brushed back from her forehead and
coiled at the middle of the back of her

hold it in place. No headdress or

Feeding on a Desert.

The American consul at Alden.
volume of Consular Reports of Curl
GUS herd of sheep in Somaliland, which
is a desert country. These sheep SUBJ
sist on prickly mimosa, a kind of desert
scrub bush, seemingly the most unpal-
atable of food. Their striking peculiar
ity, as described by the" consul, is a
large lump of pure fat growing right at
the root of the tail. A medium-sized
lump of this fat weighs about four
pounds, and it varies from one and one
half to six pounds. People who have
studied the nature and habits of these
sheep say that, like the camel, which
is able to subsist for days without food
from the strength derived from the It's
sues of his hump, this blackhead
sheep can subsist on the strength with
out any other sustenance. The prin-
cipal market for the skins is New York.
1t has been proven by trial that the
sheep are able to stand considerable
change of climate. A few years ago
four sheep were acclimated at the Zoo
logical Garden at Frankfort, Germany,
where their progeny now number about
80. There are vast stretches of desert
land in Arizona and elsewhere in the
West where cactus plants grow in pro-
fusion, but as yet no domesticated ami
mails have been successfully raised in
that region. Il has been proposed more
than once to import camels, but these
animals are not likely to prove service
able. The Somaliland sheep, however,
if accilmated in that desert region, to-
gether with the plant he subsists upon,
might prove valuable addition to our
list of domestic animals. 1t is no
doubt the thought of the consul that
such an experiment should be tried.

Alfalfa for Hogs.

Wherever alfalfa can be raised, the
best, as we'll as the cheapest, pork and
bacon can be produced, for alfalfa
gives growth to the muscle, making
the lean meat that is the best and sells
the best, And while growing in the
alfalfa fields the hogs get the exercise
needed for healthy development. The
alfalfa can be raised in very many por-
tions of Texas and wherever it will
grow it may be made highly profit
able crop and one that will get out Of
the swine industry its biggest possible
results.-Texas Stock and Farm Jour

Plants Easily Acclimated.

In New Zealand no fewer than 500
species of plants have been introduced
and acclimatised since the colonization
of the islands. The presence of these
plants there is ascribed directly or indi-
rectly, to the presence of civilized man.
They have followed him, and, curiously
enough, have driven before them some
of the plants indigenous to the soil.
Most of the invaders are small species,
yet they have prevailed over larger and
more vigorous native species.

A Good Bee Dog.

Dan W. Scott, If Pine Grove, has a
wonder in the way of bee dog. Any
one who has ever lived or visited in the
country knows what nest of humble
bees amount to when stirred up, and
the man who could face regiment of
soldiers in battle, or the dog that would
attack grizzly bear, could not always
stand his ground when exposed to. the
fire of a well-regulated bumble-bee
camp. However, Mr.. Scott's shaggy
shepherd dog is an exception to the gen
eral rule of dogs. He not only never
retreats, but does not desist until he has
killed every bee at home, and all that
come in range. He kills the bees by
swapping them.-Lexington, KY, Her

The Farmer Boy Awheel.

From Mercer County comes the dis
concerting news that the farmers are
conspiring to rid themselves of hired
men who ride the bicycle. The farm
ers, we are told, reason that ''any
young man who rushes his days work
through so that he can take a thirty
mile spin in the evening and on moon
light nights be gone nearly all night,
with likely a century ruin into the bar
gain on Sunday, is not worth his board
on a farm"
agricuIturists everywhere have been
sore1y harassed with the problem how
to keeps the boys on the farm, it is
much to be deplored that at the first
sign that this problem is solvabie they
should begin to set their faces against
it's solution. The claim that the rural
wheelman who looks forward to a spin
in the evening is, for that reason, un-
fitted for his work, is wrong on it's
face. AS a matter of fact, the con-
verse is generally true. The wheel
man, who sees an invigorating even
ing's sport ahead of him when his days
work is done, has manifestly more
cause to content with his lot and
therefore to throw his whole heart in
to his labor than the spiritless fellow
who finds no means of varying the
monotony Of existence. This holds
good in the case of clerks and profes-
sional men as well as in that of farm
hands. Let the boys ride wheels if
they want to, and one-half the difficult

getting the maximum of work out of

Since scab in potatoes detracts so
much from the profit in potatoes, it is
a good thing that there is an effective
way OF preventing it. A correspond

he does it with corrosive sublimate. /

years with perfect success. 1 put fif-
teen gallons Of soft water in large
tub, then add two ounces of corrosive
sublimate to boiling water in an earth
en- hand basin, stirring occasionally
with clean stick until completely dis
solved. This is stirred into the tub OF
water, which is then filled with seed
potatoes. These, if dirty, are first
washed and then drained. The pota-
toes are soaked in the solution an hour
and half, the latter is then drained OF

Narrowing Fall Grain in the Spring.
Some years ago l was obliged to run
a pulverizing harrow clod crusher and
leveler across a field that had been
sown with wheat. The harrow had
to be taken to a distant field that had
been sown with wheat. The harrow
had to be taken to a distant field for
spring work, and as it was unavoid-
able l run it across the field. l thought
the wheat would be killed, but it was
not, but on the contrary the path of the
harrow was soon as green again as the
rest of the field, and in short time
became conspicuously greener, and the
mark of the harrow was visible until
harvest, when the straw was some
inches taller, and much more heavily
filed with grain. This accidental eX-
perience led me the next year to har-
row all my winter grain in the spring,
with the same desirable result.-Henry

Destroying Lice ON Cattle.

Aloes in fine powder is a specific for
the destruction of lice on all animals,
and as it has no poisonous properties,
its intense bitterness being what kills,
it can be freely applied, and as it is to
be used in dry state its application is
as safe in cold as well as in warm
weather, consequently it is free from
all objections urged against other rene
dies. Use with a fine pepper box, dust
ing and rubbing it in all over, then
curry out inside of a week. Or, take
pound of fresh lard, a fourth of pint
of kerosene oil and 4 ounces of sui
phur powder or flowers of sulphur; mix
them thoroughly. With this mixture
rub the animals head, also the spine
and upon the shoulders and brisket and
under e thighs and wherever the ver-
min is seen. Repeat the operation once
a week until the lice disappear, which
will not be long. Or, take quassia
chips, steep in water and wash the
animal thoroughly. One application
will kill the lice, and in case of nits that
are not hatched, the second application,
put on a few days after, will entirely
rid the stock of the vermin.-American
Horse Book.

tub, the potatoes poured out on the
barn floor to dry, the tub filed with a
fresh lot of potatoes and the diluted
solution poured back on them. When
dried off, the seed is cut as usual. The
process is repeated until all the seed
potatoes are treated. The result was
wholly successful, both years the crop
being free from scab, whereas some
early potatoes planted without treat
ment were very scabby. The chemical
is a very active corrosive poison, and.
therefore, precautions are necessary.

20 The Cost of Eggs.

If eggs are high in winter, 1t is be-
cause they cost more in that season.
AS has been frequently affirmed in
these columns, eggs cost but little or
nothing in summer, if the hens are on
a range, and will then pay, even if
prices are low. If eggs are 35 cents a
dozen, the ''real food material costs
the consumer about % cents a pound; !;
but when eggs are Is cents dozen, the
consumer gets about 2A pounds of food
material for 25 cents. But in both cases
the farmer sends away the same pro-
portion of material from his farm; and,
whether the hen picks the food up her.
self or is given her share by her owner,
the loss of that much value from the
farm occurs. But again, the hen on
the range utilizes materials that the
farmer cannot sell. A dainty young
weed, a piece of bone, insects, seeds,
grass and refuse thrown away are all
made to do service by the hens convert
ing them into eggs. 1t will pay in win
ter to save food by keeping the hens
warm. If they are not well sheltered
more corn will be necessary to heat
their bodies. Shelter is not really food,
but it generally serves to economize in
its use for preventing the waste of corn
in the form of heat.-Mirror and
Farmer.

Instruction in Road-Building.

Instruction in ROad-BuI1o1uEs
The opportunities for instruction IN
building different kinds of roads at
forded occasionally at fairs and insti-
tutes, and by sample sections that have
been laid under government auspices,
have been very valuable, and have
aroused the people somewhat to
realization of Importance of regular in
struction on this subject. The Wor-
cester (Mass.) Gazette suggests that it
would be well if the State spent por-
ton of the enormous sum appropriated
annually for the highway system in
holding institutes of instruction for
highway supervisors, commissioners,
selectmen, and all others who have to
do with building. 1t thinks the
trouble with the highway builder usu-
ally is that he does not consider his
business a profession, and needs to
learn from the experience of others.
"By establishing a school for construc-
ton in bodybuilding, the State could
do a greater service to the public than
by using the amount such school
would cost in building macadam roads
