An Odd Occurrence.

is reported from Michigan. While a
farmer was shearing a sheep. a little
brown egg fell from the fleece and
broke on the door. The shelrer in
restigsted, and found birds nest on
the sleeps back. so constructed that,
with ordinary treatment, the egg could
not roll out: but the bird had not fig

nest, of course, was warmer than the
ordinary kind would have been; but
how the mother bird could distinguish
which of the flock of sheep bore her
nest is q difficult question TO answer.

How He Got the job.

A good story Is being told about the
appointment of Postmaster in North

were a number of aspirants for the
place, and when the announcement
was made TO him that a German was
sure TO secure the plum, every person
was anxious 10 be in line and cougratU-

congratulations was a man who was

his new schedule, TO a Herald man yes

plates reduction of something over

rates yearly. This means an average re-

The charge for private residences not
exceeding six rooms is 50 per year. Mr.
Wallace will recommend il be reduced to

ditonal room, the superintendent thinks
30 cents would be more equitable. ma

Feminine Dairy Wisdom.

Sailing regularly is one very import
ant matter in the dairy.
When cows have not received an
abundance OF salt and then a change
to regular sailing is practiced. a great
change both in quantity and quality
of milk can be noticed. A still bet
ter plan is to keep it where each COW
can help herself whenever she desires.
The best cows are always the heavy
feeders.
If they eat heartily and are healthy.
and do not lay on fat, you may be sure
that it is going somewhere, and you
will ALWAYS find it in the milk pail.
Good, regular care will count now.
Breeding and natural capacity are
powerless to contribute TO successful
stock raising unless accompanied by
thoughtfulness, intelligence and regu-
lar care.
Merit is not proof against neglect,
starvation and abuse. Give a COW just
enough to keep her alive and how can
she fill the milk pail?
Too MANY unobserving men expect
this. and they wonder why they are
poor.
How many farmers are preparing to
idle away the winter? Is there any
excuse for such practices, and is there
any other business that will permit it
Winter butter production is more
profitable than summer, then why not
be winter producer
Every degree you raise the tempera-
ture of the stable I'D TO comfort point
saves food and is one step in the right
direction for prosperity.
Don't let the heifers form the habit
of drying I'D early. With plenty of
food and good care they will milk
nearly the year round.
