the old vacant chair. Sitting in the
middle of the floor, with a plaintive

Gus riot of sad rccollections that time
can never efface. Volumes of bitter
anguish come to me when l arrive

publicity, and strike my best toe
against the rocker of the old vacant
chair. Then, forgetting for the mo-
ment my unclad feet, kick the chair
on the other rocker. That is when
the sadness and suffering that fingers
around the old chair comes out with
an extra edition and great chunks of
gloom settle over me like herd of i'll
natured flies.-Oregon Journal.

RESULTS OF SHEEP BREEDING
Kind of Animals Desired Must Be Con.
sidered When Determining
Strains to Be Crossed.
BY c.. S. MII,IER)

This cross, one much in favor where
more wool is aimed at, and the pro-
duction of big mutton, is that of Lin
coin ewes mated with a HAMPSHIRE
ram.
The Hampshire sire gives color and
lean flesh, and the Lincoln eve size
and greater weight of wool and the
tegs, carrying a big weight of wool
and mutton, realize big prices when
fat. 1t is not good cross for pro-
ducing fat lambs, as Lincoln ewes are
not as good mothers as the short
wooded and dark-faced breeds, and con-
sequently the lambs do not mature so
quickly.
The Suffolk, too, is gaining favor
very rapidly as a suitable cross on
ewes bred in the way before men

strong, hardy construction are the Suf-

The Suffolk is also a handsome sheen
and helps to improve the form and ab
pearance, and his coal black face gives
the color the butcher likes. for he

shire and the size and early maturity
of the other breeds blend We'll together
and produce first-class mutton.
The Shropshire has never claimed to
be an early maturity breed and on cold
clays does not get big enough to suit
the taste of the farmer, and the butch.
ers complain that it is too fat natured.
The latter is probably due to the
land and on the rich loamy and sand
stone soils of it's native country the
Shropshire gets into good weight
and the mutton is more in favor than
any other.

Calf Stanchions.

A, cross section showing dimensions

These Stanchions form a section of a
fence. as shown at ends. The II by 6-inch
blocks under the trough are supports for
the structure. The long trough is divided
by partitions into 15-inch and 9-inch COM
partments, alternating with each other.
The 13-inch compartments are in front Of
stanchions and form the feeding boxes.
The 9-inch spaces are not utilized
ing this dry material after the skim
milk is finished prevents the calves
from sucking each other when they
are let out of the stanchions in which
they are fed. The quantity Of grain
is gradually increased until at two
months of age the calf is receiving
quart Of the mixture a day. About
this time the feeding of small guam
tity of roots and silage begins, and
the calves are given all the hay they
will eat Milk is fed until the calves
are six months old, sometimes longer.
They have access to fresh water at
all times.
The calves are fed in stanchions
like the illustration. These stanchions
are very convenient and are easily
constructed.
When the calves are turned out to
pasture and begin to eat grass freely,
they are fed less milk. grain, etc,
though, as previously stated, milk is
fed more or less until the calves are
at least six months old.
The owner cautions against breeding
heiters too soon. Ee says that heifers
should not bring calves under Is or 26
months of age, and 80 months is bet
ter. Make winter cows Of as many
of them as possible; enough will go

FISHING Extraordinary,

Representative Flood of Virginia
tells a good story in which one of
the characters was Gen. Reuben Lind
say Walker of the confederate army.
On one occasion the general was wait
ing for his breakfast, and his faithful
negro servant had gone to catch some
fish for the feast When the serv-
ant was away an unusually long time
the general called to him impatiently:
Why don't you come here with that
fish, Sam?"
Sam in the meantime had caught
a founder, which is white on one side,
with whiteness that loks like raw
fish meat
All right, Massa Reuben!" called
out Sam. Use comm des ez soon

SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE
THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield SO hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiva-
ton of the lands in these provinces.
Almost any section of the country will
do as we'll
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break it
up and crop it, make $17,550 out of
the yield and $10,880 out Of the increase
of value all within the short period
of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, well known
farmer within few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the $40 acres of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He, Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 500
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats.
The wheat yielded 1875 bushels, and
the oats yielded 4,750 bushels. The
whole of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth ST, $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $50 an acre,
just a SIT advance for the time Of his
purchase. The land cost $11,320 in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures of the case.-Land cost, $40
acres, at SIS, $11,320. Wheat yielded
1885 bushels, at 81 cents a bushel,
$16,695. Oats yielded ALSO bushels
at % cents a bushel, $685. Offered
for land, $40 acres at $35 an acre,
$22 400. Increase value of land, $10,S80.
Total earnings of crop, $17,550, togeth-
er with increase in value of land a to-
tai of $28,54O
It is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 3315 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are a fair indication of the aver
age throughout the district

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Liberal feeding is required in the
breeding flock if good results are to
be had.
1t does not pay to keep ewes more
than five years old unless they have
proven wonderfully prolific.
In order to obtain the fullest value
for the Angora fleece it is absolutely
necessary to sell the long and short
hair separately.
Don't let the children tease the
young ram. The boys thing it great
fun to see him back off little or get
ready to butt, but it makes the ami
NAL vicious
The silo is come in favor with beef
growers and there seems no reason
why it should not Green corn is
great feed for cattle and silage is
green corn preserved.
A mess of cooked turnips given to
young stock often is excellent in i'm
proving digestion. The turnips are not
very nutritious, but they are appetiz-
ing and form change from the usual
dry feed.
Pure air and an abundance of sun
shine are essential to the health of
the herd, and if these factors are neg
lected the stable will be more or less
damp and afford an excellent breeding
place for disease and vermin.
Moderate work is not only harmless
but positively beneficial to mares il
foal, provided proper care be taken not
to overload them. 1t is certainly bet
ter than keeping them tied up in the
stable or permitting them to run at
large in the yards or fields with many
other horses.
| 1t is impossible for one man to tell
another how many hogs he should
keep on a given acreage because so
much depends upon the tastes and in
stincts of the man himself, and also
upon the kind Of farming he is doing.

Profitable Ioo.

The profitable market hog must pos
sess a good, strong constitution, for
without this no hog can make a good
market hog. The hog that possesses
a good, strong and vigorous constitu-
ton. is invariably extremely good
through the heart and chest. and here
is where he lives, and he cannot be
strong and vigorous if he lacks in this
essential of development. He should
have a good strong back, be broad
and strong through the loins, for it is
a mere chance if we ever find a profit.
able market hog chat is weak and
poorly developed through the loins.
