wanted by another
nor let the other use it.
In the Far East the dog still is held
in abharrence as a scavenger of the
streets, and the appellation dirty dog
is the superlative Of disdain.
Barry, the famous mastiff of Great
st. Bernard's, in the early part of the
Nineteenth century, was instrumental
in saving the lives Of 40 Alpine travel
ers.
A dog at the feet of a CRUSADER was
symbolic of the fact that the Crusader
followed the standard of the Lord as
faithfully as the dog follows the foot
steps Of his master.
Cerberus, according to Roman myth
ology, was the three-headed dog guard
ing the entrance to the Internal
regions. Hercules dragged the mon
ster to earth, but released him.
Barking dogs never bite" had its
origin in the statement that dogs in
their wild state never bark, but howl,
whine and growl. Barking is an ac-
qulred habit and, 1t was believed, was
no Indication of a savage temper.
'Dog-watch" is a corruption of
"dodge-watch" and has no relation to
dogs. In seafaring two short watches,
one from 4 o'clock to 6 and the other
from 6 to in the evening, were in
troduced to dodge the routine or pre-
vent the same men always keeping
watch at the same time.

PJ REBRED SIRES HELP
BUILD Up FARM STOCK

In sizing up the value OF purebreds
on the farm, Earl f. Harper of John
son made the statement that after
using high class purebred sires on
mis- ordinary farm stock, the third
generation looked like purebreds
Cows by the three purebred bulls
which | have used show the addi-
ton of quality, scale and improved
conformation, stated Mr.. Harper in
a conversation with c. NJ Hubbard,
extension livestock specialist of the
State College, in telling about his
beef cattle.
The best two calf crops are the
equal of any l have seen in this part
of the state. They are all low set
and heavily fleshed, indicating the
strong breeding qualities of their
sires.
Good purebred sires are certain
ly worth their additional cost in inn
proyement gained in the offspring;
they produce calves that mature
quicker and make more actual
pounds of meat and a bigger gain for
the amount of pasture and feed con-
sumed, than is the case with calves
from grade and scrub sires. From
my experience | find that good pure
bred boars are to the breeding herd
of sows what good bulls are to the
COW herd They help produce
stronger. huskier, larger pigs, the
kind that bring larger and quicker
profits
