The Care of Sheen,

In caring for the sheep strive to have

correspondent OF American Agricultur-
ist. The eve that is thriving at mat

rarely have any trouble in raising her
lambs. In winter give them a dry,
well ventilated place to run in, with a
chance for exercise on pleasant days
Have salt where they can get 1t at any
time and plenty of good water. Be
regular in your feeding and kind in
your treatment. Feed intelligently and
watch closely, that any that are of in
any way may have better chance by
being placed in q different pen. If the
flock is large 1t is best to divide them
as to size and strength.

Skin of a Good Beef Steer.

An active, healthy circulation Of blood
and active digestion and assimilation
Of steer are indicated by the charac.
ter of the skin and hair, says Ii. r.
Smith of the Nebraska experiment sta
ton. The outer skin is n continuation
OF the inner skin which constitutes the
stomach and intestlnes. If the outer
skin is dry and harsh. lacking In Pill
ableness, we may expect also n poorly
nourished inner skin. A soft. pliable
skin, covered with thick messy
growth OF soft fine hair, oily In appear
ance. Is almost certain indication OF
nctiyedigestion and assimilation Of food.
Drawing the skin between the thumb
and foreflnger Is the surest way Of deter
mining its handling quality. In buying
steers for the feed lot. however, this is
not often possible because OF the timid.
lty of the animal. A feeder Of long ex-
perlence learns to associate n bright.

being drawn tightly over the body. |
These are qualities which can be oh.

Strange Fate of m EnuIisb Enrl

Il came across Il bit of treasure the
other day." writes a Washington au
thor who Is down on Cape Cod. III
Is the log book Of the schooner Hera
which sailed from Boston on day
In the seventies. She sailed with a
new first mate on board.
HE seemed an ambitious man, and
he understood navigation. The cap.
tain suspected him Of n desire to be
master of vessel himself some day,
but there was little about him to sug-
gest that he was anything but sailor.
The third day out he was caught by
the down haul Of the mizzen and went
overheard. His body was never recov-
cred. When the Hera came back from
her voyage she was met by two Eng
lishmen. They had crossed the wa
ter posthaste to find that first mate.
Somebody had died IN England, and
WELL the man who was lost Off that
Yankee schooner was the Earl Of
Aberdeen. "-Washlngton Post

FAST WALKING HORSES.
Brisk Gait May BE Taught During
Breaking Period.

Too little attention Is given the walk
Ing gait OF horses OH the farm. Ii
Is subject of prime Importance in
facilitating farm operations and should
receive special consideration in the
breaking and mannering of young
horses destined for agricultural use.
Some fOals inherit fast walking
gait; others will have to be specially
trained to attain this special accom-
plishment.
The difference In the work performed
by fast walking horse and q slow
GATED animal often amounts to con.
siderable. Inheritance and develop
ment are necessary to perfect fast
equine walking gait. A young horse
when being broken should be worked
beside fast walking, well hammered
mate. The yOungster should be I'M
pressed that Il fast walk Is expected
and when so hammered it will natural
ly work up to its educated speed The
attribute established In the process Of |
breaking will likely become permanent. |
The evil of slow walking farm horses
emphasizes not only a less amount
OF work performed. but the actual loss
OF time of high priced hired help.
fast walking pair Of horses will ac-
complish nearly as much as two slow
walking pairs. and In much of the
work the performance is more salts
factory. 1t is wonderful the difference
In the amount of work that will thus
be accomplished in day by horses
that walk quicker as compared with
those that do not. and this difference
will be apparent in almost every line
Of work.
1t will be noticed In cultivating corn.

moving and in drawing loads Of hay

DRAFT HORSE
BREEDING

Some good general farm horses have
been produced from draft sires of tho
light type, especially Percherons and
Clydesdales, says Breeders Gazette
They weigh from 1900 to 400 hounds
ana are active and light steppinp
enough to drive on the road TO spring
wagons or Surveys. These OF course
are insists In draft horse breeding
Ihey are not very common from draft
stations that weigh ton unless the
mares are very weedy, but draft horses
mat are around LOO to 1900 pounds
In weight and of medium size Will
sometimes sire colts of this character
when mated with light mares. On
general principles the big, well finished
coach horse Is to be preferred TO light
lraft stations in attempting to breed
l,3OO to 1,400 pound farm horses. but
here Is no denying the fact that MANY
communities can show the very useful
ype of general purpose horses bred |
rom lightweight draft sires.

Selection and
Care of Swine

Discussing the selection OF boar pigs
to be used in developing herd OF
swine. Mr.. +. ID. Spauldlng said before
the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
association: At weaving time the boar
pigs should be separated from the
gifts, and, if possible, gut into pas
turc with plenty Of water. shade and
grass. This pasture should be away
from any other lot or pasture where
other hogs run. 1t would be better to
nave all the pigs In one lot than to
have them In adjoining pastures. BY
being together they become acquaint-
ed, but If separated by fence they
will fight through 1t, become restless
stop eating and go to fretting or root
ing. When they get to that state the
only thing to do is to put them into
small pen, each one separate from 9TH
ers, where they cannot see or hear
other hogs. After pigs have been run
ming together 1t is bad plan to put
other pigs into the same lot; II will
always stir up the whole drove.
AS to feed, the pasture. If Of clover
Or blue grass, will form large part of
heir ration no matter what you may |
give them. Corn IS the grain most used |
n this or any other corn producing
