Selection of the Ram.


For spring lambs sheep are usually
mated in November, and if this Is to
be done proitably attention must be
paid to the ram used. If the n usu-
ally kept for that purpose is not up to
the mark a new one should be bought
or hired. Avoid the use of rams that
are known chiefly as prize winners,
for in their way they are quite as OBJ
~jectionable as the scrub ram, because
they have been pampered for the show
and have no lasting qualities.
A ram should never be selected be-
cause Of It's good looks. First, de-
eide on the breed wanted and then look
up the pedigree of the animal offered.
If there is a record behind him as q
sire Of good lambs, and he is kept in
good shape up to the breeding period
neither too lean nor too fat, the lambs
produced will be valuable. This is
some trouble, to be sure, but by taking
the course indicated one will know
W u lcdSOAdUle C6l ldluIy WHAT lHC
lambs will be. In a sheep section
such a ram will be a valuable animal
to own, for intelligent breeders will
gladly pay for the services of an ami
NAL of unquestioned record.
Heaves Not Durable.
That troublesome disease of horses
known as the heaves cannot be cured
when once it becomes we'll established,
but in its earlier stages the difficulty
is simply a bad cold combined with
indigestion and frequently gives way
to proper feeding. In any stage of
the difficulty only the best quality of
food should be given, mainly sound
pats, coarse wheat bran and sweet cut
hay, once a week adding a pint of
1axseed meal to the grains mentioned
and making a mash of the whole in
Guiding the hay. Water should be
given a full half hour before meal
time and never directly after eating.
What hay is given should be chopped
fine and fed with the bran and oats
the whole being slightly moistened.
This care in feeding and watering will
often cure what is considered a bad
case of heaves, showing that it is only
necessary to give the horses proper
attention as soon as any indication of
the trouble is noticed in order to ward
off what may prove to be a disease that
will make the horse almost valueless.
AS colds are often at the bottom of
the trouble, especially with young
horses, good care should be taken to
blanket the animals when warm and
have stables free from draughts.

into the field feed them in the barn
for a week or ten days on corn stalks
so that they will get used to the taste

allow them to remain in the field only
an hour or Sc. Salt and water should
be given freely while they are eating
in the field and while they are feed

FEATURING Corn stafks.
In sections where corn is grown
in large quantities it is a common
practice to turn cows into the field to
feed on the standing corn stalks from
which the ears have been removed. In
many cases trouble has resulted and
many valuable cattle have died. The
trouble is not caused by any fungous
growth on the corr stalks as was sup
posed, but from ~oyer-eating. This
need not occur If proper precautions
are taken. Cattle should not be turned
into the corn pasture until they have
been fed on other rations and have
had plenty of water. Care should also
be taken to provide them with all the

usually they would not have anything
else with which to replace it at night,
so they split the difference and tumble
down dressed as they are upon mat

Sister Saughamitta's Eurasian pro-
tegees gorged themselves with rice,
which they somehow managed to

The leading toward the higher life
among them therefore naturally began
with the religion of the body. Next
the undaunted American woman UNDER
took to enlighten their mental and
spiritual darkness. She commenced
with her pupils by instilling into them
through precept and example those
plain, moral and religious truths ac-
knowledged as axioms the universe
over. Morning, noon and evening, early
and late, she dinned into them honesty,
truthfulness, cleanliness and chastity.
Thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not
bear false witness; thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy soul, mind
and strength, and thy neighbor as thy
self: thou shalt keep thy mind. thy body,
thy garments, thy house and every ar
ticle thereunto belonging clean and
pure as heavens white lilies"-this is
the theology Sister Saughamitta has
undertaken the up hill task of incul-

degraded and wicked as any creatures
on this earth. The white man who
visits the oriental tropics is inclined
hastily and wrathfully to declare that
the brown tribes there are born thieves
and liars. OF these the natives of Cey.
Ion are among the worst. They have
associated with the white race long
enough to achieve it's destroying vices
without it's redeeming virtues. They
have contracted the white mans dis
eases in addition to their own which
they had already, ailments superinduc-
ed by uncleanliness and negligence.
Ceylon was colonized SO long ago by
white people that most of the original
natives descendants have more or less
European blood in their veins, and it
crops out everywhere, among the
swarms of crippled, deformed, blind,
scrofulous and imbecile as among the
sound and whole. AS to the moral
ideas of those to whom the American
woman went as an evangel, it is safe
to say not one in five has the faintest
notion that it is morally wrong to lie
or steal. They are like cats and dogs
in that respect-mere animals. On the
other hand they carry the Hindoo re-
lligious precepts against taking life so
absurdly far that they refuse often to
destroy the vermin upon their own bod
| les. And over all and through all is a
| fog of uncleanliness that one would
rather not speak Of.

eating among the brown skinned wo-
men and children of Ceylon.
In the convent of Sister Saughamitta
is chapel, with an altar bearing flow
ers, candles and the picture of Buddha,
and thither the gentle brown sisters in
their white robes repair at stated inter-
walls to pray. They take the vow of
celibacy, but may. be released from it
if they wish to marry or if they appear
to have mistaken their vocation.
Including all it's departments, the es-
tablishment built up by Sister Saugha-
militia has at length become very large
one. The convent owns the extensive
buildings and the grounds, several
acres, attached to them. The lawn is
beautiful with tropical trees and flow
ers. A kitchen, living and sleeping
rooms, baths, school and work rooms
are under the convent roof. This white
woman has undertaken to do for the
Buddhists of Ceylon work they would
not do for misunderstanding and
civilizing the poorest and lowest classes
among them. Rich and enlightened
Buddhists of Colombo appreciate this
and give the enterprise financial sup
port. For the rest-I observed in one
corner of storeroom in the convent a
heap of earthen vessels, globe shaped,
with slit in them like a child's saw
ings bank.
What are those things?" asked.

| In brief, when funds get low this del
icately nurtured woman, earthen bowl
in hand, goes forth with her maidens
into the highways and byways of the
city, as church sisters do in the white
mans countries, and begs money
to carry on her threefold work among
the poor-charitable, educational and
religious. Such begging bowls Buddhist
disciples have carried from ancient
time.
Four years the American Buddhist
woman has wrought in Ceylon. This
is the visible, tangible result at the
convent itself: A day school of 300, a
house where SO persons are sheltered
and fed and children's hospital. The
story of the starving waits the sisters
have rescued is a touching one. Chill.

white robe, with yellow cloak draped
over it. That garb the subject of this
sketch, in private life in other years
known as Countess Miranda de Souza
Canavarro, has revived and adopted
for herself and the young native wo-
men gathered about her in the convent
she has established at Colombo, Ceylon.
The work she conducts there is of a
kind not to be found elsewhere in all
the earth.
The countess is an American lady, to
this day loving her native land with
pure patriotism. Married very young
to "a foreigner. she left the United
States with him and has since lived
mostly away from her own country.
Children were born to her, and she
mothered them well, rearing them to
manhood and womanhood and seeing
them established in life. Then she be-
gan her own work as an individual.
Countess Canavarro is now Sister
Saughamitta, mother superior of the
Buddhist convent of saughamitta, No.
2 barley lane, Colombo, Ceylon.
In her religious faith she adheres to
Buddhism pure and simple, as she in
terprets it, the Buddhism Of $500 years
ago, stripped of the imaginations and
course of the centuries by ignorance and
prfestcraft. Her Buddhism inculcates
universal truths, the moral teachings of
Christ, of Plato, of Confucius and of the
Ten Commandments. In early life she
was drawn powerfully toward the orr
ent, as so many English speaking peo-
pie In their secret hearts are Under
the stars at night, beneath the sun
shine of day, sleeping and waking, she
{ bronded over the ancient east, the era
dlesof the races, and dreamed of work
for her there. This longing for the mys-
teal, silent orient is the swinging back
OF the pendulum from the hustle and
action of the western world.
AT Colombo the dreaming woman saw
revealed her work, and knew that.
though she should live to the age Of the
Hebrew patriarchs, here was a task for
her to do with her might during all the
years of it. Like true woman, her
heart went out in compassion toward
her own sex, with strong desire to help
them and make life better for them.
Sister Saughamitta settled down in
Ceylon to teach Buddhism to Buddhist
women and children. Honestly believ-
