SHEEP DOG. TJaofalnw? Md Intelligence of th? WmXt Trataed Seoten Collie. Either toe greatest help or the great? est nuisance opon a sheep farm is toa Scotch collie, according to bis disposi? tion and training, In The American Cultivator is a picture ol a collie prize winner, with some description of the breed's accomplishments. The sketch ? .written by Mr. & L. Stewart, who says: Ose who cares or bas the opportunity to see a sheep fair, where numerous flocks in Scotland are brought for sale, and with no dividing fences but the dogs, may seo good work done. A sheep dog will pop out of his own flock into another, take the sheep by the ears OP mo over the backs of the other sheep, work the strayed one to tbe one side and bring him back to his Hock. The ?ducation of the collie is general? ly commenced when he is about 4 months old. He then commences to go about with his father or mother and the shep? herd. The pup, to the uninitiated eye, is composed mostly of a long, sharp nose, sharp eyes, a pair ot semierect ears and an inquisitive, mischievous look, four big legs, very little body and a long tail, with a few twisted, strag? gling hairs at the end. Though he is often fresh, he soon gets busy and watches his tutors and is soon about it, and by the time he is a year old is a 1 comparatively made dog; most of the difficulty now be:r?g to restrain his ardent youthfulness. There is always in a good collie a love of fen and mischief and a great tendency to play little prac? tical jokes. The shepherds say that the most mischievous dog generally dis? plays tho most intelligence. The fore? sight of collies is only ono of their ' COLLIE PELZE "WINNEIC many strong points, enabling them to anticipate trouble an^to ward off dan? ger and difficulty. * '.They have very acute memories and not much faith in any one but their own masters. They are inclined to he re? served, watchful and discriminating in whom they allow about their homes in the absence of the master. He is to them their'all in all, their friend, their commanding officer, whose slightest wish must be obeyed, and it is general-, ly without question or hesitation or consideration of trouble involved. But? tha dog must have kind 'treatment and justice. No collie does good work for a cruel or unjust owner, and a good dog is a sign of a good man. Ju training collies do not strike them with the band to correct faults, as it mars the chief beauty of a well trained collie, in that ha should know signs by motion of the hand. If he is chastised by the hand, it makes him afraid cf it. If it xs necessary to correct him, tie him up and scold him, which,4 to his sensi? tive nature, is enough. Do not hit him. Teach all yo? can, keeping is mind that you want a friend and a helper, not a half cowed cur. It will not be ont of place to mention some of the necessary points of a good collie. Color is largely a matter of taste. The collie should have a sound, solid, active frame, fitted to run or jump. His coat in-the rough coated variety should be long, rather hard to the touch, with dense, weather proof underfur. The hair or brush and the frill around the neck should be long and well developed, the head long, narrow, flat on top, the eyes small, sharp and piercing, with a very cute expression, the ears erect, with the lops falling forward, and as small and elegant as possible. Longhorn Disappears. Now that Texas Longhorns are disap? pearing so rapidly and high grade Shorthorns, Hereford and Black Scotch cattle are so common in the southwest as well as in the western range country, it will not be ?eng until the terms "Texas" and "westerns" as applied to cattle will lose their significance. Already thousands of# highly bred Texas, Arizona and New Mexico calves are being sent to the feed lots and pas? tures of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois before they are brand? ed, and of course they lose their identity completely. The year opened with empty feed lots and bursting corncribs, and men went in search of cattle to sections never be? fore called upon by people in the corn belt One result of this was the scraping np of a large proportion of ' undersized and poorly bred animals. Another was to make the general cattle shortage seem much less than it really was by massing the feedable supplies of the country in Ina corn belt. Large numbers of cows, heifers, oxen, bulls, stags, yearlings and calves which ordinarily would have been allowed to shift for them? selves were put on full corn feed. For this reason the breeding of the cattle marketed dori?g the year was far below the average, while the feeding was bet? ter than usual owing to the cheapness and abundance of corn, much of which was too soft to keep well and fit only to feed.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Properly roasted or braised in stock, . fresh beef or calf's tongue is delicious meat It is not remarkable for its nutri? tious Qualities; but, like the tenderloin of beet the meat is of good travor if it is carefully cooked and seasoned, and it is always of melting tenderness. Select a fresh beef tongue for roasting. Wash and trim it thoroughly and season it with sall; and pepper. Wrap a paste around it made ol a pint of flour and a cupful of water: Boll out ' this paste thin and wrap it around the tongue. Lay it cn a meat rack in a dripping pan, wita a pint of boiling water. Boas? it for about two hours. Keep the surface of the paste from drying too hard or burning by basting it with the boiling water in the bottom of the drip? ping pan. At the end of this time re? move the paste. It is of no further value. Loosen the skin of the tongue and peel it off. It should come off easily. Lay it back in the pan, rub ie freely with butter, dredge it lightly with fionr and pour a little rich brown stock in the pan under it to baste it with. Boast it basting it often, until it is weill browned. Take it up. Add mushrooms to the brown gravy in the dripping pan, thicken ii and serve it with the tongue. The mushrooms, of course, may be omitted, but they add a great deal to the Saver of the tongue. Fodder Corn For the Lambs. Planta bit of fodder com, none of the sweet kinds, in readiness for the weaned lambs by and by. It is food and cool shelter for them. Plant in rows 30 inches apart and plant ten inches apart in the {rows. By using the succeeding early kinds one may have fresh feeding all through the summer and up to frost. Before the flock is turned out for the summer the feet should be put in the best condition. The sole should be pared and the toes clipped; otherwise there may be trouble with sore feet-Ameri? can Cultivator. Ny - live Stock Points. We cannot commend too strongly to live stock breeders the planting of for? age crops. If in the fall and early win? ter one has not plenty of clover to feed breeding ewes, the best substitute, is a mixture of oats and field peas un thrash? ed. They bring on the winter lamb to perfection both before and after its birth. The peas supply nitrogen, which is the strong component of clover itself. An excellent way, perhaps the best way, to mix the peas and oats is to sow them together in the field, two bushels of oats and one bushel of peas to an acre. Cut and cure like hay. Lambs very soon learn to eat When you are hurrying them on for market, give them so soon as they begin to eat in addition to their mothers' milk a mixture of cornmeal, oats and bran. Put it in a creep where the grown sheep cannot disturb it, but where the lambs can get it whenever they choose. It will bring them on amazingly. A good grain food for a brood mare with a celt is a mixture of two-thirds wheat bran and one-third ground oats. Add two tablespoonfuls cf linseed meal a day if the animal is constipated Tim? othy hay goes with the above grain diet If the mare is wanted for work, give her in addition a little corn. Hungarian grass makes an excellent food for horses and cattle. Sheep are also fond of it Hungarian grass hay may be sown early in June. Its nutri? tive value is higher than that of tim? othy, but not equal to clover. Cut this grass and cure it as soon as the first brown begins to show upon the heads. This is important. Themost nutritious coarse food .for heises is clover. It is, however, very bulky and a horse's stomach is compar? atively small. The horse fed cn clover hay must therefore have a liberal supply of oats to balance the ration, and give him enough to eat. With timothy hay wheat bran makes a good ration mixed with the oats. Here is Dr. C. D. Smead's prescrip? tion for worms in a colt: Go to the druggist and have him put up for you the following : Tartar emetic one-half ounce, granulated sugar three ounces; mix, divide into six powders. Give one in a feed of wheat bran every morning for six mornings an hour before any other food is given. After the last powder, before any food is given, give as a drench one-fourth ounce of Barba? dos aloes and a teaspoonful cf ginger.
