lambs bring is all profit. What Will
show larger per cent OF profit than
this?
WHEN man expects early spring
lambs II won't do for him to be mean
with the ewes, either In board OF
treatment. There Is a charm about
wheat bran. oats and linseed meal
which no sheep can resist; and the re-
sulting products, whether lambs, wool
or mutton, are bound 20 be first-class.
| Oil meal must not be fed TO ewes In
lamb later than four weeks after they
are served because OF danger from
miscarriage.
TURNIPs are we'll worth feeding
Notwithstanding the chemists rank
them so low among foods. The be-
ginner In sheep raising will do well to
study the cheap production OF roots,
for nothing, not even ensilage, can
take their place In the economies of
winter sheep feeding.
EVERY lamb that can be put on the
market before April will pay the
owner well. He should make special
preparations for warm and com fort
able places In cold weather for sheep
expected to yean early.
DON'T allow the sheep to fall of in
flesh as the feed fails. If they come
to the barn poor In the fall. they are
likely to remain so through the
winter. Turn them into the after
math, or give them daily feed of
grain or rowen.

Must study the business.

One thing should be chalked down
and remembered by every farmer who
is engaged in dairying or thinks of en-
gaging in it. He will never make a
profitable success unless he is close
student of the business. Unless he
is willing to read, think, and study,
and that, too, right hard, but few dol
lars will get into his pocket through
the COW. Look about in every dairy
community and you will see that the
most money per cow is made by the
men who put the most brains into
their dairy work. A man may make
some money out of poor COW, even,
by starving his mind and the minds
of his family. We suppose rag-pick-
ers make some money, but how do
they live? The American dairyman
ought to live like an American citi-
zen.

Anr.adesi Disease.

Among the diseases described that
come to us from readers, says Farm
and Fireside, is one which is very
common. The heads of the hens
swell, and Jumps appear, both on the
heads and sometimes in the threats,
and the eyes are also swollen and
closed. The trouble is roup, and the
symptoms described are due to ex-
posture to draughts OF cold or damp
air at night. There are different
kinds OF roup, but the form of roup
mentioned is always the result of ex-
posture. 1t is difficult to cure, but

A Deal of Nonsense.

A great deal of the so-called agricul-

papers is the veriest nonsense. Asan
instance of this we read the other day
In weekly paper that milk in Paris
was called pure when it contained
one pound of butter and four onces Of
solids, not fat, in a quart. Normal
milk contains from three to four
pounds of butter and nine to eleven
pounds Of other solids In each 100

conclude that there is no cheaper way
OF feeding pigs than through the dam.
This being true, It is a shortsighted
policy 60 starve a SOW with the idea
that her pigs will pay better for their
feed utter they are weaned. Expert
ments teach that the SOW should be
fed as heavily as possible without en-
dangering her young, and that at the
same time the pigs should be early
taught to eat in a trough by them
selves, and should also be fed all they
will consume.

LIVE STOCK.
Cost OF Feeding Pigs.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
conducted series of experiments to
ascertain whether or not pigs can be
fed as profitably through the dam as
after weaving. Four sows were
placed in separate pens just before
farIowing. The pigs were weighed
onthe day they were born, and weekly
thereafter until ten weeks old, when
they were weaned. An account was
kept of all the food consumed by the
SOW and pigs for seven weeks after
weaving. The feed consumed is
charged at the following rates:
Cornmeal, 20 cents per hundred weight, or 40
cents per bushel.
Skimmilk, as cents per hundred weight.
Shorts, 20 cents per hundred weight,
Ground Oats, 90 cents per hundred weight. or %
cents per bushel
sifted oats, sl.27 per hundred weight.
Only summaries of the second and
third lots are here given as the feed
ing was not uniform for the other
lots. The following table shows the
food consumed to produce 100-pounds

Trout Catches a Bows Nose.

Perhaps not one of the readers friends
will believe the story here related, for
many who have heard it reported by men
whose word for truthfulness is undoubted
are still unbeIievers. Nevertheless it comes
from a Simon Pure Presbyterian minister
says the Tourist The incident occurred in
Yates county, on the beautiful Lake Kewka,
which extends from Penn Yam on the north
to Hammondsport on the south, a distance
of22 miles. One bright, beautiful day a
gentleman, his wife and little boy were row.
ing on the placid waters of the lake. The
little boy was seated near the end of the
boat, with his head extended over the edge
of the boat looking down into. the clear
water
With almost the suddenness of light
ning's flash large trout came up and made
dart for the boys face, catching him by
the nose. OF course, the boy jerked his
head back (as most boys would), and both
boy and fish fell in the boat. The large
teeth of the trout fastened in the boys nose
Two years ago the writer saw the same per-
son, now young man, running on one of
the steamers, and he carries the mark on
his nose to this dsv. The boy was about 6
years old when this occurred. The fish
weighed six pounds. Both the boy and
the fish were photographed, and we suppose
the picture can be seen there today. Now,
as the Tourist has already hinted, it Is bare
ly possible if anyone will believe the story,
and yet it can be sustained by many of the
best men in the community where it oc-

The Fishing Season.
ger and a little


Columbus Dispatch.1
Now the days are getting longer and a little
softer, too,
And the grass and leaves are sprfnging
where the same last summer grew;
There is weakness In mems walking, per.
spiration on the brow
And longing for an outing, since the days
are longer now.
To work men go, all thinking how they used
TO dig for bait
And scurry of across the fields, though
penniless, elate.
The rod and line and hook in hand, the fish,
worms in can
And deep commisseration for the toiling,
grown-up man.
The years have fed as water does within
the tireless brooks:
They've brought the moIey-makfng and the
deep content OF books;
They've blotted many Il boyish taste, but not
that early wish
To go with bait and hook and line out to the
creek and fish.
And so when May comes in, each year, and
soft days longer grow.
Men long to go and linger whore the fishing
waters flow,
To drop their letter writing Just to drop the
fish line
And think that they are boys again as in the
auld lang syne.

fashion, and just as Simpsons s mind was
made up to go home he caught sight Of a
great pine tree that had been blown down
and was living with its top in the water;
Just the place to hook a monster trout, as
anv fisherman knows.
He had been fishing up deep and rapid
mountain torrent, the banks of which were
thicklv grown with brambles and service
berry bushes, among which he had to thread
his wav, his rod in one hand and his heavy
string of fish in the other.
Pushing along to the great tree, he
climbed up on it with much scrambling and
noise, holding on as best he could, for he
was close to the bank and the stream was
boiling, and both hands were full. Just as
he rose upright, something else rose up
also, on the other side-close to the tree
an immense she bear, her cubs beside her.
There was no time to hesitate; to run was
impossible, and she was coming toward him
growing wickedlv. With all his strength
he threw his heavy string of trout in her
angry face; the next instant there was
tremendous splash and Private Sampson
had disappeared III the torrent.
When he emerged some distance down,
there in the pine tree sat the growing bear
intently watching the hole where he had
gone in. / assure you he did not go back
10 inform her he was not there, but made
for camp.
