HINTS FOR sHEEP-RAIsERS.
Western Rural.1

western hurhl.
NATURALLY, as wealth increases, the
demand for finer grades of wool will
increase. There is no profitin growing
poor wool, anyhow.
BE CAREFUL not to feed too many roots
to the breeding eve. Roots are largely
composed of water and too much cold
water all understand is injurious to the
eve.
1T is of the utmost Importance that
the breed of sheep selected shall be fit
ted to the conditions under which they
are to be kept, else the wool will neces-
sarily be affected.
Wool must be equally strong the en-
tire length of the fiber, or necessarily
it will be of less value to the manufact-
urer; and wool of that kind can not be
grown unless the sheep is kept in good
condition all the time
SHEEP breeding and wool growing
must excite the enthusiasm of the flock
master, if the business achieves the
highest success. The man who is care
less with his sheep-pays little atten-
tion to them-will never get rich at the
business.
CosTIvENEss in sheep is very apt to
occur in winter when no roots or en-
silage are fed. In such case the value
of oil meal can scarcely be overesti-
mated. If the fiockmaster has no green
food we believe it will pay him to buy
some oil meal at any cost that anybody
will likely have to pay.
VOLUMES have been written against
the dog, but it must be concluded that
the dog is here to stay. Then raise the
dog tax and pay for the loss of sheep
killed by the dogs properly and we'll 1t
is nobody's business, we suppose, if the
community chooses to feed dogs on
mutton II the community is willing to
pay for it. The trouble has been that
it has not been willing to do that.

No Material Known to he Superior to
Cement.
For dairy-room floor, nothing is AL
perior to cement; it also serves an adj
mirable purpose in cellars, wash-rooms,
stables, etc. There is no secret about
laying excellent cement floors. Make
an excavation TO solid earth, which will
probably be nearly foot and fill with
stone or coarse gravel for a foundation.
Use a level and square TO make the
foundation level. Next mix five pal is
of coarse gravel to one of common ce.
ment. Mix dry, then wet slightly and
mix again thoroughly. Spread this two
inches at a time and tramp until solid.
There should be six inches of this; then
the floor is ready for the finishing coat,
or liquid stone as it is called, three parts
of coarse, clean, gritty sand to one of
Portland cement, thoroughly mixed
Sift and wet small amount at one
time, and spread an inch in thickness

is laid, go over it with the trowel, maxi

stamps has somewhat abated and will
probably remain quiet until some one
gets another generation enthused in
the matter. A man who once had a
large business in buying and selling
Cancelled stamps says that, like Othello
his occupation is gone. The last boom
in the stamp business was caused by a
paragraph, originally published in a
Massachusetts paper, stating that an
old lady was trying to collect million
cancelled stamps, for which a wealthy
friend had agreed to give her thou
sand dollars. In going from one paper
to another the item was fatally twisted
until it was finally announced that a
million cancelled stamps was worth a
Thousand dollars. Then there was rush
for cancelled stamps and the dealers did
a good business for time. There is
always slight demand for foreign
stamps as curiosities, and the price of
some old issues on account of theiI
scarcity run up to startling prices, and
equal the price for rare coins.-Texas

A GHOST THAT ROBBED.
Record of an Interesting Case in Soho
Square, London.

-
Square, London.
| A ghost robbed house in Soho
square, London, in the year 1904, in a
most approved or disapproved fashion,
and the case is worth reporting. A
gentleman who appeared to be quite
wealthy took rooms in fashionable
house in the locality mentioned, accord
ing to contemporary. A short time
| afterward he told his landlord that his
brother was dead, and asked permission
to bring the body to his rooms while
the arrangements for interment were
completed. Permission was granted,
and a handsome coffin arrived contain
ing what appeared to be a corpse in a
long white shroud.
The coffin was placed in the dining
room. Next night, after all had retired
save the ledger and servant maid, an
apparition appeared to the latter. The
apparition was a tall, specter-like, fig
ure, with every appearance of a ghost.
The maid rushed up stairs to her mas
ter and mistress room, followed by the
ghost, who mounted sentinel at the
door, contorted his features and waved
his hands. The maid crept under the
bed and her employers hid their faces
under the bed clothing.
At this time great noise like furni-
ture moving was heard in the house,
and the three terrified objects came to
the conclusion that the house had been
taken possession of by regiment of
spirits.
At last all was quiet, the ghost had
disappeared, and search was made
The house was found to have been
stripped of every particle of furniture
and all the valuable family plate had
gone, too.
No psychological society investigated
the phenomenon, but the police did, and
the ledger and sham corpse were both
hanged at Tyburn.-N. Y. Continent

MILK POISONS.
The Dangerous Elements of Ice-Cream
and Pastry.

and Pastry.
We are repeatedly startled by accounts
of the poisoning of a number of persons
who are suddenly attacked by illness
after eating food prepared in some
place other than the home. Sometimes
the injurious substance is distributed to
many places from some central locality,
like a caterers or confectioner's estab-
lishment, or numbers partaking of a
hotel dinner, pending some local cele-
bration, are stricken with some mys-
FERROUS illness; or at picnic or church
festival some miscreant is credited with
poisoning ice-cream.
1t may be noted that ice cream and
the so-called ''pastry-cooks' cream" are
more often than any other kind of food
localized as the source of mischief
This fact is significant. 1t is well known
to scientific physicians that in milk
more than in any other animal food
substance, there is field favorabl for
the development of those poisons of pu-
trefaction denominated ptomdtnes.
The use of milk in the three articles
which most often seem to be this source
Of danger clearly indicates the sub
stance as the first cause of trouble.
Scientific investigation of the sickness
produced in widely separated localities
shows identity of symptoms and results,
thus clearly proving its common origin.
This was specified in Berlin by DIR.
Brieger, and in America by Prof C. f.
Vaughn, as an active poison present in
stale milk, cream, and cheese, and now
known as tyrotoXicon. 1t has been
found in sweet milk not properly cooled,
in oysters stewed with milk, in cream
puffs, and in old cheese, thus directly
pointing to its habitat in milk. In most
instances the illness has baen traced to
some such condition as the mingling of
milk over a day old with that newly
drawn, the use of milk or cream over
twentyfour hours DID, the use of uten-
sils imperfectly cleaned, the use of
milk kept in damp ill-ventilated places.
The poisonous elements called pto-
maines accumulate in cans and metal
vessels of all kinds with great rapidity:
single hour, under favorable condi-
tions, will develop millions of the in
fnitesimal pests.
The boiling of milk while it is quite
fresh seems to guard against the devel-
opment of the germs of tuberculosis,
and any deleteriouS matter in so-called
''blue milk; but this never can be in
viting food, and it's use is not advisable,
although it is not known to be positively
harmful. But even boiled milk can
become injurious by being placed in
vessels that are not scrupulously clean.
