Sheep should have airy, well-httered
sheds, with plenty Of sunshine, and protect
ed from snow. One great advantage Of
keeping sheep is to convert straw into man
ure. Heace much litter is usually strewn in
sheep sheds, to the distress of the sheep, un-
less they have hard places to lie upon, be-
cause their feet and legs get so hot A few
platforms, like old doors, which can be
shifted about every few days by turning over,
will be greatly enjoyed, and will promote
both health and comfort

Is an able expose of the coelie system,

tons of life and crime in Chinatown are
vivid and accurate. and the fairness OF the
writer, who is an old Californian, renders
his expressions exceptionally valuable;
His views on the subject are sound ana

Feeding Pigs.

There is popular idea that almost any.
thing will do to feed pigs with, refuse of
every kind being thrown to the pig stye.
The wisdom of this course was illustrated in
an action tried at the Swindon County Court,
Eng. Lord Bolingbroke's head keeper kept
pigs, two of which he sold through an agent
to man in the village in which he resided.
The fesh-thS pigs were sold dead bv the
carcass-appeared perfectly satisfactory, and
was cured in manner which was admitted
to be proper, but when converted into bacon
the produce had most extraordinary smell
and appearance, resembling, to use the
language of some of the witnesses, the ap-
pearancc and taste of tallow. and when ex-
posed to the air turned yellow. 1t was not
disputed that the pigs had been well fed. and
il was proved they had been fattened on
barley meal, but it was also admitted that the
paunches of large number of rabbits had
been thrown to them, the result being that
the flesh was impregnated with the peculiar
odor attaching to rabbits and ground game
generally. The learned judge was of the
opinion that there had been no attempt to
deceive in the matter, that the owner of the
pigs had fed them upon the supposition that
this kind of refuse would do them no harm
The result, however, proved the contrary,
and the purchaser was recouped for his loss
by verdict of Al, being about half the
original price. This fact should prove a
warning to those who entertain the idea that
any kind of food is fit for swine.

Dailp kennfbtr Journal.

The following plan is recommended as
an efficacious one to prevent COWS from
kicking: Take piece of rope half an
inch in diameter-an old one is better than
a new one. as it is not stiff and is easily
tied; make a loop in one end of this that
will not slip; pass this rope over the loins
of the cow in front of her two hip bones
pass the rope around her in front of the
bag, and put the other end through the
loop. draw it up moderately tight, and tie
it; then sit down and milk her, regardless
of her movements. This rope prevents
her raising her foot high enough to kick,
and she will soon give it up as An un-
profitable job. The first time the rope is
ever put upon the COW, time should be
given her to become accustomed to 1t.
and find that however much she jumps or
tries to kick she cannot free herself from
it. This simple remedy is worth many
dollars to anyone who has cows.

How to Shake Hands.

There are only two or three people
now living who can successfully shake
hands. There is a good deal of hand
shaking done through the country, ss-
pecially at this season of the year, but
only = very small per cent. of the
shakers and shakees know how to do il
so as to get the entire amount of sxhila-
ration out of it Some grab the hand
of an adversary in q quick. nervous
manner that scares the victim nearly to
death. while Others slide the cold and
slammy paw at you so that you feel the
same as when you drop q cold raw
oyster with vinegar on it down your
back. If you are shaking hands with .
lady, incline the head forward with .
soft and graceful vet half-timid move
ment. like a boy climbing a barbed-wire
fence with a fifty-pound watermelon.
Look gently in her eyes with q kind Of
pleading smile, beam on her features .
bright and winsOme beam. say some
thing that you have heard some one else
say on similar occasions. and in the
meantime shake her hand in a subdued
yet vigorous way, not As though you
were trying to make 4 mash by pulver-
izing her fingers, nor yet in too o
sentative a manner, allowing her hand
to fall with \ sickening thud when you
let co. Care should be taken also not
to hang onto the hand more than half
an hour in public. az bystanders might
make remarks. This is now considered
quite Outre and mandamus. Blu Nye's
