LOADING STOCK.
A Portable Device which Is Conven-
lent and inexpensive.

A correspondent Of The Breeders
Gazette describes device for loading
hogs and sheep. 1t IS light and strong
and can be moved as readily as wheel
barrow. 1t can be backed up to the
wagon and by rope or chain attached
to the wagon bed and hanled to the dis
tant pen or lot where hogs are to be
loaded. 1t saves moving the hogs from
their feed lot to some strange place or
corner, which always excites or worries
some of them BY the use of hurdle
or two as many can be cut out from the
drove as will load the wagon. The
shoot and wagon can be backed up to
the door of house or pen, and the hogs
enter the wagon without any worry.
This cut represents one side of the
shoot set ready to load into the wagon.
1t is easily made. The bottom is two IL
inch boards inch thick and 10 feet
long. Each side has one board same di-
mansions and two boards inches
wide and inch thick, with spaces of
four inches. This makes he side 2 feet

SaIf md Wafer.

Grazing animals seem to need salt
more than carnivorous animals, and
especially seem to need it when their
food has large proportion of woody
fiber, more than they do when having a
succulent food, like green grass, roots
and ensilage. But with salt they need
water. Sheep drink but little at time,
yet in winter. feeding upon dry hay,
they drink very often. The water should
be pure and clean. Stagnant water is
often one of the causes that bring on
stomach worms which kill many lambs,
and, if not fatal to older sheep, will
keep them weak and in poor condition.

stair Climbing For the Lungs.

The average landlady of the aver
age lodging house is nothing If not
resourceful and original. When it
comes to the question of the merits OF
her particular house. the unoccupied
rooms of which are open to inspection
at unreasonable hours, her vocabulary
is practically unlimited, and while her
English may not always be without
reproach, it is sufficiently lucid and
forcible to give good idea OF the
many excellences of her domain. 1t
has remained, however, for a landlady
living not a thousand miles from West
Eighteenth street to make, with the
assistance of number Of unknown
medical men, the astounding discovery
that climbing up numerous flights of
stairs is not only not injurious, but is
actually beneficial to the health.
"Why, bless you," she said to a
young man, and unfortunate seeker
after rooms, who protested that the
fourth floor was too high for him be-
cause of the weary and hurtful stair
climbing "Why, bless you, it's the
best thing in the world for you. The
doctors all around here are recon-
mending stair climbing for dyspepsia
and lung trouble! They say it's the
best thing in the world for either one

AN oRpeR roR A HAMMOCK

Make me a hammock, deep and strong,
OF hue and pattern tasteful
OF dimensions not so very long,
For space this way Is wasteful.
I'm seeking hammock built for three.
Not often you have call so
Unusual? It's for Nell and me,
And for young Dan Cupid, also.
So common the hammock that's built for
two,
1t barely draws attention;
But the one am ordering now of you
Must hold the three mention.
Make it with such a wonderful weave,
For comfort and ease designed US,
That Nell, by my side, will hate to leave,
And no bungling chump can find US.
The hammock must know my touch, OF
course,
Since am the chap to use it.;
But it must rear up like balky horse
When another man would choose it,
And steady and true must this hammock
swing
To the will OF us happy three, sir;
For wish to be sure that no such thing
As a "falling out" will be, sir

High Lights.

The contented man is often man
with whom all his kinfolk are discon-
tented.
When a man is henpecked even the
women who would treat him the same
way feel sorry for him.
The woman who tells you a secret
knows in her heart that you can't
keep it any better than she could.
Cynicism is an indiscreet acknowl-
edgement that life's worries have got
the better of your cheer and courage.
Man is known by the company he
keeps; woman is known by the COM
panies she has when she entertains.
There Is a current prejudice against
housekeeping. but every real woman
likes to tie her head in towel and
stir things up from garrett to cellar.
1t is more blessed to give than to
receive; especially when your cook
makes better strawberry shortcake
than that sent over by the woman
next door.-Chicago Record.

frame a word which would be readily
Ineligible to all who understand the
language Of Flanders and who had

result was that after much deep
thought they framed the following
word: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

signifies "a carriage which Is worked
by means of petroleum, which travels
fast, which has no horses and which Is
not run on rails" This is. from one
point Of view, a fine example Of mui-
tum in parvo. but it may be questioned
whether one extraordinarily long word
ia preferable to half dozen short
words. The Flemish people, however.
think differently, and the academicians

skill as seen in this unique word.

How Fisherman Davis Met Whale.

William Davis was out in his small
boat near Libby island, where he was
preparing some lobster traps. when o
very large whale rose out of the water
not forty feet ahead of his boat and
began sporting water into the air. The
wind was blowing in the direction Of
the boat, SCATTERING the water all ovel
him and befogging him to such an az.
tent that he imagined himself in Q
typhoon. But before Mr.. Davis could
recover sufficiently to change hi;
course the boat was up to the whale.
One flop of the monsters tail nearly
filed the boat with water, and ther
the animal sank. Mr.. Davis estimates
that the whale was from sixty Il
ninety feet long. Lewiston maine
