1t Is pretty safe to assume, what
ever notions one may have rs to the
care Of stock, that they will do best
when provided with comfortable quar-
ters-this having TO do with dry and
clean rather than especially warm
sleeping quarters. Animals are pro-
vided by nature with about all the
clothes they need. their coats being
changed to suit the different seasons
Of the year. Coupled with this fact.
note should be taken of how careful
both domestic and wild animals are
in the matter OF seeking dry and
clean resting quarters. and this IS no
ticeable even in the case OF the hog.
which IS considered one Of the filth

The job OF making paths in the
snow about the farmhouse may be
reduced TO minimum through the
use of a one or two horse pillow, which
Is easily made by mailing together
two twelve-inch planks OF the de
sired length, properly fitted at the
Joining ends at little less than
right angle, and inserting a couple OF
strong braces between the planks,
which will also serve as the support
for n small platform on which the
driver may stand. The same kind OF
n plow on Il much smaller scale may
be rugged up for pushing by hand and
will give excellent results IL the snow
is not too heavy and does not pack
too hard

with that which is required Mt other
seasons OF the year, 1t should include
at least n frequent inspection of the

protect them with wood veneer or

come very deep and cover the pro-

be especially necessary, as at such
times other food supplies OF the or

Eaa. Shaped Skulls.

From the New York Herald.
The egg shaped heads of some of the
natives of Malekula, in the New He
brides, were once thought to be natur-
ally comical. For that reason scientific
men decided that the Malekulans were
on the lowest rung Of the human lad
der. Later it was found that the conf
cal heads were produced as the Chinese
woman distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy, says a writer in the
Geographical Magazine. The egg
shaped head is still fashionable in
Malekula, where some extraordinary
results are achieved
A conical head retreats from the fore
head in such a manner that one is
amazed to know the owner of this re-
markable profile preserves his or her
proper senses such as they are. / could
not hear. however, that the custom was
supposed to affect the intellect In any
way.
The conical shape is produced by
winding strong sinnet cord spirally
about the heads of the babies ant
tightening the cords from time to time
a piece of pleated mat is first put OF
the head and the cord is coiled ovel
this so as to give it n good purchase
The crown of the head is left to develol
in the upward and backward fashion
that Is so much admired.

The Passage.

Many year Is in its grave
Since ] crossed this restless wave,
And the evening, fair as ever,
Shines on ruin, rock and river.
Then, in this same boat, beside,
Sat two comrades, old and tried;
One withall fathers truth,
One with all the fire OF youth.
One on earth in science wrought.
And his grave in silence sought;
But the younger, brighter form,
Passed in battle and In storm.
Sc, wheneer turn mine eye
Back upon the days gone by,
Saddening thoughts OF friends come Ger
me,
Friends who closed their course before me.
Yet what binds us, friend to friend,
But that soul with soul can blend;
Soul-like were those hours of yore-
Let us walk in soul once more!
Take, o boatman, twice thy fee!
Tako-I give 1t willingly
For, invisible to thee,
Spirits twain have crossed with me.
