Although there are no statistics

lawyer of Geneva, whose specially Is
divorce cases, said recently that at

Swiss Law Iers will not definitely take

disappOintmCntS and failure with my
brood s0Ws, as many kinds develop so
slowly. SO after studying the merits
of the Tamworths cannot from my
own exp ,rience praise them too highly.
The mothers have shown more intel
ligeace in taking care of their litters
than any enc would think it was pos
sib!e for SOW to show. The pigs
soon learn to take care Of themselves
ard come TO maturity at an early age
While it is true that they have long
noses. at the same time their heads are
SMALLER in proportion to their bodies
than in any other breed. They are good
foragers and yet are easily fenced
And, in regard to size, if you want
them to reach 800 or 900 pounds they
have the frame for it.

Dairying In Winter.

Winter dairying has many advan-
tages In the first place. all dairy prod
ucts sell at a high price in the winter.
If cows come fresh in the fall they
produce good flow of milk during the
winter months, and in the spring when
they are turned on grass this acts as a
second freshening and thus lengthens
the period of milk production. An
other distinct advantage is that during
the winter season the farmer is not so
busy with other work. consequently he
can give more time to the care Of the
cows, the milk and the cream than is
possible during the busy season

Sheep Notes.

The sheep must have clean. dry. con-
genial quarters in which to spend the
winter If they are to be healthy and
profitable to their owner, says the
Farm Journal.
Feed regularly clover hay or alfalfa,
all that will be eaten clean.
Remove all stubs or hay that is left
over and feed to the colts.
Sheep will never touch, if nearly
starving. what has been picked over
and breathed upon.
A sheep that is in good order at the
beginning of winter will come out in
the spring with its head up and on all
tours.
A twO-year-O,d at the head of your
herd will be pretty sure to give you
some fine lambs next spring.
TO have COOL sized sheep they must
be grown rapidly while young. and ii
is important to give them Il good start

sure to have unthrifty cattle and is
wasting his money and land.
There is nothing that adds so much
to the thriftiness of cattle at so little
cost as comfortable quarters in in
clement weather From the stand
point Of economy as well as that of
humanity no feeder can afford to allow
his animals to 60 shivering and ex-
posed to the elements. Such careless
ness will surely cut the supply of milk
or greatly reduce the development of
the beef animals. Exposure cuts weight
and milk, and these take feed. The
more exposure the more feed required
before there is surplus energy, which
is the feeders profit 1t is necessary.
therefore, that the animal be well shell

claiming: 'Hulloa. Mr.. Macdonald, I
like your story Noticing the little

how did you like it? To which he
answered.: That story was all right

shorthand. The oldest known system
since the Roman days is that called
the "Ars Scribendi," dating from the
year 1412. DR.. Timothy Bright's sys-
