which the sheep pass their heads for the
fodder in the rack; b b are the long
boards; &C, fat bottom; d d, inclined bot
tom, and ee, Stats. The fiat boards are
about inches wide, and the inclined
ones, d d. are II inches. The length of
this rack will correspond with the length
of the boards used in constructing it,
and it will feed about two small sheep
for every foot of running length, but
for large sheep about 16 inches are re-
quired.
A modification of this rack is made by
covering tight with boards the part of
the Stats over the heads of the sheep,
thus preventing the hay-seed from
dropping down on their heads and wool.
An advantage is likewise gained by
separating the spaces for the sheep
from each other by mailing an inch
board upright for each space, leaving
seven inches opening for each sheep,
and thus allowing sixteen inches for
each, which would be required for large
breeds. (The upright boards at each end
would of course be only half as wide as
the others.)

"A heavy rain was falling and the
street car was crowded. a sweet young
girl entered and glanced timidly around.
Take my seat, miss" exclaimed the
hollow-eyed consumptive near the door,
seeing that the burly, beef-fed man sit
ting next to him, did not offer to rise.
"Thanll you, SIR" She replied. And that
sweet young girl with dripping gossa-
mer sat down by the side of the burly
individual and drenched him with cold
rainwater, while the hollow-eyed con-
sumptive hung on to a strap, dry and
happy. Politcness is it's own reward

some advantages over the one just de-
scribed. The front, from which the
sheep feeds. is vertical, so that the hay
seed can not fall into the wool.
The back side is boarded tight, and
has slope for the hay to fall down
against the rack. The feeding trough
is in front and separate, 50 as to be
turned over for cleaning. The attendant
walks behind and fills the space with
hay.

Trees In Winter.

Trees to many persons are attractive
only when they are clothed with leaves,
and many people whose interest in them
is considerable do not notice those Pc
culiarities which make it easy to recog-
nize one tree from another after the
leaves have fallen. But to the real
lover of trees they are equally beauti-
full and interesting at all seasons of the
year; and no one can pretend to know
trees we'll who can not distinguish the
different species as quickly and as easily
in winter as in spring or summer If
trees are considered from an ornamental
point Of view only, almost every one of
them has some special and peculiar
beauty which is only displayed in win
ter. The fine spray of the beech is seen
only at this season of the year, and
there is no more beautiful object in
nature than the delicate ramifications
of the American beech seen against tn 70
clear blue sky of brilliant winter day.
The sturdiness of the oak is only real
lied in winter, when the knotted
strength of it's limbs is not disguised
under their covering of leaves. The
birch is far more graceful and attract
i've object in winter than at any other
season of the year; and what is there
more stimulating to the Imagination
than to stand on a clear winters day
and look up into the marvellous structure
of ona of the great eims which, here
and there, still grow near some of our
northern rivers? The bark of all trees
appears, at least, more beautiful in win
ter than at other seasons, because the
eye, undisturbed by the contemplation
of masses of foliage, can then take in all
the details of its varied texture and
wonderful colo rs.-Garden and Forest
