Building Up a Flock of Sheep.

In starting out to raise sheep, a
breeder should have clearly in mind
what breed and type he wishes to
raise, then stick to it, come what may,
writes w. F.. Renk, in Orange Judd
Farmer. Cross breeding and changing
from one breed to another gives no
definite results. With pure bred
sheep, type may sometimes change a
little.
Now, suppose we have a good bunch
of ewes of the breed we want; we will
mate them to ram with a masculine
eye and head, with short, thick neck,
wide and deep chest, back and loins,
wide and straight and we'll covered
with lean meat, rump wide and long,
twist plump and fleece of good quality
and dense. Too much pains cannot be
given in selecting ram, as on him de-
ponds by far the greater part of the
Improvement Of the flock.
A common flock of ewes can in q
short time be graded up to first-class
sneep by always using the very best
of sires and selecting and culling with
judgment.

Overfed and Underfed Hens.

It is not possible to lay down hard
and fast rules for feeding, because of
the fact that different hens require
different quantities. The best plan is
to watch the flock carefully when feed
ing to see that every hen gets her
share. The man who raises the feed
for his fowls is the one who is likely to
Overfeed them, while the one who buys
his feed is likely to err in the opposite
direction. The only way one can man
age with any degree of certainty is
to try different quantities of food on
the flock for period long enough to
note results. 1t will pay to weigh
the hens in order to get accurate re.
suits. When the proper allowance
seems to have been reached, feed &C.
cordingly and do not change unless
necessary.

Poultry Notes.

Prevention is better than physics,
especially in the poultry yard.
Keep plenty of grit where the fowls
can eat what they want at any time.
The small poultry yards and houses
need more attention than the larger
ones.
Many of the poultry diseases are the
result of crowding and unclean sur
roundings
Lazy men make bad poultry men.
Only hustling, busy, wide-awake men
ever succeed.
All fowls that you do not intend to
winter should be sold before cold
weather sets in.
Theory works very poorly in the
poultry yard. You need good, sound
sense, coupled with experience.
Do not imagine that you know all
about the poultry business. 1t takes
years of experience to insure success.
Be kind to the poultry and teach
every hen to love and know you. Re-
suits will tell Of every little favor
shown.
Dark skin fowls are just as sweet
and juicy as the yellow. 'Tis not the
color that makes the favorite fowl for
the table.
Charcoal is very beneficial to the
fowls, and you never see a case OF in
digestion where the fowls are given
access to it.

co is little shorter and deeper, but
of about the same capacity.
A new box shown in the figure holds
little more than a bushel. A special
feature is the panel ends. These make
the package lighter and stronger than
if the ends were of one solid thick
piece, the panels acting as braces and
making handles. The best way to get
these boxes is in the form of shocks.
They are easily put together by any
one who can handle hammer and nails.
Making boxes is entirely different
from putting barrels together. We
never recommend any one to attempt
this unless he has had some expert
ence at cooperage business, as barrel
slaves are as contrary things as one
can imagine. Box shocks may be

why Horses CRIB.

Every one who has owned q horse
which is constantly gnawing at the
manger and at any bit of wood into
which it can get it's teeth knows how
troublesome the habit is. 1t can be
broken up, but it will require consid-
cradle time and effort. The cause of
this habit is, in the majority of cases,
due to indigestion or to bad teeth, so
when a horse has the habit it should
be turned over to the veterinary sur
geon tO have its teeth put in order. If
this does not break up the habit, then
treat the animal for indigestion.
Give the animal a dose consisting of
a mixture of two ounces of turpentine
and one pint of linseed oil, and repeat
in a week. See that the animal has
plenty of exercise, and keep lump of
rock salt in its manger all the time.
For q while let the ration consist of
bran and cornmeal night and morning,
with cut hay as roughage; at noon let
the ration be of whole oats, with a
small allowance of hay. Under this
treatment the animal will show a
marked Improvement in a short time,
and if it is persisted in the treatment
eventually will break up the habit of
cribbing.

eral days they said today they consid-
cred him in fit condition to fight at

225 pounds. he is as light on his feet
as he was on that memorable night in
Frisco when he outpointed Corbett and
was a revelation to all who had seen
him in the ring with Rubin and F1tz.
Jeffries began regular boxing today
with Kennedy and his brother Jack,
and the way he hustled them around
was painful-at least to them. When
Jefr gets excited he isn't conscious how
heavy he hits. and both his sparring
partners are in constant danger of a
knockout blow. JEFF is playing hand
ball every day, as he regards this as
fine exercise for the wind.

HoCH AT ENfPORIA.
Declared in q Lecture to Students
Poor Boys Make Best Men.


Emporia, Kan. June 2.-The EN-
pOria college held its annual COM
mencement exercises in Austin chapel.
The orator of the day was z. w. HOch
of Marion. Mr.. HOch began with ar
apology for not having spent much
time in preparation because his can
didacy was leading him a strenuous
life. Mr.. Hoch seemed to open uD his
heart in a kind. fatherly talk to the
young people. He did not attempt a
flight of oratory. He laid down plain,
simple facts for building Christian
characters. He advised against read
Ing the daily papers too much and
against secular reading on Sunday.
Mr.. Hoch's idea of the unfortunate
boy is he who is born rich. 1t is the
poor boys who make the men he said.
AS Kansas best sample, he paid a
tribute to Senator Preston B. Plumb,
1.-THE most useful man Kansas ever
produced"
Mr.. Hoch is for education He
stood for the education of the whole
man, the mind from books, the body
IN athletics and the soul in religion.
He closed with an appeal to the young
people to round out their education
with the browning glory of it all, a
Christian character.
