For Profit They Must Be Kept Nov
ing Rapidly Along.
First decide upon what you wish to
raise, early or late lambs. Have an OBJ
ject in view, and work to attain that
object. The early lamb will cost you
more intelligent labor and feed than
the late lamb, but If environments are
favorable and you have a good market
for early lambs you will find them the
most profitable Now, If you have de-
cided in favor of the early lamb, first
of Importance is the selection Of ewes
which will breed early and are good
mixers, as an abundance of milk is
essential in the production of choice
lambs. Get a pure bred ram Of an
early maturing mutton breed. At
lambing time, especially in cold wealth
er, close attention is very necessary.
See that each lamb is on its feet and
partaking of a square meal before it
becomes chilled.
Feeding the Eve.
For profit the early lambs must move
along rapidly from birth to market

her the lamb gets the important part
of his feed. Feed the eve generously

Just what the lamb needs to make mus
cle nerve and blood, to grow his frame
and build up his young tissue. Feed
in fat bottom troughs, as lambs are apt
to bolt their food If fed from V shaped
troughs. The eve should be fed light
grain ration the first day or two after
lambing, then increase the ration until
you reach as large a quantity as the
eve will consume, the object being to
force this animal for milk production

heat for about q week before using,

The pit for the hotbed may be one to

1t is the practice of some gardeners
to make the bed entirely above ground.
In that case the frame should be at ev-

Schwab, the steel magnate, in a recent
address. I'm the most untoward con-

"A mother, fearing that her pretty
daughter had b%ethrothed herself t a
young man of inferior station, hired
her little son, a boy Of { or 8, to stay
In the parlor throughout an expected

The boy carried out his contract
duly, and at 10 o'clock, tired and
sleepy, he came to his mother and
asked for his pay.

The great railway scheme for uniting

being urged, and In view OF the vast de-

As to whether such a system, pro,

Eccentric German Lives In Feudal
style and Raids NcighbOrs.
The well-known German anti-Semite,
Count P%ueckler, was heavily fined by
the court at Glogan recently, In conse-
quence Of one OF the eccentricities
which have gained for him the title Of
the modern Don Quixote, says the Lon
don Express.
Count Pueckler maintains q corps OF
mounted dependents, with whom,
when not frightening Jews from his
own estate, he frequently makes expe-
ditions into neighboring properties.
On one OF these excursions the count
and his retainers CHANGED upon a farm
yard, where thrashing was In progress
under the supervision OF the steward
Of the estate. On seeing smoke rising
from the machine the count, who abb
hors modern Inventions, dispatched a
patrol, who so terrified the farm hands
that they sought refuge under the
thrashing machine. The steward or
dered the patrol away, whereupon the
valiant count himself rode his horse at
the steward and forced him also to seek
safety behind the machine.
On another occasion the patrol re-
ported a number Of women working in
a potato field, whereupon the count led
his cavalry to the attack, and waving
his whip. forced the enemy to e any
means Of shelter.
The count explained in court that
the whole affair was a harmless joke
and that the country people understood
his ways.
"But / absolutely cannot comprehend
the present things" he added, "for nat
ural man Is no longer understood. We
live In a period Of degeneration and
decadence."
The judge said he had doubts as to
whether the count was In his right
mind, but considered him responsible
for his actions.

Eight million persons In the United
States have on deposit in savings banks
three thousand million dollars. Six
per cent of all this money Is In the
banks Of the city of Cleveland, says IL.
8. Beardsley in Leslie's Weekly. Al
though Cleveland's population Is only
one-half of / per cent Of the population
OF the whole country, the metropolis Of
Ohio holds In savings $1S5, 100000, or
more than 6 per cent of the country's
total savings bank deposits. In the pro-

people, the largest city of. the Buckeye
State far surpasses any other American
or foreign community. Cleveland Is the

Not long ago a deposit came to a
Cleveland savings institution all the
way around the world from Bangkok,
Siam. Another came from Shanghai,
China. Hundreds of them have come
from the Philippines. Money for saw
ings has been sent to Cleveland from
every country of Central America and
half Of those Of South America. Cuba,
Porto Rico and Hawaii have contrib
uted. England, France, Germany, Italy
AID Spain have all sent money to be
kept in the savings banks Of Cleveland,
Ohio. Accounts have come to these
banks from two OF the countries Of Al
RIGA. Every State in the Union and
four Of the provinces Of Canada have
persons who are depositors In the
Cleveland savings banks.
You will ask two questions: "How
does it happen that these deposits from
all parts Of the globe are attracted par
ticularly to Cleveland?s And the other
question Is: why does Cleveland hold
such q large percentage, pr~oportionate-
", Of the savings bank deposits OF the
United State?

his tale, and, indeed. it is strongly
supported by the evidence.

Of Geldargo, capstzed ina terrific hur-
