TRAVELLING SHEEP PEN.
Designed to Run, by Means of Elec>
tricity, in Amy Pasture, Even
Though 1t He Hilly.

OF recent years nearly every town
is provided with an electric generat-
ing plant, and frequently the wires
are strung along the country roads
from town to town. This one fact
alone has led man named McNair
to attempt the use of electricity on
the farm. He has devised curious
pen some Is feet square, built of wire
and mounted on broad, fat wheels.
This pen is designed to run in any
pasture, even though it be billy. Wires
connect with small motor stationed
at one side of the pasture; this in
turn being connected with the cleo
trio wires from which power is de-
rived. A turn of the button and the
pen slowly creeps across the field.
A machine of this type is being ex;
perimented with at the agricultural
experiment station at Lansing, Mich.
Two lambs, and part of the time an
old eve, have been pastured in the
pen during the summer. The field is
planted with lucerne growing thick
and heavy. The pen is so arranged
that it crawls the full length of the
pasture in one month, travelling about
two feet an hour; at the end of this
time it is switched around and trav-
els back again. AS it moves the sheep
eat every bit of the pasture, eagerly
cropping next the forward side of the
pen as it runs over new ground. A
bit of canvas duck is hung over the
corner of the pen, so that the sheep
may be well sheltered; and, curious
as it may seem, they have become SO
accustomed to the moving of the pen
that when they lie down to sleep they
smuggle up close to the forward end
of the pen, so that they may lie as
long as possible without being dis
turbed by the rear end of the pen
as it creeps toward them. When the
pen has passed, the lucerne that has
been cropped Immediately grows up,
and by the time the pen makes it's
monthly circuit the pasture is again
in good condition. Its advantages are
that the sheep are kept from run.

down a large amount of pasture, and

CHUTE FOR LOADING HOGS.

frame of 2x4 inches, with posts of 4x4-
inch stuff. To add to the solidity of the
affair, the 2x4 and AKA should be bo.ted
together. The floor can be made of
plank or rough lumber of any kind.
It is necessary to nail cleats upon the
floor to prevent the hogs from slip
ping. One end of the chute rests on
the ground, while the other is on a
level with the wagon bed floor. This
chute should be made of as light ma
terial as stability will allow, for it
is often convenient to change it's loca-
ton. The rest of the arrangement is
two sections of slat fencing, to be
used as wings. One end of each Sec
ton is fastened to a side of the chute
and unrolled. When set up the two
wings will make large V, of which
the point is the chute. The hogs can
be- easily driven inside the V; then
the two ends of the Stating can be
brought together. The hogs will thus
be confined in a small pen to be load

La Grippe is epidemic catarrh.-It spares
no class or nationality. The cultured and
the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pau
per. The masses and the classes are alike
subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all
are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the
grip got you? Grip is we'll named. The
original French term, la grippe, has been
shortened by the busy American to read
grip" Without intending to do so new
word has been coined that exactly describes
the case. As if some hideous giant with
awful Grip had clutched us in it's fatal clasp
Men, women, children, whole towns and

terrible monster.

CHAPTER XVI,-CONTINUED.

Instinctively Dean put forth his
hand under the dripping poncho and
tugged at the straps of his off saddle
bag. No need for dread on that score
The bulky package, wrapped, sealed
and corded, was bullying out of the
side of his field pouch TIL it looked as
though he had crammed cavalry
boot into its nav.
'Thirty men-mounted?- no wag-
ons or anything?" he anxiously
asked.
Full thirty, sir, and every man
armed with rifle as far as I could
see,'' said Carey, land if it was us
they was after, they'd have had us at
their mercy down in that pocket at

A shout from one of the men at

ers. The storm had spent its

The thunder was rumbling far over
toward the now invisible crest of the
Black Hills of Wyoming. The rain
sheets had given place to trickling

BUYING PURE BREEDS.
spect Command Prices That Seem
ExtOrtiOnate.

If you desire birds that will enable
you to compete at fairs, do not ex-
pect to buy them at a small price
If you wish to breed frst-class exhi-
bition stock next season, do not be
afraid of the expense. 1t costs time,
money and skill to breed up flocks
to a high average, and the prices
usually asked are always extortion-
ate. If you are not particular about
exhibiting, and desire some strong,
vigorous birds that have no faults ex-
cept twist of the comb or some
slight defect, for crossing on common
stock, let the breeder know it when
you write and he will try to accom-
modate you. Remember, no breeder
generally has two birds at the same
price. They are sold according to
quality. Therefore, be particular to
describe your wants, and do not ex-
pect the breeder to know your de-
sires. A fair hatch from 10 eggs is
seven-or one over half-though some
are satisfied with five. No breeder
can guarantee every egg to hatch.
He knows no more about them than
the buyer, but he should endeavor to
send eggs from vigorous stock A
customer would be fortunate if he
got a pair of first-class standard
birds from a sitting of eggs. Some
breeders do not get such pair from
a dozen sittings. The customer is
responsible for the hen that sits on
the eggs, and her management while
on the nest. Some customers do not
know good birds when they see them,
and often complain ignorantly. The
breeder must depend on any state
ment sent him, without being able
to verify or deny it. Before COM
planning ask yourself at what price
you will sell the chicks should you
receive an order for them, and make
a comparison between their value
and their cost.-Farm and Fireside.

Poultry Manure IL Valuable,

The droppings of poultry are better
for some purposes than any other kind,
as poultry manure is the only kind
that is free of the seeds of weeds. If
the manure is carefully saved it Will be
found excellent for the garden. It is
better to broadcast over the surface of
the ground after the land is plowed; or
spaded, raking it into the soil. To ap-
ply it in the rows or on the hills is to
incur risk Of damage to tender plants.
It may be mixed with dry dirt, land
plaster OF kainit, and if there are
Jumps in the manure they should be
broken BY beating with the back Of a
spade. .

Litter for Scratching She'd.

Hitter for scratching sheds may be
made of cheap hay or straw. Some
use dry leaves, but they are somewhat
difficult to handle and break up easily.
Some farmers accomplish the same
end by feeding their hens sheaf grain,
and doubtless this is as good to do, es-
peciany in the case of sheaf oats. But
where the thr ASKING has been done the
practice Of scattering the grain in lit
ter is good one and indu exercise.

Fraud in n Show Ring.

FTauO In h SnO" ring.
A remarkable case has recently been
tried at Birmingham, England. A
farmer there showed young bull for
which he Was awarded first prize.
The bull was afterwards sold at very
high price. The second prize winner
protested the age of the bull, and on
investiga ton it was found that the
animal was nearly three months more
than the age given, and should have
gone in an older class. Fraud in re-
cording the age was pretty plainly
brought home to the exhibitor and the
presiding judge fined him 5000. The
English press regards this as WELL
merited, though severe, punishment
and expects it will prove warning to
INSCRIPTIONS competitors at stock
shows. The judge ordered the culprit
to be kept in prison till the fine is paid.
How Breeds Were Developed.
By comparing the up-to-date bred
hog with the wild razorback of the

er of improved hogs feels proud of his
success? These men, the improvers of
hogs. have been very careful in the Sc
lection of their breeding stock. In Sc
Letting their brood sows they picked
those that had the qualifications for
thriftiness, short wide nose, which de-
notes strength, wide between the eyes
and ears, which denotes intelligence.
wide between the forearms, full neck
a well-flled heart-girth, and a we'll
sprung rib, which denotes good lung
power and active heart and robust
constitution. Then comes the straight

Nasal Cntarrl in Sheen.

A reader in Pennsylvania has OK
fords that are troubled SO badly with
running at the nose that it annoys him.
None of the English breeds can endure
our sudden changes of weather. Nasal
catarrh is one of the ways in which they
suffer it. There is no prevention ex-
cept by protecting them from our eli
matte changes through housing, and
there is no cure without the same pro-
tective measure. Limitations of the
fumes of tar will relieve it. Most shep-
herds who keep the English breeds ig-
more it. It is an affection that does not
kill rapidly. Ewes so affected may be
bred three or four years and then fat
tened.-H. P. Miller, in Ohio Farmer.
