Sells Brothers are always doubly well

Ostriches unrivaled; their pair of Lilipu-
tlan Cattle the most curious dwarfs from
the fiocks of Fairyland, and their Hair
less Horse genuine wonder. With
them, also, in airy flightsand bewitching
poses, comes Cyrene, the most noted and
emotional of all Spanish dancers, whose
presence is most fascinating innO-
vation. The general attractions are COM

PURE WATER SUPPLY.
Why It Should Receive tho Most Careful
Attention OF Farmers.

Attention Of Farmers.
The law that governs water, the ve-
hic1e which transports the energy OF
the soil into and through the plant and
animal, and the harmonious operation
of this law. in conjunction with the law
of nutriment, should receive our care
fu! attention. AS water is the sub
stance which carries all food for plants
and animals into and out of circulation,
it becomes of the utmost Importance.
If the laws which govern all else be
practically known and the knowledge
of the part which water plays in
growth and production be wanting, our
efforts will not reaeSA the highest sue
cess. 1t is not enough that water il
present in suitable quantities. it must
be palatable and easily accessible: just
enough and not too much. Better
shortage of food than of water. better
irregularity- in feeding than in water.

But no matter how much nutriinent
may be stored or otherwise present, il

not only can no work of nutrition. be
done, but the system Immediately be-

So to the dair.ymap may say that II

WASHING SHEEP.
A Protest Against Cruel But Very Pop
ttar Practice.

A Protest Against Cruel But Very Por%
uiar Practice.
The time for washing sheep will soon
be here, and sheep raisers will be COM
pclled to construct pens and washing
places and drive their sheep mile or
two over 4 dusty road thereto and
souse them into the water and then
drive them back over the same dusty
road, the wool being in no better con-
dition and the sheep in much worse
condition than before the perpetration
of the farce. 1t is a positive injury to
sheep to be chased and jammed around
in pen and then uncercmoniousiy
soused into the water, 1t is fruitful
source of colds which often lead to
catarrh and consumption. Wool can be
washed better and cheaper after it has
been taken off of the sleeps backs by
the manufacturer of woolen goods.
BUYERS cannot tell washed wool from
unwashed in many cases, which is
ample r.oof that the practice is a farce
and should be Abandoned. Brother
farmers. is there no way to put stop
10 this useless and cruel practice?

way may be discovered soon. Whose

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

ARE your stables clean? For the
sake Of those who have to drink the
milk-as we'll as the cows-be sure they
ore clean.
MIXED pasture grasses. including clo-
yer, make a well-balanced summer ra-
ton; but little dry food is relishcd
exceedingly, and is beneficial. Some
of the best dairymen not only feed
hav, but corn meal and bran. or some
other form of grain, all summer, to ad
vantage.
SHADE is almost as important in
summer as shelter from cold in winter.
See that the COW has plenty of feed
and clean water while in pasture. SO
that she can fill her stomach in n
short time and then lie down in the
shade. chew her cud, enjoy herself aud
make milk.
In case of trouble about chnrning,
look first to the temperature. a higher
or a lower one may remove the trouble.
Next, see that the cream is not too
thick If it is, thin with water of the
churning temperature. Using SKINNED
milk would only be adding more of the
same viscous material. But if the
cream is not viscous, but simply lacks
huiditv. the addition of skimmed milk
may do.
THERE is sometimes difficulty in get
ting the butter to float in a mass on the
top OF the buttermilk, SO that the
latter can be readily drawn off without
earrying the butter with it. little
brine or a handful or two of salt stirred
into the mass is said to be remedy.
The milk may be drawn off through n
strainer, or the butter skinned off
from the top of the buttermilk and re-
turned to the churn-providcd the milk
Is drawn into clean vcsscl.-Farm,

Judgment in the Dairy.

One popularity of cows must be borne
in mind by the dairyman. COW pr
on short rations Immediately falls Off
in quantity of milk and is not so easily
brought back to a full flow again, but
it takes a long course of regular feeding
to bring her to her best quality and
quantity. Poor feeders often milk
cows for years without dreaming what
they are capab BILE of, either in quantity
or quality. To develop the normal, or
best possible production, requires
months and sometimes years of careful
feeding on the food best adapted for
milk and butter. This is where care
and Judgment pay in the dairy. N ~

BEES IN THE SPRING..
Proper Care of the Insects at a Critical
Time of the Year.

Proper Care of the Insects at a Critical
Time of the Year.
The time is near at hand when bees
need considcra BILE attention. A success
full honey crop depends to a great cX-
tent on the proper care of bees from
now until the main harvest begins.
During the first warm days of spring.
when the bees are flying freely, every
colony should be carefully examined.
Brush out all dead bees and dirt that
have accumulated during the winter.
Tuck them up warmly and snugly. 1t
will pay to pack all unprotected hives,
even in an old store-b-oN, well protected
from rain. If any colonies are queen
less unite them with other weak ones,
giving two or three frames or more to
each. 1t will not pay to buy queen
for such a colony unless it is exceeding
ly strong. and you have no weak ones
to unite it with. Look well to the
amount of honey each one has. Ten
pounds may be enough to last them uu-
til the harvest begins. and it may not.
Much depends on the fertility of the
queen and the time of the harvest.
Never allow bees to get short of stores
in the spring. Some people think if
they can't gather enough honey after
the first flowers bloom they can die.
This is great mistake. They can con-
sumo little or much honey. The more
honey consumed the more bees. Get
the bees, and you will get the surplus,
# the flowers yield it.-k- S. Mead in
