The Power of Hercdity.

Man has greatly modified the forms
and habits of all the animals that
have been domesticated by him, yet
he has not been able to eliminate Ger.
tain traits that have come down
through thousands of generations
from the remote past. Even the house
dog, furnished n bed to his liking, will
turn round a number of times before
lying down, just as did the wild dog
his remote ancestor, who had to do
that to break down the tall grass for
his bed. Even the cow on the range
has not forgotten the habits of her re.
mote progenitors and hides her calf
In the bushes, though the careful
herdsman will take care of it, and the
COW knows it. Even the custom of
the mare in nursing her foal a little
at a time, but often is believed to
come from habits developed by thou.
sands and thousands of years of ex.
perience when the mare had to de.
pend on herself to keep out of the
way of ravenous animals. The colt
would not be able to run fast with a
full stomach and so the mother was
watchful to give him little at time
and keep him in running trim. II we
have not been able in some thousands
of years to eliminate such traits. how
long must have been the period dur.
ing which they were forming?

The Good Feeder.

The hide Of the easy feeder should
be Of medium thickness and should be
soft and mellow. The hair should be
fine and thick, as this indicates good
respiratory and circulatory organs
within. The skin tells more truthful
tale OF the ability Of the steer to make
the best use of food than most of us
suppose. When the digestive organs
lack strength and the circulation is
poor and sluggish, the hide becomes
thick and unyielding to the touch, and
the hair is harsh and wiry. The head
should be short measuring from limo
drawn across the eyes to the nose,
and should be broad. This indicates
the ability to masticate food The
large mouth is indicative nearly al.
ways of an ability to take care of a
great deal Of food. The nostrils will
generally be large in an easy feeder.

breathing. This is of Importance, as
it is by means of the lungs that the
carbon in the body of the animal is
changed into carbonic-acid gas, thus
producing force in the change. Skill.

The End of Ali Armies.

We may really be on the verge of
the millennium, for M. Emile Guarini
has come to the conclusion that 1t
will soon be possible to destroy armies
by lightning. Receiving shock from
wireless telegraph apparatus through
an umbrella, he experimental with a
Ruhmkorff coil, and found that shocks
could be transmitted through the air
with moderate currents. He con-
cludes that the energy of 1000 horse
power, at 100000 volts. could be con.
centrated by antennae so as to de-
stroy life at a distance of twelve
miles. The present difficulty, which
he believes will be soon overcome, is
that Of controlling and directing the

Thrift in Sheen.

In the raising of sheep sight must
at no time be lost of the necessity for
keeping them thrifty. Some human
beings may go without their breakfast
and get along on a half ration, but
this rule must not be applied to the
sheep. The thrifty sheep Is healthy
sheep, and one that can and will re-
sist disease, because 1t is thrifty.
Thrift means that there can be an in.
crease in productiveness and in
growth because the internal organs
are working we'll. Both quantity and
quality of gain come out OF thrift.
There is no better way to stave on
disease than by thrift. There is no
better way to help the sheep keep
away intestinal parasites than by
keeping it thrifty. This should be the
first object of the intelligent flock
master. Not only is the amount of
mutton made governed by this matter
OF thrift, but even the quality OF the
wool is affected. The elements that
so to make thriftiness in sheep are,
| first, good feed, and all of IL that
the sheep will eat and digest; second,
good and pure water and enough of
| it; third, good shelter, which means
shelter not too close nor too open;
and lastly, attention by the shepherd.
One would think these to be self evil
dent truths and that no attention
would need to be called to them. Yet
in the matter of food we know that it
is quite a common custom on many
OF our farms to allow the sheep to
care for themselves in the summer.
even when the drouth has dried up
the pasture SO that it is a most diff
cult task for these animals to get
enough to eat to appease their hun

tured on the tops of mountains, where
it was long distance to any water
supply, and the sheep would, Of
course, become very thirsty before
taking their long journey to the foot
OF the mountain In such flock
there can be little profit either in
mutton or in wool. This condition is
more likely to occur in late summer
and early fall than at any other time
The shepherd will then be hardly
likely to notice the lack of thrift, as
the wool is increasing slowly on the
backs and sides Of the sheep and the
shrinking carcass is not seen. At
this time of year too there is a tend
ency for the wool to grow long on ac-
count Of the approaching cold wealth
or, this being a provision of nature
to protect the sheep against the cold
of the coming winter. A flock SO kept
will be disappointment to the farm
er, for he will not be able to get
either the weight of wool or of car
cass he expected. His greatest disap-
pointment will come when the car
casses are weighed, and he will fail
to understand why sheep that seemed
to be all right while on pasture should
shrink so on dressing If the pastures
do not furnish enough feed at all
times to keep the flock thrifty, it will
pay well to watch the decadence of
the feed in the pasture and supple.
