That the dog is a noble and saga
clous animal and capable of being edu.
cated so as to be very useful for some
purposes will be admitted by all per
sons. Observers generally unite in
the opinion that the dog possesses a
higher degiee of intelligence than any
other animal besides man.Some go so far
as to accord him an additional sense to
those possessed by man. One may
doubt or even repudiate half the dog
storiee published, and still be forced to
believe that dogs reason. No domestic
animal can be taught to perform so
many odices as the dog. None is capa
ble of being changed to any equal ex
tent by judicious crossing. None fur
uislies 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
uations. But in spite of all these things
the dogs that 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 liapiness." They render
night hideous by their noise. They
obstruct travel by frightening horses,
drivers, and persons who choose or are
obliged to walk. They destroy the
happiuess of children who atteud
schooler church. They harbor dea J .
dig up dower 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 ol
civilization . They are the Ishmaelites
of nhe entire brute creation whether
wild or deuiesticatcd. Much of the
comfort that rightly and naturally be
longs to eountry life is destroyed by
dogs, while nearly every branch of
farming is injured by them. Horses
have to be t rained to go past the houses
where certain dogs are kept, in the
same manner- they do when they are
obliged to go in the vicinity of locomo
tive or stationary steam engines. Dogs
have destroyed the sheep Industry in a
large number of countries in every
state of the union, and what is worse
they keep It destroyed. They have
also sadly interfered with the dairy in
terest by worrying cows, killing calves,
and frightening teams taking milk to
lactories. In some sections they have
reuderd poultry keeping uusafe and
have almost entirely exterminated
some of the most beautiful and useful
wild birds. Without birds every Held,
orchard, and garden is full of insects
injurious to vegetation. Dogs, dogs as
we find them in most country places,
add nothing to the wealth or prosperity
or comfort of the community, but do
much to detract from them all. They
do infinitely more damage than wild
beasts because their status is not clear
ly defined. A man may kill any wild
beast with impunity. In truth he is
otten encouraged to take pains to do so>
on account of bounties offered to the
state or county. If he kills a dog how
ever,that is vastly more dangerous than
a wolf,he is liable to have his stock kil
led or his buildings burned in conse
quence of his ridding the neighborhood
of a constant source of terror. The dog
question needs to be discussed by
tarmers and all persons living in the
country. It also requires the attention
of legislatures and "all other in author
ity." Dogs as we find them in the
eouutry belong to a species of over
grown vermin tiiat should be destroy

A Convivial Horse.
A Dubuque gentleman took a fancy
to a horse a few days ago, and after
some bantering succeeded 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 ot his new purchase,
and came home convinced that the horse
knew far more than he gave him credit
for on short acquaintance. At the first
saloon he overtook on the road the
horse wheeled and came to a halt. lli 9
rider urged him quietly, then a little
more so, to proceed, bnt the animal
would not. After coaxing him for some
time in short sentences the saloon keep
er came out and observed. "You can't
get that horse away until you let him
see you take a glass of beer." As a
final resort the beer was taken, when
the horse went ofl as good naturedly as
it he had been wound up for an eight
day journey. Just about the time the
rider got over wondering at the odd
Ireak of the horse another saloon was
reached. The horse's ears went for
ward, he hastened his pace, and in a
brief time was at the door performing
a counterpart of his recent exploit. It
was :ound necessary to go through the
beer performance again, with the same
satisfactory and surprising result*
This was repeated at every saloon on
the road out, seven miles in the country
and return. When the new owner of
the horse got back to the city he called
on the former owner of the horse to
make some inquiry about the matter.
He felt happy when told that he 'need
not drink the beer if he didn't want to;
all he need to do was to go through the
motions and the horse would be per
lectly satisfied."
The South African Diamond Fields.
The diamonds of South Africa are
found over many hundred square miles
of territory, They are mostly imbedded
in ferruginous gravel, and are found at
depths varying from two to twenty feet
below the surlace, the usual depth be
ing from two to six feet. In working
the mines a claim or piece of ground
thirty feet square is occupied by two
diggers, assisted by their black ser
vauts. They remove the loose blocks
of stone, take up the gravel, sift it
thoroughly, either in a dry gtate or
with abundance of water, in a sieve
rocked by a cradle. When the pebbles
have thus been separated from the sand,
they are cleaned and placed upon the
sorting table, to be careiully examined
for the diamonds that may be among
tl e u.
AGRICULTURE.
Do NOT NEGLECT YOUR WELLS.—
Friend, you have a mud hole at your
well? Go for it at once. Do not eat or
eat or sleep till it ia removed. Take a
iioe and drag out the mud and 111 to, and
then fill the hole with dry soil or sand.
After doing this, shut out the pigs and
poultry from the well, and keep them
out. if the curb is broken or rotted
down, ; replace with a new one. After
doing this, scrape away the grass aud
surface soil around the well, and re
place with a layer of sand and gravel.
If, from the character of the land, your
well ever fills with water, cut a ditch
six feet deep all around it, at the dis
tance of a few yards, and have an out
let from this to lake oil the water. The
water in the well will not, after this,
rise higher than the bottom of the ditch.
If your water is muddy and impure,
throw in a peck of lime to purify it. If
animalcule appear in the wat°r, throw
in a half gallon of salt to make them
settle to the bottom. Aud It Is worth
while to take some pains to fix up some
convenience at your well. A bench to
set the bucket 011 while it is being filled
aud a handy and easy way to get the
water, and a smooth, ury path from the
well to the kitehen —these things will
make so much easier the task of your
wives aud daughters. Farmers, do not
neglect your well a single day longer,
but see that all about them is neat and
tidy, and determine to keep it so.
PRODUCTION AND KKKI'INO OF EGGS —
Oftentimes it is a mailer of import
tauce to Keep eggs tor a time. When
prices rule low, they may be preserved
in comparative freshness lor several
weeks, even iu July and August, it
care bo taken to place them on end as
soon as brought In from the nest. One
not accustomed to handling and care of
eggs can form 110 idea of the shortness
01 time required lor the yolk of an egg
to settle on one side, where it adheres
to tlie.shell aud quickly spoils in warm
weather. Always place the egg 011
the big end. 1 have tried both ends,
and have decided in favor of the former
position. Egg 9 should be gathered
from the nest every day, and where
there are many hens kept, twice a day.
it matters not for what purpose we de
sire eggs, the hens that produce them
should always be young and healthy.
Eggs that are to be kept lor any length
ot time should always be those iruui
young hens, or if two years old, only
from those in perfect health. It this
rule is closely observed by the breeders
who export eggs for hatching, trom
one locality to another, tluore will be
better satisfaction given. It is ot
much importance that the eggs have
perfect Shells, and a hen not in per
tect health mayJ drop her eggs reg
ularly, yet the shells may possess im
perfections that render them unfit
either lor keeping or hatching.
CHICKEN LICK. — Vermin is the pest
of poultry, and when chicken houses
get thoroughly infested, it Is not an
easy matter to clear them. If the house
is washed with a hot lime wash, and
the roosts are rubbed with a mixture ot
kerosene oil and lard, the lice will be
made uncomfortable, and it this treat
ment is repeated a few times, the house
and also the fowls will be quite free
lrom vermin. If the house is, as all
poultry houses should be, detached
from barna and other buildings, it
may be fumigated. Shut it up tight
and close every opening. Then place
a pan of live coals on the ground (or if
must be a wooden lloor, put dowu a
few shovelfuls ot earth, or coal ashes,
to hold the pan). Throw 011 a handtul
of brimstone, and get out quickly, clo
sing the door tightly. If me work has
beeu done thoroughly, no lice can be
lound at the end 01 a few hours. The
white-washing, etc., may be then done.
How MUCH WILL KEEP A HORSE. —A
horse weighing from ten to twelve hun
dred pounds will eat about six tons ot
hay, or its equivalent, in a year. And
we suppose the real point to get at is,
whether one can keep his horses cheap
er on some other produce than hay.
This is an exceedingly difficult question
to answer—it depends so much on cir
cumstances. We shall not attempt to
answer it tally at this time, but will
merely say that, in our opinion, three
and a-half tons of corn would keep a
horse a year in iully as good condition
as six tons ot hay. We may estimate
also, that it will take three and a-half
tons of oats to keep a hei sea year. A
bushel of oats weighs thirty-two pounds
so that it will take over one hundred
and fifty-five bushels and three and a
haif tons of straw to keep a horse a
year. It would take about-two acres
of good land to produce this amount.
SANITARY I'norfcßTiES OK TREES.—
Mr. KingzeM finds that
properties of the euealj ptus, are not
owing to its drainage powers, but to
the oil which is evaporated from its
leaves. The oil is practically identical
with the oil of turpentine derived from
pine-trees, and with most of the so
called essential oils or perfumes. All
these oils, when subjected to the action
of atmospheric oxygen, produce perox
ide of hydrogen and a number of cam
phoraceous substances having marked
antiseptic characteristics. W hat is true
of the eucalyptus is true also of the pine,
an immensely larger scale, for pine lor
e-ts are distributed freely over both
Hemispheres, and the oil of turpentine,
which is a natural product of the pine,
undergoes the same chemical changes
in the atmosphere as tl e oil of the eu
calyptus.
ONE spooniui ot c.mase-powdered
saltpetre to a pail of water will destroy
potato bugs, squash bugs and other in

For maggots that work at the roots ot
squash vines, pour about a pint of the
liquid at the root of each vine as soon
as the pests indicate themselves.
—To destroy plantains, dandelions,

REEVING MEAT IN HOT WRATH Kit. —
Great is the convenience ot a good re
frigerator! But many of us who live
in Lite country have to get along with
out such a convenience. Farmers'
families who often depend upon tiie
butcher's meat cart lor supplies of
fresh meat, are annoyed by the bother
and waste that conies of getting more
beef or mutton than they can conven
iently use up before It becomes tainted.
The most foolish waste is to eat more
of it than you need, with the idea of
"saving it"; the doctor's bill that may
result from overloading the digestive
organs, is not so good a show ot econo
my as the lreBh eggs you might coax
from the hens by feeding them any
excess of meat. The meat should first
be wiped and dry. Some sprinkle it
in all its parts with salt. Others use
black pepper plentifully, washing and
wiping it well betore using it, to re
move the pepper and salt, and then
hang It in the coolest place possible—
some 111 a well, others, in a cellar. Per
haps the best precaution is to w rap it
in a dry cloth and cover it with char
coal dust. Some say that wood ashes
would answer about as well as char
coal ; but I only know the virtue of
charcoal by experience. 1 have found
that charcoal will even remove aslight

is attained by frequently washing the

The remedial management of those diseases peculiar to women has afforded a large experience at
the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, in atfaptiug remedies for their cure. Many thousands ol
cases have annually been treated. Ir. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the result of this extended
exjHWlence, and has become justly celebrated for its many and remarkable cures of all those chronic dis
eases and
WEAKNESSES PECULIAR TO FEMALES.
Parorlte Prescription Is a powerful Restorative Tonic, to the entire system. It is a nervine of un
surpassed efficacy, and while it quiets nervous irritation, it strengthen the enfeebled nervous system,
thereby restoring it to healthful vigor. The following diseases are among those in which the Favorite
Prescription lias worked cures as if by magic, and with a certainty never la-fore attained, viz: Leueor
rha-a; exceaalve flowing; painful menstruation; unnatural rapprrwloiw) weak back; prolapsus, or
falling of the uterus; untevendon; retroversion; keurlng-down sensation; ebroale congestion. Inflam
mation, and ulceration; Internal bent; nervous depression! nervous and siek headache; debility!
and barrenness, or sterility, when not caused by stricture of the neck ot' the womb. Wtieu the latter
condition exists, we can, by other means, readily remove the Impediment to tbc bearing of offspring
(see Invalids' i*ulde Book, sent for one stamp, or tile Medical Adviser).
Favorite Prescription Is sold under a positive guurnntee. For conditions, see Wrapper around bottle.
•DO LIKEWISE."—Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of New C'astlc, Lincoln Co., Maine, says. " Five years ago 1
was a dreadful sullerer from uterine troubles. Having exhausted the skill of three physicians, I was
completely discouraged, and so weak 1 could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking
your 'Favorite Prescription' and using the local trcattucHt recommended in your 4 Common Sense
Medical Adviser.' 1 commenced to Improve at once. In three months 1 was perfectly curat, and
have had no trouble since. I wrote a letter to inv family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had
been restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them and enclosing
a stamped envelope for reply. I have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have descrlled
my case and the treatment used, and earnestly advised them to 'do likewise.' From a great many 1
have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the us© of Favorite Prescrip
tion, sent for lite 'Medical Adviser,' and applied the local treatment so fully apd plainly' l'd down
therein, and were much !tetter Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is sold by till druggists.
