FOOD AFFECTS WOOL.
Why 1t Is Important to Provide sheer
with Proper NOurishment the
Year Around.

A bulletin of the Michigan station
says: The strength of the weakest
place in the fiber decides the strength
of the whole fiber. So far as the
writer has been able to discover there
is no special ration, which, if fed to
sheep, will produce wool of great
strength, nor can we. at any time,
say that any special ration Is to be
recommended to produce a large
quantity of wool. 1t has often been
observed that sheep and lambs that
have been on full feed for long peri
DDS shear heavy fleeces of wool.
This would indicate that any ration
calculated to keep the sheep in a
thrifty condition would be a suitable
one for growing large quantities of
wool. From what we have said above,
the wool grower will understand that
it is highly desirable to provide the
sheep proper nourishment through
out the year, permitting no periods
Of neglect to intervene to destroy the
strength of the tbers of the fleece.
Liberal and judicious feeding does not
change the quality of the wool, but
it does affect the strength and the
quantity of the wool produced by a
given sheep. The weight of wool pro-
duced is affected both by increasing
the length of fiber and by increasing
the amount of yolk and natural oil
in the fleece.

HE BASELY DECEIVED HER.
Let Her Think She Was Reforming
Him, When He Had No Bad
Habits to Break.

$50 your engagement is broken?' said
the girl in gray, according to Pearson S
Weekly
Yes, it is" replied the girl in brown,
frowning at the recollection.
"What was the NATTER"
1He basely deceived me" answered the
girl in brown. You see, it was this way:
| asked him one day to promise me that he
never again would smoke cigarettes, and he
promised. Then | asked him to refrain from
the use of tobacco in any form, and he prom
Used to do that. Later | told him | had a
horror of anyone who touched liquor, and he
agreed never to touch it. After that | sug-
gested that | thought clubs had bad inhu-
ence on young men and | should expect him
to give them up, and he said he would. |
also took up the subject of gambling, and
made him promise that he would stop play
ing cards and betting on the races"
well, you didn't demand a great deal
of him, did your" said the girl in gray. Il
suppose he deceived you in the matter?"
HE did"
Broke his promise, did he?"
ooh, no! | could have forgiven that. But
just when | was congratulating myself that
at least had reformed one young man
found that he didn't require any reforming
He wasn't addicted to a single one of the
habits | made him promise to break. 1t was
terrible shock, and | broke the engagement
at once. There was no longer anything in il
to make it interesting"

burning Out Old stump..

The easiest way to get rid OF
stumps in field or meadow is to burn
them out. Dig trench around the
stumps about two feet wide and two
and one-half or three feet deep, cut
off all projecting roots quite close and
remove the soil as well as possible.
Then leave the stump for few days
TO dry. Gather up lot of dry sticks,
brush, etc, and fill up the trench all
around and on top of the stump and
set it on fire. The stump will be con-
sumed in a day or two. Even green
stumps may be burned out in this
way, although it may require a sec
ond or third supply of dry sticks ON
the fire to accomplish i'll. o. Folio,

GOOD HONEY PLANTS.
a. H. Dun Considers Bokhara Glover
Excellent for Bees, for Feed
and for Seed.

You can greatly improve your honey
flow in your locality by putting out
honey plants, those that also are USE
full or ornamental, besides the honey
they produce. Perhaps the best honey
bearing plants and trees are those that
are good for other purposes as well.
The most abused and misrepresented,
and the best honey plant that grows,
is bokhara clover. What l know
about bokhara clover is from my own
experience, having thoroughly test
ed its usefulness not only for honey,
but for food and seed. Bokhara is
an immense seeder, and will produce
ten bushels of seed per acre under or
binary conditions. This seed has a
ready market at wholesale seed houses
at from six to ten cents per pound,
and usually is retailed to growers at
from IS to 20 cents per pound That
bokhara is a good feed for stock L
can testify, having used it myself.
This clover, like alfalfa, stock do not
naturally take to. as they do to some
grasses, especially such grasses as
grow in the middle and eastern states,
where timothy, blue grass and red
clover abound. Stock there will usu-
ally go around it just as they will
alfalfa, if alfalfa grew there as it
does here. This being true, and from
the fact that bokhara spreads and
grows spontaneously on road sides,
has given the impression to some peo-
pie that it is only worthless weed,
and for the want of proper investiga-
ton and thorough testing it is thus
misrepresented.
If 1 were planting trees for both
honey and other uses. l would plant
linden or Eastwood" as it usually is
called, and also catalpa. The linden
is very valuable for it's white. fine
grained wood. and, as shade tree,
scarcely has an equal. The catalpa
is noted for its everlasting posts, and
in this regard it is said to have no
equal. 1t also is a beautiful shade
tree and both the foliage and the bios
SONS are very ornamental. - A. H..
Duff, in Farmers Voice.

device up before his face, with A at his
nose, he brings the point CO. in range
with the stump that is to be. Then he
backs away slowly until he can bring
d in line with the top of the tree. He
says that the distance from himself
10 the foot of the tree will be equal to
the height of the latter.
The Tribune finds it hard to under
stand how this device can be used as
described, unless the upper end of CD
leans backward toward the mans
head. 1t would then be no longer per-
pendicular, and the true principle of it
would be sacrificed. But if the sticks
were put together as in Fig. greater
accuracy would be secured. Then ABB
would be horizontal and parallel with
the earth, and Be would be vertical and
parallel with the tree trunk. Under
these circumstances. the distance from
the mans feet to the tree would be
equal to the height of the tree. The
principle employed is nearly the same
as That used on warships a sea to get
the enemy's range.-N. Y. Tribune.

CABINET FOR STABLE.

1t fastened or rest about five feet
from the floor. If screwed to the side
of the barn, the open top will become
the side. Put in shelves, compart-
ments, straps, as tool holders, etc. To
close the box, drop-leaf side is put
on by Ringing at the bottom and
fastening supporting straps from the
upper corner of the box to the outer
corner of the leaf. This will make a
table before the closet when open. If
this is not desired, put a screw eye in
each upper corner, connect with a
wire and hang over the wire a thick
cloth for a covert. L. Irwin, in

Antiquities of Baseball.

A north Missouri editor, who first studied
baseball rules while Sunday school boy,
enters into the following antiquities Of the
national game: The devil was the first
coacher. Eve stole first. Adam stole second.
When Isaac met Rebecca at the well she
was walking with pitcher. Sampson struck
out a good many when he beat the Philis-
slew the Egyptians. Cain made base hit
when he killed Abel. Abraham made sac
rifice. The prodigal son made home run.
David was a long-distance thrower and
Moses shut out the Egyptians at the Red
sea."-Chicago Chronicle.

TALK ABOUT COWBELLS,
They Are Made To-day Exactly as
They Were Hundred
Years Ago.

Zone of the comparatively few
things that the hand of improvement
has not touched is the cowbel,
which is made now Just as it was a
hundred or more years ago, and has
now just the same peculiar clanking
sound as ever" said a bell manufac-
turer to a Washington Star writer
recently. "Cowbells are made some
of copper and some of a composition
metal; but most of them are made of
iron and finished with coating of
bronze. The cOwbell is not cast: it is
cut from a sheet of metal. which is
folded into shape and riveted. The
metal cap at the top, through which
the strap is passed, is riveted into
the bell. Cowbells are made of ten
sizes, whose sounds range through an
octave. Sometimes musical enter
tainers who play upon bells of one
sort and another come to us and by
selection among bells of various sizes,
find eight bells that are accurate in
scale.
here are only four factories in
the United States in which cowbells
are made. and in each case the cow
bell is only an item of production
among other things. Cowbells are
sold all over the country, Just the
same as ever. but much the greater
number is sold in the south, the south
west and the west, where farms are
larger, less likely to be under fence
and cattle are more apt to stray.
American cowbells are exported quite
largely to the various countries of
South America and also to Australia"
