Your Truly, FRED YOI1ANN. THE SHEEP KILLING DOG. Get some loud sounding bells and put them on the sheep, one for every twenty five head. This will not keep away every dog, but it will scare out many of them. The average sheep killer dreads publicity, and any noise that will attract attention to his move ments will cause him to leave the farm. When the dog that is not afraid of sheep bells comes along, if any of the people are at home and wake the bells will be heard and the sheep rescued. To safeguard against the attacks at night, and when all are away from home, surround one permanent pas ture with a woven wire fence, and make a gate of the same material, or of high pickets, so that no dog can get into that field. Put the sheep in that lot at night and whenever there is no one to hear the bells and to pro tect the sheep. To find whether your pasture is dog-proof or not, borrow some dogs of assorted sizes and breed and shut them into the field. If they cannot get out, dogs cannot get in. Of course the fence must fit tight to the ground . If It is not high enough to prevent jumping over, stretch a wire or two above. But few dogs will cross a fence of ordinary height unless there is something on top to rest their feet upon while In the act. A fine wire will throw them back. If you think it necessary to keep your sheep in more than one flock, you will need such a corral for each band. The size of the enclosure will depend on your own judgment and the lay of land. It would not be a mistake to fence your entire pasture in this way, as the cost would exceed but little the usual cost of a good wire fence. It would also aid much In preventing hunting and trespassing upon your premises. Hut If fencing against dogs does not appeal to you, put up notices along your line fences and roads that all dogs entering your fields without per mission will be shot or poisoned. Then get ready to execute accordingly. Goats and Horned Dorsets may af ford some protection against small dogs, but It would bo impossible for them to protect a flock against an attack from two or more largo, sav ago and swift sheep-killers. Indiana Farmer. BRAN AND OATS. There are several right ways or feeding cows, and as ninny wrong ways. Good bran I consider un ex cellent feed for cows, as well as for all other kinds of livestock, yet there are dairymen who claim that bran Is the poorest feed they ever gave a cow. There Is a great difference in bran. Too many feed their cows, as well as other stock, at random that is, with out regiad to the Quality of food and without regard to the requirements of the animal hence many of us feed too much. I never bad any trouble from feeding too much bran. Oats aro one of my best and most useful feeds. I like to feed them un tlireshed, or in the bundlo or shear. Some think It a wasteful method to feed oats in this way, but If they are harvested whllo yet a llltlo green and are properly taken euro of, the cows will eat them with relish. The first thing the cow gets bold of is the heads, and after eating those they will linlsh up tho rest, so there will be no more waste than with any other food. I have soon them fed to horses In this shape, too, with excellent, results, ami I always aim to have some ouls In the bundlo for the hens In winter. They are n line egg-producer, anil when given In this way they answer tho purpose of scratching material, keeping the liens busy getting the outs; then the straw answers for bed ding for the hens to work over.

Grown on a larger scute, the small fruits are among the most profitable crops that the farm will produce. The best liked and most widely dis tributed small fruit is the strawberry. The best soil for the stru wherry bod is a sandy loam. Strawberries do bet ter on light soils, and the berries are larger and of better quality. If you have no light soil that can be used for the strawberry bed you tan greatly improve a heavy soil by immuring it well. Of course it must be well V s s if. i ' via.

Deep plowing, with thorough disk ing and harrowing, Is necessary la or der to get the land Into the best con dition. Strawberries should follow some cultivated crop which lias been kept free from weeds. It will then be easier to prepare the seed bed, aud the patch will be freer from weeds and insects. Strawberries are particular In their soli requirements, and a little care In preparation will add greatly to the Blv.e of the crop. Too little at tention is given to this roost Important requisite. Many persons do not seem to be aware that the strawberry Is at all particular abmit the soil In which it is put. As a ci iMiueuee they pre pare their beds wu limit any reference to this essential factor in the success of their enterprise ami, of course, are doomed to disappointment In the out come. Varieties of Strawberries. Varieties of strawberries arc divided into two general types the perfect and the imperfect flowered. The imperfect contain only the female organs or pis tils, whllo the perfect sorts contain both stamens and plsills. The imper fect varieties can produce no fruit un less fertilized with the pollen from the flower of a perfect variety. It Is very important that attention be paid to this point In planting. Many of the Imperfect sorts possess points of supe riority over the perfect varieties. They can be successfully grown by planting every fifth row to a perfect flowered variety. This row will furnish pollen for the two rows ou either side of It. In setting out a bed In (his way care must be takeu to see that the two va rieties come Into bloom at the same time. Perfect and imperfect varieties can not be .told apart except when in bloom. Then the absence of the row of pistils around the petals marks the Imperfect sorts. Lists of varieties of strawberries always specify whether they arc perfect or Imperfect. A reli able nurseryman can be depended upon to give you what you ask fur. A list of the varieties best adapted to your locality can be obtained from your ex periment station. The strawberry Is propagated almost eutlrely by runners. At each Joint in the runner a new plant appears and takes rout. Only plants less than a year old should be selected for plant ing. The crown should not be too large and the roots thick and long. The presence of large woody roots and a heavy crown Indicates that the plant Is an old one. If there are many leaves It Is well to pinch off one or two of the largest to correspond to the injury to the root system. Planting Strawberries. Spring 'planting Is the most reliable, but where the fall Is moist or the patch can be readily watered fall planting- gives very good results. The two Important points in planting are i spreading the roots and pin king the ' dirt tightly about them The plants I should be set so the crow us are just ! level with the surface of the ground. Hills Versus Matted Rows. j Strawberries are grown both In hills and In rows. In the hill system the , plants are set about three feet apart. The runnels are cut off in order to make a conipai t, vigorous hill. The size and quality of the berries are hot ter under the hill system, hut the mat- in summer can be prevented by taking if,."

All Dnux-its f TO'i,M:i -'MIT i i r led row system gives larger yields, la this the plants me set from ten to twelve inches apart In rows four feet apart. The runners are trimmed to make a matted rpw about two feei wide. The spaces between the rows should be kept well cultivated during the early part of the season and the weeds pulled in the rows. After the second year the runners can be allow ed to Gil these open spaces and the original rows plowed up. In this way the bed can be easily renewed and kept bearing for several years, usually untU the land becomes so weedy that It must be plowed up and put In to some other crop. In cold climates the strawberries must be given some sort of winter protection. .The object of this Is not so much to prevent freezing as to keep the ground from that alternate freez ing and thawing which cause heaving of the plants. A mulch of coarse horse manure applied after the ground freezes Is excellent for this purpose, as It adds fertility at the same time. In the spring the straw can be raked up and removed. One necessary precaution Is to Be sure that the manure Is free from weed seeds. I have seen straw berry beds ruined because the mulch contained timothy hay In which the seeds were ripe enough to grow. Raspberries and Blackberries. Next to strawberries in Importance are raspberries and blackberries The best soil for blackberries Js about like that for strawberries, wli'le for rasp berries it may be a little heavier. The two kinds of raspberries most exten sively grown in this country are red and black. The red raspberry Is propa gated by shoots which grow up from the roots. One-year-old shoots are preferable for planting. The rows should be at least four feet apart, with the plants two feet apart in the row. Frequent and thorough cultivation is necessary to keep down the suckers which grow up from the roots. It Is a good plan toplow the ground between inn rows every spring. Black raspberries' do not send up root shoots. They are propagated by bury ing the tips f the shoots In the ground some time in Augt. These take root and produce new plants, which can be transplanted the following spring. The black raspberries are more rank in their habits of growth and should be planted farther apart than the red-varieties. Planting every three feet in rows seven to eight feet apart is a good distance. They should receive thorough cultivation In the same man ner as the red sorts. The application of a coat of manure between the rows In the fall will ma terially increase the yield of all small fruits. Pruning is also Important Blackberry and raspberry shoots bear but once, so in the spring all those which produced fruit the season be fore should be cut out. Black rasp berry shoots should have the tip nip ped off when they are about eighteen inches high. This causes lateral branches to form and greatly Increases the yield. The same treatment should be given to blackberries. After about four good crops of raspberries have been secured the patch should be plow ed up and a new one started some where else. Blackberries are usually propagated by suckers. The distance apart is about four feet in the row. with rows seven feet apart. The proper depth to set the plants is about four inches. It is a common practice to plant a row of potatoes or some other vegetable be tween tho blackberry rows tho first season. This cau also be done with black raspberries. About four or five blackberry shoots are all that should be allowed to grow up the first sea son. After that the number may be gradually increased. A well establish ed blackberry patch will last six or seven years. The yields that may be secured depend largely upon the fre- MS- WP I'Rl.

The simplest method of doing this Is by bending the -canes down along the row ami covering them with dirt. Currants and Gooseberries. A clayey loam soil, with plenty of moisture, Is best for currants and gooseberries, They do all the better for a little shade and are not so par ticular about cultivation as the other small fruiis. A heavy mulch of straw or coarse manure may be used to beep down tho weeds and conserve mois ture and cultivation dispensed with i Nit itvh A few bushes set along a fence row will turnish enough of this kind of fruit for the family. They are propa gated by cuttings, pieces of branches which are planted In moist earth, vTiere they take root. Two-year-old plants are best for planting. Being hardier than the other small fruits, currants n:id gooseberries will stand fall planting.

BY SMALL MARGIN IIOl.'SK GIVES A MAJORITY 12 FOK TI.'K KKPOHT. OF 20 REPUBLICANS OPPOSE Payne Predicts (Tiaos if Bill Is De feated Clark Says Revision Is Ueully I'pward. Washington, D. C. The House Saturday adopted the conference re port on the tariff bill, 195 to 183. Twenty Republicans voted against the report and two Democrats for it. The entire Pacific Northwest delega tion, except Polndexter, of Washing ton, voted for the bill. Mann of Illinois, In a Bensatlonal speech said he would vote against the report unless the rates on pulp and print paper as reduced by the house were retained. He declared that Canada would take such action regarding pulp wood and print paper as to place an almost prohibitory price upon paper in this country. . Payne appealed to his Republican colleagues to stand by the bill, say ing that if they wanted to drive their party into chaos they could vote against it. But he said it would be a delusion to vote against the bill upon the idea that the Dingley rates would be. continued. Payne estimates that the increase of revenue that would result from the enactment of the bill will be $40,000,000 annually. Average Rate Higher. Champ Clark, the Democratic leader, said President Taft had been imposed on by being made to believe that the conference report was really a revision downward. Clark sub mitted a table showing that the av erage rate of the report is 1.73 per cent higher than the average rate of the Dingley law. If scores of new items in the report, but not in the Dingley law, were added,1 Clark said, the average increase would be at least 2 per cent. Legislation was held up Monday by the hide and leather question, and the conferees were called together. Western Senators complained that the leather schedule, as arranged by the conferees with the approval of the President, is unfair to the states Interested in protected hides. The Westerners say they had been led to believe that all boots and shoes of leather were to be dutiable at 10 per cent, and that all harness was to be dutiable at 20 per cent. When the conference report was read, it appeared that the reductions applied only to articles manufactured in chief part of the class of which hides were to be made free sf duty. Senator Borah, with Senator Brown of Kansas, had an hour's con ference with the President Monday night, and when they left they car ried with them Mr. Taft's promise that a concurrent resolution would be passed by both houses eliminat ing the "joker" from the shoe and leather schedule and that the duty on shoes and other manufactured leather goods would be redhced in accordance with the prevailing un derstanding of what had been done by the conference committee. TAFT ALLOWED TRAVEL PAY President (Jets Money for Tour by Senate's Vote. Washington, Aug. 3.
