CARING FOR LAMBS.
How TO Start the Young Creatures in thu
Way of Quick Growth.

How TO Start the Young Creatures in tina
Way of Quick Growth.
While the lamb is young is the time
to start it in the way of quick growth.
Its future usefulness as manufacturer
of mutton from hay and corn depends
very largely on the start it gets during
it's first few weeks of existence. If it
once gets stunted, no amount of sub
sequent coaxing can make it DO its
best. At first you must feed the lamb
through its mother. To make her give
plenty of milk, she needs, in the win
ter time, all the clover hay she will eat.
1t should be good clover hay-early cut
and well cured. She needs plenty of
wheat bran. If you do not wish to
fatten her for market, would give her
no corn, or very little. If l wanted to
fatten her with the lamb, l should give
her ration of this mixture by weight:
100parts of corn meal, 100 parts of wheat
bran, 10 parts of linseed meal | would
gradually accustom her to this food, and
as she became used to it. l would give
her all she would eat, feeding it by
preference in self-feeder.
Now, if the lambs are to go to mar
ket as fat lambs, l can suggest no
better food for them than that mix

The most profitable way to grow
strawberries is to make a new planta-
ton every year, keeping the first one
two years, then having two beds one
coming on and one in full bearing. In
this way the crops are the largest. Ex-
perience has shown that most success
is gained by procuring fresh plants
from a nursery and not replanting the
runners from an old bed. New plants
may be bought so cheap that it is not
worth while taking the runners from
old beds unless they are some new
kind of which only a few have been
procured.-Rural World

CAVE-DWELLlNG ANIMALS
The Strange Effects of Continually Living
in Darkness.


The Strange Effects of Continually Living
in Darkness.
The introduction underground OF the
ancestors of these fauna may have
taken place and may be taking place
In two ways: through perfect individ-
uals carried by streams into vide
mouth pits, whence they can not es-
cape to the light, or through eggs or
larve borne into narrow assures by
simple infiltration of water. 1t is a
matter of question whether or not
creatures Matched from these germs,
which have never lived on the surface,
and their descendants, would be affect
ed by more rapid changes than those
which have come underground by ac-
cident, but have not been born there.
The principal changes undergone are
usually albinism, or more or less COM
plete loss of color, and atrophy Of the
eyes. The organs of vision become, OF
course, useless in the underground
darkness. 1t is found, on the other
hand, that cave-inhabiting animals
have the other senses developed to ex-
cess; they guide themselves by means
of long cirri or long antenn@, which
is very sensitive; they are put on their
guard by means of their hearing,
which informs them of distant perils;
and by their smell, telling them of in
visible game, helps them to their food
Albinism Is accounted for as the resYl
of failure to absorb the light-rays- n
is generally agreed that cave-dwellinf
animals have lost through adaptat ior
to the medium the visual organ theil
ancestors enjoyed.-E. A. Martel, II

Where swine are kept in large yum
bers they are very likely to be confined
in very close quar- ters, with no regard
for cleanliness and pure air. One who
recently visited distillery where a
great lot of hogs were kept to be fat
tened upon the waste products, gives q
description suggestive of the black
hole of Calcutta" The fetid atmos-
phere seemed to torture the swine, and
the visitor would have tainted but for
a speedy exit. This was an exceptional
condition, but in all cases where filth
is prevalen and the air infected there
must be more or less faint to the meat,
even if disease does not appear. But
hogs SO developed are very liable to be
infested with some dangerous disease
and parasites, and those who eat them
as food do so with peril to health.
The swine should be fed as pure food
as other animals, and all their condi-
tions recognize sanitary laws.

[From Journal, Lewiston, Me. |

Samuel r. Jordan has just given the Jour.
nal an account of his life, which in view Of
his extremely hard lot for the past lew
years will be read with interest.
Il am As years old and have always lived
in New Portland. Ienlisted in the army in
1862 as a private in Company A, 2Sth Me

myhealth to some extent, although worked
at blacksmithing some part of the time,

my vicinity, and elsewhere, and they all
told me that medicines would not help me,
that they could do nothing to effect cure
and that in time I should become entirely
helpless. ] became discouraged. / was a
great care to my wife and friends. Shortly
after met an old army camrade, Mr.. ALL.
Parlin, resident of Madison Maine, and
he incidentally mentioned how he had tried
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for severe ca Sc OF
rheumatism and spinal and malalss,s
trouble, that he had suffered with conse.
quent of his army life, and had been great

recommendation l was induced to try the
pills. After taking them for time began
to feel prickly sensations in my legs and a
return Of strength so could move chem a

marked improvement in my condition.

FARM AND GARDEN.
RULES OF THE ROAD.


The Englishman Turns TO the Left, tbs
American to the Right
The rule of the road" is curiously
different in different parts of the
Anglo-Saxon world When. for in
stance, an American who is riding or
driving meets another rider or convey
ance on the road. he turns to the right
The Briton, on the contrary, turns to
the left. But if a walking Briton meets
another pedestrian on the road or the
sidewalk, he turns to the right.
The rule of the road has become
crystallized in England into poetic
forms, one of which is as follows:
The rule of the road is paradox quite;
For in driving your carriage along,
II you bear to the left you are sure to go
right.
If you turn to the right you go wrong.
But in walking the streets It's different
To the right It is proper to steer;
On the left there should be enough of clear
space
For the people who wish to walk there.
Another reading of the same rule Is
more epigrammatic:
The rule of the path,
To get well along
Is keep to the right"
And you cannot go wrong.
$3.50 The rule of the road h
Is paradox quite,
II you keep to the left
You are sure to be right.
The requirement to turn to the left
Is a matter of statute law in Great
Britain, having been made part of
the highway act of 1885. In the
United States, the exactly opposite
rule has been enacted into law in
several states, and in the other states is
SO much a matter of common usage
that driver who violates it is re-
sponsible for the damage caused by any
collision.
On the continent of Europe it is the
general rule to turn to the right. Turn
ing to the left seems to be an insular
popularity of the United Kingdom.
Why opposite rules should prevail in
England and In part of the United
States which, like New England, de
rived all its ordinary customs from old
England, is not clear, but the reason
for turning to the left is perfectly
pldlu IL Is VIC CuSLODl, uOG only III
England, but in America, for the
driver to sit on the right side OF
the vehicle; and the driver who sits
thus can keep his wheel in view, and
also that of the passing conveyance,
much better II he passes to the left,
and keeps his right shoulder to the
other mans right shoulder.
The practice of turning to the right
when on foot is assumed to have grown
out of the necessity, in rude and vio-
lent times, of keeping free the hand
which must, in case of necessity, handle
the sword or other weapon. But this
conside ration must have applied to
horsemen as well as to pedestrians.
1t may be, therefore, that the prac-
tice of turning to the left with vehicles
has grown up since the times of peace
and security on the road have made
weapons unnecessary. In America we
may have preserved the earlier usage
of England itself as has been the case
with other customs that have been
dropped there but carefully preserved
here.-Youth's Companion.

WOOD That Will not spit when the hoop
is nailed to the tops. The tops of the
legs are beveled from the side next the
hoop in order to give spread at the bot
tom. The legs may be of any length
that will suit the fancy, but should be
a little shorter than the sacks. 1t is
not necessary that the hoop be so small
as the diameter of the smallest sack,
because if the sack is small it need not
be hooked onto all the small nails that
are driven from the inside of the hoop.
The materials cost almost nothing and
the holder can be made in half an hour.
Bag-holders can be bought on the mar
ket, but have failed to see any that
were more convenient or that would do
any better work than this one.
When husking corn in the field last
fall we had two or three dozen
cleansed phosphate sacks and by using
the holder threw the corn right into
the sacks so that when we wanted to
haul, our corn was all picked up, and
when we wanted to unload, the corn
was all ready to carry into the gran
airy. For this purpose one leg was left
longer than the others so as to facili-
tate throwing into the sack. In trans
ferring grain from one sack to another,
shoulder the sack to be emptied and
with the other sack on the holder the
rest is as simple as pouring water out

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct 20.-Thc prob
able action of Gov. Clarke, in view OF the
decision of the chancellor, is the subject
of much comment and surmise. Hsdcclara-
ton at the beginning that he would not
call the legislature IL the men fought In
the State House yard is remembered, and
the fear now is that he will call an extra
session at once.
1t is a recognized fact that the governor
has no law to warrant him In ordering out
the militia without iirst being asked To
do so by the civil authorities of Garland
county, and the opinion is freely expressed
here that the sheriff meant every word In
his letter to the governor written yesterday,
and which is supposed to have reached him
this morning.
MUST CALL AN EXTRA SESSION.
An extra session of the legislature is now
the governors only hope of making good
his word that there shall be no meeting of
Corbctt and Fitzsimmons anywhere in Ar
kansas.
The opinion of Chancellor Leathennan is
generally indorsed by the leading attorneys
of this city. Judge Harrell is of the
opinion that the governor will not call an
extra session of the legislature, that {
would cost the State 100000 to do SO,
and the emergency is not such as TO W..
rant the expenditure of SO much of tho
peoples money.
Attorney General Trustworthy has been
here all day engaged in the work of citing
the appeal papers ready to take the case
TO the supreme court tomorrow. He stated
that If The supreme court affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court that would end all
Interference on the part of the governor
so far as the law is concerned.
What other steps, If any, the governor
contemplated taking, the attorney general
would not say.
The written demurrer to the petition of
Corbett was filed to-day. IL is n mere
denial of the fact that the petitioner has
stated sufficient facts to cntitle him to a
writ of habeas corpus as pra yed for.
