Meet the Rcquircme Of Winter Fat.

4 Mr.. j. S. Woodward furnishes to The
ural New Yorker plans for a building
at will lN)use $50 lambs during the
'eriod of winter fattening for market.
g speaks of the needs Of such lambs as
3llows:
Among the more important requisites
! + winter lamb feeding are sufficient
pom, plenty of air space, proper venti-
4 ton, rack or feeding capacity, fresh
alter and convenience in feeding and
bring for the stock.
Room for lambs is of great impor-
nee. They are to be fed high on slim
ating food for about five months and
.lould have just room enough to take
be proper amount of exercise for their
est health and no more. | have pro-
fded pen 81 feet long and 94 feet wide
pr 90 lambs, including rack and alley
bace. One cubic foot of air space is
efficient for each pound of live weight.

Live Stock Points.

All hens kept after they are years
old are a loss to the owner.
Russia has finally invented the way to
prevent horse stealing. When a man
buys a horse or otherwise comes into
possession of it honestly, government
certificate is made out that that individ-
ual is the rightful owner. This he must
preserve as long as the animal remains
in his possession. The certificate must
go with the horse when it is sold and be
produced on demand. When, therefore,
anybody claims to own horse and can
not show the certificate, he can be jerked
before the law instantly. This plan
would work well where there are only a
few horses, but "A western American
ranchman would have some trouble get
ting certificates for several thousand.
A hen only produces half as many
eggs the second year of her laying as she
does the first.
Prime fat chickens, ducks and geese
are in good demand.
For fattening an old COW that has lost
her teeth chop up fine the clover hay,
timothy or corn fodder that You feed
her. Put it in large tank or kettle and
pour boiling water over it. Cover the
tank till the hay and fodder are thor
oughly softened and steamed. Sprinkle
cornmeal over this steamed food at the
rate of about six quarts a day in TWO
feeds. Give besides plenty of chopped
roots or pumpkins.
A new business and one that ought to
be profitable has been started. 1t is the
building of silos to order. 1t is so diff
cult for one inexperienced to make on
the ground silo perfectly alright that
there will certainly be market for the
ready made one of any desired size,
shipped in shape to put in place, like a
windmill or thrashing machine The

BREEDING RACE HORSES
Select n Mare with Good Running BLOOD
In Her Veins.

In Her Veins.
Breeding race horses has been reduced
to a science. Year after year expert
ments are tried which yield results not
before contemplated. Occasionally we
see some enthusiastic sportsman rush
into enormous expense and spend large
sums of money in the establishment of
breeding stud which eventually proves
failure.
The breeding of race horses and the
building of successful stud farms re-
quire not only the expenditure of money
but of what is quite as important, the
engaging of men of experience and com
mon sense to look after them. Patience
is absolutely necessary on the part of a
would be successful owner. He must
not expect too great results in too short
a time. The best sire in the world may
not get good stock if the mares are not
properly selected. One might go fur
Their and say he will not get good stock
if the mares put to him are of inferior
caliber.
In selecting mares one of the greatest
desideratums is having running blood
performed mares on the turf who prove
failures in the stud and vice versa
When, however, mare whose fame on
the turf suggests she will throw good
stock and she proves a comparative fail
ure, it is difficult to find good reason
for this failure. 1t may be the selection
of sire was u mistake, or that the mare
had too much racing on the turf, and
this in some way injured her for the
stud use.
Running blood in mare does not nee
essarily mean she must have been great
performer, although we should prefer a
mare that had shown she could gallop
Rich men can purchase almost any
thing they may desire, and therefore no
mistake should be made when first form
ing stud to secure the best possible
blood, not only on the sires side, but
particularly on the dams.
One of the first questions asked when
we hear of stud farm being formed after,
what sort of sire has he got;" is,
What sort of mares have been bought"
That is the question Of vital importance
Investing money III good blood mares is Il
profitable speculation, but man of ma
tured judgment and experience should
be selected for the task. Breeding could
be made to pay and has been made to
pay handsomely. but it will be "A difficult
matter to make stud farm success
unless there is plenty of infusion of
running blood. Exchange.

LETITIA STEVENSON. She has room

bedrooms. The cottage is very comforta-

Miss Julia is devoting her time to the
study of French German and art history,
though both she and her sister confess that
they are so charmed with the New England
autumn that their studies have as yet been
little more than perfunctory. Miss Julia
has somesvery good ideas about what
young woman should know when she enters
society and ought to become one of the bellies
of Washington if she puts them in prac-
tice, as she will probably soon have an OPP
pOrtunity to do. She says:

she ought to he able to talk intellgently
and not be obliged to say insipid things
about nothing or untrue things about peo-
pie for the sake of having something to
talk about. Then, in Washington, es-
pecally, the languages are very important
on account of the representatives of for
eign nations. 1t is very amusing to hear
some girls try to speak French or German.
Many of them have only studied it little,
and the result is that they address the for
egners in stammering gibbersh, which
must be very ludcrous to people who real
ly know how to speak those languages"
