Sheep Need Dry Bedding.

Many people who keep sheep under
sheds on an earthen floor in cold wealth
er make the mistake of not providing
bedding enough, thinking that it will
interfere with properly packing the
manure which is trodden into hard
mass by them. But little dry straw
should be scattered over the floor at
night, and it will be none the worse
If it is the refuse of what the sheep have
picked over during the day. Even the
fattening sheep will eat some straw
each day as change Of food, and it will
select the upper part of the stalk near
the head. Oat straw is the best for
this purpose. The sheep is very impa-
tient Of wet. and besides, it is injurious
to the wool to have It soiled by manure.
II the ends Of the wool are closed by
filth this stops its growth, just as 1t
does on the tags, which, even after they
have been secured, are not worth as
much 40 clean wool from other parts Of

GROUND PLAN.

alley should be suspended above the
troughs, to shut the hogs away from
them while putting in the feed.
A platform the width of the alley,
with the proper incline and at the end
of the alley most accessible to wagon,
furnishes very convenient way of
loading and unloading hogs. The
small doors opening from each pen to
the alley makes such platform avail
able. The location of a piggery should
be high and dry, and a southern eK-
posure is desirable because more SUM-
shine, especially in winter, is thus made
available. The pen should be reason
ably warm, so that close huddling of
the swine will not be necessary in or

Place for EARLY Lambs.

I do not fancy the basement for the

just the place for the lambs, especially
during early lambhood. At this time
they require warm, even temperature

of better place for these features than
in we'll arranged and lighted base

raising winter or early spring lambs, it

important feature. The most noaccess-

to take advantage of basement or it's

GREAT HEAD.
A Small Saleslady Who Knows a
Thing or Two About Manip-

It was just before New Years day, and
Mamie and Sadie were having friendly
chat over the counter. Mamie was dimin-
utive salesgrl, not much older than Sadie,
whose daily attention was given theoret-
ically to the cry of "Cahsh!'
"Say, Mamie," remarked Sadie, "did We
see them calendars on the table two rooms
over?"
(Which ones?'
@<Them 25cent ones"
"Did see 'em?" with peculiar emphasis
from Mamie as she pulled open drawer
and pointed triumphantly to two specimens
of the said calendars
"You bought two of 'em?" in awe
struck tones from Sadie.
"Well, I amt bought 'em yet. I just
picked out two of 'em and put 'em away.
They'll mark the ones that's left down to
five cents pretty soon. Then I'll put these
here back and buy 'em, quick. See?
Sadie saw, and her mouth fell open in ad.
miring awe: Then she recovered herself.
"Say! will ye save one for me?"
"Sure."

utes third calendar was in the drawer

SALTING CLOVER HAY.
Some Reasons Why the Practice II
Rather to BE Encouraged
Than Condemned,

The farmer who guides himself by
what he reads about sailing clover hay
will probably become confused, says a
writer in the Stockman. One authority
says never salt tit is dangerous to do
SO. Another no less confidently assures
us that it should be salted; he has al
ways done so, likewise has his father.
Plainly when doctors differ the individ-
ual may use his reason about the mat
ter, and if possible decide for himself
The objection against salt is that it
is deliquescent and therefore an in
crease of moisture is to be expected
from its use. After many years of OBJ
servation and experience we have con-
cluded that for us sailing clover hay is
very desirable. We have endeavored to
arrive at this conclusion intelligently
by repeated tests both in the NOW and
stack. The clover which is sufficiently
cured to keep without sailing will not
suffer from heat if Salts applied. While
it is true that salt is deliquescent, yet
it is altogether probable that this draw
back is balanced by the preserving quail
ity, for why should salt cease to pre-
serve hay when it is applied to other
commodities for this purpose? Yet we
can admit, If necessary-which our OBJ
servation does not warrant-that salt
ing does not materially preserve the
hay, and still claim our case. The pref
erence of the stock for the salted hay
is apparently a sufficient guide. Suppose
the individual had to partake of his food
unsalted, would he not make an objec-
ton? Neither would he be reconciled
to this if his salt came in daily or week
ly iuStallments.

Plenty OF Salt for Stock.

All kinds Of farm stock should have
salt where they can get to it at will.
Rock salt placed under shelter should
be kept before them at all times. Be-
sides this, stock should have a small
amount of loose salt twice week. None
of the animals will eat too much salt
it 1t Is kept before them constantly.
Salt stimulates the appetite, assists d.
gestion and assimilation and increases
the flow of the fluids Of the body. Where

his methods of transmitting power hundreds of miles through the air with out wires.
 We live under a blanket of air which protects us from the extreme cold of outer space. This low temperature be- comes evident 14,0O0 or 15, ,000 feet above the surface of the earth, and would, IS l have said, reach point far below zero at height of ten miles. At this height we should no longer observe the twink ling of the stars; for this scintillation is due to the movements of our atmos- phere, which at the height I have men tioned would be extremely rarefied. If one could photograph the suns spec trum at this altitude we could greatly extend our knowledge of the shortest wave lengths of light; for the atmos- phe7e completely absorbs such wave lengths as are concerned in the X-ray phenomena. That this absorption real ly takes place can be proved in a labora- tory.
 The heat and light which we receive from the sun are thus greatly modified by this blanketing layer of air. The long waves of the energy from the sun are called heat waves. The interme- diate waves are ter-4ed light waves; and we receive these in full measure. The very short waves, however, are stopped by our atmosphere and are transformed -what?-Forum.

BABYISH BOYS.
Mothers Are Often to Blame for Their SOns' Lack of Man
 lineBs.

No woman admires a babyish man, yet one frequently sees a mother train ing a babyish boy. He comes in PouI- ing and crying because some one treats him unfairly, or the fellows won't let him play, or he has met with fall, and everyone is to blame but himself.
 His mother coddles and pets him; criticises the other boys; gives him piece of cake, and keeps him in with her.
 The boys don't like to play with him. They call him mothers darling and baby boy, and they get rid of him in every way as soon as possible. He is peevish, selfish and overbearing at home, but that is interpreted as a se- quence of his playmates spelling him.
 This kind of boy grows up and takes his fretful, fault-finding, unlovable dis position with him. He has no luck in the world. His mother only is patient with him, but even she cannot be proud of, nor lean lovingly on, such a son.
 How much better would it be for a mother kindly to show her little son his fault! And in so doing she need not lose sympathy for any real hurt or childish sorrow.
 As d rule, mothers consider their own offspring entirely superior to other chill dren; they listen to a one-sided tale, and harshly judge the otSer side, and iE consequence neighbors fall out and children are encouraged to disagree a twofold injury.
 ''The other boy didn't mean to hurt you, Johnnie" was a wise woman's re- ply to her complaining son. "I have seen you throw the ball in the same way, and very likely you do other naughty things, so you really have no right to get mad. Besides, it will only make other children laugh at you and call you names. Now you must put stop to that by showing them that you can be manly, and are willing to take what you send. Go, my son; it really hurts mamma to see you babyish."
 Such course as this mother pursued was most sensible; it developed the child's sense of right, of justice and un- selfshness.
 If you think it a slight thing, mothers, you are mistaken. You take the easiest way to rid yourselves of the matter, really and metaphysically, and caution him to 'let those boys alone"
 If his playmates are really bad, it is your business to know it, and guard your son from contamination; but you do him an injury to keep him from the company of other rollicking, sturdy, good-natured boys-boys in the full est sense of the word.
 Some time he must match his strength, physically and morally, with his kind; he must battle with life and it's prob lems when mother is powerless to shield him from the worlds hard knocks.
 Some time he and you must awaken to the knowledge that it is only by courageously meeting disappointments' and Encouragement that manly strength natures. Happy is the boy who has had that wise help and that sometimes wiser letting alone, when occasion demands, which inures and en- pobles his moral muscle !-HouseWif
