RACK FOR FEEDING sHEEp.

resented in the cut has beer used by
the author for a number Of years and
found to be satisfactory. The racks
can be SO arranged that feed may be
put into them directly from a wagon.
u cut silage is fed, this should be put
In first, as it will fall through the rack
Into the troughs After the silage lis
properly distributed the racks can be
filed with hay.
til rack represented is 70 feet long.
The frame is 3 feet 6 inches high and 9
feet / inch wide and is made from 2
by a inch lumber. The bottom cross
pieces, the upper edges OF which are
sfoot I inch from the ground, and the
two pieces running lengthWise on the
upper portion of the rack are framed
into the posts. Theupper ~crosspieces
are IL by. 6 inches and are nailed Is
the outside Of the posts. A Q by 4 inch
scantling runs lengthwise in the center
OF he rack andis framed to the bottom
crosspieces. To this is nailed at the
bottom q I by 5 inch strip for the
trough to rest on. Two boards, i foot
wide and ~ inches thick, placed each
stde&of the centerpiece make the bot,
of the trodghs, and an outside
board 1Eby 8 inches, extending up 331aa
inches above the door on the trough,
completes it,. The Stats for the rack
are w by seven-eighths inches and are
placed ~ inches apart. For outdoor
use in q wet climate the rack should be
roofed. This is done by mailing three
pairs of rafters OF the desired pitch on
the top Of the frame, d (Which, on one
side, one-haf inch shiplap, or weather
boarding, is nailed lengthwise. The
other side Of the roof should be attach
ed with hinges, SO it can be lifted up
when feed Is to be placed ia the rack
SA one-half by 2 inch strip should be
nailed to the caves SO as to form a sort
of caves trough to prevent water from
dripping on the sheep while feeding.
When fed in large fiocks, the sheen
should be driven from the feedyara
during the time the racks are being
filed. This will overcome the tenden-
ey tosoVercrowding and prevent injury
TO the sheep from the wagon and team
5The#auantity Of this feed to be fed
should be governed largely by the ap5]
petite Q the flock, but it is not usually
advisable to feed over three pounds Of
silage per head daily. Fol sheep

London Lloyd.s Knows All About Ever


Ship That Floats the Ocean.
London has two institutions that
have been denied to the rest of the
'world-Tattersall's, the Britisher's
substitute for the continental lotter-
les, and Lloyd's the hub of all ship
ping, says the New York Press. Tat
tersalls for many years has been the
center OF all business relating to horse
racing and betting throughout the
United Kingdom. Lloyd's started in a
cofee-house kept by Lloyd, who in
l06 set apart one small room where
the underwriters and insurers Of ships
cargoes could meet for r~efreshment
and conversation. The rooms are now
In the Royal Exchange, the rendezvous
OF the most eminent merchants, ship
owners, underwriters, insurance, stock
and exchange brokers. "Loyd's books"

rooms. They give the movements OF

LloyRs is composed of 700 members,
and has an annual income of $3.50, 600.
Its staff numbers more than 1900
agents in the seaports of the world. It
keeps track of a fleet of $4,000 vessels,
of which about II, 900 are steamers, the
total representing a tonnage of 3O,O0O,-

amounting to some $23O,OOO, 900. This

men. 1t was Lloyd's Register that
coined the expression CAL" univer-
sally used to denote anything that is
first rate, the very best. "She is a
prime girl. she is; she is AL" said
Sam Slick. The character of a ships

mated by letters, and that Of the an
chors, cables and stores by figures.
CAL" means hull first rate and also
anchors, cables and stores; "A-2" hull
first rate, but furniture second rate.
Vessels of al inferior character are
classified under the letters AE, E and

story is told on n of the old stagers.
who had lived a life Of great anxiety
and speculation. Most Of the members
Of Lloyd's are as superstitious as sail
ors, having a strong antipathy to the
insurance of certain ships. A stanch
vessel was named after our old stager,
and 1T was regarded as strange that
he refused to insure her. He declared
emphatically that he would never

Winter Gardening for Children.

-
To keep up the interest which the
children have shown this summer in
growing plants, make a sweet potato
cup. Cut about two inches off one
end of a well-grown sweet potato,
scoop out about half of the inside and
fill the hollow with water. Fasten a
string about the potato, with another
string attached to it to suspend it in
the window. Keep the cuplike hollow
filled with water and in a short time
sprouts will appear. The vine will
be a very pretty one Another window
s;reen is made by soaking a sponge
full of water and sprinkling it well
over with grass seed. 1t will soon
be a ball of green. If any part of
the grass dies, sprinkle in more grass
seed. Keep it wet.

A WARM WELCOME,
The Old War Horse Made His Masters

The Old War Horse Made His Masters
Heart Glad.
Old Spot was General Kilpatrick's
favorite war horse. After the war the
general was sent to South America.
He left the old no Sc at the farm, with
orders that he should be kindly cared
for. Returning after an absence of
several years, the general reached
home near night, and was for some
time occupied in exchanging greetings
with his family and friends. He did
not, however, long neglect to inquire
after the old horse. Learning that
Spot was at pasture in a distant
field, the general sent for him, and a
little later vas told that his favorite
stood tied to a post at the entrance
OF the grounds some distance away.
The general hastened out onto the
piazza, whence, peering through the
evening, he saw the form of the old
veteran who stood demurely gnawing
at the post. Just one word. Spot!
rang out over the lawn. Like an echo
came back the answering neigh. With
a snort and a bound the old charger
snapped the halter, cleared the fence
at a leap, and with arched neck and
ears proudly erect, he stood by the
piazza, where with Joyful whinny he
laid his head on his masters breast.
Added the general: 1--WE Rugged and
caressed each other like lovers, and I
am not ashamed to say that no well
come I received that day warmed my
heart more than that of old Spot"

General Miles on the canteer.

General Miles on the Cantecr.
In his annual report, recently made,
General Miles reviews the canteen
question. He points out that the AN
teen developed from the amusement
room, where enlisted men were pro-
vided with books, papers and games.
There they could also purchase re-
freshments other than Intoxicating
liquors. Finally light wines and beer
We're added to the canteen.
Referring to the act Of congress
which prohibited the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the canteen, General
Miles says: ''No injury has resulted
thereby and the law has in the main
been beneficial"
General Miles points out an import
ant fact when he says hat the army is
composed principally of young men
who have notformed the habit of using
liquors, and although the majority Of
the enlistments actually come in large
cities, as recruiting offices are princi-
pally located there, a large percentage
of men come from homes in the country
and small towns and villages in every
! part of the United States"
When the a~nti-canteen bill was be-
wv SchS u oPpCLChUo VI Ol1oV
its passage would prevent enlistments
and increase assertions. General Miles
declares that the prediction has not
been fulfilled. On this point the gen.
eral says:
since the law was approved Febru-
airy ,, 1901, the recruiting stations have
been thronged with men seeking en-
listment for the service, 25,944 men
having been enlisted since that date,
and the percentage of assertions is now
far less than in former years. Deser-
tions most usually occur during the
first six months of enlistment, and a
much larger percentage of enlistments
has been made during the last six
months than heretofore. In many
cases the men that have deserted be-
long to a class whose presence in the
service was not desirable under any
conditions, and whose real character
was not known at the time of enlist
ment.'
1t is further pointed out by General
Miles that the an%ti-canteen rule has
been enforced at West Point and at the
national soldiers hol e for many years.,
and has produced gratifying results.
And he adds. There is no doubt the
result of the present law in it's effect
| epSA s ioC13o WAL alSS w
beneficial"
General Miles supports his assertion
that the a~nti-canteen law has not
caused distortions by statistics show
ing the strength of the army from 1867
to the present time, with the percent
age of assertions and a comparison be-
tween the number of assertions during
the months of April, May and June for
the last three years. These show:
The percentage of assertions in 1867
was 26.7 and in 1871 500, the highestin
recent years. From 1871 the deser-
tions decreased to 7.s per cen in 1875
and then increased to 8 per cent in 1880,
1914 per cent for 1852, a gradual de-
crease following that year until 1897,
when the percentage of assertions vas
80. From 1898 to 1900, inclusive, the
assertions averaged between 4 and S
per cent. During the first six months
of the present year the assertions
amounted to only 10 per cent.
