and not at the same time kill the sheep.
Still others believe that grub in the
head is very fatal disease, and that the
grub bores through the skull into the
brain, causing death. The accumula-
ton of grubs in frontal recesses is what
causes the trouble, but one sheep raiser
says that in 25 years experience with
sheep he never lost one animal bv pruh
in the head. Plenty of grub in the
stomach and dark place for the sheen
to go to when the flies that lay the eggs
are about is his treatment for grub in
the head. An occasional grub will get
through, but it is not the occasional
one that disturbs the sheep. On the
contrary, it is the numbers of them.
Another common error is that sheen
should be shorn at a certain time of the
moon in order to start the growth of
the next fleece. The moon has no more
effect with the growth of wool than
have any other planets. When the time
comes for shearing and the shearer is
ready and the weather favorable. one
may shear without consulting the al
manac. The same almanac is con-
suited, too, at docking and castrating
time, but a different time on the moon
is sought, perhaps. One moon for
one thing and another moon for an
other thing. Occasionally you will find
sheep man man who will tell you that
sheep do not need water. They need
water and plenty of it, and it should be
pure well water rather than stagnant-
branch or pond water. 1t is in the
latter that Turk dangers of which the
shepherd very often scarcely dreams.

inches from each end of the square tim
Der round off space about three inches
long OH which place two iron rings. To
the rings attach iron hooks or stay
chains. After the animal is killed and
hind legs are skinned, insert the hooks
in the large tendon above the hook
joint.
Two men, one at each end of the
gamble. can easily lift the carcass,
either raising it off the ground at once
or short distance at time. 1t can be
secured at any height by means of a
rope, A, which is arranged with a series
of loops. These are slipped over the
turning pins or handles and thus pre-
vent unwinding. AS the skinning pro-
ceeds the men will have to stand on bar
rels or some other elevation to enable
them to swing the carcass clear of the
ground. This apparatus can be used
for lifting hogs, sheep, etc, but need not
be made so strong or tall. The whole
thing is entirely homemade and easily
constructed. If no tree is convenient
to support one end of the pole, post
can be set in it's place, or three rails,

REMARKS ON STOCK.

Ring the bull before he is a year old
if you would have him handled easy.
Market the hog as soon as it is ready
to market. 1t is an expensive business
to keep him longer.
The stable should be kept sweet.
Sprinkle it all over with one pound of
chloride of lime in five gallons OF water.
The mule is good deal better animal
than is usually rcckoned, and it's breed
ing has paid well in the past. For farm
work the mule is excellent.
The man who will turn his cows out
so that they will break into the pas
ture of neighbor who owns thorough
bred bulls is more economical than hon
orable.
That the hog is looking up was shown
at a combination sale recently at
Springfield, Ill. One Poland-China SOW
sold for $3.50, and another for $3.50.
Eiphty-five animals were sold at an
average of SIP.
The strictest care should be exer-
cised in selecting the brood SOW. Care
lessness may be exceedingly expensive
IF YOU have bred from a defective SOW,
do not use any of her offspring for
breeders.
The clearer you keep the eyes and
head of your horse the less the animal
will be troubled with flies about the
head. Flies are attracted by dirt. The
horses head, eyes and nostrils should
be washed off every morning in fytime.

To use it, start the wheel with the
treadle, letting it revolve towards you.
Then take a sunhower head in each
hand and hold them against the pro-
truding nails. Hardly an instant will
be required to shell off the seeds. Some
operators can work more rapidly by
alternating; that is, holding a head
first with one hand and then with the
other. This will depend upon practice,
but by either method, a man will have
little difficulty in Smelling IL or Is BUSH

chine has a cylinder, studded with
spikes, instead of wheel. This will
do the work fully as well, but requires
more power. When used as fuel, the
stalks and seed cups of the sunflower
will last about as long as similar
amount of pine; but the quantity of
heat given off is much greater. Sun

MRS. SARAH MALLoY.
First Woman Chosen for Presidential
ElectOr in This Country.

First Woman Chosen for Presidential
ElectOr in This Country. -
Mrs. Sarah Malloy, of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
has been chosen presidential eli .ctor'
by the republicans of Wyoming, Icing
the first woman in the United S ates
to attain that high position. This l. the
most pronounced victory for the cause
OF woman's suffrage so far recorded,
and marks an era in the political prog
ress of the female sex. 1t realizes the
widest dreams of Mrs. Susan b. An
thony and the other pronounced advo-
Gates of woman's rights.
From this nomination to the choice
of woman for governor of state is
now only step, and the possibility of
a female president seated in the white
house at Washington looms up with
startling clearness.
That Wyoming should have been the
first to break down the bars that kept
woman out of the electoral college was
to have been expected. 1t was here that
the political equality of the sexes was
first recognized. Mrs. Malloy has been
active in politics ever since Wyoming
adopted woman suffrage. She was one
of the first workers in the cause in the
west, and helped materially to secure
the adoption of what was then the ter
ritory of Wyoming of the law giving
women the franchise.
eff we are good enough" she argues,
ito raise and train the boys who are to
go up to the polls and vote, then we
ought certainly be good enough to vote
ourselves"
From the first Mrs. Malloy has
worked with the republican party.
Every election day has seen her at the
polls, and she has taken a steady in
terest in every campaign. But, despite
this public activity, she is by no means
considered the new woman" the funny
photographers have pictured her to be.
For, while participating actively in pol
itics, Mrs. Malloy has shown no incli-
nation to wear divided skirts or to
throw the care of the baby on her hus-

owner hopes that it will be long before
they suffer that fate, for the ram should
haze many years of activity before him.
1t is not easy to decide which of the
mary species of domestic animals is
the most valuable to man, but it is not
d!illcuit to make out a good case for the
sheep. We have many substitutes for
the flesh of the OK, but the wool of the
sheep seems almost Indispensable. The
world would be very uncomfortable if
it had to go in cotton, and that is the
only other clothing material which the
majority of men can afford.
We should therefore gaze with deep
respect upon this magnificent ram and
the abundant coat which envelopes
him. Shorn of this once a year he will
supply hundreds of human beings with
warm and comfortable clothing. From
his wool will be woven the coats which
cover the backs of statesmen, of dam
dies and horny-handed sons of toll, and
also the more intimate garments which
lie next to the skin and preserve them
from the deadly cold. He will also have
a part in furnishing boomers to the
new woman.
Not only will he personally yield ali
this wool, but he has already founded
a large family of sheep who will COM
pete with him in usefulness. = n. Y.

How to Dress Chickens and Turkeys for

Poultry should be kept without food

this occurs correspondingly lower
prices must be accepted than obtaina"
BILE for choice stock. Never kill poultry
by wringing the neck. The demands of
various markets vary a little in the
manner of dressing poultry, and in
preparing it for market; the custom OF
the market to which one is to ship
should be followed.
Chickens for Chicago should be
killed by bleeding in the mouth or
opening the veins of the neck; hang
by the feet until properly bled. Leave
head and feet on; do not remove the
intestines nor crop. Scalded chickens
sell best to home trade, and dry picked
best to shippers, so that either manner
of dressing will do If properly done.
For scalding chickens the water
should be as near the boiling point as

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

If any colonies are queenless unite
them with others.
Never allow a swarm Of bees to re-
main long after settling; hive them
as soon as possible.
Keep the brood in the center of the
hive if possible and the honey on the
outside.
All combs that are built by bees
naturally contain too mach drone
comb.
Foul brood is very contagious and
will spread with great rapidity over an
apiary.
Curing honey simply means proper
evaporation of the water 1t contains.
This is accomplished in the hive by
high degree of temperature, and can be
done outside by maintaining the same
conditions.
Colonies that lack stores for winter
should be fed the required quantity in
the fall, and September is the best time
to do it. 1t should be done while it is
yet warm enough to allow the bees to
seal the stores over.
Every colony should have % or 30
pounds of good sealed stores to bring
them through to the first of May, with
good winter protection besides. 1t is
far better. to have little too much
stores than too little.
Strong colonies of bees sometimes be-
come suddenly depleted in numbers.
with not enough left to keep up tha
necessary warmth to hatch the eggs.
This is because no young bees have
been Matched, and the old ones, super
animated, left the hive in search of food,
and were not able to return.-St. Louis
