hard pine or cherry or butternut, the
last of which is especially desirable.
AS you will see, the bookcase is very
simple in construction. There are
four parts-two end pieces and two
side pieces, or shelves. Wood a half
inch thick will do very well. Have it
neatly and smoothly planed on both
sides and of a size large enough to
make the various pieces of the dimen-
sions shown in the picture. In the end
pieces the grain of the wood should
run lengthwise from C to d, thus pre-
venting splitting. The height from
TO b is six inches. Draw a perfect
diagram of the end pieces on the board
taking care to have every measurement
exact. If you have a scroll saw you
can readily follow the lines and cut
out the end pieces; but il you haven't,
saw with an ordinary saw as nearly to
the lines as possible and trim off the
sharp corners with your iack-krife.
The sides of the two small Sits may be
cut with a saw and broken out with a
chisel.
Next make two connecting pieces, or
shelves. As shown in the picture, they
are IS inches long by pc inches wide,
and when they are completed they
should fit snugIy into the end pieces
and remain solid without nails. The
bookcase is now complete, so far as
your jack-knifc is concerned With
bits of broken glass and sand-paper
smooth off the joints and corners and
polish the wood smooth. If you like,
you may give it a coat of oil or shellac
varnish, and it may be stilSs further or
namented with a neatly carved design
on the ends, or studded with brass nails,
to suit your fancy. This makes an eX-
ceedingly convenient and handsome
bookcase, which will occupy only a
small space, and which in moving can
be readily taken apart and packed.
Try it and see if you don't like it.
Another very neat and pretty object
which any boy can make is a wooden
inllstand and penrack. TO make it
get two pieces of wood one-fourth to
three-eighths of an inch in thickness
ten inches long by four inches broad.
Fasten the two together with fine brads
so as to form a right angle. Now, take
another piece of wood of the same thick

RATiONS FOR SHEEP.
Corn and Oats in Equal Parts Is Stand.
ard Winter Feed.

Corn and Oats In Equal Parts Is a Stand.
ard Winter Feed.
Corn and oats in equal parts makes
one of the very best grain rations for
sheep. Corn alone is too heating and
fattening. Moreover, if sheep are fed
exclusively on corn for any consider
eble length of time they lose their
wool.
1t costs just so much to keep sheep
Of certain weight right. But if, with
good care in selecting and breeding,
and with good feeding, the sheep can
De made to give eight or nine pounds
of wool instead of four or five the extra
weight of wool will be that much addi-
tional profit. When it barely pays to
keep sheep that shears only four or
| five pounds, one that shears seven or
eight will give a good per cent. on the
money invested. In addition in nearly
Ill cases the heavier fleece will be of
better quality.
While it is always best to feed with
as little waste as possible, it is rarely
good economy to compel the sheep to
eat up the hay in their racks as clean as
with cattle and horses, unless it is I'M
usually fine. Still, care must be taken
not to feed too much, as sheep are in
ciined to waste their feed if overfed.
But considerable waste can be avoided
by having good racks. The Stats should
be wide enough apart to allow the sheep
to put their heads entirely in the racks
and eat or they should be so close as to
only allow them to insert their noses.
If made in this way, however, it is i'm
portant that they be made sIanting, so
that the hay will gradually sink down
AID always be within reach of the
sheep.
Every day that the weather will per-
nit the sheep should be turned out in
the morning to get fresh air and water.
At the same time their quarters can be
well aired. Sheep do not bear close cen
ffnement well. Whenever it is possible
the doors of their quarters should be
left open during the day so that they
can run in and out, as suits them. With
the breeding ewes, especially, care
should be taken to have the doors to
fheir quarters wide, so as to lessen the
risk of injury in their running in and
out. It will still further lessen the risk
Of injury if the doors are hung to slide
open rather than to open and shut with
common hinges.
In extremely cold weather more corn
may be given than when it is milder,
but do not make it an exclusive ration
at any time. Give oats, barley, mill
feed, and other materials to make up a
good variety. Sliced turnips with
wheat bran sprinkled over them makes
a good feed for sheep, especially when
grain is given at other meals. The con-
dition of the sheep is the best criterion
as to what the quantity of the ration
should be. One of the most economical
rations is unthreshed oats, run through
a dampener sufficiently to make the
bran stick to the straw. Give them all
that they will eat up clean.-St. Louis

how this tiny counterfeit of woman

know is that when she came to America
we had no direct trade with any dis
tant ports of the world, for everybody

and no one had ever heard of the Star

This little doll, therefore, has looked

WHERE WILLIE WENT.

Wisconsin's wild winds We're whist
ling when Willie Wade went walnut
ting. Warmly wrapped was Willie,
with wooden wrapper, wadded waist
coat, with warm wrstlets.
Winnie Wade wondered why Willie
wouldn't wait until warmer weather,
when Winnie would walnut with Viii
lie.
Willie wandered where Walter West
was wheeling wood, with wonderful
wheelbarrow, wishing Walter would
walnut.
Without wasting words, Walter
whistled: "Whew! Walnuts will wait,
while wood won't"
Where walnut woods We're, woodmen
were working with wabbly-wheeled
wagons, with worn, weary, wretched
work-horse, which was wasted with
weakness, which was well worn out
with work.
Woodman Wheeler waggishly
wrenched Willie's WATERFALL, where

When winkers were wiped Woodman

nuts were. Willie's wooden water-pail
was well filled, while wee wreDs war

Willie warily watched while Wood
man waged war with wasps-which
wasn't wise. Wasps were waxing
warmer, whereupon Willie, with water
pail, went where Widow Walman,
Winnie's washerwoman, was who well
washed woolens with warm water,
with washing-machine, wringing with
wringer.
Willie went within wash-room, where
Widow Walman welcomed Willie with
warm wheat waflles, with wholesome
whortle berries washed with water.
When we'll warmed, Willie wandered
where water was, willows waved;
where, when weather was warmer,
white, waXen water lilies were wit
messed.
Willie woded where web-footed wa

was witnessed.
Winnie warmly welcomed Willie.
When woods whiten with winter,
when windows wear wonderful white
frost works, Winnie, with Willie, will
welcome walnuts, will want warm wal

CHEAP CHICKEN CooPs.
