RANK of Sheep Industry.

Sheep and wool are the seventh lar
cest industry in the United States. The
number of sheep in the world is esti-
mated at 6OO,OO0.000; of this number
onc-third are classed merinos. The
Leicester breed of sheep was founded
in 1902 by Lord Polwarth, of Mer-
toun. The Spanish merinos were first
imported into England by George III
In 1871. 1t is said that wooden goods
were manufactured in Asia 1900 years
before the Christian era. The domes-

Don't Neglect the Stables.

Many dairymen who are inclined to
be exceedingly clearly about the sta
bles during the winter give them lit
tie care during the summer when the
cows are largely MIXED in the pasture,
a plan of milking many follow. There
are days and nights during the summer
when the cows must be housed and the
milking done in the stables, hence if
they have been neglected the milk is
surely to absorb any undesirable odor
that may exist.
We find it an excellent plan to clean
the stables thoroughly just as soon as
the COWS are tn ed out to grass, and
this thoroughness consists in washing
the walls with strong solution of car
bolic acid, then going over them thor
ughly with whitewash. In this man
ner all germs and odors are destroyed
This is by no means all, for each week
the stables are thoroughly purified, so
that there will be no possible OdOr to
spoil the milk.-EXchange.

Apple trees are dwarfed by grating
them on trees of the same general type
but of smaller stature. There are two
stocks in general use in Europe and
in this country. These are Paradise
and Doucin. Paradise produces fully
dwarfed apple tree of very small size.
The Doucin is tree of intermediate
size, and therefore, does not dwarf
the stock SO emphatically as the Para

THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHRIS.
TIAN DOCTRINE.
By Rev. Jam

By Rev. James Moorhouse.
Iext.-"We know in part and we
prophesy in part" = I. Corinthians
xiii, 8.
IL is universally acknowledged
amongst us that in the religious teach
ing of the Old Testament we can dis
Germ gradual development. God not
only spake to the fathers in the old
time, lin many parts and in many
modes, but also with a largeness of
truth and spirituality of feeling
which, on the whole, increased through
the ages until the great revelation of
the fullness of the times The law of
development unquestionably prevailed
under the old covenant Shall we then
say that it ceased to have validity
when that covenant came to a close, or
that 1t passed over as rule of the new
order at the coming of Christ? The
revelation given to us of the nature of
God and of His relation to us in Jesus
Christ, was final and complete. The
great spiritual truths of our Lords
divinity. The age will never come
when it will be less true than it is to-
day that God is our Father, that man
is our brother, that love is the law of
our life, that Christ died to save us
from our sins, and that from His
throne above He sent His Holy Spirit
to make us partakers of His holiness.
1t is necessary to advance in order
to preserve what is of eternal value
and significance in our teaching. At all
times the human mind naturally strives
to find rational relation between the

Breaking a stau kicker.

The chronic stable kicker, aside
from being a nuisance, causes much
damage and often Injuries other ami
mails. To break him of the habit, fill
grain sack half full of sand and
swing from ceiling with rope, so sack
will hang where heels or horse will
have good play upon it. Tie him firmly
in the stall with a heavy, stout rope
At the first kick the bag will SWING
away, often as high as the ceiling, IL
kicked squarely 1t will then return
and give him as good as he sent This
will lead to a general mixup between
the horse and sandbag, and the sack
of sand will hold its own, returning all
he sends, with considerable interest
He will soon find that he is up against
a losing proposition, and, learning this,
will be thoroughly cowed Leave the
sack behind him for a week or more
and then remove. If he should at any
time show any tendency to return TO
his old habit of kicking, arrange the
sack as before and the cure will be
final-Successfu Farming.

Here is very simple but sure way
to throw large or small steer. Use
rope. three-quarter inch, about 25 feet
long, is best passing one end of the
rope around the steer, and tying in q
hard knot; pass the rope back and
around the body again in front of the
hips, passing the end of the rope under
the rope, SO as to form a draw, extend

Water for Sheep.

The necessity of continual water
supply for sheep is a much controvert-
ed point, says Farm and Live Stock
Journal. We are unable to find any
definite and decisive data on the ques-
ton and think it would make Il good
topic for our experiment stations
There are many farmers who would
like to know whether the pasturing of
sheep at any or all seasons of the year
in a lot where water is not accessible
is a losing practice. We believe that
experiments would prove that it is, as
we can see no reason why they are so
different from other stock as not to re-
pay attention to their water supply

"Milner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker in the business" said
Lecocq the detective "lIe is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient f1ngers.
:" 1T took me year. he once said,
to learn the trick of picking ,combina-
tons. I studied all the locks there
we're and had three safes of different
makes to practice on. The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and 1t must be held tight against the
safe door on line with the tumblers.
When the knob of The lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach

number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.

Before gunpowder was invented MAJ
chimes were used in war to hurl great
stones into Notifications and from be-
sieged places against the besiegers,
and these machines were called cata-
pults. The little apparatus here pic

A glance at the picture shows how

the pens are stuck firmly into the

same direction, and at such a distance
apart that when the first pen is bent
strongly backward the end which goes
into the penholder will nearly but not
quite touch the eye, or hole, of the

To find way to play baseball at
home has long been the ambition of
every patriotic American boy.
Any boy who can shoot marble
can play indoor baseball. The field"
should be a bed or large table, with
pillows or pile of books or boxes for
a back stop" An old sheet with a
diagram of the diamond in chalk or
ink should be spread upon bed / or
table, the diamond at one end and the
outfeld at the other, as on real
grounds. The bases should be two
feet apart, marked by round spots the
size of a silver quarter, and the pitch
ers box should be a foot from the
home plate, the latter being postage
stamp. The pitchers and batsman's
boxes should be marked as we'll as the
foul lines.
The players are spools-just ordin-
ary sewing silk or thread spools- and
they are all selected for their ability
to roll straight, says the New York
Herald. The name of each player is
written on slip of paper pasted on
his head. The mines secured, the ball
and bat. are all that remain to be
found. The former is a marble of
medium size. The latter is round
lead pencil, not sharpened. The team

customed positions sas in the actual
