No direct reply was made by the War

down their arms an July was mailed

Ashes and Salt for Hogs.

My hogs get all the wood ashes, coal
ashes, soft coal or hard coal they will
devour, and fattening hogs when con-
fined will eat a good deal. I believe
the ashes or coal supply need, keep
the animals fourishing and tend to
prevent worms and cholera. I for
merly got coal siftings from the coal
yards, but I have substituted soft coal
ashes from the creamery furnace in
addition to wood ashes from the
house. 1t is amusing to see the swine
stand around the ash pits eating
ashes and hunting for the bits of coal,
crunching them with much seeming
delight. AS to salt, my hogs never
seemed to care for it, though I give
them all they want, putting it in
separate place SO as not to compel the
hogs to eat what they do not want in
order to get what they do want

siIage for Ewes and Lambs.

We have never had silo. Having
always a great abundance of alfalfa
or clover hay, we have not needed it
much. says Joseph E. Wing in Breed

III. Ell. Miller and II. P. Miller, both
famous lambgrowers, use silos. III.
p. Miller declares good silage great
aid in keeping up the milk flow of
the ewes. There is no doubt that
the eve needs about the same ration
as the dairy COW while she is suck
ling her lamb. / would suggest that
the silage be made so as to be sweet,
fearing that much acidity n it would
harm the lambs through the milk.

fairly matured before being put into

THE SLEEPS FEET.
If They Are Properly and Systematic
caIly Cared For, Lameness Will
Occur Rarely.

1t seems hard to understand why it
never occurs to many shepherds to
trim the feet of the home Cock. But
more than this, some even enter the
show ring with the two divisions of
the foot curled and the outer one
usually turned up as if it were search
ing for support OH which to climb.
Such a sheep can hardly walk, and
when let loose in the show ring, wad-
dies around as if it's legs were USE
less for the purposes of locomotion.
During the summer, especially if pas
tured on hilly and gravelly ground, the
feet may not need attention, but be-
fore the flock goes into winter quar-
ters, and again at shearing time the
feet want looking after, saws the
Homestead. Usually thorough trim
ming at shearing time is sufficient,
but the fockmaster, by watching,
should know how often, and when
he should attend to the feet of his
own flock. Varieties differ a great
deal; usually the fine wooded sorts
grow horn much more rapidly than
the others. If the foot is not attend
ed to and the breeding flock goes into
winter quarters with the hoof too
long, it soon begins to double over and
lmprison filth and dirt, and the top
growing Unfortunately begins to turn
upwards. After time the sheep goes
lame because of the filth and irrita-
ton, thus furnishing the most suit
able conditions for foot rot to de-
velop.
In pairing the feet the toe should
be cut off at a point where the nat
ural toe seems to stop. The toes are
seldom shortened too much Of course
if cut too closely some bleeding may
result, and while this is not serious,
it is needless pain to the sheep. In
removing the double sides pare these
close to the natural pad of the foot
and clean out all filth or accumula-
tions. If it is filled with matter or
suppurated, clean it out thoroughly
and dress it with a saturated solution
of copper, sulphate or blue stone. If
chalk or some other harmless SUBJ
stance is mixed with this it gives it
body and the application is retained
better. During the winter season,
when the sheep are more confined and
the conditions are very unfavorable
for rapid hoof growth, the feet are
very likely to require attention, if
they have not been cared for pre-
viously.

BEYOND THE SHADOW.

We mortals live within little space Of
light,
And if we seek to look beyond it, all is
night.
And as we walk upon our earthly way,
A shadow hides this year, this very day;
Fen the next moment, what it may not
prove
To US and all around us whom we love
We cannot tell.
A thick veil hides all future times, and
dins our sight;
Withholding from our knowledge things
both sad and bright;
That veil we oft would draw aside, and
rend;
But rather. praise should with our worship
blend,
That God our Father in His love denies,
What would so often fill with tears our
eyes,
If we but knew.
What things the shadow has contained
before we know.
We see the days Of yore, in memory's light
aglow.
Things which well nigh impossible we
deemed,
Others we scarce had hoped for, scarce
had dreamed,
Came to US simply, sudden, unawares;
These things have been, and also petty
cares and Joys.
Another shadow, dark across our path we
feel and see.
That of the river, we must cross at last,
o God, to Thee.
What shall our lot be, there across the
river?
Eternal peace, from the Almighty Giver,
JOY beyond every joy Of worldly birth,
Joy in the promised Heaven and new earth
EternaIly.

SLOP FOR THE PIGS.
ExDerim ents ID demonstrate That There
Is But Small Gain in Mixing
Grain with Water.

The Indiana station has reported
some data on a question which often
arises in pig feeding namely, what
is the advantage of mixing the grain
feed with water and how thick or how
thin should slop be fed? Four lots
OF four pigs each were used in test
which covered about five months. For
about three months all the pigs were
fed meal and shorts. During the re-
malnder of the time hominy feed re-
placed the corn. Lot 1 was given the
ration dry; lot was fed the grain
mixed with an equal weight of water;
while in the case of lot it was mixed
with twice and in the case of lot 4
three times it's weight in water. In adj
dltion to the dry grain or slop the
pigs were supplied with all the drink
ing water they desired, and the
amount consumed was recorded.
The average daily gains of the four
lots were in every case little over
four pounds day. The gain required
per pound of gain by the four lots
were $50, $50, 3.74 and 2.75 pounds re
spectlvely, while the cost of food per
pound of gain ranged from 2.87 cents in
the case of lot to 3.04 cents in the case
of lot 2. In view of the fact that
the pigs fed dry grain made slightly
better gains than those fed grain
mixed with water in the form of Stops,
it would appear that there is really
no gain in feeding the pigs slop in
stead of a dry grain, excepting as
feeder may regard it a matter of con-
Venience

The man who wants to be sure of
having safe driving horse will do all
in his power to prevent that horse
from ever getting beyond control If
the horse gets to run away once he is
liable to be an unsafe animal ever
afterward. It is tribute to the good
disposition and good sense of the
horse that more of them are not
ruined by carelessness, Unsafe har-
ness, neglect to fasten properly, care
less of reckless driving, constant nag
cling until the horse is nervous, or the
infection of pain in biting or refining
are common with young horses being
broken to drive. 1t is a wonder that
there are not more runaways than
now recorded.-National Stockman.

THE pines were tossing their heads

strength; a wild wind had come out
of the northwest for a romp. The
woman watching them with hungry
eyes, unfolded her arms and turned
away reluctantly. 1t was close and
smelly inside, and there were people
there who expected her to be pleas

yearning of a genius she longed to be
alone; to live but a little longer in
this atmosphere of serene strength.

She fingered to let her pulses thrill

of those strong, straight stems, and
then, folding her arms upon stern
serenity of mood, opened the door
and stumbled into the darkened par

It was close after the windy out
side, as she had expected. "Never
mind lights and odors, if you can
only keep your atmosphere" she told
herself, as she realized with thrill
of uneasiness that there was but one
other person in the room.
