DOGS GOOD FOR. CATTLE DRIVING Now that maimer Is t bind and the cattle roaui about tb flekls, many farmer are at Ions for a good means of keeping tabs on tbt ones that are la the habit of going astray. Why not get a good dog to drive the cattle? asks a prominent authority of farm dogs. There are three breeds of dogs good for driving rattle the rough coat ed col Me, the smooth or close balred collie and the old English bobtail sheep dog. The latter has never become very popular either in the field or at dog shows. It possesses a heavy dense coat, but distinctive points are a bear tly built bead and munle, the whole profusely coated with long straggling A TALCABM FARM CAXIKB, balr, nearly biding Its eyes, and It Is usually tailless, though occasionally a tall asserts Itself. The first two breeds mentioned are very similar save for the great abun dance of coat of the one and the short close coat of the other. There are many dogs used for cattle purposes and some with great satisfaction to their owners. These are not pure breds. still they show much of the collie blood In them. Some have prick ed or cat ears, unlike the semi-erect ear of the collie, but they could not be accepted as certain or established breeds. As a rule, such dogs are a failure, for even If some may prove to be use ful aulmals they cannot reproduce others of like value. All pure breeds of animals have dis tinct characteristics, and when a dog of one breed is crossed with another, however good the Individuals may be. the offspring is naught but a mongrel, and bis character and temperament are matters of chance. It takes many generations of carefully selected mat lug3 to establish the certain positive traits of character. To make an out and out cross means an end to all that bas been accom plished during the years of careful breeding. If we hold steadily to the mark we are sure of the result, but If we take no aim nothing can be expect ed from it The dominant characteristic In the pure bred collie is much more than one of mere instinct It is the direct result of breeding for a purpose. The dogs bave been well selected for this purpose not on account of their beau ty, but for their intelligence and prov ed usefulness in this line of work and thus the animal Instinct bas been greatly tempered with reasou. Instinct depends chiefly upon self preservation, selfish interests, and is an unreasoning prompting to action Independent of any prior experience or Instruction. The range of instinct is too limited to cover the collie's won derful ability of self control, the doing of things beyond the possible scope of Instinct understanding the purpose and accepting the teaching of the mas ter who does reason. Dogs have been taught very difficult and amazing tricks, but the collie is not a "trick -dog." He works for bis master, and his record shows marvelous acts not by Imitation, but done wholly Inde pendently of any previous teaching. Tricks are oft repeated particular acts. The collie Is a skilled workman in a field of labor both difficult and per plexing, requiring courage and per sistence until the object of his task has been accomplished. In this work he has no equal. -. - . A Good Way to Veal Calves. Calves that are to be vealed should receive whole milk for at least two or three weeks. It may seem a little ex pensive to feed whole milk for so long a period, but we believe that If the calves are to be vealed at ail it pays to follow this system rather than at tempt to raise them entirely upon skimnillk. The first three or four days the milk from the mother is not fit for other purposes except to ose for her calf. If account Is kept of all the whole milk used it will be found that It will not amount to a great deal. Sradually changing at the end of the 6econd or third week to Rkiininill; and permitting the calf to eat all the dry grain and mixing a little blood meal In the skimmilk Is probably as good a practice as any to follow. Training the Horses. It Is claimed by those who have trained many horses that, taking the colt when training first begins, they can be trained to walk over four miles an hour. The walking gait is the most Important one to the farm and road horse. The mistake with many in training young horses is that they are too soon put to trotting, which Is a gait they more readily learn than fast walking. ft , Mission Finished House Ten-room lioupe fully furnished with Mission furniture; on best residence street, one block from Main street.

Dr. Flexner'a Strum Produce Excel lent Results. The first cure for ctr,'bro-aplnal meningitis by moans of lutra ventricu lar iitjectloua of the Kleiner eruin was made rrvoutly at a meeting of physicians and surgeons at the New York Academy of Medicine. That this disease, which prutes falsi In variably In the cases of children un der two years, bas , been mastered through the research of Dr. Simon riexiier, he.id of the Rockefeller In stitute of Medical liesearvh. was ad mitted scarcely without opposition by the physicians after careful considera tion of the data presented by Dr. Louis Fist her of the Sydenham hoe pltal, who successfully employed the scrum. The process employed by Dr. Fischer was to Inject a quantity of the Flex ner fluid Into the right ventricle of the brain, the liitenranlal cavity be ing aspirated and as much tin id as possible being drained off. The ravlty ' was then washed with a normal salt solution and the senmi again Injected. Lumbar Injections also were made, the result being a rapid improvement In the condition of the Infantile pa tient The Infant, which in this case was two months old. was cured after oven weeks' treatment, and Its condi tion now Is that of a normal child en joying the best of health. "The treatment marks a distinct epoch In the history of medicine.' said Dr. Fischer. "It has convinced me that the Flexner serum will minimize the daiiger of death In lufants under two years of age. whereas before Its introduction by Dr. Flexner the per centage of deaths was 100. That the serum will prove a boon to children attacked by cerehro-spiual meningitis seems to me a certainty. FOR SEEDING LAWNS. Machin Cuts the Sod, Drops Seed and" Covin It Up.

It Is the first machine of its kind for this purjuse and puts the seed in the ground, where it is safe from the wind and rain that often wash away seed sown broadcast The machine sows eight rows at a time on a strip sixteen Inches wide, and by its use an area of seventy square feet can be gone over In au hour. The cutting action of the disks loosens the soil, relieves the sod of Its root bound condition and cultivates. A heavy roller behind the row of disks firmly presses the soil down after the seed has been lodged. Popular Me chanics. A Quinine Anaesthetic. The gift of Dr. Henry Thibault of Scott Ark., to science Is the discovery that common quinine is a superior an aesthetic to any other in medical knowledge. This conclusion has been corroborated by the faculty of the medical college of the University of Kansas. The effect of quinine when Injected locally lasts for days, so that if the tonsils are removed or bones are cut from the nose there are no after pains for many day. Cocaine loses Its power shortly after an operation. Qui nine is absolutely safe, as quarts of it may be used without poisonous effect. Cocaine has a toxic effect save In small doses. Quinine hardens the tis sues into which it is introduced, pre venting hemorrhages after operations. Cocaine does not do this. Absolute vindication of these claims has just been announced by Dr. Arthur B. Ilertzler, assistant professor of sur gery in the University of Kansas Med ical college at Itosedale; Dr. Ford B. Kogers of the college dispensary and Dr. Roger B. Brewster, a special Inves tigator. The results made public by these doctors are the fruits of six months' experiments in the college hospital and in the hospital at Hal sted, Kan. New Work For the Blind. A novel method bas been introduced by the Liverpool School For the Indi gent Blind to enable some female pu pils to become self supporting. Quali fied experts have been engaged to teach certain blind inmates the mas lage treatment of patients. This fur nishes a new means for these unfortu nates to provide their own livelihood. Records bave been kept of those who have left the Institution qualified to practice as massage nurses, and the reports are most encouraging. This work is already a familiar employ ment of blind women in many places In eastern countries. Another some what unusual trade In which some of the blind are being instructed and from which good practical results havo been obtained is piano tuning. AN ODD AUCTION B ANSA tt OQDSRiPCE Copyright, t Americas Pms A&MOcMktton In antebellum days lu the south when the owuers of the groat plants lions formed a rural society such as on finds today In lb country districts of England F.dmuud Dexter, a young graduate of Harvard college, went to Ueorgia to tutor the children of a plant er named ttenkard. Among Dexter'a pupils wa Carey ttenkard, a girl of seventeen. Since Dexter was but twenty-three the relation of teacher and pupil was hardly a safe one If there were objections to the little god of tove coming In to weld their hearts. The said god did step In, tiring shafts I hat grievously wounded Miss Uenkard and Mr. Dexter. As soou as the at tachment was discovered Mr. Ben kard dismissed Dexter. The lovers were In au agouy over their separation, but what could they do? Dexter had no Income except what be received from the girl's father, and when that was cut off he was obliged to shift for himself. Dexter took his departure, telling the girl be loved that if fortune favored him he would come back and should be find her single be would claim ber. But be would not advise ber to wait for him. because be was not visionary and saw uo probability of his being able to take her from her luxurious home. The girl was wore hopeful and declared that if she could not marry the man she loved she would not mar ry at all. Ten years passed. Carey Benkard bad developed Into splendid woman. She bad received many offers, but had not married. She never spoke of the, young man who bad carried away ber virgin heart with him. She entered into the amusements In vogue among the planter society In which she lived. Her father did not urge ber to marry indeed, he dreaded lest she should. The only suitor be favored was a Unit ed States senator twenty years her senior who had made himself promi nent In the anti-slavery agitation that was then In full force. The civil war passed over the land, leaving the south Id a broken condi tion. Mr. Benkard, now General Ben- kard. h-lri lot ht vlarM ttw nmunplm. j tloo. but. being a man of energy, had done what be could to repair the dam age to bis plantation and. hiring bis old hands, had done bis planting and raised bis crops. But It was all he could do financially to keep his bead above water. There was a great deal of poverty In the south in those days, and every device was resorted to to keep many who bad lived In affluence from starr ing. A ball was given on the Benkard plantation for Ibis purpose, the ladies who managed It resorting to different methods by which to raise funds for charity. Among these was one which would bave been expected to produce excellent results if the young men of the south bad not been Impoverished by the war. It was this: A man could only gain the privilege of dancing with any lady be desired for a partner by bidding for It. Senator after the failure of the cause be bad advocated continued a suitor for Carey Benkard's band. More shrewd than most of bis compatriots at the beginning of the war, be bad sold bis slaves and put the money In blockade runners. Nearly all his ships bad passed In and out without, cap ture, and instead of being poor, like most of his neighbors, be was wealthy. There were no invitations to General Benkard's ball, all being free to attend. It bad been arranged that bids should be received for the privilege of opening the ball with Miss Carey Benkard. The men surrounded an Improvised auctioneer's stand, and offers were called for. Senator started the bidding by an offer of J.jOO. No other bid was expected, and the matter was considered closed when a man in the throng cried, "One thousand!" The senator started. Those looking on were surprised. t ho among the men of that region could offer so much? Senator raised bis bid to $1,500. He had scarcely spoken the words when his antagonist, who seem- ed to be a stranger, for no one knew bim, said quietly, "Five thousand." Senator felt It essential as a suitor for Miss Benkard's hand that be should win if It took half his for tune. The amounts were raised thousand every bid until $40,000 was reached, when the stranger bid $100, 000. The senator retired from the con test on the ground Ibat his opponent might not be possessed of as many cents as be had bid dollars, whereupon the stranger displayed certified chocks to the amount of half a million. The name signed to the checks 'was Edward Dexter. Dexter was recognized by Carey Ben kard the moment she saw him. They opened the ball together, and later he made-a formal application of her fa ther for her hand. Dexter gave an Ixplanation of his affairs as follows: The owners of a newly discovered mine in the west had offered it to east ern capitalists.

Turner, who holds the Savallan professorship of astron omy at Oxford, held by Muttey In 1704. lectured at the Itoynl Institution In london recently on Halley'a comet In the course of his address Professor Turner made this striking suggestion: Hu May 18 we shall b In the tall of the comet If you like to bottle some of the air and hand It down to your grandchildren they will bave In their possession tome of Halley's comet of 191 "1 think," added the lecturer, "thai this institution ought to bottle large quantities of air on that night and find out what is really In the comet's tall." Professor Turner dismissed any fear that may still exist of the conse quences of passing through the com et's tail by stating that only a hundred-thousandth part of the air on May 18 will tie comot'a tall. Dealing first with the path of the comet. Professor Turner explained with great clearness the fact that a comet move slowly when at Its great est distance from the Sun ami verv much faster when Hearing and pass- lug round the sun. "It Is a striking fact." he said, "that Halley's comet spends half its time lu a small arc be yond Neptune and takes only a few weeks to travel the same distance when It gets near the sun. Thus there are millions of comets hovering like hawks in sjiace ready to ounee upon the sun. Once In a thousand years they make te oitnce. You ought to think of this envoioi of millions of comets surrounding each star." Some of the peculiarities of the tails f comets were described by Professor Turner. Sometimes, he observed, com ets lose their tails. That Is not always because the tail dlsapnnrs, but some times because It Is behind the comet and for a time, then-fore. Invisible. At times the tall lies across the di rection of movement, pointing away from the tun and apiarcutly blown outward by some force from the sun. This force which blows the tall of the comet from the sun "like chaff" Is ei ther electrical or the light of the sun Itself, which has a force of Its own. The dissipation of the tails of comets Is now accepted as a fact and lends to the conclusion that comets gradually grow smaller until they "probably break up into small meteors." He Thought It Peculiar. Some years ago Frank A. Munsey, the magazine man, hired a private sec retary. Speaker Ueed dropped In to call on Mr. Munsey. who was nn old friend of his. The secretary said that Mr. Munsey was engaged. All right," said Heed, "I II wait." At the end of half an hour Munsey's door opened, and the publisher ap peared, showing his caller out. Seeing the speaker, he grasped his hand and dragged him Into tils office. An hour later, when Reed had gone, Mr. Munsey called his secretary. "Look here. Block." be said, "what do you mean by letting Speaker Reed wait unannounced half an hour?" Wa-wa-walh that Mr. Rcedr It certainly was." Why, I thought It walh the Rev'.
