walked slowly towards the fireroom.

enquired what was wrong.
"Wrong!' be snapped ont; "why,
man, can't you smell it?'' The re-

mixed with something, but was
unable to say just what it was.
He followed in the wake of Mr..

THE MIRROR force is happy to
announce that the new catalogue
is all set up and printed, and is
now in the bindery. The books
will be distributed within few
days. The setting up part was a
very difficult task for our small
concern, but with patience and a
little cussing We managed to get it
out in a fairly creditable manner.
The design on the front cover is
the work of our printers devil; and,
while it is not metrically perfect,
it is very tasty for beginner.
We think the book is free from
misleading errors, but candily ad-
NIT that few have passed the
watchfulness of the proof reader.

proceeded cautiously across the hall to
his sons room with a revolver in one
hanl. He was followed by his wife.
George, are you injured!" shouted
the father.

threw open the door

The heating of the brooder PLAYS a

The fowls and eggs from a pure bred

There is nothing that fits into the

ter than q we'll managed flock of po,1l-

The cost of securing well bred poul-
try is so comparatively small that there
is no excuse for keeping a lot of mon
grel hens.
Do not expect to find smooth sailing
with the incubators and breeders at

in learning to manage them
There is nothing more disgusting
than to see a lot Of old. scaly legged

would be doubled in a few years and
that we would still be getting good

The Age OF Sheep.

The age Of sheep is very easily
shown by an examination of the teeth.
\ lamb has the first pair of permanent
front teeth when about 10 months old !;
the second pair appears at about IS
months; the third pair at 2S months
and the fourth at about 33 to 40
months. When the whole of the per-
manent front teeth have appeared the
sheep is in its fourth year. The Meri-
no natures its teeth later than the
other breeds; the Cotswold and South
downs and other highly-improved NUT
ton sheep are some months ahead Of
a Merino, but at years every sheep
has its full mouth of teeth. Later
the age is known by the appearance
of the teeth, which gradually lose their
sharp edges and become worn down
smooth. A healthy sheep will keep its
teeth good until 10 or u years old,
If the pasture is not unusually bare
and the soil sandy, so as to wear the
teeth excessively.

FoGd for Young Calves.

Withhold solid foods until the calf

grows older encourage big eating in

stimulate both digestion and ability to

By rich cream we have commonly

Therefore, allowing the milk to cream
and removing this to reduce the rich

made should have modified the casein.
This can be accomplished by simply
