SHEEP SHEARlNGS,

WHEN sheep dies, it usually leaves
wool enough to pay funeral expenses.
TURNING the sheep into the corn field
after it has been laid by will help kill
out the late weeds.
THERE should be marked improve
ment in the care Of the sheep to make
them most profitable.
In using long-wooled ram in breed.
ing, care should be taken to see tn at
the wool is of good quality,
BECAUSE the price of first-class
sheep seems high, many are tempted to
use lower grade in breeding and
make serious mistake.
SHEEP farming is the animal industry
that stands most in need of develop
ment for the present. If a few capital
lists would take hold of it, and then
make war on the dog interest, as sure
ly as would be necessary, they would
advance it by rapid strides, and far
more so than ordinary farmers could do
it.-Western Rural.

WINTER pAlRYlNG.
How to Produce a Good Flow of Milk in
Cold Weather.

AOiu NcuLners
One advantage in having butter to
sell in winter is the less competition.
This means better prices, and as the
difference in the cost Is small the diff
ference in price can be made largely
profit.
Another advantage is that in winter
butter can be placed upon the market
in better condition, with less trouble,
and will keep longer with less risk than
in summer This, of course, affords a
better opportunity to take advantage
of the market. With many farmers
another fact must be considered. The
cows must be kept and be well cared
for. Because they are not giving full
flow of milk is no reason why it should
be considered good economy to let
them run down. 1t will pay best to
keep them thrifty, and if this is done
free flow of milk may be had,
To make the most profit in winter
dairying it is necessary to have good
portion at least of the cows come fresh
in the fall. Then warm quarters
should be provided, so that it will not
be necessary to maintain heat with
| feed. Then the rations must be varied
enough to keep the cows with a good
appetite, as a COW that is giving good
flow of milk must eat we'll The ra-
tions supplied must be succulent and Of
kind that will tend to keep up flow
of milk. Corn, while it is good heat
ing and fattening ration, is not good
milk producer. During the winter,
however, it can be used to a good adj
vantage in connection with other ma
| terialS.
Bran is one of the best materials to
produce flow of milk and can be fed
with good results. Some oil meal can
be used, especially when feeding dry
feed, like hay, straw or corn fodder.
Ground oats is another good feed.
With these, and with fodder and hay,
complete rations can readily be made up.
Water the cows regularly, and II
will be better If the water is warmed.
Cold water chills the system, and this
not only requires more feed but also
tends to reduce the milk supply. Regu-
larity in watering, feeding and milking
are important items in maintaining a
| good flow of milk.
Cream should not be allowed to get
sour, and in order to have it ripen even
IS every time fresh cream is added the
whole should be stirred thoroughly in
order to mix all we'll together. Stop
churning whenever the butter globules
are the size of wheat grains, draw off
the buttermillz and wash the butter in
tho churn. Use all reasonable care to
keep everything with which the butter
comes in contact clean and sweet,
and in making it ready for market put
up in neat, presentable condition. 1t
is only the best quality that fetches the
highest price, and every advantage
must be taken to secure the best
quality, as there is very little differ
ence in the cost Of good and poor but.

Increase in Weight of Ducks,

The rapidity of growth of the Pekin

weeks, seventeen pounds; at six weeks,
twenty pounds, and at seven weeks,

half pounds each. Some of them were
short on weight, while some weighed
three and one-fourth pounds each. At

A fish tale from the Gulf of Mexico

broken by six-foot tarpon leaping up
on the deck from the wafer The big

one of the sailors was knocked over

he was pulled back on deck. At last the

fHe SEX OF THE MOON.
Various Ideas Entertained Ia Regardt to II
by Different Nations.

by Different Nations.
In archaic times the moon was re-
garded as male god. primitive man,"
says well-know writer, saw the
moon as a most conspicuous object,
whose spots at periods, had the SEM
biance of mans face. Its waxing and
waning increased their wonder, its
coming and going among the still and
solemn night added to the mystery,
until from being viewed as a man it
was seated, especially when apparently
angry, in a mist or eclipse, and so
rcverenced and worshiped as the
heaven mantle monthly god. '
We learn from Max Muller that
''moon" is a very old word, and in An
glo-SaXon, where it was used as mas
culine and not as feminine, was
''mona." In all the Teutonic languages
the sun was feminine, and it is only
| through the influence of classical mod
els that in England moon has been
changed into feminine and the sun into
masculine. Even in comparatively re-
cent times the Germans were fond OF
calling the sun and moon Frau Some
and Herr Mond"
Another reason" says Sir Gardner
Wilkinson, that the moon in Egyptian
mythology could not be related to Blu.
bastis is that it is male and not fe.
male deity personifed in the god Thoth.
This was the case in some religions in
the West. The Romans recognized the
god Lunus, and the Germans, like the
Arabs, considered the moon masculine
and not feminine, as were the Selcne
and Luna of the Greeks and Romans
In Slavonic, as in Teutonic mythology
