SHEEP HUSBANDRY.

ing Flock.
Sheep are undoubtedly the best-pay.
ing stock kept, and when their enrich
ing and misunderstanding proclivities
are considered, it is questionable
whether any farm can afford to run
without a flock. The call from good
livers for fine lamb and mutton is on
the increase, and the time will never
come when wool, famous for its use
fulness in all ages, will not be priced.
Indeed, the lessened value of woolens
because of cheaper cotton is already
being reformed, for folks are learning
that to keep out cold and prevent sick
ness from exposure muslin cannot COM
pare with flannel. Were sheep only
available on certain soils, the industry
would not possess such universal prom
incnce, but they can, happily be kept
to advantage almost everywhere. eX-
cept on low, moist flats, and even here
a few could be fattened each year to
advantage. Remember two points
when starting a flock: Get the best you
can afford don't take culls under any
circumstances, and pay good price
for thoroughbred sire. A few extra
dollars invested in prime male will
often double the value of the whole
flock. Succulent food, rye, roots and
ensilage are good for sheep and espe-
cially so for weaving of nursing ewes.
These things not only increase the flow
of milk, but make parturition easier.
Stock giving steady and frequent re-
turns would be expected naturally to
require more care and labor than cows,
but such is not the case with sheep. In
deed, the shepherd of experience finds
but little time necessary for the care
of stock after landing season. Salt,
change of pasture, fixing of fences and
the occasional adjustment of bell
will be attended to, but free from dis.
ease, the returns will come satisfactory
ly and almost spontaneously. The
beginner in farming who must make
his living off the farm and have but
few outside expenses will find the
sheep q valuable aid. 1t furnishes in

penses. And while it lifts the mortgage,
it does not depletc the farm, but en-
riches it. Get few good ewes, full
blood buck, give them careful atten-
ton, good food and shelter and keep
at least a challl-on-the-b arn-d door tally

A SCORPION ON HEwATER.
Simple Experiment That is Performed
With n Little Camphor.

Simple Experiment That is Performed
With u Little Camphor.
Place on the surface of the water con-
tanned in large glass bowl several
pieces of camphor of unequal sizes in
such manner as to form the shape of
an animal-for instance q scorpion.
After a while the scorpion will begin to
move itself in the liquid; you will see it
move it legs as if it wanted to swim or
agitate it's tail convulsively.
Our scorpions swim on the water, but
partly submerged, which proves that
:he density of the the camphor is in
ferior to that of the water, but nearly
equal to it. The animal does not melt
in the liquid; camphor is therefore in
disSoluble in water If we had put it
into alcohol instead the effect would
have been the contrary, as alcohol dis
solves camphor. The several pieces
composing our scorpion remain placed
where we have put them, and adhere to
one another, which illustrates the force
known as cohesion. Finally, if the
scorpion moves readily in the water,
the cause of it is the well-known prop
erty of camphor to agitate itself on the
surface of water, as a small piece OF
camphor placed in a lumber of water
will in a short time display moveme uts
of translation and rotation on itself
These movements are due, according tc
some authorities to the recoil produced
by the escape of vapors; by others to a
mysterious force called superficial ten.

A Baby's Travels.

A Pittsburgh gentleman has been
studying the pedestrian abilities OF
young children. He began by attach
ing to child's foot, a marker consist
ing of an linked pad which would make
mark every time the child took step
The child was then placed in room,
the floor of which had been covered
with white muslin, and allowed to run
about as usual At night the marks
We're carefully counted, when it was
found that the child had made in the
course of the day nearly six thousand
five hundred steps. Estimating two
steps to the foot. this would make dis
lance of three thousand two hundred

Feeding Animal Meal.

What is known as animal meal is pre-
pared from meat taken from the
slaughter houses, dried and ground.
It is excellent for all kinds of poultry,
and especially for laying ducks. Avoid
feeding it too literally. A half pound,
once day, for dozen hens, is ample,
where the hens have access to green
food. Much of the animal meal sold
contains steamed bone, and is there
fore an excellent food for providing
lime for the shells. 1t is sold for about
three cents perp ound. Farm and Fire

Representation of Alaska.

United states whose people are without rep

effort is to be made this wipter 10 secure from
congress authority to elect delegate 20 repre-
sent this, in area At least, important section OF
the country. Just about year ago some of the
resident business mel tried 10 induce the gov
ernor of that territory TO order an election for
delegate To represent them in congress, but this
he refused to do. because. as he said, he ''has
power or authority except such a. has been
conferred by congress, either directly or by
implication, and all unauthorized acts are extra
official and void" IL is said now
that, as stated, the next move, and it is ex-
pected il will be strongly backed up, will be
upon congress itself The desire 10 have dele

ing some one near congress in an official capac-
ity 10 look out for the interests of the territory

deemed beneficial. Among the many things de-
sired is a sufficient appropriation TO carry ahead

of the territory. IL is claimed that these sur
veys are progressing too slowly Tor the require
naents of commerce, and that in the absence of
accurate charts for the use OF mariners ship
wrecks are of too common occurrence. But IL Is
thought that with delegate in congress to rep
