They not only make the tree very I'M

When lambs have been chilled, and
have become entirely helpless, have
found it good plan to immerse them,
except the head, in luke warm water,
adding warmer water from time to
time, until as warm as one can bear
comfortably. l have often seen lambs
that could hardly move. able to follow
the sheep in an hour after this treat
ment.
Now that the days grow long and
warm, it is an excellent time to spread
out on the line our heavy blankets and
quilts, which may not need washing,
and give them long days air and sun
bath in a good strong breeze. Sleep is
SO sweet and refreshing in wellaired
bed, and so many neglect it, beyond
throwing open window for an hour or
two in the morning before making up.
This is important but it is not enough.
Thick bed coverings are great absorb
ents, and though they may not look as
soiled as your delicate pieced quilt does
they need an air bath as much as that
does washing,
Prof. Cook gives the following recipe
for bee feed: Six pounds sugar; one
pound extracted honey; three pounds
water The water is first boiled; then
sugar and honey added, and all boiled
for a moment together. As soon as 1t
boils, remove from the fire. The adj

found to suffer from dysentery when
using honey for food, while with sugar
syrup they do not suffer at all. The OBJ
ject of mixing the honey is to prevent
crystalization or .granulation. l have
found that such syrup remains indefin-
itely liquid. This recipe can be made
good use of now that the bees in this
vicinity are suffering from inability to
obtain food during the recent rains.
The difference between the quality of
the f1esh-the one fattened on corn, the
other on alfalfa, is this: That fattened
on alfalfa is made up of cell tissues,
where the flesh and muscles are de-
veloped in a much larger proportion
than the fat and fatty tissues. And
then there is less tending to fevers; the
stomach and intestines of the animal
are always healthy while the flesh is in
progress of growing. In the feeding of
corn, as it is now practiced, the aim is
to produce weight and fat only with
but little regard to the lean-that por-

gainsaying that the carcass of beef that
carries the heaviest kidney is not always
the sweetest, nor the most profitable

Directing to an item in these columns
on Sunday. April 26 last, on the injuri-
Gus effects of using cayenne pepper
The item originally appeared in the
Popular Science Monthly. We neither

or any of the subjects mentioned in

our readers for what they are worth.

things" and only adopt those which
prove to be good. Our Logan friend
says that his brother and he were cured
of violent pains in the chest and side,
and heartburn, after having tried every
other remedy they could hear of. They |
took the 'condiment" in No. 2 capsules, |
using one each at morn, noon, and |
night. for one and two weeks respective |

not question his assertions, in fact our |
personal belief is that the use of strictly |
pure cayenne pepper, incidentally, is |
beneficial in many ways. We also agree |
with the Popular Science Monthly, that |
when cayenne is used as "condiment"
it is injurious, for there can be no ques- !
ton but that using hot drinks and solids |
of all kinds is contrary to good health |
whether in the shape of meats, vege- |
tables. soups, spices, havors or alcohols, |
etc. We have found great difficulty |
in obtaining strictly pure cayenne pep |
per, most of what is sold under that |
name being vile adulterated, if not de-
Ieterious rubbish. We advise all who
are satisfied that cayenne pepper, used
is beneficial, to,continue its use
for it is frequently being demonstrated
that what is one mans poison is another

Every one who keeps poultry does not
have shade for the hens in summer.
The poultryman cannot sit down and
wait for trees to grow, nor can he al
ways select a shady location. The best
method in such cases is to grow some
thing that will answer the purpose. If
the climbing plants can be protected
while young, and until they get out of
reach .of the hens, few strong strings
will lead morning glories, lima beans, or
Virginia creepers, to any conceivable
shape, or they may be planted four or
i've feet from the bottom of the fence,
and the strings inclined upward to the

plants and the fence for shade. Among
