N1BBLED AT POKER CHIPS.
Joke of Philadelphia Merchant at
the Expense of SpOrtive
Employees.

Business sometimes drags during the aft
ernoons down among the Water street
wholesale houses, and on the principle that
when the cats away the mice will play the
clerks often amuse themselves with quiet
little poker games, says the Philadelphia
Record. The proprietor of a tea and coffee
warehouse left the other day about three
o'clock. But he changed his mind about
two hours later, and discovered four of his
trusted employees engaged in game of poker.
They were caught dead to rights, and there
was nothing to do but bluff it out. There
wasn't anything going on explained the
banker, $50 we thought we would try little
poker-just for fun, you know"
As matter of fact, they were playing a
25-cent limit game, and in lieu of chips grains
of raw coffee represented five cents each and
roasted coffee grains were rs cents. "Pll
just sit and watch you for awhile" said the
merchant, who is something of sport him
self. He pulled chair alongside the fellow
who had the most coffee in front of him,
and the game proceeded. At intervals he
would reach over, pick up couple of roast
ed grains and chew them, meditatively. At
the end of half hour he had eaten 1915
worth of coffee, and the erstwhile winner
could make no protest. When he finally
left the store there was twinkle in his eye.
The banker hasn't succeeded in getting his
affairs Strengthened out yet.

HELPFUL SHEEP NOTES.

Lambs may be pushed from birth by
stimulating the ewes flow of milk.
A weakling twin is not worth saving.
1t will cost more than it will ever
come to.
Recent experiments in sheep feeding
at the Montar" experiment station go
to show that a.sike gave better results
than either red clover or alfalfa.
An excellent lamb food to begin with
is two parts bran and one part corn
meal or crushed oats or barley, and one
part of cotton seed meal if it can be
procured.
Unskillful shearing calls for imme-
date attention to the proper treatment
of cuts made in the skin. These should
be Immediately protected by coat of
clean pine tar.
AS soon as the sheep are sheared the
ticks will gather on the lambs, much to
their discomfort and damage. The
easiest remedy is to dip the lambs or
to wet the skin all over with any good
sheep dip.
Unshorn ewes must positively be
clipped about the udder so that the
lambs may get their milk easily. Weak,
newly-born lambs should be incubated.
Wrap the lamb in a warm blanket and
put it in Il box or basket kept near
fire.--American Cultivat0r.

TRAINING THE COLT.
First Lesson to He Impaired Is Per-
feet Confidence in the Will
of the Master.

The colt should be allowed to run
with the dam until it is six months old.
The mare should have plenty of grass
and such other food as may be neces-
sary to keep her in good condition and
keep up the flow of milk. The colt
should be handled and fondled from
the time it is a week old, accustoming
1t to the use of the halter. Thus it
becomes accustomed to the master, and
if kindly treated will soon come to seek
the fondling hand. As soon as it will
eat, say at about two months old, it
should be accustomed to a little oats
daily, the amount being gradually in
creased, until it gets full ration at six
months old. When ready to wean it
will already be accustomed to lead by
the halter. Feed generously. Give it
plenty of water. Horses should have
intelligent management, because they
are intelligent animals. They have a
sense of reason which may be i'm
proved by training. They are nat
urally disposed to rely upon their mas
ter, and this disposition should be Gull
tivated and in no case overcome by
fear of injury. They are courageous
and at the same time timid. Their
courage should be cultivated, since it
increases their spirit and decreases
their timidity. They fear objects with
which they are not familiar, but if
their confidence in the master is
greater than their fear they can be
induced to approach objects to them
most fearful. Teaching the young
animals that while the master must
be obeyed promptly and implicitly, he
is yet an indulgent master, requiring
nothing but what is necessary 20 be
done, and that when the task is per-
formed the rewards of kind care and
rest will follow. No horse broken by
main strength and brute force is ever
quite safe in unskilled hands. The
first lesson to be impaired is perfect
confidence in the will of the master,
which is given when the colt is first
haltered.-J. c. Ware, in Farmers Re-
view

London and the immediate vicinity
