Mutton Chops.

Sulphur, or snuff, rubbed through
the fleece will destroy ticks.
The best single grain for breeding
sheep is oats. Bran is also good for
breeding ewes to stimulate them and
produce strong lambs.
Corn should be restricted to the fat
tening flock, and then must be strong
with a heterogeneous food such as clover
hay.
Timothy hay is not suited to the
needs of the sheep: digestive disorders
occur when timothy hay is fed, which
often result in the loss OF the sheep.
Glover and mixed hay may be fed to
the flock with good results.
Roots, when fed with grain, produce
choice mutton. The sheep may be
herded on the root crop in the field,
after which the cups can be pulled
and stored before frost.
A few neglected sheep will eat up
the profit Of several good ones. Get
rid of the Improbable ones and give
the others good care.
Each sheep should be allowed five
feet floor space and eighteen inches to
two feet at the rack.
The troughs for grain feeding should
be ten to twelve inches wide so that
the sheep must eat slowly.
Racks which prevent the chaf from
getting in the wool should be used.
A rack consisting Of vertical Stats,
with a moderate slant. placed about
two inches apart. will keep the fleece
clean. as little or no hay is placed over
the sleeps backs. The back Of the
rack may be given a slant to allow
room for sufficient hay.
It is best in feeding not to carry the
hay over the sleeps backs: it car be
dropped from above to the racks. or
placed in the racks from the ends or
alleys.
Drinking places should be provided
which allow fresh water to be kept
before the lock.-Fwm Journal.

Practical Poultry Points.


1t is time to prepare the henhouse
for winter. Windows should be re-
placed and glass put in. Floors should
be cleaned, plenty of litter supplied,
the water dishes arranged so that they
will not freeze easily, the nests re-
newed, and a good dust bath fur
.nishcd.
An old iron sink makes an excellent
dust bath if raised a little distance
from the earth to insure dryness, and
filled with q mixture Of dry garden
soil, road dust and ashes and a little
sulphur. 1t should be placed where
the sun will strike it as much as pos
sible during the short days of winter.
If the busting material is thoroughly
dryed it will not freeze.
This is the time Of year when ene-
mics Of all kinds are most likely to
visit the poultry yards. Traps may
be set for minks,, weasles, skunks.
foxes. and a sharp watch must be kept
for the twolegged marauders. 1t is
not difficult to arrange the henhouse
doors so that when the door is opened
a bell will be rung in the dwelling
house, connection being made with a
cord, or better, a fine wire.
Scatter the grain welt in litter to
insure exercise when the fowls are
feeding.
1t is a good plan to feed two or three
kinds Of fine grain at one time, thus
assisting digestion and securing more
exercise than in feeding one large
kind, such as corn.
The seed of Kafir corn is excellent
as an exercise grain. It is small and
hard to find, and keeps the fowls
scratching for hours if thrown in about
five inches Of chopped straw.
A little linseed meal is a help at
moulting time. Use about q pint to
a pailful of soft feed.
The grain has been cut and carted.
Now is the time to give the young pull
lets a change; it will do them a good
deal of good, and cost less for feeding.
build up large frames, and fit the
young birds for winter laying. They
should be shut in the house over night,
and next morning be moved out on to
the stubble. A piece Of six foot wire
netting should be placed around the
house for a day or so, until the birds
get used to their new quarters. The
house should be moved frequently: one
on wheels is best for the purpose. They
require very little feeding; In fact,
they need only to be fed when the
weather is wet, as they cannot then
go about in search Of food. If farm
ers knew the value Of their stubbles for
this purpose, I think more would make
use Of them. They not only do the
birds good. but it improves the land
considerably, as they find a large
amount Of insects and slugs, which
would do harm to the growing crop
next year. Where the late chickens
have been Matched, if they can be put
on the stubbles, they will grow much
faster and keep more healthy.

Teaching Animals to Eat.

Young animals that have never
passed a. winter in the feed lot know
of no other food but green pasture.
tf they are not taught to eat while on
grass they must be starved to dry feed
when winter approaches. Starving
is indeed expensive under any condi-
ton and is especially so with young
animals. The check in growth, the
going backward may not be overcome
Until grass comes again and the work
and food given for winter goes for
naught. A gradual change by giving
fodder and grain while on grass is
much preferable to sudden changes.

teen years in San Quentin for the muir
der of George B. Morse, son of Detec-
tive Harry N. Morse of San Francisco,
on the Bolles farm, near Marysville.
last July. Judge Mcdaniel informed
Hankins that by good behavior he can
reduce the actual term to ten years.
The motion of Attorneys Carlin and
Johnson for a new trial was denied, but
a stay was given pending an appeal to
the Supreme Court.
Counsel for the defense made strong
effort to have the boy sent to a reform
school, but the Judge considered the
offense too grave and opportunity to
escape too frequent. He said Hawkins
was too dangerous to take chances
with, and that his influence on the 9TH
ers in the school would be bad for
them. In the opinion of the court the
boy stands a better chance of being re-
formed in a penitentiary than in a re-
form school.
Hawkins is only IA years old. but took
his sentence like man. He said he ex-
pected to fare worse and had figured
the exact time he would be required to
serve on a twenty -year sentence with
credits deducted. He said he preferred
to go to San Quentin because it was
nearer to his relatives in Alameda.
