It is said that a hill for an act involving the wide tire sys tern for Iowa rondn is now pending in the legislature of that state. The Interest in this matter le gradually spreading and we believe with good •atise.—Ex. Sh«|»*r«l D og». In au Iowa convention, Mr Cownie spoke as follows on shepherd dogs: “It would he utterly impossible to tales sheep in Hcotland without dogs. One dog there is worth fifty men in tatting ears of abeep. It would bs absolutely impossible to take sheep away a p into the mountains and tramp them for twenty miles as they do without two or three dogs. A she pard there will take care of a thousand to thres thousand sheep. He will go at the head a whole dsy, walking along and he will have a dog behind them and perhaps one at sueli side and thsy will ksep their places sad when the sheep corns home at night thsy tire yarded down at the foot of tbs uoantaia or in some valley, As thsy go into the yard the shepherd counts them and it is surprising how fast a man »ben he has had ezperisnee will do that. Ha will count those aheap going into tha gateway, and coant thaw ten. twenty, forty, aiity. Many a time thera will he two or three sheep missing, and tha dog ts told to go and get those sheep and he has to go. It stay be sunrise next morning, bnt he doesn't eomo back until ha hriaga tha atieep with him. Hut it ia entirely different here. Tha sheep or a kept in Helds and thera is probably not the necessity for dogs that thera is there. Thera it would be an impossibility without dogs. No man can go aver those mountain* aad into tkoae recesses as a dog will do and aeareb for them as he will do; and whore there are, aa in Seotlaad, moantaiaa where different shepherds have their Hooks of sheep, they some times meat and got mixed and tha flocks will get together, and no man can separata them. Tke doge in varibly do that. I have aeon at a fair held at tha town where I waa born where thera ware aver twenty thousand aheap for sale, all kept ia small pens, probably one or two or a_ a_I_4 _L _ _ UT« HuamfM, nuwtw ‘mvj " -w he sold. A storm cams up and blew dowa the feaos, nr gates as they were sailed. They were made like tbs gates dove-tailed together as you see fences along the railroad, sod removed after the fair. A heavy storm blew dowa all those fence* and the sheep became mixed. Those shepherds would havs bees utterly powerless to sspsrsls the sheep without the dogs Each shepherd—and there were probably flfly or a hundred of them, that had come from ull purtu of the mountains with their sheep to be sold ut the fair- each oue took hit place and called his dogs, sud the doge went into the great Hook, picking out the sheep iu hunches of tea, tweuty and thirty, and brought them out, and the moment ihe\ came out the> were told to go hack sud bring nut more sheep. and those dog* worked there for hoars on a cold November day, with Ibeir tongue* railing out *e if it were in Juiv, to get those sheep, eud them wee never a shepherd among them Over there if von talk t<> a shepherd and tali him that he euuld gel aioug without a dog he would think yen dhln’t know *ti v thing about the ! sheep busincM, There were two cimumelance* .ciulU *4 from the holding of llw repulPluau convention laat ,s«tut>io wbph |* eon* in*|v« oi *l« ,a that ih>> nwuin mil to* i >*»> *d ili>c t* that a M.Kinlvi | delegation w »» *l« »’»*«! to ihe *i*>e I c*u vet* l oi ei it the olk«r is lh *i III wee lm msillaieir |.|h*w«d In n I iii b *nis lain with n |>c*> iptieti • of 4 in* hr* of water Hon J, K. Lnmaster of Tecumseh give* the following inter esting explanation of the rise of water In Ncbiuska wells: "A friend of none emigrated from Otoe county to Montana in the early settlement of that territory, and look up a ranch in Smith River valley, about seventy-five miles east of Helena The valley, winch is enloe cd by the Kelt mountains, is from six to ten miles wide and thirty miles long. The soil Is light and loamy, much like that of sourlhero Nebraska. Smith river is a rapid mountain stream about as wido as the Blue at Fairbury, but carrying I should think about four times as tnueh water. It has a course through the vslley of about fifty miles My friend’s home ranch is at the lower end of the valley, near whore tbs river enters an imparts ble canyon. On the opening of lauds to settlement under the desert land act, he took up a largo tract at the other end of the valley where the river issues from the mountains, having what is called first water and first right. When I was there in IH83 but little water was used and tbs river ran a full, strong stream tbroagh all its coarse. Hines then other lands have been brought under irrigation, so that now those within four or five miles of tbs head of the valley require more water than comes from the mountains. My friend Informs ms that the first year or two ttiu water was taken oat of tha stream was great ly rodaced below; then it began to ioorease and now at Iiih home muse the volume of water throagh the pear is greater and more regular than aver before. ‘‘Does nottbia in some degree fur nish an explanation of tha well known feet that water ia risiag to ward* tha surface and tha streams art swelling over a large portion of eastorn and southern Nebraska? An Immense erea of land has been brought under irrigation in western Nebraska duriag the last three years, and in that time the water haasunk deeper and the streams failed in the eastern and southern part of the state more than ever befsrs. Ths water has been taken from th* Platt* sad its tributaries and spread oat over the loots, fresb floodsd soil. It has disappeared mainly by percolation, and is now reappearing on th* lower lands near er ths Missouri. Ths Platte is a great river, running down through Nebraska on th* top of a ridge, the country sloping from it on both sides. Nature's great head diteh for the irrigation of a vast country. Its waters spread over the land io it* upper course and produee a wealth of vegetation. By the alow hot steady process of sespsge they raappear to multiply the harvests sad revive tke streams of the east ern and southern portions of our statu "—Stale Journal.
