IN LIFE's BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
Of human life, and are brief and I'M
certain. The experience Of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke Of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filed with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.--Matthew Hale
Carpenter.

Bran as a Poultry Food.

A mess of bran is always beneficial
to fowls. Bran contains more phos-
pilates and mineral matter than
ground grain, also assists in regulat-
ing the bowels. This is true especial
iy when quantity of linseed meal is
given with 1t, but in the warm season
a mess three times week Is suffi-
cient. 1t may be fed by scalding 1t
and feeding 1t in trough, or by
sprinkling 1t dry on a clean board or
over cooked potatoes and turnips. No
other grain should be given II bran is
allowed during the summer season.
especially II the fowls have a large
range. In fact, no grain is necessary
at all during a warm season, except
at moulting time, but should such
food be given, let 1t be dry bran

NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD.
That's Where tho Driver Had the Best
of the Preacher.

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party Of men
working upstream with native guide.
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.
Trying to steal my setter, are
your" he shouted at the clergyman.
"Pll have you to Jail for this! There's
a law in the woods Just as big as you
have in the city"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
ITS queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods. THAT Is the
firrt time was ever accused of steal
ing dog"
Eyes, sir" replied the driver, SYM
pathetically, and added, after a mo-
ment's pause, For myself, sir, l have
never been accused of stealing any
thing. "-Youth's Companion.

ITEMS.

The flavor of butter is an element Of
value that should be carefully guarded.
The driving horse Is receiving more
attention than ever before. The lack
of breed of American driving horses
Is being felt.
Unsound grain should never be fed
to horses. The small amount of food
required in proportion to the size of
the body makes it necessary that the
food be Of the best quality.
Under average conditions a grade
draft colt can be raised as cheap per
pound after foaling as steer, and
will sell when years old for at least
three times as much.
In some parts of the country the
question of high yield of wool is taking
the place of the question of the large
yield of mutton. The high wool prices
have brought the change.

SHEEP AS FERTILlzINc AGENTS.
No Other Farm Animal Increases Fer
tility as Much as They Do.

There is probably no one farm an.
NAL which does more to increase the
fertility of the farm, and especially
the grazing land, than does the sheep.
1t has long been a recognized fact that
sheep droppings are exceptionally rich
in the elements which go to make up
soil fertility and this fact is often
taken advantage of in building up
worn-out lands. or course where a
piece of land is so thoroughly ex.
hausted that it will not produce grass
there Is very little chance Of building
1t up with sheep grazing, but where
even small amount of pasture can be
obtained the fertility of the land can
be built up wonderfully by allowing
sheep to Craze upon it for few sea-
sons. There are instances of worn.
out farms which have doubled and
trebled in value by allowing the sheep
to Craze upon them for period OF
years. While abandoned and worn
out farms are very scarce in this Sec
ton OF the country, it is much bet
ter policy to keep from getting them
exhausted than to figure how to build
them up after they are once run down.
The question resolves itself largely
into one of returning the fertility to
the soil through the means of live
stock and, says The Farmer, wherever
sheep can be raised they can be used
as potent factor in such work. The
sheep are always healthier. II their
pasture ground is changed frequently
and at the same time their health Is
being promoted they are also adding
fertility to the farm.

Horse Has a Limit,

A race horse cannot bide its time
for making good, yet they, like men.
have their off days, lose physical form,
get off their feed, become muscle sore
often through lack of proper care, lose
their ambition, and temporarily be-
come discouraged and fail to race up
to standard form. Some horses, like
a great many men. are softhearted and
cannot stand grief. But as general
rule horse which races gamely one
week will do so the next and keep on
doing it if its physical condition re-
mains the same; but no horse will or
can race when not in physical condi-
ton. Nor can horse come back the
next heat, the next day, the next week
or the next year and surpass previ-
Gus performance which was it's actual
limit-and every horse has a limit.

SCIENCE OF FEEDING HOGS.
II Must Be Understood to Make Sue.
cess OF Hog Raising.

The science of feeding hogs has al
ways been one that was well worthy
Of being studied. When corn and other
feeds were cheap the science was a
worthy one because with it was wrap.
ped up the health and stamina of the
hog. When feeds became high in
price it was all the more science
worthy TO be studied for the reason
that to the other was added the
money-making question. Now, 1t is
impossible to make much money from
the hog without good understanding
Of the scientific principles of feeding.
The man who does not understand
that science, says Farmers Review,
will be wasting valuable feed in the
securing of his results. The science
is as yet difficult one, as little is
known on several subjects that touch
on the feeding of hogs. One of these
is what proportion of protein and car
bohydrate elements does hog take
from his food? Also, does a growing
hog take different proportion Of
these elements than a hog that has
attained his growth. Breed variations
also enter into the problem. But there
is one foundation that must not be
neglected and that is chemistry, SO
far as it relates to the body and feed
of the hog.

venient intervals C G c C to admit
the iron rod B which should pass
close under the hams of the SOW just

between the sow's hind legs and rests
on the retaining rod, as shown in

Skimminqs.

The testing at the creamery should
be done openly and fairly. Every
patron should be welcome at the

When a COW becomes accustomed

tant.
Let the young calves eat grain as

shelled corn make excellent feed, and
when fed with skinned milk will
serve to balance the young calf's ra-
tion and prevent scours.
In producing milk we get no re-
turns from the food consumed until

do not use the food nutrients for max.
ing beef, and then feed them all they
will eat.
Remember that the milk does not
have to be sour In order to be classed
as poor milk. There are many roads
which lead to Rome, and there are
many ways for milk to become i'm.
pure and unfit for use In making good
butter.

Like Timothy Best.

Horses prefer timothy cut when the
seed is well formed, but not fully
ripe. AS this class of stock Is IN
favorably affected by laxative feeds.
late cut timothy is also preferred for
them, on account of its favorable eff
feet on the digestive tract. In the
case OF cattle. laxative feed is rather
to be preferred. Cattle also relish
timothy when it is cut rather green.
Hence, for cattle, timothy should be
cut about the time it is In blossom
Any time from day or two before
the first bloom till day or two after
the second bloom will answer. The
yield will be slightly larger at the
later stage.
