No Hurry to Pasture.

At this time Of year the dairyman
Is looking AT his pastures ex~pectant-

TO urn out his COWS with some
chance of them getting n fair part
Of their living. The temptation TO

out on the first of May, no matter
what the condition of the pasture or

calitics is well advanced on the first

An Unkind Question,

gated a resolution that evening dress

tors who dined or paid evening visits
to the club, that Tom Dunn, the for
mer sheriff, fell into Il library arm
chair one night.
Mr.. Dunn's own garb would have
passed muster at Marlborough House,
so he looked around upon the throng
in confidence and content.
There came a certain man OF bust
ness to the club that night who wore
an evening suit which was violating,
expensive, and correct in detail.
But he did not look comfortable
Pride kept him quiet for a few mo

Uncle Sam as Foster Mother.

A rural conscript during the civil
war appeared before the board OF en-
rollment and desired to be exempt
that he might return to his country
home.
What are your claims?" asked the
doctor.
II am entirely dependent upon my
mother for support" was the innocent
reply.
The members of the board smiled
and the doctor replied.

your mother Of so unsuitable a burden
and assume your entire charge ant

About Pheasants.

In the care Of p~heasants there are
no hard rules beyond those common
sense dictates. Circumstances vary
so greatly as to climate and locality
that what might be true OF one local
ity would not he true of another.
One thing Is certain and that is this,
the English or Monaghan p%heasants
have come to stay. Their introduc-
ton and propagation have long since
passed the experimental stage. Both
the above named birds are strictly q
woodland bird and will fly to a wood
or coppes as sOon as scared, but their
feeding grounds are usually the open
arid fields where grain and bugs can
be found. Don't think for a moment
that pheasants will stay where they
are reared; they may do II some.
times, but at other times will 60 miles
away, much depends on the location.
II feed and water is TO be found In
abundance, and the birds have a
thicket or hiding place to go to when
scared they will most likely stay
where they were liberated or raised.
One OF the best things to keep your
p~heasants at home is to plant a
mixed patch of broom corn and so,.
ghum; this will make a good hiding
place and at the same time an abupd.
