Convinced that the men knew their

the greater part of ten years, and do

Our $4,000 lambs were run in six
bands, with a herder in charge OF
each; so there were five herders be-
sides myself. Mr.. Martin was fore
man of our crew, Frank Willis was
cook on our wagon, and John Norris
was night herder. We left Santa Fe
on the LIST day Of May, and the weeth-
er was hot. On the second day we
discovered that the wethers which

age was good. At night we always
tried to find a hillside for the camp
Sheep have a great many peculiar no
tions, and will only lie down quietly
on a hillside. We made only about
eight miles n day, as we gave the
sheep plenty Of time to Craze. While
the rest Of US slept the night watcn
went his rounds, moving about the
edge Of the camp and keeping a sharp
lookout for wolves Both our outfit
and the flock of wethers were man
aged in the same way.
Passing through Colorado we often
had to cross ranches, for there is but
little open range left in the eastern
part OF the State. And sometimes we
were hard pressed to keep from dam
aging crops. On several occasions
ranchmen demanded small damages,
which Mr.. Martin always paid.
1t was early summer when we start
ed, and we kept on through midsum-
mer in the dry heat and alkali dust
till the grass was Drowned by frost.
Across Nebraska we took the straight.

water. We reached the river opposite

The Nursery ventIlation.

The air of the nursery, which in
cludes temperature and ventilation, is
a matter to which the mother and
nurse should pay the strictest atten-
ton. The temperature should never
be above seventy degrees, and then
only for a premature or very young
infant; q temperature of sixty eight
degrees is far better and more health
full, and at night it may be many de-
grees lower. Children brought up in
close, overheated nurseries are al
ways pale, puny, oVer-sensitive to
cold, and much more liable to con-
tract pulmonary disease; babies sleep
much better at night if the air in the
room is cool and fresh. During the
day the air in the nursery should be
changed as often as possible-that is,
whenever the baby is out of theroom.
Even if this happens several times a
day, take advantage of these absences
every time and change the air. When
the baby and nurse are out for sew
eral hours, let the nursery air during
the time, closing the windows per-
haps a half hour before they are ex-
pected to return. If, whom they ar
rive, the temperature is not quite as
high as it should be, it certainly is no
colder than the outside air from which
the baby has just come. In this case,
until the room has its proper warmth
the babys wraps need not be re-
moved. At night when the window
is lowered, and the air, therefore,
much cooler, protect the crib from
any possible draught by drawing a
screen about it or even pinning a
sheet about the crib. Mariana
Wheeler, in Harper's Bazaar.

count up TO about 500, and then l
would become so dizzy watching the
swiftly moving stream of animals that
would have suddenly to shut the
gate that closed the narrow exit,
which was just wide enough for a
sheep to pass through. This done, l
would jot down the number in my
book and then let my foreman,
John Martin, take my place as long as
he could stand it. We were getting
along nicely and had counted up to
5000, when Martin made an unpleas-
ant discovery. The gate which was
the entrance to the first corral was
next to the partition fence, and the
"greaser" who was tending the gate
was forcing sheep through the loose
fence back into the first corral, when
they would be counted the second

Leather cozy corners have rather a
dubious sound, yet they are cozy,
comfortable and artistic; moreover,
they are the newest thing in the decor
alive line. The leather is buckskin,
of the softest finish and decorated
with the much-favored typography.
If you are an expert at this work you
may get up an elaborate effect at com
paratively little cost, but if you have
to pay for the decoration as we'll as
the material it is an expensive luxury.
To make a complete corner" the
couch should be covered with the
leather, having a conventional border
and finished on the bottom with
slashed leather to form q deep fringe.
The wall on two sides should be
covered to a depth of from two to
four feet, according to taste, with the
leather stamped in some decorative
style, q good idea being to represent
scenes from Shakespeare or from
some other literary source. The
couch pillows are covered with leather
stamped with scenes to match, or with
monogram, coat OF arms, floral or con.
ventional design. The natural color
of the leather is preferred for all of
these effects, but may be varied by a
border in olive, maroon or other con.
trasting shade. The pillows are
finished on the edge by lacing OF
the two sides together by leather
strip. No other material is to be in
troduced on pain of spelling the artis.
tic idea.
