Animal Nature.

Why does dog when in slight
alarm and listening lift up fore
foot from the ground? Sometimes.
it is the left foot, sometimes the
right. The setter is usually de-
picted with all his feet on the
ground, the pointer with one foot
raised. The cat has the same habit
of lifting up one fore foot when In
a state of uncertainty. Is the
hearing more acute with three feet
on terra firma than with four! In
teresting problems these for the
student of nature to study.

THE SHEPHERD.

A prosperous sheep man says: One OF
the most important things In making
the sheep business profitable Is care.
Sheep feel neglect and there is always
failure where they are kept In shift
less, careless way. Every year raise
lambs that are better than their dams.
and your success is assured. Take good
care Of the ewes. This care ought to
begin before the lambs come. Getting
ready is always the most important
part Of all. The ewes should have the
best hay and grain we have In the crib.
Musty hay will not do Heavy grain In
not the thing for the last few weeks
before the lambs come. Keep salt be-
fore the sheep at all times. They eat
lots of It,
Sheep and Dogs.
We have kept sheep for the last
twenty years and never had a dog
bother them, says Maryland breeder.
II you will put sheep bells on about
half Of your flock you will not be both
cred with dogs. A sheep dog Is 4
sneak thief and will not go where he
will make noise. Put fifty bells ON
hundred sheep. and you need not
lose any sleep listening for dogs. The
bells cost Is cents per dozen, straps
about the same price. live In dairy
section, but some farmers keep sheep,
and dogs attack only the flocks that
are not belled
shearino Sheep.
Those who have very many sheep
should have shearing machine, It
does the work better and quicker than
hand shears, without 80 much injury
to the sheep. Where one has but 4
few sheep 1t Is better to go in with has
neighbors and get machine. But 1t b
well to learn how to shear by hand
Teach the boys even though you have
machine. 1t is bad practice to leave
any tag5 on the sheep II you don't
want them In the wool, clip them on
anyway just for the looks Of the sheep.
The best time to dip is right after
shearing. Some wait until ta> ticks
have all gone on to the lambs ana then
dip only the lambs. Better dip ali
sheep and lambs. not once, but twice.
50 as to catch the ticks that hatch
after the first dip.
Special Feed For Thin Ewes.
1t Will pay to separate the thin ewes
from the rest and give them special
feed for awhile. Don't leave them with
the rest to struggle for their living, but
give them little advantage.

TO ADJUDICATE WATER RIGHTS
Canal Association Endeavoring to As.
certain Priority.

At meeting OF the Governing Board
OF the Twin Falls Canal Association, It
was decided necessary, upon the best
legal advice obtainable, to procure a
decree from the courts showing the
standing OF the water right for the
land on the original Twin Falls tract,
This Is necessary in order to secure
the rights of land owners In case a
dispute arises as to the prior right OF
the South Side Twin Falls tract over
the surrounding tracts which have
made filings on the waters OF Snake
River, or in case any of the surround
ing tracts show disposition to en-
croach upon the rights of settlers
upon the lands of the South Side Twin
Falls tract
Every owner of land on this tract,
which includes the original segrega-
ton Of 10000 acres on the North Side,
Is invited to join as a plaintiff in this
suit to be brought, and if he SO Joins,
the expense will be nominal. If he
fails to Join as plaintiff, he will b.
made defendant in the case, making
1t necessary for him to secure legal
help at considerable expense.
The secretary of the Canal Associa
ton will be in his office over the COM
mercial Savings Bank in Twin Falls
every Saturday from 800 A. M. to &. 90
P. M, and will receive the names OF
all those wishing to be made plain
tins and answer any questions to those
desiring information.
The secretary has also been in
structed by the Governing Board to
call upon as many of the land owners
as possible for him to see and give
them an opportunity to become plain
tiffs In the case.
Messrs. Stockslager & Bowen are
the attorneys for the association and
will conduct the case. They, as we'll
as others who have given this matter
much thought and study, consider an
early action OF the courts most i'm
portant, and 1t is necessary in order
that the decree be OF benefit to any
particular piece of land that the owner
of that land shall signify his intention
to Join In the suit. The whole tract
cannot be treated as body, and the
fact that your neighbor has decree
does not put your land in the same
standing as his, unless you are plain
TIL in the suit. SO 1t is important to
you that you are not overlooked
