FEEDING THE LAMBS.
IL Takes Considerable Judgment Ia Pu
Them on Grain Diet.

~ luhcs CousiueraDlo Judgment To Ro
Them on Grain Dict.
Zone of the hardest things to do just
now is to get the lambs on grain diet
II is quite essential that they should
be fed grain by the time cold weather
comes, and 1t takes considerable good
management to put them on the grain
diet successfully" says L. p. Smith In
American Cultivator. "New grain ID
generally injurious to them because
they are not used to it. New corn I'M
digested may kill lamb, or make half
flock sick and bring ON Inflammation
of the bowels. A young lamb knows
no more how to eat grain than baby
understands how to chew meat. In
either case the habit of using the food
properly must be taught. II the child
should swallow the meat without mas
ticating it he would suffer as conse-
quence, and so with the lambs. A
great many think that moist bran is
the best grain diet to give the lambs
at first, but soft, mushy food is apt to
hard, lump grain. Oats and bran
mixed together cause the least trou-
BILE. Corn is not good grain to be-
gin with, unless it is ground into meal
A few oats with moist bran sprinkled
in them will tempt the lambs as much
as any grain, and they will suffer the
least from such diet. A little bran
should be scattered around the feeding
trough to tempt them to try the grain,
After licking up this they will begin
to eat the oats and bran mixed to-.
gether. Lambs should be fed grain
diet very carefully. Give them at first
just enough to tempt them to come
again. Do not ovcrfeed them with
grain. One false step in this direction
may cost you the lives of several OF
the choicest animals. When they come
readily to the feeding trough when
called the diet should be increased a
trifie each day, but they should not be
placed upon full diet of all that
they will eat up clean inside of a month,
If they are fed all they can eat in two
weeks after first tempted with grain
they are apt to have some bowel trou-
ble that will make them weak ali
through winter. The time of feeding
should be at regular stated intervals
Irregularity in the time and quantity
of the food are sources of great deal
of trouble with the winter lambs. Oats
and bran should be fed the first week
or two, and then wheat or rye can be
mixed in, and after month corn can
be fed. The latter grain is the hard.
est for the lambs to digest, and it should
not be made part of their grain diet
until their stomachs have become ac-
customed to coarse food"

The Honey Bird.

The honey bird, of which we saw
several during our travels in Somali
Land, is well worthy of mention as a
natural curiosity. 1t is little gray
common looking bird about the size of
a thrush. 1t first forces itself upon the
notice OF the traveller by flying across
his path, uttering shrill, unlovely
cry. IT will then sit on neighboring
tree, still calling and waiting for him
to follow. BY short, rapid flights
the bird will lead its guest
on and on, till after while
the traveller notices that the bird
has stopped its onward course, and is
hanging about among certain half
dozen trees. These being visited one
after another and carefully examined,
the search will be rewarded by finding
a nest of bees In one of them. The
probability is that there will be honey
in it, but have known the bird mis-
taken. 1t is matter or honor with
the natives to set aside good portion
OF honey for the bird. Although this
action of the honey.bird is an estab-
lished fact of natural history, it is
none the less unaccountable, and it
would be interesting to know whether
lie ever tries to entice quadrupeds also
to assist him in obtaining his much
loved honey. Nineteenth Century.

Can't Net Trout on His own Land.

The full bench of the suprme court
has held, in the case of the common
wealth VS.. Richard e. Follett, that
Public Statutes, Chapter 10, Section 81,
prohibit an owner of land, on stream
not navigable, from taking trout from
the stream with net, on his own land,
as we'll as they prohibit other persons
from doing so. The defendants excep-
tions are therefore overruled. The de-
PENDANT is the owner of a trout hatchery
at Sheffield He owned the trout he
caught in the net, and took them, in
that part Of the brook under his control,
for the purpose of stripping them of
their spawn. They were then to be
turned back into the brook alive. The
defendant contended that Hoxie trout,
the species which he was engaged in
propagating, had become so tamo as to
become his absolute property, wher-
ever they might be found in an open
stream. This proposition, the court
held is not tenable, as ''such fish are
not of the class of animals which,
without combining item in private
waters, can become the absolute prop
erty of anybody. "-Boston Transcript

hardy.
Late In March, with suite compris-
ing the chief courtiers, Napoleon be-
gan his progress toward Milan. Tho
emperor of Austria--for to this title
Francis was reduced by the dismem-
berment OF Germany-was told in
gracious personal letter that with Rus
sian troops at Corfu and English SOL
diers at Malta, the two crowns of
France and Italy could not be kept
apart, except nominally, but that "this
situation would cease the moment both
these islands were evacuated" The
attention of all Europe was momentar-
lily diverted from Boulogne to the
spectacle at Milan. On May 90 the
emperor of the French was crowned
king of Italy In the cathedral by his
own hand, and with the iron crown of
Lombardy, a diadcm considered the
most precious on earth, foi It was said
to be made from the nails which
pierced the Saviour's feet and hands.
1t was with perceptible defiance that,
as he set the emblem on his head, he
uttered the traditional words: "God
hath given it to me; let him beware
who touches it." The attendant festi-
walls surpassed In splendor anything
yet seen in Napoleon's career. w. M.

Where bees are to be wintered in o
cellar, they should be taken in only
when permanent freezing weather has
set in. The first thing to look after is
that the cellar have plenty of good
fresh air. Many cellar is nothing but
a breeding place for disease and the
foul air inds its way into the living
rooms of the family, so keep the cellar
air pure and sweet. If the cellar Is
filled with rotting vegetables, do not
expect the bees to winter well AS tc
thc>hives themselves, hut little impor-
lance arises as to their arrangement
in the cellar provided they are fairly
warm and fresh air can get in and out
of them. Set tiers as high MS conven-
tent. a rood plan of ventilation is to
construct long, hollow, square box or
insert stovepipe through the cellar
wall. In either damper may be made
to turn or to be withdrawn, according
to the outside temperature. - c. r.

rank. She is of lovable disposition and
the light Of the social set in which she
moves. For two years she has been sick
girl from internal troubles peculiar to wom-
en-, and having recently recovered, has
given our reporter thefollowing interesting
account:
'Instead Of improving under the care of
my physician l became worse. For five
weeks was unable to get out of bed and
about six o'clock each morning suffered
horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated
from the marks Of my teeth, for In my eff
forts to keep from screaming l sunk my
teeth deep into my lips. At such times
rolled and tossed until the bed shook like
au aspen leaf aud it finally got so serious
that the doctor-I won't tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills to take. The
very thought OF them now makes me shiver.
These morphine pills simply put me to sleep
tor awhile and when I became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
''The pain in my stomach and back was
more than / could stand. Your blood Is

6ted in the least; my suffering continued,
butby mighty effort after being In bed so
long, got up. Oh, but was sad sight
then. From ll2 pounds, | had fallen to

and limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Then / read of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

with hope. / got the pills and took them.
Before many days began to improve and
before had finished one box felt as II l
could go out and walk for miles. ! soon
stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
soon bid goodbye to my headaches while
the pain in my stomach and back slowly
but surely succumbed TO the influence of
these pills that seem to be able to persuade
oil pain to leave ones body. Now am as
l used to be; well and strong, lighthearted
end merry but never without the pills. See
l have got some of them now,n and from

boxes.

II wouldn't cheat you, ma'am," re.
piled the hackman.
"And you'd better not try! I'm the
woman who broke tin peddler's arm
for tryin' to cheat me out of two
pounds of paper rags. How much to
take me up to my darter's on Forest

"I'm only asking regular rates,
ma'am. You can't find anybody to
take you up there for less"
Then I'll walk.
"Yes'm, but you have trunk"
Then Hammer Smith will carry her
trunk on her shoulder. Fifty cents or
no?"
Couldn't do it, ma'am."
"All right, sir-all right! I've car.

back, and that trunk don't weigh halt
as much. Hammer Smith knows her
business and don't you forget it!'
''Better git in, ma'am."
"No, sir! Fifty cents or no ride"
And she went back to the baggage
room and claimed her trunk, and was
about to shoulder it, when the special
officer protested and said he would
have it sent up for rs cents and she
could so on the car.

she rubbed her hands on her dress.

ree,,,nr Dur,nr the Short pays.

AS the days become shorter and the
nights longer, the interval between the
evening and morning meals increases.
Dnring December the fowls often go on
the roost at five clock and do not come
off till seven o'clock the next morning.
This keeps them IA hours without food.
If not fed, however, until daylight is
well on, and an hour before roosting,
the time is heightened to lc hours, while
only eight hours interval occurs during
the day. The difficulty cannot be over
come, but it is best to feed them as early
in the morning as possible and to de-
lay their evening meal until they will
have but very short time before 60
ing on the roost.-Prairie Farmer.

POULTRY FOR MARKET.
Some Valuable Hints for Dealers as Well
as Farmers.

come Valuable Hints Tor Dealers as WcIl
as Farmers.
There is class interested in poultry
that buys from farmers, and after
dressing the poultry the carcasses are
shipped to market. 1t is very prof
table business, and such dealers arc
useful in community, being always
ready to accept any of the surplus
stock offered and save time and labor
for the farmers, as they dress and ship
hundreds of carcasses at once, while
some farmers, in order to secure few
cents more per pound, do not take into
consideration the labor they bestow in
preparing but few fowls for shipment.
A greater profit can be made in buying
poultry, however, if those engaged in
such business will fatten the fowls be-
fore killing. Instead of buying to-day
and selling tomorrow, there should be
clean quarters, with small yards at
tached, having feed and water troughs,
and the birds fed on fattening foods,
so as to increase the weight and secure
larger price per pound. In ten days
or two weeks the birds will be ready
for market if they are given all the
food they will eat during that time.
BY allowing time for increasing weight
it becomes an advantage to buy poor
birds If they are in good condition, as
the first cost is less and greater pro-
portionate weight can be added. Only
the frame and bony structure are suf-
ficient. The food will then increase
the weight and the quality will be su-
perior, as birds that are fattened in a
short period of time are tender and
juicy. Such plan would rid the mar
ket of much of the inferior poultry that
is usually forwarded, and as the cost
of producing one pound of poultry
should not exceed five cents the adop-
ton of the method would furnish the
markets with better stock and largely
add to the profits of the business
