Early lambs are the most profitable
but the farmer who expects to make
anything out of them can not 20 to bed
and sleep all the time. He must bt
up and doing till the lambs are fairly or
their pins.
To begin with, the eve must be kept
every night In . warm place. Through
the day she should have the watchful
attention of the shepherd, SO that she
can be taken into the stable on short
notice. The lamb that is thoroughly
chilled is just about rs good a. dead
lamb.
But II one should happen to get chill

ped It into hot water, as warm as you
can bear to put your hand In. Then
take it out and rub 1t for dear life till
the blood Is we'll circulating. If this
does not avail, make up your mind that
you are out one lamb, and pass resolu.
tions that you will be more wstchful
thereafter.
Give the sheep and her young ones q
good dry corner in the barn. Sec to II
that she has plenty of good nourishinG
food. More often than We are aware Of,
the eve has too little milk for the lamb
at first, especially If It is her first lamb.
If sheep does not own her lamb at
first, it may be that you can get her to
do It by backing her into corner and
letting the lamb suck few times.
say ''maybs" you can; and maybe you
can not. Few Of Us have the patience
or the ability to overcome the sleeps
ideas along this line.
1t does not take long for the lamb to
get under way. Its big, clumsy legs are
quick to get strength into them. After
1t is three OF four days old, 1t will en-
dure about as much as its mother.

Favorable to Holstelns.

In recent issue Of the New England
Farmer l read an extract from the
Maine Farmer by n. F. Ames in which
he referred, I think, to an article l
wrote of a 3.year-old Holstein giving
over 40 pounds of milk on q light grain
ration. would like to explain. This
was a pure-bred Holstein; her udder
was caked quite badly the first time I
set her milk, so fed her but lightly.
After that she was all right and ! began
to feed her better. l sold her with
three others to a Massachusetts, party.
At that time I was feeding her two
quarts bran, two quarts ground oats, one
quart corn meal and one quart cotton.
seed meal night and morning. She was
giving 4S pounds of milk per day that
would produce five inches of cream.

Give the Boy a Lamb.

Nothing among the domestic animals
is of more interest to . boy or girl on
farm where flock of sheep is kept than
lamb. The present of lamb to be
brought up, preferably as cosset, fed
and cared for by girl or boy In the
formative period Of their young life will
do more to cultivate an attachment for
home and Above of country life than all
training that ever went out from an "old
red schoolhouse." Kept with the calves
in the pen or In the nearby pasture
tho lamb will chum with them and
never willingly break company with its
first companions. We never shall out
grow the memory of feeding and caring
for the first oosset lamb.-Maine

Falling Into Hole In Air.

One Of the strange experiences OF
balloonlst is that of falling into "a hole
I'm the air." which Mr.. Rolker reports
as follows: 80 you continue sailing,

of the startling surprises that may DO
before you Ahead OF you. unseen. may

until the mist had blown clear and the
Quivering monsters were again recalled
for dash. Then 1t was plain that
Sankey's instinct was right. They
were gaining.
Again they went In, lifting very
avalanche over the stacks, packing the
banks Of the cut with walls hard as

raced in frenzy, and into the shrek

Relative to the Legal Standard

for milk, I think any standard Is absurd.
Why not have q standard for protein In
wheat or nicotine in tobacco? Let the
penalty for adulterating milk be as
heavy as anyone wishes, for watered
milk can be traced to its origin. How
ever, If we must have standard let 1t
be low enough so no one who furnishes
pure milk will get into trouble and let 1t
be the same the year around. II COW
gives richer milk after milking three or
four months as most COWS do, I believe
we would have to have them all come
fresh in the summer 80 they will give
milk up to the standard In the winter.
We could either do this or keep Jerseys
and sell milk at Q 3-4 to 8 cents quart
which would ruin millionaire.-C. e.

Tame Geese Brought Back Wild Ones.

The Shakers In Alfred kept large
flock of geese in the pond at the foot OF
the hill and on the shore they built a
house with an opening In the water so
that tho geese could swim inside, and q
door arranged to drop down so that
they could not get out. Every night the
geese would come into the house and In
the morning they would be liberated and
allowed to swim around the pond In
search of food.
One day In the fall large flock OF
wild geese alighted in the pond and
mingled with the flock of tame geese.
Toward night both flocks arose and flew
away and that was the last the Shakers
saw of their flock of geese that fall.
Now for the strange part of the story.
The next spring flock of geese alighted
in this pond and at once started for the
house on the shore and all swan inside.
when some one of the Shakers saw them,
ran down and closed the door, and 10
and behold, he had not only every one
of their geese that few away the fall be-
fore, but large flock of wild ones be-
