so the lambs can pass under mot the
sheep and in here have small troughs
and sprinkle ground oats and corn,
equal parts, and little salt, and the
lambs will soon learn to eat it, and
continue this course till grass has a
nice start and then turn out your sheep
aud lambs IN the daytime and fair
weather, bnt yard and grain at
night till feed is flush and weather
warm. About April Is you will have
some lambs fit for market, and by June
18 you should have them all sold. If
your sheep have been well handled
they will be fat and you can sell them
for mutton and have your flock all dis
posed of at a sharp advance on the cost
by July 30, and the mutton sheep
usually sell well at that time. and then
buy new flock for the coming winter
in September. In this way you have a
heavy fleece on wool, q valuable lamb
and an advance of cost of sheep of from
one to two dollars per head, a fine lot
of manure and only a few or no sheep.
In August and September the months
feed is shortest and they do the land
most harm and with good care they al
ways pay well.-Farm Journal.

FACTS ABOUT HORSES.

EVEN in winter the horse is better
for outdoor exercise.
TEACH q horse what you wish him to
do and he will always do it.
WATER the horse in the morning be-
fore giving him his breakfast.
IT is said that men working in livery
stables are exempt from cholera.
BECAUSE prices are low is no reason
for starving or neglecting horses
THE horse shows have done much to
develop enthusiasm for fine horses.
ABROAD only geldings are used for
on the farm.
ATTEMPTING to drive a smooth-shod
horse over slippery, icy roads is the
cause of many accidents.
If the young stock are not thrifty
when they go in to winter, we doubt If
they will come out thrifty in the spring.
The shrinlsage of value of horses last
year is estimated to be over $25, 900 900,
and the total loss in falling off of
prices will no doubt aggregate SEC, 000,-
600 since the commencement of the
present depression of values.
THE manner in which horse stands
still is one of the best indications of
soundness If he stands with his legs
straight and well under the body there
is not much the matter with them. If
he favors limb or straddles before or
behind, examine him carefully. IN, Y.

asked him where he boarded. He said
he ate at a restaurant and was tired O,
it. With that she asked him to stay tc
dinner.
Eleanor upon her return from schoo,
was amazed to find her mother and tbs
despised neighbor sitting opposite each
other, one vehemently complimentine
the dinner, and the other blushing and
protesting feebly. Mr.. Throberty said
that Mrs. Leutz should be sent across
the street to take lessons.
He had tried the Leutzes' cooking,
and that's why he boarded at the res
taurant. Then he told of the objec.
tions he had to certain cheeses and
sausages sold in a delicatessen store,
and said he had ordered Leutz to move
out as soon as the lease was up.
Mrs. Mackus had new opinion of the
neighbor after that day and could offer
no reasonable objection to his calls, es-
pecially as he was deeply interested in
Eleanor.
IF she was my girl" he said one
day, 'she should have the finest educa-
ton that music teachers could give
her." 81
When man begins to talk that way
he is undermining every resolve Of
widowhood!
Be it said to the credit of Mrs. Mack
us that not until the matter was all ar
ranged and the day set did she learn
that Saunders Throberty owned five

Leutz place and drew royalties every
three months on patent steam nipper
or something Of the sort. And in JUS
tics to Mr.. Throberty it may be said
that he did not know or care that the
widow had money in the bank. He
was ready to get out of lonely bach
elorhood and it was the good cheer,
the singing and the cooking that
tempted him.
There was to be nothing revolution
ary. The repair shop was to remain in
the basement, Mrs. Mackus' stock was
to go in the delicatessen room and the
apartments above were to be newly
furnished and Eleanor was to have
piano.
Could there be any more satisfactory
conclusion of love story?
After the wedding in the church
there was party in the old house.
The bride and groom had gathered up
their neglected and distant relatives
from all over town, and Father Roman
was present, because for many years
Mrs. Markus had been practically a
part of the parish work
When they called on him for speech
he said, among other things: by this
happy union our friends have demon
strated anew the fact that in this age

Sunday morning and went away some
where for his meals three times day,
that he wasn't drinking man and that
his establishment for grinding and gen

Perhaps she would never have known
any more about him if he had not hap
pened to stroll along her side of the
street one summer evening just before
dusk
Mrs. Mackus was at the window
above and Eleanor stood in front of the

Aha, but you are the robin that

The child began laughing, and Mrs
Mackus, who had stern notions of pro
priety, suddenly thrust her head out Of

FARM AND GARDEN.
EARLY LAMB RAISING.

at the Business.

como Valuable Hints from an Old Hand
at the Business.
There is money in early lambs II you
live within easy access of some good
market and have natural grass farm.
Lambs do not bear long transportation,
and twelve to twenty hours is as long
as they should be en- route to market.
Begin by purchasing flock of two
year-old sheep, say August l, after
their lambs are weaned, about half
Southdown and half Merino, or natives.
Give your flock good pasture, and avoid
all excitement of dogs and noise, and
| get your sheep as familiar with you by
quiet and kindness as possible, giving
them salt twice week, and when win
ter first sets in take them from pasture
and have a nice large, dry yard con-
nected with your sheep barn fenced
with four-foot board fence, and then
three-foot wire netting on the top,
so that dogs can't get in to bite or scare
them.
Have the barn dry and warm, but
not too tight, and with windows OPEN
ing to the south for sun, as sheep like
that in winter, and small room in one
end made quite tight and warm by cell
ing inside, filling in with sawdust so
as to avoid frost, in which to keep your
grain, salt, ETC., and also as place to
put your ewes few days before they
drop their lambs, and also few DAYS
after, till they and their lambs are
strong enough to be placed with the
flock; and movable partitions in this
room are very useful, so that it may be
divided into two or three or more parts
as necessary, in case sheep does not
do well or fails to own her lamb land
here let ME say sometimes dog tied
in one corner will effect cure of that
fault in few hours). If you can have
spring or very small stream in the
yard do so, and if not you must water
from a WELL once day will do, till
near lambing time and then always
twice.
Now as to feed: Sheep farmers al
ways raise corn and they wish to feed
some stalks in early winter, but they
should be cut and cured early and fed
once a day only, and at night feed hay;
and supposing you to have fifty good
ewes land that is all ever should be
kept in one party, and twenty -fve is
BETTER, feed at night onefourth bushel
of sound whole corn, and you may grad
ually increase this feed so that by jan
uary Is you are feeding one-half a
bushel; after this time add good sound
oats gradually, so that by February Is
you are feeding half a bushel of each
per day and if you have good early cut
fine hay, natural meadow or clover hay, |
together with one bushel of carrots or
roots of some sort, this is grain enough,
and your sheep will not require great !
amount of hay, and only feed just {what
they readily will take, as many farm
ers make their sheep dainty by feeding
too much hay; better keep them little
hungry for hay.
And now about the care of your lamb

SELECTING LAYERS.
The Experience of Poultryman Who Has
Kept His Eyes Open.

The Experience of Poultryman Who Ha
Kept His Eyes Open.
1t is true that there is no infallible
rule for selecting the best layers in ;
flock of hens, but there are a few indi
cations that show which hens are prob
ably the best layers. say.proba bly,
for the rule does not always work, anc
exceptions to it are not rare.
1t will be understood by this that
only give these rules from observation
among my own focks, and from my
own experience.
The most active hens in flock are
usually the best layers. The hen who
stands ready to run out of the house in
the morning as soon as the door opens
and flies at the feed as if she Were
starving, is the one that will produce
the most eggs, commonly. Such hen
will not stand around in the sun after
eating her morning feed, but will be
seen far away from the house foraging
for food. She is the hen that sings as
she goes about, and is the one who
will find her way into the garden if
she can possibly get there.
A large comb is sign of a good
layer. By this mean a large comb for
the breed she belongs to. Almost in
variably the Leghorn hen that has a
large thin comb that drops down over
one eye will be found to be good
layer. The comb of a good layer is of
bright red all the time she is laying,
and as soon as it becomes pale, or dark
colored, you may be sure she has
ceased to lay.
The good layer is rather narrow
across the shoulder and wide in the
rump, with the rear Of her body deep
and low. Her feathers are glossy and
her eye bright, and she is full of life
and action. If hen possesses all
these indications, there is not much
danger in picking her for a breeder,
as she will almost always be prolific
and eggs produced by her will be fer
tile and the chicks strong and vigorous.

INCLINED STRATA
DIPPINa STRATA

very sharply and again with but a
gradual dip. Fig. shows such a
structure of the soil, and we'll dug
down through it. 1t can be seen at a
glance that liquids soaking down upon
the left-hand side and striking layer
of clay or other more or less impervi-
GUS soil, will be conveyed directly into
the we'll.
When it happens that nothing filthy
exists upon the surface on the side
where the strata slope toward the we'll,
the water remains pure, but when the
reverse is true, there is nothing to
hinder the filthy liquids soaking down
and running finally into the we'll, made
somewhat less harmful, butnot wholly
SO, in their passage through the soil.
Fig. I shows another structure of soil
that is often found. Here the strata
dip on two sides toward the we'll,
which has perhaps been dug purposely
in depression, with the idea of a
greater likelihood of there finding
water. Any filth on two sides of a
well may thus be conveyed into it.
Moreover, in the case of soil that is
homogeneous in character there is
natural drainage toward we'll, as is
indicated in Fig. 8.
Land drainage is toward both wells
and drains. Tile drains laid three rods
apart and sunk four feet underground,
drain all the land between unless it be

retentive clay soil. The land midway
between two drains has it's surface
water conveyed away mostly by seep
age. But all through the land adjacent
to tile drain the water also makes a
few little channels for itself toward the
tile. Is is known that such little chan
nels are made from points as far ava Y
as twenty-five feet from four-foot
drain. 1t may be taken for granted,
then, that well drains naturally a
very large area about it. and the inn
portance of allowing nothing of a filthy
nature to exist within that area ought
to be apparent. 1t sometimes happens
that well is contaminated by matter
brought from considerable distance
by surface water in time of a spring
freshet or a heavy rain at other sea-
sons. To obviate this the ground about
a well should have height of some
two feet, mound like arrangement
around the well curb, as shown in Fig.
4. A we'll may also be contaminated by
earth worms, rats, mice or toads. 1t is
wise, therefore, to lay the upper por-
ton of the wall in cement and bring
the wall up tight under the platform.

"You're right, ma'am, wan about to


steal her."
/ Eleanor laughed again, and the
neighbor started across the street, but
he suddenly turned and said: 1T is
but right you should know, ma'am
that meant no harm by compliment
| in the child. She's as sweet as her
mother, without the sharpness of the
| tongue. I am proud to be neighbor
to lady like youself, but I will tell
you this, ma'am, that you shouldn't
have said it."
| With that he hurried away, and Mrs.
Macl1us was so angry with herself she
would not listen to Eleanor, who in
sisted that the neighbor had been en-
tirely polite and proper.
After that Mr.. Throberty kept on
his side of the street.
Mrs. Mackus recalled more than once
what he had said to her, and she felt
that it was due her reputation as
an anna BILE creature to set herself right
with Mr.. Throberty, whose daily life,
as it fell under her observation, con-
tinued to prove that ha was a man of
quality.
Perhaps she did really fear burglars;
at any rate, after two places around
the cor 1er had been broken into, she
sent for Mr.. Throberty to come and
put an extra bolt on her front door.
She was behind the show case when
he opened the door and softly stepped
in, removing his hat as he did so.
''Have you locked up the youngster?"
he asked, with twinkle in his eye.
"Haven'tyou forgotten that?" she re-
piled. II hoped you had. Do you
know, 7 went to confession about it."
''Bless me, so did l."
They both laughed and Mr.. Thro-
berty went to work putting on the bolt
and keeping up lively conversation
with Mrs Mackus
"Have you much work." she asked,
cautiously.
No, they don't bother me very often
an I'm glad of it-except in a case like
this" he fastened to add.
Presently the conversation had adj
vanced to the point where Mrs. Maekus

Saaving an insurance policy for $1,000
@ brotherhood organization. The
only child, Eleanor, was three years old
when her father died.
Mrs. MaclSus invested the bulk OF
her money in her little building next
to the church and put a stock of goods
in the front room below. 1t was hard
~ shop. The visitor found it more
Alike a sanctuary.
The showcase contained neat rows
of prayer books, catechisms and Bibles,
lined and clasped with gold, and also
strings Of beads, each string with the
suspended cross There were candle
sticks and crucifxes on the shelves
and displayed behind the narrow front
window. Prints of Mary and tho
Child were framed and hanging against
the walls.
For seven yea Mrs. Macl1us had
sold books and symbols to the parish
aoners, among whom she was held in
high esteem. They came to her for
wreaths and wells when the little girls
were preparing for communion serv-
ice. and as she was neat seamstress
she was often employed to make the
white dresses. The parish priest, Fa
ther Roman, sent trade to her, and she
had prospered. Mrs. Mackus was
plump and good looking, bordering
upon forty-a woman of cheerful dis
position, and with an object in life.
The small earnings she put by month
after month were for Eleanor, who
was to have an academy education and
then study music. The child had
already shown aptitude as a musician,
and in her school studies was two classes
ahead of her years.
One day in early spring Mrs. Mackus,
standing in her doorway, saw a new
sign across the way. 1t was at the
head of the stairway leading to the
basement under Mr.. Leutz's store, and
read: IS. Throberty, Grinding and
General Repairs" The basement had
not been occupied since the cobblers
moved out, and the arrival of a neigh
Dor was of more than passing interest,
because the short street was mostly
given over to cottage residences, and
changes in its outward appearance
were unusual She saw the new man,
whom she supposed to be the SIS.
Throberty" mentioned on the sign,
coming out of the basement or disap-
pearing into it several times during
the day, and in casual way she OBJ
served that he was of medium height,
with face of plain, but honest pro-
portions, and no beard, except a little
strip, slightly touched with gray, in
front of each ear. Two wagon loads
of tools and wheels were carried into |
the basement, and trunk went up the |
side stairway.
That evening at six o'clock, sitting |
at her front window upstairs and look |
ing out over the row of geraniums, she |
saw the new neighbor at window in |
the Leutz building. He was smoking
a pipe and reading. She inferred |
that he was alone in the world and |
had engaged one of the two front |
rooms from Mr.. Leutz the delicatessen |
man.
She saw him often enough after that. |
and without having any especial inter
est in his affairs, she learned that |

The well upon the farm may be a
source of very great danger to the
household. 1t certainly is SO If the
conditions of soil and location are such
that drainage from the farm buildings
can in any way enter them. The soil
is not everywhere of homogeneous
character. 1t is often in layers, one
being perhaps loose and open to the
passage of liquids down through it,
while directly underneath may be a
stratum of nearly impervious clay.
Such layers of soil, moreover, are rare
ly to be found existing in perfectly
level condition, but inclined sometimes
