Young men OF wealth who are ex
pecting to fill responsible positions in
world of affairs are coming to realize
that mans worth depends not or
the number of his fathers dollars, but
on his own Individual merit and abil-
ity. A case in point, which may be
quoted, is that of young man en-
ployed in a famous steel mill in Massa
chusetts.
The young man is the son of one of
the most prominent mobiles in Sweden.
His father is high in favor with the
king, who has given him special hon
ors and intrusted him with extraordi-
nary functions. His ancestors in
every generation for several centuries
past have been illustrious in their
country's service.
The young mans object in obtainin 2
employment in an American rolling
mill is to gain experience that will fit
him to control large iron and steel
business which his father owns. He
came here Immediately on leaving the
university, from which he was gradu-
ated with high honors. lHe expects to
remain full year in Massachusetts,
after which he will go to other rolling
mills for further experience.
He works hard, and the foreman
says that he does not shrink from any
duty, however laborious, and expects
no consideration on account of his
rank. He lives with the other men
and dresses and fares as they do.

New Cures for Lunacy.

1.-THE cures which we have to resort to
are in many cases." said the head physi-
clan of one of the largest Scottish luna
tic asylums, "as curious as our patients
whims. One patient had for six years
been under the delusion that his head
was turned the wrong way physically.
We put him in a chair, tied him secure
ly, and then, having blindfolded him,
gave him an electric shock. He got up
crying with delight, and after that mo-
ment he was as sane as you or I. An
other declared he was top-heavy. We
weighted his feet with two three-stone
weights and left him for day. Wheth-
er the extra weight effected the cure
or not don't know, but he to-day holds
very responsible position under the
government, and is one of the clearest-
headed men I know. Another thought

When fowls are in the advanced

they may be cured by taking a small

REGULARITY PAYS.
Feeding the Hens Between Meals IL
Practice That Is Not to
BE Comm ended.

Have regular hour for feeding the
hens, and promptly appear on the scene
with the feed at that time. Give moth
ingin the intervals between these hours.
We have seen it advised to keep pail
of grain in the poultry house from
which a handful may be taken and
scattered on the floor every time the
place is entered. The theory is that it
has tanning effect upon the hens, and
inspires confidence in and affection for
the owner.
When this is done, however, the hens
will always be petitioning for food when
the owner is in sight. They will tumble
off the nesting boxes at the first sound
of his footsteps, and will crowd up
against the wire in a state of excited
expectancy whenever he nears the
house or yard. The hens will be more
quiet and contented if they are given to
understand that there are regular feed
ing times and they can expect nothing
between the hours appointed for that
purpose. They will devote themselves
more industriously to scratching out
the grain which has been buried in the
litter and will not discontinue this work
to claim "bonus" at the hands of the
owner every time he appears in the vi
cinity of the quarters.-Farmers'
Voice.

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Beeswax is usually dark, because Of
the impurities mixed with it, such as
particles of pollen, cocoons or propo-
lis.
If honey is kept in damp place it
will absorb moisture and soon become
thin and watery, and lose it's rich
flavor.
If not otherwise protected from the
high winds, tight fences or hedges of
evergreens should be placed around the
beeyard.
When the hives are troubled with
ants little pine tar smeared on a
board placed near the hives will keep
them away.
The use of comb foundation not only
saves great deal of labor and time to
the bees, but it also secures straight
combs in the frames.
Two drones cost as much to raise as
three workers, and after they are raised
they keep on eating, while workers la
Dor for you while they live.
During the winter is good time to
study up on bees. Read good books on
bee management. Much may be learned
from the experience of others.
One person with little help can
readily attend to 100 colonies if comb
honey is the product; if the honey is
extracted more help will be needed.
One objection to leaving the bees in
their unprotected hives in winter is
that the moisture arising from them
will condense and freeze to the hive.
The celler is good place to winter
bees if the temperature does not get
too high or too low, so as to make the
bees restless or consume too much
stores.
1t is important to have an alighting
place convenient for the bees to enter
the hive, and an east or south front is
desirable. Bees should not take a
flight while there is snow on the
ground.-St. Louis Republic.

The sort of sheep required few
years ago is not wanted at all at the
present time. Feeders are having the
same experience with mutton that has
been experienced with pork. The fat
is no longer wanted. We are to-day
catering to a finer taste in both
classes of meat, and this finer taste
calls for something which is not over
fat. You can find some first-class NUT
ton in all sheep of all breeds, but if
the carcass is made overfat we have
got to trim off a lot before cutting
chops for our customers. Even in the
cheaper cuts of meat, fats are no long,
er wanted. What is required is a good
leg and plenty of lean side cuts.-Mr.
Fculds to Dominion Sheep Breeders
Association.

DEEPENING LAKE ERIE.
Project to Dam Niagara River to
Meet the Diminution OF
Water.

The commerce of the great lakes is 50
vast that the lake waterway has be"
come almost as important as the path
across the Atlantic. In the lake navi-
CATION season of 1899, more than s, 000,
900 bushels of grain, nearly 100000
barrels of flour, 1900, 900 tons of iron
and 1.o0O,o00,000 feet of lumber passed
through the Sault Sainte Marie canal,
bound toward the east and Europe.
Practically all this traffic, and an
additional amount from Lakes Mich
igan and Huron, pass through Lake
Erie. Erie is the shallowest of all the
lakes, and the fact is apparent that its
level is lower than it was formerly.
The possibility of it's falling still more,
as a result of the diversion of some of
the water of Lake Michigan through
the great drainage canal from Chicago
to the basin of the Mississippi, leads to
an apprehension that sooner or later
the effect will be harmful.
Now a project has been devised, and
bill introduced in congress to carry it
into effect, to meet the diminution of
the water of Lake Erie by constructing
a dam in the Niagara river near Buffalo,
and raising the level of Lake Erie by
about three feet. Such dam would
deepen the water of the Detroit and St.
Clair rivers, and would render more Sc
cure and easy the navigation of this
great waterway along which so impor-
tant part of the food supply of the
nations is borne.
But to raise the level of Lake Erie
means to flood lands along its shores.
1t means to flood certain Canadian
lands, as well as Americans; and this
would necessitate international ar
rangement and costly compensation.
For this reason, as we'll as for the rea-
son that great public enterprises al
ways move slowly, the conversion of
Lake Erie into vast mill-pond will
probably be deferred for long period.

TENDER CLOVER HAY.
With Sliced Roots Added to 1t, 1t
Constitutes the Best Winter ,
Feed for Sheep.

The best possible dry feeding of sheep
isearly cut, tender clover hay, with the
addition of sliced roots. This is the
best possible dry, coarse feeding for
the winter. Ewes may be kept in the
best condition ON this feed without
grain. The addition of some grain
later, when the lambs are to be thought
OF, will be necessary, but only a mod
crate ration need be given. Sheep are
naturally herbivorous, and mischief is
frequently done by overcrowding them
with grain, when their digestive ap-
paratus is suitable only for herbaceous
fodder. Grain eating animals do not
need a large stomach, nor series of
them, for gradual reduction of the
hard and concentrated food to soluble
pulp. Doubtless the majority of sheep
lost during the winter feeding season
die on account of a misunderstanding
of this natural condition and require
ment.
Bulky food is essential to an herb
ivorous and Illuminating animal. Some
times, for instance, COWS have been fed
a whole winter on finely ground corn
meal without any coarse food what
ever, even hay. The result has been
that, rumination not being required
for the due maceration of the food, this
function was wholly suspended. The
size of the stomach even decreased,
shrinking, as the common adage goes,
ito the size of the ration" Life was
preserved, doubtless, and this might
have been useful in times of shortage
of coarse fodder, but we never heard of
any person but the discoverer of this
new method of feeding in the winter
who tried the experiment. This is q
typical instance. of natural require
ments of herbiverous animals.
Nature has been an exemplary pro-
wider for her own needs, and the natural
habits of feeding of any race of animals
which has been in existence for we
know not how many thousands of years
cannot we'll be set aside or disturbed by
modern invention. The shepherd must
take his flock as they were made and
now exist. And the closer he can i'm
itate the natural methods and habits
of the race, the better success he will
meet with in rearing the flock.-Amer-
