By special arrangement the Duke
of Argyll cont ibutes to the May
18th issue of The Youths Com:
panion an article on the approach,
ing Coronation. He describes fully
the ancient privileges enjoyea by
certain families in connection with
the Coronation; also the ceremonial
ftseH--the amounting, the present
ing of the seepter and orb, amt the
final browning. 1t is significant OF
the feeling OF warm FRIENDSHIP ex-
sitting between the two great Eng-
lish-sppakingp people that the broth
el-in.law OF England's King should
be a regular contributor to the
most representative family paper
in Ameriea.
- Perhapsit was this though of
how much the two nations have in
eommon-- the same ancestry, the
same speech, the same ideals under
different forms of government
which suggested the closing lines
of the Dukes article:
"For both kings and presidents
the real crown is the love OF the
people; the real amounting is the
love Of God; the real scepter is the
respect of those of their dly; the
real orb of empire is the verdict of
history ON their life and times

A Very Interesting Sheep Report
Pinckney, Va,
May 10, 1902.

AS near as | can CLEAN from yarl-
Gus sources, the number of sheep
that lave died south of the S. y L.
turnpike in Monterey township the
past winter is about 200 head valu-
ed perhaps $3.50 per head. Per-
haps a portion Of this loss can be
attributed to lack Of proper food
and attention, but [ think the
greater portion is due to a par
asitic disease known to the Bureau
Of Animal Industry as "Nodular
Intestines." | nave examined sew
eral that had died and found the
intestines literally covered with
tumors Of various sizes from that
of bird short to Il large bean, and
those tumors are filled with Il
greenish cheesy matter, and in
those tumors dwells the deadly
parasite.
1t is not the poor and run down
fiocks that are heir to this disease.
but it will strike the best kept
focks and do it's deadly work, and
the victim die in fine condition.
As to housing sheep | think it very
essential to certain degree. As
Mr. Dudley has said the close wool
breeds can stand lots Of cold, but
under certain conditions they can
not; for instance it rains all day
and blows up cod at night, which
it frequently does. then the sheep
become chilled and contract cold
which proves very disastrous to
the health of the flock. Large
well ventilated sheds with racks,
filled with nice bright clover hay
and floor well bedded with straw
is much better place for the "gold
hoof" to dwell than in natures
open fields exposed to the cold sleet
and rain.
The condition of the flock i'll be-
ginning Of winter has great deal
to do with its wintering, and the
daily feed ration a great deal more.
A daily ration of clover hay (fed in
racksl, for roughness, and one part
corn, two parts oats and 8 parts
bran for grain ration will bring
your Aocks through the severe win
ters in better condition, without
shelter, than a flock "palace car"
quMtered with nothing but bare
brier field to run in and grub for
the scanty morsel they get to sub
sist on, Respectfully,
H. H. Terry.
