You are mconsciously writing a

history YOU cannot wipe out at will,

your affections, your inspirations

indclibly on your nervous system.
They cut channels of habit. They

THE SHEPHERD

The successful shepherd Is the one
that carefully cares for the little
things in every department.
Boracic acid and water cures sleeps
sore eyes.
Sheep should be kept in comfortable
quarters at night during the winter.
The success with the early lambs de-
pends upon the capacity of the mothers
to supply milk. To insure this they
must be fed on the proper variety of
food,
Experiment has shown that there Is
little or no profit in shearing sheep
during the fattening period, says the
American Sheep Breeder.
1t is all right to keep the barn rea-
sonably warm, but ventilation must
not be forgotten.
No matter how good the breed, poor
care and management will ruin it.
Never feed coarse timothy hay to
sheep. Remove any hay or stubs that
may be left in the racks before giving
fresh supply.
Every time you go to the sheep pas
ture, and ! would make it point to go
often, count the sheep and take them a
bit of salt, says a writer in the Farm
Journal. | do not like to get my salt
from the ground Sheep do not either.
Put it in long troughs. Do it every day
or two.
When you go to catch sheep never
grab it by the wool. You would not
like some one to take you by the hair
of the head and pull you ''up standing"
all Of sudden, would you? The sheep
doesn't like it either.
Sometimes sheep get so fearful of
dogs that they will start up and run
the moment q man or other object
comes among them. No flock of sheep
that Is as worried as this ever can do
well. The very thought of being chased
takes away from their usefulness, and
sooner or later it will ruin the fold.
For lamb feeding a mixture Of three
parts of corn, two parts Of bran and
one part of oilmeal is we'll adapted
where the principal forage is clover
hay and where straw Is used as rel
ish and not for bedding. But if COM
PEELED to use corn fodder or meadow
hay as a principal forage the proper
tion Of oilmeal should be doubled.
If the lambs are wintered on an ex-
elusive ration of fodder and hay and
roots to make some growth the gain
will be so little, as the proportion Of
food used for mere existence is so
great, that the gain made will not pay
Tor the trouble, interest and risk.
Don't overcrowd. Such q condition
breeds disease.
Don't forget that culling counts as
nuch as feeding.

Whatever may be the ethical
aspects of the cattle transpOrta-
ton question, there is no doubt
whatever that the new law is be-
ing so administered by the De-
partment of Agriculture that the
railroads will be forced to obey
it in the end and the cattle sent
to market will be much.better off
than they have been for many
years past. The fight against
the inhuman treatment of cattle
on the railroads has been waged
by the Humane Society for many
years and it was only after the
Society brought pressure to bear
on the Secretary of Agriculture
that the old '28-hour" law was
really enforced. This led to the
fight in Congress last winter
when the old law, after bitter
opposition on the part of the HUI
name Society, was extended to
SO hours, meaning that live stock
could be transported that long on
the cars without food, rest or
drink. Still the railroads would
not obey that law; and now the
department has gone after them
bare handed, getting convictions
against them at the rate of tWen-
ty a day and eXacting the maxi
mum penalty of $500 in each case.
There have been 400 cases sent
to the Department of Justice al
ready and out of these only four
have been lost. The railroads
are not paying any attention to
the fines yet, but $4,000 a day
assessed against them will have
it's effect in time. Then you will
hear a noise like an empty pock-
etbook, and the law is likely to
be obeyed. 1t is not a perfect
law yet, but it's enforcement will
be something.

l have after some sad experiences
feeding what are commonly called
range cattle found that the proper time
to dehorn them is not when they are
first turned into the feed lot, but after
they have got on full feed and feel at
home, as it were, in the feed lot, writes
a Texas breeder in Breeders Gazette,
Chicago. l have dehorned cattle in the
morning when they had been on full
feed, and at feeding time in the after
noon all of them would walk up to the
troughs and eat full rations, and very
few would show any shrinkage at all
When | dehorned at the time Of turn
ing them into the feed lot they would
not take to the feed for thirty or forty
days. They were scared when one
went about them. l think cattle should
be dehorned as soon as possible after
getting them on full feed

An IDEA FOR A CARD GAME.

at is curious. what original ideas
people sometimes have in cOnnec-
tiOn with the subjects that they
know absolutely nothing about" re-
marked lawyer. 81 was irving to
teach friend bridge the other day.

cards but seven up. When | tried
to explaih TO him that one trump
suit was better than another | sup
pose | did not express myself very
clearly, because he asked me after

on, and when | told him no he
wanted to know if there was any
game of cards in which all the suits
were trump5 at the same time, so
that if you had none of one suit You
could trump the trick with card
of the suit which was next in rank
above the suit led. Well, | spent Il
whole evening looking through my

LIVE STOCK NOTES.
Hints That the Progressive Breeder
May Find of Value.


Old sows should not be kept over un.
less there Is a good chance of getting a
good litter of pigs. They are usually
good breeders until up to five or six
years old.
Ground oats are undoubtedly more
economical feed for colts than whole
ones, but II is more economical tn feed
sound sweet whole oats than most Of
the ground oats that are offered in the
market.
In feeding young stock it is more
essential to best results that balanced
ratiOns be fed than when feeding ma
ture animals. In all kinds of feeding
the balanced ration is the one most
likely to insure the best results.
Rye is u good food for hogs if fed in
moderation and not fed exclusively,
says Farm Journal. 1t must be dOled
out cautiously to pregnant sOws, as it
is liable to be infested with ergot.
Be sure that the calves are comfort
able and steadily growing every day.
There is no profit in runts.
Get the calves to eating grain at as
early an age us possible for greatest
gains.
In Texas molasses is used as part
of the feed for steers during the last
feeding period.
If young cattle are fed for early mar
ket it is essential that they be well
bred-first. because they must fatten
while growing, and, second, they must
have the quality and conformation to
make them suitable to the buyers for
the best trade.-Farmers Advocate.
Wind that comes sitting through
cracks is the coolest wind in all the
world Cattle know it too. Keep it out
Of your barns by clinking the cracks
with good tight battens.
As hogs increase in size the amount
Of food required for the maintenance
of the body becomes greater and the
gains are naturally smaller; hence a
larger amount of grain and milk must
be fed according to increasing weight
and advancing age. The gains made In
sixty days by the hogs in one Of our
experiments were as large as those
made in seventy-seven days by the
hogs in another and In some cases
larger.-Professor A. NJ. SOule, Ten
nessee Experiment Station.

A sequel to Emperor Williams
journey to Munich last fall appears
in the form Of a curious libel suit.
His majesty stopped at a wayside
station to get shaved, and a local
Socialist newspaper stated that the
members of an association of mill
tary veterans stormed the barber
shop to obtain the Iather scraped
from the royal face, adding that the
delectable mess was distributed
among them while a band played
the national anthem. The veterans
did not like this story and sued the
paper for libelous insult. The trial,
which has just taken place, convuls-
ed everybody, including the judges,
with laughter, but the court decided
that the editor must pay a fine for
overstepping the bounds of fair
comment.

According to a recent estimate of
the secretary of the public health
committee, London annually con-
sumes nearly 100000 tons of food
stutfs. OF this amount rather more
than two-thirds arrives by water
and less than one-third by rail. The
shipments include 100000 tons of
meat, fish and milk, butter, eggs,
lard, etc.; 100000 tons of fruit and
vegetables, including sugar and pre-
served fruits, and 100000 tons Of
grain and flour. 1t is pointed out
in the committees report that the
system of inspection is inefficient
and that oleOmargarine is largely
sold as butter.

son present, and each player must
then justify his reply or, failing
this, must pay forfeit.
For instance, the one who said
the object was like a monkey when
told the name of boy present as

81 said Bobby was like a monkey
because he is fond Of nuts" The

Here is a puzzle which you may
try to see what you can do with 4:
Tie a string about yard long to a
door key and take the string in the
right hand. Hold it SO the key will
clear the floor four or five inches,
If you will hold the string steady
enough, it will begin to swing back
and forth in straight line. Let
another person take your left hand
in his, and the motion of the KEY
will change from the pendulum-like
swing to circular swing. If third
person will place his hand on the
shoulder of the second person, the
key will stop. Just try the above
and then solve the puzzle.

In France NJ. Hardy has invented
an application of the microphone 10
detect fire damp in mines. This is
its principle; If sound waves from
two pipes of equal pitch impinge on
microphoncs connected in series with
a telephone, a clear note is heard,
but, if one of the pipes emits a
slightly different note, beats will be
heard in tie telephone. Here is the
application: One pipe is placed in
the mine, the other above ground,
and they are blown simultaneously
If the air in the mine is charged
with fire damp, it will produce a
different note from that produced
by clear air owing to the difference
of density, and in consequence Sc
ries of beats in the telephone gives
warning of the presence of fire
damp. The same apparatus is very
sensitive to the presence of coal gas.

The whistler, oddly enough, is
English, though the name has been

Among all the noises you hear in

noisy, you will seldom hear IA whis-
tie, though it sent us the first great

tie is insistent. 1t is not only the
cab whistle, two for hanson, one
