Dogs as we n ThOnA. That the dog is a noble and saga clous animal and capable of being edu- I cated so as to be very usetul for some purposes will be admitted by all per sons. Observers generally unite in the opinion that the dog possesses a higher degree of intelligence than any other animal besides man.Some Ko so Lar as to accord him an additional sense to those possessed by man. One may doubt-or even repudiate half the dog I stories iublished, and still be forced to believe that dogs reason. No domestic animal can be taught to perform so many offices as the dog. None is oapa. ble of being changed to any equal ex tent by judicious crossing. None fur uishes as agreeable companionship to man. None displays as much emotion, feeling, gratitude, and tenderness as the dog. None occupies so prominent a place in the literature of all modern nations. But in spite of all these things the dogs that are,"ordtnarily found in the country are nuisances that should be abated in the shortest time possible. They interfere with the acknowledged rights of all men to "life, liberty, and pursuit of hapiness." They render I night hideous by their noise. They i obstruct travel by frightening horses, drivers, and persons who choose or are obliged to walk. They destroy the happiness of children who attend school or church. They harbor flea, dig up flower beds, devour little birds, frighten pets, kill sheep, worry cows, and spread the hydrophobia. They have no respect for life or property, and no regard for any of the amenities of society or any of the institutions of' civilization . They are the Ishmaelites of nhe Qntire brute creation whether wild or domesticated. Much of the comfort thiat rightly and vaturally be longs to country life iu destroyed by dogs, while nearly every branch of farming is injured by them. Horses have to be trained to go past the houses where certain dogs are kept, in the same inannea' they do when they are obliged to go In the vicinity of locomo tive or stationary steam engines. l)ogs have destroyed the sheep industry in a large number of countries in every state of the union, and what is worse they keep it deistroyed. They haive also sadly interfered with the dairy in terest by worrying cows, killing calves, and frightening tenns taking tilk to factories. In some sections they have renderd poultry keeping unsafe and have almost entirely exterminated some of the most beautiful and useful wild birds. Without birds every field, orchard, and garden Is full of insects injurious to vegetation. Dogs, dogs as we find theii in most country places, add nothing to the wealth or prosperity or comfort of the community, but (to much to detract from them all. 'hey o infinitely moro damage thain wildI beastA because their status is not clear ly defined. A man may kill any wild beast with impunity. In truth he is often encouraged to take paltis to do so, i on account of bounties offered to the I State or county. If he kills a dog how- 1 ever,that is vastly more dangerous than a wolf,he is liable to have lis stock kil led or his buildings burned in conse- I quence of his rliding tile neigh borblo ud of a constant source of' terror. TVhe dog question needs to be discussed by farmers and all persons5 living in the country. It also reqluires the attention I of legislatures and "'all other In author ity." D)ogs as we find them in the country belong to a species of ever growni vermim that shmould( be destroy-t ed. A Con~vmial liorsec. A D)ubuquc gentleman took a raincy I to a horse a few days ago, and after I somne bantering suiccettad in buying the anImal. it was a saddle horse-a neat, trim One, thought, to be just the thing. The purchaser started Out to try the qualities of' his new purchlase, I and came home1( coniniced that the horse3 knew far more than he gave him credit for on short acqua!ntance. At, the first saloon he overtook on the road tihe horse wvheel.ed and1( camne to a halt. .1ligs rider urged hln quIetly, then a little mor'e so, to proceed, but the animal would not. A fter coaxing himii for some tIme in short sentenees thesalioon~ keep er camne out and observedi. "You can't get, that horse away until you let him t ace you take a glass of beer." As a filial resort the beer wvas taken, wheni theo horse went oil as go-vd naturedly as? if he had been wvouind up for an eight (lay Journey, Just about the tiae the I rider got ever wonderinig at tihe 0odd ~ freak of the horse another salooni was reached. The horse's ears went for wvard, he hastened his pace, andi in a I brief time was at the door perf'ormiing C a counterpart of' lis recent exploit, .It was 'otind necessary to go through the , beer performance again, with the slame I satisfactory and surprising result, s This,was repeated at every saloon on the road out, seven miles ini the country and return. When the new owner of a the horse got back to the city lie called oni the former owner of' tihe horse to make some inquiry about tihe nmatter. lie felt happy when toldi thathle "nieed not drInk the beer It' hedlda't want to; all lie need( to do was togo through the I inmotions and the horse would be ier etly satisfied." The Sonnh African Diaunondi Fields. Thle diamonds of South Africa are found over many hiundredi square miles of' territory, They are mostly imbecddd in ferruginous gravel, and are found at depths varying from two to twenty feet below the surf ace, the usual depth be ing from two to six feet. In workIng the mines a claim or piece of groundt thirty feet square is ocenplied by two diggers, assisted by their black ser vants. They remove the loose blocks of stone, take up the gravel, sift it thoroughly, either in a dry state er with abundance of water, in a sieve rocked by a cradle. When the pebbles have thus beeni se'parated from the sand, f they are cleaned and placed upon the sortiDg table, to be caretully examined for the diamonds that may be among 1e n, AGRICULTURE. Do NOT NXOLCT YOUt WIeLLS. Friend you have a mud hole at your well? Go for it at once. Do not eat or )at or sleep till it is removed. Take a oe and dragout the mud and tiltu, and hen fill the hole with dry soil or sand. After doing this, shut out the pigs and poultry from the well, and. keep them ut. if the curb Is broken or rotted lown, treplace with a new one. After loing this, scrape away the grasts and iurlae soil around the well, and re plaee with a layer of sand and gravel. L, from the character of the land, your veli ever fills with water, out a ditch ix feet deep all around it, at the dis ance of a few yards, and have an out et from this to take off the water. The vater in the well will not, after this, lee higher than the bottom of tihe ditch. If your water Is iuddy and impure, brow in a peck of lime to purify It. If umalcule appear in the watar, throw u a half gallon of salt to make them iettle to the bottom. And it is worth vhile to take some pains to fix up some ,onvenience at your well. A bench to tet the bucket on while it is being filled tud a handy and easy way to get the wvater, and a smooth, ury path from the ivell to the kitchen-these things will nake so much easier the task of your vives and daughters. F4armers, do not leglect your well a single day longer, )ut see that all about them is neat and idy, aid determine to keep it so. PioucrION AND (EPING OF EoS jfteituntms it 1is a mutter of import ;anjce to keep eggs for a time. When prlces rule low, they may be preserved i coimparadve fre6lness for several 6veeks, even in July and August, it are be taken to place then on end as oon as brought in from the nest. One tiot iecustoned to handling and care of >ggs can form no Idea of the shortness >f time required for the yolk of an egg .o settle on one side, where It adheres .o the,shell and quickly spoils in warm iveather. Always place the egg on Lhe big end. I have tried both ends, tud have decided in favor of the former position. Eggs should be gathered rrom the nest every day, and where 3here are many hens kept, twice a day. It matters not for what purpose we de mire eggs, the hlens that produce them qhould ill ways be young and healthy. Eggs that are to be kept for any length >f time should always be those from Voung liens, or if two years, old, only rrom those in perfect health. If this rule is closely observed by the breeders who export, eggs for hatching, from )Ie locality to another, there will be )etter satisfaction givent. It is of nuch importance tha1t the eggs have perfect shells, and a hen not In per lect healt,h may4 drop her eggs reg ,ilarly, yet the shells may possess Imi )erfectiois that render them unfit tlther for keeping or hatehing. CICKEIcEN Lca.-Vermin Is the post )f pourtry, and when chieken houses ret thoroughly intested, it is not an .asy matter to clear them. If the house ti washed with a hot lime wash, and ,he roosts are rubbed with a mixture of <erostne oil and lard, the lice will be nade uncomfortable, and if this treat unet is repeated a few times, the house md also the fowls will be quite free roni vermin. If the house Is, as all )oultry houses should be, detached roni arna and other buildings, it nary be fumigated. Shut it up tight im close overy opening. Then place pan of live coals oil the ground (or if nust be a wooden floor, put down a bw shovelfuls of earth, or coal ashes, o hold the pan).

And ye suippiose the real point to get- at is, vhletber one can keep, his horses cheap r on some other pr'oduce than hay. L'his Is an exceedingly dillidult question o answer-it depends so much on cir Iiumst,ances. We shall not alstemnpt to usiwer it Iuily at this time, but will uerely say that, In our opinion, three ndi a-hall tons of corn would keep a orse a year in fully as good cond(ition a six tons of hay. We may estimate iso, that it will take three and a-half oils of oats to keep a hiorse a year. A mahlei of oats weighs thilrty-tw o piotun di o that it will take over one0 hundred mid llft,y-tive bushiels and tiiree andi( a calf tons of straw to keel) a horse a car.
