Cotswo1d Breed of Sheep.

The illustration furnishes an idea Of
the Cotswold sheep, which are becom-
ing very popular, as breeders under
stand that they require good care. AS
lamb producers they rank very high,
while the fleece is heavy and Of first
grade. Considerable trouble has been
experienced in raising the breed in
some sections, for seemingly they were
not suited to the climate.

SAVED FROM RATTLERS.

Two Venomous Snakes Enter Homo of
Pennsylvania Farmer.
No Pennsylvania mother in Indian
times ever had a more thrilling expert
ence than fell to the lot OF Mrs Joseph
Button near Haneyville. She saved
the life Of her year-old child in
unique way and. then dispatched an
enemy that menaced her own life.
The Button home is on the old turn
pike that runs from Jersey Shore to
Coudefsport, and not far from the
the Black Forest. Mrs. Button, COM
paratively young and used to the
dangers of wild beasts, is as brave
woman as one could find In days
travel amid the hills of Clinton or
Potter counties. She has n record OF
axe and three deerskins in her home
are trophies Of her craftsmanship.
But her experience of the other day
had to do with rattlesnakes, and she
declares now that she'd rather tackle
regiment Of wild CATS than to face
such q situation again.
Mrs Button had gone to a pasture
to milk two cows. She left her baby
asleep OH one Of the deerskin mats on
the floor of the kitchen. On the way
out she stopped at the garden patch
to pick some vegetables, SO that when
she finished the milking and started
back to the house more than half an
hour had elapsed.
AS she neared the house her cars
caught the prattling Of her baby boy.
Fastening to the house, Mrs. Button
was Mortified to see a monster rattle
snake half-coiled on the floor within
two feet of the baby. It's rattlers
were buzzing, furiously and the ugly
head was elevated and swaying from
side to side. Mrs. Button realized that
it was about to strike. The baby had
in his hands q birch switch, and with
this was endeayoring to strike the
serpent. 1t was this that had aroused
the snakes temper. The child had the
switch appraised and was about to give
the snake a playful blow.
Almost fainting the mother tottered
Onward her child. Her strength gave
way and she fell against the babys
high chair, which stood near the door.
Her arm rested against something
soft, and an angry rattle reused her
to action. Another rattlesnake was
coiled OH the seat Of the chair. The
woman was in the same peril~as the
child. Springing forward, she hurled
the two gallons of milk that she car
ried at the reptile on the floor, at the
same time deluging the baby.
The effect was instantaneous. Ceas-
ing its rafting, the reptile on the floor
started for the door. Mrs. Button
seized a broom and with a single blow
broke its neck.
At this moment the snake on the
high chair struck at the woman, and,
barely missing her. fell upon the floor
near the baby. Here the reptiles
popularity gave the woman the vic
tory. A RATHER never strikes except
from the coil 1t could have bitten
the baby as it lay stretched upon
the floor, but, true to its nature, it
began to coil first. Before 1t could
arrange itself for striking the woman
dispatched it with the broomstick.-

Machinery in the Wheat Field.
The grower who raises square mile
or more of wheat is constantly look
ing for machinery that will lessen the
expense Of harvesting and threshing
the crop. For this reason the machine
known as the header has come into
favor within a few years. The header
clips the stalks Of wheat few inches
below the head of the grain, and no
binding is necessary. 1t cuts swath
twelve feet wide. The four horses
which furnish the power are hitched
behind, and they push the machine
into the field. A self-binder is drawn
by three or four horses and cuts
swath six or seven feet wide. A head
er will harvest forty acres day,
while the capacity of binder Is fif-
teen acres day. The cuttings are car
ried from the header, by an endless
belt, to a header barge, which Is
driven beside the machine. When one
barge is full 1t is driven to the stack
and another takes it's place. The adj
vantage Of binder Is that the wheat
can be cut before 1t is thoroughly ripe,
as the ripening process will continue
In the shock. Harvesting is often be-
gun with binder and finished with
header A new machine which Is being
ton binder and header. A header is
indispensable when the wheat Is short
1t lessons the expense Of harvesting,
as the wheat goes at once into the
stack, instead Of being shocked. and
then stacked.-Review Of Reviews.

In some respects the result of crossing
a Cotswold ram with ewes Of other
breeds, notably South Downs, gives a
stronger animal than the pure-bred
Cotswold. The length Of the fleece, as
well as other desirable features of the
breed, make it well worth the atten-
tion OF sheep raisers, at least for cross
