THE SHEEP BARN.

In building a suitable pen, as in
other successful farm operations, no
tee should be taken of the prefer
ence of sheep for resting on dry
roads as compared with grassy plots.
This Characteristic demonstrates that
tire building site of a sheep barn
cannot be too high and dry for the
best comfort of the stock. for if there
is one thing more than another that
sheep do not like it is dampness; and
to insure perfect dryness in pen it
must be well lighted.
Another Characteristic of sheep TO
remember when building house is
that they require a lot of exercise
during their whole lives. Notice how
well lambs grow on the roadside,
where they have to follow the dams
over considerable distances. Espec-
tally do pregnant ewes require exer-
else. These are points to bear in
m'nd in selecting a site for build
ing.
The house itself can then be built
of the desired material, but wood
en- walls are to be preferred. The
pace must not be made too warm
and must be well ventilated. else the
sheen will show their disapproval OF
arrangements By sleeping out in the
yards. The feed racks NAV vary. ac-
cording to the variety of stock kept
With the short-wcoled sheep the side
of the rack from which the sheep
feed should be perpendicular, to pre-
vent the chaff getting into the wood.
Beneath this rack there should be a
trough for feeding grain and roots
Mangels should never be fed to preg-
nant ewes, and never more than two
pounds Of turnirs per day to the
smaller breeds. nor four or five TO
the larger breeds. gradually accustom-
ing them to this amount.
ALWAYS lock we'll tn the wafer sup
by. in order to prevent the sheep ae-
curing an appetite for snow. Clean
the pen out frequently. If roots and
other succulent foods are fed.

is Of similar disposition, prone
to give way to tears on the slightes

THE SUCCESSFUL pATsYMAN.

THE SUCCESSFUL DAI9YMAN-
1t is common expression about
newspaper Offices that so and SO has
a good nose for news" This means
TO imply that he is good at smelling
out news item OF course, he does
not use his smelling qualities. The
nose to a man is, generally speaking,
only nuisance, for his soul is gener-
ally dead to agreeable odors, and It
Is only when he catches a vile smell
that he knows that he has a uose-
With womenfolks it is different They
are fond Of using their smelling quail
ties, both with artificial odors and
those of nature where flowers possess
perfumes Now, to get down to bush
ness, there is no one so dependent
uron the sense of smell as the butter
maker. To be good at his work he
must have finely cultivated nose.
He needs it to detect the prestige OF
:iecaying things about the dairy house
and stable, that is those finer shades
Of bad odors like nustiness and sour
ness.
Then. on the other hand, he needs
a fine nose to catch the odor Of the
butter as it comes from the churn or
butter worker. This is part OF the
fine art of butter making. He must
also use his sense of taste to fit his
goods for his peculiar market. Salt
inc, for instance, is seldom the same
for two different markets. Sight al
so cuts figure in the proper accom-
plishments of the buttermaker. He
must know the correct shade o. yell
low if he colors his butter, and he must
watch closely the grain of the butter
for commission men are very close oh
servers of grain, for this indicates
the keeping quality. A smooth. lardy,
grainless butter soon goes off in flavor
while a bright, broken-steel gilt
ter'ng grain indicates good workman
ship and makes good keeper.
It is easily seen how important 1t
is that the butter-maker should have
these senses highly developed and
well trained To do this, he must
not first injure them by excessive use
of tobacco. eating onions, or other
strong smelling articles that affect the
health. He must also cultivate sight,
smell and taste by using them as Of
ten ard frequently as opportunity Of
fers. For this reason he should go
far out of his way to get an opportun-
fly to test fine samples of butter. Get
other peoples ideas about these
things, and especially learn what the
f1avors and looks are OF samples ap-
proved by the commission men. for
after all, they are your men to please,
without regard to what your individ-
ual preferences may be.
When you first come into the milk
room or factory in the morning out
Of the fresh air. your nose is in its
finest condition for detecting slightly
Objectionable odors, and that is the
time to go nosinfi around to find
those things and make note of them.
The great trouble with keeping out
bad smells is the ease with which
your nose can get accustomed to any
prevailing bad smell and actually not
Knowing its presence.-Home and

Don'ts on Names.


Don't name a baby after q hero

Don't hammer q boy with a name

Don't name q girl after a flower.
Think of an old woman called "Pansy"

Don't name a girl Violet, when her

Don't tack a fancy name on a kid.

LATE POTATO BLIGHT.

The present rainy days, which are
general throughout the country,
should make potato growers alive TO
a possible late blight. The remedy
is the old reliable Bordeaux mixture
using the ALSO or the $3.50 formula,
and making the applications at inter
walls of ten days during the remand
er of the growing season. While
this late trouble generally occurs In
wet WEATHER. it also occurs in dry
weather, during this month, and as
the application of the remedy can do
no possible harm. 1t is best to be on
the safe side and use it. -Indianap-

Clubs are just as much a success In

twenty-five members, which covers a

member is not always present, we
keep up as good an average as in any
own club. We have splendid meet
ngs and a social hour afterward, with
refreshments. Once a year we hold a
adde's reception, at which we have
two or three guests according to the
size Of the home In which we enter
rain. During the holidays we enter
tain our husbands and sweethcarts
with a play or contest, followed by a
substantial supper. This club contin-
ues to grow in interest and If for my

Winter Is when the farmer has most

evenings may be spent with some
neighbor when they can play games

unto himself. Whenever he ceases to
associate with others he quits growing
