EngliPh shepherds taetin doge for- a certain price per head, 1n this country-, where So many shepherd dogs are required, we mi,ght have dog seniittariee.--Qwen Victoria has a dairy of 60 cows, and she sells a good deal of butter, out the less she selis the more money she makes. Farming in America Is settl- • lug down to this, that noicrops ean be profitably grown Unless the yield is large, because hired help "is so dear that out of a small cro? noth- ing is left. A crop thet simply • pays- is not the best, but the one that pays best. —The London market gardenees pay $260 per acre yearly rent for the lend they culti- vete, and their &vertigo profit amounts to $500 per acre. ----The largest farm in Illinois ran its on- er in debt over $100,009; A, few years ago the first premium for the arm in Illinois was given to 40 acres, located near Bloom- n.—The Danish farmers make *batter: that may be safely shipped from Copenhagen to China and back again.

Here is a hint for our huttei makers. best one ingt The Scotch Collie. ' merely that it could pe form the part of the automaton, and register the moves of an unseen player, bile he held that it might take the elaCe, ofthe player, and fired out ner(ect play by itself. On ear showing signs of incredulity, he added that he conld-prove ehis to .be the case in respect of a- simple game, such as Tit tat -to ; and between Tit -tat -to and chess the difference would be one only of degree : if a conapara- -tively simple machine could-diseover pe ect play, and therefore provide, age list the possible -moves of an ad - ver a,ry, in the easier game, was there anything absurd in the -suppo- sition that a far more cotnplicated niachine right take into account the immense variety of the =nem' vres at chess? It thus appears that, ac- cording to Mr. Ba-bbge, machines might be made to find out perfect . play at chess, though the united labors of so many generations .of players have as yet failed, todiscover it. But, if theingenuity of machines can so far surpass the ingenuity of t miserable mortals in one depart'= Merit, why not in othera 7.

Would he have carried this reason- ing further, and, after substituting a few pieces of stt ina for his ordinary clothes, have defied the inclemency While ttaveling in England and Scotland, twenty •years ago, I was much interetted, on several occa- sions, in watching the shepherd dogs guarding the eocks arid execut- ing the commands of their emaster. They are taught to keep either eb)e- hind or ahead of the sheep or cat- tle, to scatter the sheep so they may feed to the best advantage; to go around them and mass- them to bring them to any spot indicated, -or drive them in any desired direc- tion, and Many other tnings. Many of the commands are by signs or metions, and others by the voice. These words the flock also soon learn to obey. The Scotch collie is acknowledg- ed to be the gentlest and most in- telligent • breed of sheep dogs. Drovers frequently cross the collie with SOE(10 fiercer breed, as their ob- ject is to hurry their 'stock along the roadto market, without regard to cruelty ; bat the farmer al Wa' Ye wants his stock handled gently, and, therefore, prefers the pure-bred col- lie. -I ara told that inIngland the shepherds have a fiXed price for training a young dog, and he is war- ranted to do certain things.

He frankly acknowledged that he and his " pal " took advantage of the absence cf the family to rob the house. In a side pocket of .his coat were found a valuable gold watch and chain, belonging to Mrs. Perkins and also a quantity of sil ver forks and spoons, all of which he had secured before the unex- pected return of Major Perkins. The itedy was taken to the Town Hall where it was visited by hun- dreds of people. It will probably be sent to the dead man's friends; in Dundas, if they can be found. The melancholy affair created the most intease excitement in the usually quiet village, and the mat- ter WAS the subject of conversation in everybody's mouth. The accom- plice of the thief who was killed took to the woods after his escape from thehonse,.but a large number of citizens sta,:ted in pursuit of him, and his early capture is almost certain. —Detroit Post, May 31.
