Care of Spring Lambs.

Where spring lambs are to be the
chief crop, it is necessary to make
summer preparations for them. With
the lambs born in the late fall and
midwinter, it should be the aim OF
the grower to provide proper food for
them. Good farming crops raised il
the summer should keep the ewes in
good condition up to the time Of the
breeding season, and when the lambs
arrive they will also have an abund-
ance of food. If one must go to work
and buy all this food the profits in
spring lamb growing will be discount
ed. Glover or alfalfa hay should be
raised in abundance. A good crop of
either will save many a dollar later.
AS the lambs are to be fed cracked
corn generously, it is necessary that
corn crop should be added that of the
hay crop.
The ewes themselves should be fed
freely and generously to make them
do their best. They should have in
the fall and early winter good ration
of clover hay and shelled corn and
bran in the morning, and corn and
cowpea ensilage at noon. In the
evening they should have crn fodder,
some grain and some mangles or 9TH
er root crop. Such a ration fed sys-
tematically will produce excellent re-
suits. The ewes will prove good
mothers, and bring into the world the
finest spring lambs.
By good feeding it is possible in
time to secure flock Of ewes which
will produce many twins. The ewes
which show a tendency to produce
twins should be carefully selected
and fed separately. By breeding
carefully in this way the profits of
the work will be nearly doubled. But
it should be remembered that ewes
world twins in healthy condition, nor
can they rear them successfully after
they are born.
Consequently perfect health of the !
ewes is the first great step toward
success Unless one raises his win
ter feed in abundance he will not give
the sheep the amount and quality of
food that they demand for this pur-
pose. When we have to purchase
food in the market we feed so eco
nomically that we are bound to de-
prive the animals of their rightfuI
allowance. Provision for next sea-
sons spring lamb should, therefore,
be made now.-E. P. Smith, in Am
erican Cultivator.

Value of Tobacco Dust.

The value of tobacco dust as an aid
to successful truck growing is too
little appreciated. If there is one in
secticide which should be on hand
and used by the truck grower all the
time it is tobacco dust. Aside from
its insecticide value it is worth prob
ably all it costs as a fertilizer to any
soil or crop to which it may be ap-
piled. Any good fertilizer drill will
answer for drilling it into the soil IN
to which seed are to be sown later on.
Use at the rate Of 400 pounds per
acre with the seed when drilled in.

of foliage for silage and hay, while
the bean if allowed to ripen is one OF
the richest feeds for growing stock
and valuable auxiliary as a part of

plant as a soil renovator has become
widespread. Being a legume, it pos
sesses the property of nitrogen gath

to its growth.

Practical Tomato Culture.

Anyone who persists in adhering
to the old idea of allowing tomato
vines to sprawl over the ground at
random can hardly expect to raise
such fruit as the thorough gardener
who ties them up to stakes and trains
them according to system. The foll
mer is sure to lose tomatoes, since
those coming in contact with the
ground will rot more or less. 1t
Is true that when tomato vines are
trained upon stakes they may not
yield any more fruit in proportion to
the vine than when left upon the
ground, but they will generally pro-
duce larger and better fruit less like
ly to become defective before matur-
ing. Here are two points of vital i'm
rortance in favor of training tomato
vines upon stakes.
Whether one raises tomatoes on a
large or small scale, it is 5y all
means advisable to stake them in
some manner. By SO doing the work
OF picking is simplified, and If they
are trained on sort of trelliswcrk
along the rows one can walk between
the hills and gather them quickly.
One can also watch the condition of
the vines more readily than when
they are permitted to sprawl all over
the ground, and it is less difficult to
keep the worms and grubs away.
Stalking is really far superior to the
Old method in every respect, and
when it is done in time it is always
comparatively easy.
Wonderful to relate, the longer the
tomato is grown on one kind of soil
and in the same place with good care
the better it will thrive. If possible.
therefore, ground suitable for tomato
culture should be selected and kent
for that purpose. The ground having
been well prepared in the spring,
stake should be driven into the soil
at intervals of 10 feet and SO arranged
as to present long rows about two
and a half feet apart. The tomatoes
should then be planted in hills along
these rows, and as the vines begin
to spread strong twine should be run
on nails from one stake to another
like wire on fence posts. On this strong
twine the tomato vines can be trained
as grapes are trained on a trellis. Y
Trained in the manner described
the sun reaches all the tomatoes
causing them to ripen evenly. But
this is not all. New fruit will keen
coming on the vines when thus
trained longer than it otherwise
would, affording just as many gre.n
tomatoes in autumn for picking as If
only a few ripe ones had grown dur
ing the season.
Pruning the vines will make them
stocky, and in that case the vitality
of the plants will go into a fewer
number of tomatoes. Hence advan-
tages can be derived by pruning if
large tomatoes are desired but for
general field culture l would not rec
ommend it. An ordinary plant prop
erly trained will usually produce to-.
Matoes large enough for market with
out any pruning. Cut off dead
branches, trim where the vines are
too thick, and where they have a ten
dency to go all to stem. The result
OF such thoroughness will be plenty
of good fruit, which will find ready,
sale in any neutrality-suspicious. En-,

An Intelligent Bird.

The yakamik, or trumpeter of Vene-
zuela, fowl of the crane species, Is a
bird of extraordinary intelligence. The
natives use it instead of sheep dogs
for guarding and herding their focks.
1t is said that, however far the yalSa-
mix may wander with the flocks, it
never fails to find its way home at
night, driving before it all the crea-
lures intrusted to it's care.

DAWN AND SUNSET,
At dawn,

At dawn,
A modest trill is heard,
signal from some unseen bird,
Some trusty harbinger of morn;
Then from the tiny, swelling throats
A halleluiah of rich notes
In greeting to the day just born.
At sunset,
When the rosy light
Is fleeing from approaching night,
And woodland shades are growing deep;
A chirp, IL tiutter here and there,
A beat of wings upon the air,
And night has hushed the birds to sleep.

SEEING THE FUruRE,


Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian nov
elIst has made special study OF So
called clairyoyance and other similar
phenomena, and he is said to have come
TO the conclusion that there Is no APP
parent reason why human beings
should not under certain circuin-
stances, see the future with the same
degree OF certainty as he peroeives me
past. A slight change, he thinks, IN the
convolutlons OF the brain might be SUM
cIent to endow people with this GIT
Prophets, however hove been few ana
far between while faklrs, pretenders
and substitutes have been numerous
This Is an attempt at explaining phil
osophically the fact that some people
undeniahly have had the prophetic gift
II has the merit Of novelty Whether 1t
Is the true explanation or not, Is q
different question, A great many per-
sons have refused TO believe In the
prophetic gift, for the simple reason
that they are unable to account for its
existence on the basis Of anything that
is known for certain about the human
faculties. should Mr. Maeterlincks
suggestion be found to have a true phil
osophIc basis, skepticism would be de-
priyed OF enc of It's main supports For
It would mean that the human mind Is
so wonderfully endowed by the Creator,
that under certain circumstances, It
can comprehend the future in the same
way as It sees the past, provided that
the proper development has taken place.

NO INCONSISTENCY.

There Is no Inconsistency in the at

Textbook conventions. ON the 18th of

10 say Of the selection Of the state

no selection by the city Board, Wheth-
er this is a list substantially different
or substantially the same, we leave to
the Judgment OF the intelligent reader.
II Is well known that the state text
book convention was the object Of
criticism on the ground, as alleged,
that good business Judgment was not

as we have explained was asked for
on the ground that some Of the pro-
ceedings of the convention We're not in
conformity with law. But that is n
question not raised by the "News."
