When lamb is two weeks old II is
ready for feeding something in addi
ton to the ewes milk. Ii is true that
by feeding the eve her milk will be
increased. but the first thing to do is to
feed the ewes, for the sake of the
lambs, which may be fed indirectly
in this way from the first day of their
lives. The lambs are easily taught 20
feed by themselves IL they are proyid-
ed with suitable feeding pens into
which they may go through narrow
openings too small for the ewes. This
is the simplest matter possible. To
catch a lamb and take 1t into the pen
and put little of the feed provided
into its mouth Is all that is needed; the
lambs will do the rest; for where one
goes all will want to go lnstanter.-

DID THE TIGERS KNOW?

Faith in Trainer Departed When They
Saw Him Drunk.
A really remarkable story of animal
perception has been contributed to
Frank Leslie's Monthly by Frank Bos-
took, who may be considered an au-
thority on wild animals in captivity
| once had trainer, Mr.. Bostocll
says, an old Irishman who had served
in British regiment in India and who
knew the ways of tigers in every de-
tail. He taught three of them to do
more work in the arena than | have
ever seen done by any other tigers. |
have seen him sitting down between
two of them at rest times during re-
hearsals and examining their claws to
see If any of them were sore or split.
Any one who has ever tried that with
even house cat knows that it strikes
the feline nature as an understandable
familiarity; but they never did more
than show their teeth and whine, and
that half in playfulness.
One day the old fellow got very
drunk, the first time in his life. to my
knowledge. Before he was noticed on
his return to the cage he had gone in
with his tigers and fallen in a heap on
the floor
The other keepers made several at
tempts to take him out of the cage,
but it was at once apparent that to dc
so meant bitter and bloody fight
with the tigers. They guarded him all
night in his drunken slumber. But the
next time he put them to work they
baked and he could neither persuade
nor drive them.
They had ceased to trust him, or
something Of that sort. and his useful
ness with them was at an end forever.
That was indeed Judgment 8

THE LUNCHEON EXPANDED.
The Results We're Disastrous to the
Maraudiu2 Bear.

The Results We're Disastrous to the
Maraudiu2 Bear.
The men from Butte. Montana, who
ducks and geese were tired when they
got there, says the Standard. They
pitched their tents, piled their proyis-
ions. not even stopping TO put them
under cove, and went TO bed. One of
the sportsmen. Davis. slept alone in
the tent nearest the provisions.
few hours later Davis was awak-
ened by IA rasping and grating sound at
his feet lie raised his head from the
blankets and looked out through the
against the lowhanging moon he saw
a huge black bear busily engaged in
sampllng the provisions.
The weapons We're in the other tents.
There was nothing to do but wait for
the bear TO leave. Nor was Davis at
all anxious to attract the bears atten-
ton On the contrary he lay very
still and held his breath until the beast,
with satisfied grunt, ambled off in
the direction of the lake.
Bright and early the next morning,
just before dawn, in fact, Mr.. Davis
took his gun and started on the trail Of
the bear As he neared the lake he
saw something just ahead of nina
dark object. which in the dim light
seemed to move. Cautiously and with
some nepidation the hunter sank to
his knees to get a better sight on the
strange object. \ moan of anguish
was waited to the ears of the man
with the gun, and there followed a
moment of painful suspense.
Then ray of light revealed an ami
NAL lying upon its back, its feet in the
air wiggling like the feelers of bug
that has been upset.
Ii was bear, big black bear. ap-
parently in distress. 1t writhed in
evident agony when it caught sight of
Its pursuer, and its struggles were pitt
full to behold. Not caring to take any
chances, Mr. Davis despatched the
creature with a bullet. The report
awakened the other men in camp, and
before the smoke had cleared away a
dozen companions were on the scene.
Developments followed. 1t was
found upon inspection of the proyis-
ions that had been attacked in the
night that the bear had eaten a ten
pound package of dried apples. 1t
was further discovered that the bear
had drunk water. How much he drank
will never be known, but it was enough
to agitate the dried apples.

Troubles Ahead for Her.

When the daughter of the house re-

duties awaiting her. 1t is then. says
the Chicago Journal, that the wise
mother brings her to a different point

The girl had been very clever in her
studies, and had been ut home only a
few days when she said to her mother:

Mr.. MoodY's Picture

AT the time of the great fire In Chi
cago, Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist,
was living in that city, and had just
returned to his house for nights rest,
when the call came for him and his
neighbors to hurry away. The fire had
crossed the river and was rapidly ad,
vapcing
1t was too late to think of removing
any heavy articles but one thing Mrs
Moody determined to save-a portrait
of her husband. presented to him by
the artist, Healy, This she priced
above everything else the house con-
tanned. A stranger who had entered
the room helped her to take it down
from the wall. Then the wife called
her husband and begged him to save It
for her
Notwithstanding the horror of the
situation and the increasing terrors of
the night. the ludicrous side of the
matter at once appealed to Mr.. Moody.
"Take my own picturer' said he
"Well, that would be a great Joke
Suppose somebody meets me In the
street and says, 'Hullo. Moody. glad
you've escaped. What's that you've

Millions of Eggs.

New York City, according to the sta

of the day, which means 100000,000

dependent for its supply OF eggs on

A FARMERS GRAIN TRUST.
How Kansas Producers Met and De-
feated Monopoly.

How Kansas Producers Met and De-
feated Monopoly.
The farmers who marketed grain at
Solomon, Kan, organized a co-opera-
tive shipping association, with cap
ital stock of $500, divided into shares
of $3.50 each. No member could own
more than sixteen shares and the ma
jority held only one share each. No
stock holder was allowed more than one
vote in meetings of the association, no
matter how many shares he held. This
was to prevent any individual or cor
pora ton from securing controlling in
terest in the stock of the association
and running it contrary to its original
purposes.
An experienced grain buyer was en-
ployed on a salary as manager of the
business, an elevator was leased and
on June Is, at the beginning of the har-
vest of 1901, the elevator was opened
for business.
Under the bylaws of the association
every member is required TO sell his
wheat to the farmers association, but
a provision is inserted whereby he may
dispose of 1t outside of the association
by paying into the association treasury
a rebate of cent a bushel on all SO
sold. This provision is regarded as the
bulwark of the association and pre-
vents the syndicate from forcing it out
of business.
Within two months after the associa
ton had opened its elevator It had ham
died over 100000 bushels of wheat,
paying its members from Z to o cents
below the Kansas City price, although
the normal price was 10 cents below.
while the syndicate price was 10 cents
below-a clear gain to the farmers of
from = to I cents Il bushel. AS n result
the syndicate received very little grain
and kept its elevators running at a loss.
Soon after the farmers elevator open
ed one of the syndicates ordered the
price advanced TO point that would
make the farmers dissatisfied with
what they were receiving at their own
elevator and tempt them to bring their
grain TO the syndicate thus keeping the
farmers elevator from getting any
grain. which. under ordinary circum-
stances, would force 1t out of business.
The syndicates had been paying IS
cents bushel. but this one syndicate
advanced the price TO 81 cents, while
the farmers elevator was paying -
cents
Instead of attempting to meet this
advance the manager of the farmers
eleva tor simply weighed the wheat for
the farmers as fast as they brought 1t
in and then sent it to the syndicate ele-
yator to be sold for 80 cents bushel.
The farmer then returned to his own
elevator and paid in l cent bushel of
what he had received, thereby netting
"a cents, considerably more than he
would have received had it not been
for the competition caused by the farm
ers' elevator.

the percentage Of eggs hatched on the

than from those hatched anywhere,

Winter Treatment of San Jose Scale.
Winter spraying to destroy the San

there are no buds to lnjure. There are
several remedies for the scale, but
crude petroleum Is the best for use In
winter, and It may be used only slightly
