and that If any exists il is quite as like
ly TO be il favor of the red meats as
the reverse Another common notion
That has been proved TO be erroneous
Is that the light meat of poultry is

You Must Cultivate system IL You

The mind is n very delicate, compli-
Gated piece of mechanism, and, al-
though made to do n certain kind Of
work marvelously well, yet, when put
TO an entirely different use, its EN-
cheney IL ruined, just as the delicate
machinery intended for producing fine

cd for this purpose II used TO make
clock parts. When the mind becomes
defle:ted 10 certain extent from Its
normal condition by the vicious read
ing habit, II diyerges more and more
and rarely goes back to the normal.
by desultory habits OF reading and
lack or system you confuse the mind
with large mass OF unclassifed mate
rial. You pick up book and read a
few pages and then pick up another
one and then go from that to a paper
or magazine. This puts the mind In n
chaotic state, because you let every
thing run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans.
Systenless reading Is preftless. You
cannot gain knowledge OF friend or

cannot gain everlasting good by skim

article which brings the most profit If
the market demands fat lambs OF uni
form size and weight and is willing to
tain number TO meet their trade the
flockmaster cannot overlook the trade
demands and realize the most from his
business. Some flockmasters often
wonder why it is that the smaller
punches of lambs often bring the high
est price on the market This comes
from the fact that these lambs have
been well cared for and properly fitted
for the market.
Rearing Lambs.
4 great many fockmasters- seem to
think that in order to produce these
high priced lambs only one should be
allowed to suck the eve. While a
great many ewes are not able to rear
twin lambs successfully alone, If given
a little assistance with the proper kind
of nourishment these ewes will come
along all right l would not care If
every one of my ewes would drop twin
lambs. In my own flock there are a
few ewes that are not free mixers
and unless they are properly fed and
cared for will not raise profitable twin
lambs. There are, however, others in
the flock that could well suckle triplets
with no more assistance than the ones
that have difficulty with two lambs.
This 1 account for in the breeding Of
the animals.-L- c. Reynolds in Ohio

Didn't Satisfy the Magistrate

The other evening man of the bur-
glar type stepped up to an old gen.
tleman and, handing him a piece of
paper, said:
'Sir, would you be good enough to
read me the writing on this piece of
paperY
The individual addressed consented
and, moving toward the rays of con-
venient gas lamp, read the following
words:
''If you utter a cry or speak a single
word shall shoot you. Give me your
watch and chain and your purse at
once and then pass on"
Completely taken Off his guard, the
gentleman handed over the articles
asked for and walked off. A few
steps brought him to a policeman, and,
relating his story, the pair proceeded
in pursuit of the stranger, who was
not yet out of sight.
