AVOID DRAUGHTs OF AIR.
Sheep Will Suffer Severely II Insuf.
ficientIy Housed.

A snotty-nosed sheep is a forlorn
looking object. Not alone is it forlorn
looking, but it is also undoubtedly for
lorn feeling. With it's membranes in
famed and integument congested, it
surely is not in a condition to be either
comfortable or happy. Such a sheep
never does we'll. Feed put into 1t fails
to bring returns, and money is being
lost instead of made on these animals.
One of the commonest causes of
snotty nose is standing in draughts of
air. Most farmers seem to utterly
disregard this matter and yet nothing
is much more detrimental to sheep in
winter than being exposed to draughts.
When they are right outside, heat is
generated rapidly and is radiated
slowly and uniformly. When they
are inside heat is generated slowly and
If draughts sweep across them, is
radiated very rapidly. Their fleece
parts, as they lie down and in very
short time they are thoroughly chilled.
A cold with all it's attendant evils re-
suits. If, on the other hand, sheep are
not exposed to dampness or to
draughts when inside, they are not
likely to take cold.
1t is carelessness on the part of
farmers or ignorance Of it's dangers,
rather than inability to overcome it,
that subjects sheep to such exposure.
Almost any man, under almost any
conditions, can devise a means of
keeping sheep out of draughts. One
method commonly employed is that of
keeping the sheep either outside or In,
thus avoiding the necessity of leaving
the entrance way continually open.
If the barn is a warm one, care must
be taken to regulate the temperature
by windows open on one side, else the
barn will become too damp and warm
and the sheep will take cold upon 60
ing outside. This scheme is a pretty
good one, as outside feeding and plen-
ty of exercise are associated with it's
proper working.
Another method of obviating
draughts suggested by The Farmer, is
to set a second door or gate at such
an angle with the regular one as to d.
rect the passage of air into corner
away from where the sheep lie.
Those who use open sheds have the
least trouble of all because the circu-
lation of air within is like that with
out and there are no rising currents.
The only difficulty in this case arises
when the wind or storm comes from
the direction of the open side of the
shed; then unfortunately nothing can
be done to protect the sheep except
put them in different quarters.
A little care and a little thought ex-
pended along this direction will be
more than repaid by the increased
healthfulness and growthiness of the
sheep.

CUR TAIN HINTS
Decorative Borders
Give Good Effect
to WiDdoWso

There is q fashionable decoration
who must fit short curtains to new
windows
This is the idea of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics of solid
color.
New curtains are made in this fash
ion and sold at expensive prices at
the shops that make specially of new
things.
A skillful woman can accomplish the
same result, but, mind you, stress is
laid upon the adjective skillful. A
woman who hasn't a clear idea of
color and who hasn't the Unborn knack
of getting things right with scissors
and needle, should turn the work over
to the woman who has this power.
Many seamstress has it whose work
costs little.
Separate borders can be bought at
the shops with surprising ease by the
woman who knows how to root out
the artistic thing. They do not come
for curtains as rule, but they serve
admirably.
The foundation color is usually deep
tinted, although some good patterns
can be gotten with the foundation in
natural crash tones. These are usu-
ally the best to work on. They go so
we'll with almost any other cover.
The designs on these borders are
Egyptian, Byzantine, or whatever
name suits best these formal lines in
vivid colors.
They can be put at the sides, bot
tom and top of short, narrow curtains,
and one is surprised at the effect.
They not only make an old curtain
Of use, but they give it new character
and style.
These borders can be used as a
plain or plated valance. This fashion
has widely returned in decorating
rooms, and although it keeps out light
to a certain extent, it gives finish to
the top of the window.
Often the effect, without a valance,
is bare. This is especially so when
the window jamb is deep and wide.
There is another fashion of using
ten-inch borders across the tops Of
windows and down the sides with
pane curtains that are set deep In
the window embrasure against the
glass;

STOCK MATTERS.

Blanket the horses when they are
exposed to hard winds. A bad cold
will prove a poor thing for the horse
and you too.
In stabling horses or COWS never
place the hay where they have to
reach up to feed. When the head of
the animal is up dust may get into the
eyes.
Keep more sheep, better sheep and
fewer dogs.
You ought not to be satisfied if you
can't put IL pounds week on lambs
during the fattening period.
The ram should be over year old,
and have masculine appearance, a
good, broad muzzle, and fairly large
head with plenty of width between
the eyes; the scrag short and heavy,
with the neck well blended into the
shoulders.

Worms In Horses

For the cure of worms in horses or
colts there is nothing better than
common tobacco. Pulverize the to-
bacco leaves with the hands and place
small quantity in each feed of
shelled oats for a few days and the
warns will be expelled without any
i'll effects to either horse or colt. Colts
will soon learn to like the tobacco and
eat it freely. Many colt that is now
kept poor and scrawny by the worms
if given pulverized tobacco leaves in
this manner will soon begin to thrive
and take on flesh. Worms are great
pests to colts and even old horses, and
keep them poor, and every humane
man should aid in getting rid of them

PILLOW TOPS .
EFDbroideyed Articles
That E)e serve Their
Popularity.

A pillow top is one of the few en-
broidered articles of which there can.
not be too many. What woman has
ever been at loss to dispose of
an extra couch pillow? For if
they are really enjoyed they get hard
wear, and need frequent replenish-
ing.
Flower designs are especially at.
tractive, though conventional scrolls
hold high favor.
AS for the material to be worked,
pongee, china silk, satin, velvet or
velveteen, especially the latter treat
ed with gold thread, would he extreme
ly good-looking; though there is moth
ing for ordinary use quite 80 accept
able as the art linens and crashes.
These may be secured in such charm
ing shades that the work must neces-
sarily result in good effect.
In view of the popularity of stem
Cling the work will be most effective
if done in fiat embroidery heavily
outlined. The well known Kensing-
ton stitch is the one to use Suppos-
ing the design to be one of roses or
carnations one shade of pink and one
shade of green will effect good
result, and then the whole should be
outlined in a darker shade Of each
color, or a very striking method would
be to gold-thread the entire design.
Treating it in this manner the effect
is compromise between stenciled
design and one for embroidery.
Some consideration for the color
scheme of the recipients boudoir will
be greatly appreciated. Green, Of
course, tones in with any hue, and
for a pink room a rose may be en-
broidered in pink, for yellow in
yellow. For the room done up in
red or mauve the conventional flowers
may take on more or less the shade to
match.
If the work be done upon linen it
should be done with a view to it's
launderableness, in which case you
must, of course, eliminate gold thread
and do the entire work with wash
silk, using flo for the Kens;ngton en-
broidery and the rope silk for the
outline work.
Back the pillow with the same ma.
terial as the face-not embroidered,
Of course; and if for boudoir use a
pretty method is to hem each square,
joining front and back at the line of
he1nstitching. This gives a simple
but effective finish and is little re-
lief from cords and tassels.
If the slip be made with buttons and
buttonholes or buttonloops, and the
materials be all selected with a view
to their washableness, the pillow may
be kept fresh and dainty.
For den or sitting-room, if dark and
heavy fabrics are used, cord is the
conservative and best finish.

To Piece Lace,

To piece lace take the figure at the
end of the lace, and commencing at
the end of the scallop cut around it..
close to the thread that outlines the
figure, being careful not to cut the
thread.
If there is plain net at the top cut
straight through it.
Basic this figure over a similar one,
being careful that every point and dot
Is exact.
With a fine thread, silk or cotton, &C.
cording to the lace, sew the cut edge
of the lace down, sewing over the out
line thread with fine stitches.
Then cut away the extra lace on the
wrong side, leaving only very mar
row seam.
If carefully done, the seam is al
most invisible.
