Give the Sheep a Chance.

The lambs come into the world per-
fectly free from parasites and gener-
ally from germ diseases. 1t is prob
able that most of them are free from
Internal parasites. The flock owner
should realize this and endeavor to
protect the little things from all that
would make them less thrifty than they
are when they are born, says Farmers
Review. Some of the most successful
tlOcks of sheep in the country have been
upon them. In the very first place they
have been protected against all kinds Of
parasites, and have been given quarters
in which disease germs could not
thrive
Their owners have realized the fact
that about all that sheep need is a
chance to be thrifty. 1t Is well known
that they have in themselves an I'M
usual power of resisting disease and
of rising above averse conditions. The
successful raising of sheep does not re-
quire extraordinary measures 50 much
as ordinary measures. The steps to
be taken need to be those of protecting
the sheep against enemies of various
kinds rather than to devise new meth
DDS generally.
1t will be found that the successful
shepherds are in all cases men that
look carefully after the multitude of lit
tie things, which go to make up the
grand total Of things making for the
welfare of the flock. To give the sheep
a good fighting chance is all that Is
necessary to insure success.

Feeding Cows.

Prof. Eckles of the Missouri agricul-
turaI college has the following to say
as to how to feed COWS:
There are two common mistakes;
first, not feeding enough second, feed
ing a ration not properly balanced.
About 60 per cent of what a COW can
eat Is necessary to maintain her, with
out producing milk or gaining in
weight. 1t is not economy to feed only
little more than this 60 per cent
needed to keep up the cows body. Be-
low are given balanced ratiOns that
will furnish the material necessary to
produce milk in about the right pro-
portions. By the term 'rations' is
meant the feed for twenty-four hours.
If a COW will not give a good flow Of
milk in the early part Of the milking
period, when fed a liberal amount Of
one of these ratiOns, it indicates that
she is not adapted by nature to be a
dairy animal and she should be dis
posed Of The amounts given are about
right for a COW giving from 20 to 25
pounds of milk per day. For heavy
mixers these rations are to be in
creased and reduced for lighter milk
ers In making up these rations, it Is
designed that the cow be given practi-
cally all the roughness she will eat
and then sufficient grain is added to
furnish the necessary amount Of digest
ible material:

three are widely known-Prince Philip,
whose abuse of his wife, daughter of
Leopold Of Belgium, drove her to an
asylum; Prince Ferdinand, who rules
over Bulgaria and Princess Clotilde,
who has lost much of her great fortune
by engaging in wildcat speculation.
King Louis Philippe looked upon Glenn
entine as his favorite child. She had
natural bent toward politics, and Bis
marck, who said that she was the only
woman he ever dreaded. declared that
she was without principle She was
responsible for the placing of her son,

SOft-ShelIed EGGS.

1t is generally believed that the soft
shelled eggs occasionally laid by the
len is due to deficiency of lime in the
food. Some experiments carried oct
at the experiment station in Kansas,
however, seem to indicate. that this is
not the right explanation. 1t rather
appears to be a case of arrested de-
yelopment due to nervous shock, and to
be analogous to abortion in mammals.
Soft-shelled eggs were laid at the ex-
pertinent station by hens subjected to
nervous excitement. And il is shown
that on an ordinary diet a hens sys-
tenn normally contains enough lime for
shells Of five or six eggs. If lime is
withheld. then, after laying these five
or six, the hen will cease laying. But
If lime in limited quantity be given, the
hen lays eggs in proportion to the
amount given, though the shells on in
vestigation, are found to be somewhat
thinner than normal

breeds and cross-breeds were tested,
and also the eggs from hens kept in
warm houses and those kept in cold.
This is the summary of the result:
l. Exercise and fresh air are abso,
lutely necessary for the breeding stock
to insure vitality in the chick sufficient
to bring it from the shell alive, the
fertility counting but little if the par
ents have been kept too warm in vi
tiated air and too lazy.
2. Stimulating rations in plenty Civ
en- to fowls kept in cold houses did not
seem to affect the strength of the
germs in the eggs laid by them as II
did those kept in very warm houses
strength being low in these last.
8. Eggs laid in early December
by hens kept in artificially warmed
houses showed a greater per cent of
fertile eggs with stronger germs than
did eggs laid by them later in the sea-
son.
1. Eggs laid by the same hens in
spring showed a good rate of fertility,
but the very weakest of germs.
3. The best results were obtained
from fowls springing from parent
stock that has never known warm
quarters. their descendants being
treated to like quarters. From thirty
five eggs laid by this stock in early
spring, after laying all winter, twenty
eight chicks Matched we'll and strong.
In contrast to this, from fifty-two eggs
laid by the fowls kept in limited and
artificially warmed quarters, but seven
teen chicks were Matched.

Rhuharh May Re Divided.

If rhubarb is to be divided it should
be done in the autumn and not left to
the spring, when the plants should be
doing their best work. Cut so each
bud will have good piece of root, and
set with manure below the soil on
which the root rests and manure above
the soil covering it, the rain and snow
of winter will do the rest. Later, if
early outdoor stalks are wanted from
established roots, a tall box or barrel
should be put over each root with
straw over the plant and a good wall
of we'll rotted manure inside the in
closure There will probably be a good
growth of tender stalks in the early
sDring.

FertiIizing Value of POTATO Tons,

The mineral that the potato crop
mostly exhausts from the soil is pot
ash. and this is mainly found in the
tops. The tubers have a large proper
ton Of water. and their solid matter
is mostly starch, much. if not all, of
which is taken from the air through
the leaves. If potato tops are covered
lightly, so as to prevent them from
blowing away in winter. most of their
substance will be washed away into the
soil before spring. Any one who has
pitted potatoes in the fall, covering
with potato tops. will find in the spring
that the soil location las been en-
riched. This does not come entirely
from the potato tops, for the earthing
up around the pit deepens the soil.
Repeated freezing and thawing make it
more soluble The potash in the potato
being set free may also contribute to
the same result.

Selecting pure Rreeds.


The selection Of superior animals ID
done more carefully at present than
formerly. Color has largely been the
guide in determining the merits as
well as the price of some of the pure
bred. animals. Where the markings
have much to do with the price to a
fancier, the case is somewhat differ
ent, and it may be well enough to be
governed, to a great extent, by those
markings, or points," laid down in
some recognized Standard; but when
considering the selection of the best
specimens for utilitarian purposes it is
not the best policy to adhere too close
ly to any fashionable color or mark
ing, for it does not alter the economic

horse does have a ''blaze face and
three white feet" If he can trOt low

purchaser desires speed, Il high price
can always be secured for him. If a
Jersey COW is "off color and does not
have the ''black tongue and SWITCH"
provided she not only produces extra
fine calves, but is an exceptionally good
and heavy butter producer, she will
bring a good price if the owner can be
induced to part with her, which is not
often the case. To secure uniformity
of breed characteristics it may be we'll
enough to adopt characteristic marks
and colors in certain breeds of live
stock, but in some instances it has
been carried to an extreme What
should be desired is an animal bred for
business" first, and after that may
follow the fancy points" The farm
er who is not always partial to points"
will be willing to pay good price for
an animal of any breed if he is certain
that it can accomplish more than that
derived from ordinary stock.

TWO PICTURES.

An old farmhouse, with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A bright eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about
And wishes his one thought all day:
"Oh, if | could but fly away
From this dull spot, the world to sea.
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy l should be-"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
is thinking, thinking all day long;
"Oh, could | only tread once more
The feld-path to the farmhouse door,
The DID, green meadow could L see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy l should bel"

Iy three times, tucked it in his pocket

There was long. painful silence,
broken only by the sounds from the
street below, which were irritatingly
audible. When the girl spoke her voice
sounded strangely mutfled and unnat-
oral.
II understand. After all these years
OF labor, of self-sacrifice, of weary,
hopeless loneliness, l am still failure
as an actress. You are right-ny work
lacks soul: l am conscious of it, al
ways, and now l suppose the time has
some for me to realize the hopelessness
of it all, and give up my loved work

The girl gave quick, impatient ges-
tire. and her fair white brow wrinkIed
into a frown. why should go on in

The girl walked over to the window
and tapped nervously against the glass.
Her eyes were big and expectant when
she turned to her companion again and
there was a wistful little droop to her

She lowered her eyes and plucked
nervously at the soft, moss-covered
ground.

ly black hair for the twentieth time
and smiled approvingly as he noted the

The sun shone in through the win

warm, red lips and changing the loose
tendrils Of her hair into strands of
gllstening gold.

gently.
She sazed with dull, unseeing eyes

quivered pitifully.
