I saw woman do courageous act

children were playing ball on the street,
when big black dog ran up and sprans
at siX-year-old boy. He threw up
both hands and screamed. The dog
sprang toward him again, but did not
quite reach him. The little fellow was
paralyzed with fear, and could do moth
ing but scream as the dog made re-
peated springs at him. A woman on
the opposite side of the street saw the
little fellows peril, and looked around
for help. Then, Selling a large stone,
she ran up and hurled it at the brute

FATTENiNG LAMBS.

Prof. Roberts Tells What Experience Has
shown to he u Good Ration.
For fattening lambs Prof. Roberts
gives the following ration in the Rural
New Yorker:
Cornmeal should form, in connection
with the other foods mentioned, one
third of the grain ration. Cornmeal,
100 pounds; wheat bran, 100 pounds;
oil meal, 20 pounds; peas, 80 pounds;
oats, so pounds. Mix and feed from
one-half to one pound per day per
lamb. This will do when shredded
cornstallls are used. but when clover is
fed there should be :. greater proper
ton of corn, and less of oats and peas.
If one feed is of shredded corn and one
of clover each day, then the corn should
not be increased, and the oats and peas
diminished as much as when clover is
fed exclusively. -
Sheep do not relish wheat as well as
the other grains, either whole or
ground. Better feed the wheat to the
chickens. The grain alone would
give Il nutritive ratio of one to five and
five-tenths. The shredded corn fodder
would widen it possibly one to six or one
to six and tive-tenths. 1t would be still
too narrow for fattening lambs in cold
quarters; if kept in warm quarters. 1T
would be wide enough. BY substitute
ing little corn for a part of the highly
heterogeneous food (peas and Oil mcal)
the ration could be easily widened. \
few mangels or some other succulcnt
food would improve the ration.

A shower of dust fell on the deck of
the ship Scottish Dales when she was
far out at sea off the coast of the Ar
gentine Republic on voyage which
ended at Tacoma, Wash, recently.
The captain says the dust was very

duststorm blew toward the ship it
looked very much like snow. The dust
fell thickly over the deck and rigging
of the vessel. The captain supposes
it came from some volcano in active
eruption.
