tor in cheap housing; the feed is di.

labor in handling, but the stable is
usually too dark and too damp. :
better barn is the bank barn without

Then are secured the advantages o.;

on much corn need plenty of exer.

What is the best telephoned city in
the world? The question is inter

opments in London. San Francisco
seems to be the answer. In that
glorious city, with a population of

hagen is probably the best tele-
phoned city, with 1871 telephones
to it's 312.s59 of population, equal to
40 per 1000. In Copenhagen, too, the
best conditions for the public exist,
although the rates are relatively as
high as those in American cities.
London compares very unfavorably
with these figures. At the beginning

this must be bought by the private at

THE CARE OF SHEEP.
To Get Good Results From the Com
ing Lamb Crop Sheep Must
be Kept Well.

If we get the meat from next years
lamb crop the sheep must be kept
in good condition during the winter.
III the ewes are kept just alive, the
lambs are like to be TOO weak to
live. and if they do survive they will
he stunted and will not make the
growth that is necessary to make
them profitable. poor eve, If she
gives any milk at all, will not give
sufficient to make the lamb grow
well, besides, poor ewes are usually
infested with ticks, these get on the
lambs and annoy them terribly. 1t is
claimed by some that ticks will not
stay on fat sheep, but / think that
the reason is that the sheep will not
STAY fat if they are infested with
ticks.
Sheep should have some green
pasture in winter if possible. Win
ter oats if sown early in latitude
where they can be grown, make ex-
celent pasture. Corn blades, bean
hulls and cow peas are all relished
by sheep. If there is no green pas
ture the sheep should be fed turnips,
or some other succulant food. This
with a modern grain ration will keep
the sheep i'm good condition if they
are provided with a good shelter. If
the sheep are given little sui
phur in their salt, or with their
feed, it will keep them free of ticks
and lice. Care should be taken that
the sheep are not allowed to fall off
and then be fed to improve them as
this will cause wool shedding. There
is little danger of them losing their
wool IL fel regularly.
With some. there is prejudice
against corn as sheep feed, but ]
see no reason who corn may not be
used as sheep feel if supplement-
ed with some more heterogeneous food.
When the lambs begin to come, the
feed should be increased and lib
-eral quantity of bran or middlings
fed in order to make the ewes give
q liberal supply of milk. A lamb is
hard to freeze to death if it gets
plenty of milk. but a half-starved
lamb easily succumbs to cold.-Cor

The Earth's shadow.

The earth has a shadow, but very
few ever see it, except in eclipses Of
the moon, or else few recognize 1t
when they see it. Nevertheless, many
of us have noticed it on fine, cloudless
evenings in summer shortly before
sunset a rosy or pink arc on the hori-
zon opposite the sun, with a blush
gray segment under it. AS the sun
sinks the arc rises until it attains the
zenith, and even passes it. This is the
shadow of the earth.--Detroit Free
