American Agriculturists Hnve Not Su ficiently Appreciate:! Their Wide Usefulness, Though It Is rec ognized In Europe. Tn England and Scotlan 1 farmc: learned long ago the v..lue of do^ to farm work. There the universal c. torn Is to have dogs daily do tin part tho same as trusty hired mou. Here in America, however, few fa: r. ers know the value of a well-iraine dog. We nie the losers hue., use o this fact. We will, learn, of cours< in years to come; and working d< . that are a daily help will replace tl countless farm help "misfits" now in posing on the farmer's generosity, It once happened that the owner c some sheep dogs worked them b.\c> i and forth among flocks of sheep ;. the same place where many farnu ; wero assembled In convention, Tin fanners witnessed the work the dog wero doing ns the sheep were move from barns to pasture, through pent gates and lanes. They were amaze, to find them so helpful and woudere.c at their intelligence. They saw then go quietly around the edges of a pas turo and gather in tho sheep fron far away, while the owner waited ai tho gate. They saw them herd the sheep along tho lanes, doing work twe men could not have done. And the) proilted by what they saw. They began to believe that the use ful dog will eventually be on most American farms, when we get to studying more carefully for ways and means to save work and expense. It may bo on some large estates many different men are employed, thereby leaving little opportunity for anyone to train a dog. But on the average farm this is not the case. Any farmer tired from a hard day s toil would praise the faithful dog that would go the mile or two into the pasture to bring in the cows while he prepared the feed for them. No referenco Is made to the dog we find on many farms that knows only enough to run and snap at stock, driving them in whatever direction they care to go. Such a dog is of little value, for ho drives the stoch away as often as he brings them hack to the pen they have left. Such a dog might have developed Into a good one. It was tho fault o* the mnster that ho was never trained. Bet no man for get bow important it is to have his dog well trained and carefully edu cated to do his bidding. The green untrained dog is like tho unbroken colt or the new hired man. Neither is good as a real helper until taught to do as you wish him to do.?Farm and Fireside. Why He Was a "Sucker." Willem K. Mason of Chicago, nt a banquo' given to lawyers and poli ticians, was called upon for a story and told tho following: "A well-known Illinois politician was speaking at the same banquet with a governor of New Jersey some years ago. The Jersey governor went into exhaustive figures as to the wealth, agricultural and manufactur ing resources of his own state. In fact, he seemed to lack terminal facil ities, for he talked about forty min utes. "Before ho sat down he said: 'I am to be followed by a silver-tongued or ator from Illinois, and I hope before he sits down he will tell us why they are called "Suckers." ' "Our friend from Illinois said: 'Mr. Toastmaster, when I heard the description of the agricultural prod ucts of New Jersey I was .almost ashamed to come from the corn belt of Illinois, and when he told n? of bis state's manufactures, it made Illinois look small, but I noticed, Mr. Toast master, that you and the gentlemen about you seemed incredulous?in fact, I could tell by your.expression that you did not believe a word lie said. I want to say to the governor of New Jersey that I believe every word he said, and that is tho reason I am called a sucker.' " Blasting at the Canal. In the last five year.* the operations on the l'anama canal have required 40,082,860 pounds of dynamite for blasting, or an average of 8,010,670 pounds per year. Tho estimates for the year ending June [10, 1012, arc 8, 633,000 and for the 12 months follow ing only 3,086,600, Tho comparatively small amount for the latter Is duo to the approaching completion of the ex cavation work, Which Will make the total of dynamite used over 62,000,000 pounds. Beckoned by tons, thnt will bo 2G.000 tons, which sounds bigger or smaller according to tho mind of the person reading It. For the coming llHcal year the esti mated need of other materials for blasting Is 328.000 blasting caps, 1,840 pounds of insulated tap*-, 10,000 fe^t of connecting wire, 655,800 feet of lead wire, 627,700 feet of electric fuses, 36,000 feet of triple tape fuse. Overfeeding. A lot of peoplo eat too much and a lot more don't eat enough. Some stuff till there isn't room for another swal low and then eat some more in be tween and then kick that thev haven't enough. There are those whose earn ings Just spill over In a thimble, but who expect results as if their weekly check covered all Manhattan. A good rule Is to leave off eating while there's still room for more, and fill It up the next time.?New York Press. WORKED NEW VACATION IDEA - -~~ Western Woman "Hired Out" to Her Husband, and Is Enthusiastio Over the Result. The following lot tor was written by a woman who lives on a farm In Wyo ming: "To begin with, then, I'm a ranch er's wife, and was a fanner's daugbtef, so I know what It means to get up early and work till late. I've read a great deal about vacations, but uot i much about vacations for the woman on the ranch. "Most women who llvo on a ranch know something about horses, and can ; harness and drive a team. Now every ' one knows that to peoplo who have always worked with their bands Idle ness is not rest, and that recreation comes quicker and surer from a clnu\go of work; so I 'hired out' to my hus band. "We have 75 acres of alfalfa, and hero In the west men are scarce and wages aro high, so I hired a girl to do the housework and take caro of tho children, whlio I donned a pair of overalls, a jumper, a broad-brimmed hat and a pair of stout gloves, and went forth to take my vacation. "Tho first day I mowed, and tho first night I kicked levers and drove horses all night. 1 wasn't so enthusi astic the Becond morning, hut I mowed some more, and raked some, and that night I slept; and I slept every night that followed during the harvest, for I 'stayed with It' till the hay was in tho stack, doing team work altogether, and when wo were through my husband said I was 'the best man on the job.' "I was decidedly a better woman, for I had gained live pounds of llesh, stronger nerves, harder muscles, and a coat of tan that hasn't all worn off yet. "I told the girl that I was not to bo consulted about anything, so 1 shifted tho whole responsibility of the house hold and did Just as the men did; washed, ate my meals, and then rest ed till tlmo to start to work again. "My girl cost me four dollars per week and I made $12, which left mo a clear gain of eight dollars per week in cash, besides the other good things. I felt bo rested when 1 took up tho reins of tho household again that what had before been a task was now a pleasure. Keally, It did seem good to cook a meal once more, and I bad not thought It possible."?Woman's Home Companion, Had Given Him Wrong Banner. Charles H. Holden told tho following story at a banquet given to some law yers and their wives at Chicago: "A prominent educator of a co-edu cational institution recently told with evident appreciation tho following experience of a prominent professor of a celebrated university in New York citys "Tho professor Is blessod with a par ticularly energetic and progressive wife, who Is a leader in the suffra gette movement. When tho recent demonstrative procession was organ ized in New York she Insisted upon tho professor nddlng his influence to tho movement by participating in tho procession. He yielded and set out. The wife's prominence In the move ment gave her a place In the review Ing stand and she was mortally chag rined to seo tho professor, shame faced, straggling along, carrying his hanner in such a drooping and care less way that she could not even see what was upon It. "At tho flrBt opportunity her re proaches fell fierce and fast on tho professor, who finally managed to break In with, 'Hut, my dear, my dear, you really must not blame me; I had an awful time. What do you think that banner was? Imagine! It was a most horrible cartoon of a whisky soaked and bedraggled hum with tho motto, "This man can vote, why can't I? The Weak Spot. All the day's provisions except the butter were ordered by telephone. Tho housekeeper came to the storo to pick that out herself. "That Is a peculiarity of many women," said the grocer. "No matter bow long they have boon trading with a grocer or a butcher, no matter how reliable they may know him to bo, they mnko a hobny of one certain com modity on which they distrust his judgment. Everything else may bo ordered by telephone or through tho clerks, but they Insist upon coming to tho store and picking out that par ticular article. Some women want to sort out tho eggs, others muat tasto and smell tho butt. ?, or maybe It Is tho tea or tho coffee or the ohoc.so they arc suspicious about, It's a queer notion. If they can trust us In other things it stands to reason that we'd give a square deal all tho way through, but these doubting Thomases will take no chances." Proper Credit Given to India. The art of cementation, by which iron is carburlzed nnd converted Into steel on heating In charcoal powder, has been investigated by Kir Robert Hadfield in an ancient chisel of Cey lon, 1,600 years old or more, and he confirms the claim of India to the dis covery that has done more than any other to advance civilisation. The most complete collection of iron and steei vpeclmeng from 1,200 to 1,800 years old is in the museum at Colombo. The famous pillar of Delphi is * most notable ancient specimen of Iron. It Is a mass of wrought Iron welded into a sold shaft 23 feet 8 Inches long and weighing about six tons -a cred itable piece of work of at least six teen centuries ago.
