SPECIALIZING IN STOCK.
Farmers Should Follow Lines In Which
They VIII Have Beat Success.

This is fast becoming an age Of spe-
cializing. The farm Of a few years ago
was supposed to produce about all
that was consumed. A great many
things were made then, too, that are
bought now. The change has been
coming on gradually, but now the dis.
position is general to let the man who
is better fitted for doing or producing
one thing follow his line, while we
may follow another line, and the ex-
change is made through the regular
channels of trade.
The stockmen are taking up spe-
cializing to wonderful extent. A very
few years ago the stockman had a
few of all classes Of stock. and each
class represented some of all ages.
To-day, we find more and more Of the
special herds. The cattleman sticks
to q certain line, and il he raises for
the market he likes to have the bunch
all of an age and size. 1t Is the same
with every other line Of livestock.
After all that has been said Of having
a few Of all kinds, then you will be
sure of having some of the right kind,
for stock does better to run all of an
age and size, and is easier cared for.

GEORGE KEPT HIM BUSY.
Matrimonial engagements Seemed Al.
ways In Order.


A well-known Virginia clergyman,
onetime president of William and
Mary college, was married three times
and on each occasion the ceremony
was performed by his brother, an even
more renowned bishop. When the first
marriage took place, the bishop had
to refuse tempting invitation from
an old friend because--so the letter
ran--"I am going up to Williamsburg
on that date to marry my brother
George"
The same friend happened to be
on the train with him, years after
ward, when he was travelling to the
second ceremony. II am going to mar
ry my brother George" the bishop
explained, benignly, after the business
Of greeting was over. Again many
years passed, and the same journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. BY strange coincidence,
the Identical friend ran into the bish-
op as they hurried through the depot
to their respective trains. where 60

they grasped hands and dashed by

Tho Bright FIrstborn.

They were discussing the law of en-
tail-the English law bequeathing tho
bulk Of the family property to the
eldest son.
There is 80 per cent. of logic in
that law" said physician, land II the
family property went to the firstborn,
whether son or daughter, the law
would contain 100 per cent. of logic.
For the first born child is practically
always the best-best in brain, In
build, in beauty, in everything.
why Is this SO? 1t is because mar
ried people love one another more pro-
foundly at the beginning than after
ward; for love. like all things, grows
old, grows weak, often dies.
Mrs. Craigie-John Oliver Hobbies
was a first born child. So was Marie
Corelli. So was Richard Mansfield.
So were Joseph Chamberlain, Lord
Kitchener, Max Muller. Henry Irving,

see again the prominence of the first
born, among them Mohammed, Con-

Don't let your feed lot get foul. A

ter when he has clean eating and

Don't expect to raise thrifty pigs
by feeding the sows nothing but corn.
Plenty of slops are essential to the
growth of the pigs.
Don't let your sows and pigs sleep
at old straw ricks unless you want
them to die with the cholera or some
other disease.
Don't let your shoats run all over
the farm. A few dollars spent in wire
will save you much worry and keep
your meadows and growing crops
from injury.
Don't let your pigs root up the
meadows and pastures. A few hog
rings are cheaper than a lot of tim.
othy and blue grass which would be
destroyed.
Don't let your sows run together
until narrowing time. Cold nights
they will pile up together and may
cause the loss of their pigs. 1t is best
to separate them month before.
Don't fail to give your hogs plenty
of ashes and salt. II you have an
old ash bank about the place, throw

hogs will dispose of 1t to their ad.

Mansfield's Rebuke.

"Mr. Mansfield" said one, was de-
lightful humoroist, splendid racon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had a certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and it never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
"He was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented, from BARRIERS, or
friends, any allusion to his badness.
well, one night at party, man
came up behind this great artist, stag
gered him with a violent slap on the
back, and exclaimed in loud, jovial,
familiar voice:
"'Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time I see you, you get balder and

Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.

STOCK NOTES.

A badly-shod horse is one that will
perform his work with difficulty.
The cow is a machine for convert
ing food into milk, and the profits
from her work are in proportion to her
digestive and asslmilative powers.
With an increasing demand for
horses ON the farms where they are
raised there will be less horses to sell
and consequently those sold will COM
mand a higher price. Keep on raising
good draft colts.
The future brood SOW should show
every indication of being able to prop
erly nourish her litter This quality ID
evidenced by the development of ten
or twelve well-formed teats. This is
quite an important point.
Before building the barn or hog
house sit down and calculate where IL
can be placed, and how planned to be
the most convenient. The average
farmer shortens his life a fourth by
taking unnecessary steps around the
barn and feed lots.

the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays
the harmonica and my son the flute.

tenner singing you would fit right in

expe riences with hawks in my day. an they've teaehed me the truth O what I says, that they's honest hawks an dishonest hawks The first one was feller who used to ply his trade O swipin' poultry up back O Portland when l lived up there. Me an mother was young then, an we spent most of our time raisin' chickens. It was profitable business in them days The boardin house keepers along the Maine coast hadn't discovered then that ye can make chicken salad out O veal. an that chicken soup good enough for summer boarder to eat can be got by lettin hen set between the sun an pot O bilin' water, sos her shadder will flavor the ensooin' soup. Folks bought chickens enough to make 1t wuth while to raise 'em. an mother n me made a pretty fair Twin out of 'em. Well, of course. like everybody else. we suffered some from hawks, an one big feller p'ticlarly got away with a number O nice juicy spring bullets l set lot O store on He'd come along jest before night, once a week, most generally on Thursday afternoon, as I remember it; swoop down on the hen yard, seize the fattest.lookin' feller he could find an go soarin' off in the air with him. As says got pretty mad about 1t, an bein' young ! swore some, an finally l made up my mind Mr Hawk d have to die. So l got out my shot gun an filled her good an full with powder an nails-I didn't happen to have no shot handy-an' set down an waited. l waited hull week an then he come along, but, l gorry, jest s l was drawin' line on him, he drops a fivepound codfish right atop O me, so that when l pulled the trigger my aim went kind O wild an I didn't hit nothin' but the codfish."
 'Whered he get the codfish?" de- manded Si Wotherspoon

 "A check for four dollars to pay for the hen." put in the Postmaster.
 No, sirree," calculated the Cap tain. There wasn't nothin' so honest about that second hawk He was a pirate. he was He'd come back for the eggs the old hen had been settin on. an by the time I'd got my clo'es on an got down to tn yard, he'd got his claws on the nest an was speedin off home with em, an he never spilled an egg l follered after him again. an when l got up to where his nest was I climbed tree, sos l could look down into it an see what he was doin' an by gum, sir. he was settin' on them eggs hisself. Yes, sir jest like an old mother hen, an he set there till he'd matched them all out, an as fast as them baby chickens pop out O their shells, he'd eat em, an when he got through with that bunch he went back an tried the game all over again. but I was too smart for him.

Hawk flies over to the chicken yard, an helps his self to his dinner That night after we'd eat the shad for supper mother remarked that 1t was sort of i'm pressin' itself upon her mind that that there bird wanted to do the square thing by us, an was tryin' to pay for the chickens he took fin fish, an bein' as 1 was thlnkin' very much the same thing myself l didn't see no cause to dispute it. an we decided not to shoot him the next time he came round, but jest to lie low an see Well, sir, sure enough. the next week, near sundown Thursday night, we heard a peckin' at the door an on openin 1t there on the sill we found jest about the slickest lookin' Spanish mack'rel y ever sot your two eyes on. He was perfect beauty an so fresh that he was still drippin' water an foppin' his tail. showin' that he'd only jest been caught. I'd hardly picked him up from the doorstep when terrific squakin' down in the chicken yard showed that MT Hawk was goin' keerfully over my poultry stock like first-class housekeeper doin' her marketin, an bimeby we see him flyin' off through the air with another bullet in his claws.
 Tt went that way all summer long Every time he took bird he brought fish, an when the season was over, an mother an me come to fgger 1t out it wasn't ten cents one way or tn other whether him or us had the best O tn bargain. As l remembered 1t, he'd took s276S wuth O poultry an had left us $27.75 wuth O fish, so that really We was seven cents ahead of the game"
 Which of course ye held in trust for him agin another year" said the Postmaster.
 Not accordin' t due process O the law" replied the Captain. T never dIawed up reglar morgidge on my place in his favor for that amount. but I tell ye right now. If he ever comes back an asks for that seven cents, gorry. I'll give it to him. But that ain't the pint. The pint is that they is, or has been. one honest hawk in the world, an l guess maybe that
