best not put in racks, because the
greedy, good feeders, fast eaters and
those that are continually fighting will
not give the weaker sheep a chance.
This roughage should be spread over
a sod pasture If possible. OF course
on bad days other means Of feeding,
such as in self feed racks or stalls,
can be used. One of the strongest
points of outside feeding in this way n
to give the sheep more exercise and
get them accustomed to the outside
air.
Although they have access to the
above variety Of food, yet the success
Of the flock during the winter will de-
pend almost entirely upon the care
they receive. When the flock is
brought into winter quarters the sheep
should be separated into several
groups-that is, the breeding ewes
should be separated from the show
ewes. The weak or old. thin ewes
should be separated from the young,
robust ones. so that they may receive
better care and better feed.

Miss Jeannette's objection to Gene
Carman was his profession. He was
night editor on a morning paper, and
he came home anywhere between and
6 o'clock in the morning.
Miss Jeannette was country bred, and
for forty years she had accepted with
out question the dictum that those who
We're out of night were no better than
thieves and robbers.
Just what was the difference between
thieves and robbers Miss Jeannette did
not know. She knew only that those
were the only sort of persons who
were out when decent folk should be
abed, SO when her pretty niece, Matte
Boyer, gave evidence of more Nhan a
passing interest in Carman she very
promptly frOwned upon the young man
and warned Matte that she must have
nothing more to do with the Carmans,
mother and son.
The latter lived on the floor above
Matte and her maiden aunt, and kind
ly Mrs. Carman had been tower Of
strength to Miss Jeanette when she
and Matte had first come to the city
to live.
She had pointed out the best places
at which to trade and helped Miss
Jeanette to get an obnoxious tenant
on the lower floor out of the house and
had initiated both the elder and the
younger woman into city ways gen
orally.
Naturally it had hurt the old lady

Curing a BaIky Horse.

There are many guaranteed" reci-
pes for curing balky horse, but 1t
requires more than one recipe very
often to effect the cure. So it Is we'll
that many cures are at hand. Here iS
one from Breeders Gazette: Withhold
the water from the horse the first day,
hitch him up, and If he refuses to pull
keep him thirsty to the second day.
In most cases the horse is then willing
to work, yet in bad cases the water
has to be withheld for three days.
Care should be taken not to let the
horse have too much water when be
starts to work. 1t is better to give him
1t several times and little only each
time. Never water the horse until
after the work for the first two weeks.
After that he will pull willingly any
time. With this method have broken
some bakers which had been given up
by everybody, and this cure has never
failed yet in effectiveness.

WINTER CARE
OF SHEEP.

Whatever kind of winter quarters
are provided for sheep. they should
be dry both overhead and underfoot,
says c. w. Hendricks of Iowa. If the
quarters are dry sheep will endure
considerable cold without any incon-
venience. Breeding ewes require about
fifteen or sixteen square feet In a build
ing and about one and a half feet as q
feeding rack. 1t Is absolutely neces-
sary to have the sheds or barns where
the sheep are kept well bedded. If
sheep are placed in a filthy, wet pen
or muddy lot serious results are usual
ly experienced, foot rot being the prin-
cipal disease to fear. II this trouble
gets started the barns should be kept
free from manure and after each clean
ing dlsinfected with air slaked lime.
Sheep will do well on almost any
of the common grains and roughage
grown on the average farm. The great
trouble. however, is to get folders In
palatable condition. If the flock enters
winter quarters in good flesh and has
access to we'll cured folders, such as
clover, alfalfa, native and millet hay
and roots, very little If any grain need
be fed until near lambing time. On
the other hand, if the flock is thin
when it enters winter quarters no
time should be lost in putting on some
fat.
There is a wide variation In the ra-
tions fed throughout the country. The
shepherds of the east think roots are
indispensable. while in the west many
shepherds think they can winter their
flocks fully us well without roots. No
doubt with many roots or other foods
of a similar nature are not advisable.
However, the most practical shepherds
find that few roots judiciously fed

BY Way of Experiment.

Not long ago there was certain
salesman in a dry goods shop of an
Ohio city who was habitually observ-
ing to his fellow clerks that the con-
Germ would find it rather difficult to
get along without him. These re-
marks coming to the ear of the senior
partner of the firm, he decided to in
terview his clerk concerning them.
Mr.. Spotts," said the partner, with
a grim smile, although you have not
proved to be our most efficient clerk
yet We have appreciated such service
as you have condescended to render us
during the intervals when YOU were
not eXpatiating on your own merits
Now we have lately heard 1t said that
If YOU We're to die the business would
hare some trouble in surviving the
loss. This has worried us Il good deal,
for you, like all of us, are liable to
drop off at any moment.
For this reason, therefore. we have
concluded. for our peace Of mind, to
experiment while all of us are IN good
health In order that we may ascer-
tain whether the firm can bear up
under your loss. You will accordingly
consider yourself dead for the period
Gf on" month, and we will try to see
whether we can get along without you
for that length of time. e."-Harper's.

WIPES THE CARPET,

place The wiper consists of roller
carrying net or cloth which has
been dampened. AS the wiper travels
over the carpet it gathers up all the
dust which remains after sweeping.
This wiping, which is very easily ac-
complished by the sweeper, would be
impossible by hand. The wiping with
the damp cloth also brightens the col
Ors of the carpet and considerably i'm
proves their appearance.

Save the best lambs for breeding.
even If they would bring dollar more.
They are worth really more than that.
The best plan for the average farm
er in starting a dairy herd is to take
a few well selected animals and breed
up to the size desired.
If the litters are farrowed at about
the same time. they may easily be d.
vided to suit the size and ability Of the
sows to suckle them properly.
In currying horse, don't use curry
comb with too sharp teeth. 1t is pain
full, and in time will destroy the dis
position of really good animal.

friendly relations without word Of
warning, but Il hint from Matte to
Gene soon set matters right
Matte was accustomed to Miss Jean
nettes sudden whims, and she assured
Gene that presently there would be
turn of the tide In his favor. Mean
while she had to obey Miss Jeannette's
prohibition against seeing Gene, so the
only communication they held was by
means of notes.
Every morning when Gene came
home from his work he found note
stuck In the wide mouth of the empty
milk bottle beside the Boyer doorway.
The milkman came through the house
later. gathering up empty bottles and
leaving the filled ones.
To any person who CHANGED to pass
it would appear to be note of in
structons to the milklnan, but to
Gene, coming home tired and some
times disheartened, the little blue en-
Velopes were like mental cocktails.
The same bottle would not serve as
nette took in the milk.
The best that Gene could do was to
leave his letters In the candy store on
the corner, where Matte could get
them when she returned from her
work
Had Mrs. Carman been willing to
act as messenger the problem would
have been far more simple, but the
kindly old lady would have nothing to
do with the affair.
She was hurt that the friendship
should he so suddenly terminated and
still more hurt that her son should be
regarded as ineligible. She wondered
at his lack of pride that he should still
want to marry Matte in spite of Miss
JeannetteS prohibition, and she was
most OStentatiouSly neutral
For a time the milk bottle postofiice
answered its purpose eXcellently we'll
Miss Jeanette went to bed early and
let Matte close the house, so that the
latter set the bottle out in the hall
every evening.
But one morning Gene did not come
home as usual There had been SEN
sational accident. and all the men on
duty had been rushed to TIE scene.
Even the men on the desks who could
be spared were sent out, Gene among
them.
1t was nearly noon when he at last
reached home. so exhausted that not
bn think nf N
a and body were numb. and he did not
dream that another man was reading
the letter intended for him and was
glOating over its contents.
Mattie's letters were not affection
ately personal. She knew the danger
Of the missives falling into other
hands, SO she wrote vague notes of
good cheer.
In the missing one there was an allu-
sion to the long wait for loves culmina-
tiOn, and this gave to Butch Cassidy,
the milk boy, the idea that the young
woman with the glorious blue eyes was
very much interested in him.
II bet she seen me somewhere on
Sunday" he mused. She's q pippin,
but l guess I'm some apples myself
when l get me new harness on. It's a
darned shame that she didn't pipe up

For the making of gravies, thicken-
ing Of roast gravies, ii will be found
useful to have Drowned flour on hand
at all times, which can readily be
kept in a closed jar or any covered

no better way than to put quantity
on a pie or cake tin into hot oven,
say, while roasting or baking or after
through with either and the oven is
still hot. Brown to the desired color

will be found convenient and a time

Hint For Washing Hair.

To avoid tangling the hair when
washing it first separate it into two
parts by running the comb from the
forehead straight down the back of
the head Then divide each of these
parts into two and make four small
braids instead of one large one.
When the washing is done if each
braid is taken out and combed by it
self there will be few, if any, tangles.
This is an especially good idea in
washing Il child's hair.

Common Mistakes In Astronomy


Gore, the great English astronomer,
has been calling attention to several
widespread errors. He says the state
ment that with the Yerkes telescope
one can see the moon as If it wepe
only sixty miles away is utterly
wrong. for If the moon were really
only at that distance we should see
only very small part of 1t instead Of
the entire half, which we do see. We
should, he says, see only one-ninetieth
Of what we see now.
Professor Gore says it is also an err
rOr to say that the stars can be seen in
broad daylight from the bottom Of a
well. He says they cannot be seen un-
less a telescope be used.

MASOiS WOULD SELL
TO The ODD FELLOWS
Agree to Let Old Building Go and
Build "a New One-Odd Fellows
VIII Consider Proposition
Tonight.

Ballut Abyad Temple. \. r. & A.
NJ. last night decided to sell the
lodges old building at ia North
Third street to the local order of Odd
Fellows, If the latter would pay a
stipulated price. What this price is
has not been made public but II is
said to be so reasonable that it will
prove an inducement.
The odd Fellows have a corner at
Second and Lead that they have been
contemplating building IN for several
years. There are factions Of the
lodge who maintain that this is the
most desirable site Ia the city and
there will be a lively contest in the
lodge tonight when the proposition
to make a trade with the Masons is
put to a vote. An argument these
favoring the purchase are making IS
that if they buy from the MasOns
they win have lodge rooms imme-
diatoly. II they don't buy from the
Masons they may never have home
of their own.
