The Macaw and the Portrnit.

While Northcote was studying paint
ing with Sir Joshua Reynolds he paint
ed the portrait Of one of the housemaids
and placed the picture on the parlor
floor, resting against chair for the
family to see it. Sir Joshua had large
macaw. which he often introduced into
his pictures. Between the bird and the
housemaid there was no little hostility.
as she had to clean up after him and re-
scented his roaming habits.
When the picture was placed against
the chair. the macaw. being in dis
tant part of the room. did not see it.
but on Ietracing its steps the bird saw
the portrait of its enemy and. with out
stretched wings. furiously rushed at the
hated face and even tried to bite it
Discovering that the face did not
move. the macaw attacked the hand in
the picture AS it moved not. the bird
marched round the picture. as if exam
lining what the thing was and then
walked away Again and again the
macaw repeated the advance. the at
tack and the retreat
The singular story was noised abroad.
and Edmund Burke. DR. johnson and
Goldsmith visited Sir Joshua s parlor &c

more remarkable was that when the
macaw was tried with any other por-
trait it took no notice of the picture =

Feeding Young Pigs.

Professor Thomas Shaw recommends
the following supplemental feed for
young pigs where they do not get feed
enough from the sow: If there Is skim
milk on hand. partition off a place in
the pen where the dam is, If necessary,
but which she cannot reach, and there,
in low trough. feed some skimmilk
as soon as the pigs will drink it, As
soon as they take it freely feed them a
slop of shorts aud milk Then give
them little oats or corn strewn ON the
floor in addition to the slop Feed the
slop so that 1t will not become stale
at any time. If there is no skimmilk
at hand, thin slop Of shorts and wa
ter Is next best. presumably a little
warm If the weather is cool. But when
the trough room is ample young pigs
may have their food supplemented by
allowing them to eat with the dam at
will. The same kinds OF food that are
best suited 10 provide an abundance
of good pure milk from the dam will
alone provide the right sort of feed for
the pigs. But the trough should he low.
and one or more planks should be IN
front Of it. so that the little pigs can
easily get into 1t. and care should be
taken not TO feed much bran or the
bulls of oats to the SOW when the pigs
are learning to eat as such food is too
coarse for the digestion Of the little
pigs. 1t is surprising how soon they
VIII learn to eat thus along with the
dam. Take 1t all IN all, there is per-
haps no better mode Of management
than that just subscribed for average
conditions. 1t is the least iabored. It
answers very wen and forces one to be
cautious as to the character Of the food
given to the dam. Indiana Farmer.

HOW to ING wool Fleeces.

The first thing to be considered is
how to put up the wool so as to give
the buyer a good impression when he
first looks at it. T'.ere are a number
of ways of tying the fleece Some pre-
fer using a box, into which the fleece
is pressed and tightly tied so that
when it is taken out it retains the
shape of the box. says a writer in the
Montana Stockman. The fleece that is
most attractive and seems to get the
most comments from buyers in general
is the one that is simply folded. as
loosely as possible. and have it hold its
shape. using as little Irvine as will ac-
complish the object
Where this is well done light, bulky
looking fleece is made. which in the
market is more appreciated than the
more symmetrical fleece that comes
from the box. the criticism on the lat
ter being that pressing it so tightly
gives 1t soggy and heavy appearance
that repels buyer. The Irvine used
should be the regular wool Irvine, and
under no circumstances should sisal
irvine be used. BY sisal Irvine | mean
such as is commonly known as hide
rope and some kinds of binding Irvine
made from the sisal fiber The reason
why 1t should not be used is that its
fibers intermingle with the wool and
cannot be got out in process of manu-
faeture and have to be picked out of
the goods in the shape Of specks.
Now, as to the condition Of the fleece
before it is tied. 1t should be free from
all tags and heavy skirt locks and as
free as possible of all seeds, chaff or
straw as well as sand burs. Seeds and
chaff are very hard to get out of wool,
and where the fleece is bad with them
the value is hurt more than burs affect
it's value.

SCARCITY Of STATIONS.
Supply of Breeding Horses Short
Next Saasou

Supply of Breeding Horses short
Next Season.
From all that can be learned just
now there is every prospect that the
supply of breeding houses will be very
short next season, says The Horseman.
Last season number of well to do
farmers and others interested decided
to purchase stations to stand for pub
lie service in the vicinity of their
homes, but refrained from doing so
when they found they could not for
few hundred dollars pick up good
horse such as had been going a beg
ging in the dark days of the dull times.
Finding that for such a horse as they
wanted tbey would have to pay from
$1,000 upward, these intended pur-
chasers went home, having decided to
wait for another spring. and then they
could buy at a lower price.
1t was the general impression that
the squirt values had taken would in
duce SO many men to so to Europe to
import stations that in 1900 the sup
ply would be far greater than the de-
Aldd0f PAANCS OClIS
lower. Alas for such carefully laid
plans. The Importation of stations
this year has been disappointingly
small. Those who went to France
found that the supply was so light and
prices so very high that it was impossi-
BILE to get together any sort of large
lot with the prospect of making even
a fair profit on them. The Oaklawn
importation, which consisted of 20
head, was fully so short Of what it
was intended to be when Mr.. Fletcher
left for France. So with the other i'm
interested in British horses it was even
worse. The prices paid for good geld
lngs have risen so much of late years
in Britain that the knife has been very
freely used, with the inevitable result
that only the tops were kept entire.
There is a shortage Of horses In Brit
ain. and good demand prevails for
all high class stations. This put the
good ones away above the poin. at
which they could be imported safely;
hence only few have been brought
over.
One would be importer priced a good
looking ton weight 4-year-old horse
owned by prominent English breeder
of Shires. This was a whole colored
brown horse of weight, quality and
symmetry and prize taker at one of
the important shows of England. The
importer was fairly staggered when
the owner asked him 1000 guineas
$4,000 and decided there and then to
charge the expense of that trip up to
health account and let it go ut that
