STARTING LAMBS ON FEED. Failure or Success Is Determined by the Care Used in the Be- |.
 ginning.

I do not believe any other one phase of lamb feeding contributes more toward failure than careless feeding when the lambs are first put onto feed. Toward the end of the feeding season careless beginners wonder why their lambs have not done better on the amount of feed supplied them. In nearly every case 1t is because they were not started in the right manner to begin with, writes a Michigan farmer in Orange Judd Farmer.
 When first began feeding lambs for market was inexperienced in the busi- ness, but several of my neighbors had been feeding lambs for several years. To start with purchased 100 western lambs out of car lot shipped in by one of my neighbors. The lambs were put .oato corn feed as soon as they ar rived at the barn. Clover hay and bean pods were fed for roughage and corn and oats as a grain ration. Both of these were fed in amounts that the lambs would clean up nicely. These lambs were fed during the winter and the following spring marketed, but to my surprise they had hardly made an aver age gain of 15 pounds each.
 This illustrates the importance of starting the lambs right. While had supplied the proper amount of food, had not prepared the lambs to consume Fit profitably. Since, have become more acquainted with the art of feeding lambs and am now able to fit lambs that when ! marketed bring the top prices.
 For the first two or three weeks after the lambs are put onto feed they should be fed very carefully. At first they are inclined to overeat and unless the feed IS supplied in moderate amounts, seri- ous trouble results that in many in- stances terminates the feeding season. It Is advisable for two or three days after | the lambs are put in the barn to feed bright oat straw twice daily at morning and evening. With this kind of rough age there is not the danger of the lambs overeating. The aim in feeding this kind of food is to give the lambs chance to rest up physically before loading the stomach. After the first two or three days the arrangement can be turned around and the hay fed twice daily and the oat straw once at noon.

Wild horses are roaming over the
southern Nevada deserts in large
bands, and making a nuisance OF
themselves by the damage they do
to ranches and in stampeding do
mestic stock. Consequently the
ranchmen have sworn exterm1na-
ton, and are killing the wild horses
whenever they can get the drop on
them. But the springs over the
country are being taken up and
fenced in, so that with their supply
of water cut off, the wild horses
will soon become relic of the past

Young Roscius.

One of the strangest figures of the
British stage was Young Roscius. His
other name was William Henry West
Betty. He lived until Aug. "a, 1874, al
though he had made his last stage ap-
pearance on Aug. o, 1924, at the age Of
thirty-two. Theatrical history has no
parallel to his childhood. 1t was this
little Irish boy who after seeing Mrs.
Siddons had declared that he must die
If he did not become an actor. He took
Belfast by storm in 1903, when not
quite twelve, and nearly stihed scores
of Londoners on Dec. 1, 1904. Foot
guards and officers were overpowered
by the crowd, and gentlemen charged
through the boxes and jumped by
twenties into the pit" for places.

Her smuggled Neck1ac..

Women who are the soul of rectitude
In all other things will not hesitate to
cvade the law when it comes to snug
Cling. For some reason or other they
do not consider smuggling dishonest,
but rather as an exciting sort of game
to play. Every woman who goes to
Europe spends hours of her preparation
to return in devising means of bringing
things in without paying duty.
Men are much more honest about the
things they bring in, and not long ago
l heard of a case in which man hu-
mored this smuggling tendency In his
daughter, but took good care that she
should not be discovered evading the
law.
His daughter had purchased a valua-
bic diamond necklace In London and
announced her determination to bring
it in without paying one penny of duty.
There was no reason in the world why
she should have chosen to do this, as
her father was n very rich man and
could have paid the duty without not
ing its absence from his bank account.
But she wanted the excitement, and
her father agreed to let her have her
own way. She brought the necklace in
In small bag, which her father asked
her to let him hold for a moment or
two, and it was not for nearly a year
that she found out her father had de-
clared the ornament and paid the duty
on 1t. At any rate, she had had her
amusement.-NewY York Post.

To FIJI Up Her Time.

The family who had lived for ten
years in the small house owned by old
lady Crocker had moved away. She
asked her agent to secure some quiet
and desirable tenants for the property
as soon as possible.
The agent advertised and within a
few days had a call from a man, who
asked numerous questions about the
house.
'"There are seven good sized rooms"
said the agent, "and an excellent cellar.
How many are there in your family?"
"My wife and myself and twelve chill
dren," said the man.
"Ah," said the agent, 'T'm afraid that
would hardly do, as Mrs. Crocker is old
and something Of an invalid and lives
next door. She is not particularly fond
of children"
WELL" and the man looked indig-
nant, 81 shouldn't think she'd mind;
there are only five little ones"
But the agent shook his head.
Its all right anyway" said the man,
with a quick change Of base. Il don't
believe there's land enough around that
house, and it's too near the city. What
1 really want is a place farther out,
with an acre or so of ground and a
barn and chance to keep q COW and
chickens and room to grow some vege-
tables, so my wife will have something
to take up her spare time."-Youth's
Companion.

The Miss of q 'NIr."

An amusing illustration of the value
Of courtesy in the factory is given by
the London Engineering Magazine. "At
one time" says the writer, 1--WE had
some large forging drawings returned
to the works, and the order clerk, into
whose hands they came, told his er-
rand boy to take them to Burnham,'
one of the foremen. The boy looked in
astonishment, but upon a peremptory
order he went off with the drawings.
We missed them a day or two later,
and upon inquiring Of the boy he said,
You told me to take them to burn 'em,
and l did it, In fact, he had taken
those drawings to the boiler room and
had them burned, all because the order
clerk forgot to use the Mr. when CIV

A Royal AccOmpIIce.

One day when Francis 1. was in his
chapel attending mass with several Of
his noblemen well dressed pickpocket
went and stood behind the cardinal Of
Lorraine and abstracted his purse, but
unable to do this without the king per-
ceiving it he put up his finger to init
mate that the latter should keep 81
lence. The king took it for a practical
joke and said never a word. But aft
er the service he asked the cardinal
what he had done with his purse. The
prelate, not being able to find 1t, was
very much annoyed and took the king
to task, who greatly enjoyed the fun,
and at length ordered the purse to be
restored to the cardinal. The thief
did not, however, come forward, and
the king discovered too late that he
had been tricked.

Jack and GIL.

Jill or Gill is an abbreviation of the
once feminine name Gillian or Juliana.
In Icelandic mythology Jack and Gill
are two children kidnapped by the moon
while drawing water, which is carried
on their shoulders in bucket suspend
ed from a pole. The Swedish peasants
still account for the moon spots in this
way. A play with the title Jack and
Gill" was popular at the English court
between 1867 and 1873. How far back
the English nursery rhyme with this
title dates is not known, though every
school child is familiar with the lines.

The American EAGLE.

Our baldheaded eagle, so called be-
cause the feathers on the top Of his
head are white, was called the Wash

uralist. Like Washington, he is brave
and fearless, and as his name and great
ness are known the world over so can
the eagle soar to heights beyond others.
The eagle was adopted as the emblem
Of the United States in 1855, since when
1t has been used on the tips OF flag
