should not come around to the same
view of the matter. We surely
should not look upon them only as a
makeshift by which we may pro-
cure some profit from poor lambs.
Use a thoroughbred buck, and
soon have a flock of sheep which
will show you understand your
business; have in them not only a
source of profit, but an occupation
of pleasure. A good shepherd will
improve his flock, and will have
some ideal which he will endeavor
to reach.
The Hanoverian cavalry is said to
be the best mounted in the world
the horses large, strong, hardy and
courageous, the result of thorough
and persistent work in breeding.
The Government of that country
established stud 100 years ago, and
lent its encouragement to breeding.
In our city markets a good draft
horse sells for twice as much as a
fair to good driving horse. 1t does
not need proving that the one does
noc cost twice as much to produce,
and, therefore, no argument is need
ed to show where the profit lies.
1t pays to get a reputation for a
speciality in stock raising estab-
lished, either for farm or a dis
trict, for then buyers come direct to
that locality for their purchases.
This holds good in a larger scale, as,
witness the fame of Kentucky; her
renown for horses has spread as far
as Japan, and the agent of the
Mikado's Government has been a
profitable patron.
Success in bee keeping is not
"luck." Learn to have the hive full
of bees as winter sets in, and breed
them full again in thespring. Have
the new hives ready and the col onies
running over full when the honey
flow comes, for there is where the
luck comes in, and the good luck,
too.
1t is not we'll to be given too much
to sentiment, nor from affection re-
tain animals after the period OF
profitable use is passed; but, in truth,
this error is usually made because
the owner does not recognize that
his stock is on the down grade. On
the farms of thoroughly successful
stock raisers one will find mainly
young animals.
Healthy hogs should be taken
from the sick, and not the sick
from the well, as in the latter case
the excrement and secretions con-
tanning the contagious principles
are left in the pen on the ground,
straw and troughs. 1t is further
safety, during an outbreak, to have
the swine in small herds and in
small pastures.
1t is not every farmer who is suffi'
GENTLY level headed to raise pigs
and keep them growing at the high
est possible rate of speed. To dc
this means only the right kind o.

Live up to it, and we shall usually

Good herders are necessary on the
sheen ranch. No other animal is so
near an idiot. If they get them
selves into corner they never help
themselves out. If one gets into
trouble, the rest follow. Even with
the small farm flocks it is we'll to
keep out watchful eye.
We know that sheep will quickly
bring up poor land; then why not
recognize the fact that they will
make good land better? In England
the sheep is regarded as an impor-
tant factor in intensive farming,

Dairy.

If half the success in the dairy
lies in having lot of Jerseys or
Holsteins, the other half is surely
in good feed and care. If the cows
had the matter in hand they would
doubtless be calling for an improved
breed of dairyman.
More truly in the dairy, perhaps,
than in any other line of live stock
breeding does like produce like. A
milking strain securely established
through generations of ancestors
does not easily run out. The history
of many brands of imported mixers
is long one.
The old Devons make fine car
cass for the butcher, and hold their
flesh well, even on rough pasture
and hay. They are good mixers,
and only excelled in richness by the
Jerseys and Holsteins. If really
good general purpose COW is wanted
we can fall back on nothing better
than the Devon.
There is profit in early maturity
for the dairy as well as for beef.

hope to make the dairy cow, for her

A New Science That VIII Manifest
Itself I'm Many Ways.
Those who are moderately well in
formed are aware of the fact that the
deaf and dumb are being taught to un-
derstand from the. motion of the lips
of the person with whom they
are conversing. This is not SO
difficult as it may appear at first
thought. With q fair amount of prac-
tice anyone can become more or less
proficient in the method. At least
case that is reported in this city would
seem to establish the fact.
A gentleman who has a daughter who
became interested in the subject prac-
ticed with her at odd times, and they,
became almost expert in the business.
They had worked with each other at
many odd hours, and enjoyed the ex-
pcrience with something that ap-.
preached scientific satisfaction. There
was practical side to the matter, also.
that gave them great deal of sport
They took frequent street car rides
during the summer for. the purpose of
practicing their 4, specially. When.
ever they could get in position to study
the lips of two or three who were con-
versing in whispers, they would repeat
to each other what they supposed was
the subject of conversation. They diff
fered but seldom as to the talk of sub
iects scrutinized.
That they might always have good
vantage ground, they would ordinarily
take the front seat of the summer cars
as it faces all the other seats and as
fords fair view of the occupants CT
the car. One night they We're i,nme-
diately opposite two young girls who
were in a. talkative' mood. Their COM
ments were about the occupants of
the car, and especially pronounced
about young man blessed with good
looks, who was sitting within range OF
their eyes.
Shortly they turned their attention
| to the gentleman and his daugh Ger.
! Now, as concerns the appearance OF the
two, there is enough difference to i'll
dictate the relationship, but the de-
meanor of each to the other was such
| that the Chattercrs were puzzled.

AS the couple under discussion left

Inodesty that has been prolific OF weakness
and disease. -Four ont of every FIVE women
in America are not perfect women in the
sense of being perfectly healthy They are
not perfectly equipped for the performance
OF the duties of wifehood and motherhood.
Their training has made them feel that i! is
better to suffer in silence than to tell of
their trouble and be cured.
The doctors are much to blame for this
because when treating the diseases pecu-
liarly feminine they invariably insist on ex-
animation and local treatment. That these
things are generally absolutely unnecessary
has been proven by the wonderful success
of Dr. Pierce's FavoTite Prescription. II is
positive specific for all forms of female
weakness and disease. II purihes, strength
ems and regulates the organs distinCtively
feminine restoring them TO a state of per-
feet health, aud in so doing cures four ffths
of all the illness of women, for almost all
womanly illnesses spring from this one
cause.

to use the Favoritc Prescription, F." and just
what methods will be surely successful in
her case, may have the desired information
