A good Summer feed for lambs ia a mixture
Of equal parts of bran and oats, with one tenth
the amount Of oilmeal. During the hot weather
the pasture is short and the lambs must be
given extra food to keep them growing, and
the above mixture has been fed with good re-
suits by many Of the most experienced sheep
raisers. Lambs should have some place where
:hey can 90 when the flies are Troublesome. A
dark barn or shed that is not In use will pro-
vide the necessary shade. Much of the future
usefulness of the lamb depends upon the cara
given 1t the first Sammer.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I see in your
issue of June 8 an article on eVener for more
than two horses Now, there is no use of any
man to try to so arrange any vehicle or farm
machine of any kind. properly made, for more
than two horses. To arrange so as to put two
horses on one side of the pole or tongue and one
on the other side, and have the draft come az
even as when two horses are used, is like per-
petusl motion-eannot be done. Il is against
the laws of mechanism. The draft will come
directly behind the team, let there be two or
more horses. There is q law governing me-
chanical principles as well as other principles
Relating to buggy pole, it makes no difference
whether the pole be straight or crooked if the
pole connect to the axle the same in each case,
the draft viii be the same on its team. Although
there are very few men who agree with me,
know what say to be true. There are many
other things have learned by actual test that
would be very useful if made public.
The Editor may not agree with me; DO
that as it may, know Of what speak. There
are very many devices gotten up just to sell,
net for their real value, and therefore people
are sold. W. ADAMS. 9th Wis. L A., Blsirs-

When hiring pickers of smallfruit do not lee
the question of present gain overshadow the
damage that may be done by inexperienced or
careless hands. Much damage is done TO fruit
and vines by one who does not know bow TO
gather the fruit or does not caro- whether it 10

strawberries, where the injury done to the
plants would more than pay for the hire Of
good picker. Much fruit ia also lost either by
MASKING or being overlooked and left until too
ripe for sale. Many poor pickers gather fruit
that is not ripe enough, or too ripe. thus in
juring the sale Of the whole crop.
An experienced picker is always worth the
little more that he asks. The owner of large
fruit-farm must watch carefully and see that
all berries are in good condition, and that the
pickers are doing their work properly.

Much attention is being given to hogs this
year, owing to the prevailing high prices. Hogs
grown on pasture make the cheapest and also
the healthiest pork. One of the best pastures
is one that contains q large percentage of red
clover. Pigs put on pasture in the Spring.
when the grass has made substantial growth,
and kept on it until Fall. are remarkably free
from disease and are seldom sick. Always keep
plenty of fresh, clean water where the pigs can
get at it; shelter from the hot sun, and do not
force the animals to stay where they cannot
get shade if they want to. Keep the drinking
troughs clean, and. above all. DO not feed them
where the ground is filthy.

NEW SPAPER LAWS.


The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
''If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that re.
fuslng to take periodicals from Of.
flee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If nbscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respou.
slble until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all is sent to the publisher.
Publish hers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any NAH for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses 10 pay for it. Under this
law it ia a dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription ac.
count to run on from six months
to "a year and then tel the post
master to mark refused or to
send the editor a notice to dlscon-
tinue the paper"

YELLOW PINE,

Far up in New Hampshire the
people are enthusiastic over the
merits Of the long leaf Southern
pine. The Union, published in
Manchester, close to the forests Of
Maine and Canada. proneunces the
Southern timber he best in the
world. not only turnlng cut tar,
pitch and tulpentine and other mas
val products and adapted for build.
ing, but suitable for every purpose
in which oak or ash can be used.
The Union Is especially struck
with the investigations made by the
Commission Of Arborculture at
Harvard College, which was com-
mlssioned by the United States
government TO conduct careful ex-
periments, with a view to ascer-
tanning the comparative qualities of
the principal woods used 10 manu-
factures, testing them under vari.
ous kinds of strains with scientific
apparatus capable of recording ex.
act results. This apparatus, loca.
ted at the Watertown arsenal, cost
the government over SIS, 900.
Tested by it, the long leaf yellow
pine was found to be the peer O. f
any wood for general purposes and
particularly for structures, ma.
chimes, etc, subject to great trans
verse strain, and it could, there's
fore, be substituted for oak and
ash for m my purposes for which
these woods have been specially en-
ployed on account of their suppos,
ed superiority in this respect. 10
the report of the chief of the dlyis.
ion of the .United States Departs
meat OF Agriculture it Is stated
"that the long leaf pine is superior
wherever strength and durability
are reqnlred;" that "in textile
strength it approaches and may
surpass cas5 lron," aud that Gin
cross-breaking strength it rivals
the oak, requiring 10000 pounds
per square inch to break it, while
in stiffness ii is superior to the oak
by from so TO 100 per cent" The
Harvard College authority says
further that, contrary to the gen
eral belief, "the tapping of the pine
for turpentine was found, bv a
large number of tests made under
direction of the division, not to
weaken but to strengthen the tim
Der in cross,breaking, and to in
crease its Stiffness
Since that showing yellow pine
mas grown more and more
into favor throughout the country :;
and, as the Union shows. is forcing
itself into general use in New Eng.
land, despite the great competition
