ECONOMY OF SHELTER.

BY actual experiment it has been
demonstrated that the saving of food
by means of good shelter is equal to
the cost of the shelter in short time.
Pigs, when provided with good shelter
and warm quarters (by experiment
made), fattered on much less food than
was required to simply keep the un-
protected animals alive The compari-
son is an important one. In the first
place, the animals not properly pro-
Vided with suitable accommodations,
not gaining in weight at all, really de-
stroyed or wasted all that had been
provided them, fer the food was con-
verted into heat, in order to give the
animals protection that should have
been furnished with boards and shing-
les. In the one sense. it might be ask
cd whether feeding an animal on the
products of the farm, which require
labor in order to be produced, Is cheap
or than the shelter which, whom once

And yet think it over and tell me,

Color In the Arctics.

My first experience of color In the
Arctics, says Frank Wlbert Stokes,
whose story and pictures of "The Au-
rora Borealis" are feature of the Feb
ruary Century, led me to believe that,
from the most regal lpurples -selds,
and crimsons of sunlight to the black
purples, grays, and gray-greens of
storms, there existed no intermediate
effects. But sojourn of year in the
northland proved that great Natures
palette was here set with more va
ried riches than elsewhere. Especial
ly was this true of the color-effects of
the long twilight of approaching win
ter, the returning light Of day, and
even in the heart of the polar night.

A Worthy Cause.

Sentiment is stronger that good
roads are certainly as worthy cause
as good harbors. Part Of the traffic
all that is produced-has to pass over
the roads Harbors are necessary and
of benefit to the country. Good roads
will benefit the whole country more
Immediately. The benefit of it will
be direct, something tangible. While
providing better facilities for the ex-
ports and import Of materials, why not
add to the welfare Of the farmer, the
small owners, by inaugurating a sys-
tenn of good roads. Such a policy, by
bringing the producer closer to the
market, enhances the value not only
of produce, but of the farms on which
it is produced. 1t will add to the
wealth Of the country.

They Mourn in Bed

In the dark part Of the middle ages
red and not black was the favorite
mourning color throughout Europe
Even down to the end of the fifteenth
century the change from blood red to
bla elk was not complete, though black
cidaks were worn over red clothing.
Ir Abyssinia the mourning color is a
reddish brown. In Turkey it is violet,
a eo:or closely allied to red. 1t is a
curious fact that among the Mauri3
of New Zealand red is the rue of sor.
row. In earlier times mourners
dapbed their bodies with red juices
when they followed chief to his

German Children Walk.

(From Charles Gerould's Child Life in
Germany" in February st. Niciolas)
If were asked what is the favorite
amusement OF German children, l
should answer, taking long walks into
the country. The love of nature seems
to L. born with most of them. Be
sides. they are sturdy young folks, and
are perfectly willing to put up with In
conveniences. For these reasons they
are just the people to enjoy walking
in the country, and the practice begun
in childhood is kept up during life.
When the children go on these long
walks, they often carry what we should
call botanical box (that is, tin box
about foot and half long, with
rounded edges, and lid on hinges),
sIung over the shoulder by strap.

RED DEER AND CARIBOU.
Unexplained Antipathy of the Latter
For the Former.

Unexplained Antipathy of the Latter
For the Former.
The disappearance Of caribou before
the invading herds of red or Virginia
deer is one of the puzzling facts o.:
natural history The red deer are not
half the size of the caribou, yet 1t Is
beyond dispute that even where the
latter exist in largest numbers they
will rapidly disappear before the ad''
vance of The former. Years ago Carl
bou abounded in the woods of northern.
Maine and in the province of Quebec
Then the graceful little red deer
driven north and west by the wolves
gradually spread into the home of the
ca Thou, and within season or two
the latter had become as scarce in
their old home as the red deer previ-
ously had been.
On the other hand, the north country
of Canada, in the neighborhood of
Lake st. John and St Maurice. which
formerly supported vast herds Of deer,
has been completely deserted by them
for many years past, though moose
and caribou are plentiful. Equally far
north, in the Ottawa and Gatineau
country, red deer and moose are found
in very large Numbers, but no caribou.
Owing largely, IT, is supposed, to the
increase in the number Of wolves, the
range of the red deer is rapidly extend
ing to the south and east, and speci-
-nans have been seen and killed in
parts of the country north of Quebec,
where they had not been seen before
for more than generation. The In
dian and other hunters are already
fcreaelling the disappearance of the
Carlton from this part Of the country,
where they are at present very abund-
ant.
There is theory that the instinct Of
the caribou tells them that an invasion
of their feeding grounds by the deer
is Que to the pursuit Of the latter by
the wolves, and that it is the horror
of these pests which leads them to for-
sake any territory to which they seem
to know that their distasteful neiSn.
tors are leeing for refuge. There are
not wanting careful observers among
Canadian woodsmen who attribute to
jealousy of the little Virginia deer, at
the approach of the mating season. the
action OF the caribou In fleeing with its
mate from the company and the coun.
try Of his gay little rival. The prob
lera Is most interesting one, and is
engaging the attention of many inves-
tigators-New York Sun.

PROFITS FROM KEEPING SHEEP.

PROFITS FROM KEEPING SHEEP.
The sheep is primarily meat-pro-
ducing animal, and needs to be bred
and fed for that purpose. 1t involves
changes in methods from those pre-
vailing when the wool did pay for the
feed. There is no reason at all why
men who have been accustomed to
keeping sheep and have their farms
and their buildings equipped for their
management should not continue to-
keep them. They may need to change
the type of their flock, but more prob
ably need to change their method of
growing them. Mutton cannot be
made proftably on the skimping plan
that did secure profits when wool was
forty cents pound. The profit is in
the lamb, and the earlier in its life it
can be marketed the greater the profit.
There are thousands of lambs in this
and adjoining states that should be
marketed this month that their own
ers do not realize are ready for mar
ket, and will keep until fall, and prof.
ably sell for less than they will bring
now, for they will not be any heavier
and, being older, will be worth ] ess, be-
cause as an animal increases in age
its ability to make gain out of feed
consumed decreases.
Lambs that weigh siXty-fve pounds
or above should be sent to market at
once. A eve old enough to produce
lamb can be purchased for what it will
bring, and in that way the producing
flock be doubled I know Of no other
stock that brings returns so quickly
and surely with SO little labor and so
little risk as good flock of ewes.
Then the immediate dollar is not
all to be considered in farm operations.
A farmers capital is not wholly
gauged by his bank account. The i'm
provement in fertility and character
of the herbage of the farm are import
ant results that follow the keeping Of
sheep. They eat wider range of
herbage than any other animal, and
carry fertility to the higher points of
the field. 1t takes rich corn farm
to insure profits from hog feeding, but
farm will constantly grow more pro-
ductive under sheep. Two ewes to
the acre will pay as good rent for land
as anything else, and do it with very
little labor.-H. P. Miller, in Ohio
Farmer.
