A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

n Women Were Left-Handed They Could
AlIght Better From street Cars.
She half rose from her scat, glanced
toward the rear of the open car, and,
raising her parasol, signaled TO the con-
ductor on the rear platform that she de-
sired to have the car stopped at the
next corner. AS it slowed, she stood up
and stepped to the side, shifting her
parasol from the right hand TO the left
and grasping the arm of the seat with
the disengaged right.
"Wait till the car stops, please" the
conductor shouted.
She glanced up with slight express
sion of fright, and the conductor ran
along the foot-board at the side to assist
her, but she did not wait for him. She
stepped down while the car was in mo-
tion, and when the car stopped with a
slight jerk had her left foot on the
pavement She had kept hold of the
arm and was about to release it and put
down the other foot, while facing to
the rear, when the jerk threw her off
her balance. The conductor grasped
her arm and prevented her from falling.
She smiled her thanks and stepped
away. The conductor blew his whistle
and started to return to the platform.
'There's another" he remarked to a
serene and observant individual at the
end of the next seat. ga woman never
gets off car while facing the right
way; at least I've never seen one. If
she'll wait till the car stops it's all
right if not it's all wrong"
"'Tisn't her fault" the individual re-
marked.
"Huhm
''No It's the fault of the car, or the
company, mean"
"Huh!'
"Of course. I'm not saying word
about grasping corporations or any
thing of the like, but say it's the fault
of the company"
'I'd like to know how" the conductor
said, suggestively. 1--WE do everything
we can to help 'em."
"That may be so, but the company
ought to change the direction of its
lines or start movement for the devel
opment of ambideXterity," the philoso
pher remarked.
"What?"
"Ambidexterity- ability to use botl
hands," the philosopher explained
"The trouble is that most people car
use the right hand only in graspin9
anything, with confidence in the effor
women particularly. In this country
the cars pass to the right, and as it il
safer to alight from the side nearer thu
sidewalk, it is very natural for a wo
man to grasp the arm of the seat or tn
side of the rear platform of a close'
car, before stepping down. Now, if tn
cars ran the other way, to the left, VIC
men would get off from the other sid
and would use their right hands. If

Ticks cause many lambs to dwindle
and die. They should be dipped occa-
sionally. The ticks leave the sheep for
the lambs, so that at this time it is
comparatively easy to rid the flock of
these pests. There are several com.
mercial dips that are very effective.
Emulsions made of tobacco, buhach,
Persian insect powder, etc, are recon-
mended, but have never known any
satisfaction to result from such dips.
More than one dipping is needful be-
cause few ticks will hatch from nits
on the lambs at the time of the fist
dipping, and an occasional tick will he
left on the ewes, which will find it's
way to the lambs. warm day and
southern exposure should be chosen, as
otherwise the lambs are liable to be
chilled. After the immersion, each
subject should have it's fleece squeezed
as dry as possible and be stood for a
few minutes in small pen with a
board floor draining into the dip.-Hol-
lister Sage, in Farm and Home.

EEEnlna IN SUMMER.
IL Docs Not Pay to Farten stock During
the Hot Season.


An animal may readily be kept in
good, thrifty condition in summer, but II
made fat is certain to suffer more or less
from the heat and of course will not do
as well as it should.
Generally the better plan is TO feed
sufficiently to keep in good, thrifty con-
dition, giving the ration that will best
secure good growth and development
at this time, and then later on when
the animal is more matured short
time of heavy feeding will be all that
is necessary properly to fatten for
market. In this way one may be
ready to avail himself of the early fall
market to better advantage and with
less trouble than in any other way.
Sheep may be fattened on grass so as
to market them at any time from now
on, especially wethers and ewes.
During the summer, in many cases,
is the best time to market this kind of
stock. Old cows are another class of
stock that, as Il rule, it is not profitable
to feed grain in order to fatten for
market They should be put in as
good condition as possible with good
pasturage and then marketed when
this condition has been reached.
But in nearly all cases with young
cattle and hogs it will pay to finish with
good feeding of fattening ration for
at least short time before sending to
market.
But with cattle, as this hot, dry
weather comes on, in many cases it will
be necessary to feed something to make
up what the pastures will lack. AS the
weather gets hot and dry the grass in
the pastures will begin to fail and
some thing must be given to make this
up. Cut clover, millet, sorghum or corn
can be used. The quantity that should
be given can best be determined by the
condition of the stock; enough must be
given to keep thrifty.
With hogs, no difference how good
the pasturage, some grain or rich slor
can always be fed with profit. This
may be oats. shipstuff, barley oilmeal
cornmeal or combination of two oi
three of these made into good slor
with skim milk. Let it stand twelve
hours, taking care not to allow it t.
get too sour.
BY feeding literally in this way dur
ing the hot weather, short, heavy
feed with good fattening ration is al
that will be necessary to prepare fol
market.
Provide good shade, give plenty o
water and let the stock be as comfort
able as possible during the hot weather
and they will keep healthier and grow
faster and be ready to fatten earlier il
the fall.-St Louis Republic.

ABOUT MILK FEVER.

AS Many Cows Die from strong Medicine
rs fcom the Disease.
The deaths of fine cows in the last
year seem to have been unusually
large, and while all sorts of remedies
are given, the cows go right on dying,
and the best ones at that. At best, the
disease does not seem to be understood,
and it is safe to say that as many cows
die from the dose given to break up
the fever us die from the disease it.
self. One says starvc, another says
feed high, and on through the list to
the last one, Il gill of coal oil, mixed in
lard, given to the COW each hour for
three times. In the last American we
find the following that may be as near
the truth as much of the sound" ad-
vice made public.
To prevent milk fever, should COW
be dried off when she persists in milk
ing all the way through? This is a
very hard question to answer. There
has arisen of late years a new school OF
medicine or a new practice in the old
one that says when COW is taken
down with milk fever after calving the
udder should not be entirely millzed
out but only the excess of pressure
taken off by slight milking. The
philosophy of this, as we have seen il
advocated, is that the glands at that
time are active and ready to go tc
work as soon as the udder is empty
and to keep them quiet the uddei
should be left fairly filed. A full uddel
makes no demand upon the system ot
the COW unless it is overcrowded while
an empty udder calls for work on the
part of the milk-secreting glands. This
looks like good logic whether it is goot
medicine sense or not.

Keep the most active hens as your
layers, and sell those that are very fat
ana heavy, and which show signs of
breaking down. Keep the hens with
the smallest combs, and which begin to
moult early. If any hens have been
Improbable do not keep them for their
beauty, as beauty has but a small place
so far as profits are concerned. Hens
that have been frequently sick should
be sold, but do not sell them unless they
are healthy at the time. The main
point to observe is activity, as an active,
Ioraging hen is almost always good
sgg-producer, and provides partly for
herself when Sire has chance to do so.

AN EXCELLENT SlLO.
The Plan Designed by AN Ingenious South
western Farmer.

western Farmer.
The silo about to be described was
in a large barn. 1t was square, 10 by
Is feet. A stone wall formed the foun-
dation and the walls were of plank.
Strong sills laid in mortar on the foun-
dation sustained the weight of the
structure. The studding was of by los,
and was covered on the inside with a
lining of rough boards. Sheets of tar
paper were put over these boards, the
paper reaching from top to bottom of
the silo. Then the paper was covered
with boards tongued and grooved. The
outside of the silo was covered with
shingles. The owner assured me that
It was frost proof. The inner lining
was heavily coated with oil paint to
protect the wood. The doorway was
quite large one, opening into a drive
way. 1t was kept closed, except when
the silo was being filled. The corn for
the ensilage was cut and hauled to the
silo, and before being put in it was run
through a fodder-cutter. An inclined
plane or chute was used in filling this
silo, but usually an elevator is pre-
ferred. This may be changed from side
to side of the pit as desired. Every
kind of grass and grain valuable for
food are valuable for and make pal
ateable ensilage. Glover and corn,
however, are especially valuable. Corn
for ensilage is drilled in rows 80 feet
apart, one kernel every six inches in
the row. Shallow cultivation is prac-
ticed to keep the ground free from
weeds and to prevent cutting off the
roots. Orange Judd Farmer.
