THE CAPTAINS REMEDY.


A young woman who recently made
trip to Europe decided to consult the
captain of the ship as to the best pre-
ventive for seasickness. Having armed
herself with letter Of introduction to
the officer. she waited until the ship
had cleared Sandy Hook. says writer
IN the Bohemian. and then approached
him. She described her fears, and beg
ged for remedy.
My dear lady," replied the captain.
with an amused smile, you will not be
troubled with any illness II you will do
what l tell you. Most ladies confine
themselves to tE>ar staterooms. and
thereby incur the very thing they fear.
Now If you viii stay on deck, get all
the fresh air you can, walk up and
down. take good physical care of your
self, and try not TO think of trouble.
you will never be seasick."
The lady thanked him. She followed
the directions faithfully, and when the
ship ran into the tail end OF a heavy
northwest gale, she never felt a aualm.
She appeared regularly at meals and
enjoyed herself thoroughly.
As the gale was abating. she be-
thought her that it was due the CAP
tain that she should thank him for
his good advice. and approaching the
deck steward, entrusted him with a
message asking for an Interview. In
due time the steward returned. saying
that the captain was unable TO grans
her an interview.

Care should be exercised iii pasturing
sheep on clover or, in fact, on any mem
Der of the legume family, for unless
judgment is used there may be consid-
cradle loss from bloating. There is a
right and a wrong way of pasturing
these crops. The right way is to allow
the clover or alfalfa almost to come
into bloom before turning in the sheep.
Then there should be sown with these
crops some timothy, redtop or any other
nonlegumineus plant, for where there
is mixture this way the sheep will
alternately eat one and the other and
so reduce the chance of sloet.
When turning IN the flock for the
first time they should De already filed
with food. For example, the day they
are to be turned into the clover pasture
feed them early in the morning little
grain and hay, and when the sun is well
UP and hot turn them out. Then, in
stead of filing themselves at once they
will eat a little and then look for a
cool spot to rest In. Joseph e. Wing
has. he says, tried this plan with great
success. He also advises keeping before
them constantly a receptacle contain
ing salt and air slaked lime mixed.
Once in the pasture they should never
be moved until 1t comes time to change
to fresh pasture-that is, they should
not be brought into the yards at night

Eastern Agriculture Unprogre..ives

In the East applied agricultural sci
