euy Good Sheen.

The best investment beginner In
the sheep business can make is to buy
good stock, and the worst thing he can
do is to get poor stuff because 1t is
cheap The better sheep one has the
more pride he will take in keeping
them up to the standard. He feels that
he cannot afford to let them run down
and generally II he is a progressive
man he does not. II you have pret-
ty good flock make 1t better by pur-
chasing purebred ram for a founda-
ton. You will find about all breeds
represented In our advertising columns
and II you don't see what you want
write us and we will gladly put you
next to the right proposition The
old statement that the ram is half the
flock Is just as true now as 1t ever
was. and no beginner should start
without good kind of a sire. Wheth-
er you are breeder or feeder, do
your work methodically and with a

Weight and power are the telling
points which have won favor for the
Shire horses in America and else
where No other breed produces
draughters that can throw into the
collar more concentrated force than
they. Stations that tip the scale
beam at $500 pounds are not uncom-
mon, and geldings that weigh upward
of ton can be seen almost any day
in the great Bulls Head horse market
where fancy draughters are sold. The
prevailing color of the Shires is a yell
low bay, and there is strong tendency
to white faces and legs. From the
knees and hooks down the legs of the
Shires are feathered with an extraor-
binary growth of long, coarse hair,
which in England is considered one of
the show points OF the breed, though
many users of draught horses object
to it here. In snap, action and quality
the Shire is no match for the French
draught horse, which seems strange
when 1t is remembered that English
breeders have close at hand in their
thoroughbreds the source of pretty
much all quality in modern horse
flesh.-New York Herald. IS

HOMEMADE STEAMER.

While constant steaming OF the
face is not to be advised, the woman
who likes the refreshing feeling it
gives can do 1t at home quite easily.
Put teakettle Of water over an
alcohol or gas stovcplate that can
be set on table. In the mouth of
the kettle put funnel and as the
steam pours out bend the face over
It,
The head may either be covered
with heavy Turkish towel or a cap
of stiff paper or cardboard can be
pinned around the face much in the
order Of q sunbonnet.
Always put good cold cream ca
the face before steamiDg and pinch
and massage the flesh well to draw
the blood to the surface.
After the steaming, dry the face
with soft towel and dash with cold
water in which has been mixed some
astringent as benzoin, until the water
is of milky tinge.-New Haven Reg

1t is claimed that great as is our
annual wheat crop it does not exceed
the production OF poultry and eggs.
This is due to the fact that a large
proportion of poultry is kept in the
suburbs of cities, towns and villages.
The shcep-killing deg should be
placed on the same footing as one
afflicted with hydTophobia. Nobody
asks any questions regarding what
should be done with q rabid animal,
yet a sheep thief does ten times more
damage than a mad dog.
Grapes are a winter-keepng fruit
and are very valuable for that purpose.
What greater luxury or more whole
some than fresh grapes on the table
all winter and no one so poor who may
not enjoy plenty of his own growing.
The value of grapes for winter use
is not fully appreciated.
The fruit grower who makes ap-
pies, peaches, pears and plums his
speciality may also add poultry to his
business, as the birds can occupy the
same ground with the trees. The Or
chard provides shade for poultry in
summer while the fowls greatly as
sist in the destruction of many insects
that infest the orchard.
Corn on the cob and refuse-which
consists almost entirely of grains re-
duced to charcoal-and still retaining
their perfect shape-placed before
fowls is greedily eaten by them with
a marked improvement in their health,
as shown by the brighter color of
their combs and their sooner produc-
ing a greater average of eggs to the
flock than before.
AS soon as possible in spring all
trees planted within a year should be
Strengthened where loosened by frost.
Inattention to this point has made
all of our old orchards lean away
from the prevailing winds. The evil
Is worse as the country grows older
and the winds have free sweep
1t is all right to raise seeds for home
use, but they are seldom as good az
those raised by a reliable scotsman.
Send for a catalogue, look it over
carefully, make judicious selections and
have the seeds ready when the planting
season comes. Most people plant gar
den seeds too early, the plants are
chilled by the cold of early spring,
turn yellow, are stunted and never
wholly recover from the effects of the
setback. 1t is better to wait until the
ground is warm and In good con-
dition to be worked. Then the seeds
will quickly germinate, come up and
mature far more and better fruit than
those that have been planted out Of
season.-Epitomist.

THE ORIENTAL RUG.

There seems to be a popular i'm
preston, according to Good House
keeping, that an Oriental rug will
wear forever, no matter what sor.
of treatment it receives, but this Is
one of those mistakes which are Of
ten discovered too late to be recti-
fed. In the east, where they are worn
smooth by the gliding of bare feet,
their chances for Immortality are
great, but in America boot-heels are
their constant and insidious enemies.
However, their lives may be prolons-
ed by skilful attention. If the over
casting on the edge is gone or Civ
ing way, a thread of carpet wool or
yarn will supply new overcasting ana
give new resistance. II warp or
weft thread on the back is broken,
It should not be left to slip out, TAX
ing the knots with 1t, but should
have a linen thread tied to 1t at one
end, be woven over and under as far
as the break extends, and then be
tied at the other. If knots come out
they should be replaced at once with
the aid OF coarse, Old-fashioned
worsted needle. If the selvage wears
crooked, 1t should be ravelled out and
overcast, saving The surplus wool for
other repairs. All these are va!ua-
BILE preventive measures. A good
Oriental rug Is a work of art, and
it should be treated with the rever-
ence which 1t deserves.

Make Better Butter.

A farmers wife asks why cream
cries are paid SO much more for their
product than people are willing to pay
for country-made butter. | will tell
you why, and l want to be plain. 1t
is because the creameries make bet
ter and more uniform grade.
That sweet, delicate flavor Of the
highest grade of butter comes from
pure, rich cream, that has been right
ly handled Creameries employ all
possible means to keep their cream in
perfect condition until 1t is made into
butter. To secure a better grade of
country butter, we must begin with
the milk when 1t Is taken from the
cows, and handle 1t with scrupulous
care until the cream is ready to churn.

Anchorinq a Wire Fence.

We notice that many farmers who
use woven wire fencing have them
staked down by cris-crossing small
stakes over the bottom wire in order
to prevent hogs creeping and forcing
their way under and into adjacent
fields where they are not wanted.
We use better method. Between
each post we dig down eighteen inches
and place loop of heavy galvanized
wire and into each hole sink small
stone or piece of old casting and cover
deeply.
Then with our foot we hold the
fencing tight to the ground surface
and with the pliers twist the ends of
the buried wire about the bottom fence
wire. This makes an anchor that lasts
as lorg as the fence lasts and Is not
rotting off or being lifted with the
frosts every winter as stakes do.
If the fence posts are exceptionally
far apart two or three of these an
chors may be placed between each
post-George w. Brown in the Epit-
