ALLOWANCE FOR A GIRL.

Every girl even small ones
should have an allowance for their
w personal use, because it teaches
them the value of money and Incl
dentally the principle Of economy.
Even If it is only twenty-five cents
a week, a girl should have it regular
ly and should be made to understand
that when that has been spent on
either necessities or Injuries no more
will be forthcoming until the next
week and teasing and begging for ad-
ditional sums will not be considered
by either parent. Thus the only way
that there will be a chance for a small
girl or an older one to get more
money than the regular allowance is
by earning it and in this way a GER
tain amount of industry is secured.
There is no better way to train a
young girl to be economical and to
attain a normal busfness-like point
of view, than by insisting that she
keep all expenses within the limit
of her allowance. In this way a girl,
whether she is 6 or 16 years old,
will grow to understand that If she
wants a thing and hasn't enough
money to purchase it she will have
to save every penny until the sun is
large enough to pay for the article.
The giving of an allowance is a
strong moral factor in developing
character, for it undoubtedly checks
many fancies and silly whims that
would otherwise be INDUCED in and
brooded over until an e~asy-going |
mother or father would supply the
extra funds just to have the girls in
good spirits again.-The. Epitomist.

R ON SMALL FARMS.

Sneep are now the most profitable
stock a farmer can keep. A good ewe
VIII produce herself and win yield
more than enough wool to pay for hel
keep. Besides this, sheep are yaIu
able In cleaning up the rough spots
On a farm and keeping down the
weeds that horses and COWS will not
Couch. The statement is made that
OF six hundred plants common to a
section of Iowa the sheep eats five
hundred and fifty, against eighty-two
Tor the horse and ffty-six fo- cattle.
In many places the farms are said
10 be sheep hungry"-that is. they
need just this kind of grazing to keep
the foul stun down.
1t is comparatively easy to care for
sheep. There is little to do in feed
ing them, and no stable to clean. This
does not mean, however, thai they
need no care at all, but with a sheep
t1gnt pasture fence they will do we'll
with less attention than any other
farm stock.
There is "a present tendency TO un.
dertake sheep culture more generally
upon small farms. A company with
large capital has been recently Or
ganized, which will let out locks to
the New England farmers to keep on
shares, III a similar movement is
taking place in other sections of the
country.
Sheep are high in price now, and
the likelihood is that they will re-
main so, as the demand for mutton
n lamb has grown enormously with
In the past few years. The sales for
marketing purposes in Chicago for
II week recently were more than
double those of the corresponding
week of six years ago. A farmer may,
however, begin with a few breeding
ewes, and by the time his flock has
reached the size he wishes he will
be experienced in caring for them.
Ewes three years old are the best
age to purchase in starting. Younger
than that they should not be bred.
The teeth indicate their age; year
ngs have n pair Of broad front
two-year-olds, two pairs:
threeyear-olds, three pairs, and over !
hat four pairs. For strong, healthy
.ambs the ewes should be in good
physical condition when bred. The
best blooded ram possible to use is
aDne too good for building up a
lock.
Sheep do not need a warm place
at Landing time-and do well /
n a shed where they are protected
rom the wind. They should have
plenty Of room and air and good
water. Their quarters and pasture !
be dry underfoot. Glover hay
With some oats make good feed for
hem.-The Circle.

BiBstoW ON CANAL CONTRACT

Ta

struction Work According to State
rent Submitted.
Washington, Special. Proposals
opened by the canal commission for
the entire construction of the Pana-
ma canal were as low as had been ex-
pected by experts on construction
work. For some time it has been
known that several members of the
commission believed z per centum
upon the estimated cost of the con-
struction would be a fair remunera-
ton for a contract, OIL under the
form of contract prepared by the
commission.
The lowest proposal, that of Will
liam j. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tonnes
see, and Arson NJ. Bangs, OF New
York city, who offered to do the
work for 6.75 per centum of the es-
timated cost, falls even lower than
had bnnu honnd for
Granting that the estimate of
$140,000,000 for the construction of
the canal, which had been frequent
ly spoken Of in congress, is accurate,
the remuneration of the Oliver-Bangs
combination would be $9,450,OOO in
case it were to be awarded the con
tract.
William j. Oliver and Arson NJ.
have both been in the contract
ing business for many years, and the
statements they furnished with their
proposal show that they have done
much important work. Mr.. Oliver
states that he has completed $751;

years now has $31,5OO,OO0
