CARRIED OFF BY LION.
Horrible Fate Of Intrepid Hunter Who
Fell Asleep.

Near Tsavo station, 1873 miles from
Mombassa, during the construction of
the line. 29 Indian coolies were killed
and eaten by lions, writer on "Roose-
velt's Hunting Grounds" in the Ma
tional Magazine says. Naturally there
was panic; the men could not work,
and three young men, Messrs. Hubner,
Parent and Ryal, took a car down to
the dangerous locality to slay the
slayers of men. The car was left on
the side track at the site of a for
mer station long since discontinued,
where few days before a lion had
actually sprung upon a man on an
open railway truck as the train slowed
down at the station platform and car
ried him, vainly shrieking for help,
into the jungle.
The men knew they must keep
watch against these man-eating beasts
which had lost all fear of man and
would exert their utmost subtlety and
strength to feed their consuming de-
sire for human flesh. 1t was arranged
that a sentinel should be always ON
ghard, and Ryal held the midnight
watch. sitting. rifle in hand, where he
could command the doors and win
dows. Parent made a sleeping place
for himself on the floor, Hubner occu-
pied an upper berth, and all three an
ticipated successful hunt next morn
ing.
About two O'Clock, in the murky
gloom of the tropical night, overcome
by weariness and the enervating heat,
Ryal dropped asleep A pair of lam
bent eyes sought him out from the
half-open door. a noiseless. powerful
form crept by or over Parent as he
lay asleep, and seizing him in his
powerful jaws the man-eater of Tsavo
sprung out through the glass and sash
of the nearest window into the cover
of the jungle, where RyaTs whitened
bones were found later
This tragedy caused the assembling
of great hunting party which swept
the country about Tsavo. and among
the lions killed was one great old lion
which had imbedded in his SCARED
and lately-healed hide several frag-
ments of window glass, which un-
doubtly identified him as the slayer of
poor Ryal.

AS TO THE PROPER
CARE OF THE FLOCK
Ismbin9 Time. Dog Must
Considered-By Walter j. Quick. M. s., D..
Animal Husbandry, Virginia.

According to the reports collected,
the most favorable time for lambs to
drop. II intended for the June market,
is between February Is and March 1.
In order to have lambs drop February
15, the ram should be turned with the
ewes about September 10. Lambs
dropped before this date suffer the
hardships of the winter. and unless
the ewes are very literally fed. do not
get sufficient milk to make them grow
rapidly. These lambs become more or
less stunted and have not plump and
attractive appearance when marketed.
There is also greater possibility fo-
loss with these lambs. and much
longer season for heavy feeding with
the ewes. making an additional ex-.
pense without a corresponding in
crease in weight; while lambs dropped
after February 10 are less liable to
loss from the most severe winter
weather.
This tremendous loss would have
been almost entirely prevented had pre-
caution been taken at the proper time.
as the lambs were apparently strong
when born, but afterward perished
from starvation.

her lamb alive. if she has been proper

sired to feed any one alone, oats are
most suitable. Corn alone is not very
satisfactory, as it has tendency to
produce weakened lambs and a small
milk flow. 1t is very important to have
sufficient feeding room, as the danger
from crowding and pushing when
ewes are heavy in lamb is very great
and likely to cause some cases of
abortion.
All rams should be separated from
the breeding ewes as soon as the
breeding season is over. as abortions
frequently occur from bunting by the
ram at feeding time.
Except in the extreme northern sec
tions all that is necessary is sufficient
shed room to accommodate the entire
flock without crowding, and sheltering
them from storms, winds and
draughts. Too many have the idea
that the wool of the sheep provides all
the protection needed In reality sheep
are about the most tender of the yari-
GUS kinds of stock, and were it not for
the liberal protection provided by ma
ture more protection would be neces-
bdiy tiian iOi any olntT SloCh. EoueGp
never thrive If confined to either
draughty or close, badly ventilated
buildings. A shed with good protec-
tion on the north, east and west, and
an open southern exposure is most de-
sirable, with an allowance of about 12
square feet of floor space per sheep.
There should be warmer arrange
ment for ewes when they drop In bad
weather and each eve should be sep

The location should be high and dry.
The building should be literally sup

ness and insure cleanliness. A yard
should be attached. having a dog-proof
fence. Both shed and yard should be
supplied with feeding troughs, allow

Keep cIean.-The mixer should
keep his hands and his clothes clean,
especially during the process of milk
ing. A damp towel should be used
to clean the udders of the COWS be-
fore the milking is begun. The milk
ing should always be done with dry
hands, and the milk drawn into a
covered pail with fine wire mesh
strainer top. These rules when care
fully adhered to, will aid very mate

just lost lamb. II the dead lamb is
rubbed over the strange lamb while
wet. or the skin of the dead lamb tied
on the orphan, since the ewes affec-
tions are directed by the odor OF her
lamb.
In many sections the dog nuisance
is great detriment to the sheep in
dustry. The direct loss from severe
chasing and worrying is often not SO
great as the loss that follows. Breed
ing ewes that have been badly worried
and frightened rarely, IL ever, entirely
recover. The result is usually weak
and inferior lambs at the next lambing
season, with some abortions and many
abnormal presentations of the foetus.
In fact, many breeders of registered
sheep consider their breeding flock al
most ruined after having been severe
ly chased by dogs. Frequently large
number of ewes will not breed for
some time after being chased and
badly frightened.

pends largely on its enforcement; but

The wire is fastened to posts set 25
feet apart, the bottom wire being three
inches from the ground. One-barbed

pieces are set outward and upward
