An Obseryant Horse.

Another champion of the reasoning
power of animals has come forward
with a special instance. A retired
farmer living in Kansas City says that
he once had a farm horse that un-
doubtedly possessed reasoning facul-
ties. This horse" he says, was once
injured by barbed wire, and he had
a wholesome dread of barbwire ever
after. He could not be induced to
step across a wire lying on the ground.
One day, when this horse was grazing
in the pasture, started with another
team to water them at a pond. To
reach this pond | went through a gate
into a field, going out on the other
side by crossing the fence wires low
cred to the ground and fastened. The
horse in the pasture, seeing that l
was driving the team to water, fol-
lowed until he came to the place
where | crossed the wires. He re-
fused to do it and went back and
around the field The next day he
followed the team again going to wa
ter, having forgotten about the wires
that lay in the way. While down in a
hollow out of sight of the fence in
either direction the cogitative horse
suddenly remembered that those wires
we're probably lying in the same posi-
tion they were the day before. Toss
ing up his head with disgruntled
snort, he turned and trudged back
around the field. That was a case of
reason. From cold facts and PROPOSE
tion retained in his memory and not
excited by any new perceptions, he
refectively reasoned out that he'd
have to make detour sooner or later,
and he might as well start now

Lock Of Hair in Dickens Watch.

Mr.. E. S. Williamson of the Crown
Lands Department, president of the
Dickens Fellowship, has discovered
another interesting relic of the great
author, and one which curiously
enough he has been carrying around
for q few years without knowing it,
He has been the possessor since
1901 of the first gold watch carried
by Dickens, which was brought to this
country by Francis Jeffrey Dickens,
the third son of the author, who came
to Canada shortly after his fathers
death and became inspector in the
Northwest mounted police. His father
gave him the watch as a keepsake.
Recently Mr.. Williamson sent the
timepiece to local jeweller to be
cleaned and the latter discovered in
the back case a secret recess. In this
was a lock of dark hair, a mans evil
IDENTIFY, tied with thread. Whose is it.?
That is the question Mr.. Williamson
and others interested would like to
solve.
Mr.. Williamson thinks it may have
been cut from the novelist's own head
and placed in his watch when he was
giving it to his son.-Toronto Globe.

The Pin's EarIv Life.

At one of the Canadian institutes
speaker, who had as his topic Swine
Breeding and Feeding" said, among
other things, that when PIGS are far
rowed a common weight is three
pounds (although we quite frequently
have them weigh four; litter of ten
pigs will then weigh thirty POUNDS,
and when they are four weeks old, II
they have been well nursed. they
will weigh eighteen pounds each,
making a gain of $50 pounds in %
days, or the SOW producing an aver
age of five and half pounds per day.
So that you see the sow should be a
milker and be fed with an eye TO
milk production. The young pigs
will sometimes commence TO eat at
two weeks old, but usually about four.
If you have only a limited supply OF
milk to feed them. it is good plan
to set a shallow trough where the
SOW can't get at it. and the young
pigs can, and feed them milk, or they
will do very well on scalded shorts
mixed with thin slop; they will in
this way gradually learn to be self

Practical Poultry Points.

II you should meet with the misfor-
tune of having the combs frozen, use
upon the frostbitten part the follow
ing preparation: Sweet oil, one tea
spoonful; turpentine, one teaspoon
full
1t is very necessary that the hens
should be supplied with grit, as this
is really their teeth. Throw gravel,
oyster shells and old broken white
dishes where they can get it.
Pure water should be available at
all times; cold water in summer and
warm water in winter. Do not neg
lect this. A large percentage of the
egg is composed of liquid.
Give a supply Of green food daily
cabbage, pulped turnips, apples, beets
and lettuce. Table scraps or all
kinds can be used TO advantage when
they are not too salty. Avoid using
pepper or peppers except on a very
cold day.
Egg breaking is sometimes caused
by the lack Of oyster shell.
If you have not used this you do
not know its value. The last egg Of
summer is good, but the first egg of
winter sounds more to the point. Al

unthrifty Calves.

A reader, Fredericton, Ohio:
Please advise me what to do for my
calves. | do not consider them sick,
but they are not doing well. When
bought them last Octover they were
very thin in flesh and had been run
ming on very short pasture. From
October till December they had fair
pasture and since then have been fed
clover and timothy hay, mixed, once
day, and nice, bright corn fodder once
a day, also one and half pecks OF
nubbins, given at two feeds each
day. They are salted once a week,
have access to good water and are
warmly housed at night They have
access to a wheat straw stack, but
never see them eating it. Their
droppings seem normal, but they are
not thriving. The backbone of one
of them is almost sharp enough to
hurt the hand when rubbing it. The
hide is not tight to the backbone, as
| have noticed would sometimes be
the case when cattle were not doing

they be better feed for them than
the corn? If so, how much should
feed?
Your feed under ordinary conditions
would keep them thriving fairly well,
yet, with the exception of the clover
they get in the hay, none of your
foods are suitable for the best grow
ing of calves. Yes, | would, by all
means, change the corn nubbin feed
ing to oats and bran. and also get
some linseed oil meal. These calves
were thin, as you say, in October,
hence were not in condition to start
in on foods that were not exactly bal
anced, like corn fodder and corn
nubbins, which are never very good
calf foods. The quantity of the grain
you should feed depends largely upon
the calf ! think very good rule
would he TO mix oats and wheat bran
equally by measure. then TO every
hundred pounds of the mixture add
ten pounds of the linseed oil meal.
Start in with this on a pint to each
calf twice day. When they eat it
well increase until YOU are feeding
two quarts twice day to each calf.
This. of course, should be varied as
the individuality of the calf would
seem to require. If one is dainty,
care should be used in not overfeed-
ing it, vet with this class of grain
food there is little danger of ones
feeding too much after they get
used to it. You will get value re-
ceived in growth, provided they are
not scrub bred calves. In short, good
feed TO good, well bred calves means
value received good food to scrubs

Latest Esa.Layina Contest.
