He made fair use of his opportuni-

he could not subdue. He gave his
children good hunting education,
and perhaps taught them the rudi-
ments of art-how to scratch pictures

Up to the present time seniority

those found in Neanderthal, Ger

thirty years later When the Mean
derthal skull was found Darwinism
was in its infancy, and men were
rather ashamed to acknowledge their
ancestors. To-day they are eager to
trace back the relationship as far as
possible. The Neanderthal skull has

of the Chapelle-aux-Saints specimen.

The Chapelle-aux-Saints headpiece
was found in one of the numerous
limestone caves of the ,Correze dis
trict, amid flint stones and the bones
Of deer and bison. The geological
level was about the same as that in
which the Neanderthal and Spy bones
were discovered. Together with the
skull, some vertebral and hip bones
were unearthed, which led M. Mar
ceilin Boule, director of paleontology
IN the Paris Museum, to determine
the sex Of the earliest known human
being. Small hip bones showed that
the creature was a man, and the
sutures of the skull that he was ripe
with years when he died. He was
about five and one-fourth feet high.
The walls of the skull are very thick,
the skull box is flattened and slopes
to the front and the eye arches are
exceedingly large and prominent. A

paw were characteristics In life. This

latest to have appeared, and this
model shows that feature at it's best.

PROJECTION OF CHERRIES.

One of the annoying incidents in
the raising of cherries is. the raw.

very great loss, especial. in the
early years of fruit bearing, because

We believe that it will pay for
every grower of cherries to j;nan some
protection by netting. It is said thst
in European countries this method
of protecting cherries is common. The
obstacle in the way of doirg this In
this country Is that the demand for
such netting is not large enough to
make 1t an object to manufacture 1t.

Automatic Bottle-Filler.

A bottle-filling machine has been
recently invented by two Philadelphia
men for which several interesting i'm
provements are claimed by the inven-
tors. In the first place, it Is more
thoroughly automatic than any of the
devices now in use for this purpose,
and, further, 1t seems capable of a
greater range Of adjustment. It will
handle material of any character
without regard to its density, weight
or consistency. The list includes min
eral waters, molasses and tomato cat

the machine can be made to handle
boxes of different sizes and shapes.

FARM AND GARDEN
SHEEP I'M DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

SHEEP IN DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Sheep pay well when kept on a
general farm where grain is grown
and where other live stock is raised.
They are economical feeders under
such circumstances because they set
their living mostly from fence cor
ners and other out of the way places,
Their appetites are peculiar wnen
compared with other animals because
they seem to prefer weeds and brush
to the ordinary tame pasture grasses.
An experiment at the Minnesota
station showed that out of 4S0 kinds
of weeds there were only fifty kinds
that sheep would not eat
A farmer in Livingston County, IL
linois, said that his sheep had made
him $1,000 in three years by living
principally in the fence rows in the
summer time. Besides the money re-
ceived he has got rid of great many
aoxious weeds.
Mr.. Winter, another Illinois farm
sr, figures that the lambs sell for as
much as the ewes cost, and that the
wool pays the cost of their keep. He
estimates the value of a full grown
healthy sheep at $500. A flock OF
ewes will average one lamb each. A
100 pound lamb will bring nix cents
per pound or $500 which returns the
original value of the eve. He may
reasonably expect a 8 pouna fleece
which at twenty cents will bring a
dollar and eighty cents, enough to
pay for the keep of the mother and
offspring.
The mcst advantageous tin to sell
is when the lamb weighs eighty
pounds. At this weight the cuts are
comparatively small and the buyer
is better satisfied, as the cuts are
more convenient to use e!ldes be-
ing more economical The customer
is assured that he is buying lamb in
stead of mutton. Of course 1t is inn
pcrtant to have the lamb fat 1t
should be in such condition mat you
cannot feel its ribs easily If the
side of the lamb feels like a wash
board it is not fit for markea.
The health of sheep can only be
maintained by close acquaintance and
individual attention. If the ear of a
sheep lops down 1t is a good plan
to investigate because this is one sign
that the sheep is not in gooa healthy
condition. There are msny other
health signs that must be learned in
order to make success in caring for
them. -Epitomi
