FEEDING LAMBS.

The Sheep Breeder says that no
young animal makes so large and prof
table growth as the lamb under skill
full feeding, that no other young ami
NAL begins to feed probably SO early
as the lamb does. 1t is an exceedingly
apt and enterprising feeder and it's very
inQuisitive disposition enables it to
find the food placed for it in some safe
and convenient pen, and appropriate
it proftably. All it needs is a rail or
board pen open at the bottom sutfi-
GENTLY for it to crawl under, set in
the pasture, with a V-shaped trough
in which a little meal is scattered in
it. The ewes cannot enter, but through
their native instinct they will try to,
and will thus encourage the lambs to
go in, and finding the meal they will
nibble it, and so learning the way they
will eat little at time several times
day, the appetite increasing rapidly
with their growth. In this way the
lambs can be made to make more
growth and profit for the feeder than
any other method; and as newly
weaned lambs fetch the highest price
in the market, this method of dispos'
ing of lambs is to be encouraged.

BLOOD AS A POULTRY FOOD.

The best way to feed blood is t,
take two pounds of corn meal and one
pound of middlings. Mix well and
add as much blood as will make the
mixture a thick mass, then put into a
bag and cook; or, if preferred, the
blood may be mixed with the corn
meal and be given raw; but it is not
advisable to feed it raw, as its use
may lead to vices in the flock. Fresh
blood is bright red, and is fresh if no
disagreeable odor comes from it. 1t al
ways coagulates quickly, but coagula-
ton does not mean that the blood is
not fresh. Dry blood is evaporated in
establishments prepared with appli-
ances for SO doing, usually the blood
being steamed and then dried with hot
air If fed to excess it may cause
slight bowel disease. A pound of blood
to twenty hens day is sufficient. 1t
is better for poultry that are laying
than for those that are unproductive.
Bran and middlings are better than
corn because they contain more min
eral matter in their composition. The
point in feeding is to so give the food
that the hens will have enough but
not too much. If too little is given it
will be indicated by the constant work.

NEW FANCIES.

Fur hats have never been so popular
with women of all ages, except the
very young girl. Big tricornes, or
toques, are the most popular as to
shape, and trimming consists in the
simplest sort of treatment with mara
bout feathers, or stiff gandenias in
shaded colors.
Chinchilla and sable are especially
beautiful trimmed with flowers. shaded
from pink down into the deepest reds.
Exquisite rose-strewn organizes are
in evidence for girlish evening frocks
In some the roses are nothing but tiny
prim buds in others great nodding
heads.
Corset covers, made entirely of row
after row of lace insertion, are side by
side with plain little covers to wear
as slips to them.
China silk, embroidered with shirt
waist designs in wash silk, makes very
pretty blouses, which are more SER

CHOOSE BRIGHT SIDE.

She was Lightweight her last birth
day. AS she sat by the window, her
dim eyes looking off to where the sun
set made the sky red above the house
tops, she was picture of peace and
content
Her comfortable cherry chair was a
birthday present, and she spoke of it
gratefully So was the chart hanging
on the wall beside her, lettered in big
plain type with a CHEEKY message for
each day. She spoke of that, too, and
smiled says the Boston Traveller.
She said that great many nice
things had happened to her. Two or
three friends had been III to read to
her. Some one had brought her
great bunch of chrysanthemums. She
pointed to them, on the table. On her
birthday her daughter and grand
daughters had come to dine with her.
The daughter with whom she lived
was so good to her. she said, caring
for her with untiring patience and
thoughtfulness.
1t was true she had not been able
to get downstairs for 4 year, and
perhaps never would again. True,
also, that her sight was falling and her
dearly loved occupations of reading
and sewing no longer possible. She
must sit all day with idle hands and
almost useless eyes. True, too, that
even while she talked to her visitors
she was in real pain from rheumatism
and ailments incident to her age.
Yet Of these things she scarcely
spoke at all, except in answer to ques-
tons.
NO" she said, a little sadly, II
haven't been out for two years"
Then she frightened up $50 you
see," she laughed, 81 don't have to
think about getting new clothes"
Instead of mournfully expatiating
on her loneliness when no one came to
see her, she dwelt with sunny graft
tude on the pleasure it gave her to have
people come.
Dear old lady, she is so different
from most of us.
Who else would have missed such
shining chance to moan over aches
and pains? With far less reason, how
many of us would have spent the time
bewailing our privations.
She spoke so gratefully of the long,
happy years that were past. She re-
membered them with pleasure. But
how many, many remember that their
bright past only for the sake of con-
trasting it dismally with the present.
1t is disposition, not years, that
makes old age disagreeable and I'M
lovely.
The old lady who sat in her chair,
with her peaceful face smiling toward
the sunset, was more attractive than
the hundreds of peevish, fretful, COM
planning and disconnected younger wo-
men one sees every day-not because
she had more, but because she ignored
the dark things and chose rather to
dwell on the bright side.

SELF-ESTEEM

Every self-respecting woman holds
herself in proper esteem and believes
that she is an independent entity. with
rights and privileges which others
are bound to recognize. She conducts
herself as if she were a force and
factor in life and occupies a prominent
place in the world. This self-respect
is essential to the success of all. 1t is
only when carried to the extent of
making one unduly conceited that it
should be frowned upon. We like to
see a self-respecting man or woman
going through life as if every action
was ordered by a clear, intelligent
mind of some particular purpose. If
the person did not show this power of
self-importance and assurance nobody
else would show respect or esteem.-

TRIM WALKING SKIRTS.

When all is said and done, America
is the home of the walking skirt. In
London the short skirt is relocated to
sports and business. For all social
occasions trailing skirts are still the
go. In Hyde Park on Sunday in the
famous church parade one sees only
long, trailing gowns, held up in de-
fiance of that law of good dressing
which demands for every garment the
right to hang in its natural folds.
French women leave short skirts to
shop girls and all kinds of "hands."
Berlin leaders of society are only just
awakening to the dangers inherent i'll
the long skirt, but they will wear
trains just the same. Abroad the
American girl can be picked out wher-
ever she goes by her trim, well cut,
smart, short skirt.

there were watches shaped like

MISTAKES OF WOMEN.

One of the mistakes of women is not
knowing how to eat If man is not
TO be fed when she is, she thinks cup
of tea and anything handy is good
enough. If she needs to save money
she does it at the butchers cost II
she is busy she will not waste time in
eating. If she is unhappy she goes
without food. A man eats if the sher-
iff is at the door, if his work drives, If
the undertaken interrupts; and he is
right. A woman will choose ice-cream
instead CT a beefsteak, and man will
not.
Another of her mistakes is not know
ing when to rest. If she is tired she
may sit down, but she will darn stock
ipgs. crochet shawls, embroider doll
les. Does she not know that hard
work tires? If she is exhausted she
will write letters or figure her ac-
counts. She will laugh at you If you
hint that reading or writing could fail
To rest her. All over the country WON
ems hospitals flourish because women
don't know how to rest.
Another mistake on the list is theii
constant worrying. Worry and hurry
are their enemies, and yet they hug
them to their bosoms. Women cross
bridges before they come to them
and even build bridges to cross. They
imagine misfortune and run out IL
meet it.
Women are not jolly enough. They
make too serious business of life, ant

Paris, April 3-The Morocco incident is daily making a deeper impression and while calmness continues to pre- vail there is a growing sense Of the rudeness of the show which Emperor Williams visit to Tangier and his dec larations give to French policy. How ever. for the present 1t is evident that the purpose is to adopt a passive at titude and await the development of events. This was shown by a confer ence at the Foreign Office today be- tween Foreign Minister Delcasse and several deputies who wished to ques- tion hi min the Chamber concerning Morocco
