IN A HURRY TO ENLIST.
Patriotic YOungster who Wants to
Join the Navy.

Join the Navy.
There will be at least one youngster who
will try to get in the navy when the re-
cruiting officers get to work. This young
fellow is very anxious to wear the blue.
His name is George Barran. He was up
at the Morning News Office yesterday
morning to learn where the officers could
be found.
Young Barran Is not old enough to be
enlisted. He was asked his age and said
he was 49, nearly, he said on after
thought. The young fellow was asked in
what capacity he would like to enlist.
Having apparently read that machinists'
places pay more than any other open to
recruits he thought a machinists job
would suit him pretty well. He said he
had had a little experience with machin-

If he were old enough, the minimum age

man, paying $19 a month.

SHEEP AND FERTILITY.
Some Reasons Why Every Western
Farmer Should Maintain n Flock
All the Year Around,

At the late meeting of Nebraska live
stock breeders Prof. j. A. Craig, of the
Iowa Experiment station, spoke on
'Growing Sheep The American farm
err had two problems to face in growing
sheep. One related to the maintenance
of fertility and the other to the profits
that were to be reaped. The time was
very opportune to urge upon the west
ern farmers the introduction of sheep.
New England had 1880 abandoned
farms. Farmers east and south are pay
ing $i0,COO,OOO year to maintain the
fertility of their soils. May we be
warned ere it is too late. The great
economy of pasturing off such crops as
rye, rape, clover and vctches is becom-
ing more and more apparent. No other
method Of providing fertility is equal
to it. One hundred breeding ewes on
farm will more than maintain the fer
tility OF 100 acres Of land, provided near
~ all the food raised is consumed on the
land, and provided clover to the extent
OF ten acres per year is one of the crops
grown. From such flock there should
be 800 pounds of wool to sell in the
spring, and 100 fat lambs to sell in the
summer OF Is pounds each live weight.
Ii the lambs are fed one-quarter of a
pound of oil meal per day it would more
than return to the soil all the fertility
removed by the sale Of the lambs. In
his Judgment good management would
bring return of five to ten dollars per
head from each eve, and the farmer
may still maintain his flock without any
deterioration.

HONS A nETR1MENT.
The Pail Attending Their Removal
Is VFy Much Exaggerated In
tie Mind of the Public.

Every how and then protest goes up
against dehorning cattle; the motive
put forward is that of humanity, says
the Wisconsin Farmer. In the case OF
breeding bulls, we are impressed with
the belief that dehorning should not be
done, although it is not mo ives of hui
manity that creates this belief Mere
ly as belief, without pretensc that it
is an ascertained fact, we think that
breeding qualities are likely to be i'm
paired by the sacrifice of Il he horns in
the case of horned breeds. Neither
would we dehorn pure-b1e ed cattle
grown as breeding stock, but when
horns are one of the characteristics of
the breed, we would leave them there.
When it comes to the question of ami
mails that are to go to the fee d lot they
should be dehorned every timt. a herd
crowded together, as in the fe cd lot, will
commit more cruelties and su fer more
cruelty, dozen times over, by reason of
having horns than any that may be
caused by the few moments of pain
which result from the operation of de-
horning. Indeed, from our observation
of the operation and of the behavior of
animals while undergoing it, we are of
the opinion that the pain attending it
is very much exaggerated in the popu-
lar mind. No evil consequences follow
it, and even the milk function in COWS,
which is so easily disturbed, suffers no
disturbance worth mentioning when
cows in full milk are operated upon.
Those who make these occasional pro-
tests pay no attention to the fact that
castration, spaying and the docking OF
lambs are operations at least as painful,
and for centuries more common than
dehorning. Perhaps this is just the
point-that they are common. All cat
tie should be dehorned before goin
into the feed lot. 1t makes them quicter
and more thrifty, the stronger tyran,
nize less over the weak, and all the cat
tie have more room in the same space
when the horns have been removed. In
order to avoid the supposed pain attend
ing the dehorning of animals, many ad-
vocate the use of caustic potash on the
calf as soon as the buttons can be felt
on the skull. This method is undoubt-
edly effective, and causes but little pain
if the operation is done carefully and
the caustic not allowed to touch the
skin.

Glover for Sandy Soil.

On all kinds of soil clover, when fully
grown, is benefit. Its roots break up
the heavy clay soils and make them per-
meable to air and moisture. But on
sandy soils clover growth as often as
every two or three years is necessi-
ty. 1t is only thus that what vegetable
matter it contains can be kept from
being washed or burned away and
wasted. It is often difficult to get a
clover catch on sandy soil. Glover needs
mineral fertility, both potash and phos-
phate of lime. In both these sandy soil
is generally deficient. There is no bet
ter single manure for sandy soil than
wood ashes. If from hard wood these
will also furnish some lime and phos-
phate.-Prairie Farmer.

SIMPLE FISH TRAPS.
They Work Well ut the Seasons When
the Funny Creatures Are Running
Up the Streams.

Fish traps are very convenient meth
DDS of taking fish at the seasons when
they arc running up the streams. They
are generally made Of laths in the form
of V, with the apex pointed up the
stream. Wings are fitted inside, as
shown in the upper part of cut, so as
to hold the fish which enter, as they
have the habit of following around the
sides, and in every instance miss the
opening by which they entered, and
are thus imprisoned, and easily dipped
out with a hand net. This method of
taking fish is mostly used to take cells:
which always come up streams to
spawn in the spring, and thus these
traps are commonly called eel traps.
Other fish which spawn in the fail are
thus taken at that season.
There is no reason why the traps
should not be made of wire netting.
which should not be less than one-inch

mesh, so as to let the small fish go
through, except that a good many fish
will get caught in the meshes, and die
before they can be taken out. This is
an objection against making the wings
of wire, for many fish would be caught
by the net and be either lost or be taken
out with difficulty. The ordinary meth
cd is to place row of stones in the
form of wings from the lower end of
the trap across the stream; these turn
the fish to the mouth of the trap, which
they enter rather than try to get over
the stones. This, however, is only pos
sible in shallow streams, and in the
shallowest parts of the bed. The trap
is generally set in the deepest water,
for the fish naturally choose this pas
sageway. The wire netting, of course,
would be open to the objection that it
would catch all the floating trash going
down the stream, and be thus very like
ly to be broken. This might be easily
removed, however, and it is the only
objection, except the cost OF it, that lies
against it.
Another form of trap for fish is also
shown in the lower part of the cut.
This is box of any convenient size, set
in stream, with wings placed to direct
the fish to the opening. 1t is open at
the front, of course, and the top as
well, and two rows of bars, or in this
case, Of wire netting, are set across as
shown. The fish go over the bars and,
being stopped by the end of the trap,
go down between the bars, and, like
a chicken hunting the hole in the fence
through which it got into garden, try
everywhere but at the right place. A
few may escape, but very few WILL

A GREAT BLACK MONSTER


and blew and danced, and it jerl1ed the
carpet frantically, but it kept getting
paler and weaker and its eyes began to

Value of Color in Eruif

The Farmers Review is impressed
with the fact that color is thing of
value in fruit, especially of apples. This
is shown in the better sale of thinned
fruit, on account of better color due to
more light when the fruit is maturing
The same thing is seen in the Ben Davis
apple, which sells on its color rather
than on its merits. People persist in
liking pretty apple.
