point of view of health. In the
North Country the clipping is usually
done in an open-fronted covered shed,
where there is plenty of light. An

is laid over the earthen floor, and
these are kept clean by sweeping.
The actual method of clipping is very
similar, fancy, in all districts-first
the opening out of the head neck,
brisket and thighs, then the curving
round the ribs from the belly u-) to
the back, first on one side and then on
the other, and then the quarters. A
well-clipped sheep should show the
rings formed by the shears running in
continuous lines all round its barrel
and up the quarters; there should be
no break along the back where the
line travelling up one side meets that
coming up the other. These lines, or.
little ridges of wool, should be small
and of uniform size, and they should
all be at the same distance from one
another. 1t is quite wonderful how
much better a nicely-shorn sheep
looks than one which is carelessly
and untidily done. And there is more
in it .han mere pleasing of the eye.

Very often a helper Is engaged for a
fortnight or so, to push the work
through, but the heaviest part of the
burden rests on the shoulders of the
permanent hands Needless to say, it
is busy time while it lasts, for all
the other work of the farm has to be
carried on simultaneously, and it
means, for the shepherds, getting up
very ear5y-not later than 4:20, and
working late. The permanent hands,
having their ordinary work to get
through as well, do not, of course,
clip so many sheep in day as clip
per specially engaged for the job.
About score per man, or there
abouts, is considered a very good
days work; a good hand working full
time will turn out, on an average,
about thirty. Formerly he used to be
paid by the day, but it is more usual
now to follow the piecework plan.
On both sides of the Border the
Lowiand sheep are always washed a
week or so before shearing But
many farmers assert that there are
other benefits which accrue from it..
They say the washing improves the
health of the sheep Some old writ
ers held this view, and Youatt quotes
that excellent chemist Vauquelin, who
says: In this respect | am inclined
to adopt the opinion of those who
think that the washing of sheep dur
ing dry warm weather, may be use
full to their health and to the quality
of the wool" However this may be-
1t is beyond question that the practice
of washing. previous to shearing, is Of
ancient date, and it is quite probable
that its origin is to be found in the
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1909-06-18

The earliest method of securing the
wool was to drive the sheep quickly
through a narrow passage, and the
squeezing and rubbing of one against
another loosened and detached the
wool. Later, an improved plan was
adopted, which, in our ears, sounds
somewhat inhumane, although, as a
matter of fact, If done at the right
time, there would probably be moth
ing painful or severe about it. The
sheep were caught, and the wool was
pulled from their backs by hand.
This practice continued for many hun
dreds of years, for although Laban
and the other great pastoralists of his
time clipped their sheep, Pliny tells
us that, in his day, when Rome was
IN the zenith of her glory, "the sheep
are not everywhere shorn, but the
custom of pulling off the wool con-
tinues in some places" 1t is to the
old patriarchs, then, that we must
give the credit of having set about
getting the wool in a business-like
way, and from their day until now
practically no change has taken place
in the manner and method of clipping.
Most of the clipping on the big
Border farms in Great Britain is done
by the ordinary shepherding staff

Oil Lamps Brighter Than Electric
Light.

Probably one of the most wonderful
as we'll as useful OF modern inven-
tions is that of a New York scientist
who has just secured from the Gov
ernment protection on lamp burner,
which by converting the oil into hy-
dro-carbon gas, burning on mantle,
gives an eighty candle power light
with less oil consumption and with
out carbonizing the mantle or over
heating the lamp. 1t can be fitted to
any lamp and the wick lasts a life
time, There is absolutely no danger,
no odor and no smoke. The Union
Light Co., of New York City, have ac-
quired the selling rights of this burn
er, which is called the "Herzog,' after
the inventor, and, we understand, are
making special discount to introduce
1t into each township with a view OF
securing local representative.

FACTS ABOUT
HENS AND EGGS
How to Make Most Money from
Poultry.

When cholera appears in the flock
give no water except that in which
pokerroot has been boiled. This is both
u preventative and a cure. An Hi.
nois man says one of fiis hens laid an
egg two and seyen.eighths inches long
and one and fifteen-sixteenths inches
wide, the measurement being taken
with calipers.
One man will win with one kind of
hen and another man with some other
breed. 1t is with hens as it is with
COWS. We should choose the breed we
like the best and then stay with it.
Fowls are naturally hardy, and con-
tagion In flock is due to careless
ness on the part of the poultry keeper.
This is proved by the fact that ex-
pert poultry raisers have very few
sick chickens.
Hens need better place in which
to roost than the trees around the
house. OF course, they may survive
there: but merely living and returning
profit are two different things.
Don't stop feeding the hens shells
just because they are ont of doors
and can shift for themselves. There
is no line. not even an imaginary one,
between the days when the hen likes
shells and when she does not All
days are alike in that respect.

Gen. Mahone," he said, was very
thin. One cold and windy December
morning in "a he was taking nap in

seized a scabbard and made for Davy.
Davy ran. The general gave chase.
Uncle Davy tore up hill and down
dale till he was pretty well out of
breath; then he looked back over his
shoulder at his master, who bounded
after him on slender limbs, blue and
thin, his long, while night shirt fut-
tering in the chill morning.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
"Some time ago was making an Off
cial visit to distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal, The
whole family were so we'll pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con.
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but not in SO marked de
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was victim of long standing.

Ate a chick with Bio Eyes.

A trainman is telling an incident
that occurred on Mohawk G. Malone
train up in the woods the other day.
The train was standing on siding
waiting the arrival and passing of an
other train when an Italian walked
through the coach, his hands crossed
on his stomach and his head wagging
from side to side in doleful manner.
What's the matter, John?" some
one inquired.
oh me sick-me sick as dev." re-
piled the man. rolling his head still
more distressingly and continuing the
rubbing of his stomach.
Sick? Well, what you been eat
ing?" asked the sympathetic passen-
ger.
'Eata de chick with the big eyes"
responded John, as his groans in
creased.
John had killed an owl the night
before and it didn't agree with him.

slovenly manner; this may frequently
be seen in the case of clipped hoggs
There is also no loss of wool in the
former case; in the latter, too much
is frequently left on the ridges, and
this, of course, reduces the weight of
fleece.
The use of clipping machines in.
stead of hand-shears has made, as
yet, little headway in the north; but
more attention is being given to the
idea year by year. On some of the
larger farms, one or perhaps two
hand-driven machines are to be found;
none is power driven. IL machines
come into general use it will be be-
cause of the difficulty of finding casual
clippers rather than for reasons of
economy. The farmers do not antici.
pate any great saving of expense by
the use of machines; they say that
one man with a machine driven by a
lad or woman worker will not get
through more than the number which
two good men could clip-that is to
say, about sixty per day. When the
woman's wage is added to the cost
of cleaning, oiling, repairing and de.
preciation of the machine and is set
against the out-of-pocket expenses in
