All children, and especially little girls, should be under the parental roof before sunset is veiled in night. They are safer under mother's watchful! care, and they are separated from tile wickedness and vice which borrow the sable garb of night as a cloak to ruin and deceive. There are mean met^who have no more scruples than worthless dogs, and these fellows wait till night-tall to get in their work. Virtue is not safe ill their pathway neither has youth nor childish innocences the power to vanish the purpose of such villians. Therefore, children should be kept within the home circle, and admonished that to venture out on the streets at unseemly hours, is to run right into the very arms of danger. An exchange says that to preveut dogs fro,m killing sheep a device has been introdced which meets the case to a certain extent. It consists of a collar with sharp ends to the links, presenting a surface not unlike a roll of barbed wire. This is worn around the neck and the wool soon gets matted over is so it cannot be seen nor inconvenience or hurt the sheep. The fi*8t place a dog attacks a sheep is in the ne«k, and in the event of his attacking a sheep protected with a spiked collar as described, the spikdk enter bis jaws and make it uncomfortable tor him to' do any more biting. This may be somewhat of a brutal device but it answers its purpose admirably, and as dogs are naturally Intelligent, they only want to get hurt a few times by the spikes to learu that it is more profitable to turn aside when seeing the sheep than to attack it.

Reports are that there is mote than the u>ual crop this year and already preparations are being made by local sportsmen for a shoot. Several parties will start today for those portions ot the county where the animal is supposed to abound, and others have made arrangements to be early on the ground while the sport is best. Some Advantages of Good Roads. An exchange thus sums up the advantages of good roads: “They would make it possible for the farmer to take advantage promptly of the highest market, no matter at what season of the year. They would save him days and weeks of time which he loses every year wallowing through the disgusting mire of dirt roads. They would reduce to a minimum the wear and tear of wtCgons and carriages. - They would lesson the expenses in keeping harness in working order, and vastly less horses would be required in the country to perform the farmers work. They would require less expense to keep them in repair than do the dirt roads. They woulu make it easier for a team to pnl! several tons over their smooth surface than to drag an empty wagon thtou£h the mud. They would afford ready communications witit the outside world at all times of tlie year. They would spare the farmers mail) vexations and nervous strains. They wo«»ld practically shorten the distance to the local markets. They would increase the demand for suburban property, i They woul^ be free from dirt in | summer, and mud and ruts in fall, ; winter and spring. They would bring every farming community into closer social relations. They would make an evening’* drive a pleasure instead} of a vexation, as it is now. They would do away with the ab sured poll tax and supervisor syst* m in places where it is still In use. They would be, in short, the best possible investments to the taxoayers.
