A Dangerous Custom

Tacoma Globe; THE custom OF barring
ones head az a funeral has been the sablect
81 more or less discussion Of late. II Is n
very good thing for civilized humanity that
this discussion has arisen. There is little Ia

deal to he said against IL. Almost every man

cnce one or more instance where u ease Of
serious Illness. sometimes resulting fatally.
Is directly traceable to cold contracted by
standing with uncovered head at a burial
service. Respect for the dead is not height
ened by mere custom Of this nature. Often
the sincercst grief and respect Is that which
is entirely oblvious to external manifesto.
tion A continuance Of this custom will
only make more frequent the opportunities
for Its Observance. Let clergymen unite
with physicians In advising Its aboln,on.

A Deserved Rebuke

The North Yakima Herald says: I'VE
have always seen great many things to ad.
mire In Governor f. =. Ferry. but we canoo,
refrain from entertaining the opinion that
he manifested a large sized amount Of ran
and egotsm IN having his picture put on tho
new state bonds which were irecently issued
aud which are likely to DE In existence long
after the said Ferry becomes an Obscure
man" To which the Seattle Press replies;
THE Herald not only shows mighty little
respect for the executive Of this great state.
but u also betrays "a lamentable lack OF
knowledge Of how II happened that the Cow
errors portrait appears ON the new state
bonds. Governor Ferry had nothing 10 do with
thedesign In respect TO the portrait. except
that he acceded To the solicitations Of other
state officials who very properly thought the
first state bonds should have the portrait OF
the states first governor.

The Winter Care of sheep - 4 Word of
Advice About sheep Houses and
Shods-DireCtions for Keeping
Flock in Healthy Condition.

The sheep is furnished by nature with
warm covering, which is an ample pro-
lection against dry cold, so that except
in the case of young lambs, the single
element Of cold will be neither uncom-
Portable nor damaging. The housing of
the flock, therefore, need not be con-
structed with especial reference to
warmth, but ample shelter from rains
and sleet should be afforded. When
sheep ave allowed TO remain exposed to
storIus until the fleece has becH-&e satu-
rated with rain, il is at once changed
from protection against cold into an
uncomfortable wet blanket that is not
soon on easily dried, and becomes a source
of disease.
To keep afock healthy the sheep must
have dry feet. Where pigs would fatten
an muddy Enclosures, sheep would con-
tract diseases and die. Their outdoor
winter quarters should therefore be on
ground naturally dry, or mado so artifi-
ciaily, and from which the water falling
on it will quickly drain off. Not only
should their winter quarters be on dry
ground, but they will always be found
in the best general condition when pas
tured on uplands of rather thin soil In
rhe older sections Of this country sheep
raising can only be profitable on cheap,
rolling or hilly lands, with rather scanty
heritage, but ample area. They do not
flourish as well on rich soils, besides
such lands can be moro advantageously
used.
A sheep house or shed for winter pro-
lection may becheaply mado, from eight
cen to twenty feet or more wide, and as
long as desired. either as an ordinary
frame building or with straight sapling
posts set In the ground. The siding may
be of ordinary barn boards set upright
and without battening. The space for
the sheep below should be Just high
enough for man to walk about in with
out STOPPING. The floor overhead should
be Of matched stuff to prevent dust and
hay seed from falling through on the
sheep. Between the floor and the roof
should be sufficient space for hay, which
can be put in through door in the end
of the building that can be most conyen-
iently reached with a wagon. \ narrow
space over the hay rack is left untloored.
A manager or trough wide enough for
feeding grain, etc, should run the length
of the building near the back. Over this
is the hay rack. SO placed that the trough
will catch whatever falls out of the rack.
The front Stats should be smooth and
about three inches apart and incline back
ward a little, so that the dust and hay
seed will not fall on the head and Shout
ders of the sheep The back of the rack
should be Of smooth boards, at such an
incline as will cause the hay to settle
down against the Stats in front. The open
front should face to the south, and the
rain falling on the roof, whether of a
cheap construction or a more costly sheep
barn, should not drip from the caves, but
be led down and away from the premises,

Crates for Shipping Poultry.

In shipping fowls or light live stock of
any kind it is quite an object to have the
crates made as light as possible TO save
expressagp, says Country Gentleman
correspondent, adding that there is
nothing that makes better corners or
frame for such crates than the sticks
which are used to bind shingles together,
and which are usually thrown away.
Save them all for this purpose. You
will find them very handy and about
the right length. Crates should have
strong hoors, and the rest of them can
be made of old bagging, laths or one
inch wire netting, according to what the
occupant viii be. Wire netting, put
over a stiff, light frame, makes a fine
shipping coop for fowls.
