E1change- why should there be
thought any more indelicacy in using
the name of a male than in speaking OF
= female animal? What possible obiec-
ton is there to the words stallion, bull,
ram, boar? We say man, woman, boy,
girl, without a thought of need of anv
evasion of the question of sex. Yet
many, especially in the presence of
ladies. seem to think it indicate to call
cur domestic animals by their correct
names. To which we add that it is
sGz2Inently proper to call everything by
ITS proper name. Those who consider
1t ethe' wise, should remember the
scTtptural adage that, "TO the pure all
Things are pure"
The winter care of the flock" says
Che PittSburg StOckmGn, sis where many
new Sheep-men make mistakes 1t is no
trouble to keep sheep through the sum
mer, but often inexperienced flock
masters lose half their flock in a single
winter. The reason of this is either !
caFeieSSneSS or ignorance of the nature
and requirements of sheep. The most |
successful winter care of sheep can not |
be undertaken without suit BILE Stabling |
This Is the first great requisite. There |
IS no use trying to keep a sheep thriving /
and ut the same time have its wool |
saturated with water with the tempera |
t1re down below Zero. Then, after see
aHg that you have sufficient shelter for |
your sheep, the next most important |
tlling is to see that there is an abundant |
Sapply Of hay or other forage. The |
hay and fodder must be early cut and |
put up in the very best condition. With 1
these preliminary preparations flock
o. sheep can be wintered safely, cheap
iy and prOfitably. With good nay and !
proper shelter sheep require but little |
grain. These facts alone should deter
mine every shepherd to provide proper
stabling for them as an economic
measure"
The following very important facts |
Tor poultry keepers are from the Prairie
Farmer: Absolute cleanliness is essential

sources, II you want to be certain of
EelIable fowls. Do not try to keep too
many breeds. If artificial stimuiants

they to that of debility as well. If grain
deep with straw, the exercise the fowls
get in Scr-tching for it, is good for
them. Egg-eating hens are best broken

IL they are very valuable, it is worth
aEying to cure them by putting cayenne
E'epper INTO an egg, paSting up the hole,
and letting the hen eat it. Give fowls
nleItl of sunshine in winter. They
can not do well if kept shut I'D in dark
or diIHly lighted house. Success in
poultry keeping, as in every other bust
ness, requires thorough knowledge of
stS details.
anaSmuch as blindness has frequently
resulted in babeSi from inflammation of
the eyes following childbirth, the fol-
owing directions are given to prevent
shat disaster: First, Immediately after
The birth OF the baby wipe the eyelids
and all parts surrounding the eyes with
soft, dry linen rag, and soon after
wash those parts with tepid water be-
Tore any other part is touched. If anv
discharge appears, separate the evelids
with the finger and thumb and wash
sut the matter by allowing a gentle
stream OF Iukewarm water to run be- !
tween them from a piece of rag held
one, two or three inches above the ewes.
