NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed regularly as we'll as literally.
Give pulverized alum for scours,
with wheat bran.
Have water convenient for your
sheep. They drink little and often.
Keep the lambs growing from the
start. If fat, sell them when they
weigh 80 to so pounds.
Ewes that prove poor mothers, or
refuse their own lambs, might as
we'll go to the butcher.
Do not feed lambs on rape alone.
but accustom them to it gradually
when fed with other fodder.
An authority on lambs for market
says pure-bred or high-grade lambs
should not be kept beyond six
months.
In feeding shredded corn fodder
to sheep, bran and oats may be
mixed with the stover to avoid any
trouble that may come from over
feeding of carbonaceous elements.
If sheep have catarrh, put them in
a well-ventilated pen and give each,
twice day in their food, teaspoon
full of mixture of equal parts dried
sulphate of iron, powdered ginger
and gentian roots. Feed generously
of oats, bran, roots and good hay

Canadian. Enter . Protest.

Horse breeders of Canada are
alarmed at the large expectations Of
bronchos from the United States into
that country. The Clydesdale directors
met lately and discussed the question
how to prevent the great injury that
will be done to the breed of Canada'a
horses, if this condition of affairs is
permitted to continue. Horse breed
ers complain that the duty on horses
imported into Canada from the United
States is only two dollars, while any
exporter of horses into the United
States must pay $50 on each animal
The broncho growers of the west have
taken advantage of the low tariff. and
have been selling great numbers Of
horses in Canada, and already the re-
suit is seen in the deterioration and
smai,ness of many Of the horses On
Canadian farms.

An Old Ensli.h Fair.

The coronation promises many re.
vivals. and among them is that of the
old English fair, which seemed to
have died of it's own disgrace. Ar
rangements are being made for big
fair at Kensal Green during the cor
onation week. On the 4S acres of
ground which have been secured by
the committee there will be huge
number of van jewellers, the major
ity of whom will help entertain the
thousands of spectators who, it is
hoped, will be attracted. Among the
interesting sights will be the roast
ing of whole oxen every afternoon.
The fair will be on much larger
scale than that held at the time of
Queen Victoria's coronation, and
should be crucial test of the i'm
proved manners of new century,

PIG FEEDING TESTS.
Character ana Causes Of Soft Pofk
Discussed by Prof. Frank =.
Shut, Of Canada.

The Canadian experimental farm
authorities have issued q report BY
Prof. Frank I. Shut, chemist at the
farm, upon the character and causes
Of soft pork. Softness in pork is
serious defect, and SO the question
is Of great Importance to the Cam
adian bacon industry. Prof. Shut
summarizes the results of his ex.
periments as follows:
1. That of all the grain rations
employed that consisting of equal
parts of oats, peas and barley gave
the firmest pork. It may further be
added that the fat was deposited
evenly and not too thickly, and that
this ration gave very thrifty
growth.
2. That no difference could be OBJ
served in the firmness of the pork
from the preceding ration, whether
fed soaked or dry.
3. That when half the grain ration
consists of corn meal the resulting
pork shows an increased percentage
of olein-in other words, tentoncy
to softness.
4. That in this ration (half corn
meal, half oats, peas and barley in
equal parts) the feeding of it boiled
gave a slightly higher olein content.
but this is only apparent when the
average from the four pens is taken
into consideration.
5. That, considering the effect of
feeding the ration of oats, peas and
barley during the first period to .
live weight of hundred pounds and
corn meal during the finishing
period, compared with the reverse OK
this plan--that is, corn first, fol-
lowed with oats, peas and barley
we may conclude that the former
gives firmer pork.
6. That in both methods mentioned
in the preceding paragraph no
marked difference was to be observed
from the ration fed dry or previously
soaked, though taking an average
of the two groups on each ration the
''dry" feed gave somewhat higher
olein content.
z. As when corn meal formed half
the first period ration and the whole
of the second period ration, tie re-
sulting pork was somewhat softer
than from that of any of the rations
already discussed. We conclude that
the longer the period during which
the corn is fed as q large proportion
of the ration the softer will DO the
pork.
8. That beans produce soft and
inferior pork. The growth of tho
pigs so fed was poor and miserable
and the deposition of the fat meager.
Q. That corn meal fed exclusively
as the grain ration, either dry or
previously soaked, results In an ex-
tremely soft fat, the percentage OF
olein being considerably higher than
from any other ration tested. The
pork was of an inferior quality.
Here also we noted the miserable
growth of the animals, the ration in
no sense being an economical one.

ercised to give good ventilation so
that the animals will not become
overheated and catch cold in the
open air at meal time. A good roof
that will turn show and rain is es-
sential. With cracks battened and
tight doors and windows, the tenn
perature can be controlled by watch
ing the ventilators, which can be the
windows, or shutters placed in the
gable ends for that purpose. The
number of hogs the house will ac-
commodate will be limited by its
length.
This house is designed for sleep
ing quarters mostly, although it may
be used by sows at narrowing time.
A layer of straw scattered over the
floor will make sufficient bedding
This should be changed as often as
it becomes dusty. If the hogs are
given proper attention, there will
never be other cause for cleaning out
the pens. Catching an individual hog
is an easy matter. Watch when he
goes into the house, follow him into
a side pen, drop the gate and he is
yours. Loading for market, too, is
an easy job. Let chute be arranged
at the end of the alley, if the ele-
walton is not sufficient to make the
floor on level with the wagon bed;
get the hogs into the pens, close one
alley door and back up the wagon
at the other, lift the gate, drive the
hogs into the alley, then into the
wagOn.-J. L. Irwin.

Selection of Breeding Stock.

In buying breeding stock the breed
Or should select animals that are
strong where his are weak. Too many
settle the purchasing question by a
certain financial standard rather than
that of fist finding the individual suit
ed to their needs and then talking cost
afterward. Too many men desire to
buy stock at hardly above butchers
prices, and expressed 20 willingness to
nav a premium to the man who is Of
fering them animals that have been
produced at great cost and effort. No
stock should be purchased unless per-
sonally inspected; reliance on the judg-
ment Of others is unsafe.-Prof. c. S.

Good Remedie. for wrinkles.

One of the best preventives for wrin-
kles is to learn facial repose. Keep
the body so well nourished that the
face will share in the general we'll
being, giving evidence to this by it's
plumpness and lack of angularity.
Then it is important to keep the
teeth in good condition so that there
will be no sagging in of the cheeks
where teeth are missing. Massage
for the face is like exercise for the
rest of the body, and if used for the
purpose of toning up the muscles
it is beneficial. The general direction
of the strokes on the face should be
upward and outward, in order to lift
up and strengthen the falling mus
cles.-Ladies' Home Journal

ScallODed TurniDs.

Peel the turnips and cook them
whole until nearly tender; cut them
in thin slices, put a layer in an earth
en- baking dish, sprinkle with fine
bread crumbs, seasoning, and bits of
butter; then another layer of turnips,
and continue thus until the dish is
nearly full, having the last layer of
bread crumbs. Pour over sufficient
white sauce to moisten and cover
nicely, and bake in a hot oven until
nicely Drowned. Then pin clean
white napkin round the dish, set it on
plate, and serve at once. To make
the white sauce, allow one table
spoonful each of butter and -four 90
one pint of milk or cream, and cook
until smooth and thick. = Ladies'

FRESH FRILLs OF FASHION.
Pretty Novelties That Are in Esl.
dcncc IN Some Of the Seasons
CostuMes.

One of the, conspicuous features of
the new gowns is the belt which is as
varied as the figures on which it 10
worn. It is made of silk striped around
with black velvet ribbon, the two COM
bined forming tab ends at the back.
or of plain silk or soft ribbon without
the velvet, draped trifle wider at
the back and sometimes forming a
rounded point, says the New Y ork Sun.
All belts point down in front what
ever their width. With the thin gowns,
soft belts of ribbon are worn knotted
at the back with two ends not much
more than quarter, of yard long.
Two shades of one color make q
pretty belt, and for general wear with
different waists there are black satin
ribbon belts finished with Narrow
clasp in front and wider slide to
match at the back, giving pointed ef-
feet. These can be bought in the shops
with oxidized and silver gilt clasps.
Then there is the usual display Of
leather belts in white, black and col
ors.
"A novelty IN the pettlcoat line is
made of linen, in different colors and
of the same quality of which the gowns
are. built. A wide circular founce,
with heavy linen lace in points inset
around the edge and medallions of en-
broidery scattered at intervals all over
it, is the finish, set on with narrow
insertion of embroidery.
This skirt costs nearly $40, and is the
chic thing to wear with the linen cos
tune. Another novelty in petticoats
is called the Dolly Warden, and is made
of lowered and different patterned
silks, trimmed deliberately with
squares and insertions of lace.
A novel finish for a white lawn gown
patterned with pink or blue polka dots
is a hem of ecru linen batiste set on
the ruffles with lace or embroidered
beading.
Very elaborate are the fancy but
tons used on coats and bodices. You
see them in filigree enamel, in Nor
wegian silver, inlaid, and in jeweled de-
signs of imitation gems in different
colors.

HER DINNER SURPRISE.
An English Housevvife's Idea of serv.
ing Watermelon After the
American style.

Mrs. Thomas Field, while on her
bridal trip from England to this coun-
try, where she intended making her
home, became acquainted with Mrs.
Bradish, the captains wife, who was
also an Englishwoman, but had lived
in America long enough to know that
there were some difficulties in the
way of housekeeping for stranger,
and very kindly offered to enlighten
her fellow-cOuntrywom on the SUBJ
ject. Indeed, she went so far as to
give her course of lessons in her
own home in regard to foods that
were new to the young wife, says the
New York Times.
After a time, considering herself a
full-fedged housekeeper "a la Ameri-
caine," Mrs. Field chose time when
Capt. Bradish was in port to invite
him and his wife to dinner-to see
for themselves how we'll she had
learned her lessons. Everything
passed off beautifully, was praised ac-
cordingly, and the time had come for
dessert to appear.
"And now" said Mrs. Field, as she
herself brought in the dessert, II
have what know you like. I heard
you say So"
"What is it, my dear?" asked Mrs.
Bradish, looking with curiosity at the
contents of the dish.
"Watermelon, to be sure" replied
the hostess.
"Watermelon!" exclaimed Mrs. Bra
dish, "but where is it-what have you
done with it?"
"Here it is (placfng 1t on the table
with evident pride); you showed me
just how to do the muskmelons, you
know, and have done this in exactly
the same way; wanted to give you a
little surprise" ....
She certainly had succeeded. She
had carefully scooped out all the mid
die and thrown it away, bringing in
the green rinds of the watermelon.
There was enough surprise to 60 all
around

Embroidered Collarettes.

Embroidered linen collarettes are
to be much used this spring and sum-
mer, last year having sufficiently
proved their worth in this capacity.
Nothing is more dainty, prettier or
more easy to keep quite fresh and
uncrumpled, for trip to the laun-
dry only enhances the beauty of
fancy stitching as well as that of fine
linen. They are embroidered on pure
Irish linen in fast colors. One of the
most attractive combina tons is an
embroidery of Chinese blue outlined
with black on a white linencollarette,
the design remarkably good, show
ing an irregular edge, ring dots and
graceful arabesques. Another idea
is the use of solid white embroidery,
outlined with black on blue linen.
Very dainty is new shade of
pinN worked with white, and dotted
in solid rings of black. The shape
is half circle in front, and over
tapping similar pieces ever lessening

by horse that resulted in his death
on Saturday morning at four O'Clock.
While it will never be known what
caused the horse to kicked a state

On going to him he found him speech
less and unconscious; lition he
remained in until he died. On ex-
animation it was found that his skull
was crushed and there was a slight
oozing out of brain matter. Before
he received the fatal stroke he had
passed through the gate and closed it.
And as he was driving the team com
lecture is that as he stopped to take
up the lines one of the horses mistook
his motion and kicked. Although
