The regular meeting of the Parents
club was held in the high school room
last Friday afternoon. The meeting
was one of the most interesting held
this year. Miss Jackson rendered a
piano solo, Miss Smith read very
interesting paper on "Nature Study"
and Mrs. Auld gave an interesting
talk upon "The benefits to be derived
from field lessons" The next meeting
will be held the second Friday in JAN
uary.
The regular meeting of the Literary
society will be held Friday, Dec. II.
The question, "Resolved, that the coal
strikers have made only reasonable
and just demands of the operators,
will be discussed. Affirmative, Nellie
Clark, Lizzie Shook. Olive Marcy.
Negative: Fred Peterson, Fern Clark,
Maggie Shook.
The high school is making a study
of Bryant. Several of his best poems
will be read and quotations from each
olS HlCLlOl iLCu. HIS WOTk is UclllS
pursued outside the regular English
class work, and throughout the year
the most important American poets
will be studied in this manner.
The children of the second and third
grades are happy over the beginning
of Christmas presents. Mother and
father will both be remembered, and
the home thus connected more closely
with the school. The history work of
the second grade is also based upon
the Christmas season. They are
studying the first Christmas and the
customs Of people in other lands at
this time. The literature consists Of
stories and legends Of the Christmas
time.
Several children have been absent
from the fourth and fifth grades during
the week on account of sickness.
The fourth and fifth grades are pre-
pairing a Christmas program for the
last day of school.

MAKING CHEAP MUTTON.
"n' III Does Not Pay to Feed a Fat
Lamp for an Uncertain Chance
OF Rise in Price.

"A subscriber asks in a somewhat dis
eouraged tone, how to produce NUT
.OH at present prices with any profit.
"a large part of the secret lies IN the
nign feeding of young, growing an
tIlss. The younger the animal the
larger the amount of gain it will make
tof the food consumed. Mutton and
DeeI producers seem not to have
learned this so generally as pork pro-
uucefs. But it is true in a greater de-
gree OF mutton than of pork. The lamb
may be brought to mature weight
more quickly than any other animal
" zoo late now to figure on very
iarge profits from feeding last springs
lambs. The only class of lambs tbat
IL Will pay to feed through the entire
winter is Merinos that will yield eight
pounds OF washed or ten pounds of
uh"ashed wool. They develop slower
1nah the mutton breeds and the growth
OF wool will almost pay for the feed
needed to keep them growing nicely
and they may be rapidly finished upon
the IreSh pasture of Nav,
But 1t will take more than half the
iced to grow pure-bred mutton lamb
TO 10 pounds at five months old than
1t will to make him weight 80 at ten
months. Lambs with strongly marked
mutton characteristics should be mar
keted before they are six months old.
Ihere is sometimes profit in buying
this class of lambs at seven or eight
months of age cent less per pound
than they will bring when finished for
market, and then pushing them to the
hnsh as rapidly as possible. This
should be done in 80 or 100 DAYS. A
lamb that has once got poor will not
make nancy for either grower or
feeder.
Another element figuring largely in
determining the messure of profits is
selling when the lambs are finished.
1t does not pay to feed fat lamb for
an uncertain chance of rise in price.
The altogether best rule is to get your
lambs ready for the market in the
shortest possible time and let them go.
If I had a flock of lambs now that
were not fat 1 should hold them over
on light grein feeding and finish on
grass. Corn alone is the grain for fat
tening, with clover hay for roughage;
with other hay or fodder, add oil meal
or cotton seed meal.-H. P. Miller, in

HANDY COLT HALTER.

the other from the top downward, then
up over the ears, loosening the rope
in hand as you go. An excellent halter,
capable of holding anything, is thus
formed, as the right-hand figure shows.
If, after being driven around for some
time, he proves stubborn and will not
follow, take a piece of clothesline,
double it, tie a knot on the double
end, leaving enough rope to slip down
over his hind quarters almost to the
hooks (the knot remaining over his
coupling), run the two free ends-one
on each side of his neck-through the
halter, and on feeling the pull behind
he will move. Never strike him, and
as soon as he yields little, pet him.
If the dams are worked, the best way
is to slip on halter when the colt is
only few days old, and tie alongside
the mother; but if still unbroken, when
there is lots of snow on the ground is
a good time to work with the dams,
as the colt is not liable to hurt when it
throws ITSELF. C. Smith, in Farm
and Home.

Have Learned a Lesson.

Those who stick to the old method
of setting hens, and there are many
thousands who do, have learned val
liable lessons from the incubator,
SAYS an exchange. First: They have
learned to choose eggs of uniform
size and of perfect shape, with sound
shells. AS incubator chickens do not
have lice, they have learned, second
ly, to dust thoroughly their hens be-
fore setting, and two or three times
during the period of incubation.
Thirdly: They have learned to use
clean nest boxes and clean bedding.
They confine the hens to coops and
take great pains to place proper food
and water before them. Fourthly:
Many test the eggs under hens, fol-
lowing the example of the machine
men, and after testing three sittings,
for example, and throwing out the
infertile eggs, place the live eggs I'M
der the two hens and reset the third,
thus gaining time and compelling
s'Riddv" to do her full share of the
work.

RESEEDING PASTURES.
hsVice "a FaeUeP Who Wants ts
Restore WOrn-Out Grass Land
in One Season,

Sometimes an old, run-out pasture
can be greatly improved by narrowing
thoroughly two or three times in early
spring; then sow a mixture of seeds.
The following might be used, although
IL is not customary to sow as much
per acre under these conditions as
when a well-prepared permanent pas
ture is laid out: Red cAoVer, six pounds;
alsike clover, four pounds; Kentucky
blue grass, 31a pounds; orchard grass,
3h pounds; meadow fescue, 3A
pounds; red top, 31s pounds; timothy,
hve pounds. You might simply sow
on blue grass, timothy and alsike
clover in moderate quantities. After
the seeds are sown, roll. 1t would in
crease the chances of success if some
fertilizer containing a rather high per-
centage of nitrogen was applied. Some
times one can find dana ged cottonseed
meal, which makes splendid fertil-
lzer for pastures, as do also wood
ashes, though the latter are seldom
sold on guaranteed ANALYSIS, and may
contain much or a very little potash.

they wer guaranteed. However, we ad-
wise dividing the pasture and contin-
uing the use of the greater part cf it
while thoroughly preparing and seed
ing few acres each year. Plow the
ground this spring; sow peas and oats.
Plow them under about the middle of
September, fit the ground well, sow
the seeds indicated above, roll and pas
ture light the first year. 1t may be
said, too, that if the effort is made
to improve the pasture without re-
blowing, it will not succeed unless the
field is pastured light the coming sum-
mer. If it is trampled over and
gnawed by too many cattle, many of
the young plants will perish. 1t is pre-
supposed that dairy herd is connect
ed with this pasture. If so, one of
the things to do is to sell ten or 20
per cent. of the poorer cows. There are
few dairy herds from which the net
profits would not be increased by even
giving away this 20 per cent. of in
ferior and usually Improbable ami
mals.-Country Gentleman.

EPILEPSY IN HOGS.
This Disease, Commonly known an
Blind Staggers, Readily Yields
to Careful Treatment.

Blind staggers, or, in medical par
lance, epilepsy, in pigs, is quite com
mon. 1t may be the effect of various
causes. In whatever way brought on,
the condition indicates imperfect nu-
triton of the brain and nervous sys-
TEN. This may be brought about by un-
duly stimulating food, as constant
feeding upon cornmeal, and contine-
ment. A wet, uncomfortable bed often
leads to the disease in young pigs. A
course of two close breeding develops
this disease. The symptoms of an at
tack of epilepsy are sometimes diff
ferent in different animals. Some
times the pig stands and froths at the
mouth, then, after a few moments,
staggers and falls as if in fit. After
lying awhile, it RECEIVERS and seems
in its normal condition again, perhaps
for several days, when symptoms will
occur again, often proving fatal. Some
times the pig forces his nose into a
corner of the pen and stands trem-
bling for few moments, and suddenly
darts around the pen a few times and
falls motionless upon the floor. When
symptoms of staggers are developed
in small pigs they should be given a
good dry bed and ten or 12 drops of
chloride of iron twice day for few
days in their food. AS a preventive
when pigs show symptoms of disease,
withhold the food mainly and feed sui
phur and powdered charcoal for few
days. Supplying dry, comfortable
quarters and feeding the young pigs
with good supply of milk and occa-
sionally a mess of boiled flaxseed will
be particularly good, as containing
large proportion of oleaginous matter.
A few cabbages, grass and oatmeal are
helpful as a varied diet. As in many
other things a due regard to their con-
dition that seems to prevent the dis
ease is better than to be obliged to
resort to the various remedies, and
then, perhaps, fail to restore the an
imal to health.-Eastern Exchange.
Results obtained at the Wisconsin,
experiment station show that there is
practically no difference in thequanti-
ty of pork produced from the same
weight of wheat or corn. In four trials
an average of 499 pounds of ground
wheat were required to produce 100
pounds of gain in live weight. In two
trials with corn meal 49S pounds were
required toproduce 100 pounds OF gain.
When a mixture of equal parts of
wheat and corn was fed, better results
were obtained than when either wheat
or corn was fed alone. 1t required ass
pounds of mixed wheat and corn, half
and half, by weight, to produce 100
pounds of gain in live weight.

How to Make an Excellent Self

Fattening Lambs.

Make an X of two 2x4-inch pieces, five
feet long, so that they cross each
other two feet from lower ends and
have the top ends four feet apart, out
side to outside. Across the lower end
of this frame bolt 2x4 piece 21s feet
long so the top edge will be nine inches
from the bottom of frame. This is to-
support the floor of feeder. Also in
angles of sides of frame nail two
pieces cut the proper shape to fit, so
The Jamesburg record., 1902-05-10

they will be one foot apart from out
side to outside. This makes the throat
of feeder that wide. Make two of
these frames, one for each end. The
middle should be supported by bench.
Use eight-inch boards for sides of
trough. In boarding up the sides place
the lower edge of bottom board eight
inches from floor of trough, which
gives room for corn to feed out. in

the easier will the load be carried.
Rafters two by six-inch will be strong
enough to carry an ordinary barn roof
and the load of hay, since the track
is attached to every pair of rafters,

This distributes the load. If the barn
is small and the roof steep, two by
