NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed regularly as well 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
well 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 a day in their food, a teaspoon
full of a mixture of equal parts dried
sulphate of iron, powdered ginger
and gentian roots. Feed generously
of oats, bran, roots and good hay

A Voting TelegraDh.

There is only one reference to me-
chanical voting in the thirteen reports
onforeign parliaments which have Just
been issued. This occurs in memoran-
DUN on the subject of divisions in the
reichstag and Prussian landtag. As
long ago as 1869 a motion was intro
duced in the Prussian lower house
in favor of establishing a system
called the voting telegraph, an cleo
trio invention designed by the firm Of
Siemens & Halske. Each member
was to have at his place a handle to
turn to right or left as he wished to
vote yes" or mo-" and this handle
could be turned only by the member
to whom the seat belonged. each key
to whom the seat belonged each mem
Der being provided with a special key.
The time for taking the votes of the
lower house would according to this
scheme have occupied less than two
minutes. There were no practical OBJ
jections made to the machine, but it was
rejected, partly because no pressing
need existed for shortening the divi-
sions, and partly on account of the
advantages of the oral process of vot-
ing.-London Chronicle.

Cultivation of Cocoon.

A traveller in South Africa, where the
cocoa tree is largely cultivated, speaks
of the great care with which the young
plants have to be protected from the
sun, which if very strong is fatal to
them. To secure this protection the
and plantain trees, the broad leaves
of which give them the needed shade.
And even when they are fully grown
they need protection, which is given by
trees known as "immortels,' or, as the
planters call them, 1.-The mother of the
cocoa" Thus the whole cocoa planta-
ton has a sort of canopy.

Getting m SuppIy of Humus

On most farms the rush of getting
out the manure for the spring planting
is over, and it's time to begin to save
manure to draw out after harvest. If
there is no manure shed on the place
scrape all the scatterings of the barn
yard and feed lots into a pile, get the
old stack bottoms that are too wet or
rotted for bedding over them and then
pile the manure as made from day to
day on the whole mass. If few hogs
could be let loose on the pile each day
small amount of shelled corn scat
tered over the mass would lead the
swine to work over the whole. and be-
fore the summer was past there would
be a nice lot of humus in good shape for
blowing under when drawn out Be-
sides the stack yards, feed lots and all
the farmyard surroundings would be
heater for the general cleaning up.

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 a chute be arranged
at the end of the alley, if the ele-
walton is not sufficient to make the
floor on a 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

strong where his are weak. Too many
settle the purchasing question by "a
certain financial standard rather than
that of first finding the individual suit

afterward. Too many men desire to
buy stock at hardly above butchers
prices, and expressed no willingness to
