ALL FOOLS DAY-April l.

ly gets a hint of the trick that has been
practiced upon him.
The origin of this custom is hidden in
the unwritten past and no one seems to
be willing to venture a guess as to the
period of its starting. Every one is able
to recall some big hoax that was pulled
Cff'' on April 1 at some period of their
life. 1t not infrequently has been car
ried to an extensive incident. For exam
pie, the latter part of March, in 1850, a
vast multitude of people in England re-
ceived through the mail, a card hay-
ing the following inscription: Tower OF
London-admit the bearer and friend to
view the annual ceremony of washing
the white lions, on Sunday, April /, 1850.
Admit only at the white gate"
The trick is said to have been highly
successful. Cabs were rafting about
Tower hill all that Sunday morning,
vainly endeavoring to discover the white
gate 1t is more remarkable that any
such trick should have succeeded, when
we reflect how identified the LIST of April
had become even at that date, with the
idea of imposture and unreality.
By some it is supposed that the prac-
tice has been adopted from the Hindoos
who have. in their Hull" which termi-
mates with the 31st of March, precise
ly similar festival during which the great
aim is to send persons away with mes
sages to individuals, or individuals sure
to be away from home, and enjoy laugh
at their disappointment. To find the prac-
tice so widely prevalent over the earth,
and with so near coincidence of day,
seems to indicate that it has had a
very early origin amongst mankind.

In the ancient Alban calendar, in which
| the year was represented as consisting of
10 months of irregular length, April stood
first, with SO days to it's credit In the
calendar of Romulus it had the second
place, and was composed of 80 days. Nu
mas 12-month calendar assigned it the
fourth place, with 20 days; and so it re-
manned until the reformation of the year
by Julius Caesar, when it recovered its
former 80 days, which it has since re-
tanned.
April l. for many centuries, has been
consecrated to practical joking. On this
day it becomes the business of many
people, especially of the younger set, to
practice innocent imposture upon their
unsuspicious neighbors by making april

Spring PIoWinu

1t has for many years been my habit to drive
out TO cur farm every week day-that my health
and the wather will permit. 1t is refreshing to
both mind and body. 1 love the smell of the
freshly upturned earth 1 delight in watching
the strong mule teams as they step along stead
lily in front OF the turning plows, and see the
nice-cut burrows follow after the plowman's
feet.
The soft spring airs are delightful after the
long winter OF raw winds and cold rains. Every
little plant is awake and ready to put in its
appearance time. The plum bushes and
peach trees are seen far and near-the pink and
white combination giving show OF delicate
loneliness. and the blossoms are handsomer than
thousands which manufactured for millinery
purposes. The sprigs of grass are just as
busy to give touch of green. and in swampy
places the trees holding a tender filmy
banner sIoft-the harbinger of a wealth Of leaf
foliage in the near future.
But it is the spring blowing that gets into
my inner consciousness, because II foretells
what is coming to the tiller OF the soil.
There is one verse in the Pible that always
interests me. namely. blessed are the feet
of them who bring tidings of great peace
and It is the feet of these plowmen. which
brings tidings of a coming gracious harvest to
the children of men, There is strife along
with their promises Of plenty. Any industrious
farmer can see what is ahead Of him, in plan
ming a crop. II the Almighty Father gives the
rain and the sunshine in due season, there
will be bread for the hungry, and seed for the
sower. Blessed the feet of the hundreds

along to get ready for planting time, and

SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO THE EWES

If ewes have been we'll fed and are
strong and vigorous at time OF lamblng
the loss of the youngsters Will be small
III fed ewes produce sickly lambs
A young lamb is very tender the first
few days of it's life.
If they come into the world weak and
puny it requires but a breath of cold,
wet weather to kill them.
The ration for ewes just prior to
Landing is of the greatest Importance.
An excellent grain ration is oats,
bran and corn in equal proportions by
weight This of course, makes bran
much larger in bulk and some farmers
seem to be afraid to feed bran. This is
a great mistake because it is one of the
best rations to use at this time. AL
falfa makes excellent roughage.
If bran is not available, a little oil
meal makes an excellent substitute. The
ration mentioned will make plenty of
milk without laying on too much fat
and when the lambs are dropped the
ewes will be in good condition to take
care of them.
Good shelter for the ewes is also very
important. They require plenty of ve0-
tilation, but their quarters must be per-
fectly dry and free from drafts. 1t is
mistake to confine sheep in a barn
and windows at the top, because such
an arrangement is sure to be drafty.
1t is a good plan to build in front of
the shed an extension roof of about six
| feet, not sloping enough to prevent the
| sun from shining in, but sufficient to
carry off the rain. This will enable the
| ewes to have more light and air and it
will be found that they will spend most
of their time at the front of the shed
Sheep do not like damp, dark quarters
1t is highly important that pregnant
ewes should have plenty of exercise.
Confined in close quarters three weeks
prior to lambing renders them weak and
| listless and is often, we believe, the
cause of dead lambs at birth.
Clean, pure water should be provided
always. An excellent Arrangement is to
/ have a trough running through the shed
| it's entire length into which water can
be poured at least twice a day, to be dis
charged outside the shed. Sheep will ac-
tually starve before they will drink dir
| ty water or eat unclean food
Ice watr will produce abortion in
| ewes If they are forced to drink it all
the time, and some arrangement should
be made by which the water can be
tempered.

Pertinent Questions
About Registration

ATLANTA, Ga. March IS. 1910.
Editor Journal
Dear Sir: Please answer through
your valuable paper the following ques-
tons:
First-Is Il not true that any man
who has failed TO register not only now
but back as far as 1900 or any other
time. was DISTINGUISHED just simply be-
cause he did not avail himself OF the
opportunity OF registering? And has
shis not been the law an the time as
far back as the time OF our slater
Second-AIso. can't any free born
American citizen register and vote I'M
der our present Acknowledgement laws
under any of the following clauses, viz:
ANY man who has a good character.
Any man who can explain any para
graph OF the constitution or the United
States
Any man who was not born in servi-
tude.
Any man who was a soldier of any
of the vars OF the United States.
Any man VINO was in the war between
the states.
ANY descendant of any man who
fought in the wars of the United STATES.
Any man who owns $500 worth OF
property
Is there a man who was not born in
eervitude but who can register and vote
under the above clauses?
III so, i would like to see this man.
Also, isn't IL true that any man who
committed a crime against the state or
limited States has been and is now dis
franchised and was DISTINGUISHED even
before there were any disfranchisement
laws ever passed?
Are these not the only things that
disfrancnise and have always disfran-
ehised a man from time immemorialg
And has IL not always been that a
man had 10 register or he was disfran-
chised. or he disfranchised himself by
not registering and qualifying as a
citizen of the slater
Am not correct on the above. and
is not the only way a man can be dis
franchised is by failing to register,
which has always been the law?
Also. was not our good and fearless

chised in the last election as well as
remember. Just the same as anyone
else who fails to comply with the reg
